GREED: ALL FOR WHAT?

Chapter 925 Changes To The Plane.

Of course, this impatience drew the attention of a third party. The demon God didn't notice Ragnarok but it surely noticed this unborn Empress. It is fighting the Will of the plane so it noticed that the movement and actions of the Will of the plane within a living being in the plane. The demon god began to move its forces to eliminate her.

The will of the plane knew that its activities wouldn't go without being noticed but it did it anyway. It did it for several reasons. The first reason is the chance to mold the Empress into a bane to Vampires. So it swapped out the law of earth in her divine ability for something more dangerous to Vampires.

The second reason and the most important one is the supply of infinite energy that the fetus will get through their connection. This will ensure that the fetus grows to its best potential and also speed up the development process. That wouldn't protect the new child of the plane. After all, potential is not equal to strength. 

So to keep the child of the plane safe, the will of the plane made a deal with the fountain of life. The two of them are enemies normally. The fountain of life is an invader and the will of the plane hates invaders. 

Their enmity is worse because of what the fountain of life is. The Will of the plane has tried to eliminate the fountain of life before and they were still at each other's throats just before the demon god came to their plane. But the fountain of life accepted the deal for the greater good. 

It is good for the fountain of life to have two potential people who can help with the fight against the demon God of Carnage. Besides, it doesn't hate or want to kill the Will of the plane. It is just defending itself against the attacks of the Will of the plane. If it wanted to, it could have done something worse than cursing the Warrogs.

The Fountain of Life's decision to protect the child of the plane led to the mobilization of the tree people. The fountain of life has always had a beneficial relationship with the tree people. So it got the word out to them about protecting the Warrogs. 

The fountain of life didn't tell the tree people anything specific since they can be easily compromised by the demon God of Carnage. It only told them to protect the Warrogs but didn't mention anything about Emperors or Executioners, who they were, or where they were. The fountain of life even sent out its own forces to help out.

All these changes happened in the plane without Ragnarok noticing. He thinks his reincarnation and birth went smoothly apart from the problem of his dying mother. He thinks he just has to keep his head down and stay low for him to avoid trouble. He is partly right. He will be completely right if the three main forces in the plane are not aware of his existence and are not interested in him.

In a City Controlled by the Tree People.

This city is called Lush Mountain. It was named so because it was formed by massive evergreen trees that are as tall as mountains. The trees formed a thick forest that has resisted change for millions of years. 

Lush Mountain has been one of the abodes of the tree people since ancient times. They built shelters on the branches of trees and around the trees. None of the trees were removed to create space for the tree people. The tree people lived in complete harmony with their environment so no harm came to the trees.

Despite the limitations of space due to the size of the trees, the tree people managed to create a sprawling city with high-rise structures. The trees are skyscrapers if one isn't picky with the term. Roads of vines were formed between trees. There are ladders everywhere that were used to reach tall places for those who can't fly. As for those that can fly, there is no problem at all with getting anywhere. 

This city is a utopia for the tree people. This utopia was threatened when the sun was blocked. The lack of light and the plummeting temperature threatened to destroy the city. The Vitality of the trees was put to the test. 

The tree people had to do something they hated to do in order to preserve the city. They built a barrier around the city to protect it and created an artificial source of light within the enclosed city to preserve the city.

The city was saved but the tree people were not happy about it. They were not happy because what they did to save it interfered with the natural order of the world. They had to isolate the lush mountain from the rest of the world for their selfishness. It goes against everything that they stand for. They are supposed to be guardians of the forest that maintains the natural order of things. They aren't supposed to interfere with nature.

Some might say that they are nitpicking and being hard on themselves. After all, the blockage of the sun is not natural and they are only rectifying the disorder caused by the advent of the demon God. That reasoning elevated the mood of the tree people but it didn't last long because they had to do more things that they ought not to do in order to preserve the world. 

The lush mountain is not the only forest in danger because of the demon God. Are they to isolate the entire plane and create an artificial sun? They refused to do that. So they watched as their beloved trees wilted and died.

They mourned the loss of their forests as they planted new trees that could survive in the low light and cold temperatures. It was a plane-wide replacement of trees. Many tree people cried and mourned the death of so many trees.
