Game of the World Tree - Chapter 830

830. Chapter 826: Escape Faction, Reincarnation Faction, Replacement Faction

Eve and Ulinos talked a lot.

After going to the Land of Origin and seeing several collapsed and destroyed universes, the Dragon Ancestor also opened up everything to Eve.

“Your Majesty Eve, if you have anything else you want to know, you can ask me as many questions as you want. As long as I can answer them, I will definitely answer them. However, our communication about the truth of the world can only be carried out here. If it is in the world of Segos, it is very likely that the ‘Lord’ will know it…”

Ulinos said.

Eve’s heart moved.

He remembered the stone tablet belonging to the world of Segos in the Temple of Origin. On that stone tablet, the history recorded according to everything that happened in the world of Segos would be formed…

It was like surveillance.

I am afraid that it is precisely because of this that whenever the outside world mentioned the truth of the world and the predecessor, Ulinos would be very secretive and keep silent, and only when he came to the Land of Origin did he tell everything he knew.

“Your Majesty Ulinos, how many gods know the secrets of the world?”

Eve asked.

“Not much.”

Ulinos shook his head and said:

“Almost all the powerful gods know this secret, because they have all been here. There were also some gods below the powerful gods who knew it, but after knowing it, their end was not very good…”

“Some went crazy, some fell, and some disappeared…”

“I think that in the world of Segos, there may be a hidden force. They are probably loyal to the so-called ‘Lord’ and are cleansing the gods who know the truth of the world.” “

However, their power should not be too strong, and they can only target the existences below the powerful gods.”

“Of course, this is just my guess. There are also powerful gods who think that the changes in the previous universe have attracted the attention of the will of the universe, or… the attention of the ‘Lord’.”

“It is He who is manipulating the will of the universe, targeting the gods who know the truth and the existences that may threaten the reincarnation of the universe. It’s just that the powerful gods are stronger, or perhaps because the ‘Lord’ is asleep, he cannot interfere with us directly.”

“There is some truth to this statement, because the ancient gods began to decline rapidly, most likely because their overall strength was too powerful, posing a threat to the cycle of the universe; and the reproduction of our dragon race inexplicably encountered difficulties when we learned the secret of the world…”

“Then what about the war between dragons and Titans? Since we know the truth about the world, we should all be allies, right?”

Eve asked another question.

Ulinos sighed,

“After His Majesty Neo disappeared, the key he left behind could not open the Temple of Origin, so we did not know the secret of the world at the first time…”

“However, after getting the key, we vaguely knew the way to the great power…”

“At that time, we realized that there was only one throne of great power, and we also vaguely realized that the universe would face a crisis, but we didn’t know what the crisis was. So in order to fight for this only throne, we broke out in war.”

Ulinos said with a lonely expression:

“This is the biggest mistake I have made, and the thing I regret the most.”

“Later, the abyss appeared, the Titans were wiped out, and our dragons were also severely damaged. At that time, the key was finally able to open the temple of the origin…”

“We knew the secret, but it was too late. The two most powerful mythological races after the decline of the ancient gods, one was wiped out, and the other was severely damaged…”

“It was a war without a winner, and now looking back, in addition to our own greed, I am afraid we were also affected by external forces.”

“Until now, the only people who know the truth about the world are me and Reinhardt. Among the ancient gods, there are only a few powerful old guys left. Some of them are not in good condition and have chosen to hide from the world…”

“As for the gods of faith, the ones who know the truth are the Lord of Eternity, the God of War, and the Guardian of the Stars. Hmm… Strictly speaking, the Guardian of the Stars is also an ancient god, but I have never liked Him.”

“In my opinion, those who are deliberately mysterious need to be beaten, especially Him who has the priesthood of prophecy.”

“In addition, the Guardian of the Stars, the God of War, and the Lord of Eternity represent another path different from the world tree Yggdrasil.”

“Another path?”

Eve’s heart moved slightly.

“Yes, this is also related to the reason why the world tree was attacked by the gods of faith thousands of years ago.”

