Most people didn't know who was in the World Tree. In any case, if there was a tree tall enough to shelter a city, it had to be the Wood Elves' most treasured tree.
Most people's understanding of the World Tree was that it was full of treasures. Leaves, branches, sap, fruits, all of them were rare magic materials. They didn't know that the World Tree wasn't an accessory of the Wood Elves, but the core and decision maker of the tribe. The infamous Turtledove Alliance's high seat was a plant that few people had the chance to see with their own eyes.
The fact that a World Tree could be projected to another place was something that no one had ever imagined. But the huge shadow of the tree was only shocking at first glance. The Mages didn't feel anything strange because of this. Instead, they were troubled by the shackles imposed by the eight Lords of Power before the World Tree's projection appeared.
When the second, third, and even many World Trees appeared, even the slowest person would know that something big was going to happen. The war between the Wood Elves could be said to be a part of the history of the maze. Everyone knew that the advancement of the World Tree was built on the ashes of another World Tree. But what did the gathering of the World Tree's projections mean?
In particular, when the branches of the World Forest shook, the entire maze shook. This allowed the Mages of the Holy City of Estali to truly experience the power of the World Tree.
At the center of the incident, when the Dark Elf Malcolm jumped into the Black Tortoise's body, the chaotic energy that was about to break through the Black Tortoise's semi-virtual body was suppressed when the World Tree appeared. Even the restless Black Tortoise returned to its original position.
It raised its head, its neck thickening from bottom to top, as if it was about to push something out. Then, with a spit, the Dark Elf was expelled from its body like a foreign object.
Seeing this, the two girls hurriedly went forward to help the person who had been spat out. Apart from helping her, they also wanted to get first-hand information from Malcolm about what was going on inside the Giant Aberration's body. Unfortunately, not only was the Dark Elf unconscious, her life was hanging by a thread, and she wasn't far from death. Even though she had been trained for a long time and was one of the best in the tribe, she couldn't bear being attacked by the highly concentrated and chaotic powers of the eight Lords of Power.
Just as the two girls were about to make any rash moves, the scene in front of them changed again. The shadows of many giant trees covered all the visible sky. Some were close to each other, some were overlapping. Just the dense arrangement of the tree trunks made it impossible to see the vast canopy above.
At this time, the chaotic colors in the Black Tortoise's body gradually faded. Observing its movements, one would notice that Authority Energy was being continuously absorbed somewhere. At the center of the absorption, the figure of a certain man slowly appeared.
Klein's brows furrowed for a moment, but he soon loosened them. In his vision, the authority that was assimilating the Outer God in front of him was completely absorbed by the man. Thus, the assimilation process stopped and gradually returned to its most primitive form. However, to be able to absorb all of this excess Authority, what changes had happened to that man made Him curious and excited.
When the sound of a horn seemed to reverberate in his ears, melodious and continuous, Klein realized what the change in front of him meant. Igniting the Divine Fire and forging the Divine Spark, there would be a new chair on the throne of the Gods.
Klein was not the only one who noticed this. Fen also noticed it. Most of the senior mages in the Holy City of Estali noticed it.
In the nearly a thousand years after the end of the Dark Age, such things were not rare. After all, all the gods now were heroes or powerhouses of the past who had ignited the Divine Fire and taken the final step to reach the peak of the world. Even so, it did not mean that everyone could calmly accept this fact.
Everyone could sense the direction of the situation. Everyone had some guesses as to who the situation was. Most people found it hard to believe. However, looking at the countless projections of the World Tree, everyone understood.
With the help of external forces to ignite the Divine Fire, one would eventually be controlled by external forces. This was the difference between a 'God' and a 'Subordinate God'. The relationship between the two was not so easy to break. When the stronger party was the World Tree, everyone could not figure out how to settle this score.
Among the countless emotions of envy, jealousy, and hatred, only Fen felt confused.
She had once touched that realm, but in the end, she chose a different path. Then, as if she had walked into a dead end, she lost the possibility of moving forward.
Now, with the help of that man, the seemingly severed path seemed to be clear again. However, Fen knew very well that the man was not ready to move forward or choose. Before today, he had never even thought about something of this level.
However, in the despair and the despair that seemed to be hope, it was not that there was no real hope. Although that man often said that if faith could solve problems, there was nothing in the world that could not be solved. However, the reality of the land of mystery was that if one had strong enough faith, they could really solve everything. If it could not be solved, then it meant that the faith was not strong enough.
The Lord of Guardians, Apopros, was unreasonable. It was not just that he was favored by the land of mystery. It was more because of his stubbornness that made others feel despair, as well as his persistence after he had chosen a direction and never retreated.
