Elf Kingdom: Game of the World Tree

He closed his eyes and probed his Divine Soul into the core fragments of the Pantheon.

These core fragments inherently rely on the nurturing and control by the Divine Soul Power, and with the influx of Eve’s Divine Soul Power, the radiance of the core fragments quickly became more dazzling. Vaguely, Eve felt as if she had established a connection with the core fragments in the ethereal realm.

In the next moment, she sensed the Pantheon suppressed above the origin space of the Segis World once again.

A faint rhythm transmitted from that inexplicable sensation, once isolating Eve’s probing power outside, now showing slight loosening.

In Eve’s perception, if she were to forcibly insert her power now, she could even shake this temple.

However, she did not do so.

The Pantheon is controlled by Yiteo, and even if Eve startled it by shaking it a few times, it would only be futile.

She could not seize control of the Pantheon from Yiteo, and moreover, it might alert him to her intrusion.

Therefore, Eve quickly evaded the perception of the Pantheon, choosing to bypass and explore deeper behind it.

Delving into her thoughts, she found herself in a dreamlike world without knowing how much time had passed, where countless colorful halos continuously danced, sometimes spinning, sometimes entangling, sometimes jumping...

Just like the aurora she once saw in the Extreme Northern Icefield.

Of course, this is not aurora, but Origin Power.

This is the origin space of the Segis World.

Reaching this step was anticipated; even without the core fragments of the Pantheon, as long as Eve was careful enough, she could arrive here.

The key, in fact, is the next step.

"Seeing" the colorful Origin Power, Eve continued to manipulate the core fragment to shield the perception of the Pantheon while connecting with her own form.

Divine Power surged, roots grew.

Gradually, ripples emerged in the origin space.

Meanwhile, seemingly sensing something, the Pantheon, suppressed upon the origin space, began to tremble slightly.

Eve’s heart tightened, instantly increasing her control over the core fragments. Divine Power surged, and the light on the core fragments grew stronger. As the light flowed continuously, the trembling of the Pantheon slowly subsided.

At this time, the ripples in the origin space had dissipated, but a slender root had appeared.

That was the root of the World Tree, also a tool for Eve to attempt the fusion with the Segis World’s origin.

By now, Eve had completed more than half of her progress.

She concentrated, cautiously touching the roots towards the Origin Power.

This was a process that required great care and caution.

If she was not careful, it might trigger a shock in the origin space, and once such a shock occurred, the Pantheon could easily react, allowing Lord of Eternity, Yteo, to detect changes here.

If he discovered Eve had found a way to bypass the Pantheon and touch the origin, everything might be in vain.

Eve cautiously extended the roots, constantly approaching, constantly probing, little by little... bit by bit...

Finally, after slow creeping, her roots finally penetrated the essence of the Segis World’s origin.

Inside her Divine Soul came a sensation of being enveloped by warm power; it was the natural nurturing of the rules felt by her roots within the origin, making Eve almost want to moan in comfort.

It was truly a describable but wonderful feeling, as if at this very moment Eve could perceive the rhythm of the entire Segis World, becoming nearly unable to extricate herself.

After entering the origin, only the final step remained.

Eve concentrated, beginning the fusion.

It’s called fusion, but it’s really more like absorption.

With Eve’s will, the colorful origins were gradually attracted to the roots and adhered to them.

Of course, these would not be absorbed quickly but would gradually merge with the roots over time, completely transforming into Eve’s power at the moment the fusion ended.

The final moment is when it can truly be called absorption, and before this, it’s more like assimilation and preparation.

During this process, Eve cannot be disturbed by external forces; otherwise, it will be like her predecessor, in vain.

Of course, the disturbance here doesn’t mean Eve can’t shift her gaze from here or can’t do other things during the fusion, but refers to the roots in the origin space not being disturbed.

And after attempting the fusion, Eve sensed unexpectedly that to achieve complete fusion, it would take no more than a year...

This really exceeded Eve’s expectations.

Moreover, Eve discovered that if she could further leverage the power of the Pantheon, this speed could be accelerated further!

This was indeed surprising.

In worlds like the Segis World, fusing the origin should be quite difficult; Eve originally estimated it might require decades, even a hundred years.

But now it was completely beyond her expectations.

After careful sensing, Eve understood why.

It seemed because her predecessor had attempted fusion, so now the origin power of Segis Plane seemed extremely familiar to her existence, less resistant.

In other words, this was the dividend brought by the predecessor.

However, this was only one aspect, besides this, it also seemed related to Eve’s power accelerating the revival of magical power of the entire plane.

In recent years, during the recovery process of Segis World’s origin, much power was acquired by Eve’s [absorption] from the void, making the restored origin’s affinity closer to Eve.

To make an inappropriate analogy, it’s like a puppy often fed will naturally develop closeness towards its feeder.

In response, Eve’s expression became quite interesting.

This matter previously made her feel like the Segis Plane was milking her every time she thought about it, but now, it has instead accelerated the origin’s approach to her...

It was indeed a pleasant surprise.

However, as Eve was about to try if there’s a way to further speed up the progress, waves of prayers reached her Divine Soul.

It was the call from the Fairy King Fenrir.

Eve’s heart moved, she used divine power to conjure a concealed barrier, covering the roots in the origin space.

The fusion continues, it won’t stop even if she leaves, though the speed will slow.

And Eve’s consciousness returned to the Divine Country.

The light flickered, and her divine power conjured an avatar in the supreme temple, appearing on her divine throne.

At this moment, the Fairy King Fenrir was already waiting here.

"Goddess Crown!"

He pinched the corner of his dress and respectfully performed a salute.

"Death God Envoy - Demon Wolf Fenrir seeks an audience with you, now waiting in Feilengcui outside the Divine Country."

Demon Wolf Fenrir?

Could it be... something happened at Hela’s side?

Eve checked the Box of the Dead connecting her with Hela, finding no new messages.

She pondered for a moment, then gently nodded:

"Bring him into the Divine Country."

Demon Wolf Fenrir is a direct agent of Hela, well aware of Eve’s true identity, with no need to conceal anything.

Of course, at this point, Eve also doesn’t need to hide anymore.

"I obey your divine command, great Goddess Crown."

With respectful courtesy, Fenrir slowly withdrew.

After a while, the Fairy King returned to the temple again, but this time he was accompanied by a majestic demon wolf.

It was the Demigod guarding the Death Church in the Segis World, Demon Wolf Fenrir.

However, only an avatar.

He approached Eve, bowing deeply with respect and somewhat urgent tone:

"Merciful and great Life Goddess Crown, the Death Church needs your help..."

Listening to the urgency suppressed in his tone, Eve used divine power to soothe his Divine Soul, then asked:

"No need to rush, tell me, what happened?"

"Eve Crown!"

Fenrir said anxiously:

"The Dark Church has declared war, yet we, the Death Church, have lost contact with Hela Crown..."
