Chapter 464: Chapter 446: The True God Avatar of the World Tree (Second Bonus)

Segis City.

A group of players wearing hoods moved through the shadows on the streets.

“This Crystal Ball isn’t giving out clear enough waves. At this rate, who knows when we’ll find the target,”

Hu Lu said, scratching his head as he looked at the gently flickering orb in He Fan’s hand.

He wanted to say more, but suddenly felt a strange sensation and stopped.

Including He Fan, five players felt a sudden stir in their hearts, like sensing a mysterious rhythm.

Then, they noticed all the pedestrians on the street had stopped in their tracks.

As if prearranged, all the residents stood still, and the synchronized movements added a sense of horror to the already oppressive city.

Then, all the residents opened their mouths at the same time, chanting in a low voice,

“Praise nature, praise life, praise the great Creator God! You are the master of nature, you are the light of life!”

The praying residents remained expressionless.

However, those closest to He Fan and the others turned their eyes on them.

The people stared at the players, their gazes still hollow, like emotionless machines or lifelike dolls, continually chanting…

Under those emotionless gazes and flat chanting, the players felt their scalps tingle.

“Don’t make eye contact with them, mimic them, pretend to pray.”

A familiar voice suddenly echoed in the players’ ears.

It was Divine Favored Zero.

Her voice sounded somewhat tired.

Upon hearing Divine Favored Zero’s words, they immediately complied, also beginning to mimic the residents in prayer.

Of course, they only mouthed the words without saying anything for real.

As they “prayed,” the residents quickly withdrew their gazes from the players and looked in the direction of the Great Temple at the city center.

The monotonous and emotionless chanting echoed over the city.

The prayer continued for a full minute before gradually stopping.

The pedestrians also escaped from their strange state and resumed their activities.

Seeing this, the players all breathed a sigh of relief.

“What just happened?”

They were bewildered.

“The enemy was checking for intruders. Something occurred just now; the opponents sensed our infiltration, but it seems they only had their suspicions. We passed unnoticed,”

Zero’s voice rang out again.

Something happened?

Was it related to our arrival?

The players were moved.

Zero didn’t explain further, but they figured the timing of the incident was likely connected to them.

Suddenly, the players became more vigilant, fearing any mistake might lead to the entire mission’s failure.

At that moment, Divine Favored Zero’s voice echoed again, as if seeing through their thoughts:

“It’s not your fault, I was using your position to locate the Heart of Life, which caused the fluctuation.”

“However, I have now successfully pinpointed the exact coordinates of the Heart of Life and will share them with you, so proceed there quickly.”

“The emergency mechanism left by this ‘Creator God’ has been activated. The longer we delay, the greater the risks. You must secure the Heart of Life as soon as possible!”

“Also, prepare to summon other Chosen Ones. I have prayed to the Mother Goddess and received Her divine insight, granting permission for cross-dimension summoning of the Chosen Ones.”

As those words ended, the players’ vision abruptly changed, and the coordinates for the Heart of Life appeared on their game mini-map.

Coordinates acquired!

They were filled with joy.

They nodded solemnly and then headed in the direction indicated by the mini-map.

After pointing the players in the right direction, Eve breathed a sigh of relief, recalling the scene she witnessed when she infiltrated the enemy’s faith network…

Especially the figure in the Crystal Coffin that looked exactly like her avatar.

“I never thought this half-plane still sealed the former’s body. If my guess is correct, that should be the True God Avatar of the previous World Tree.”

The former World Tree had its avatar.

Moreover, as a powerful ancient god with dominion over the law of life, the previous World Tree’s True God Avatar was a real corporeal body, also of True God level.

Eve had once thought all those avatars were destroyed in the Divine War, but it seemed one had been brought into this half-plane.

At this moment, She understood where this Creator God’s confidence came from and roughly inferred what had happened.

*Though it was just an avatar, being the work of a True God, the body’s ability to accommodate Natural and Life Divine Power, along with embodying the laws of nature and life, probably rivaled a True Divine Artifact.*

“This ‘Creator God’s’ plan for Divine Enthronement probably doesn’t focus on the fragments of the Life Scepter, but rather on this avatar…”

*Perhaps it’s not possible to enthrone using only the divine roles of life and nature, but by using similarly related roles and leveraging a True God-level body, the enthronement could still be achieved.*

Of course, Eve considered whether the opponent was attempting to awaken the World Tree through the avatar, not intending treachery.

However, if you look closely at the doctrine of the Creation God Sect, you’ll notice the discrepancy.

If awakening the World Tree were the goal, the doctrine would point at the World Tree or the “Mother of All Gods,” not the Creator God.

Yet, both the doctrine and the church’s legends diluted the World Tree’s presence, even the elves’.

Moreover…

Eve turned to look at the five Demons being used for “experiments.”

The appearance of these Great Demons had changed significantly compared to the beginning.

Their scale armor became more resilient, their body size increased several times over, and their aura surged, having entirely entered the Golden Rank, becoming true Demon Lords.

On their bodies lingered thick black fog that belonged to the abyssal power.

Even if these Great Demons evolved into Golden Rank Demon Lords, they still behaved like scared poodles in front of Eve, tucking their tails and trembling…

The Demons’ transformation wasn’t accidental, but caused by the mental impact.

As Eve withdrew, a powerful surge of abyssal power came through the mental passage, which didn’t affect Her or the players, but directly acted on the Great Demons.

The source of this abyssal power was the Creator God slumbering in the half-plane!

*”Who would have thought, this ‘Creator God’ truly fell. But when exactly was it, before or after the slumber?”*

Eve shook Her head.

*”Thankfully, I didn’t awaken the opponent, otherwise things would have been much more difficult.”*

A demigod fallen into the abyss gone mad was nothing like an ordinary demigod.

Destroying the half-plane would be the least it could do. If it went all out, it might offer itself in sacrifice, along with the half-plane, to distort the void and open an Abyss Gate.

If that happened, the entire Segis World would face an abyssal invasion, and the Elf Forest would be the first to suffer.

If that occurred, this place would undoubtedly become the center of the universe’s attention, and Eve didn’t believe She could keep Her identity hidden.

*”It was the last glance before leaving that triggered the Divine Soul’s tremor. From the residents’ reactions, it seemed the emergency mechanism had already activated… Praying to the Creator God? Looks like they’re attempting to awaken the opponent.”*

“But, even if the opponent awakens, it will require some time. So long as we can find a way into the palace and seize the Heart of Life before then, we will secure an unbeatable position!”

Through the recent infiltration, Eve confirmed a few issues.

The first was that this ‘Creator God’ had indeed fallen asleep, relying solely on the fragment of the Life Scepter to maintain the operation of the entire belief network and keep control over this half-plane.

The second was that through recent observation, Eve had realized that the opponent did not have complete control of the half-plane, with the Life Scepter’s fragment playing a significant assisting role.

If the players could obtain the fragment, even if the opponent revived, they would not be able to fully command the half-plane in a short time, thus providing Eve the opportunity to descend upon this world.

As long as the opponent couldn’t entirely control the half-plane, Eve could manage a certain degree of arrival!

Thinking of this, Eve again linked to the game system to officially activate the summoning task.
