Chapter 374: Vol5 Ch44: Blueprint of the Tree of Life

Translator: La0o9

? Mequik describes the world as the World Tree, also known as the Tree of Life ?

This was how ‘Negary’ remembered Mequik’s Pathway. Through researching the structure and formation of Life, she eventually completed the blueprint for her personal Tree of Life.

? Every element is a lifeform, which would ultimately constitute the complete Tree of Life and encompasses an entire World ?

The blueprint of the Tree of Life that Mequik had drawn up slowly appeared in ‘Negary’s’ mind.

? Of course, that is Mequik’s personal blueprint and her Pathway. As every lifeform is different, so too would the blueprint of every lifeform ?

? Which means, I must slowly draft and design my personal Tree of Life blueprint as well ?

‘Negary’ continued to siphon vitality mana from his surroundings, then transfer it into various objects in accordance with the life structures that he had collected, animating them into abominable creatures under his control.

“Power of the Great Bear!” an abrupt shout resounded.

A druid bearing the insignia of Life Bearer had uttered that battle cry as his body rapidly expanded. His brown hair swiftly grew all over his body as his face protruded forward, turning into an ursine face. As his Half Life Church druid garb completely burst open, his large bear hands immediately swiped towards the nearest human.

That person’s mana glowed abruptly bright for a split second before it went completely dim, he was then sent flying by the bear claw into the wall of the hall. His entire body now looked like a mass of pulp on the wall that didn’t even appear remotely humanoid.

The mass of pulp rapidly dried up as everything within was absorbed by the moving Mana Fetus on the table and became its nutrients; if someone entered the Mana Fetus’ stomach right now, they would have a chance of inheriting the dead person’s abilities.

? Lifeform overlay... ?observing the humanoid Great Bear from the Half Life Church, ‘Negary’ reached a bit of epiphany.

The Half Life Church worshipped Life Bearer, they didn’t divide themselves into priests and knights, as all members of the church referred to themselves as druids. By conducting druidic rituals, they would obtain a large amount of vitality mana, and once their rituals reached a certain degree, they would obtain a corresponding life structure.

By combining these life structures with their own forms, they would be able to transform the same way this humanoid Great Bear had done.

For this reason, the druids of the Half Life Church believed that human life was incomplete, that they were born with only half of themselves. According to them, humans needed to obtain the life structures from God and fuse it with themselves in order to fill in their missing half. Ultimately, they would become one with their God and become whole once more, thus leading to the Half Life Church name.

It was said that a top-level druid of the Half Life Church could have up to three transformations. Due to personal suitability, there were numerous life structures they could obtain, with the most common being Great Bear, Dire Wolf, and various birds of prey.

Of course, there were also those who obtained different life structures like Rock Golems, Ents, and Mer-humans.

Evidently, this Half Life Druid was currently in his Great Bear form, although there were also differences in the Great Bear form of different people. For example, a normal person’s Great Bear form might just be a regular bear, but once they had meticulously studied and perfectly fused their own vitality with their life structure, then they would instead become a Mystic Bear.

The might of the Mystic Bear had fully been revealed after crushing an opponent to a pulp in one swipe.

? My brother, let us join forces to beat these guys to death, returning them to the embrace of the Tree of Life ?the Great Beat roared towards ‘Negary’. With his current large frame, even trying to whisper would make it sound like he was shouting.

‘Negary’ frowned.

? Is this Half Life Druid really that straightforward? I’ve only revealed the tiniest bit of life structure technique and the other party already considered me an ally ?

? Although, this assumption isn’t incorrect either ?

With Mequik and Negary’s secret alliance, he could also be considered half a member of the Half Life Church. From a certain perspective, his position might even be higher than a Saint Soul Awakened.

? Does this guy not know about the Great Magus’ current state? ?

While ‘Negary’ pondered this, his hands didn’t stop for even a second. A large amount of vitality mana poured out of his body into the ground underneath his feet. The ground swiftly moved as if it had come to life, producing a huge claw to grab the Sun Shadow Knight who was preoccupied with the abominations.

At the same time, a stone tail manifested from the ground to swing at a mage who still hadn’t managed to react in time.

‘Negary’ wasn’t sure what Mequik was preparing to do. From the looks of it, this entity had silently and unknowingly taken control of Great Magus Stim, but also somehow exposed an aura of vitality, which drew gazes from every side.

? Or perhaps, Mequik still hasn’t been able to completely take over the Great magus, and the exposed aura of vitality was actually the Great Magus’ attempt at saving himself? This is also possible ?

With this in mind, ‘Negary’ observed the Great Magus who was sitting at the host seat once again. Either due to his confirmation bias or because that was actually the case, ‘Negary’ noticed that despite the Great Magus being expressionless, a faint hint of retaliation could still be seen on his face.

? If this is the case, then the goal of the other Churches would be to save the Great Magus, while the Half Life Church’s goal is to stall for time until Mequik fully takes over him ?

After analyzing, the situation seemed to have become clear.

Other than those who couldn’t discern the true circumstances, everyone here had inadvertently divided themselves into two factions, one being the Sun Shadow Church and the other Churches, and the other being those from the Half Life Church.

No wonder the druid assumed his Mystic Bear transformation so quickly, it turned out that things had gotten to a crucial moment before anyone even realized it. Having understood this, ‘Negary’ began using his full strength.

“The Great Magus secret order!” with an abrupt shout, the blond-haired Eyre1 stepped out from behind the Great Magus, produced a scroll in his hand, and ripped it apart, releasing the immense mana inside.

That mana contained the Great Magus’ unique signatures, which was familiar to everyone who was part of the House of Mages, and the secret order contained within would also suggest a lot of things.

[Help Sir Negary take control of the Mana Fetus]

The name Negary within this secret order was invoked through a unique magic technique, it made sure that everyone who came into contact with Negary’s existence would instantly understand who Negary was.

Master of the Impure Hermit Order, Infector of Worlds, a Demigod on the same level as the Great Magus.

Following the reveal of this true name, the appearance of the bald young man from before abruptly changed. An almost terrifying sense of charm emanated from him like tentacles that wrapped around everyone on site. Killer J’s previous conjecture was correct, as the bald young man was indeed another of Negary’s clones.

A large number of golden particles rapidly converged towards the bald young man and further escalated the battle.

Eyre breathed heavily as he gradually took distance from Great Magus Stim, the other mages were still a bit surprised, unclear why a so-called ‘Great Magus secret order’ would show up while the Great Magus was sitting right next to them.

“Eyre, have you betrayed me? You should know better than anyone how much I hold you in high regards” Stim looked at Eyre and slowly spoke.

“Then please show your mana signature and use it to prove that you are still yourself!” Eyre bravely replied.

After he returned from delivering Negary’s invitation, the Great Magus didn’t accept Negary’s reply and instead told him to keep hold of it, after which he received plenty of hidden messages and hints for him to examine Negary’s reply.
