Søren was actually very conflicted.
Because if the Goddess of Magic didn't die, some things in his memory would change. In other words, Søren lost part of his ability to foresee the future, and it might not be as easy to grasp the future as it was now. If the Goddess of Magic didn't die, some of the events in Søren's memory might not happen, and the butterfly effect would affect the entire Avatar Crisis. Even he didn't know what the future would be like.
This was tantamount to letting Søren lose a powerful cheat!
But.
If the Goddess of Magic died, the price would be too heavy.
When the Goddess of Magic died, the material plane really collapsed. It was not an exaggeration to say that corpses were everywhere. The entire material plane lost 90% of its population by the end of the Avatar Crisis, and at least hundreds of millions of people should have died. The devils of the Baator Inferno, the demons of the Abyss, the demons of the Shuraba and the Scorching Inferno, the Avatar Crisis had riddled the whole world with holes from the beginning. Many powerful spellcasters had died in the hands of the enemy before they had time to adapt to the world without the Magic Net. In the end, even the gods were not spared from the accumulated contradictions and hatred. And the huge number of souls plundered by the devils and demons in this catastrophe had a profound impact on the future.
In short.
If the Goddess of Magic didn't die, the disaster of the Avatar Crisis would be reduced, but the future would change. Søren would lose the ability to foresee the future.
The Goddess of Magic fell, and the Avatar Crisis broke out as normal. The material plane was instantly riddled with holes, and Søren was powerless to reverse the situation. He could only hold on until the end of the Avatar Crisis, but he had the advantage of foresight.
This was a question of whether to change history or not!
If Søren succeeded in saving the Goddess of Magic, although he lost the ability to foresee the future, he would have a close ally with a [Greater Divine Power].
One of the most powerful gods in the multiverse, the Goddess of Magic would be on the same side as him!
…
It was late at night.
From outside the town, there was a barking sound from time to time. Although the soldiers of the patrol were very tired, they were still vigilant. The situation of the human race had become more and more difficult. It was not only the human race, but many other races were also in a difficult situation. It was said that some dwarven cities had been completely sealed off. Other than the necessary trade, no one was allowed to enter. War had destroyed everything. Wise lords would be loved by the people, while incompetent nobles could face riots from the civilians at any time.
The Goddess of Magic stayed in Søren's room for a long time.
It wasn't until dawn that she finally came out of Søren's room. She seemed to be quite relaxed. It seemed like she had a pleasant conversation with Søren.
After sending off the Goddess of Magic, Søren's expression was rather solemn.
To be honest, the Goddess of Magic was surprisingly easy to get along with. She wasn't pedantic like the gods of the good alignment, and communicating with her could cut straight to the point of interests.
Perhaps it was to fuse with the Shadow Weave.
The Goddess of Magic's alignment had changed to neutral, and the conflict with Søren's alignment had become much smaller.
To be honest, Søren didn't have much confidence in saving the Goddess of Magic, but he felt that he had to give it a try. Even if the future might be changed because of this, he would lose some of his advantages of foresight. Even if the Goddess of Magic fell a little later, it would allow the spellcasters to resist the first wave of the Avatar Crisis, which was a blessing for the entire material plane.
The Weave limited the power of mortals, but it also helped the mediocre to master the power.
It was really difficult to explain the good and bad of the Weave in a few words. At least as long as the Weave still existed, Søren could use it to give his believers divine spells, which greatly reduced the burden of the divine mode. If the Weave completely collapsed, Søren would have to give up about half of the priests, because just giving out divine spells every day consumed most of his energy. The Weave could really be understood as a supernetwork in the interstellar era. As long as it existed, the gods could use its power to complete the distribution of divine spells.
Ildis got up very early.
Early in the morning, he went down to instruct the owner of the inn to prepare an exquisite breakfast, and then personally delivered it to the door of the Goddess of Magic. He was familiar with this kind of courtship. Although he was the only mortal in the group and neither knew the identity of Søren nor the identity of the Goddess of Magic, at least he knew that Midnight was a powerful witch, and a little guidance could help him improve his strength.
When Søren came downstairs, he saw him surrounding the Goddess of Magic and asking about her well-being.
To be honest.
This guy should be quite good at dealing with women. Looking at his posture, it was absolutely impossible for him to do it if he wasn't a veteran in the field of love. Unfortunately, the Goddess of Magic was more concerned about her own fate now, and the gods didn't like the things of the mortal world, so his meticulous care and flattery didn't seem to be very effective.
"Mage Sony."
Ildis obviously restrained himself a little after seeing him come down, but his eyes were still very eager when he looked at the Goddess of Magic. Just a few casual words from the other party made him feel that his understanding of the Weave was more thorough, and there were faint signs of touching the depths of the Weave. It had to be said that the legendary witch had a deep understanding of the structure of the Weave. If she hadn't said some things, Ildis felt that it would have taken him more than ten years to figure it out.
He walked to Søren's side and seemed a little embarrassed. "The Midnight Lady has a very important thing to do."
"I think maybe we should put the matter of looking for the Mage's Staff aside first. After helping the Midnight Lady with her important matter, how about we go to that place?"
Ildis' attitude was very sincere.
It was as if the Midnight Lady's matter was more important, and their matter could be put aside first. Even if it was a legendary artifact like the Mage's Staff, in order to help the Midnight Lady solve her problem, they could temporarily put it aside.
