Novel Full Chapter 201
—–
Erika and Chris continued reading the other books, while Eric began to talk with me about the Yggdrasil Tree, as I had grown rather curious about it. Eleanora as well, she was also quite curious after all. In our previous world, we have possessed many of these trees. They are spread all over the world and are said to be branches that were cut from an original Cosmic Yggdrasil Tree that encompass all of the Universe, spreading its seeds in several worlds. These seeds are said to reach certain worlds and flourish by draining energy. They purify the air and create habitable atmospheres, pretty much terraforming an entire planet.
They are a great mystery, but in my previous life I had untapped several of its secrets. I had even managed to find a “path” that could lead me to the real Yggdrasil Cosmic Tree, but I was unable to reach it as I had decided to fight Lucifer first. His army of demons were infesting the universe and he was always getting on my way, so I did it out of pure anger now that I think about it…
One of the great reasons why the Universe was so filled with life everywhere was thanks to the many seeds of Yggdrasil. Even in worlds that didn’t had the trees, they might had had them once, and then the trees might had withered, but life continued in such worlds and simply adapted to harsher environments over time through evolution. Of course, some rare worlds also adapted life on their own without the help of Yggdrasil Trees, and others were created by Gods. I assume this world is like that type of world, one created by Gods, which people call the “Holy Spirits”.
These worlds are usually not present at mere sight in the outer universe, as the gods protect them from the dangerous universe outside by putting them in self-contained pocket dimensions. This is perhaps why I never met Spiritias in my life before… But this also opens another question, where did this tree came from? Did the gods, the Holy Spirits, planted it? Or did it somehow found its way in here? Or was this world originally one made by an Yggdrasil Tree that then somehow became a self-contained world? There are too many questions, and I am afraid Eric might never be able to answer them. I am left hopeless in my research for such rich knowledge, sadly.
…Nonetheless, I can still enjoy this life as it is, even the littlest of things excites me, and I am constantly learning more about this world as it is. The Book said things about the tree birthing humans and elves… and perhaps other races through its fruits. This kind of fits with the Yggdrasil Trees I know about. They’re usually good sources of magic and spiritual energy. And I remember planting a lot of them inside my own Divine Realm, a small dimension that beings that have reached the god realm and beyond create inside their souls… which is strangely similar to the Spirit Realm inside my Spirit Orb, something that apparently nobody else than me has for some mysterious reason.
Anyways, I decided to continue asking Eric about many things, anything he knew about the tree would suffice. I was thirsty for any sort of knowledge or even his own hypothesis, the boy showed a lot of great talent and intelligence, so I was sure he could give me more info or his own view about this entire “myth”.
“The World Tree of Yggdrasil is said to possess great secrets… What my ancestor documented here is the surface information. It seems as if he had traveled the world and reached the tree, which is a mystery in many ways.” Said Eric.
“Hmmm… I see. Do you know anything else about this?” I asked him.
“Well, I am quite happy you’re so interested on it. I have made a lot of speculations and hypothesis about it! What I think is that this tree might be related with some of the notes of my ancestor here…” He said.
“Notes?” I wondered.
“Look…” Eric pointed at the notes in the book, as I found several interesting things.
It read like this:
“After incessantly seeking the Spirit Tree, I have found it. Deep within the large mountains made out by the gigantic corpse of an Ancient Titan, a god that once walked amongst men, I have found it, Yggdrasil. The enormous tree boasts a gigantic size, anybody within this continent can clearly see the tree all the way into the skies. Only because the continent where I come from is in the other side of the world is that people in there cannot see it.”
“The natives of this area are mysterious. I had never seen such people before. They call themselves “Messengers of Yggdrasil” and have pointy ears and colorful hair. I had spoken with one of them. They seem to not like me. They dislike visitors and possess enough magic power to even fend off entire armies of humans. I suppose this is why this area of the continent was said to be a “wilderness where men should not step on”. Not only monsters are incredibly powerful but the Elves of this place are zealous and xenophobic.”
“However, even amongst all of this I have found some good people. Apparently there were humans in here, and many. There are several tribes of humans spread across these vast wilderness. Some call themselves Amazon, boasting brown skin and enormously strong physiques, even the women are as tall as the men and they are incredibly well adapted to live in these areas of the world. I have even found “Brownies” little people that seem to remain child-like for all their lives, they live beneath the tree roots and seem to be amazing at controlling the earth. They seem more fairy-like than even Elves, and are strangely nice with me…”
“And then, there are Lizardmen, lizard-like folk that are savage and rude. I was caught by them and I was almost eaten alive before I was able to convince them that it was better to let me live in exchange for my knowledge. Strangely enough, a woman of their tribe was interested in me and I spent a night with her. I never thought I would have such a passionate night with a lizard woman… But thanks to her, they let me go.”
Hm, there are indeed very interesting things there, and then… some weird things at the end.
