In the end, the Maze World was a world where strength reigned supreme. Pursuing the neutral path of nature did not mean that they would give up on the pursuit of strength. In order to protect the neutral position, they had to be more powerful. Only then could they deal with the pressure from both good and evil.
This was because those who insisted on opposing sides only had companions and enemies in their eyes. They would not allow anyone to stay out of it. In other words, they would actively try to get such people to join their side, whether through threats or enticement.
The wood elves were no stranger to leaving the cruel world under the protection of the World Tree. No one was willing to stay under the protection of the World Tree for the rest of their lives. But other than those who lost their lives outside, no one would not return. Thus, the strength of the World Tree was the common pursuit of all the wood elves. After all, this was their home. It was enough to resist the pressure of the outside world and protect themselves.
The advancement of the World Tree was something that none of the wood elves dared to imagine. This was something that had never happened since the Magic Towers covered the Maze World and the war between the World Trees had been forced to stop.
Just as Lin Jie had guessed, the advancement of the World Tree was the growth of its trunk toward a higher dimension. The energy required to break through the dimensional quadrant was enormous, and the disturbance it caused could not be small.
On the day that the World Tree was supposed to break through the quadrant. From the start of preparations, a low rumbling sound could be heard within the range of the World Tree ridge. When the Wood Elves noticed that the source of the disturbance was their tribe's Holy Land, the location of the World Tree, they immediately gathered here.
This was because Wadewo had advanced a thousand years ago during the Dark Era. The situation at that time was passed down by word of mouth. The elders among the wood elves had heard their elders talk about it when they were young. The low roar that sounded like a furious dragon baring its claws and fangs, as well as the earth-shattering scene that followed.
Everything before them was like the prelude to a scene that their ancestors had told them would never happen again. But was it possible?
The Lord of the Forest was nowhere to be found. Only two mages from the human world were standing under the World Tree and looking up. Some of the more radical wood elves did not even ask anything. They planned to capture the two mages and ask them what had happened.
However, in their eyes, what should have been an easy task was something they could never accomplish. His legs could easily run in the forest, jump over cliffs and small streams, and he was no different from his usual self. But no matter how they ran, the distance between them did not decrease.
Was this an illusion? Or a magic trap?
The wood elves, who realized that they were in some sort of predicament, started shouting frantically. However, the two people who were standing not far away from him, whom he could not get close to or touch, seemed to have not heard him and maintained their original posture.
Suddenly, the low humming stopped. Everyone felt as if they were being pulled by countless people. They couldn't even stand properly. Their hands and feet were wobbling. Some people even floated up and floated in the air. They could only move their limbs as if they were swimming, but they couldn't move at all.
All the branches of the World Tree began to sway, and even the hanging aerial roots trembled. A series of noisy rustling noises could be heard. The originally calm rumbling began again, and this time, it came in waves, getting louder and louder.
Just as the sound was so loud that it was about to make people cough up blood, it suddenly became quiet. It was as if the entire world had been fixed. Nothing could move, but everyone's consciousness was still very clear.
Although they couldn't move their eyeballs, everything in their field of vision was frozen. Even the wind stopped. The grass that was pressed down and the aerial roots that were blown away were all frozen in the moment before it stopped.
This moment of freezing might have been very short, but being in it felt as if they were going to spend the rest of their lives in this predicament. Everyone was caught off guard. The entire world was like a large piece of glass. Small pieces began to disintegrate, revealing the things behind the disintegrating space.
Every small piece of disintegrating space would reveal a strange world that was different from the real world. Some had the sun, some had the earth, but they were also filled with different hues. There were some things that had nothing at all, but they were filled with a myriad of colors. Some figures that shouldn't be seen or described appeared.
The most troublesome thing was that these fragments did not have a uniform pattern. Sometimes, two fragments would appear and point to the same world, but the two fragments could be separated by a considerable distance. Most of the time, there were completely unrelated scenes that were forcefully pieced together.
Moreover, even with the strength of the wood elves gathered here, they couldn't help but be invaded by a crazy thought as they stared at these things that shouldn't have appeared in the world. At this moment when they needed help the most, the divine power that should have been protecting their hearts didn't respond no matter how they called out. This made the only thing they could think of to resist this madness was despair.
Just as most of the wood elves were about to give up on the defense of their hearts and let the madness take control of them, an inconceivable scene occurred! The World Tree, which had already reached the sky, grew even taller. As if it had broken through the world, the crown of the tree broke through the limits of space and reached into a place that the wood elves didn't understand.
