Abyss Tree Evolution: A Mission to Conquer the World

The Treant’s body gradually shrank and eventually transformed into an Elf approximately two meters tall.

Unlike Vaelor’s first appearance, when he looked seven years old, after advancing to Level Four, his body’s apparent age increased until he looked around fifteen years old!

"This doesn’t look imposing enough for a king!" Vaelor looked at himself and was dissatisfied with his teenage appearance. He didn’t want to wait until he grew older for his appearance to change, so he quickly used the cosmic law of Genesis!

White energy began to appear around Vaelor, and his facial features began to change. His height gradually increased until he reached two and a half meters, slightly taller than an adult Elf!

After Vaelor’s facial features changed slightly, he now looked to be in his mid-twenties, but he wasn’t finished yet!

Vaelor focused his attention on the colorless symbols within him, and soon, those symbols spread throughout his body. After several minutes, they disappeared once again!

The Law of Genesis had changed his appearance and height, but those changes were only temporary. However, by using the colorless symbols, Vaelor stabilized those changes and made them permanent!

"Rios...!"

Elena slowly approached Vaelor in fear, barely managing to utter her husband’s name!

Upon hearing that voice and that name, Vaelor turned toward Elena and looked at her with pity and regret before shaking his head at her.

"He no longer exists!"

Elena suddenly stopped in place as if struck by lightning. Her eyes widened as she looked toward Vaelor. "Who are you, and what did you do to Rios?!"

"I didn’t do anything. I have always been the owner of this body and this soul. You could say that Rios was merely a split personality of mine while I was asleep, but when he couldn’t face that Giant, I awakened and took control, while he disappeared without a trace!" Vaelor spoke with pity, mixing truths and lies together. To him, telling her that she had loved a split personality of his was a thousand times better than telling her that she had loved a damn parasite that had been controlling his body!

"You’re lying. Rios can’t just disappear like that!" Elena gritted her teeth, and the crown above her head began to glow in response to her will. She looked at Vaelor with intense hatred!

"I advise you not to do anything foolish. You are in no way suitable to fight me!" Vaelor calmly advised Elena, but anyone who listened carefully to his tone would find it filled with arrogance!

Elena’s crown gradually dimmed, and she looked toward Vaelor with empty eyes. After some time, she gritted her teeth, and her body began floating toward the sky!

Vaelor watched her for some time until she disappeared into the horizon. He then shook his head and looked toward the remaining Elves. "What about you?"

Upon hearing this question, which sounded almost like an interrogation, the Elves looked at one another anxiously, but soon, all the soldiers knelt!

"We swore our loyalty to the sacred Tree of Abyss, and as long as the sacred Tree of Abyss lives, our loyalty shall remain alive. Long live the Tree of Abyss!"

Long live the sacred Tree of Abyss!

Long live the sacred Tree of Abyss!

Long live the sacred Tree of Abyss!

One of the army commanders shouted a sentence that swept away all the soldiers’ worries, and the soldiers quickly chanted after him!

Vaelor looked toward that commander and smiled. This person was sharp-minded and could read the situation better than the other Elves.

By claiming that their loyalty was to the Tree of Abyss as an entity regardless of its personality, whether it was Rios or Vaelor, this commander had avoided a great deal of worry and accusations of betrayal.

His claim also aligned with the Elves’ beliefs, as the Elves revered the sacred trees as entities regardless of their personalities!

Vaelor nodded at them and then looked toward the seven children who had not yet knelt. "What about you?"

"To be honest, I would feel like a hypocrite if I swore loyalty to you after my loyalty belonged to someone else. But as you said, since the two of you were the same person, and as Commander Gin said, our loyalty is to the Tree of Abyss and the City of Light as long as you protect it." Lanor spoke in a serious tone and quickly knelt, followed by the others except Ethar and Imris!

"What about you?" Vaelor looked toward Ethar and waited for his answer!

"What will you do to the one who did this to the City of Light?" Ethar looked at him with indifference toward Vaelor’s status or identity and directly asked about what concerned him!

"Did you see what I did to him?" Vaelor smiled at Ethar’s question and paid no attention to his gaze. He pointed behind himself, and soon, a Soul Gate appeared, from which a massive forty-meter-tall Giant emerged!

It was the soul of Titan Anar!

When everyone saw this Titan, they immediately became terrified and quickly retreated several steps, looking at Titan Anar with caution and hatred!

"Don’t worry. He has now become my obedient dog, and this will be the fate of anyone who dares and has the audacity to attack the City of Light. Either death, or becoming our slave!" Vaelor said while looking at Ethar.

Ethar did not give his answer immediately. He continued looking at Titan Anar’s soul for some time, but in the end, he knelt just like the others. "My loyalty is yours as long as you are the protector of the City of Light!"

Vaelor nodded toward Ethar, then waved his hand, causing both the Soul Gate and Titan Anar’s soul to disappear. He then looked toward Imris. "And you?"

