A platinum radiance bloomed on the Sword of Damocles and turned into a dazzling sword light.
The sword light flashed and sank into the roots of the World Tree. To be more precise, it sank into the place where the roots were entangled with the crust of the Segers Plane …
Terrifying waves of divine power rippled out and dispersed into the void.
If that powerful force appeared on the surface, it was enough to set off a world-destroying disaster. Even underground, it still caused earthquake-like tremors. Even the surface more than ten thousand meters away could feel it …
In the Elf Forest on the surface.
The sensitive magical beasts escaped from their nests and growled uneasily. Flocks of birds were startled in the sky.
In the City of Heaven's Chosen.
The players looked at the swaying trees and felt a little dizzy.
"What's going on? Earthquake? "
"It can't be? There can be earthquakes in the game? "
In the Demon God's Labyrinth.
The palace shook slightly. Azazel, who was "teasing" the players, turned serious and cast his gaze underground.
His expression gradually became solemn.
"Yuktrasir, what … are you doing?"
The tremors lasted for ten seconds before slowly disappearing …
Eve, who was at the roots, also lowered the Sword of Damocles in her hand.
In front of her, the roots of the World Tree and the crust of the Segers Plane were not damaged. It was as if nothing had happened.
In this regard, Eve's expression was quite calm, as if she had already expected this.
She closed her eyes and sensed for a while before slowly opening her eyes.
"If I rely on a True God's incarnation to slash with all my strength, I can achieve about 1% progress …"
"It seems that my main body and the origin of the World of Segers are really closely connected."
Eve shook her head slightly.
That's right.
The origin connection between the World Tree's main body and the World of Segers …
The object that Eve had just slashed was not the roots of the World Tree, but the "connection" between the roots and the World of Segers.
This was not a connection in the real sense, but a connection between origins that surpassed reality and belonged to a higher dimension.
And this was what Eve wanted to sever.
The World Tree had been rooted in the World of Segers for who knew how many years. During this long period of time, the World Tree's origin had already formed some kind of close connection with the plane's origin, achieving a state close to symbiosis.
Because of this, after the World Tree fell, the origin of the entire Plane of Segers would be close to collapse.
This was not only because of the aftermath of the battle between the gods, but also because the origin of the World of Segers was affected by the World Tree.
At the same time, this was the biggest obstacle preventing Eve from moving her main body out of the Plane of Segers.
Physically moving it away was easy. It was just a tree, and it wasn't like Eve hadn't transplanted saplings in her previous life.
Now that she had the Reversal Door and the Planar Star Map, it wasn't impossible for Eve to "move" if she really wanted to.
However, the connection between origins was very troublesome.
In a state where the origin had not been severed, if Eve forcefully left, not only would the origin of the Plane of Segers be heavily damaged again, but it might also directly affect her main body and damage her own origin.
If that happened, she would fall in rank or directly ascend to the heavens.
If one were to talk about the benefits of this connection between Origin Sources …
Eve had studied it carefully, and the result of her research was that other than connecting the World Tree to the plane, it only slightly strengthened the effect of [Absorb] and the effect of [Absorb] on the World of Segers' origin.
Of course, this could also be because the World Tree's origin and the World of Segers' origin had not completely merged.
If they merged completely, there might be other changes.
"The previous World Tree might have taken this path. With the Abyss in front, I can more or less guess the result of the fusion. At that time … the World Tree should have become the Master of the Plane, and it's very likely that it'll be a more stable Master of the Plane than the True God's imprint left in the origin space. At that time, the plane might even be close to a divine kingdom …
"Becoming the Master of the Plane of Segers and being able to increase the power of the plane. From what we know, this is the truth behind the previous World Tree being besieged by the larger Human God System and War God System …
"Perhaps there are some other secrets, but at least that's what it looks like for now.
"The gods suppressed the new Pantheon in the origin space of the World of Segers probably to prevent mythical beings from merging with the origin and becoming the master of the World of Segers."
Eve looked at the root area and pondered.
Eve had nothing to say about the previous World Tree's choice.
However, if the previous World Tree had really succeeded, there probably would not have been any subsequent attacks. After all, the World of Segers was the base of the gods' faith.
