Game of the World Tree - Chapter 650

650. Chapter 647 The Secret of the Withered Heart

After Azazel complained for a while, he finally gave in.

He successfully promoted from the contractor of the Demon God Labyrinth to the contractor of the Demon God Labyrinth + Titan Ruins.

Eve was quite satisfied with the choice of the Seventh Demon Lord.

“Although he complained a little, he agreed quite straightforwardly. It seems that there is still potential to be tapped.”

He thought with a wicked smile.

After that, Eve pondered for a while, and simply used the priest system in the game network to pick a few dedicated priest players and sent them two hidden tasks.

The hidden task was the same as the one sent to the first priest player, Tingting, a while ago. It was still the coordinates of the Titan Ruins, which were located to the west of the Forest of Elves and the two ruins in the Death Desert.

These two Titan ruins have been excavated, and there is probably nothing good in them.

However, this is only for Eve. For the players, the rubbish in the eyes of the true gods may be the best treasures in their eyes, so there is still great development value.

After the players have explored, they can directly send the Fairy King Finnel to go there again, and let Azazel refresh the subsequent wild monsters of the two ruins.

Perfect.

Of course, these two ruins should not bring any big surprises to Eve.

At most, they will become a new copy to divert players like the first Titan ruins, slowly providing strength to Eve and bringing happiness to the players.

However, the undiscovered Titan ruins on the Plenty Plains can still be expected…

Undiscovered means that there are likely to be real artifacts or even other good things.

As previously envisioned, Eve flipped through the player’s roster and began to look for the high-level players she was familiar with and recognized, intending to send them a task to explore the Titan ruins in the Plenty Plains as a preliminary exploration.

However, just after Eve checked a few IDs, she suddenly felt a call from the dwarf and forging god Dorft.

That was the contact method agreed upon by him and the location was still the Pantheon.

“Dolft? The Withered Heart was repaired so quickly?”

Eve was stunned, and then delighted.

It was less than a month since He last met him, and the efficiency of repairing this artifact could be said to be quite fast.

With anticipation, He temporarily put aside the release of the exploration mission of the ruins of the Plenty Plains, responded to the call again, and entered the Pantheon…

The light flickered, Eve’s consciousness flowed, and the surging divine power turned into a projection, appearing on the throne of life and nature in the Pantheon.

When He came here, the dwarf and forging god Dorft was already waiting.

However, when Eve looked at him, she found that the dwarf true god was looking at her seriously and vigilantly.

Hmm?

What happened?

Looking at Dorft’s expression as if he was facing a great enemy, Eve’s heart moved, and then she became alert.

“Your Majesty Dorft, what’s wrong with you? Is there something wrong with the Withered Heart?”

He asked in a deep voice.

Hearing Eve’s question, Dorft did not answer immediately.

The dwarf true god nodded first, then shook his head.

After that, He looked at Eve, his eyes full of scrutiny and solemnity:

“Your Highness Eve, I have a few questions to ask you.”

Questions?

Eve’s heart skipped a beat.

“Please ask.”

He said.

Dorft took a deep breath, and then asked a question that made Eve feel puzzled:

“Your Highness Eve, how do you… view the abyss?”

How do you view the abyss?

Eve was slightly stunned.

He hesitated for a moment, thinking about why the dwarf and the god of forging would ask this.

The other party looked like he was judging his position…

Hmm?

Position?

Eve’s heart moved slightly as her eyes swept across the magnificent and solemn relief in the Pantheon.

He pondered for a moment and chose the most appropriate answer that was most acceptable to the gods:

“The Abyss is the enemy of the gods. It can pollute all planes of the Segos Crystal Wall System and bring disaster to the world…”

“As true gods, we must fight against the power of the Abyss to the end.”

Eve’s voice was ethereal and clear, echoing in the Pantheon.

While listening to his answer, Dorft was vigilantly paying attention to the changes in the reliefs of the Pantheon.

When he found that the reliefs had no reaction, he finally breathed a sigh of relief:

“The relief of the truth has not changed. That’s great, Your Majesty Eve… It seems that you have not been polluted by the Abyss.”

