Chapter 17: The World Tree
Zeus, although he was personally reduced to a mortal by his wife because of his flowery heart, since then, I am afraid that he will never be able to regain his godhead and regain his divine power.
But his nether realm this time has an extremely far-reaching impact on the meaning of this world.
The prophet, and Zeus's meaningful preaching, inspired the mind.
He began to use his teleportation skills to fly and gallop around all corners of the continent.
Everywhere he went, he used Veroditia's great love to infect every person and every living being.
He asked everyone to go to the outside world to find the shrines left over from antiquity, or ruins to serve as their shelter.
In the seconds before Veroditia's fall, he dropped a seed into the crevice of a mountain, and this seed, which contained the purest power of the goddess of the tree, finally gave birth to a new lifeform, the Prophet.
And this mountain is also the ancient ruins left by the ancient giant gods when they used to seal the white lifeforms.
This seed not only gave birth to a prophet, but also cultivated an incomparably lush sacred tree, re-strengthening the already somewhat dilapidated shrine and filling it with solid gold.
During this whole gestation process, the Prophet had already felt the powerful power from the ruins, which not only warmed him, provided him with all the power he needed to grow with the Divine Tree, but also gave him a super elemental control far beyond that of ordinary elemental messengers.
In the previous fight with Zeus, the "Wrath of Nature" he used has proved this very well.
Therefore, in the eyes of the prophets, as long as human beings find the shrines and ruins scattered in this world, and worship and maintain them, human beings living nearby can be protected by the power of the shrines.
Of course, things turned out as the prophet had predicted.
When humans began to build homes around the shrine, the shrine began to help humans resist waves of demonic beasts as if they were spiritual.
And as time passed, after humans had been bathed in the power of the shrine for a long time, they began to slowly find that their strength increased, and their hearing, perception, and many aspects of their physical abilities were improved to varying degrees.
Only, that's all.
It is still very far from what the prophet hoped that human beings could use this power to cultivate more elemental messengers to strengthen the human race.
If humanity can only rely on the protection of the shrine and shrink into the world forever, it is only a matter of time before humanity comes to an end.
Just when the prophet was extremely distressed, he suddenly found that the sacred tree that had cultivated himself had begun to bear round fruits with a translucent body and a color like jade.
The moment the first fruit fell into the prophet's mouth, he felt the surrounding elemental power surging towards him like a tide, and the pores of his whole body were also extremely open, absorbing the endless waves of elemental power around him with great greed.
He opened his eyes suddenly, as if the problem that had plagued him for years had finally been answered.
He did not hesitate to pluck all the fruits from the sacred tree and distribute them among the various human groups.
Anyone who swallows this fruit will gain the ability to perceive elemental forces more easily than others, making it easier for them to learn various magics and become elemental messengers that people have revered for generations.
All of a sudden, the number of elemental messengers rose dramatically, and tribes or races led by elemental messengers began to emerge in all corners of the continent.
Although the number of such fruits is very limited, it does not give the entire human race the ability to fight against demonic beasts in one fell swoop, but everyone believes that as long as humans are given enough time, they will definitely become the masters of this world.
In order to thank the prophet for his contribution to mankind, almost all mankind worshipped him as the leader of mankind, and named the fruit that can give people extraordinary perception as the Tree Sacrifice, and this sacred tree located on the ancient ruins is also revered by later generations as the "World Tree".
Since then, mankind has written magnificent chapters on the continent with the World Tree as the core.
Lamenting the mountains, the entire ecosystem has completely collapsed since it withstood the ravages of the Storm Spirit.
Not only was the entire mountain range unrecognizable, but the humans and beasts that inhabited the mountains had all left here.
Originally, the people who lamented the plain village were extremely reluctant, but they were afraid that the soil here would not be able to cultivate crops for decades to come, so they had to choose to leave.
Just when the creatures in the Lamentation Mountains are choosing to leave this place, a tribe called the "Oyu Society" has always stuck to the ground of an abandoned capital in the Lamentation Mountains, a place they call "Escape Village".
This tribe called the "Oyu Society" is actually a fairly ancient race, they are not humans, but they are the race that appeared in this world before humans.
The ruins of the abandoned city they guarded are a good proof that they have a civilization far older than humans, but for some reason, their civilization has unfortunately perished.
They have never been able to abandon the glory of their ancestors, so they have built a massive underworld under the ruins.
