He became the White-Haired Evil God after wearing the Seven Curses Rings.

"The World Tree? What's that?"

"Is it the same as the indigo trees we grow where we live?"

Seeing that Jia Mi was unaware, Xie Bai didn't press the matter further.

After all, Gami has been living in the chaotic land for many years, so they are probably unaware of what's happening outside.

"In short, there are things on the World Tree that are of the same origin as the Chaotic Lands, which can be used to protect you."

Hearing this, the two children were somewhat puzzled.

"So, Sister Xiaobai, are you going to find the World Tree now?"

"Aren't you taking us with you? What if we get kidnapped by accident... um."

Seeing the two children's worry, Xie Bai gently rubbed their cheeks.

"Okay, you don't need to worry about that. I'll be back soon."

With that, Xie Bai jumped off the bench and opened the game map.

The landmark on Tianshan Mountain is very easy to find; it's right in the middle of the map.

Just as Xie Bai was about to choose Tianshang Mountain as the landmark for teleportation, she suddenly discovered that there was a hidden landmark underneath.

World Tree

"It turns out there's a World Tree landmark hidden underneath; it's so overlapping that you really can't spot it unless you look closely."

After switching layers, Xie Bai selected the World Tree as the teleportation landmark.

Under normal circumstances, the World Tree is a hidden landmark that can only be accessed through special means and is not accessible via teleportation on the map.

But the boundless shimmering light doesn't care about any of that.

As long as you can confirm the landmark, you can click to teleport and ignore some potential hidden conditions.

The next second, the perspective shifted, and Xie Bai arrived at a new location.

Before her stood a gigantic, illusory tree, its size comparable to a mountain.

World Tree

[Quality: Amazing]

[Special Equipment]

【Usage Requirements: Main God (Ignored)】

[All attribute bonuses: Doubled]

[Permanent: Unmovable, and the spacetime it resides in cannot be destroyed]

[Formulation: When a true god dies completely, his remains can be used as nourishment to grow a completely new branch of world rules.]

[Gift: Those who witness its existence can undertake a special challenge to receive a gift from the World Tree, with a chance to obtain a branch as a reward.]

The Tree of Intertwined Rules, the second artifact after the birth of the High Court, bears the responsibility of establishing and solidifying the rules; the spacetime in which it exists is reality.

The second divine artifact?

Xie Bai was somewhat surprised when he saw the introduction that popped up in front of him.

"So even this is a divine artifact? In that case, this Heavenly Mountain is no ordinary place either. It has the High Court on its head and the World Tree hidden at its feet. It's a pity that the High Court has not yet appeared in the world at this time."

Thinking of this, Xie Bai took out the funeral rites.

With the aid of the boundless floating light, Xie Bai quickly found the target she was looking for.

A blue branch that had been broken off.

After finding it, Xie Bai looked at the blue branch and felt that it seemed somewhat familiar.

"This is the paradoxical branch that originated from the same source as the Chaotic Land? It looks a lot like that big blue tree there... Wait, could that have broken off from here?"

If that's the case, it could explain why the paradoxical branches share the same origin as the chaotic land.

Perhaps it can be said the other way around: the chaotic land and the branches of paradox share the same origin.

"Only a section was broken off, and not the whole thing was taken away. It must have been left behind on purpose."

For some reason, Xie Bai suddenly thought of a nameless person and felt that this matter was related to her.

"Speaking of which, if I take this branch, that reborn person should be unable to regenerate again. It seems he's quite determined..."

After a brief sigh, Xie Bai raised the funeral banner and chopped off the remaining paradoxical branches.

Although there are more formal ways to obtain branches from the World Tree, Xie Bai doesn't want to play this childish game.

The next second, a riot broke out throughout the entire space.

"Such a strong reaction... If it weren't for that permanent attribute, I would have taken you whole already."

Sensing the hostility coming from all directions, Xie Bai did not choose to confront it head-on, but instead chose to open the map and teleport away.

After Xie Bai left, the World Tree lost its goal.

Looking around, it had no choice but to scatter its surging power haphazardly in all directions.

Some of the power was directed upwards, spreading throughout the entire Heavenly Mountain.

……

The Holy Church.

At this time, Pope Virgil was still sitting in his office, handling some routine matters.

A day has passed since he issued the order to find Elania.

Although it was a short time, it was extremely agonizing for Virgilis.

From the moment Elania was born, Virgil discovered the innate light within her. Without a doubt, Elania was the chosen child of the gods, and when the gods descended in the future, they would have to rely on this innate light, but that would undoubtedly cause Elania to dissipate.

From a father's perspective, Elania was his beloved daughter.

From the Pope's perspective, Elania was a necessary sacrifice when God descended.

This contradiction has kept him struggling for a long time, and he still hasn't made up his mind.

He tried almost every possible alternative, but to no avail, and even neglected to spend time with Alania as a result.

At that moment, Elania left the Sky Mountain again, and her whereabouts were unknown.

This was another devastating blow to Virgilis, who was already conflicted.

Just then, a two-emperor alliance emerged, making the already distracted Virgil even more anxious.

"My God, what are you plotting? Or is the entire Holy Church merely a sacrifice for you...?"

No sooner had he finished speaking than a violent tremor suddenly occurred.

"Buzz—!!!"

The entire mountain suddenly shook violently.

Faced with this scene, Virgil's face turned ashen.

"What's going on now? Did my words just now offend the God...?"

Thinking of this, Virgil immediately stood up and used his divine power to sweep across the entire Heavenly Mountain.

"No... this vibration is coming from the bottom. Could it be that the alchemists from the Audu Empire have made their move?"

Faced with the anomaly of the mountain in the sky, Virgil could only draw this conclusion.

Virgil had no idea about the secret of the World Tree at the bottom of the Sky Mountain.

To be precise, he didn't even know the World Tree existed.

Since the true god fell into slumber, the secrets of the World Tree have been completely sealed away.

The tremors on the mountain lasted only a short while, and after they subsided, Virgil immediately summoned all the core members of the church.

"Now that the Twin Emperors Alliance has begun to take action, we can no longer sit idly by. From this moment on, the Church will be on high alert, and we will also arrange for people to contact those angels."

With the order issued, the Holy Church began to operate at high intensity, and within half a day, most of its members were suspected of colluding with the enemy.

Among them are some innocent people who have been forcibly accused of crimes.

For a time, the entire Holy Church was filled with unease.

Meanwhile, someone lurking in the shadows was also feeling uneasy.

"Wait, are they going to give me this much intensity right off the bat...?"
