1 World tree

Do humans really have souls?

Ther is a dark world.

Looking at the endless darkness in front of her, Kana fell into deep thought.

First of all, I can be sure that I really died, and then I came to the strange space.

Although Kana didn't know why she still retained consciousness, she was obviously trapped here.

loneliness, darkness.

The only thing I can see are two twinkling light groups, one blue and the other green.

Kana tried to reach out her hand, and then found that she had no body, it seemed to be just a mass of consciousness.

But fortunately, I seem to be able to move like a cloud.

Could it be...this is the soul?

Kana suddenly thought.

After a moment of contemplation, Kana floated tentatively towards the two entangled light clusters.

The green one is very big, and it glimer, giving Kana a wonderful sense of mystery.

The blue one is very small, it is very soft, giving Kana an incredible closeness.

After thinking for a few seconds, Kana decided to contact the latter first.

However, when Kana was trying to touch, countless faint prayers suddenly echoed in the space...

The voice is ethereal, soft, and sacred. It seems to have a wonderful power that makes people calm down involuntarily.

Kana was surprised, and turned her attention away, and found that the sound seemed to be coming from the green light group.

The sound of prayer was intermittent. It was a language that Kana had never heard before, but it gave Kana a wonderful sense of grace.

Kana couldn't understand the content, but she seemed to be able to perceive the countless sentimentality and despair contained in her voice.

Curiosity triumphed over everything.

Ghostly, Kana diverted her attention and touched the green light ball.

The moment Kana touched the light group, the whole world suddenly changed.

Consciousness fell into a trance for an instant, and a huge amount of information surged like an explosion.

Kana only felt that her vision went black, and then countless images appeared in her consciousness——

A vast ancient continent...

A mysterious seed that fell from the sky...

A strange giant tree that broke out of the ground...

Beautiful figures born from trees...

"Elf...?"

Looking at the figure that often appeared in magical RPG game of that previous life, her thought flashed through Kana's consciousness.

Before Kana could continue to think about something, the green light group produced a strong suction force, and sucked it in for an instant...

...

"Capture the right soul."

"The condition is triggered to start the world tree awakening ceremony."

In the dimness, Kana heard a strange voice.

The is a strange language, but Kana was surprised to find that she could understand it.

As soon as voice fell, Kana's eyes brightened.

Kana found herself in a world surrounded by countless green photons.

It was countless flying green balls of light, brilliant and dreamy, beyond words to describe.

what's the situation?

Kana was stunned.

"Start the soul fusion, start the world tree inheritance ceremony..."

The voice sounded again, and then countless flying particles began to flood Kana's body.

Kana only felt that a powerful and mysterious force poured into her body, accompanied by countless information.

With the fusion, Kana felt that her five senses became clearer and clearer, and the mysterious prayer sounded in the dark, and at the same time became clearer.

With the fusion of photons, Kana's consciousness began to bloom with divine brilliance, and the light green energy continued to converge until it swallowed the entire space...

At the last second, Kana heard the strange voice again:

"The integration is successful."

"Welcome to your return, the new world tree on the continent of Augury——"

"Alea Eldtrellen."

...

When consciousness was awake again, Alea fell into thought.

She is no longer in that weird space. On the contrary, She seems to have come to a world full of life.

In the distance are rolling mountains, surrounded by dense forests.

If you ignore the plants in the forest that are obviously different from those on the earth, Alea even suspects that she has come to the primeval forest.

It's just that the forests and mountains are too small...

Ther kind of feeling is very strange, it's like taking part in Ultraman's special film, and it's like being in the Lilliputian Country. Alea feels like she is looking down at everything in the world.

The mountains are small, and the forests are small. Even the birds in the sky are like flies.

And her vision is very weird, it is 360 degrees without dead angles, the kind that can never be imagined in the previous life...

Attention shifted slightly, and Alea saw a palm-sized lake not far away.

The lake was sparkling with blue waves, extremely clear, clearly revealing her reflection——

Alea's strong roots, huge and lofty body, and branches that cover the sky and the sun.

Combined with the information that just poured into her mind, Alea quickly got the answer:

"world Tree?"

World Tree-Eldtrellen.

