Chapter 296 Past Events

   Arranging the ritual itself is not complicated, or the ritual magic has never been complicated. The difficult part of any ritual is always how to pull together all the elements to reenact the myth.

  Neh's reincarnation ritual is abstracted into simple units—“father”, “mother”, and the “child” who is the performer of the ritual.

   By repeating the two events of the child being killed by the father and swallowed by the mother, the result of "rebirth" is achieved.

  In the case that the **** "Father of the Wild" has been deactivated, the King of the Sacred Tree, whose blessing still remains, can only be said to be able to play the role of "Father" barely. Therefore, in order for the ritual to resonate sufficiently with the myth, the role of "mother" must be sufficiently restored.

   For this reason, Neh decided to directly awaken the "Mother of the Earth" to replace the "Sacred Tree Mother" as the will of the new tree of the world, and truly descend into the present world.

  According to the conclusion drawn by Neh's research, the "Sacred Tree Mother" believed in by the forest elves is inextricably linked with the "Earth Mother God" who devoured her own children. In other words, the "big mother" was probably a side that was biased towards "love" and was artificially divided by the ancestors of the forest elves back then.

   In this way, the deactivation of the "Sacred Tree Mother", to a certain extent, paved the way for the awakening of the true Earth Mother.

   This is also the deep reason why the secret sect of the Earth Goddess, which has been dormant in the Oak Council for thousands of years, will start to move after the end of the Lunar Crisis. After the "Holy Tree Mother" was deactivated, the more essential side of the Earth Mother God had the opportunity to resurface.

  It's a pity that those people chose the wrong time to act, and they couldn't help but test it before William Kane left the world. As for the final result... Although miraculously, those who were not hidden behind the scenes were not exposed, but their accumulated heritage for many years was also destroyed by that human god.

   After Neh completely controlled the secret sect, he finally completed the conditions for awakening the "Earth Mother Goddess" by studying the original materials handed down.

The former leader of the Hidden Sect of the Earth Mother, who was the real mastermind behind the transformation of Neh into a lich, claimed that the five thousand years of history of the forest elves were completely wrong before he was executed after losing his use value, but this mistake was not can't be saved.

   The real Mother Earth, in fact, has accompanied Ravenwood through the history of more than 5,000 years in another form. He once saw another possibility of Ravenwood's history in an extremely peaceful sleep under the revelation of the Mother Earth. The mission he was given was to wait for the return of Neh, the son of destiny, in order to reverse the wrong history.

   Although Neh didn't believe the man's madness, he also discovered that sleep was indeed the correct medium for communicating with the Mother Earth.

   The act of devouring one's own child, although in the eyes of a third party is a complete madness of sinking, but for the devouring child, what they can feel is the eternal darkness and warmth of returning to the mother's body.

   And the act that comes closest to that state is slumber.

   Taking this as an opportunity, after many failed attempts, Neh really communicated with the lost earth goddess through the dream of the dryad.

  On this basis, Neh relied on the dream as a medium to awaken part of the will of the earth mother goddess and guide her to the present world, making her use the tree of the world as a basis to devour his body and soul together...

  So, the reincarnation ceremony, which according to Sibilla's calculation, was less than one in ten thousand, turned out to be a miraculous success.

   A living Neh, after being completely devoured by the Mother Earth, was born again naked from the mother's body.

   But after this rebirth, Neh, the first and only sentence he uttered was—

   "Flee."

   Hearing this, Nezemar couldn't help gasping.

   Her gaze followed the direction Remedios pointed earlier, as if she was worried that something indescribable would suddenly come out from there.

   Of course, all she could see was the dark tunnel leading to the deeper depths at the end of the root hall.

   "Why did Mr. Neh tell you to run away?"

   Looking back, Nezemar asked carefully.

"I have no idea…"

   Remedios was also staring at the dark tunnel, but her gaze seemed to be far away. After a long while, she quietly retracted her gaze and said:

"This place was not like this before. The underground root system used to be a place full of vitality, without this damp musty smell, and there would not be so many dead branches and leaves. This was originally an exhibition of rare plants in the whole Vic continent. Hall, when the presiding judge lacked certain materials in the alchemy process, he would encourage Kos to come here to 'borrow' some."

   Looking at the distorted root system around and the piles of humus soil, Remedios continued:

"After Neh said the phrase 'run,' all the plants here began to rot at a speed visible to the naked eye. And the roots on the walls seemed to be alive, and began to attack automatically. Everyone in the hall. At first we thought it was a previous 'mini-disaster' that had not been extinguished, and we planned to work with Neh to solve the problem here...

"But Neh directly blocked the core area where he held the ceremony with [Zero Entropy]... At that time, Sibilla and I were exhausted from solving the flood of small 'calamities'. After several attempts to break through After the seal set by Neh failed, under the continuous attack of the surrounding roots, we finally had to escape temporarily.

   "I remember it was like this... Sibilla."

   After saying that, Remedios suddenly turned her head to look at the little girl who was being held by Nezmar.

   That girl named Elis Homer, who inherited that pair of [God's Eyes].

   I don't know when she was no longer her.

   This consciousness of Elis has been taken over by a will that, strictly speaking, may not have existed in real history.

   "I really miss it... Ms. Ranger. But it's only a dozen years for me, and it's almost a thousand years for you."

   Hearing the girl whom he had been holding, spoke in a tone that was completely unlike her, Nezmael withdrew his hand as if electrocuted.

   "Sybila... ma'am?"

  Nezemar asked tentatively, stammering.

Stargazer Sibylla Homer can use her eyes that transcend time and space to travel through time without affecting the rate of causality through the history that never happened - this is what Lord Judge explained to Nezemar before, But it was really difficult for her to understand this concept, and she finally regarded this phenomenon as the ability of the member of the tribunal to possess her own inheritor, just like summoning her ancestors in undead magic.

   "We met again, the judge's believer lady... Speaking of which, this title was beaten by the judge in our time."

   opened his eyes, which were covered with a layer of white hood, and "Ellis" glanced at Nezemar with interest, then turned to look at Remedios.

   "You seem to have guessed that I left a record here?"

  Sibilla asked her with a smile.

"When I heard the presiding judge say that you can leave a mark on the false history that never existed through those eyes that span the past and the future, I guessed that you will definitely leave something here... After all, what happened here is a secret between the two of us."

   Remedios answered coldly.

   It seems that she is not too excited to see her former ally again.

   "So why didn't you tell the presiding judge what happened to Neh at that time? Since you're here, it means that things are starting to go out of control again, right?"

  Sibila also restrained herself and smiled back when she heard the words.

"I forgot."

   Remedios answered dryly.

   "Lying."

   The smile on Sibilla's face gradually disappeared, and she also said without any emotion.

"Then what do you want me to say? Said that it was because he prevented Neh from committing suicide that the rotten lady had a second chance to be born? Or tell him that after Neh regained his body, he changed his mind. It has become the humanoid lunar rift that Camilla can break through the shell of the world, so he has to choose to go to the Ruins of Ossis for the second time and exile himself to the end of the world?"

   "Or maybe you're afraid to let the presiding judge know..."

   Sibilla slowly interrupted Remedios, and she paused for a while, and the expression on her face gradually became gloomy.

   Then her lips twitched, and Nezemar felt as if she heard a mosquito bite.

   But to Remedios, the other party's words exploded in her ears like thunder.

   "It was you who revealed Neh's last whereabouts to the Tacoma Order, allowing them to successfully besiege a member of the Tribunal at the Ruins of Ossis.

   "You're afraid to let William know that you killed Neh with the help of outsiders."
