Ch 253

The home of the current World Tree Al was very messy and chaotic. It was usually peaceful and quiet, but the birds that lived there were now chirping non-stop. The small animals also remained constantly alert, looking left and right as if they were anxious about something.

“Mother Divine Tree? What’s wrong?” The little girl dressed in an elegant and neat ceremonial dress asked after seeing the unusually noisy and chaotic space.

“Come quickly, Emilia,” said the woman who sat in the middle of the beautiful forest. As she reached out to the girl with a bitter smile on her face, she said, “Come and let your mother hold you in her arms.”

Only then did the messy and chaotic atmosphere suddenly start to quieten down. Everything began to calm down. It was as if there had been no mess since the beginning. However, the newfound sereneness did not wipe away the tension on Emilia’s face.

The mood of all the forest animals was entirely dependent on World Tree Al’s condition. If the animals’ mood was chaotic, then AI, the mother of all elves, was clearly feeling anxious. The World Tree was a demigod-like existence, but she was anxious? That was not something that they should easily dismiss.

“Mother… Please tell me…what in the world is going on?”

“It’s nothing. It is not a cause for concern.”

“I am Mother's Saintess. Can’t you tell me?” Emilia asked anxiously.

After the recent changes in the World Tree and their shift in generation, Emilia had once again become the Divine Tree’s Saintess.

Emilia had originally been the previous generation’s Saintess, but there was nothing wrong with her becoming the Saintess of the newly born World Tree. After all, the World Tree’s Will that had appeared was the very same Will that she had served before. And since the Divine Tree’s Sacred Land had lost its main pillar after the recent war, they needed to have another pillar. That was why no one went against Al and Emilia’s rule.

“Hoo… It seems like…something strange…is about to happen.”

“Something…strange?”

“That’s right. The root of darkness in this world’s Abyss is beginning to twist the divine providence.”

“The root of darkness… What in the world…?”

“Do you know what existed in the beginning?”

“The…beginning?” Emilia asked with her head tilted in curiosity. She was like a child listening to an old story.