Ulinos said.

He raised a question that instantly aroused Eve’s interest.

Eve already knew that the Lord of Eternity wanted to prevent his predecessor from ascending to greatness so that he could achieve greatness himself.

But after hearing what Ulinos said, it seemed that there was something else hidden.

The ancestor of the giant dragon sighed and continued:

“After knowing the secrets of the world of Segos, the true gods gave rise to several factions.”

“The escape faction, the reincarnation faction, and the replacement faction…”

As he spoke, he looked at Eve deeply and said:

“The leader of the escape faction is the world tree Yggdrasil. He does not like fighting, nor does he want to see the creatures sacrificed in resistance. His idea is to integrate the world of Segos into himself, ascend to great divine power, abandon other planes, reduce the attention of the will of the universe, and then carry this plane that condenses the most essence of the original laws of the entire universe and the creatures of the Segos universe to leave this universe and escape this reincarnation.”

“He cultivated faith in the true God in order to shape the kingdom of God.”

“The kingdom of God has powers close to those of the planes, but it belongs exclusively to the true God and will not be controlled by other forces, so… it is very suitable for carrying creatures when fleeing.”

“And if he successfully escapes from the Segos universe, he will use his own body to evolve a brand new universe…”

“This is Yggdrasil’s plan, and it is also a plan known to several of our powerful ancient gods.”

“The leader of the Reincarnation faction is a mysterious ancient god named Guy. He believes that the mythological power of the current Segos universe is too weak, and it is not the time to get rid of the shackles of the universe. The fire of civilization should be preserved and continue to reincarnate into the next universe to find a better time, or even… wait for the return of His Majesty Neo.”

“This is also the final choice of most conservative ancient gods…”

“The leader of the Replacement faction is the Star Guardian Rigdar. He believes that escape and reincarnation are meaningless. The only chance of survival is to fight against the existence behind the universe and replace him as the ‘Lord’. The reason is that after His Majesty Neo disappeared, he saw a prophecy when he used his own priestly power to search for His Majesty Neo…”

“The prophecy only has one sentence: escape and compromise can only bring destruction, while confrontation and nirvana will bring new life.”

“However, with His Majesty Neo’s prophecy, He believes that he cannot be the savior, so… He has been looking for the executor of his own ideas…”

“It is worth mentioning that He does not like the world tree that chose escapism, and thinks it is a waste of resources.”

Hearing this, Eve’s heart moved:

“So… did He finally choose the Eternal Lord Iteo?”

“Yes.”

Ulinos nodded:

“The Eternal Lord Iteo, like His Majesty Neo, was originally a human being, which meets the meaning of ‘external force’ in His Majesty Neo’s language. Not only that… He is ambitious enough, and at the same time, he is responsible enough. He is deeply trusted by the gods of faith and loved by believers.”

“If He becomes the ‘Lord’, He will most likely succeed in saving the entire universe.”

He sighed again:

“Of course, that was in the past. After betraying the World Tree, choosing the path of resistance, and becoming the master of the era, Iteo was only one step away from great divine power. However, He gradually lost himself in faith and power…”

“Perhaps influenced by the increasingly strong faith of humans, He has more and more of the bad qualities of humans, selfishness, and narrow-mindedness… He is no longer the He of the past.”

“The ancient gods can resist the influence of the power of faith because of the special nature of their bodies, but the foundation of believing in the true God is faith, and their resistance to the influence of the power of faith is far less than that of the ancient gods…”

“No, perhaps from the moment of betraying the World Tree, Iteo has begun to lose himself. Some things, once lost, open a gap, and can never be returned.”

Ulinos sighed.

After hearing this, Eve also figured out some things.

He knew why the ancient gods did not stand on the side of their predecessors in the God War thousands of years ago.

If we follow the timeline of the previous universes, the life of the Segos universe is probably about 230 million years.

And now, the life of the Segos universe is very close to this time point.

Not to mention the choice of the reincarnation faction, at least the escape faction and the replacement faction cannot coexist with each other because the time is too short.

