Soul of Negary
chapter-403-30041322

Without any doubts, that gigantic withered tree was none other than the past Moon Tree, which was now completely dead, while the seven spears on it were the curses of the Seven Gods.

As for the figure that was pinned on the tree, that was definitely the will of the Moon Tree.

Because it was the entity worshipped by the entire elven race, combined with its true form originally being a living life form, when it gathered enough consciousness to form a personality, its will manifested as an individual.

In reality, its consciousness was gigantic, even more so than the current Negary. If it hadn't been weakened by the Seven Gods and pinned to its dead body with the seven curse spears, its will could easily reach every corner of this world in an instant.

The will of the Moon Tree was currently at its weakest, while it was originally even more powerful compared to Eternal Heat at its peak, wielding a complete Pathway with almost no weaknesses.

Unfortunately, it was a battle of 10 vs 4; indeed, it was originally a group of 10 Pathway Entities that invaded the Moon Tree world. One of them died in the war, while the other two were pushed to their deaths by the Seven Gods, even information of their existence had already been completely erased by the Seven Gods to ensure that they could never resurrect.

The Seven Gods literally treated these three 'comrades' of theirs even worse than they treated the elves.

In the end, losers don't get to voice their opinions, and it was a total of 7 Gods who ultimately stood triumphant. Although, this total might decrease again during this occasion.

The Half Life Church, the Ascetic Order, a group of women in extremely raunchy clothing, a group of sea creatures that stank of fish, several people in pure-black garb, as well as the group from the Sun Shadow church, which made up the complete forces of 6 out of the Seven Gods.

Among them, The Unreachable Gate had no forces of his own. Part of this was because his worshippers couldn't accurately observe his information, while the other part was because he had no way of blessing his worshippers, which ended up with The Unreachable Gate's forces being a no-show every time.

The spear that almost couldn't be observed at all on the will of the Moon Tree's body was the curse of The Unreachable Gate, which restricted the will of the Moon Tree's growth and the majority of its ability, ensuring that the will of the Moon Tree would never be able to turn the situation around.

When their agreement was established in the past, it was only after the Seven Gods had agreed to prevent anyone and everyone from studying these curse spears that The Unreachable Gate set up this curse. Otherwise, with his power being on constant display right here, there was a possibility of someone observing his Pathway and reaching the true him.

Compared to the Half Life Church, the God's Offering group of the Sun Shadow church appeared a lot like a rag-tag group. The others were also observing them with gazes full of hostility, especially the group of women and the sea creatures.

〖 Red Tears and Eulogy of the Ocean Depths did not fall into slumber 〗the golden beads commented from an unknown aspect of reality. Negary wasn't surprised by this at all, since Mequik was the one who established that trap, she naturally had the method to undo it.

As the condition for rescuing them, she pulled two other Righteous Gods to her side, jointly opposing Eternal Heat, combined with her secret cooperation with Negary and other hidden trump cards, there was a possibility of them defeating Eternal Heat.

Of course, it was still only a possibility. Both Red Tears and Eulogy of the Ocean Depths had been heavily injured, so it was hard to say just how much power they could still exert, not to mention how Eternal Heat had already prepared for this situation.

〖 So it will be 2 against 6? 〗Negary asked Eternal Heat, his words carrying a hint of probing.

If all of them fully cooperated, even though The Unreachable Gate was the only one who wasn't restrained at all in any way, it would still be a force beyond Eternal Heat's capabilities.

「 Concealed Demise will not oppose me; this was part of my covenant for helping him in the past 」the halo next to him shifted a bit. Eternal Heat now appeared as the Sun in the sky as he transmitted information to Negary.

「 And I also have other supports 」Eternal Heat didn't explain in detail. Meanwhile, the ritual for God's Offering had also begun.

Several Decanters of God's Offering were placed next to the withered Moon Tree, after which the souls within poured out and gathered at the center of the Moon Tree. At the same time, a bit of blood also flowed out from the Decanters; this was the blood of evil, or rather, the elven bloodline cursed by the Seven Gods.

This blood flowed together with the souls towards the figure pinned on the tree.

As the blood flowed into the figure's body, the skinny, withered figure began to shift, but as the seven spears began to give off light, the figure swiftly became motionless again as blood slowly seeped out from the body along the spears.

As the blood reached the ends of each spear, it condensed into a sphere of blood, after which the soul fluid rapidly rushed towards the spheres of blood. Being imbued with this soul fluid, the spheres of blood gradually grew larger and began to incubate new life.

〖 A large amount of Source Energy mixed with the curses of the Seven Gods, combining with a large number of souls in order to create a super life form 〗

〖 Because the Moon Tree was originally also the Tree of Life, incubating life is its natural instinct. This was taken advantage of in order to siphon Source Energy away from the world 〗

Negary thought to himself.

〖 As long as the curses are dispelled from these life forms, anyone would be able to harvest them and obtain a large amount of Source Energy 〗

From what Negary could observe from the seven incubating life forms, each of them contained several thousands of units of Source Energy, which would be enough for a lower world to undergo so-called rejuvenation of spirit energy, global evolution, or similar changes.

If these life forms were allowed to mature naturally, each of them would be the same as Eulogy of the Ocean Depths, born with extraordinary talents as well as having a much easier time manifesting a Pathway for themselves. Of course, the prerequisite was for the curses to be dispelled from them.

After completing the God's Offering ritual, the members of each Church swiftly began to retreat. What would occur next was no longer something they could be involved with.

Of course, it was also possible for them to remain and witness the face of their God, as the Gods did not care about such things. In the past, there had always been crazed fanatics who insisted on remaining with the resolve to die after witnessing 'Truth'.

Following past procedures, the Seven Gods would now each dispel their curse and retrieve their own Source Energy fruit.

But obviously, the normal process would not occur during this occasion, as Eternal Heat's true self directly descended upon this place. Under the glorious light, everything else appeared dim and gloomy, as if the only thing that remained in the world was the Sun in the sky as well as its radiance.

Perhaps it was because of the rebellion that occurred earlier that wavered the faith of the Sun Shadow church's worshippers, but quite a few of them remained this time around.

The worshippers who remained now peered straight into the face of God, then prostrated themselves with tears raining down their faces. If any of them were to survive, their discerning eyes would greatly change after this, as they had seen God and reflected the Pathway of God with their own eyes.

But quite obviously, it was impossible for any of them to survive after this. The other Gods swiftly descended as well, each of them radiating their Pathways into the world, filling this area with the Principles and Ideals that carried their clashing personal brands.

The worshippers who remained instantly exploded into nothingness; their souls were distorted then destroyed under these clashing Principles and Ideals, even their [Origins] were somewhat affected by it. Even if they reincarnated, they would only be born as insane people, having to go through an unknown number of reincarnations in order to remove these distortions.

As the golden beads drifted into the vicinity, for the very first time, Negary also appeared displaying his own Pathway.

Like an ancient tree, several dozen branches of Principles extended from the base, but only a few of them had been completely controlled by Negary. There was still plenty of imbalance within it, otherwise, his Pathway would have been fully manifested already.
