Huh? Are they all real?.

Without even realizing it, she placed the hand wearing the ring behind her waist, slightly away from the sacred tree.

She seemed unaware of this small action.

The sacred tree said nothing.

She simply chuckled and watched the other person wait for her to continue.

“None of the firstborn sons could take that step, so why could you? This is clearly power that surpasses Sequence Zero!”

In their quest for greater heights, the eldest sons launched a protracted war against the gods.

But in the end, no one succeeded.

Similarly, many people tried it in the three eras that followed.

But still, no one succeeded.

And it seems the sacred tree has succeeded?

She became the first person to succeed at something no one had ever done before.

This seems to be acceptable from a probabilistic point of view, but it can also be answered with another explanation.

That is!

How can you be sure that you went out on your own, and that you weren't forced to go out?

The initial shock had completely disappeared; now all that remained was the initial questioning.

This suggests that the sacred tree may be primordial.

"Because I feel that everyone before me has gone in the wrong direction and is not qualified enough."

"What do you mean?"

Do you know why I'm the only one among the four sacred artifacts who is so special?

As is widely known, among the four original sacred artifacts, only the Sacred Tree possessed its own independent existence from the very beginning.

This made her stand out.

"Because my 'standards' are different from theirs!"

Through the revelation of the sacred tree, Eletara learned the very simple answer.

"Different specifications?"

"Yes, it's like gold, but there are differences in purity. That's the situation between me and them. In fact, it's much more exaggerated than that."

Throughout history, people have had a blind spot regarding the four sacred artifacts: they believe that there is no 'difference' between them.

In fact, this gap does exist, although it only exists between the Sacred Tree and the other three.

This is a classic example of "blind spots under the lamp".

"Do you know? In the very beginning, I was supposed to be the foundation that supports this world."

"She also used this as a blueprint to design me."

"That's why he gave me the name Yggdrasil."

“I asked him why, and he told me it was because the name means ‘world tree’.”

The sacred tree also recalled that memory, which seemed very distant even to itself.

That was the first time she met the Eternal King.

During that encounter, she learned her name and her origins.

"I don't know why the Creator ultimately abandoned this idea, but I wasn't abandoned or destroyed by her because of it. Perhaps it's because my existence is also proof of her creation?"

"In short, that reason is now impossible to verify. Unless we ask the Creator himself!"

"But in any case, even though I did not become the World Tree, I still possess the capacity to support the world."

"So, that's the biggest reason why I can take that step!"

The sacred tree possesses kindness and tolerance.

And her later ability to forgive and embrace the blasphemous dragon who had cursed the entire world's rivers with its own pus and venom.

All of this is based on this point.

After all, the role she initially played was similar to that of the 'primordial'.

Perhaps it was because the Creator's creation and His own greatness overlapped that the Creator abandoned His original concept.

Instead, they transformed the World Tree into the Sacred Tree.

"Of course, there is an even more important reason, which is that the Creator has fallen into a deep sleep. At least until today, I and all the people believed that she had fallen into a deep sleep."

"What do you mean?"

Having tasted a hint of flavor, Elitra asked the question.

To answer this question, the room beneath their feet underwent an unexpected change.

Color and existence are gradually stripped away.

It turned into a somewhat ethereal nothingness.

Elettra could sense that this was not a simple projection magic trick, but a more profound, even essential, conceptual projection.

"Didn't I say? Although I wasn't given the mission of becoming the World Tree, I still possess that ability because the Creator has left me with enough dimensions to support the world."

"So I thought, could I fulfill the Creator's original design myself? That is, could I become the master of this world!"

In the void of darkness, the world appeared, and a giant golden tree rooted in it also appeared.

And in the slow narration of the sacred tree.

The roots of the giant golden tree began to spread throughout the world and slowly enveloped it.

"The process went surprisingly smoothly. Although it took a long time, compared to those others who didn't even have a chance, I truly succeeded."

