Abel smiled. The reason he forced the tree of life to sign a master-slave soul contract with him was because he didn't want to lose the "world stone's" strengthening effect.
He already had experience in the Dark World, but he didn't know if he could use the tree of life to replace the 'world stone' with an equal contract.
Now, it seemed like he made the right choice.
Of course, the tree of life received more benefits, and it began to evolve into a more advanced form.
Starting from the trunk, the golden color slowly spread from the inside to the surface, and from the trunk to the rest of the tree.
During this process, Abel had been paying attention to his surroundings. He fully unleashed his power of the will, and this was the worship power of the Moon Goddess. As soon as any god entered the Ervo Forest, the Moon Goddess would notice.
The entire body of the Tree of Life turned golden, and it became the 'World Tree'.
This process was very fast. Maybe it had something to do with how long the tree of life had lived. Compared to the oak tree in the Dark World, the tree of life in the Central Continent was hundreds of times older.
As a matter of fact, most of the top figures knew that the tree of life was beneficial to the world. On top of that, the tree of life itself didn't have much value. The only thing that could be considered a treasure was the "water of life." The elves never treated the water of life as their own treasure. They would give it to anyone.
That was why the tree of life could survive for so long.
In a valley, Wizard Basham sensed something. He widened his eyes and looked towards the direction of the tree of life.
Although he was sitting in a dirty cave, Archangel Tyrael was still clean. He also sensed a weak but horrifying energy.
"What is that?" He looked at Wizard Basham's expression and knew he knew something was up, so he asked.
"The world stone has merged with the tree of life!" Wizard Basham hesitated for a moment and said the secret he had kept for tens of thousands of years.
There was no point in keeping this secret any longer. There was only one person in this world who could do something like this, and that was Abel.
What he didn't understand was how Abel was able to break through the shackles of the world when he just merged with the tree of life.
Although he had obtained some ancient knowledge, the records were not complete.
He thought Abel used the "world stone" of this world to fuse with the tree of life in the Dark World that Tyrael mentioned. That was how he was able to break through the shackles of this world, but he knew he was wrong.
"There's a world stone in this world? There's a tree of life! " Archangel Tyrael sighed. His voice was full of envy for this world.
If there was a tree of life in the Dark World, he could've taken the world stone and forcefully controlled the world.
Of course, this was just his imagination. If there really was a tree of life, the first to gain control of the Dark World would be hell, which had the advantage and the world stone.
"The world stone hasn't matured yet. I've been waiting for it for tens of thousands of years, and Abel took advantage of it!" Wizard Basham said unwillingly.
"Abel may have broken through the shackles, but it hasn't been long. He's in such a rush to merge the world stone with the tree of life. I'm afraid he's targeting us!" Archangel Tyrael shook his head.
Although he said that, he didn't seem to be worried.
"Archangel Tyrael, let's leave the continent and enter the deep sea!" Wizard Basham suggested.
"It's no use. Once Abel controls this world, we can't escape. We can only be captured!" Archangel Tyrael lowered his voice.
"Is there no other way?" Wizard Basham lowered his voice.
"No, didn't I say it already? Abel's breakthrough is too short. The merging of the world stone with the tree of life will attract all the powerful creatures in the world. Even if you count the wizards from the Wizard Union, he only has 30 gods. When I came to this world, I sensed 3 rank 45 sea monsters in the ocean. They will definitely come! "Archangel Tyrael smiled and shook his head.
"Even 3 rank 45 gods can't do anything to Abel!" Wizard Basham shook his head.
"What if the two of us join?" Archangel Tyrael's eyes flashed with battle intent.
He couldn't stand the suffocating days. Together with Wizard Basham, they only dared to attack unprepared resource points. They didn't dare to get close to bigger cities, and they also didn't dare to get close to places where they sensed the presence of gods.
They were worried that Abel would come after them if they exposed themselves.
This was their only chance to fight the final battle with Abel with the sea beasts.
Although the merging of the tree of life and the world stone was weak, it was still spreading across the entire world at an unimaginable speed.
This was the declaration of the world tree to all life as it grew. It was also a restriction on the world tree.
If there was a life form that didn't want the world tree to grow, they would use this opportunity to stop it from growing.
In the deep sea, a giant turtle, a 9-headed dragon, and a kun the size of an island floated on the surface of the sea.
Although they were tens of thousands of miles away from each other, they could still communicate with each other through the sea.
Following which, the three Level 45 Divine Sea Monsters simultaneously howled at the sky. Their howls stirred up the seawater, and massive whirlpools appeared all over the ocean.
This was the preparation of the sea beasts for countless years. Although they couldn't build a teleportation array like humans, they had their own way of doing it. The spatial devices developed by the sea beasts with special spatial attributes were simple, but they could still achieve the effect of teleportation.
Of course, these devices had a very strong side effect, which was to damage the body. It was more like an attack device than a teleportation device.
Only the divine rank sea monsters could use these devices to teleport. If the other sea monsters were to enter, even the immortal demigods would die.
These teleportation devices weren't for daily use. They were only activated when the 3 most powerful beings of the ocean summoned them.
But now, something that had never happened before happened. All of the teleportation devices were activated.
Originally, they were afraid that the giant dragons would find out about them and destroy them, so they were only activated individually.
The Dragon God took the four god-level dragon elders and flew into the sky. He looked at the deep sea in the distance with a worried look in his eyes.
