I ascend to the throne of God with arcane magic.

Chapter 727: Shadow of the World Tree Yggdrasil
Lonely Mountain City,
The aura emanating from Li Si spread unrestrainedly in Gushan City.

The sun's rays pierced through the rolling sea of ​​clouds above Lonely Mountain, and the white clouds in front of the Dwarf Palace suddenly trembled.

Li Si's legendary aura could not be detected, but everyone in the city could see the huge vision that appeared in front of the Dwarf Kingdom.

The first thing that appeared in the air was a touch of green, its color deeper than jade and more vivid than spring buds.

When the first branch appeared in the air, the trees in the entire Gushan City seemed to sway slightly, as if they were worshipping in this direction.

The shadow of a giant green tree, so huge that it was beyond imagination, slowly emerged from the center of the ripples in the air.

It seemed to come from an ancient myth, with countless green branches and leaves appearing in the air, as if new green buds were sprouting in an instant.

The trunk is as thick as a giant pillar connecting heaven and earth. Every texture is like a mysterious rune engraved by time, telling an unknown ancient story. The spiral lines and gullies contain the ancient memories of the Gaia world.

The huge tree crown blocks out the sun, and the lush branches and leaves seem to be able to accommodate the entire world. Every leaf sparkles with lively light, like the bright stars in the night sky, casting a soft and holy glow.

Each leaf is like a miniature world carved out of jade, with liquid life force flowing in its veins.

When the shadow of the world tree Yggdrasil covered Lonely Mountain, all living beings heard a resonance from the depths of their souls, as if they heard the whisper of the first breeze blowing through the branches at the beginning of Gaia.

The first to notice the change was the Dwarf King Preston, who sat on the Black Iron Throne.

He was sitting on the throne with his eyes closed, and on the table in front of him were piled documents that he was too lazy to read.

At the moment when Li Si exuded a surging aura, the battle axe engraved with intricate runes beside the throne suddenly made a clear hum.

"who is it?"

Preston opened his eyes instantly, stood up, and looked forward with a serious expression.

This legendary aura was not too strong for him, nor did it show any hostility.

But who in Lonely Mountain City would dare to challenge the Dwarf King's Court so brazenly?

At this moment, Preston felt a special wave appearing in Lonely Mountain City.

His face changed, and the battle axe beside the throne flew into his hands in an instant.

The figure flashed, and when Preston appeared again, he was on the top of the palace.

He saw with his own eyes the towering tree whose shade almost covered the entire Gushan City!

"This is the projection of the World Tree Yggdrasil!"

Preston's beard trembled violently with excitement, and he gripped the battle axe tightly in his hand.

At this moment, all the strong people who have reached the legendary realm feel the eternal pressure from the World Tree, as if a sleeping god is slowly awakening from the source of the long river of time.

At this moment, the phantom of the World Tree suddenly shook gently, and countless emerald green lights fell from the treetops.

The light was like a layer of gauze, gently covering the entire Gushan City.

The originally hard and cold rock ground, under the reflection of this light, actually revealed a hint of warm vitality. And the dust in the air seemed to be given life, turning into golden particles, jumping and dancing happily in the light.

The dwarves in Lonely Mountain were busy in every corner of the city as usual.

Some were swinging hammers in front of forges, sparks flying everywhere; some were carrying ore in warehouses, heavy footsteps echoing in the narrow streets; others were sitting together in taverns, drinking and laughing loudly.
However, the moment the phantom of the World Tree appeared, the entire Gushan City seemed to have pressed the pause button, and all sounds stopped abruptly.

The dwarves stopped what they were doing, their eyes filled with shock and awe.

The dwarves, who were usually known for their perseverance and bravery, had expressions of disbelief on their faces. At this moment, they were like devout believers. They involuntarily put down their tools and wine glasses, slowly knelt on the ground, and bowed deeply in the direction of the shadow of the World Tree.

This is not a belief, but a heartfelt reverence for the origin of life in the entire Gaia world.

At this moment, a faint green light, like light starlight, fell from the branches of the World Tree.

They were like nimble elves, dancing in the air, and then slowly falling into the bodies of the dwarves.