How long have you been working on this?

“After he left.”

“I want to bring him back, so I need greater power, and this is clearly the path to greater power.”

The sacred tree had this idea after learning about its origin, but out of respect for the Creator, it did not intend to turn the idea into reality.

But after the king left on his own, she, like the other goddesses, began to resort to any means necessary.

This is a problem of Moen's own.

Looking at that world that was almost completely enveloped.

Elettra suppressed her excitement and said:

"Doesn't that mean we actually have the potential for a comeback?!"

They couldn't possibly win; they were just there to stay with Moen until the very end.

This was the consensus they all reached at the beginning.

But now, it seems there's been a turning point?

But the sacred tree ruthlessly shattered her illusions.

"I'm afraid I need to apologize to you. Actually, I always thought I was close to success. But now I can say with certainty that we are still far from it."

"Why? Weren't you almost there?"

Elettra pointed to the world that was almost completely enveloped.

The sacred tree smiled wistfully and said:

"Didn't I say that was based on the premise that the Creator was truly asleep!"

A word to awaken the dreamer.

If the Creator has truly fallen into slumber, the method of the sacred tree clearly has a high chance of success.

But everything now shows that the Creator has not fallen asleep, or at least not completely asleep.

So why would the Creator stand by and watch the sacred tree take away the world under such circumstances?

This is either insignificant, or the Creator has already made a perfect plan.

If Elettra were to judge, she thinks it's probably a combination of both.

This was something the Creator had prepared for, but it was also a trivial matter.

After letting out a long sigh, the goddess, now an AI-powered being, asked one last question.

"I now almost completely accept your statement, but I still have to ask, how can you prove that you are truly a sacred tree?"

Everything the sacred tree says makes sense and explains why the prophecy of the eye says not to believe the sacred tree.

After all, the sacred tree that killed Rose Lorian was indeed lying to all of them.

This is indeed a very important matter that Moen, as the person involved, needs to pay close attention to.

Because this concerns the king's goddess.

However, this still cannot rule out the possibility that the sacred tree is lying!

The sacred tree stood up, patted its clothes, and the illusory scene vanished.

"It's very simple. Although I didn't know my origins at first, I did see the Creator."

"The Creator has never truly cared about us, so she wouldn't stoop to lying to us. If the person before you is indeed the Creator, then I will admit it directly. And then I will await your challenge!"

Elettra sensed the sincerity of the sacred tree.

Furthermore, her description aligns with the simulated personality she created for the Creator.

The other party is high and mighty, so they disdain this kind of trick of denying it even after being found out.

"I understand. So, is there anything you want to say now? Like, what should we do next?"

"Furthermore, if even a power like yours is not taken seriously by the Creator, is there really anything we can do?"

She accepted her powerlessness before the Creator, but she refused to accept that she would be of no help to Moen.

"I'm sorry, there's nothing I can do about it."

The room, occupied by only two people, fell into a long silence.

Finally, Eletara spoke, ending this regrettable conversation.

"Then let's proceed according to the original plan."

But at the very end, the sacred tree suddenly interrupted Elettra, saying:

"However, if possible, I'll tell him about it later."

She brushed a strand of hair from her forehead and said:

"Although I didn't intend to kill her at first, I was wrong in the end, so let me explain."

Elettra indicated that she understood:

“I know, and I didn’t intend to tell him without your knowledge.”

This would effectively undermine the Sacred Tree's standing in Moen's heart, but no goddess was willing to do so.

"Thank you."

-

While Elettra was still confronting the sacred tree.

The Holy Lance, in alliance with the witch, summoned the remaining gods.

Looking at the gods who arrived as promised.

Holy Lance spoke directly:

"I am very grateful that you all came in time, after all, this was a sudden contact of mine. You all had every reason to refuse."

There are only four remaining deities.

Including their kings, there are a total of seven—one of them does not yet have a king.

Of course, Aurora was not present.