Imris looked toward Vaelor with almost completely empty and emotionless eyes. "What will happen to my mother?"

"Your mother is safe and will live, but her condition is extremely difficult, and she will need some time to be healed!" Vaelor said without even attempting to lie to the boy. Instead, he told him the complete truth so that he could decide his next path!

Upon hearing Vaelor’s answer, Imris felt both happiness and sadness at the same time.

He was happy because his mother would remain alive, and sad because her condition was dangerous, but he quickly knelt as well. "As long as you can save my mother, my loyalty is yours!"

After making certain of the loyalty of all the Elves, Vaelor looked toward Orion and furrowed his brows!

"Someone who uses the Body Path and has reached the Fourth Star, I never expected this continent to contain someone like you!"

Since Rios frequently visited the Eternal Night Heaven, the largest gathering and largest marketplace in the universe, he had of course heard about the Body Path. However, due to his many responsibilities, Rios had never had the opportunity to study that path, though he had read a few things about it.

Since Vaelor shared the same soul with Rios, he also knew this information and had seen everything Rios had seen. In addition, the bloodline memories Vaelor had obtained from his ancestors contained a few things about the Body Path.

Therefore, Vaelor immediately recognized the type of path Orion used just by sensing his aura, and he was surprised when he sensed how powerful Orion was, as his strength was equal to that of someone at Level Four!

"No, wait a moment. You don’t use the Body Stars Path. Instead, you use the most primitive method of body refinement, namely Body Strengthening!" After examining Orion’s body, Vaelor discovered that he wasn’t using the Body Stars system as he had thought. Instead, he was using something far inferior!

"Body Stars? Body Strengthening? What the hell are you babbling about?" Orion looked toward Vaelor and furrowed his brows, feeling that the person speaking to him was simply a lunatic!

"I’m babbling?!" Vaelor was surprised by those words and pointed a finger toward his own face, then smiled at Orion. "It seems you need some discipline before we talk!"

Vaelor waved his hand toward Orion, and numerous enormous living hands suddenly emerged from the ground, grabbed Orion, and hung him upside down!

"What are you doing? Who gave you permission to hang me like this?! Hurry up and put me down, or I’ll smash that head of yours!" Orion was shocked by the sudden turn of events and quickly used his immense physical strength to try to break free, but he found that no resistance was effective against these enormous stone hands. In fact, after every struggle, he found himself becoming weaker!

"Good, stay like this until I’m finished." Vaelor clapped his hands and then retreated toward the place where the formation had been.

"Hey, you! Where are you going and leaving me here?!" Orion shouted louder, but no one answered him!

After reaching the place, Vaelor stood where the formation had been. Soon, his body expanded and began to transform until he finally became a one-hundred-meter-tall Tree of Abyss!

Vaelor extended his roots deep into the earth and quickly fused his roots with the roots of the formation!

Although he had devoured the core of the formation before, he knew the details of the formation and its symbols precisely. On top of that, he was the one who had previously allowed Rios to successfully merge with it!

After his roots finally fused with the roots of the formation, Vaelor used the colorless symbols to replace the core of the formation with himself. Soon, the tips of two hundred flexible branches transformed into paintbrushes, and under Rios’s control, using the power of the soul, they began drawing hundreds of symbols around Vaelor’s trunk.

Just as Rios had been in that strange place where he gained enlightenment to create the modified defensive formation and many other things and benefits, Vaelor had also been there and had gained a different enlightenment as a separate consciousness, in addition to many other things and benefits!

After several hours of continuous drawing and consuming Soul Essence at a crazy rate, the symbols finally lit up, and the new formation was created!

Under Vaelor’s control, the new formation began operating, and the damaged areas were quickly healed and restored!

The changes did not stop there. The earth began shaking and moving under the influence of the formation, making it seem as though the earth itself were alive. Soon, every corpse in the City of Light was gathered, the corpses of the enemies in one area and the corpses of the Elves in another!

In addition, the earth began compacting in certain areas until it became extremely solid and perfectly level, as though it had been created to form the best roads.

In other areas, enormous trees began to grow.

These trees were unlike the other trees outside the City of Light. They were approximately twice as tall as the trees outside —one hundred meters— and as for their diameter, they were much thicker, approximately thirty meters!

At the edges of the City of Light, several dozen meters before the location of the wall that had been destroyed by the Giants, the earth trembled and began rising gradually. Within several minutes, an entirely new wall was formed, and the roots of the formation climbed over it as before to form the defensive barrier like the old formation, but this time, numerous modifications had been made to this feature.

Vaelor wanted to build the wall in its old location, but he couldn’t because of the Chaos Mist left behind by the Giants after their explosion in that area, which was causing all kinds of energy and laws to erode!

Vaelor could use the Power of Abyss to remove the Chaos Mist, but he did not possess enough Power of Abyss to remove all of this amount of Chaos Mist.

