Chapter 84: The True God's Throne
With a creaking sound, the temple door was slowly opened.
Eve took a deep breath and slowly stepped in while raising her awareness.
Entering the Pantheon, Eve came to an incomparably vast hall.
After coming here, Eve was surprised to find that her strength seemed to be limited in some way.
She couldn't extend her divine sense, she could only rely on her eyes to observe everything, and in an instant she seemed to change back to a mortal...
Fortunately, Eve feels that her connection to the World Tree itself still exists, and she can return at any time if she wants.
After ensuring safety, Eve began to observe the hall.
It's extremely vast, like a huge conference hall, with luxurious and majestic shrines.
There are many shrines, arranged in a fan shape, and there are at least thousands of them. Each shrine is different, with its own style and pattern.
However, if you look closely, you will find that most of the thrones are bleak, and even many are somewhat dilapidated and damaged, and only a few of them shine under the reflection of the starlight.
These intact shrines are concentrated in front of the temple, and the number is less than a hundred.
Seeing this, Eve had a realisation in an instant:
"The Pantheon... So that's the case, could it be that place?
Looking at the divine seat in front of her, combined with the inheritance of the World Tree, she finally knew where this place was.
In the World Tree inheritance she obtained, there was a supreme temple in the heavenly realm.
The Temple of the Supreme Heaven symbolises the authority and status of the true gods and is also the place where the gods gather.
The temple is filled with shrines, belonging to true gods born since the emergence of life in the Sagas universe!
However, in the inheritance of the World Tree, that supreme temple had already been destroyed in that divine war thousands of years ago...
Thinking of this, Eve shook her head again:
"No, this should not be the Supreme Temple, otherwise there would be no taste of the Sagas plane."
"But... These divine thrones are exactly the same as those true god thrones mentioned in the World Tree inheritance, as if they were moved from the Supreme Temple..."
"Pantheon... Could it be a substitute for the Supreme Temple? It's just that...... The Supreme Temple was originally located in the Celestial Realm, how could this so-called Pantheon be involved with the Sagas plane?"
Eve had some doubts in her heart.
After some exploration, she has now determined that this special space is definitely located in the Sagas plane!
As for the specific location, it is very likely that it is somewhere close to the origin of the Sagas plane...
This feeling is very weird, but it's like...
"It's like suppressing something..."
Eve guessed in her heart.
The thrones in the Supreme Temple are blessed by laws.
Even if the true god falls, the divine seat left behind is a precious artifact.
Although it is an artifact without any special abilities, because the great power of the true god remains, it naturally has the characteristics of suppressing all things.
And at this time, Eve also understood what prevented her from absorbing the origin of Sagas's plane.
It is this pantheon!
"Is it to suppress the plane origin of the Sagas plane?"
Eve's heart moved.
But soon, she shook her head again:
"No, it's not suppression, it's more like protection... Well, no, both suppression and protection!
Thinking of some information in the World Tree inheritance, Eve had some guesses.
In the inheritance, the divine war thousands of years ago was not only hurting the World Tree.
The Celestial Realm and the Sagas plane were both battlefields for the gods.
The destruction of the celestial realm equates to the collapse of the Supreme Temple, and as for the Sagas plane, when the origin gets damaged, the level of mana plummets!
Thinking of this, Eve already had some thoughts stirring:
"Here, this could be a new council place that the gods have moved over from the Celestial Realm and rebuilt, and only your consciousness can come. Not only that, but there is also the effect of protecting and suppressing the origin of the Sagas plane!
The Sagas plane is the largest main material plane, and it is also the main material plane with the most intelligent beings who provide faith,
It isn't unreasonable for the true gods to set up a new council place here in order to protect this world.
Although they could not descend to the world of Sagas in their true bodies, they could still come here with their consciousness.
Thinking of this, Eve had more than a trace of fear:
"My previous absorption was too reckless, if there happens to be a true God consciousness here, my existence could've been discovered!"
The effect of her first previous extraction was terrifying.
The origin of the Sagas plane was damaged, and the speed of absorbing void energy for thousands of years was very slow.
The void energy has natural characteristics of moving closer to the plane, and the amount of void energy accumulated around the Sagas plane was not a small amount for thousands of years.
Under Eve's absorption, these thousands of years of accumulated void energy suddenly poured in, instantly increasing the magic level of the Sagas plane by nearly one percent...
If there happened to be a true God consciousness here at that time, Eve would have been discovered long ago!
Although it is not necessarily obvious to guess the revival of the World Tree, it is certainly doubtful that something isn't happening inside Sagas.
No...... Wait a minute!
Suddenly, Eve's heart moved.
She looked at the many shrines and searched for them one by one.
After a moment, her expression was strange:
"No... The gods should not have guessed the revival of the World Tree, more precisely, they certainly won't!
Her gaze was focused on one of those ruined thrones.
It was a shrine seat carved with intricate patterns, painted with flowers and vines, exactly like the throne of the World Tree that Eve knew!
There is no trace of the true God in the throne.
The divine mark and the seat are dilapidated, indicating that the true god has fallen.
Although Eve inherited the inheritance of the World Tree and has the same godhead, she is not the former World Tree after all.
Her soul comes from a different universe, and her divine soul is also very different... Therefore, she did not inherit the throne of her predecessor.
In other words...... Although the World Tree has come to life, the one registered in the Pantheon is still dead...
Compared to the previous World Tree, Eve is actually more like her child.
Thinking of this, Eve was a little bit crying and laughing, but she felt quite lucky.
But soon, she felt that this was also a good opportunity!
This shows that as long as she does not expose herself, for a long period of time, even if the gods discover the magical changes in the Sagas plane, they will not suspect the world tree in a short period of time.
And at this moment, Eve suddenly felt that inexplicable call again.
But this time, a certain realisation rose in her heart:
"So it is, is this summoning for me to leave my divine soul mark here?"
Leaving the mark of the divine soul, a new throne will be created in the pantheon, which is also equivalent to Eve being accepted by the gods.
In other words, the new god getting initiated into the club.
However, Eve decided to give up.
"The divine seat is transformed through divine power, even if I cover my divine power breath, if I leave the divine throne, it will be exposed. In the worst case, it may also directly resonate with the previous World Tree God Seat and directly inherit the previous God Seat!"
That would be embarrassing, equivalent to directly exposing yourself.
This amount of risk is not enough.
"What if... If I could have a new kind of priesthood, I could find a way to leave a mark..."
Eve shook her head, sighed regretfully, and turned to leave the Pantheon.
But not long after she left, several divine thrones in the Pantheon suddenly bloomed with shining brilliance!