She is hailed as the root of nature, the mother god of elves, the miracle of life...

She is a mysterious existence that is as old as the history of a dragon on the continent of Augury. She is a true mythical creature, and her power is equal to that of a god.

"It's really a world tree..."

Looking at the withered leaves in the reflection, Alea's heart didn't know whether it was emotion happy or sorrow.

After sorting out the inherited information, Alea almost figured out her current situation.

She traveled through a magical world called Augury.

As a member of the traverser army, she... seems to be selected by the dying world tree. The soul merges with the core of the mother tree and the remaining memory and inheritance, while retaining her own consciousness, becoming the new world tree- Alea Eldtrellen.

The half-dead kind.

The World Tree inheritance seems to have some kind of strange power to calm the mind. Alea did not feel any panic or sense of helplessness in her heart. On the contrary, she was a little surprised to find that she was extremely calm at the moment, and there was even a hint of joy in her heart...

"Happy..."

is indeed joy,

The joy of the rest of your life.

Incorporating the inheritance of the World Tree, Alea already knew that she was out of shit.

As a soul wandering in the void, if there is no accident, what is waiting for her is bound to be destroyed, but her crossing and fusion has given her a new life.

I am... alive again?"

Looking at the reflection in the lake, feeling the current strange body, Alea's heart is full of curiosity.

But at the same time, she also felt a certain sense of decline in her body.

There is no doubt that her current state is not good. It can be seen from the reflection in the lake that the dead branches and leaves are completely dying.

But even so, Alea can still feel a certain powerful and ancient power deep in her body, full of vitality, ready to move, and seems to have just awakened from sher sleep...

At the same time, a strange feeling arose spontaneously.

It is a feeling of controlling the world. Alea feels like she is the king of ther world. If she wants to, she can dominate everything within a few kilometers.

can't stop as soon as the thought comes out, Alea looks at a dead oak tree not far away, and her heart moves slightly.

And following her thoughts, strange things happened.

I saw that dead tree immediately regained the brilliance of life and began to sprout and spread its leaves. Only a few seconds later, it became luxuriant again. Not only that, Alea also found that she seemed to have some kind of wonderful connection with the other party. It seems that you can manipulate everything about each other.

But in the same way, she found that the hidden power in her body began to consume rapidly, and it dissipated one-third of it in a blink of an eye, scaring her to stop the recovery of the dead tree quickly.

Alea, who has integrated the core of the world tree, knows that that kind of power is life energy, and it is also the power source of the world tree, or...natural power.

Once it runs out, the World Tree will fall into a deep sleep.

That also means Alea's death.

Perceiving only two-thirds of the natural divine power left, Alea felt a little pain.

She didn't expect that just trying to "enlighten" would produce such a huge consumption.

Focusing on the dead wood that has just been injected with natural power, Alea's heart is slightly strange.

The dead wood at ther moment has completely changed its appearance. Not only has it become luxuriant again, but it is also nearly three times taller than before.

In contrast to the surrounding trees, Alea guessed tha her rejuvenated oak tree might be at least 30 meters high...

And then, a scene that surprised her happened.

I saw her lucky oak tree trembled slightly, and it was struggling to extract its roots from the soil.

The twisted roots of the tree twisted and twisted and turned into two weird legs, while the branches were drawn into two thick arms, the crown turned into hideous hair, and a pair of piercing eyes appeared at the top of the trunk... …

In a blink of an eye, the opponent turned into a majestic tree man!

Under Alea's surprised gaze, the 30-meter-high oak tree man shook the soil on his legs, then turned tremblingly to the direction of the World Tree, kneeling on her knees, his voice full of excitement.

"Praise Mother of Nature... Oak Tree Guardian thank you for your favor, please give a name Mother of Nature!"

Mother of Nature? The Oak Guard? Name?

Looking at the pocket-sized oak guard in front of her, Alea twitched her mouth in her heart.

At the same time, she felt as if she had some kind of connection with the other party, as if she could directly convey instructions.

A hint of mischief rose to her mind, Alea's thoughts moved slightly, and a divine, majestic and ethereal voice suddenly sounded in the heart of the Oak Guardian:

"In that case, you are called Berserker!"
