I ascend to the throne of God with arcane magic.

Chapter 457 [World Tree: Original Baptism]

Gaia World, the Heart of the World,
Li Si floated quietly in the air, looking at the World Tree Yggdrasil that suddenly appeared in front of him, and had no idea what was going on.

He appeared here after being enveloped by the sudden colorful light.

Although I guessed that Demogorgon’s plan was related to the World Tree, why did he appear here?

It certainly wasn't Demogorgon who did it. If possible, he could just strangle Li Si to death. Why bother with so much effort?

Most importantly, although Li Si felt that the dreamy colorful lights surrounding his body contained extremely powerful power, he did not feel any threat.

It seemed that the World Tree in front of him was protecting him?

Li Si was a little undecided, and he didn't know how to communicate with this great being in front of him.

In previous games, all the information about the World Tree Yggdrasil was learned from books and legends, and no game player had ever claimed that he had seen the World Tree with his own eyes.

The World Tree is different from the gods. After all, in the later version of "Ragnarok", all the gods fell from their thrones in the sky and became saints walking in the world.

Therefore, gods are not so unfamiliar to players.

But the World Tree is truly a vague legend.

Li Si didn't expect that he would suddenly come here and stand in front of the World Tree.

Li Si looked around. This vast and infinite space seemed to have no boundaries. Apart from the world tree in front of Li Si, he did not see any other objects.

wrong!

Li Si noticed that at an unknown distance behind him, there was a pitch-black figure suspended in the void, and the colorful light surrounding that figure was many times richer than the light around Li Si.

If Li Si got closer, he would be able to see black fragments peeling off from the dark figure from time to time, and then being swallowed up and obliterated by the colorful light that was rushing over.

Li Si looked at the somewhat familiar figure and was a little surprised.

Isn't that him?
No. No!

That's his mirror clone!

what's the situation?
Li Si frowned. He was very sure that he had chosen to dissipate the mirror clone before.

The best proof is that the mirror body's memory has returned to its original body.

Li Si carefully observed the clone, and his resolute expression was like a black drop of water frozen in time as Li Si resolutely used his clone to take on Demogorgon.

The power in the black water droplets is likely to come from the endless abyss. Only the power of the abyss can be more powerful than the impact that Demogorgon's divine power brings to Li Si!
and many more!
Li Si turned his head and looked at the half-withered World Tree not far away.

In his eyes, half of the trunk of the World Tree had turned into a deep black, along with its huge crown, thick trunk, and even criss-crossing roots. It seemed out of place with the vibrant green on the other side.

And in the withered half, the feeling of death, destruction, and chaos that came from the endless abyss was extremely striking, and even made Li Si's eyes feel a stinging and burning sensation.

In this state of the World Tree, life and death seem to occupy their own areas clearly and compete with each other.

So, Demogorgon’s plan is to let the power of the Endless Abyss pollute the entire World Tree?
Li Si looked quietly at the World Tree in front of him, and his previous guesses were confirmed bit by bit.

Therefore, Demogorgon destroyed the Elf King's Court, extracted the blood of the Sun Elves, collected the Elf slaves, etc., all in order to open a space passage leading to the space where the World Tree is located, and even sacrificed an Abyss Demon God who ascended to the throne for this purpose!

Can we only say that he is worthy of being the demon prince feared by so many gods?

If it were another Abyss Demon God, it would be impossible for him to touch the World Tree, let alone let the power of the Endless Abyss contaminate the World Tree.

Li Si was certain that polluting the World Tree was not Demogorgon's goal, and it might even be just a step in his plan.

It's impossible that the Demon Prince spent such a huge price just for the World Tree because he was bored!

Although Li Si didn't know Demogorgon's future plan, he already had some idea in his mind.

The fall of Corellon, the future elven god, the world scars that appeared in Gaia's main world, and the crazy invasion of the Endless Abyss may all be related to the pollution of the World Tree!
Although these are just Li Si's speculations, they are very likely Demogorgon's follow-up plans.

The Demon Prince's plans are always linked together. Although Li Si can be sure that his existence has indeed brought unexpected events to Demogorgon, the mirror body behind him controlled by the power of the abyss proves it all.

Because of this reason, the state of the World Tree should be better than in the previous life, but it may not affect the implementation of Demogorgon's subsequent plans.

Is this the power and terror of the demon prince Demogorgon?

Li Si sighed slightly in his heart. He had thought about whether to take the risk of informing the Elf Kingdom and the Elf Gods of the crisis in the Elf Royal Court in advance, but in the end, he was cautious and did not do so.

Facts have also proved that even if Li Si told the elven gods at that time, the result of the destruction of the Elf Royal Court could not be changed.

He is still too weak!

