Chapter 856: In-Depth
"Are you really the Mother Tree Emissary?" the High Priest De Witt asked a little impatiently skipping all the greetings, "Your Excellency the Emissary, don't get me wrong, I don't mean to question the identity of the Emissary, I just want to know, is the Mother Tree okay now? We, the Life Sacrifices, completely lost the connection with the Mother Tree's consciousness two weeks ago, we can clearly feel the passage of the Mother Tree's life, what happened to the Mother Tree? Is there anything we can do? As long as we can do it, we will spare no effort to save the Mother Tree." ”
The mother tree in the mouth of the High Priest DeVita is the Abigail World Tree under their feet, which is also the goddess Abigail.
The image of the goddess Abigail that Sean saw earlier was nothing more than an energy body released by her.
Abigail's World Tree is her true deity.
No one said that the ancient gods must have been humanoid intelligent creatures.
Sean replied with a solemn expression: "Your Excellency the Goddess is in a very bad situation, two weeks ago, she was besieged by eight Shadow Masters in the outer realm of the plane, in order to protect this plane, in order to protect you, Her Excellency the Goddess had to lead them into a trap, severely damaged, trapped them, and won the last time for all the Abigails to escape, I was ordered to come to help you leave this plane and find a new home." ”
Sean was not an empty description of White Fang, the body of the law behind him, his head was already raised, his eyes were shining, and a huge hologram was reflected in the sky above the Emerald City.
In this hologram, nothing else.
It was the beginning and end of the battle between the goddess Abigail and the eight shadow hostesses that Sean had witnessed before.
Of course, this isn't the kind from start to finish.
It was carefully edited and edited by Sean in his soul, that is, the beginning and end of the war, clearly described, and presented all the most wonderful pictures, and then matched the most classic and passionate BGM tunes in Sean's memory of his previous life.
An unprecedented, artistically processed documentary has just come out.
"It's the mother tree, it's really the mother tree, is it the mother tree herself who came?"
"No, that's not real, it's just a shadow of the mother tree, it should be a bit similar to the dream of the mother tree, what we see is just a shadow of memory, this is what really happened in the past. ”
"I knew, I knew that the Mother Tree must be in danger to answer our prayers, the Mother Tree had never abandoned us, she had always been in a territory we didn't know. Alone against all dangers, under all pressures, fighting to protect us, we are still privately questioning the Mother Tree, it is really inhuman, we are ashamed of what the Mother Tree has done for us. ”
"Kill them, you must kill them......"
"That's ...... so"
"How can this be ......"
The people of Abigail had never seen this, not only the priests of life who had devout faith in the goddess Abigail.
Even those ordinary Emerald City citizens were dumbfounded one by one, and their emotions were completely mobilized.
Seeing the fierce battle, they danced excitedly and cheered for the goddess Abigail.
Seeing the goddess Abigail, in order to defend the entire plane, she did not hesitate to disintegrate herself and urge her body to attack, and suddenly burst into tears.
At the end of the day, everyone couldn't help but fall to their knees and pray for Goddess Abigail.
This prayer was a little late, but it was the only thing they could do.
Half an hour, fleeting.
The entire Emerald City was immersed in grief and indignation, and the belief in the goddess Abigail skyrocketed.
And this is exactly what Sean wants, not in vain in his careful preparation along the way.
Since being sent to the Abigail plane by the goddess Abigail, Sean has been thinking about a problem - how to win the trust of Abigail's natives in the shortest possible time, let them cooperate with him to do things, and when necessary, even take the initiative to give up his own life, let his soul enter the seed of the world tree, and let himself take it away.
Of course, without their consent, it is also possible to kill them indiscriminately, and to collect their souls by coercive means.
This practice is inhumane and does not matter, it does not matter whether Sean can kill mercilessly, and it does not matter whether he can do it in a short period of time.
Even if this method is used to achieve the final desired result, bringing a large number of Abigail souls to their own plane, their own interests will be greatly reduced.
Sean can't expect these Abigails to be loyal to him and use them for himself, right?
Sean would never use this method unless he had to.
But in a short period of time, it is also not easy to get the Abigail to volunteer.
Come to think of it, it is still the way to make full use of the influence of the goddess Abigail among the Abigails.
Those illusory beliefs can make people crazy and blindly follow them.
Not to mention that the goddess Abigail is real, and she is fighting to the death to protect the entire Abigail plane.
Although she herself was born from this, this purpose.
But those Abigailis don't know this, and naturally there is a lot to be done in it.
So far, things are far better than he expected.
The goddess Abigail is not only in the plane, but also has established a sufficient foundation of faith.
At the same time, he paved the way for himself among his own devout followers, so that when the time came, it would be convenient to borrow this power for his own use.
It is better to hear than to see it with your own eyes.
With the Goddess Abigail's heroic battle against the eight Shadow Masters as the starting hand, Sean is the prophecy of the Goddess Abigail, and she sent her to help the Abigail people get out of this desperate situation in front of them.
plus Sean's previous display of considerable combat effectiveness.
was immediately treated as a guest of honor by the Emerald City, and he knew all the answers to the various questions raised by Sean, and answered them endlessly, allowing Sean to understand the situation of Abigail's plane in the past hundred years in the fastest time, as well as the general situation now.
The total collapse of the Abigail plane in front of him is obviously not an overnight thing, but it took a full hundred years, and the cataclysm that the Abigail World Tree rose from the ground was only a short twenty years, which was shorter than the time when the Eternal Night Army was established.
At this point in time, it can be compared with the beasts of the Ashane continent to mutate into a large-scale explosion, and it can be matched.
It is impossible for the magic energy of the Sean plane to explode out of thin air.
Obviously, there is a causal relationship with the total collapse of the Abigail plane.
