Reincarnated as incubus: I didn't mean to seduce you!-Chapter 1253 - 344: The Fall of the World Tree

"Damn, damn, damn, is this the Floating City that Brother Kael controls now? This is way too cool!"

"Honestly, this kind of fully automated Floating City basically doesn't need external interference anymore, right? I took a look, and now the entire Titan Floating City seems to have transformed into various special functional modules."

"What are you talking about? Have you noticed the current guards of the Titan Floating City?"

"What guards?"

"Use your detection skills to scan those giant statues outside the city walls; you'll get a surprising surprise!"

"Let me see... Damn, what is this? An energy level LV35 Magic Prohibition Stone alloy golem?"

"LV35? Are you kidding me? Do you know what level LV35 is? Above the Holy Land, Legendary Golem; even across the entire continent, there aren't many golems of this level, right? Don't try to refute me; I am 'Mouse-Eye,' a professional intelligence collector."

"No one wants to refute you. The problem is that all this is real. I just scouted the perimeter along the city walls, estimated the interval between Magic Prohibition Stone alloy golems, and this Floating City has about 210 golems with energy levels of around LV35."

"Actually, it's not too bad; after careful calculation, these golems' challenge level is roughly at the entry-level of legendary strength, and compared to those top-tier legendary strongmen that can utilize domains, there's still quite a noticeable gap."

"How many on the whole continent can fully expand their domains, huh? And how many legendary golems are on the Floating City now? Don't forget, Brother Kael can create one, naturally, he can create a second. If he can create over 200, he can continue to replicate up to thousands more."

"Makes sense, the person above is right. I think at this rate, the number of legendary beings promoted across the continent each year might not even match the number of new legendary golems created by Brother Kael, right?"

"My King of Mages, owning unrivaled legendary golems across the continent, that's reasonable, right?"

"In the Ganges, too reasonable."

"Damn, don't focus all your attention on the golems, okay? Those of you with flying skills, just fly a bit higher and use a detection skill on the ground of the Floating City below; it'll likely blind your eyes."

"Let me try... Damn! This, this, this—the entire Floating City is all modular golems, meaning the whole Floating City is a living creature! I feel like my eyes are about to go blind!"

"Can you see the level?"

"LV51: Titan Golem/King of Gluttony. That's all I can see; not a single detailed piece of information is detectable—all are asterisks. Anyone unfamiliar might think it's some kind of unspeakable cosmic wrath!"

"Kael, my god!"

...

The news instantly exploded in the forum.

As this information spread, some interested parties quickly gleaned from players the horror of Titan Floating City.

...

[Location: The High Forest]

The Forest Emperor sat on the Elf King's throne, raising his head to gaze at the resplendent World Tree.

Currently, the Elf Clan's faith in the Life God has gradually started to revert to the newborn World Tree.

The unprecedented power of the Floating City has made the World Tree Floating City a symbol of supreme power for the Elf Clan.

As it turns out, what's called faith is a very tenuous thing.

Without the deity's protection, the Life God Church, when confronted with reality, eventually takes it for what it is.

The World Tree is truly the future for the Elf Clan.

When the Elves deeply realized this point, they understood who was worthy of their faith.

Inadvertently, as everything converged toward the World Tree, the situation of the World Tree Floating City underwent a fundamental change.

The greatest change brought about by the reunification of faith is that the primordial power of the World Tree Floating City is constantly strengthening.

Even more terrifying, with the World Tree's regrowth, the biologically activated Floating City seems to be developing could lead toward some unknown direction.

The Forest Emperor felt that at this rate of development, the entire World Tree Floating City might directly become biologically active, becoming symbiotic with the World Tree, or even become the World Tree itself.

But by the time it reaches that stage, he might have to face one question: whether the biologically active World Tree Floating City is controlled by the Elf Clan or becomes the World Tree's will standing over the Elf Clan.

This is absolutely unacceptable for the Forest Emperor.

The entire continent paid a heavy price to bring the deities down from the divine throne; he did not want the World Tree, the mother tree of the Elf Clan, to become a potential danger to the Elf Clan's future just like that.

By that time, it might be the tragic future of faith collapse for the Elf Clan.

One must know that not having faith in deities does not mean having no faith.

Whether human or elf, they always need a place to rest their hearts.

In the past, it was the uncontrolled deities; now, it can be a relatively more controlled World Tree.

This is his straightforward thought.

He, the Forest Emperor, seeks the future for his clansmen...

Until he learned about the situation of the Titan Floating City from that group of undead.

The Forest Emperor stood under the World Tree, raising his head to look at the mother tree that had always sheltered them, sighing heavily:

"Mother Tree of the Elves, how can I lead the Elf Clan toward a better future? We've clearly pushed down one mountain with our hands, but now we've raised another mountain.

All underestimated the potential of Helois Monarch, or rather, everyone was deceived by Helois Monarch. Yes, he only truly embarked on his path after tricking the Prince of Lies and murdering that Shirek.

Now, with him and the Yibel Federation, there's no way to keep them in check."

"Then eat me..." A gentle voice echoed.

The Forest Emperor was stunned, looking up at the World Tree.

"So you had already awakened consciousness?"

"That phrasing is not quite right; I have always silently watched over my children. It's just that I am merely a tree, perhaps possessing many unique abilities but still not a living being like you, capable of free movement."

The gentle voice of the World Tree rang out, yet what it said next plunged the Forest Emperor into deeper confusion: "If you fear that I will become a new shadow cast over you, then let my will integrate completely into every part of your bodies.

From today onward, the World Tree no longer exists — the path ahead will be one you must walk yourselves."

The Forest Emperor stared blankly at the swaying branches of the World Tree, and suddenly tears flowed down his face.

"Thank you, our mother..."

When he uttered those words, he seemed to see countless rays of light descend from the World Tree in a daze.

The light flowed with the wind into every corner of the High Forest, integrating into every life with Elf blood.

Suddenly, almost all Elves felt that the subtle yet constant connection between themselves and the World Tree was severed.

At this moment, they came to their senses, an unprecedented sorrow welled up in their hearts.

It was as if something important inside was missing.

However, at that very moment, the voice of the Forest Emperor spread throughout the entire High Forest.

"People of the High Forest, lift your heads and witness this scene; remember this day well. From now on, we have no more protection; the path ahead is one we walk ourselves.

Mother World Tree has never left us; she hides deep within every Elf bloodline. The path we tread is the tendrils she stretches toward the world. From this moment on, the barriers isolating the High Forest from the outside will be completely unlocked.

Everyone, be prepared to leave behind the useless pride we held as the rulers of the era. From now on, we will return to an era of struggle and survival, just like wild beasts."

After the Forest Emperor finished speaking, he looked up at the dim World Tree.

The dispersal of the World Tree's consciousness meant the World Tree Floating City no longer needed to restrain its growth.

Helois Monarch, be mentally prepared; we won't stay stagnant where we are.