In an instant, a terrifying surge of energy swept over. The World Tree started to wither and yellow from the end, and the area covered by the ridge shrank at the same time. A terrifying crack appeared on the trunk, extending from top to bottom, as if it was going to split the tree in half.
At the same time, a cry for help sounded in the hearts of all the wood elves. It was the cry of their beloved mother, the Lord of the Forest that they worshipped, Wadwo, through their spiritual connection.
Lend the power to him … Share the energy that was about to destroy him … Just one step … Just one small step …
The wood elves of Wadwo's tribe didn't even think about it before opening up their bodies and souls, choosing to live or die with their mother.
Wadwo, who had found a way out for the energy in his body, didn't immediately release the excess energy. Instead, he used an extremely small portion of his computing power to determine the upper limit of each wood elf's endurance before throwing the uncontrollable destructive energy at them.
However, injuries were still unavoidable. Without being able to use more computing power, the wood elves who had been misjudged could only accept the fate of having their bodies explode from the excessive energy. That would be the flesh and blood of their entire body exploding out of thin air, leaving nothing behind.
But … it still wasn't enough!
The crack that ran through the trunk was originally only at the outer layer, but it was corroding inwards as the tree rings grew. The moment it reached the heart of the World Tree would be the moment of Wadwo's death.
'Looks like you need help, child.'
Demon Lord Fanny Tikal pressed her hand against the cracked tree trunk. In an instant, her beautiful skin seemed to have been hit by an impact, and turned into ashes that flew backward. However, her golden bones didn't move in the slightest, and the blue soul flames in her eye sockets pulsed.
Patterns similar to those of the World Tree spread from her palm to her entire body. An energy that was different from Authority baptized this body of bones that had a perfect ratio of eight Authorities, pushing her once again into an unknown realm.
Ever since she abandoned her human identity and transformed into a Lich, Fanny had once again surpassed the level of a Lich. The Lich of the Land of Confusion also needed a phylactery to protect her soul. However, in order to fight against the Gods, Fanny's sublimation allowed her to get rid of the weakness of her phylactery, turning her into a Lich who was no longer a Lich. At this time, she couldn't even think of how to kill herself.
Now, she was ushering in another transformation, once again impacting the foundation of her original level of life. What would become, she didn't know. However, Fanny spent some time thinking that if she let go of the influx of energy, she would be 'stuffed' to death. She would welcome true death. Would this count as fulfilling her wish? However, this thought was instantly replaced by shock.
Because of the connection between her and the energy, Fanny could 'see' the energy and its source. It was the surge of energy caused by the energy difference between the two sides after the barrier between the two worlds was broken.
If it was just a simple impact, it would be easy to deal with, but the most terrifying thing was that it was an exchange of energy between two different worlds. When different types of energy fused together, it wasn't as simple as 1 + 1 = 2. Some would destroy, some would fuse, some would add to each other, and some would change their natures. From a physical point of view, a large amount of entropy was produced, and it was impacting all individuals.
Of course, the majority of this energy surge was borne by the World Tree. However, the person who bore the second most wasn't herself, but the man who sat cross-legged on the ground when the World Tree began to break through the quadrant.
If the energy surge brought by the other dimension formed the largest vortex at the crown of the World Tree, then the second largest vortex was above Lin's head. What was connected to her was at most a relatively thick stream; what was connected to the other wood elves was even more unbearable. It was like the pipeline used for infusion when she was doing biological experiments.
In the Dream Magic Tower, the man who had been urgently pulled into the dream watched the world change. Originally, apart from the Magic Tower, there were only countless spots of light forming a starry sky. Now, there were shooting stars everywhere, flying toward the Magic Tower with tails of flames.
Lin came to the two avatars who were sweating and holding up a shield and asked, "What's going on?"
"It's not very clear. We only know that the starry sky, which was originally a defensive function, has been transformed into self-destructive energy. If we don't find a way to channel or vent it, everything here will be destroyed. Compared to it, we are too weak. "The fat avatar seemed to know the seriousness of the situation and didn't talk nonsense for once.
Lin asked again, "Then what's going on now? Isn't this our dream? We should be the ones in charge of everything. "
The chuunibyou avatar also couldn't care less about maintaining a cold image and said anxiously, "They are also part of the dream, and no matter how they change, the core won't change at all. And now, their basic energy has expanded to an uncontrollable level, and this isn't something we can change as we want. I've already lengthened the distance for them to arrive, but I can't expand the boundaries of the dream indefinitely, which means that they will arrive sooner or later. And what's worse, their energy is still expanding. If this continues, nobody knows what will happen. "