Of course, the previous World Tree's goal in merging with the origin was definitely not this. In Eve's opinion, that benevolent being was more likely to better manage the World of Segers and benefit all living beings.
After all, that was what he had always done.
However, for Eve, this path of merging with the origin had been blocked by the new Pantheon where the Eternal Lord suppressed the origin.
It was fine if she left the origin, and it would not cause a reaction from the Pantheon. However, if she wanted to go deep into the origin space of the World of Segers and continue the fusion … it would cause turbulence and expose herself.
Even if Eve could continue, most of the gods now had believers in other planes. If they really fought again, it was unknown if the gods would be willing to sacrifice the World of Segers to destroy the World Tree.
After all, the World Tree could not only increase the power of the plane in the World of Segers. Wherever she was, there would be benefits.
In another plane, as long as there was a World Tree, the potential of the intelligent beings in the plane would still be terrifying. It was still possible to give birth to beings that could make the gods tremble.
Of course, by then, the World Tree's power would definitely be even more terrifying.
This was a dead end, unless the opposing gods changed their minds.
However, was that possible?
The power of faith was a shortcut, but also a shackle.
For the two great pantheons who had already enjoyed the taste of power, Eve did not think they would be willing to see a stronger being above them.
After pondering for a moment, Eve put away the Sword of Damocles.
"The attempt was effective. With this divine sword, I can indeed complete the separation of the origin from the World of Segers in a hidden state.
"From today onwards, I'll slash once every day. The power can be reduced a little, to the point where the surface can't sense it. Within a year, the origin will be completely separated from the World of Segers.
"As long as it's separated, I'll be able to attack and defend. It can be considered as leaving a way out for myself."
Eve pondered in her heart.
Then, her figure flashed, and she left the underground, returning to her divine kingdom.
Not long after Eve returned, she sensed a large number of sacrifices from the players.
Of course, now that the game system had been perfected, Eve no longer needed to personally accept sacrifices.
But out of curiosity, she still took a look at what the players were sacrificing.
Just one look, and Eve's expression instantly became strange.
They were some miscellaneous fellows, and many of them looked familiar, especially some tattered demon equipment. They were the unlucky demon monarchs that Eve had sealed in the core tomb of the Titan ruins.
In addition, she even saw several boxes of gold coins and gems that had been sacrificed untouched.
"Now they're so rich that they don't even care about gold coins and gems?"
Eve muttered. Then, with the help of the game system, she glanced at the sacrificial party. As expected, it was the All-Stars Raid Team.
Of course, it wasn't just the First Raid Team that the All-Stars Ah Can was in. Almost all of the upper echelons of the guild had been dispatched. There were hundreds of Silver players.
"Unknowingly, there are so many Silver players in the All-Stars. If it were four years ago, just the number of Silver players alone would be enough to crush all the Half-Orcs except for the Gold professionals."
Eve sighed slightly.
Since they had received these sacrifices, it meant that the Titan ruins had been plundered by the players.
Of course, there were definitely many monsters in the depths. Before they were completely cleared, there would definitely be players who would continue to explore.
"Since that's the case, we might as well let Azazel continue to throw demons with Titan blood into the ruins in the future and make it a relatively stable dungeon. Hmm … Not bad, we can build a sacrificial circle and let him throw the demons in. Then, the elemental fairies in the divine kingdom will send the demons into the Titan ruins …"
Eve muttered.
As she spoke, she couldn't help but chuckle.
"Demons are awesome. They're practically a versatile monster template. They solve many of my problems and can even provide me with energy."
Thinking of this, Eve summoned the Fairy Queen, Fennel.
"Fennel, go to the Demon God's Labyrinth and tell Azazel that he has one more task in the future."
"From now on, send demons with Titan blood into the Titan ruins on a regular basis every day. The demons will be chosen by him and sacrificed to the divine kingdom. Then, you will throw the demons into the ruins."
"As you wish, Your Majesty the Great Goddess!"
Fennel said respectfully.
After receiving Eve's orders, Fennel left.
Eve continued to sit on her throne and took out the Book of Titan again.
She wasn't worried about the outcome of the negotiation.
With PTSD in front of him, the pitiful Lord Demon God had no choice but to obediently listen to the players.