To be honest, this guy's acting was really good.
If it wasn't for the fact that the Goddess of Magic had come to visit him last night, he would have gained a lot of favorability from what he had just said.
After all, the Goddess was also a woman.
This guy expressed such an attitude, whether it was true or not, it was easy to get a lot of bonus points.
Søren nodded silently.
This was originally part of the plan, but in front of Ildis, he still needed to pretend that he didn't know anything about the Goddess of Magic. Even when the two met, they just nodded slightly as a greeting.
"Thank you very much."
Ildis's attitude was very good. After getting Søren's permission, he immediately walked to the Midnight Lady next to him.
In the morning.
The group moved towards the forest in the south. The Goddess of Magic's destination was actually the legendary Misty Forest. Søren had been here several times, but he didn't know why the Goddess of Magic was here.
"Let's go to the temple of the Oak Father first."
As if sensing the confusion of the two people next to her, the Midnight Lady whispered, "There's something very important to me there. I have to take it out first."
The Oak Father?
Soran was fine when he heard the name, but Ildis was a little puzzled.
After all, he was still too young.
As an ordinary person, Ildis might be unfamiliar with the name of the Oak Father because this god with great divine power had fallen a long time ago.
Søren, however, remembered this god.
He even remembered his name — [Savior] Silvanus.
The Oak Father — Silvanus [Great Divine Power]!
One of the ancient gods of nature, one of the most powerful gods in the multiverse. He was respectfully called the Oak Father, Forest Father, Tree Father, Nature Father, and so on.
This was a mighty deity!
And also a benevolent elder!
In this world where gods coexisted, there weren't many gods that could receive such high praise from Søren. The Oak Father should be one of the few.
His body was a giant tree.
Silvanus was a wise god like a loving father. For a long time, he had been working to maintain the balance of nature. Although people loved Mother Earth more and her relatively gentle teachings, the Oak Father's huge influence had always shrouded every place in the material plane.
Such a powerful god shouldn't have fallen under normal circumstances.
There were many mysteries about the fall of the Oak Father. Perhaps even the gods didn't know much about it. But one thing was for sure, the Oak Father did fall in order to save the world.
This disaster was related to the fall of the Arcane Empire!
The powerful Arcane Empire finally met its destruction. The gods were active in this terrible disaster. Until now, no one could determine the real reason for the destruction of the Arcane Empire. But the tragic end of the Arcane Empire had a profound impact on the entire multiverse.
It was like the end of the Avatar Crisis, but the balance between the upper and lower planes was broken.
The destruction of the Arcane Empire brought about the destruction of the entire material plane. The terrible energy radiation covered the sky and the earth. The explosion was more terrible than a nuclear bomb and directly split the continental shelf. Just look at the terrible desert of the Eastern Kingdom. It was obvious how terrible this disaster was.
In fact!
At the same time when the Arcane Empire was destroyed, the end of the world had come.
Nature was gradually dying.
The entire material plane was becoming desertified at an alarming speed. The terrible energy radiation had eroded everything. Not only did it cause the death of a large number of races, but even the plants in nature were not spared.
The end was coming.
Even the gods couldn't stop all this because the entire plane had been eroded. The material plane could completely die at any time, leaving no trace of life.
At this time.
The Oak Father stood up and left only one sentence, "Balance is my mission."
Then he turned into a huge tree of life. At that time, the desertification had already covered the center of the material plane, which was now the Eastern Kingdom. Two-thirds of the land of the Eastern Kingdom had been completely desertified. There was no trace of life. The Oak Father turned into a giant tree and at this moment, he assimilated with the whole of nature. He abandoned his body and power as a god and decided to stop this disaster in a more tragic way.
Father of the Oak Tree had fallen.
But nature survived. The terrible disaster of the Arcane Empire's destruction only turned two-thirds of the land of the Eastern Kingdom into desertification. There was still a lot of land in the material plane that was suitable for life.
It was also from that time that the Druil sect split.
The figures of the Tree Shepherds had been active in the desert for thousands of years. They worked hard to build oases one after another. In order to show their respect for the Tree Shepherds, the people in the desert would even kiss the land they walked on. Because of this, the Tree Shepherds fell into a deep sleep that lasted for dozens of centuries. It was almost impossible to see traces of their activities.
These Tree Shepherds were Druil followers that once served the Oak Father.
They had been fulfilling the last mission of the Oak Father, which was to balance and restore the whole of nature. This mission had nothing to do with any race. Whether it was humans, elves, or dwarves, as long as anyone affected this mission, they would be the enemy of the Druil. Their biggest wish was to transform the huge desert that occupied two-thirds of the land of the Eastern Kingdom into an oasis. They thought that if they could restore the vitality of the land, they could revive the Oak Father.
Unfortunately, for thousands of years, they had only achieved less than one percent of their goal.
As time passed, the Father of the Oak Tree was gradually forgotten by the world. However, there were still some creatures that maintained their faith in the Father of the Oak Tree. Many druids believed that the Father of the Oak Tree was not completely dead and hoped to revive him through some means.
Was the Oak Father dead or not?
Søren didn't know, but he knew that the remaining temples that served the Oak Father were in the deepest part of the forest. There was still a powerful divine power shrouding them.
Perhaps this ancient deity still existed in another form.
