Elf Kingdom: Game of the World Tree-Chapter 1140 - 759: Sea God Trident
Until now, Eve still doesn’t know what is sealed in the ruins world.
When she first entered the ruins world, she saw the illusion of the underwater world and thought that the entity might be an ancient sea god who lost the ocean domain but retained other divine abilities.
Especially after sensing that ancient, time-worn aura, she became even more convinced of this.
However, when she saw the divine soul’s manifestation resembling a Leviathan, she overturned that possibility...
And during the few breaths when Eve was battling the Dark Night Shadow Eris controlled by the opponent, more contradictory discoveries left Eve quite astonished.
The opponent could wield nearly intermediate peak divine power, yet couldn’t exhibit a Divine Domain.
The opponent could manipulate the power of laws, but Eve couldn’t discern the divine domain the opponent possessed, or rather... the opponent didn’t seem to show mastery over any specific domain, only vaguely able to sense the power controlled was of the ocean’s laws...
Yet the ocean domain is controlled by the Demon God Leviathan, so where did the opponent’s law power come from?
Controlling the ocean’s laws, how could the opponent have been able to contend with the ocean’s lord Leviathan for millennia?
As she pursued the opponent, what did the complex aura sensed from the opponent’s divine soul signify?
Speaking of divine souls...
The opponent has strong divine soul power, yet their level of wisdom doesn’t seem very high.
It was only when Eve approached that she realized the opponent could only express simple emotions of fear and anger...
Even the initial divine soul contact through the idol in that small town revealed a naive, childlike will.
What exactly is sealed within this seal?
What is hidden behind the weighty divine soul?
Eve was very curious.
However, even though Eve couldn’t figure out the opponent’s identity, she already knew their true plan.
The giant tree kept growing, its aura steadily rising.
Looking at the Tree of Life before her eyes, a word formed in Eve’s mind:
Promotion Ceremony.
Promotion Ceremony... It’s a term unique among ancient gods; among them, it holds the status comparable to the divine enthronement ceremony of the True Gods of Faith.
Specifically, it’s an ancient god breaking through the limits of its bloodline through some kind of ceremony, becoming a higher life form among their race.
Generally, the promotion ceremony takes place between the demigod and True God ranks.
But occasionally, it happens within the True God rank itself.
And for the Tree of Life growing from the branches of the World Tree, the end point of promotion is the World Tree.
The World Tree, the starting point is myth.
Without a doubt.
The entity sealed has schemed for millennia, and its goal is not only to escape but also to completely merge with the Tree of Life and promote itself into the World Tree!
Looking at the almost boiling origin power around, Eve slightly narrowed her eyes.
Her expression was quite calm, seemingly not frightened at all by the increasingly powerful energy fluctuations from the opponent.
Every ancient god’s promotion ceremony has its conditions.
As the true body of the World Tree, Eve naturally knows the conditions for the Tree of Life to become the World Tree—
1. Possess the World Tree’s bloodline, with the body being one of the Tree of Life, War Tree, or Eternal Tree.
2. Take root in a Main Material Plane, and reach the plane’s origin space to absorb origin power.
3. Gain energy reserves at least at the True God level, or matching the ascending entity’s divine soul level reserves.
4. Master one of the laws of nature and life, or at least two subsidiary laws under the two main laws.
Clearly, since the opponent has chosen to ascend, these four conditions are likely already fulfilled.
But Eve isn’t worried at all.
Because the World Tree’s promotion ceremony has another condition that doesn’t need preparation, yet is the most crucial:
5. The World Tree doesn’t exist.
The aura of the Tree of Life kept climbing, its branches and leaves growing rapidly.
However, when it reached the peak, it began to tremble slightly.
It seemed as if some force was inexplicably stopping it from advancing further...
And after trembling for several seconds, the gigantic tree suddenly started to sway, its aura deflating rapidly, like a punctured balloon.
The Tree of Life began to shrink at an alarming speed...
Until a moment later, it stopped when it regained a shape about three parts larger than before the promotion began.
Vaguely, Eve seemed to sense a hint of bewilderment and panic from the Tree of Life.
Looking at the Tree of Life that failed to ascend, a trace of mockery flashed in Eve’s eyes.
Just like the Dragon Ancestor Ulynos, as one of Segis World’s most pinnacle ancient gods, the position of the World Tree is unique.
In the entire Segis Universe, only one can exist.
With Eve in front blocking the way, no matter how hard the opponent tries, they won’t succeed.
Watching the Tree of Life’s aura fall back to its starting point, Eve smiled. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢
Afterward, her gaze flickered, and she transformed into a stream of light, surging into the Tree of Life once more...
The promotion ceremony of ancient gods has another effect.
Which is to strengthen the bond between the divine soul and the body.
Through all sorts of clues, Eve already understood that what was sealed is a cluster of divine soul.
Previously, the opponent used the damaged seal to control the Tree of Life and the Mother Goddess Church, with the body still within the seal.
Even if Eve destroyed the Tree of Life, she might not be able to eliminate the opponent.
But now it’s different.
Though the promotion has failed, for the opponent who has already attempted fusion, they likely can no longer leave the body of the Tree of Life.