Polluted?

Eve’s heart skipped a beat.

Not to mention whether the world tree that can absorb the power of the Abyss will be polluted, how can the power of the Abyss have the opportunity to invade his soul.

“What happened? To the point that you actually need to rely on the Pantheon’s Land of Truth to verify my position? Is it related to the Withered Heart?”

Eve asked with a frown.

Dorft sighed and nodded:

“Yes, it is indeed related to the Withered Heart.”

After saying that, He looked at Eve again and asked:

“Your Majesty Eve, the second question is, have you ever used divine power to purify the Withered Heart?”

Purify the Withered Heart?

When did I purify the Withered Heart?

Eve looked puzzled.

He was about to say no, but suddenly his heart moved, and a picture emerged from the depths of his soul…

It was the memory of when He had just obtained the Withered Heart and was conducting an identification and exploration.

Recalling this memory, Eve’s expression suddenly became serious.

No…

He had purified it…

He did purify the Withered Heart, just when He had just obtained this real artifact…

and he easily and thoroughly cleared all the abyss power in the Withered Heart!

But how could he forget this?

Not to mention, why did he acquiesce to the fact that the Withered Heart was still contaminated by the power of the Abyss when he handed it to Dorft?

No, it was not acquiesce, but there was indeed contamination, otherwise Dorft would not have said that the power of the Abyss inside was difficult to remove…

In other words, he did not completely eliminate the power of the Abyss at all!

However, when he communicated with Dorft about this matter, he did not notice anything wrong, and he even directly ignored that he had “purified” this real artifact…

At this point, Eve’s expression sank slightly.

He suddenly realized that he might have been affected by some mysterious power without knowing it, and then his memory and judgment were disturbed…

When was it?

The moment he got the Withered Heart?

Or the moment he purified it?

“It seems that you seem to have noticed it.”

Seeing Eve’s slightly changed expression, Dorft sighed softly.

“What did you find?”

Eve asked solemnly.

Dorft raised his hand slightly, and a light flashed in his hand, and a skull necklace appeared, which was the Withered Heart.

He looked at the Withered Heart and said,

“Your Highness Eve, if I am not mistaken, this artifact is probably not a sealing artifact, but a contaminated mind control artifact…”

“Contaminated mind control artifact?”

Eve frowned.

“That’s right.”

Dorft continued:

“The story starts from when I brought it back to the Kingdom of God…”

“Your Majesty Eve, after I brought the Heart of Withering back to the Kingdom of God, I began to repair it. Before the repair, I planned to try my best to remove the Abyss power in it…”

“In my original plan, I planned to spend three days to suppress the Abyss power as much as possible, but… after I finished on the first day, I forgot about it on the second day, and tacitly assumed that I had done it.”

“If it weren’t for the habit I developed before I became a god, I would record my daily forging records, perhaps I wouldn’t have noticed it until I repaired this true artifact.”

“But fortunately, I have the habit of looking through the previous day’s forging records every day, and I found a clue.”

“Unknowingly, my memory and judgment were affected by this true artifact…”

“Not only that, when I found out about this and asked the gods who assisted me in repairing the artifact, I found that they had also forgotten about it, and two of the gods were even contaminated by some Abyss power…”

After hearing what Dorft said, Eve’s face became serious:

“Withered Heart?”

“Yes, it was the pollution of Withered Heart, and no one could detect it. If I hadn’t been wearing the Heart Lock, I might have been polluted.”

Dolft said with a wry smile.

There was still a trace of fear on his face:

“But fortunately, the situation of the two God Messengers is not serious. At most, it just makes their personalities a little paranoid. I spent some time to purify them.”

“So… you are worried that I, who have been using it for a long time and even recognized it as my master, will also be polluted?”

Eve asked.

“That’s right.”

Dolft nodded.

He breathed a sigh of relief:

“But fortunately, you haven’t been affected yet. It seems that your resistance to the abyss is stronger than I thought…”

Because I am the World Tree, I do have super resistance. Otherwise… I am afraid I would have been polluted long ago.