At the beginning of the cataclysm, the intelligent life conditions of the Abigail plane were similar to the situation of the Ashane continent, which was also in a state of fragmentation, divided into different races and kingdoms to conquer each other.
Their situation is even more complicated than that of the continent of Ashan, because their racial differences are even greater, both in size and lifestyle.
The main inhabitants of the Emerald City, where Sean is now located, were called the Children of Nature and the People of the Forest before the Cataclysm, and they themselves have an extraordinary affinity with nature, especially the forest, and many even have the ability to manipulate the attack and growth of plants and trees.
Most of the forests and plains of the continent are entrenched by them.
Sean prefers to call them elves, though.
The other major terrestrial race are the Sons of the Rock, who are natural blacksmiths, warriors, and cave diggers who dig through the mountains to build their own impregnable fortresses.
They are the main contenders on the land of the Abigail Elves, and the two sides have a millennial war that can be called a generational blood feud.
The third main human race is the darling of the sea, the fish-people, who are born herders and fishermen, the masters of the sea, and their main habitat is naturally the archipelago in the sea, as well as the coast of the mainland.
They are also on the coast of the sea, and have a territorial dispute with the Abigail elves.
Whether it is Abigail Elf, Abigail Dwarf, Yang or Abigail Fishman, according to their skin color, natural ability, and place of residence, they are divided into several races, such as Forest Elves, Prairie Elves, Snow Elves, Sky Elves, Lava Dwarves, Gray Dwarves, Copper Dwarves, Reef Fish Men, and Tidal Fishmen.
These Seans do not have an in-depth understanding, after all, this division has become a thing of the past with the cataclysm, and all the intelligent beings in the Abigail plane can be called Abigails, let alone within these races.
In the face of an even greater catastrophe, the hatred that once existed would be insignificant, and in order to survive, they would have to work together.
Before the Cataclysm, few people recognized the threat of the Shadow Master from beyond the plane.
Let the owners of these nightmares, take advantage of the hatred between their races.
The entire Abigail plane erupted in a great melee that lasted for half a century, with countless casualties.
By the time the rulers found out that something was wrong, the consequences had already been laid.
Pestilences are rampant, weather anomalies, leylines tremble, volcanic eruptions, earth cracks, and undead rage.
The most important thing is that the spokespersons who are quietly supported by the Shadow Masters began to open the door and take the initiative to invite those Shadow Masters to come in.
The next twenty years were a year of slaughter.
Either the Shadow Lords don't show up, or if they do, they slaughter the city on a massive scale.
The slaughtered population is less than one-half of the surviving population of the entire Abigail plane, and one-third is definitely there.
At that time, faith was lost, and more creatures, in order to save their lives, had to join the command of the Shadow Lady and mutilated their former people.
This continued until the day of the cataclysm when the Abigail World Tree broke ground.
In a way, Abigail's World Tree was the initiator of the Cataclysm.
Because of it, the earth was completely torn apart, volcanoes erupted, and seawater poured in.
But no one can blame its appearance.
Because before that, the Shadow Lords had torn down a huge hole in the sky.
Regardless of which hole the Shadow Master tries to get into, that hole also has a terrifying suction, which will not only suck away the people and animals around it, but also the seawater, which will be swept up to the sky and never returned.
That's when the sky is falling in the truest sense of the word.
The Abigail World Tree is the last counterattack of the laws of the plane, spawned at any cost, and made up for the dew of the sky.
The rest of the matter is what Sean saw.
The city inhabited by the elves was separated in place and lifted into the air.
The mountains inhabited by the dwarves were wrapped in thicker roots, and became part of the Abigail World Tree.
The corals and islands inhabited by the fish people sink into the depths of the ocean and are absorbed by the rhizomes that sink into the ground.
The latter two, like the Abigail Elves, did not die out, but were also protected by the Abigail World Tree, and relied on its gift to maintain and survive.
Geographically, they are far apart from what they were before the cataclysm.
But in heart and soul, they are more closely connected than before, even if the two sides are separated by tens of thousands of kilometers, they may be able to meet in the next second.
Because the Abigail plane also has its own second world, the Abigail dream.
Goddess Abigail relies on the World Tree to build a network of soul thoughts.
This is not only a platform for them to communicate and cultivate, but also a main place for their entertainment.
Because the condition of these Abigails is very similar to Sean, who was in the energy vortex at the beginning.
These cities, which are shrouded in urban protective shields, even if their protective tools are their cages, there is no way to leave them lightly.
As for the most basic supplies they need to survive, they are, of course, obtained from the Abigail World Tree.
The sap that flows from its body is the sweetest drink.
The fruit on it is the best nourishment.
The new shoots are ready to be picked and eaten as freshly baked bread.
Although the variety is a little simpler, it provides enough nutrients to maintain their survival.
This new way of life, while a little worse, is at least not to the point of despair.
Many people even like this kind of parasite-like life, and think that it is good to maintain it in this way.
Only some wise people believe that this way of life is not reliable and even more dangerous than before.
Because they have placed their lives entirely on the Abigail World Tree, once something goes wrong with the World Tree, this fragile balance will be upset, and they will be pushed into a desperate situation, and those enemies outside the cage will rush in and kill them, they will starve to death in the cage first.
They have never forgotten the terrifying existence that Abigail World Tree forced back in the process of mending the sky.
I believe that they will not give up, and must be trying to break through the cage again and descend into this world.
Unexpectedly, this situation came faster and more violently than they expected.
Two weeks ago, Abigail's dream completely collapsed, and everyone's soul consciousness was bounced out of it, and no one was able to enter it again.
Immediately after that, the protective shield of divine power that was guarding the city began to slowly weaken, and countless twisted nightmares appeared out of nowhere and launched an attack on their city.
