Chapter 456
Ouros had ascended into being a Demigod.
Less than a decade after his audience with the Divine Matriarch, he finally broke free from the bounds of mortality, successfully igniting the divine fire of his own law, and became a genuine Demigod.
At the same time, an oracle from the World Tree was issued to all Temples of Nature across the land.
Demigod Ouros officially received the Divine Matriarch’s recognition, becoming one of the esteemed eight demigod-rank Godwardens under her service.
For the World Tree, which had no true god-rank subordinates, this was tantamount to having a subordinate deity.
From that moment, the prodigal elven rebel, notorious amongst elves and half-elves alike in his youth for his defiance of their traditions, was no more.
In his place stood the Church of Nature’s eighth demigod Godwarden, the Guardian of Life, who had forged his divine path by comprehending the laws of life.
Ouros’s rise caught both the elves and half-elves by surprise, as no one had expected that this prodigal figure would earn the favor of their Patron Deity.
Yet, from this point on, Ouros’s conflicts with the Church only intensified.