Even though his reborn, fluttering wings changed many things, for Demogorgon, those changes were not enough.

Li Si looked at the half-withered World Tree in front of him, and a feeling of sadness suddenly rose in his heart for no apparent reason.

He was not sad about his own weakness, but was sad about the world tree in front of him.

Although as the embodiment of some of the rules of the Gaia world, the World Tree cannot generate its own intelligence, it can also be regarded as the mother of all living beings living in the Gaia world.

Although Li Si's soul came from the Blue Star, this instinctive reaction from the world still infected Li Si's emotions. At this time, the emerald green branches and leaves on the vibrant side of the World Tree swayed slightly.

Bits of emerald light gradually fell like stardust and landed on Li Si.

"what is this?"

Li Si was a little surprised, but he didn't feel any danger so he didn't dodge. Instead, he watched everything happen quietly.

He is actually in this dream space now, not a clone.

He didn't even know how to leave. The spatial force that he could control freely in the past was like a ball of extremely solid steel here. He couldn't control it at all, and naturally couldn't move away.

Not to mention that the teleportation ring given by Teacher Stephens has been broken. Li Si feels that even if the teacher himself is here, it is impossible for him to pry open the spatial force here and leave.

Li Si could only wait passively, but the reason why he appeared here might be because of the world tree Y'ktrasil in front of him, so nothing unexpected should happen.

Slowly, the emerald light enveloped Li Si's entire body and slowly merged into his body.

That feeling was like the purest first ray of sunlight at dawn, penetrating through layers of clouds and mist, and finally gently landing on Li Si's body.

Li Si only felt a warm and deep life force surging into his body. The emerald light seemed to have life, flowing slowly on the surface of his skin, and quickly penetrating into every cell and every meridian.

This feeling is wonderful and indescribable, just like being in the warmest hot spring in spring.

But compared to hot springs, it is more powerful, purer and deeper, as if it can wash away all the dust and fatigue in the world.

As the life force deepened, Li Si felt an unprecedented tranquility and peace.

His heart seemed to be wrapped in tenderness, and all his worries about Demogorgon disappeared at this moment.

This is a complete relaxation from the body to the depths of the soul, just like a long-wandering traveler who has finally found a home. All the fatigue and hardships are soothed and healed at this moment.

This is not only physical nourishment, but also a baptism and rebirth of the mind and soul.

The extremely rich life force of the World Tree enveloped Li Si's body, slowly strengthening his body and soul.

Li Si had this feeling before, but that time was when Li Si broke through the golden level and was baptized by the power of the world.

That is to directly accept the baptism of the power of the world and become stronger.

This time, Li Si was baptized by the purest life force of the World Tree. Not only was his strength enhanced to a greater extent, but it also did not cause him any pain.

Now Li Si fell asleep like a baby, feeling peace and tranquility in his soul.

The life force enveloping Li Si's body was so rich that it almost turned into an emerald-colored crystal, exuding vibrant vitality.

Enveloped by the power of the World Tree, Li Si slowly opened his eyes.

But this time, he did not show any surprise and just looked at the World Tree in front of him quietly.

While he was immersed in the baptism of the World Tree, the consciousness of the World Tree communicated with his soul.

Although this was only the most instinctive consciousness of the World Tree, which was quite vague and thin, Li Si also knew why he was here and what the World Tree wanted him to do.

"What other power do I want?"

After sensing the communication from the World Tree, Li Si murmured quietly.

If so, I want.
Li Si informed the World Tree in front of him of the power he most desired through the spiritual connection.

After making the request, Li Si floated calmly in the air.

Perhaps because of the influence of the power of the World Tree, Li Si's current mood is extremely calm, as if he has witnessed the passage of tens of millions of years and is as calm as a still pond.

The power that the World Tree gave him was already abundant enough. Regardless of whether the final request could be fulfilled, Li Si couldn't be more satisfied.

Just like that, no one knew how much time had passed, but the World Tree still didn't seem to react at all.

Li Si still thought that this request to the World Tree would not be fulfilled and the journey would almost end here.

At this moment, from a very distant place in the dream space, a white light like a stunning white bird flashed over and hit Li Si's body directly.

"You only have one chance to try."

After feeling the last message from the World Tree, Li Si's consciousness was instantly enveloped by endless information.

In a trance, he seemed to have traveled back to the time when Gaia's main world was just born.

He stood in front of the tiny Gaia world, which was only the size of an island. Apart from that, there was only a desolate space around him.

There is no endless abyss flickering with ominous aura, no brilliant and glorious small world, and no many kingdoms of gods located above the Gaia world.

Before Li Si's eyes, countless years passed, the Gaia world gradually grew and became stronger, and more and more celestial bodies appeared.
