Chapter 1457: Chapter 1414: Training Ground Chapter 1457: Chapter 1414: Training Ground “Is this the Mother of All Things?”

Gazing at the towering tree that penetrated the skies before him, Muria could not help but marvel. He had seen the World Tree sapling protected by the Elves in his childhood, but that Divine Tree evolving from a single leaf into an Elf Courtyard was incomparable to what he saw before him now.

The gap between the two was fundamentally not on the same level. If the Elf Race’s World Tree could be said to transform each leaf into a courtyard, then the one before him could transform each leaf into a city.

Indeed, at this moment, even from tens of thousands of miles away, one could see the astonishing scale of the World Tree. A single leaf was so huge that a city capable of supporting tens of thousands of inhabitants could be built upon it.

“That is, to be precise, a part of the Mother of All Things, one of her offshoots.”

“An offshoot?”

Muria was somewhat surprised, but he quickly composed himself. Such a scale was indeed shocking, but this level was in line with the character of the Mother of All Things that could erode a major world. That was normal.

“Yes, the Mother of All Things has many such offshoots. How many there are exactly, I’m not certain.”

“Wait, if the Mother of All Things exists in this form, does that mean she doesn’t have a true main body?” Muria asked, frowning.

“That’s correct.”

The Shiyu Dominator, who had brought Muria to view his trophy, glanced at him and nodded.

“So even if we destroy all the offshoots of the Mother of All Things that have invaded the major world, we can’t be sure whether she has fallen?” Muria’s frown deepened. He felt it was very troublesome.

“Yes, the Mother of All Things definitely has other plans in the parts of the Void. In that case, even if we destroy these offshoots, we are just causing her significant losses, not eradication.”

“This makes it troublesome.” Muria felt somewhat distressed. When dealing with enemies of this sort, the nature required complete eradication or cutting the problem at its root; at the very least, one had to suppress the enemy forever.

Enemies like the Mother of All Things, who could seemingly be eradicated only to resurface later, were particularly vexing.

“It’s not troublesome. Tracing back to the source is a small trick I still possess!” The Shiyu Dominator cheerfully said, like a benevolent and gentle elder.

Hearing this, Muria immediately smiled, his worries unfurled. He had almost forgotten that the Shiyu Dominator had wandered the Void for hundreds of thousands of years, encountering myriad foes, certainly including existences like the Mother of All Things. Naturally, there were ways to deal with them.

“What do I need to do now?” Muria inquired. In terms of war, the Titan Side undoubtedly had the advantage, but this advantage was not yet decisive for victory.

“What do you want to do?” The Shiyu Dominator cheerfully looked at Muria.

“To permanently eliminate the Mother of All Things.” Muria replied without hesitation; his purpose for being here was to become the master of the world, and the Mother of All Things was the final obstacle.

“That’s no problem, you can just join us. However, I have a question for you.”

“Please ask.” Muria held great respect for this elder; his years of survival had completely transformed into his foundation, a route he could not shortcut.

“How much loss can you accept?”

“Um?”

“Imagine this! An epic being that had the chance to devour a major world, suddenly faced with a group of obstructions from the Void, and ultimately nearing success but failing at the last step. What do you think such a being would do?”

“I can’t imagine.” Muria could only give this answer; his experiences were too shallow to address such a question.

“Have you ever witnessed the destruction of a major world?” The Shiyu Dominator suddenly asked a question that made Muria’s heart thump.

“No.” Muria honestly replied. Let alone a major world, he had not even seen a minor world collapse, as he was a fairly young Titan.

“I’ve seen it several times, and even now, the memory is vivid. It truly was a grand scene!”

“…” Muria remained silent, at a loss for how to respond; he really couldn’t connect to this topic.

“If the Mother of All Things, in a hopeless situation, chooses to ‘throw caution to the wind,’ the complete destruction of the world beneath your feet is not impossible.

When that happens, given your current level of integration with the world, you might fall directly, and even I would not be able to salvage it. So, what do you want to do?”

“You mean for me to tolerate the presence of the Mother of All Things, to maintain the current situation?”

“Thinking from your perspective, it’s the safest approach; you certainly don’t want to see the worst scenario happen.”

“…Indeed.” Muria took a deep breath, “But as the Dragon King, I don’t like to share what I possess. What is mine is mine, and no one else can take it away.”

“Exactly, I feel the same way. So I asked how much loss you can tolerate. Ideally, you would cooperate with me and the Ancient Prison to eradicate all the bodies of the Mother of All Things and then use them to replenish the world.

In that case, not only would you not suffer any loss, but you would also reap a considerable reward. This damaged major world might even be restored to its former glory.”

“And what’s the worst case? Could it really be destroyed?” Muria braced for the worst.

“That would be the worst-case scenario. If such a thing happens, it means that both I and the Ancient Prison have fallen. So, how likely do you think that is?”

“None.” Muria answered decisively.

“It seems you have quite some confidence in me and the Ancient Prison.”

“Of course.” Muria silently said to himself. Then, he thought of a very crucial question,
“Your Excellency, if the best scenario occurs, the Mother of All Things falls, and you use her remains to replenish the world, then wouldn’t you and the Ancient Prison have no gain?”

“Since you brought it up, let me clarify. I was planning to tell you after everything was settled. Filling the world with the remains of the Mother of All Things is not without conditions.

We plan to open a semi-permanent Void Gate connected to Elasia, sending some Underage Titans here periodically for training, and you will be responsible for building a place that can hone a Titan. I’ve heard you have some experience in this area.”

“If it’s just this, please rest assured and leave it to me.” Muria understood.
