Game of the World Tree

Chapter 329

As her field of vision rapidly descended, Eves consciousness quickly returned to her body.

They wouldnt be able to noticed my presence since I reined in my aura just now Ev muttered while shaking her head.

Although in the future, I really do must refrain from conducting such reckless investigations like these. Given the recent commotion in Seiges, its probable that it will likely draw the attention of other gods.

Thinking of the powerful auras she had just sensed mere moments ago, Ev fell into contemplation.

Those auras were way stronger than mine, and I even caught a familiar scent, similarly like the one from a few days back in Maple Leaf Citywhich probably belong to Etriu.

Moreover, they immediately turned their attention to the Abyss, which suggested that they must have also sensed Seiges sinking from its position tooWell, the fact that it managed to attract the attention of the gods in the first place suggests that changes in the Abyss are indeed quite an uncommon occurrence

However, its probably fine since the cause of this incident didnt originate from Seiges. If the sky falls, theres someone tall to hold it up and right now, Im just a weak, pitiful, and helpless world tree in need of nourishment!

I dont have the time to concern myself with the issue of the Abyss right now and Ill just address it once Ive become more stronger.

Hmmprovided that these issues werent really caused by me Ev stated then belatedly added,

It shouldntbe me, right?

After all, what I did was simply promote myself at most, the changes I made were just elevating the level of mana within Seiges, and this realm is just slightly above average, so the changes within Seiges probably wouldnt cause a drastic changes throughout the entire universeright?

Ev tried to assure herself but thinking about the impeccable timing of Seiges sinking, she couldnt help but feel really apprehensive about it.

Its really too coincidental!

The odds of it happening right after her strength being promoted was simply just too absurd for her liking

Ev pondered for a moment, then immediately returned to her Divine Kingdom and took out the Casket of the Dead to contact Hela.

Firstly, lets consult Hela regardless of the real reason behind this incident, my plan to restore my strength still remains unchanged as its a matter of my life and death.

With a sigh, she wrote down the details of the recent incident as well as some of her doubts regarding the Abyss, before sending it as a message to the other party.

Then after completing this task, Ev checked her current status as she manifested her own status screen.

[Name: Eve Yggdrasill]

[Race: World Tree (Ancient Deity)]

[Level: 150 (Myth)]

[Status: Weak Divine Power]

[Divinity: Nature, Life, Elvenkind]

[Titles: Mother of Nature, Goddess of Life, Matriarch of the Elves]

[Divine Power: 4124/10000]

[Number of Believers: 1421 (Saints 1, Fanatics 108, Devout Believers 453, Shallow Believers 859)]

[Abilities: Absorption, Communication, Bestowal, Enchantment, Healing, Summoning, Divine Descent, Celestial Domain]nove(l)bi(n.)com

[ Divine Artifacts: Withering Heart (Incomplete), Scepter of Life (Incomplete)]

After devouring Nidhogg, Eves divine power officially broke through the three thousand mark, reaching the threshold of weak divine power.

To be honest, even after attaining weak divine power, Ev couldnt discern any significant change within her strength, despite her prior expectations.

All in all, the only thing that changed was that her reservoir of divine power had expanded, giving her the ability to use more powerful divine spells. Her mastery of the fundamental laws and application of divinity grew more precise, while her influence over her network of faith expounded.

Of course, even though her strength has increased, Ev is still currently situated within Seiges, where the maximum power someone can output is only at the peak of demigod.

Therefore, in the end, the only place where she could unleash her full strength without reservation is outside there in the cosmic void.

Nevertheless, it doesnt mean that her promotion was meaningless since it made her more durable.

As time passed, Eves believers had become more numerous. Specifically, the number of elves that returned to the Elven Forest had surpassed a thousand, with the total number of believers among them reaching the number of 1421.

As the Oakhand Resistance continues to convince more of their fellow brethren from various human territories to return back to their homeland, it is foreseeable that the number of her believers will further skyrocket in the future.

However, what surprised Ev the most was the newly batch of Oak Guardians she inadvertently transformed during her promotion!

A grand total of 104 Oak Guardians, all of which are fanatical believers!

In addition, her further control over divinity and laws had also led to improvements in some of Eves abilities.

