CHAPTER 597: CHAPTER 509: SUSPICIONS ABOUT THE IDENTITY (PART 2)

At least... in Uller’s eyes, it must be like this.

Of course, Eve couldn’t move her true form.

But she did have a True God-level avatar that could perform almost as powerfully as her true form.

At this moment, Eve felt she roughly understood the cause.

"Heh heh... Do they think they can stop me like this? The Divine Country of the World Tree... Ha, this is an information gap. She doesn’t know who I really am... If she did, she wouldn’t think she could stop me simply by hiding."

Eve shook her head.

She was the World Tree.

The former Divine Country, in some sense, could be inherited by her.

She only needed to find the former Divine Country, approach the former Divine Country, and connect her faith network to it, to receive the predecessor’s inheritance in a very short time.

Of course, this had a prerequisite: that there was still divine power inside the Divine Country to maintain certain operations.

And from previous observations, seeing that green energy had already proven that the previous Divine Country still maintained a certain vitality.

That meant... As long as Eve rushed out now, she had a great chance to gain control of the Divine Country!

Of course, this also carried a huge risk.

That was the possibility of exposing Eve’s true identity.

However, Eve believed that if she was just a bit more careful, she could minimize this danger.

Yet after making this inference, Eve suddenly felt a stir in her heart and gradually became more vigilant...

"No... that’s not right..."

"If she really wanted to stop me, why would she only hide when I was watching, and why did she let the players get the information?"

"Perhaps she deliberately let me see it..."

"This is a conspiracy!"

"Her purpose is to lure me over..."

"There’s surely an ambush there!"

It seemed she finally understood something, as Eve gradually calmed down again.

And after calming down, she suddenly realized another problem...

"There’s something else wrong..."

"The emergence of the Divine Country, why didn’t I sense it?"

"No matter what, I’m also counted as the predecessor’s inheritor and the World Tree."

"Even if the predecessor’s Divine Country and I never established a connection, if it descended to the Segis World, and it’s such a close world, I should have been able to sense it due to my connection with the world’s origin..."

Strange...

Very strange!

And understanding this point, Eve suddenly chuckled.

She understood.

"So that’s it. It’s a fake Divine Country. Most likely, this is an illusion created using a True Divine Artifact and an alternate dimension, right? The purpose is to lure me over..."

She withdrew her gaze and returned her consciousness to her true body.

Transferring back into the body of Divine Favored Zero, Eve opened her eyes.

However, at this moment, her expression was calmer than before.

This was a conspiracy.

Uller was using the "Divine Country of the World Tree" to lure her into making a move!

And this Divine Country most likely was not a Divine Country at all.

If there was a True Divine Artifact storing rich life divine power, and an alternate dimension was utilized, it could also be disguised as the Divine Country of the World Tree.

Uller certainly didn’t have such a Divine Artifact.

But other True Gods did.

Eve had heard from Hela that Uller’s main god, the War and Destruction God Lord, had such a True Divine Artifact of the World Tree—the Nature Crown.

And although Uller and the War God were said to not get along very well, Hela once told Eve during an information exchange that her archenemy, the God of Darkness and Shadow, Holder, had some rapport with the War God...

And this time, the God of Darkness and Shadow clearly meddled.

"Can’t rule out this factor..."

Eve murmured.

Of course, if it really were a former True Divine Artifact, it would be enormously attractive to her too.

But... one should never underestimate a True God.

Eve believed that if this really were a conspiracy, then there must be a power behind it that she could not rival waiting for her.

When she sealed Azazel during the underworld war, in some sense, she had already indirectly exposed her lesser divine power.

In such a situation, with enemies laying a trap, it indicated that the opposite side definitely had a trump card capable of defeating and restraining her.

That area certainly contained an alternate dimension.

If she rashly stepped in, it could very well become a cage to trap her.

Of course, even if Eve made a move, it was merely a True God avatar.

But even if it was just an avatar, Eve didn’t want it to fall into danger due to greed.

That would disrupt many of her plans.

"Everything that belongs to the World Tree, I will take back eventually, but I must remain calm now."

She comforted herself in her heart, suppressing the urge to act.

Eve had already figured it out, pretending that none of this had happened.

She wanted to steadily advance the war in the Death Desert according to the original plan, building up her strength step by step.

However, just when Eve planned to ignore this so-called "Divine Country of the World Tree," her actions paused once more.

She fell into silence, her gaze flickering uncertainly for a moment.

A moment later, her expression grew more and more heavy...

Even the entire Life Temple suddenly became incredibly oppressive.

"What’s wrong, Lord Ling?"

Beside her, Dongdong’s voice came both worried and curious.

"Nothing. Thank you for your efforts. You can leave now. Here’s your reward. I’ll handle the rest."

Eve shook her head, giving the girl a reward and issuing an order for her to leave.

Although not triggering a hidden storyline left Dongdong a bit disappointed, seeing the generous reward made her instantly light up with delight.
