Elf Kingdom: Game of the World Tree-Chapter 345 - 328: Changes in the Abyss

The feeling of descent came quickly and went just as fast, as if it were merely an illusion.

However, for Eve, a True God, she could sense that it was no illusion...

"Just now... did the entire world sink?"

Eve’s heart skipped a beat.

The descent of the world was not a good omen.

Having received the inheritance of the World Tree, Eve knew that the world’s descent only signified one thing, and that was the entire plane was getting closer to the endless abyss at the bottom of the Segis World.

In the Segis Universe, the process of a plane from birth to destruction is the process of constantly absorbing Void Energy to strengthen itself after the plane’s appearance, and with time gradually being drawn to the abyss at the bottom, eventually falling into it...

The abyss signifies destruction.

Thinking of this, Eve frowned,

"Did the increase in Magic Power accelerate the Segis Plane’s fall towards the abyss?"

*This was different from what she saw in the World Tree inheritance!*

In the inheritance she received, the more energy a plane absorbs, the higher its level, the stronger its ability to resist the pull of the abyss.

Therefore, the stronger the energy and the more perfect the rules of a plane, the longer its lifespan.

This is also why, despite being the oldest, the Segis World remains steadfast.

The Segis World had just absorbed so much Void Energy, and the Magic Power of the entire plane skyrocketed as if by rocket speed. Logically, its resistance to the abyss’s pull should have been stronger, and such a descent should have been impossible...

"Could it be... that something outside the plane has changed?"

With this thought, Eve concentrated, and began to raise her consciousness...

Every mythical being had the ability to elevate their consciousness beyond the void of the plane they inhabited, allowing them to overlook the crystal wall system they were in.

When she awakened the [Extraction] ability, Eve had passively raised her consciousness and had seen the world beyond the crystal wall system.

However, at that time her power was still weak, and she could not control her perspective, only seeing the endless void outside the Segis World.

But at this moment, her power had reached a weak level of Divine Power, and she could now control this transcendent observation well, adjusting her perspective.

As her consciousness continued to rise, Eve soon "saw" her vast true form, and beneath her form, the increasingly prosperous Chosen City, and the players within the city, small as sesame seeds.

Her vision continued to ascend, her true form gradually becoming small, and the city becoming more and more tiny, while the whole picture of the Elf Forest gradually revealed itself in her view...

Eve could see several ruins hidden in the forest, the continuous Dark Mountain Range, the Human World to the east, and the Death Desert to the south...

This was a perspective she had never seen before, as if the whole map had been revealed.

However, many areas outside the Elf Forest appeared as if shrouded in mist in Eve’s vision, unclear to see.

Those were other True Gods’ territories, their power preventing external peering.

Eve had no intention of prying but instead accelerated the ascent of her consciousness.

She needed to go beyond the plane to check where exactly the problem lay.

Her true form was bound to the Segis Plane. If Segis truly slid into the abyss, even if she could absorb the abyss’s power, she could not ensure that after sinking into the abyss, she could still resist the abyss’s will’s erosion...

It could be said that Segis Plane’s rise and fall were directly linked to her.

Her vision continued to rise, and Eve soon saw the entire continent, saw another slightly smaller continent to the south of the main one, and saw the endless ocean surrounding the two continents...

Then, with a slight tremor, Eve felt as if her consciousness passed through a transparent medium, and the consumption of her Divine Power accelerated abruptly...

She realized that she had passed through the crystal wall system of the Segis Plane.

Then, Eve’s vision suddenly changed, and what lay before her was no longer the "map" of the Segis World, but a giant bubble like amber.

The bubble shimmered with a beautiful luster, refracting faint but magnificent colors.

This bubble was the Segis Plane.

And around this bubble, she could see countless tiny bubbles clinging to it, representing the various half-planes attached to the Segis Plane.

This was Eve’s first time examining the Segis World from beyond the plane, different from celestial bodies in her previous life’s universe; these crystal wall worlds in the Plane Universe appeared more mysterious and much more splendid...

And near and far from Eve’s eyes, representing the Segis Universe’s "bubble," there were also other bubbles representing different planes.

Eve even saw farther into the center of the universe, where there was a golden-glowing cluster of light, surrounded by small bubbles emanating a sacred aura.

There... was the Heavenly Realm.

After a few glances, Eve shifted her gaze, focusing her attention on the Segis Plane.

The Segis Plane... showed no abnormalities.

On the contrary, having arrived outside the crystal wall system, Eve could also sense the Segis Plane’s vibrant life force.

Unlike the decay she perceived when she last elevated her consciousness, now... the Segis Universe was genuinely gradually recovering.

Furthermore, even without deliberately calculating, Eve could roughly sense that with this wave of energy absorption, the opening time of the Segis World Plane Channel might advance again...

What might have originally taken twenty years, now seemed likely to require at least less than half the time.

Time, it became more urgent.

Eve’s heart tightened slightly.

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

The issue didn’t lie with the Segis Plane.

Then...

Eve looked beneath the Segis Plane.

There lay a deep darkness.

She could see one cold, quiet plane after another, like specters in a universe, undulating in the dark.

From time to time, dim amber-like bubbles fell into it, being corroded and devoured by the darkness...

There lay the endless abyss, the endpoint of all planes.

And as she sensed the faint attraction from the endless abyss, Eve’s heart stirred,

"It’s not an issue with the Segis Plane but the abyss’s pull has increased..."

"Is it a coincidence? Or because of my recent ascension?"

Eve frowned slightly.

The information about the abyss in the World Tree’s inheritance wasn’t much, and encountering such a situation, she also did not know why this was happening.

Fortunately, the Segis Plane was still very far from the abyss, even if it had just taken a small dip, it didn’t have too much impact.

However, it was enough to put Eve on alert,

"In the future... I’ll need to pay attention to changes in the abyss... Whether it’s a coincidence or not, it’s not a good omen."

The strengthening of the abyss’s power would undoubtedly accelerate the destruction of various planes.

The same applied to the Segis World.

"Perhaps, I should consult with Hela, the Netherworld is located at the edge of the abyss, and is a bridgehead against the abyss’s forces, she might know some secrets..."

Looking at a plane emitting a grayish glow on the edge of the endless abyss, Eve was lost in thought.

At that moment, she suddenly felt numerous powerful presences coming distantly from the direction of the Heavenly Realm...

"It seems the changes just now have also alarmed the gods."

Eve’s heart stirred, and she hastily withdrew her consciousness traveling through the void.
