Chapter 334: World Tree Seed
Orion’s vision blurred momentarily from the unending flood of energies coursing violently through him. Still, determination flared fiercely within his heart, giving him the strength to endure the agonizing torrent.
He felt the vast power from the Core Fragment continue rushing through him, merging completely with the World Tree Seed, reshaping it from within. With every passing moment, the seed changed, glowing brighter, becoming an even more profound existence.
Yet Orion knew he must guide it properly, or he risked irreparably damaging his foundation.
With a monumental effort, he gathered the remnants of his consciousness and dived once more into his Sea of Consciousness.
Just as his consciousness plunged back into the turbulent expanse of his Sea of Consciousness, he was immediately engulfed by an overwhelming maelstrom of violent energy.
Chaotic torrents of emerald and gold interwove fiercely around the radiant World Tree Seed, now gleaming like a miniature star, blazing brightly at the core of his SoC.
He stared at the seed, his internal avatar standing atop his fractured Sea of Consciousness. Massive fissures continued spreading beneath him, widening ominously as his foundation trembled under the seed’s relentless, insatiable devouring of mana.
Yet, even amidst the chaos, Orion felt something more alarming, a faint yet rapidly solidifying presence beginning to coalesce within the seed, a consciousness distinct from his own, instinctively taking shape within the unfathomable storm of pure energy.
Orion’s eyes widened sharply in instant recognition and urgency. "No! I can’t allow this!" he growled, anxiousness filling his voice. His mind raced rapidly through the possibilities, each passing second dangerously narrowing his options.
Lumi, hovering anxiously nearby, sensed Orion’s mounting anxiety, her voice resonating urgently within his Sea of Consciousness.
[Master! The seed is forming its own consciousness! If that happens, it will no longer be under your control—it will become its own entity!]
Orion’s face tightened, his expression grim yet resolved. He clenched his fists tightly, steeling his resolve as he stared into the blinding radiance emanating from the seed.