Eve said in her heart.

He thought for a moment and frowned slightly:

“But my memory seems to have been affected. I remembered that I had purified it before, and it was a thorough purification…”

“This is another problem I found. Your Majesty Eve, after I noticed the strange power of the Heart of Withering, I spent a lot of divine power and carefully examined it under the premise of taking good protection. I found that it is not a sealed artifact, but a rare artifact that affects the mental state!”

Dorft said excitedly.

He stroked the skull necklace in his hand and sighed:

“It’s just… it seems to have been disguised in some way, showing the appearance of a sealed artifact, but in essence, it is not a seal, but a mental suggestion to the target, suggesting that the other party’s own power has been completely imprisoned, so that the target will actively and unconsciously seal its own power…”

“This is its true power!”

“Of course, it affects our judgment through this power, but because it is eroded by the power of the abyss, this influence will shift to the abyss side… So, the various problems before will arise.”

So that’s it…

Eve was slightly enlightened.

He couldn’t help but look at the Heart of Withering, and was surprised.

What kind of true artifact is this? It can even hide the existence of the recognized master?

However, this explains why he had memory deviation before.

A spiritual artifact that can affect the judgment of the true god can be said to be quite terrifying…

“So, have you repaired it?”

Eve asked again.

Dorft shook his head:

“This is related to the last question I want to ask…”

As he said, his expression became serious:

“Your Majesty Eve, do you really want to use it? You should be able to imagine how terrifying an artifact that is infected by the power of the abyss and can affect the will of the true god is…”

“This artifact reminds me of a secret… It is said that at the end of the Titan Era, the war that swept the two major races of Titans and Dragons was actually fought by the Titans who rose later, and the trump card of the Titan giants was not their powerful physique, but the mysterious and powerful sealing power…”

It turned out to be like this?

Did the Titans rely on the Heart of Withering to fight the dragons?

Eve was surprised.

Even He who had the inheritance of the World Tree did not know these things.

In the inheritance of the World Tree, many key memories and knowledge were not preserved…

“If that’s the case, why did the Titans be exterminated in the war between the Titans and the dragons?”

Eve frowned and asked again.

However, although he asked this question, he already had some guesses in his heart…

Dolft glanced at the Withered Heart in his hand, his eyes sighed.

He sighed and said:

“That battlefield brought disaster to the entire Crystal Wall System…”

“But in the end, it was not the dragons that led to the extinction of the Titans…”

“In the final battle, many mythical Titans, including the Titan King Anos, went crazy…”

“The mythical Titans went crazy and began to attack each other. A shocking war of gods took place in the Titan King’s Court, which directly caused the Titan plane controlled by the Titans to completely collapse, and the Titans were eventually destroyed…”

Speaking of this, Dorft raised his head and looked at Eve with a serious expression:

“Your Majesty Eve, the Heart of Withering came from the ruins of the Titan King’s Court…”

After hearing the words of the Dwarf True God, Eve’s heart moved slightly.

He knew what the other party meant.

Dorft suspected that the Titans were contaminated by the power of the abyss during the use of the Withered Heart, and then fell one after another…

In other words, the complete version of the Withered Heart is more powerful than He imagined, and the power of the abyss that cannot be completely eliminated due to the inherent ability of the Withered Heart itself makes it extremely dangerous…

This is a double-edged sword that is so powerful that even the true gods cannot control it!

“Your Majesty Eve, do you still ask me to repair this true artifact now?” Dorft,

the god of dwarves and forging, asked seriously.

_(:з」∠)_

Let me tell you the truth about an author’s writing…

Sometimes, when writing, after the number of words increases, you will really forget the plot you wrote before, even if you list a detailed outline (the outline of this collapse has expanded from 10,000 words at the beginning to nearly 50,000 words with the coding…), there will be mistakes and omissions.

In this case, the author has three choices.

The worst option is to ignore it directly. Anyway, it is a long story, and readers will forget the previous plot.

The middle strategy is to modify the wrong part to make up for it.

The best strategy is to find a way to make it right according to the needs of the subsequent plot…