At the same time, coupled with the prophecy of the God of Prophecy, it is difficult for the ancient gods to make a choice.

No.

Or rather, they have already had a bias.

That is, there is the prophecy of Rigdal, who controls the prophecy priesthood, and they also think that escape is meaningless…

They tend to favor Iteo at that time.

This is very realistic.

After all, all beings want to live and want to escape the fate of reincarnation.

And prophecy is like this. There are only interpretation errors, not prophecy errors…

So, in the struggle of the ancient gods, the war of gods besieging the world tree broke out.

And before the ancient gods made a real choice, the former world tree fell.

What happened next was very clear, that is, as time went on, Iteo’s performance gradually disappointed some beings headed by Ulinos.

And at this time, Eve appeared.

Honestly, although she could understand their approach, Eve felt that the ancient gods’ approach was problematic.

Thinking of this, He couldn’t help but ask:

“So… do you think that I, who am inclined to fight now, can replace Iteo?”

“No…”

Ulinos shook his head.

“Although you have been promoted to a powerful god, it is too late now. Not to mention, the opportunity for the World Tree to be promoted to greatness, the key that can enable the World Tree to successfully lead to greatness, has also been seized by the Lord of Eternity…”

“The seven keys correspond to seven universes and seven paths to achieving greatness. However, the universes corresponding to the first five keys have been destroyed, and the laws have all dissipated. They have long lost the possibility of being promoted to greatness. Only the keys of the plane universe and the Segos universe whose original laws have not been collected have hope of being promoted.”

“Among them, the most mysterious key is the key to the plane universe. No one knows what power that key has. It was once the opportunity for His Majesty Neo to be promoted to greatness, and it disappeared after He disappeared…”

“As for the key corresponding to the Segos world, it was left behind by His Majesty Neo. It was also what Anos and I fought for, and the war that broke out was caused by it…”

“Later, I was seriously injured and fell into a deep sleep, and Anos also fell into madness. Before I fell asleep, I knew the secrets of the world, and my injuries also doomed me to never achieve greatness in this life, so I gave the key to His Majesty Neo to take to the world tree in the Segos universe.”

“And now, this key is in the hands of the Lord of Eternity, who successfully seized it in the war of gods a thousand years ago.”

“So… now the only one who has the hope of being promoted to greatness is the Lord of Eternity.”

“Although the Lord of Eternity has gradually lost himself, at least… He has not forgotten his purpose.”

“If He wins and ends the reincarnation of the universe, it will be a victory after all.”

“Even if… maybe I don’t like Him to be a being above me, even if… He may become a tyrant.”

“Sorry, these words may not sound comfortable to you, and you may even think I’m hypocritical, but this is indeed the true thought of most gods…”

“Everyone… just wants to live, and as a non-external existence in His Majesty Neo’s prophecy, everyone is powerless and confused, and can only rely on special existences.”

“However, in addition to Iteo, I think there must be a second insurance, that is you. As a being with unlimited potential, I think you have the hope of becoming a backup to save the universe…”

“Or rather, I am more optimistic about you in the future.”

“Why?”

Eve asked with a thought in her mind.

“Because you are an existence brought from outside the universe by His Majesty Neo himself. His Majesty Neo, who has been promoted to great divine power, has mastered the ability to leave this universe, but He came back, and not only that, He also brought you with him, which shows that He is optimistic about you.”

“From what I know about Him, this great being will not do anything meaningless.”

Ulinos said seriously.

“Then what do you mean by backup?”

Eve asked again.

Ulinos looked serious:

“Join the Samsara Sect. When Iteo fails, return to the next universe and continue the struggle… borrow the key of the next universe and achieve greatness.”

“The key to the Segos universe is gone, but if we really fail this time, we will have a chance to get a new key in the next universe, and that time will be the time when the opportunity to ascend to greatness comes again!”

“At that time, I will do my best to assist you, help you achieve greatness, and save this locked universe…”

I posted it in a hurry, so there may be a lot of typos. I will sort it out later.

There is one more update later