Crack! Crack! Crack!

Beneath Vaelor’s roots, the earth began cracking, and a portal connected to a staircase descending a great distance was opened. After several minutes, dozens, then hundreds, then thousands of children and youths who had not yet reached twenty years old began emerging.

These were the children and youths who had been hidden in another location before the war began. They represented the hope and future of the City of Light, and their number reached five hundred thousand children and youths!

After this entire crowd finally emerged, everyone looked around in astonishment.

They did not find the destruction and devastation they had imagined upon coming out, nor did they find the City of Light they knew!

Had they not found the Elf soldiers and their commanders immediately after emerging, they would have thought they had been sent to another place!

While they were stunned and amazed by the new surroundings, they heard Vaelor’s voice at this moment.

"These enormous trees shall henceforth be the new homes of the Elves. The old homes have been buried, and so have many of the old Elves. Only the new generation remains, so bury your old history, because an old era has begun."

Vaelor left the Elves in their astonishment and contemplation, and many of his red leaves gathered above the tree’s canopy, forming an incarnation of his Elf appearance.

Vaelor looked toward the dark black sky and the blue moon and narrowed his eyes!

Now that he had reached Level Four using laws, his sensitivity toward laws was far greater than before.

At this moment, Vaelor could sense the changes occurring across the continent!

"A new era has begun!"

---

In another place far away from Vaelor’s continent.

An old man with six wings sat upon a throne shaped like a six-winged falcon, wearing a crown made of six wings!

The old man sat holding his staff and gazing toward the horizon with his eyes closed while stroking his long beard with one hand.

At this moment, another person entered in haste and panic, quickly kneeling before the throne!

"Father, we have just received news that the Dragon Wall surrounding the Mother Continent has begun to disappear at an even faster rate. At the rate we have been informed of, it will most likely disappear within a few months!"

Upon hearing this, the old man sitting upon the throne quickly opened his eyes in alarm and looked toward the horizon with trembling eyes!

"I never expected the prophecy to come true during my reign!" The emperor spoke in an ancient, aged voice. After some time, he looked toward his son. "Prepare yourself. The Great Era has arrived, and with it shall come the wars of the ancient eras!"

---

In another place decorated with numerous towering pillars and many majestic dragon statues, a middle-aged man with black scales sat upon a metallic throne that seemed to have been molten, compressed, and made from countless spears.

At this moment, this man looked sternly at another man with black scales who was kneeling before him. After some time, he turned his gaze toward the horizon, narrowed his brows, and muttered a few words...

"The Great Era!"

---

Upon an extremely luxurious throne with numerous fangs protruding from its sides, a muscular young man barely in his mid-twenties sat. He was only two meters tall, with golden hair. He held a golden staff in one hand, while with the other, he stroked the mane of a golden lion sitting at his feet!

The young man smiled and calmly looked toward the golden lion and spoke in a calm, carefree voice. "Did you hear that, my companion? The Great Era has begun, and you’ll eat until you’re stuffed!"

Roooaaarrr!

The golden lion roared lazily and happily at his companion’s words, as though it understood him!

---

Underneath an enormous one-hundred-meter-tall tree with white leaves, an Elf woman with green hair and a majestic aura sat upon a throne made of tree branches.

At this moment, the Elf furrowed her brows while looking toward an Elf kneeling before her. After some time, she waved her hand toward him.

"You may leave now."

"Yes, Empress of the Elves!"

The Elf left immediately after receiving his empress’s order. After making certain that he had left, the empress rose from her throne and knelt toward the towering tree behind the imperial throne!

"Ancestor, I seek your counsel!"

The empress remained kneeling in place for more than an hour and did not dare move even an inch or show any reaction of dissatisfaction. After some additional time, the face of an old man formed on the trunk of the tree and spoke in a deep, ancient voice...

"Prepare yourselves! A new era has begun!"

Immediately after saying this, the old man’s face disappeared from the tree’s trunk, and the enormous tree returned to its former silence!

Faced with the tree’s strange declaration, the empress did not panic. Instead, she smiled happily and clenched her fist, muttering to herself in ecstasy...

"The time has finally come for the world to remember who the Elves are!"

End of Volume One.

Well, everyone, I won’t say much, as I’m not good at expressing my feelings, but all I can say to you is, thank you to everyone who has read my writing until now. Thank you to everyone who supported me financially or morally. I will never forget this, everyone.

And the rest of the friends who shared this experience with me.

I know there were some fights and events that needed more details and explanations, and I am truly sorry about that, but Volume One took more time and more Chapters than I expected. In my original plan, it was supposed to end at only ninety Chapters, or one hundred at most, but it exceeded those expectations by far.

Volume One, "The Awakening," has ended today.

Tomorrow, the new volume, "The Invasion," begins.

And don’t worry, the events of Volume Two are much better than this, and things will become heated from the very beginning!