When the green light touched the dwarves' skin, a warm and gentle power instantly spread throughout their bodies.

The old dwarf's hunched back gradually straightened up under the nourishment of this life force.

He only felt a warm current flowing through his body, and wherever it went, the soreness and fatigue disappeared without a trace, as if he had returned to his youth and strength.

A young dwarf craftsman's face, which was originally darkened by the smoke and dust, now became ruddy and shiny. He gently clenched his fists, feeling the power surging in his body, and his heart was filled with joy and gratitude.

The dwarf children jumped excitedly, chasing the green light. They stretched out their hands, trying to catch the lively points of light, and their laughter echoed over the lonely mountain city.

With the nourishment of this life force, they felt their bodies become lighter, as if they could fly in the air like birds.

As time passed, the shadow of the World Tree gradually dissipated, but the abundant life force remained forever in the bodies of the dwarves.

At this time, Preston stood in front of Li Si, looking at Li Si with a complicated expression.

"Are you Lis Kane, the World Tree's Blessed One?"

The guard who informed Li Si earlier had not yet told him the news of Li Si's arrival.

However, in this situation, Preston also understood Li Si's situation.

Apart from this long-lost World Tree Blesser, who else can summon the phantom of the World Tree Yggdrasil?

Although Preston had never seen the World Tree Yggdrasil with his own eyes, no matter what was recorded in ancient books or the extremely special and powerful breath of life, it was impossible to fake it.

Naturally, the identity of the person in front of him was self-evident.

What's more, Caleb from the Church of the God of War was also standing next to this person, which in a sense verified the other party's identity.

Although the dwarves do not communicate much with the outside world, they are aware of the news that another World Tree-loving One has appeared in the world.

Moreover, unlike ordinary supernatural forces, only forces with a long history like the dwarves, elves, and the Church of the Gods can understand the significance of the World Tree's Favorites.

The appearance of the phantom of the World Tree also revealed Li Si's specialness.

"I'm."

Li Si looked at the dwarf king in front of him, smiled and nodded.

Unlike his previous identity as the dwarf "Reese", the current Dwarf King Preston looks much more majestic.

An absolute kingly demeanor.

However, Li Si could see that Preston was somewhat dissatisfied with his behavior of showing off his presence.

This is true.

No matter who it is, if someone shows such a near-miraculous vision at their doorstep, they will feel uncomfortable.

But when facing Li Si, even the extremely powerful Preston couldn't say much.

On the one hand, Li Si behaved like this because of the unrestrained provocation from the legendary dwarves in the palace.

On the other hand, the essence of life brought by the phantom of the World Tree is tantamount to a baptism of life for the dwarves of Lonely Mountain City.

Although this has no effect on those who are above the legendary level, it is very effective for ordinary people.

This life force that comes from the world tree Yggdrasil can not only eliminate illness and heal injuries, but can even slightly increase lifespan.

This made it difficult for Preston, the "chief" of the dwarf tribe, to make trouble because of this matter.

Because his people have gained considerable benefits, they cannot turn against him no matter what.

Therefore, although he was no match for the dwarf king in front of him, Li Si was still quite relaxed and did not worry about the other party attacking him. The ability to summon the phantom of the world tree Yggdrasil was something Li Si realized when he mastered the Flame of Life.

Rather than being an ability, it is more like an authority.

A gift from the world tree Yggdrasil.

Summoning the phantom of the World Tree does not cost Li Si any energy.

It's like the special authority granted to him by the World Tree Y'k'trasil, allowing him to get help from the power of the World Tree Y'k'trasil under certain circumstances.

After Li Si used it once, he had to wait another month before using it again.

However, unlike other abilities he has mastered, Li Si has not yet figured out the full function of the ability to summon the phantom of the World Tree.

Like this time in Lonely Mountain City, summoning the phantom of the World Tree to bring down the baptism of life force is only the most basic ability of the phantom of the World Tree.

Li Si estimated that the reason for such a gift was that the world tree Yggdrasil had further revived.

