Nidhogg's memories were filled with ancient secrets.
However, what Eve was most concerned about was the reason why the World Tree was besieged …
Thinking of the first memory fragment she saw, Eve frowned slightly.
"The existence of the World Tree will lead to more and more true gods?
"The gods of faith are worried that the existence of the World Tree will continuously increase the strength of the plane creatures and eventually threaten their position, so they chose to attack the World Tree?
"This … is the truth of the Thousand Year War of Gods?"
The first reason surprised her.
However, it was understandable after thinking about it.
The normal operation of the Segers plane required suitable intelligent creatures.
And the normal operation of the Segers universe also required suitable mythical creatures.
Hella had once told her that the World Tree had indirectly created the true gods of faith and could be called the "mother" of the gods of faith.
Then, according to the previous good-natured person, in order to make the Sags Universe operate normally, under the background of the withering of the ancient gods, he might really support more creatures to become gods and replace the role of the ancient gods.
To her predecessor, perhaps the role of the true gods of faith to the entire Segers universe was like the role of the elves she created to the Segers plane.
However, the elves were secular creatures. As a mythical creature, the World Tree could perfectly control this race, but the status of the true gods of faith was not lower than hers. She could not completely control the true gods of faith.
So … as time passed, there would always be some deviation.
All living beings had desires, even if they had become true gods.
True gods who had already become gods naturally did not want to see more existences become gods and share the law and authority of this world.
Of course, this was only Eve's guess …
As for the second reason, it was similar to her earliest guess.
The World Tree's [Absorb] ability could indeed continuously increase the energy level of the entire plane, and ordinary intelligent creatures would also benefit from the increase in the plane's magic power level.
Faith came from reverence.
If the overall strength of the believers was too strong, theoretically, it was possible to threaten the gods.
However, Eve felt that this reason was still a little inappropriate after thinking about it carefully.
This was because from the various signs in history, even if the World Tree could raise the energy level of a plane, it would take a very long time.
The World Tree could only affect one plane, and this was not the only plane in the entire Universe of Segers.
It was just that the World Tree was located in the largest, oldest, and most complete Prime Material Plane in the universe.
Under such circumstances, the True Gods had the opportunity to gradually shift their believers, establish new faiths in other planes, raise more "sheep", and get rid of their dependence on the Segers Plane. There was no need to fight the World Tree to the death.
In particular, there was the risk of destroying the Segers Plane. In fact, the war of the gods a thousand years ago had indeed caused great damage to the Segers Plane.
Therefore, if one thought about it carefully, one would realize that the two reasons for the siege of the World Tree in Nigholdt's memory were not fatal. At least … they were not the reason why the gods decided to turn against the World Tree immediately.
"Something must have happened that made the gods decide to destroy the World Tree in a short period of time! For example … the former World Tree is about to advance. After advancing, it is very likely that the speed of absorption will increase rapidly, and even its own strength will be greatly improved. This made the gods feel threatened. "
Eve guessed in her heart.
Her guess was not without reason.
All signs showed that the former World Tree was a good person.
If it had not become a threat to the True Gods, no one would have done anything to it.
When it escaped from the state of near-death, it already knew that the World Tree had more than one form. Now, its form was only the primary form, and the former World Tree had been a great divine power for so long. Perhaps it was really close to a breakthrough.
As for whether it was the World Tree's body or some ability that the gods coveted …
This was ruled out by Eve long ago when she transmigrated.
Because if that was the case, even if the World Tree's body had been protected by a defensive divine spell for a thousand years, there should have been someone monitoring the World Tree's body and waiting for an opportunity.
But the fact was, Eve had been awake for so long, and no one had come to check on the World Tree's condition.
Of course, it could not be ruled out that it had not been long since its recovery, and the True Gods' concept of time was different from that of ordinary creatures …
But … these were still guesses.
But at least, according to Nigelhold's memory and Oulleur's words, Eve also knew that her current situation was not good.
"No matter the reason, the gods' determination to destroy the World Tree is certain."
"It's not appropriate to just wear Hella's disguise. I have to find a suitable identity to stand in front of the stage."
"With the increase in the number of players and the expansion of the range of activities, their existence will definitely not be hidden for long."
"And the appearance of a large number of elves, as well as the reappearance of the priesthood of life and nature, still makes it easy for others to associate it with the World Tree."
"I have to think of a way to completely disassociate myself from the World Tree. It's best to even eliminate the risk of my body being discovered, and then give the players a reasonable identity …"
"Judging from the attitude of the God of Death Hella and the God of Winter and the Hunt, Oulleur, towards me, they can still distinguish the difference between me and my predecessor. Maybe … I can start from this aspect."
"I have to do these things as soon as possible. The bigger the commotion I cause in the world of Segers, the greater the risk of being discovered."
Gradually, some ideas came to Eve's mind.
After having an idea in mind, Eve focused her attention on the large "Merril" in the giant cocoon.
"I didn't expect … Merril was actually formed from Nidhogg's dragon crystal and part of his flesh and blood, combined with the life origin of the World Tree. No wonder I felt an inexplicable sense of intimacy when I first saw it, and subconsciously wanted to take it as my dependent."
Thinking of some of the images in Nidhogg's memory, Eve had a slight realization.
The life origin had the effect of enlightenment, and when it went out of control, it fused with Nidhogg's dragon crystal and part of his flesh and blood, and finally turned into a new dragon egg, giving birth to a new life. This was a very normal thing.
In other words, Merril was an existence closer to Nidhogg than his blood relatives. No wonder their souls were attracted to each other.
This also explained why the Little Black Dragon, although not yet an adult, was comparable to an adult Black Dragon, and its strength was far beyond that of a Megalosaurus of the same age.
Its origin was not simple to begin with. It was a piece of flesh that fell from Nidhogg's body and became a spirit, and it was the most essential piece.
As for the silver dragon in Nidhogg's memory that attacked him …
Eve found relevant information from the inheritance of the World Tree. It was an ancient dragon god, and its strength was not much different from Nidhogg's. It was Nidhogg's old enemy.
He had a nice name:
Platinum Dragon King — Reinhardt.
