Game of the World Tree

Chapter 328

Just now did the entire realm sink from its position?

Eves heart skipped a beat.

It was definitely not a good sign.

Having received the inheritance of the World Tree, Ev personally knew that this feeling of plummeting could only mean one thing:

The Realm of Seiges was drawing much more closer towards the endless abyss right beneath it.

Within the universe, there is a continuous process wherein the various realms spread across the cosmic void will constantly absorb cosmic energy to grow stronger

Alas, this process also has adverse effects as the realm gradually gets drawn towards the abyss at the bottom, before ultimately descending into the Abyss over time

Sinking into the abyss also meant the realms destruction.

Did the increase in mana accelerate the fall of the realm of Seiges towards the Abyss?

Thinking of this, Ev frowned.

This was really different from what she had learned from her inheritance!

In fact, according to the inheritance she had obtained, the realms ability to resist the attraction of the abyss increased depending with the amount of energy it absorbed and the level of mana concentration it amassed.

Therefore, logically speaking, the realms that amass more cosmic energy and solidify their fundamental laws are usually the ones with longer lifespans.

This was why despite it being the oldest, the realm of Seiges still remained resilient up to this day.

Just now, Seiges had absorbed so much cosmic energy, which in turn made the quantity of mana across the entire realm skyrocket like never before.

Technically speaking, this should have made Seiges far more resistant to the abysss attraction, and as such, it sinking from its position should not have occurred

Could it be that something unexpected happened outside?

With this thought, Ev steadied her mind and began to elevate her consciousness so that she could peer through the outer space beyond the crystalline wall protecting Seiges from the outside

In the past, when Ev first awakened her ability [Absorption], she instinctively elevated her consciousness and accidentally caught a glimpse of the outer space beyond the crystalline walls.

Back then, because her power was still lacking, she couldnt see much and was only able to perceive the endless void beyond the realm of Seiges.

But at this moment, with her strength now reaching the level of weak divine power, Ev found herself capable of controlling her transcendental observation more effectively than before, allowing her to adjust her perspective with greater precision.

As her perspective continued to rise, Ev soon saw her vast body, as well as the flourishing Chosen City right below it, with players scattered like sesame seeds within the city.

Her field of vision continued to ascend, and the World Tree gradually shrank, whilst the city became increasingly miniature, and the full view of the Elven Forest gradually unfolded right before her eyes

As Evs gaze wandered around, she found some hidden ruins from the depths of the forest, while further vistas revealed crumbling ruins strewn across the Dark Mountains, the eastern human territories, and the desolate expanse of the Desert of Death to the south.

This was a perspective she had never seen before, as if the entire map of the Elven Kingdom had been revealed to her in that moment.

However, just as she expected, many areas outside the Elven Forest were shrouded in mist akin to a fog of war, making it unclear for her to see these places more clearly.

These areas are situated within the sphere of influence of other gods, and as expected, their power can obstruct my prying eyes from observing them from afar.

Ev had no intention of spying around these locations to begin with, so she hastened the rise of her field of view to peer beyond the realms protective wall and ascertain what had gone wrong.

Her true body, which is the World Tree, is bound to the realm of Seiges.

As such, if Seiges really did plummet into the Abyss, then, even if she could absorb the power of the abyss, there is no guarantee that she can resist the will of the abyss after the entire realm sinks into the abyss.

It could even be said that the fate of Seiges was intertwined with hers; if this realm suffered, then she too would inevitably suffer alongside it.

As her field of vision continued to rise, Ev soon saw the entire continent, as well as a smaller continent to the south, and the boundless ocean surrounding the two landmasses.

Then, with a slight tremor, Eve felt as if her entire being passed through some kind of transparent enclosure.

Immediately right after, her consumption of divine power suddenly accelerated, signifying that she finally passed through the crystalline walls thats protecting the realm of Seiges.

Moments later, Eves perception shifted, revealing not the familiar map of Seiges, but instead a colossal amber-like bubble shimmering with captivating luster, subtly reflecting an array of magnificent colors.

This bubble was the entire realm of Seiges seen from the outside.

Moreover, around this huge bubble, Ev also noticed numerous smaller bubbles attached quite close to it.

She thought for a second and realized that these smaller bubbles were actually demi-realms of various sizes somehow linked to Seiges.

This was her first time observing Seiges from an outside perspective, and unlike the celestial bodies depicted in her previous life, the realms in this universe which were encased with crystalline walls, appeared far more mysterious and magnificent

Within Eves scope of vision, a myriad of bubbles stretched out before her, each encapsulating its own unique beauty.

The closest bubble, a vivid representation of Seiges, held her gaze, while others also dotted the outer cosmic space, hinting at the vastness of the surrounding realms, both near and far.

Ev even saw a cluster of bubbles shining with golden light in the center of the universe much further away, surrounded by both large and small bubbles emitting a sacred aura.

That region of spacewas definitely the Heavenly Realm.

After a few glances, Ev averted her gaze and focused her attention back on Seiges.

She scrutinized it for a while, but to her confusion, the realm of Seigesshowed no abnormalities at all.

On the contrary, beyond the protective crystalline walls, Eve could even sense the more potent vitality of Seiges.

Unlike the decay she initially sensed when expanding her consciousness to encompass the entire world beforehand, now Seiges was undeniably on its gradual path to recovery.

Not only that, but even without performing special calculations, Ev could already roughly sense that Seiges current rate of energy absorption had further shortened the grace period before the realms dimensional passageway finally reopened once again

Originally, she calculated that this grace period will likely took around twenty years, but now, it seemed that it would be further shortened by at least half.

My allocated time to strengthen myself had become even more pressing

Ev felt a slight tightness within her heart.

But at the same time, she also breathed a sigh of relief.

Based on her findings just now, there seemed to be no problem with the realm of Seiges.

Sothis begs the question.

What exactly made the realm sink from its prior position?

Ev looked towards the bottom of Seiges.

Therein lies a very deep darkness.

A void wherein countless broken and desolate realms, akin to phantasms in the universe, undulate consistently within its cold embrace

Occasionally, some indistinct amber-like bubbles gradually fell into them, before being engulfed and eroded by the surrounding darkness they plunged into

This void was the endless abyssthe end of all realms.

And when Ev sensed the faint attraction emanating from the endless abyss, her heart stirred with realization:

So the problem lies not within the realm of Seiges, but rather, the attraction of the abyss has further strengthened

Ev frowned slightly.

Is it just a mere coincidence? Or does my recent promotion really have some sort of connection to this anomaly?

There wasnt much information regarding the abyss in the inheritance of the World Tree, and as such, Ev still didnt have an answer nor solution for this anomaly.

Fortunately, the realm of Seiges was still far from fully descending into the abyss, so even though its cosmic position had just sunk a bit, the impact was not all that significant in the short term.

However, Ev didnt completely disregard this incident and vowed to remain vigilant.

In the future I should pay close attention to the changes in the abyss Whether its a coincidence or not, this incident clearly not a good sign.

The strengthening of the power of the abyss will undoubtedly accelerate the destruction of various realms.

The same could be applied to Seiges.

Perhaps I should ask Hela once more. The Netherworld is, after all, located on the edge of the abyss, acting as a barrier against its power. So she should know some secrets about it

Ev briefly pondered while looking at a certain realm emitting a grayish light thats situated at the outer edge of the abyss.

Suddenly, at that moment, she suddenly felt many other powerful auras coming from the direction of the heavenly realm

It seems that the other gods have also been alarmed by this recent incident.

Eves heart stirred, quickly retracting her consciousness from wandering across cosmic space and returned back into Seiges.