Then, could that man find where his faith lay and walk his own path? Fen was somewhat expectant … and also somewhat lonely.
Gods could not walk freely in the land of mystery. It was a protective measure. However, it was not to protect the creatures living in the land of mystery, but to protect the land of mystery itself.
It was like a strong enough magnet walking on the beach. In the end, it would attract all the magnetic substances to its body and destroy the original state of the beach. Gods were magnets with infinite power. If they were allowed to move freely, it would only destroy the balance of the land of mystery.
This meant that when he stepped onto that level, the land of mystery could not accommodate him. Fen hated the way of living that only had one emotion as the core. Therefore, no matter what, she would not choose to walk that path. Then, the two of them would eventually be separated.
So, should she stop him?
Let's not talk about how to interrupt this process first. Fen felt that this was not her decision to make. If it were not for the fact that she was worried that there might be a sudden situation, she even wanted to turn around and leave.
Seeing that the man's divinity was being forged faster and faster, the shadow of the Black Tortoise that had been protecting him was almost absorbed and was about to disappear. The sound of the Gospel Horn was also getting clearer and clearer. Some people turned around angrily and went about their own business, ignoring the outside world. Some people were happy. They did not expect to be able to witness the birth of a god in their lifetime.
The Gospel Horn was actually an abnormal phenomenon caused by a large amount of authority being concentrated in a certain place. Just like how a large amount of air flowed rapidly, bringing about the sound of the wind, authority had a similar situation. It was just that this "sound" could not be heard. It would just make people think that he had "heard" it.
In Klein's eyes, before he took action, he had many speculations about the outcome. The possibility of death was the majority, and disability was the remaining part. The rest of the situation was just a casual joke. However, to become a god through the punishment of the eight Lords of Authority was an outcome that he had never thought of. Because it was something impossible.
However, looking at the shadows of the 21 World Trees, it did not seem that difficult.
Mortals did not know the power of the World Trees. They only saw them as treasures like iron and copper mines. How could the gods not know?
Thinking about it, from the past until now, how many gods and demons had planned to go to the territory of the World Trees to take advantage of them, only to be beaten into a pulp and resurrected in their own God Kingdom or Abyss. Although he was not so miserable that he needed to be resurrected, he had been recuperating for a long time. In other people's territory, the power of the World Trees was unbeatable. The power of the gods was suppressed unless they used the power of another World Tree to fight against it.
If there was a flaw in the World Trees, it would be that they were missing two legs and could not run around. Even if they could use projections to appear in any corner of the maze. However, Klein knew very well how fragile such projections were. But now, it seemed that they were not completely useless.
It was just that Klein could only vaguely sense how the World Trees had helped that man forge the divine personality and ignite the divine fire. However, he still wanted to know. Moreover, why did all the World Trees in the maze come to help that man? This was something that the Lord of Mystery, who was known for his curiosity, naturally wanted to know.
Although he was always concerned about this man, he always had a way to block his sight. In a situation like today, with the cover of the twenty-one World Trees, if he were still in his God's Kingdom, he would not be able to see what was happening here. Only by standing here in the form of a Saint and watching with his own eyes could he see the whole story clearly.
However, when he really stood here, he realized that there were still secrets about that man that he could not see through. Klein became even more curious.
However, most people were still like the two anxious girls present. They only knew that something big had happened, but they did not know what exactly had happened. However, it should be a good thing to be able to see his teacher again. The two of them who were holding each other's hands seemed to be comforting each other's impulse to rush forward.
When the long sound of the gospel horn also reached the ears of the two girls who were of low strength, the people in the maze all understood that another new god had been born!
Fen looked at the man who was floating upright in the air with a complicated expression. His limbs were hanging naturally, and his eyes were still closed.
The next moment, a golden light shone from Lin's neck. With him as the center, a circle of power impact spread out. This circle of impact did not cause any substantial damage, but it exploded in a city of mages, which was shocking.
At the same time, the sound of glass breaking could be heard. It was crisp and gave people a feeling of sadness. Everyone had the same thought: the apotheosis had failed.
Lin fell heavily to the ground like a doll with a broken string. In addition to the two girls who rushed forward to help, there was also the newly joined Leonardo. Perhaps his feelings for this teacher were not deep enough, but he still understood that his current life depended on this person's support. Logically speaking, he hoped that nothing bad would happen to this new teacher of his.
Fen's expression was also complicated. Biting her lips, she finally spat out two words: "Stupid!" In contrast, Klein's eyes were shining as he said: "Interesting!"
