Chapter 480: Chapter 460: Method to Repair the Source

Decay and collapse had their reasons.

While Oros’s reckless extraction of life potential was a major factor, it was merely the catalyst.

This half-plane was neither naturally formed nor created by a True God in the usual way, but rather evolved by a Demigod at the cost of sacrificing her Divine Soul, using the pre-existing special space.

This evolution inherently carried great risks.

Its predecessor was the Divine Kingdom Space gifted to Oros by the previous World Tree, a semi-finished product.

Although that Divine Kingdom Space itself had the potential to evolve into a mature half-plane, potential was just potential, and turning it into reality was a long journey.

The most crucial aspect was to allow the half-plane’s origin to fully develop.

Without the intervention of a True God, this growth might take tens of millions of years.

Even with a True God’s involvement, it probably wouldn’t be feasible without a few hundred years.

In fact, for a True God to open a mature half-plane, despite having formidable Divine Power, it might still be impossible to form without a few decades.

However, Oros cleverly accelerated this process to completion.

The cost was that the origin of this half-plane became innately deficient, significantly shortening its lifespan...

This was still because the original Divine Kingdom Space had quite complete laws.

Therefore, this was almost non-reproducible.

And at the moment when Eve took over this half-plane, she already knew the lifespan of this half-plane...

If no outside intervention occurred, within ten years, this half-plane would completely collapse.

Not to mention, the glass-like cracks in the half-plane’s sky were ominous signs.

Although the entire half-plane seemed to look normal now, that was just an illusion.

The collapse of such a plane was not like boiling a frog in warm water but would be as rapid as a burst dam.

Initially, it would be unnoticeable until it reached its limits, then the plane would rapidly collapse within a short period...

"Ten years... If I can’t repair this half-plane, I will have to abandon it..."

"Because of accelerated growth, this half-plane has already thoroughly crystallized. Until the origin is restored, it can’t revert to a Divine Country. It seems merging it into my Divine Country is also impossible..."

"I certainly can’t abandon these new believers. They have great potential and are involved in my future plans..."

"If the half-plane can’t be restored, transferring the believers will be a huge project, not to mention the fact that most of the half-plane’s half-blooded humans are not my followers, making their transfer and settlement even more troublesome."

"However, if it really comes to that point, would it count as picking up sesame seeds and dropping watermelons..."

Thinking of this, Eve felt somewhat helpless.

Repairing this half-plane was truly challenging.

But its allure to Eve was also truly strong.

As the Plane Master, Eve knew every aspect of the half-plane like the back of her hand.

In her perception, this half-plane covered an area of over three million square kilometers, with extremely fertile lands, abundant resources, and vast areas of forests and plains.

Moreover, the variety and quantity of living beings within the plane were abundant.

Apart from the relatively low strength of life, and the scarcity of magic flora and fauna, it was almost perfect.

Furthermore, the laws of this half-plane were quite complete.

Although its energy level was low, the elemental distribution was balanced, comparable to the main material realm.

Such a half-plane where any living being could survive was welcomed even among True Gods...

Because such a half-plane could completely be used to cultivate believers, serving as a back garden.

Even True God of Faith could use it as a backup for revival after falling.

Including Eve.

In terms of faith, if it came to the most dangerous time, Eve could completely abandon her main body, abandon the identity of the World Tree, and use the identity of the True God of Faith to secretly resurrect in this half-plane using the power of the believers’ faith.

In terms of the World Tree, Eve could also incur great costs to transfer her main body, detach from the Segis World, take root in this half-plane, transform it into an independent half-plane, then flee with it, escaping the pursuit of True God of Faith...

Of course, the premise of these operations was the intactness of the half-plane’s origin.

To fundamentally stop the collapse of this half-plane, it was necessary to repair its origin and restore it to its intact state.

Therefore, all the goals ultimately boiled down to restoring the origin.

However, sometimes repairing something was more difficult than creating something.

True Gods all possessed the ability to open half-planes.

However, True Gods didn’t create half-planes by their own power, instead using the laws of the universe’s half-plane birth, shortening the process with their power to achieve the generation of a half-plane in the short term.

In essence, True Gods were more like catalysts.

When it came to repairing half-planes, many mythical beings were at a loss.

This was also why after the Segis World’s origin was damaged, True Gods couldn’t repair it but could only rely on it to restore itself...

However, there were differences even among True Gods.

As the World Tree, Eve inherently had mechanisms similar to a plane, capable of repairing the origin of the plane she resided in by absorbing Void Energy.

However, Eve was currently rooted in the Segis Plane, and her entanglement with the Segis Plane’s origin was profound, making it naturally impossible to migrate quietly to repair another half-plane...

But this wasn’t absolute.

In Eve’s knowledge of planes, there were two other ways to repair the half-plane’s origin.

The first method was to use a True Divine Artifact related to the plane’s origin.

Coincidentally, Eve’s inheritance included just such an artifact.

It was the other True Divine Artifact of the previous World Tree—the Source of Elements.

The Source of Elements was one of the three major True Divine Artifacts of the predecessor, created to repair the Segis Plane’s origin damaged during the Dusk Era.

It was originally a Divine Artifact related to the opening of planes and repairing origins!

Unfortunately, this True Divine Artifact was seized by the main god of the human gods, the Lord of Eternity, Yiteo, after the millennial divine war.

Yiteo had formidable Divine Power, which Eve couldn’t afford to provoke now, so she could only keep it in her mind for the future.

So... this method was currently difficult to pursue.

The second method was to seize the origin of another plane similar to this half-plane and merge it...

Unfortunately, Eve did not know where she could find another plane similar to this half-plane.

Segis was one.

But she didn’t dare to tamper with the origin of the Segis World at this critical moment.

Because it was suppressed by the Pantheon...

Her own Divine Country barely counted as one.

Yet tampering with her Divine Country’s origin was courting death.

However, upon reflecting on the origins of this half-plane, Eve had another idea...

Since the predecessor of this half-plane was the failed Divine Country opened by the previous World Tree.

Then, if she could find the shattered Divine Country of the previous World Tree from the millennial divine war...

Would it be possible to use fragments of the Divine Country to repair the origin of this half-plane?

A shattered Divine Country would carry parts of its origin.

And the World Tree’s Divine Country was inherently similar to the main material realm.

This idea was not entirely fanciful.

Because, upon becoming the master of this half-plane, Eve actually already had the foundation to search for the previous Divine Country.

And that was her vast believers...
