With a single step, I teleported inside the World Tree.
The inside of the world tree was hollow, filled with stairs, rooms, and various structures that would shock anyone who came into it.
I was expecting this. As soon as I saw the World Tree, I knew it was hollow inside.
It was built this way intentionally. If not mistaken, the secret behind this tree can be found here.
However, I noticed something was wrong as soon as I entered the tree.
Immediately, a powerful and great will woke up in the tree. The will is so strong that it is in proportion to the will of the world.
And then, it soared towards my location.
I frowned. Without a doubt, I twisted the space around me, created a mirror space and hid within it.
This way, even most Gods won't be able to find me unless they know I'm here.
The next second, the will descended on my location.
But failed to find me.
The will is confused. It paused for a while before spreading throughout the tree, trying to find the source of the disturbance he had just felt.
But no matter how much he searched, he found nothing.
It was as if the disturbance he felt just now was a lie.
However, even though I managed to hide from the will, I was surprised.
It would be .. To think that something like this had been made in this tree.
Moreover, he managed to sense the legal fluctuations caused when I moved across space to enter the tree.
Of course, I did not bother to hide these fluctuations, but even so, the fact that the will of this tree managed to sense them was quite amazing.
I get more and more interested in the secret of this tree every second.
It was not until a minute after the will came down, some presence rushed to where I was.
Each of these presences belonged to a powerful elf. There were over thirty elves, each with strength beyond the twelfth layer!
Pretty impressive.
One of these elves, an old woman with the strength of the fifteenth layer, furrowed her brows when she arrived.
"What's going on? Why do the great react? ”
"i don't know." Another elf shook his head. “I can't see anything wrong. Could it be a mistake?”
"Error? Do you think such a thing is possible?” Another old elf sneered. "If the great reacts it is because it feels something!"
“Quiet, everything.” The elf woman from the start said with a frown. “Despite the great desire to react, it seemed to find nothing. Maybe it really made a mistake. ”
"Then-"
"But, we must not be negligent at this moment." The elf woman continued. "If something happens to the World Tree, it will be too late for regret."
“Then what should we do?”
At that moment, I felt a change in his third will.
I raised an eyebrow. Suddenly, his aimless will turned sharper, and his scattered nature solidified into a single strand of powerful will.
Then, a powerful voice boomed within the tree.
(Search in the tree. I'm afraid there's a cockroach that's infiltrating inside.)
"" "Great!" "" The elves knelt down as soon as they heard the voice.
(Find him. Nothing is wrong at this point. This secret cannot be leaked!)
"""Understood!"""
The elves nodded respectfully. Then, each of them started using their strongest abilities to look for me.
Meanwhile, I looked at the strand of wills with a curious expression.
It's gonna…
Is that smart?
Very enticing. Usually, the desires of the world or similar entities are barely realized, and their behavior is guided by their instincts instead of wisdom.
The will of an intelligent world is extremely rare, and they can become extremely powerful. In fact, I know an Irregular born of the will of the intelligent world.
And after thousands of years of growth, it became strong enough to be compared to a God, and its lifespan became as long as the world in which it was born.
Although it did not find a path to Eternity, it was as strong as or even stronger than normal immortal beings.
Of course, the will of this tree was far from comparable to that of a being. It can't even be considered a baby.
Squinting my eyes, I felt the will up close.
… As expected, there is something wrong with that.
It's too impure. It was as if something else was mixed on it.
How fascinating.
As for origins
I looked up at the tree and smiled.
Over there.
With a smile, I took another step across space.
But this time, I did not bother to hide my presence.
Releasing a bit of my aura, I appeared on the crown of the tree, looked at the beautiful and gigantic leaves of the three, and stared at the scene from a height of thousands of kilometers.
As soon as I stopped hiding, the will detected me.
*ROAR!!!*
The tree shook. The mana was so abundant and powerful that it could destroy the twelfth tier practitioner rushing towards me!
At the same time, a will condensed in front of me, taking the form of a beautiful man glaring at me with hostility that seemed to freeze the world.
(Who are you?) 'He' asked.
I stared at the scene for a few seconds, remaining silent until I shook my head sadly.
“Good views. Embarrassing. I have to destroy it immediately.”
(Destroy? In other words, you are the enemy.)
I smiled without confirming or denying his words. Instead, I turned towards the will and chuckled.
"Now I understand, you were not born of the will of the tree. Instead, you are a god who uses trees to escape the shackles of the world. Very clever method. How do you think about it? ”
(You.) Hearing my words, the eyes of the will narrowed.
An ice-cold killing intent filled my surroundings, feeling like it was piercing my countless skin. All the power of this tree was focused on me.
(How do you know about that, man!)
Again, I did not answer.
Instead, I used the Akashic Sight.
This tree is protected from the prophecy of fate, but my Akashic Sight is more than fate. It uses several laws to work, including time, space, and soul.
Especially if I am directly in a tree. Finding the secret is much easier here.
I want to know. The origin of this tree. How this god fused with the tree. What is the purpose of all this.
However, my expression quickly turned serious.
Day after day, year after year, the Akashic Sight continues to see the past of this tree trying to find its origins.
I came back a hundred years ago.
Unfortunately, I can't find its origin.
But I found something else interesting.
this tree. The elves had been feeding him for generations. Gave him the soul of a living being for many years to make it grow.
And finally, in this generation, they were about to finish planting it.
All for one purpose.
“It... Hahahahaha..”.
I was silent, and I laughed.
I couldn't help but laugh. I laughed out loud, not believing that someone was so naive and crazy to do something like this.
All the elves in this world had connected their souls to this tree.
From the oldest living elves to newborn children. Each elf was connected to this tree, creating a gigantic network capable of reaching the entire world.
With each soul connected, they feed this tree, giving it their own faith, will, and life.
They thought they were creating a dream, but without them realizing it, they were creating a monster.
And funniest of all, they still think that they will achieve their goals.
They truly believed that they could make their entire race immortal.
