Chapter 1448: Yggdrasil’s Plan
The world seemed to turn colder for a second, and Yggdrasil cursed far above in Sylph’s heaven. She could feel the very sky glaring down at her, the space around her roots growing tighter, and the wind twisting her branches a bit too much.
Sylph looked at her; she, too, had sensed the shift. She could tell at a glance that it was something that Arad did, but couldn’t tell exactly what it was.
"If Tina dies, I’m fucked, so you better cooperate. Is what the world is saying." Yggdrasil sighed, "I can indeed help that woman with a shattered soul, but not as much as he or the world expects. I’ll be giving her the tools, but not the effort. It’s like trying to lose weight or gain muscle. In her case, it’s like a physical therapy to her soul after it was disabled for years."
Sylph had heard of Arad’s maid before, the one named Tina. She was probably the only human in the world with such influence due to having Arad at her side. While most human lives are worth just as much as their lives are worth, she, on the other hand, got AO behind, and even if no one knows about him yet, Chad also had a hand in protecting her, and the human god is known for being a pain to deal with.
"Can you help her?"
Yggdrasil hesitated for a second, "I can give her a chance, but if she makes a mistake, she is more than dead. Her soul would crumble and she’ll exist no more."
The branch of the world tree rustled, moving slowly with the wind. "Her soul is shattered into many fragments, so she needs to start fusing them one by one, and to do that, she needs a lot of energy."
"If she fails, her soul would lose balance, crumble, and that’ll be her end." Sylph stood from her massive wooden throne. As she did, a large branch emerged beneath her feet and carried her forward. So you want to send her to one of your worlds?"
The world tree seemed to nod, and Sylph sighed, "Then send her to the weakest world with the least expectations and power ceiling. The last thing we want is her getting bullied into giving up. Since she is going to start working with tiny shards of her soul, her potential would seem and will be lower than any normal human for a long while."
"I already found one, but even there, and with the most accepting school, her talent would be laughed at, she might even get rejected outright. You can’t compete with normal humans when you have less than a thousandth of your soul to work with. Let alone with talents trying to cultivate their souls and power."
"Let me guess." Sylph smiled, "The Emerald Grove, the Topaz Star, or the Million Mountains of Ashbrow." Those were the names of some of Yggdrasil’s worlds, where she is the sole divine being. In those worlds, the people worshipped and prayed to the World Tree; to them, it was their source of all life in their world.
"I’ll send her to the Emerald Grove, if she is willing to take the risk. Only because there is a school there with a very nice old lady at the top, and that one is quite a devoted follower and would be willing to take the matter seriously."
