Chapter 84: The Owner of the Conquest Ring (Part 2)END
“Your mother, Arwen, is Saintess of the Elf Race,” James said with a smile. “He is the World Tree Guard and his authority is on par with the Elf Council. When the Council begged him to seduce your father, he agreed. However, Arwen had no intention of marrying your father.
“Their plan is to use only your father to fight the Devil Invasion and then give him a lot of rewards after the invaders are expelled from the Fairy Land. What they didn't expect was that your father, Maxwell, wasn't just an expert at conquering dungeons. He is also an expert in conquering the hearts of women.”
James stopped as another laugh came out of his lips. “Although your mother is a High Elf and a strong-willed woman, she is still a girl who never knows what love is. Maxwell is not a fool. He knew what the elves were planning.
“However, he also fell helplessly in love with your mother. As I said, my son has a weakness towards beautiful women and your mother is the most beautiful woman he has ever seen in his life.”
William was enamored with James' storytelling skills and waited with anticipation for the continuation of the story.
“Three days before the elves planned to counterattack the invading Demon Army, Maxwell slipped into the Sacred Forest where the World Tree and your mother lived. What the Elf Council doesn't know is that Arwen has fallen in love with your father's charm and secretly tells him the hidden path that allows him to enter the Holy Forest without the guards noticing it.
“There, the two share a passionate night. Arwen has surrendered herself to Maxwell, and the latter takes responsibility for making her fall in love with him. In the original plan, this was not supposed to happen. The Saint should only devote himself to the World Tree for the rest of his life. Of course, this does not mean that Saints cannot marry and have children.
“She can, but as I said this is not part of the Elf Council plan because Saintess is bound by very strict rules. The man who takes his chastity will be his only lover for the rest of his life. Even the Elf Council was unable to overturn the rules that the First Guard had set since the World Tree was born.
“At that time, the Chairman of the Elf Council was planning to marry off his son to Arwen. Damn for him, your father was a step faster and the rest is history. Your father went to war and drove the invaders back to the Demon Land.
“The Elders thought that they had succeeded in their plan, but behold, your father impregnated your mother in that one passionate night.
“The Head of the Council was furious and his son was almost crazy when they heard the news. They originally planned to kill your father, but who is your father? He is an Underground Conqueror. When he summoned all the Underground Prison Monsters under his command, the entire Fairy Council had no choice but to reluctantly allow their marriage.
“Not only that, your cruel father forced his way and asked the Chairman of the Board to resign his position and put Arwen's father, Theoden Aeanarion, as the new Chairman. Naturally, the elves had no choice but to agree to his request and thus, the bastard planner was removed from his position. ”
That was when James let out a long, deep breath. “I thought your father and mother would have a happy ending, but it was just wishful thinking. The former Head of the Council, along with his entire Clan, rebelled and devised a plan to help the Demon Race bring their Elite Troops to the Holy Forest by using long-range teleportation.
“Their plan is to use the World Tree as a hostage to make the Elves submit to the Demon King. Their plan worked, but the results were far from their expectations. Although the World Tree was sacred to the elves, it meant nothing to Maxwell.
“He summoned his army and fought his Demon King and Demon Elite within the Sacred Forest. The battle was so fierce, that the Demon King was heavily injured and the World Tree split in two. Also during this battle your father obtained the Conquest ring from the severed arm of the Demon King.
“If it wasn't for the sacrifice of his subordinates, the Demon King's life would probably have ended then and there. He managed to escape back to the Demon Realm, losing his elite army, and his arm in the process.
“The Clan Elders who had betrayed the Elf Race were executed, and the rest were exiled. Even so, one big problem still remained and it was the World Tree. it was on the verge of death.”
James refilled the cup with wine and drank it slowly as if trying to wipe away the bitterness lingering on his soul.
“If the World Tree dies, the elves will no longer be able to give birth and their race will lose its blessings. For the sake of his wife, and the child growing up in his body, your father decided to make a sacrifice.
“He used the power of the Underground Conquerors and fused with the World Tree. The tree recovered its vitality due to the incredible strength of the Underground Conquerors. You must understand that your father, Maxwell, has conquered many dungeons. The magic power of Dungeons was almost limitless and they only grew stronger with time.
“It was more than enough to revive the World Tree. The elves survived the disaster, but many still hold grudges against your father. Although we have told you that your father has died, this is not entirely true. He had joined the World Tree, so basically, he was the World Tree. However, in doing so, he also lost his feelings.
“Even your mother, the Guardian of the World Tree, was unable to communicate with her. The only thing left of him is a ring on your finger. If my premonition is correct, he keeps the power of the Underground Conqueror in the ring. He did this to prevent the birth of other conquerors.
“Maybe Arwen felt that those old bastards were starting to plan again so he decided to send you here to the city of Lont. He was afraid that the Council Elder would use you as a hostage to force him to obey their orders.
"Your mother is really pathetic" complained James. “She lost her husband and son. Like a caged bird, he cannot leave the Elf Continent and embrace you. The only reason why they didn't try to touch you, and your mother, is because it's unlikely that your father will regain his consciousness inside the World Tree.”
What James did not tell William was that the elves were also facing another threat to their existence and that was due to the Elf Forecast by the Rayleigh Family.
"Will, I believe there's a way for your father to return to this world" James said with a solemn expression. “However, I don't know what method it is. Also, with your current state, you cannot go to the Elf Continent.
“If you leave, you will not only harm yourself, but also harm your mother. If you want to see him then you must be as strong as your father. That's the only way for you two to reunite.”
William clenched his fists with determination. She had felt her mother's sorrow through her letters. The young boy could feel a deep longing in his written words. There were times when William wanted to travel to the Silvermoon Continent only to hug her tightly.
"Grandfather, I want to meet him," William said as he looked into his grandfather's eyes. “I want to hug her. I wanted to kiss her and wipe the tears from her eyes. I want him to know how much I miss him.”
James did not say anything, but just looked at William with a calm expression.
"Have you found your purpose?"
"Yes." Yeah."
"And that was?"
William closed his eyes and pressed his right hand against his chest. “To reunite with my mother and find a way to make our family whole again. Also, I want to return the favor to the people who keep me from heaven. For that, I will need your help, Grandpa.”
James was confused about the passage about the men who kept William from heaven. Even so, he still placed his hand on William's shoulder and looked at him with a serious look.
“And you will have it. Starting tomorrow, your coach will start. I'll talk to the other boys. However, William, remember this. I will not interfere with their training methods. Whatever happens is your own decision, do you understand?".
William nodded his head. He finally found his reason for becoming stronger. He will reunite with his mother, save his father, and spread the name Gavin throughout the world. Lily secretly tells him through telepathy that apart from him, Gavin only has one other believer
A god who has no followers will no longer exist.
William won't let this happen. He is determined to spread the name Gavin around the world and unlock the power of the Jack of All Trades, which has not been seen for thousands of years.

Somewhere in the Ten Thousand Gods Temple, in a small hut standing on the outskirts, a fat man covered his face with both hands. Tears flowed down her face as she cried.
Gavin, the God of All Trade, heard William's words coming straight from his heart. He felt so happy that all the frustration, anxiety, sadness, and pent-up fear he had stored deep inside for thousands of years finally exploded.
That day, in that quiet hut, a God who was at the end of the rope, finally found a beam of light.