Anyway, he wasn't busy now. He wasn't one of the 13 Demon Monarchs in "007."
He would continue to contribute to enriching the game's content.
With a flash of light, Eve opened the Book of Titan, and the map of the world of Segers appeared in the air again.
Looking at the bright and dark light spots in the air, Eve was deep in thought.
"After exploring this Titan ruin, there's another one in the west of the Elf Forest. Looking at the coordinates, it's very likely near one of the seven major Elf cities, the coastal city of Milovia (see Chapter 266 for details).
"However, this light spot has already dimmed. It should have been explored, and there's probably nothing precious left. But it's still fine as a small dungeon for players. In the future, I can also let Azazel throw in demons …
"There's a Titan ruin in the Death Desert. The light has also dimmed. It's very likely that Oulleur obtained the Heart of Withering from there … Hmm, this ruin can also be treated similarly and turned into a dungeon.
"There's another bright coordinate on the Fertile Plains, and it's still within the Maple Leaf territory. Hmm … The coordinates seem to be very close to Maple Leaf City. This isn't easy to investigate.
"However, I can try to use my avatar to sneak in personally.
"I'll still use the same method as the Titan ruin. Let the players explore first. After all, that's the territory of the Eternal Lord. After the big mess last time, the Eternal Church will definitely be vigilant. It's never wrong to be careful.
"I can choose some high-level players and release exploration missions in the form of hidden missions …"
"The light spots in other places … can only be on the other side of the continent. It's said that there are a few ancient gods sleeping there. I wonder if they've woken up at this time …"
After confirming the recent exploration mission, Eve closed the Book of Titan again.
There was less than a year until the War of Gods and Devils. During this time, she had to improve her strength as much as possible.
After pondering for a moment, Eve changed into a comfortable sitting position, crossed one leg over the other, and then brought out the game sandbox.
It was still the same three-dimensional game sandbox, showing the areas including the Elven Forest, the Underdark, the Gloom Mountains, the Death Desert, and part of the Fertile Plains.
Hundreds of thousands of blue light spots flashed on the three-dimensional sandbox, and their distribution could be clearly seen. Half of them were in the Elven Forest, and the other half were in other areas. The places where they were concentrated were either the locations of the main cities or the locations of the dungeons.
These were the light spots that represented the players.
Among them, there were more than 4,000 silver players. In just the two days of the open beta, there had been an increase of nearly 800 players.
At the same time, almost every few minutes, there would be new Black Iron players who succeeded in changing their class.
This was because Eve had opened up the drop rate of the Silver Class Advancement slots in the special prize pool, and it had brought about an explosion of silver players.
"There are still 6,000 players to reach 10,000 silver players. If there are 300 players a day, 20 days will be enough. It can be done in a month."
"After 10,000 players, I can consider opening up the mid-Silver-level slots for some high-level players. They can still be released in the form of 'scrolls.' Let's call them 'Silver Promotion Slots'!"
"Don't be too hasty in leveling up. Otherwise, the surrounding forces will notice. The Elves are already conspicuous enough, so I have to be careful."
"Fortunately, the number of silver players in various races has been increasing recently. This can cover up the abnormalities in the Elven Forest to a certain extent."
After confirming the direction of the players' development, Eve took down the sandbox.
On the other side, the Fairy Queen, Fennel, had also arrived at the core palace of the Demon God's Maze.
"What?! That Yuktrasir guy wants me to continue looking for demons with Titan's bloodline?! What does he think I am?! "
Azazel said angrily after hearing the Fairy Queen's words.
Fennel wasn't angry at the Demon God who was angrily rebuking the Goddess.
She glanced at Azazel and said, "This is the will of the Goddess.
"This is an oracle from the goddess. Are you not willing to do it? If you're not willing, I'll report back to Her Holiness. "
Azazel was slightly stunned after hearing her words.
The Seventh Demon God seemed to have thought of something and shivered coldly.
He was silent for a moment, then sighed.
"I understand."
After receiving the Demon God's reply, Fennel left behind a sacrificial magic circle and left the palace.
Azazel stared blankly at the scene of the players fighting the demons in the crystal ball in front of him. He suddenly felt that teasing these retarded long ears wasn't so fun anymore …
"What the hell am I doing?"
He muttered to himself.