They have a peculiar appearance, they have a feline-like, panda-like look, but it is clear that they are more humane than the former.
Their eyes were clear and bright, full of spirituality that represented wisdom, and their hands and feet, although they still maintained the hair and hooves of a beast, they did not feel the slightest hint of the smell of a beast.
Their ability to walk and move with humans, as well as their normal verbal communication, is yet another powerful proof that they are a highly intelligent species that is far more powerful than humans.
The power they worship comes entirely from a legend.
In the ancient legal code of the Oyu Society, it is recorded that a demigod who led the Oyu tribe to glory, the Brewmaster.
It is said that in a distant era, when human beings had not yet appeared, and highly intelligent beings had just descended into this world, the tribe of Oyu Society appeared.
It's just that in that era when Warcraft was rampant, it was extremely difficult for highly intelligent creatures to survive in such a complex environment.
At this moment, the wine fairy appeared, he harnessed the wind, trampled the earth, bathed in fire, and with the posture of an undefeated god of war, with the strength of one person, he successfully won a precious living space for the entire Oyu tribe in the era of rampant demonic beasts.
Since then, the ancient tribe of the Oyu Society has expanded its territory more and more with the help of square inches.
According to the legal code, the territory of the Oyu Society in its heyday occupied almost the entire current mountain range of lamentations, which can be described as a vast ancient and modern period, creating indispensable conditions for the emergence of human beings in the future.
However, behind all this brilliance, too heavy a burden has been placed on the wine fairy.
He can't fall, once the wine fairy falls, the entire Oyu tribe is afraid that it will fall completely.
As a result, the brew began to raise new successors in the tribe.
However, before the wine fairy could find a suitable candidate to take his place, something strange fell from the sky, and the wine fairy left inexplicably.
And what happened next was exactly what the brewmaster had predicted.
The Oyu tribe, which had lost its backbone, was directly devastated, and the rivers and mountains that had been fought hard were slowly swallowed up by the demonic beasts that were surging around.
Although during this period, the Oyu Society successfully selected several Brewmasters in accordance with the wishes of the first Brew Fairy, but perhaps the deeds created by the first Brew Fairy were too brilliant, and these successors could no longer recreate the glory of the past, and they did not even have the ability to protect this glory.
Until now, the ruins have almost become the only remaining glorious witness of the Oyu Society tribe, which can't help but make people sigh.
But even so, the Oyu tribe did not give up, and they still lived in the underground retreat village for generations, trying to wait for the next wine fairy who would be able to lead the Oyu Society back to glory.
The Prophet, by chance, discovered the existence of this ancient tribe.
He took the "Tree Sacrifice" and came to the patriarch of the Oyu tribe.
The patriarch of the Oyu tribe is an old man who has a lifespan of more than two hundred years.
Compared to the old age of human beings, they could not find anything in their whole body that matched their age, except for their wrinkled skin and pale hair.
This old man who is not good-looking actually has another identity, that is, the current wine fairy of the Oyu tribe.
Holding a short tent in his hand, but his waist was unusually straight, he said to the Prophet, "Thank you, Great Prophet, for giving such a precious Tree Sacrifice to our tribe. ”
Looking at the somewhat domineering old man in front of him, the prophet's eyes couldn't help but flicker slightly.
Perhaps because of the height and glory that the Oyu Society tribe once reached, the people of this tribe are born with a kind of superior arrogance, even if the current Oyu Society is not as good as before, but this arrogance has not weakened at all, but has become more prominent.
Compared to the etiquette and reverence shown by other races in receiving the Prophet, the arrogance of the Oyu Society is simply unreasonable.
It's just that the prophet didn't dwell too much on this issue, but just briefly explained a few words and then left.
Watching the prophet teleport away, the old man's face immediately changed, and he hurriedly returned to his tribe, and gathered more than a dozen high-ranking tribal elders in the tribe to discuss how to distribute this precious "Tree Sacrifice".
In fact, for the current Oyu tribe, it is particularly important to find a reasonable heir to the next wine fairy in time, and the emergence of the "Tree Sacrifice" is undoubtedly an important turning point.
Because the old man knew very well in his heart that although he was a wine fairy, the powerlessness brought about by old age had made him unable to continue to be competent.
So, he had to make a choice on behalf of the entire Oyu tribe.