The ocean had never attacked the mainland with all its might. This had something to do with the dragons, but the dragon god knew that the war between the sea monsters was the most fundamental reason.
There were too many resources in the ocean, which the mainland couldn't compare with. In addition, most of the resources produced by the mainland were of limited use to the sea monsters. This made the sea monsters rarely consider large-scale attacks on the mainland.
This time, however, it was different. The spatial fluctuations coming from the ocean showed that the situation was serious.
"Elder Eugene, contact Abel immediately and inform him of the situation!" The dragon god ordered in a deep voice.
"Yes, Dragon God!" Elder Eugene bowed and replied.
"Activate all of the defensive fortresses immediately. The dragon god's mission is to protect the mainland. This is the contract we signed with the mainland a long time ago. The dragon race is the first line of defense of the mainland!" The dragon god looked into the distance. His voice was very heavy but firm.
All of the giant dragons of the dragon race were on the move. The defensive fortresses built by the dwarves were scattered all around the central continent. Although there were only about 200 fortresses built by the dwarves, they formed a complete line of defense.
However, there were too few powerful dragons. Their powerful life force made it easier for them to become legends or even demigods, but it was extremely difficult for them to become gods.
Including the dragon god, the dragon race only had 5 gods.
When the dragon god sensed the presence of the sea monsters from afar, his face changed drastically.
In a hidden Space Device near the mainland, Deity rank sea beasts came out one after another. Chaotic Space Force tore at the bodies of these Deity rank sea beasts, causing them to be more or less injured as they rushed out of the Space Device.
However, the life force of the sea monsters came into effect. As soon as the wounds left the teleportation device, they healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The number of god-level sea beasts had always been a mystery to the dragons and the Wizard Union on the continent.
Even the sea monsters themselves didn't know how many sea monsters there were.
However, today, everyone knew how many sea monsters there were. The sudden increase of the presence of the sea monsters set off an alarm in the wizard union headquarters.
Wizard McPhee stayed behind to report to Abel, while the rest of the 19 wizards quickly teleported to the sky above the dragon race's defense circle.
Their faces were not looking good. There were more than 50 sea monsters in the distance, and they were still appearing in a stable order.
"Elder Eugene, did you get in touch with Abel?" The dragon god roared.
"Elder Abel is not in touch, but I have contacted the moon goddess temple. They know where elder Abel is, and they are on their way. I'm sure they will be able to contact him soon!" Elder Eugene appeared and bowed.
"I hope Abel can make it. Otherwise, today will be the end of the continent!" The dragon god mumbled as he gazed at the increasing number of sea monsters in the distance.
To be able to order a divine-level sea beast to come forth, it went without saying that the sea beasts were the strongest among the sea beasts. It had always been said that the sea beasts were stronger than the land beasts, precisely because they all understood the difference in strength between the top powers of the sea beasts.
It didn't matter how many powerful sea monsters came. If Abel didn't make it in time, he wouldn't be able to hold on. There were just too many sea monsters.
In fact, there were many similarities between the Sea Beasts and the Dragon Clan. Every Sea Beast was more powerful than the Sea Beasts of the same level on the continent.
Perhaps they would lose some of their power when they entered the continent, but the number of enemies would make up for it.
The divine-level sea beasts continued to appear, and their numbers had already exceeded a hundred. The aura of a hundred divine-level sea beasts at the same time could already compete with the Dragon God's aura, and even suppress it.
Everyone on the scene, including the dragons and the wizard union, knew that this was a battle they couldn't back down from. If the sea monsters broke into the continent, the entire continent would be destroyed.
Needless to say, with so many Deity level sea beasts flying through the sky, all life forms in their path would be killed by their Deity level aura.
Unlike the sea monsters on the continent, the sea monsters didn't care about life at all. It might have something to do with the environment of the sea.
Every divine-class sea beast ruled over a sea region the size of the Central Continent. There were even some that were larger than that. The divine-class sea beasts could decide the life and death of all life within the sea region.
Because of this, the divine-level sea beasts had long since disregarded the right of ordinary life forms to live. In every war between sea beasts, countless ordinary sea beasts would die every time.
The number of Deity level sea beasts had reached 200. Everyone's eyes were filled with shock.
The dragons and the wizard union didn't know that their neighbors were this powerful.
Although they knew the sea monsters were powerful, they were scattered all over the ocean. They couldn't be seen under normal circumstances.
Some of the wizards began to look away. If it weren't for the world energy in their souls, they would've run away already.
They all knew that Abel was an elder of the dragons. If they were to abandon the dragons and run away alone, the consequences would be dire.
However, they had already lost their will to fight. The only thing that kept them going was their respect for Abel.
"Elder Eugene, take Kinlung Kemble, Gold Dragon Ashuril, Blue Dragon Hurley, Blue Dragon Maria, Balfour, Green Dragon Aveline, Black Dragon Prague, Black Dragon Kinsey … Leave this place!" The dragon god whispered a long list of names to Elder Eugene.
Each of these names was the backbone of the dragons. However, they couldn't do anything in this war. They would only increase the number of casualties.
More importantly, these giant dragons had given birth to their descendants. The hope of the dragon race needed them to continue.
The dragon god was giving the dragons a way out. He only hoped that these giant dragons and their descendants could find Abel and get Abel's protection.