Firstly, the [Enchantment of Oak Guardians]

After enchanting Berserker to life back when she first reincarnated, she briefly entertained the notion of creating additional Oak Guardians.

However, she ultimately abandoned the idea due to the excessive divine power required for their enchantment.

Subsequently, despite acquiring more divine power later on, Ev still remained hesitant to pursue the creation of more Oak Guardians, given their significant association as the widely known envoys of her predecessor.

Yet now, the idea seemed feasible enough after being promoted to weak divine power.

Unlike before, Ev can now sensed that the consumption required to enchant an Oak Guardian had been greatly reduced.

Not only that butshe could even enchant an Oak Guardian and directly raise its rank to golden-rank now!

Of course, considering the sensitive identity of these Oak Guardians, she still wouldnt let them appear in front of other sentient beings

Sigh, its regrettable that Ive gained so many believers, yet Im still unable to utilize them properlyAnd if I just keep them on the sidelines, then theyd completely lose their effectiveness Its somewhat frustrating!

Ev shook her head.

However, soon, an idea crossed her mind:

Wait a moment

Perhaps I could order these Oak Guardians to help me manage my Divine Kingdom instead.

They are, in a sense, similar to angels after all. They can still provide me with faith even if theyre inside my Divine Kingdom. Not only that, but it will be beneficial for them too since they can absorb my energy if they stay within my Divine Kingdom for a long time!

Thinking about this, Ev quickly came up with a plan to relocate all the newly enchanted Oak Guardians inside her Divine Kingdom.

Over time, as they accumulate power by absorbing her energy, these Oak Guardians will eventually become one of her hidden trump cards, and shell only deploy them when necessary.

As for Berserker, Ev decided to elevate his strength to the golden-rank.

Being the Oak Guardian who had been with her the longest, he deserved this kind of favor.

These Oak Guardians can slowly accumulate their strength. Though they may not have much use now, one day, they will become a powerful force for me!

Eves mind buzzed with a calculated scheme, as she imagined going to war with a Legion full of golden-rank Oak Guardians in the future.

In addition to the improvement of her ability to enlighten Oak Guardians, Eves ability to give birth to the primordial elves has also been slightly modified.

Now, she can give birth to a primordial elf every six months without expending any divine power.

However, if she were to utilize some divine power, the birthing process would accelerate to only half a month.

The birthing of primordial elves must continue since this can be used to supplement the dwindling elven population

Additionally, this birthing process can synchronize with the use of the Scepter of Life to purify the half-elves into full-blooded elves. Unlike the players, elves are the core strength of my current believers; thus, strengthening them is really necessary

With this thought, Eve suddenly remembered a certain primordial elf she had forgotten.

Ive been neglecting to keep up with how Thranduil is doing lately. Perhaps I should make an effort to check in on him soon.

Then, Ev refocused her attention on Meryer.

The little black dragon had been teleported by Eve to the temple where her True Body resided and was still currently sleeping, seemingly undergoing some kind of change within his body.

After observing for a while, Ev understood the reason:

The part of the World Trees essence hidden deep within Meryers body has been activated

Originally, her predecessors essence that Nidhogg devoured was split in two, with one part being digested by him, and the other part merging with the Dragon Crystal to give birth to Meryer.

However, it seemed that the remaining part of the essence within Meryers body had long been drawn out once before, as there wasnt much left of it by now.

Otherwise, Ev wouldnt have taken so long to sense it.

And now, the portion of essence remaining within Meryers body had been awakened by Nidhoggs mental intrusion, and being absorbed by the little black dragon.

For Meryer, this was undoubtedly a rare heaven-sent opportunity; Meryers strength would likely greatly increase once he fully absorbed this portion of essence.

Considering that there wasnt much of this essence left, Ev decided to refrained from extracting and devour it for herself.

Instead, she decided to left it within the little black dragon.

As for why she did this

Ev lightly beckoned, and a phantom hexahedron appeared in her hand seconds later.

The hexahedron emitted a deep radiance, whilst being accompanied by vast pressure. Inside it, there seemed to be noises akin to roars of numerous black dragons

This hexahedron was one of the manifestations of Nidhoggs two major Divinities

Particularly, the racial divinity which represents the bloodline of Black Dragons.