Previously, under the planning of the demon prince Demogorgon, the world tree Yggdrasil was contaminated by the destructive power of the abyss.

However, with Li Si's intervention, the situation of the World Tree Yggdrasil is obviously better than in the previous life.

It was after that experience that Li Si became the fourth World Tree-loving Person.

Li Si had his own considerations for being exposed in Gushan City.

He had already decided to inform all allied forces, including the Dwarf Kingdom and the Church of the Gods, of the changes in the [Crystal of Phillips].

In order to gain people's trust and avoid exposing his own secrets, he planned to attribute the matter to the revelation from the world tree Yggdrasil.

The condition of the World Tree Yggdrasil began to improve, so it had enough energy to bestow power on him, its follower. At the same time, it sent down new divine revelations, foreshadowing the impending crisis in the Gaia world.

The logic is smooth!

Nothing wrong at all!
Preston had no idea why Li Si did this and could only attribute it to Li Si announcing his arrival.

However, since the entire Gushan City benefited, he couldn't say much.

Preston asked Li Si in a deep voice:

"The World Tree's Favored One has come here. What's the matter?"

"Of course."

Li Si said with a smile, pointing at Caleb beside him:

"Something about my good friend from the Church of the God of War."

"All right."

Preston glanced at Caleb, nodded and said:

"In that case, please come in, both of you."

After saying that, he led the two of them towards the palace.

At the same time in Lonely Mountain City, the people of the Dwarf Temple acted quickly, spreading the word that the baptism of life brought by the giant tree just now was a gift from the dwarf gods.

It is the love and gift of the gods to the believers.

In the palace,

Preston looked at the two people sitting in front of him and didn't speak for a while.

Caleb of the Church of the God of War looked a little serious, as if he was thinking about something.

Li Si on the side looked much more relaxed and was skillfully selecting from the dwarf pies nearby, deliberately avoiding the rock skin pies.

This guy, why does he look familiar?

Preston was sure that this was the first time he met Li Si, the World Tree's Follower, but this somewhat strange feeling lingered in his heart.

As for Li Si, he was naturally not in a hurry. He had absolute confidence in the result this time.

As long as Preston was a qualified king and racial leader, it would be impossible to refuse his proposal.

Apparently, Preston is that kind of guy.

Preston's eyes were on Li Si.

He naturally knew Caleb's purpose.

However, he was not very interested in cooperating with the Church of the God of War.

After listening to the advice of his ministers, he handed the matter over to the dwarf ministers.

Just want Caleb to back down.

After all, the Church of the God of War is also a powerful force, and Preston does not want to make the relationship between the two parties too awkward by directly rejecting it.

But now it seems that some compromises have to be made.

Even for Li Si's sake.

In fact, Preston was very surprised by Li Si's arrival.

The relationship between the Dwarven Kingdom and the Church of the Gods is somewhat complicated.

The dwarves have never wanted to get too involved in the struggle between the Church of the Gods and the followers of evil gods.

This is also related to the relationship between the dwarven gods and other factions of gods.

But that was with the arrival of the world wave, and the influence of the gods on the Gaia world had fallen to its lowest point.

For example, the attack on Lonely Mountain City by the followers of the evil god Shadow King not long ago would have been unimaginable in the past.

Generally speaking, even if the followers of evil gods attack, they will choose remote places as their targets.

A key place like Lonely Mountain City is the place that the gods pay the most attention to and has the strongest protective power.

Even the gods can communicate with each other to foreshadow the coming of a crisis.

But after this incident, Preston truly realized the dangers lurking in the future of Gaia's world.

Yes, the Elf King's Court was destroyed silently, so what else is impossible to happen?
Fortunately, this Shadow Tide attack did not cause much damage to Lonely Mountain City.

Preston didn't want to see the destruction of Lonely Mountain.

In this case, we need to seek more allies.

It is absolutely impossible to join the evil god's followers. Even if Preston is willing, he will be stopped by the dwarf gods.

Then the most suitable ally is the Church of the Gods!

Just as Preston was thinking, he suddenly heard Li Si say:

"Your Majesty Preston, you don't want Lonely Mountain City to be destroyed, do you?"
