Absorb!

If Eve’s judgment was correct, this was the traditional method by which the World Tree gained energy.

The World Tree belonged to the ancient gods, and these gods possessed the ability to actively expand their own divine powers by absorbing void energy or other energy sources.

And now, having escaped a near-death state, the ability Eve acquired was absorption!

She focused her attention on her newly acquired ability, and the relevant information immediately surfaced in her mind:

...

[Absorption: The inherent ability of the World Tree in its initial form, capable of absorbing void energy, origin power, and life essence from the void, planes, and creatures, transforming them into her own divine power.]

Indeed it was an ability to gain divine power!

Eve felt a burst of joy in her heart.

However, looking at the details of this ability, she quickly grew curious again…

*”Initial form of the World Tree?”*

*Having been reincarnated as the World Tree for so long, this was the first time she heard such a term. Even in the heritage she had received, there was no mention of it.*

*”Could there be other forms? What level was the last World Tree?”*

*This inevitably led Eve to speculate…* *In its initial form, it was already an ancient god with weak divine power. If there were higher forms, what would they be like?*

*Intermediate divine power?*

*Great divine power?*

*Or perhaps… something else?*

*For a moment, Eve suddenly felt that she might have underestimated her new body.*

Then she noticed the several targets of absorption—

*”Void, planes, creatures…”*

The universe where the Segis World was located was different from Blue Star.

Or rather, they did not belong to the same universe at all.

The universe of Blue Star consisted of celestial bodies, the most common of which were stars, also known as the celestial universe.

But the Segis World was not.

The universe where the Segis World was located was a plane universe.

The plane universe was composed of planes with different attributes, each plane was a world sealed within its own bubble-like crystal sphere, and these crystal spheres floated in a kind of intangible, invisible special substance…

In the Segis Universe, this special substance was called the void.

The Segis World where Eve resided was the oldest high-level main material plane in the entire plane universe.

The main material plane was the most balanced in attributes, highly developed in rules, and the most conducive to the birth of life among the various planes.

It was said that the origin of life in the Segis Universe was in the Segis World, the earliest civilization also originated from there, and the entire universe was thus named Segis.

Reflecting on the origin of the Segis World and the description of the [Absorption] ability, Eve suddenly felt a bit strange:

*”The previous one being besieged by the gods… could it be related to this absorption ability?”*

*Absorbing energy from the void wasn’t a big deal. This energy absorption was similar to that of the planes and void creatures, with no harm. However, absorbing from planes and creatures…*

*Ahem, the origin of a plane was its fundamental power. If too much of its origin were lost, the plane would lower in rank, and in more severe cases, could even collapse.*

*As for drawing life essence from creatures…*

*To the gods, especially the faith-based gods who thrived on shepherding intelligent creatures, this was a potential threat.*

*If the predecessor really intended to tap into the origin power of the Segis Plane, or the lives in the Segis World a thousand years ago, being besieged wouldn’t be impossible.*

Only, if that were the case, the World Tree would probably have long been portrayed by the gods as evil, but, as per Eve’s observations and understanding, this wasn’t so.

Although the World Tree had fallen, judging from the reaction of the Half-Beasts, the impression left by the World Tree remained a revered ancient existence among living beings.

Moreover, the elves, the race born of the World Tree, still symbolized peace and nobility…

*”It seems the secrets of the divine war a thousand years ago run deep!”*

Eve sighed.

Getting nowhere with her thoughts, she decided to give [Absorption] a try.

Habitually predicting, finding no risks, Eve began to exercise the ability.

And as she employed the absorption ability, her vision changed in an instant!

She found her perception elevating continually, eventually breaking through the crystal sphere of the Segis Plane, *”seeing”* the endless void!

What’s more, she could even *”see”* the void energy, which theoretically should have been invisible!

This energy was like clusters of tiny light balls, executing orderly or disorderly movements in the void. Energy was being continually absorbed by the Segis Plane, while new energy continued to form in the void…

*”So this is void energy?”*

Eve’s heart stirred slightly, and she began to absorb it.

With the thought, she suddenly felt countless tiny light clusters representing void energy beginning to fly towards the Segis Plane!

The number of these void energy clusters was vast. They quickly entered the Segis World, most of them sinking into the origin of the Segis Plane, being absorbed by the plane, yet many crossed spatial boundaries straight into Eve’s body!

As the void energy entered, Eve felt a heated sensation all over her body, and her divine power value began to rise rapidly!

One point… two points… three points…

Her divine power continued to increase until it rose by a full thirty points, then gradually began to slow down!

At this time, her energy absorption rate also slowed, seeming to return to a normal speed.

Eve, feeling unsatisfied, focused on the void once more, discovering that she had absorbed all the void energy around her, and the remaining void energy had yet to spread from denser regions.

Estimating about it, at her current rate of absorption, she could probably amass one unit of divine power every ten days!

*”What an amazing ability! If I keep this up, even if I do nothing, I could reach the level of weak divine power in about eighty years!”*

Eve was very pleased.

Having shed the near-death state, her maximum divine power capacity had now become 3000.

3000 divine power points was the highest that weak divine power could have. To go beyond, she would need to upgrade her divinity or control higher-level laws.

However, the divinities that Eve possessed were already quite advanced, as soon as she restored a certain level of divine power, she could return to the corresponding rank.

In other words, once she accumulated 3000 divine power points, she could become a weak divine power.

This was also why Uller went to great lengths to seize the divinities of nature and life.

The reason being that the amount of divine power limited the level of a True God’s strength, but the divinities limited the capacity of divine power of a True God.

*”Absorption… truly is an extremely powerful ability!”*

Eve was very satisfied.

However, while she was being delighted with her absorption ability, the energy level of the entire Segis World suddenly changed…

In Eve’s perception, the magic level in the Segis Plane increased at a speed visible to the naked eye, within no time it was nearly one percent higher than before!
