Leviathan spoke.

"Ascension to greatness..."

The expressions of several Demon Gods subtly changed.

For a moment, the atmosphere in the entire Demon God Temple was unprecedentedly tense, even more so than when they first learned that the Eternal Lord attempted to attain supreme divine power, and they had never been so anxious or apprehensive.

"Everyone, this is our last chance. When it’s asleep, that’s when it’s most vulnerable, we should regroup the forces of the abyss and counterattack!"

"The World Tree is rooted in the abyss, which is also an opportunity for us to destroy the body of Eve Yoctelaiher!"

"If we miss this opportunity, once it successfully ascends to supreme divine power, things will be difficult for us... before the final confrontation with that one, it will definitely deal with us first."

Leviathan said with a dark gaze.

After hearing its words, the expressions of the Demon Gods varied; some changed dramatically, some were gloomy, and others were serious...

All the entities had different expressions, but none doubted the words of Leviathan.

It seemed that for them, the success of Eve’s ascension after awakening was already an accepted fact.

This was something that, although they didn’t want to, they had to acknowledge.

Unlike the Eternal Lord, Eve had already grasped several keys, gained the support of nearly all True Gods, and had successfully thwarted a scheme from the creator once.

It could be said... no one doubted its ability to ascend to greatness anymore, at most they worried about the eventual clash with the creator after achieving greatness.

And the Demon Gods, certainly couldn’t wait until that time.

"Everyone, this is our last chance, mobilize all the legions."

Leviathan said in a deep voice.

The other Demon Gods reacted differently.

Helair remained expressionless, only frowning slightly.

Meanwhile, Mammon and Belial looked hesitant.

As for Belusabab, his eyes glittered for a moment before suddenly saying:

"I say... why must we fight? I feel... its proposal seems worth considering... serving as a stationed demon god at the base of the World Tree also seems viable..."

This statement immediately drew an angry glare from Leviathan:

"Enough! Belusabab! You fool, do you really want to be Eve’s dog?"

"Humph, aren’t we already dogs of the abyssal will?! Being a dog either way, what’s the difference? If Eve Goddess succeeds in ascending, it would be a creation-level existence! At least... easier to communicate with than the abyssal will!"

"Fool! Can you believe its words?! Don’t forget how it dealt with Demons!"

"The era has changed, the past is the past, the future the future. It also said it needs the presence of darkness to balance the entire world."

"Hm! Belusabab! You’re just scared of being beaten!"

"Yes, I am scared, so what? You haven’t faced endless Elf Chosen Ones directly, what do you know?"

"Haha, an excuse!"

"Hm! Leviathan, I think you just resent it purely because of the Ocean Godhood! What’s the matter? Have you been completely consumed by the ’Envy’ divine office?"

"Silence! You worthless fool!"

"Someone who lost their godhood to another is the real worthless one!"

"You!"

Leviathan was furious.

The two Demon Gods were at daggers drawn, divine power surged, almost breaking into a fight.

Mammon and Belial wore excited expressions, seemingly eager for the two Demon Gods to fight.

Frankly... they had been displeased with Leviathan for a long time.

Although Belusabab’s strength was far from Leviathan’s, they could still fight within the Demon God Temple.

For a time, the entire Demon God Temple was engulfed by surging Fallen Divine Power.

Until Helair’s cold snort, spreading terrible pressure across the temple, suppressed them:

"Enough! At such a critical time, you’re still bickering?!"

Leviathan and Belusabab stopped bickering, both snorted and turned their heads away.

Helair looked gloomily and said in a deep voice:

"Leviathan is right, this is our last chance."

"Everyone, get ready, gather your legions, in a month... we launch a counterattack on the first layer of Hell!"

Upon hearing this, Leviathan’s demeanor eased considerably, Mammon and Belial exchanged glances, keeping silent.

While Belusabab laughed on the spot:

"Another fight? Not me, I’m done fighting. If you want to, go ahead!"

After speaking, he snorted coldly and left alone.

"Belusabab!"

Helair called out once, but... couldn’t stop him.

In the Demon God Temple, only four Demon Gods remained.

Mammon and Belial exchanged another glance, suddenly shook their heads, and said:

"We’re not joining this time either, the losses from the last god-demon war were too great, we haven’t recovered yet, we need a break first..."

After speaking, they too chose to leave without looking back.

Helair was momentarily stunned, while Leviathan’s expression was extremely unsightly.

A war that was supposed to mobilize the entire abyss collapsed before it even started.

Nobody knew what happened among the Abyss Demon Gods, it was just a small episode.

Of course, ultimately that war never occurred.

With three of the five Demon Gods unwilling to fight, the remaining two, although the strongest, still weren’t enough.

The Abyssal Demon Gods, who once frequently clashed internally but would often unite against external threats, finally saw a split...

Meanwhile, the World Tree’s plan to merge with planes continued.

Eve slept, and the "Elf Kingdom" continued to run.

Fairy King Fenrir temporarily took over game management permissions, overseeing the website’s operation and game management, and other myths following Eve didn’t directly participate in the game system’s operation, but they were involved in managing Chosen Ones and quests.

Of course, Eve’s avatar assisted alongside.

Although the avatar had temporarily cut off contact with the main body, it continued to operate according to arrangements made before the body fell asleep.

Continuing to summon players from Earth ceaselessly.

Continuing to conquer planes infected by the abyss.

Continuing to preach faith on the planes, praise the Goddess’s name, and spread the glory of the Life Church.

Meanwhile, loyal followers erected goddess statues, built altars, and in fervent praises, initiated fusion ceremonies to merge the planes with the World Tree...

Thus, one after another.

Larger and smaller planes were merged into the World Tree, becoming part of the World Tree Leaf.

Some were once entirely polluted by the creator’s will, then reclaimed territory purified by players; others were planes connected to the Segis World, yet untouched by the War of Life and Eternity.

Nearly every day, a plane was being merged, and around the World Tree, stars revolve continuously.

Those were worlds in fusion ceremonies.

From the endless void, the World Tree had completely become the center of the entire universe, the rotating planes forming a dazzling light, beautiful beyond compare.

Of course, compared to the planes being attracted to the World Tree, clustering towards its branches and leaves, the entire Segis Universe appeared increasingly vast and empty.

With the World Tree asleep, gods also stayed behind the scenes, transitioning from a time of mythological activity to an era of extraordinary competition in the Segis Universe.

Almost all Divines chose seclusion, awaiting the World Tree’s reawakening, while Legends and Demigods gradually became the pinnacle forces active in the Segis Universe.

Meanwhile, as arcane knowledge from the Lost World of the Thunder Clan was uploaded to the game store, players scrambled to exchange and learn, resulting in a leap in their magic technology.

The era of the Elf Chosen Ones arrived.

Plane after plane was conquered by players, world after world was merged into the World Tree, and new technology after new technology was developed by players.

Their names, those who stood at the pinnacle of the "Elf Kingdom," spread to every corner of the universe along with the players’ footsteps.

Thus, ten years passed unnoticed.

...

Oops, there was a small mistake in the previous Chapter, the second layer of Hell belongs to Belusabab, it’s corrected now.
