Chapter 1090 Crescendo



The same time the Lich Kings attacked the sprout, the army of undead attacked the Lich Kings, completely out of their control. These creatures were deemed to be the most powerful in their realm and held that position mainly because of their armies.

But at the moment, their own army of faithful undeads was attacking them. Chaos and commotion erupted as the battlefield became a big mess.

On this side, the other beast guardians slowly started slipping out and started attacking each other as if they had become completely rabid.

In the midst of this pandemonium, Liam held strong and stood his ground. Not letting a single attack land on the small sprout, he erected barrier after barrier of thick nether protecting the world seed and its sprout with everything he had.

Perhaps because of the connection he had with the world seed, Liam somehow knew that the words of the whale guardian beast were true. 

He only needed some more time for the sprout to stabilize and once that happened, all of this was going to end.

He gritted his teeth and held on. He could feel it. The sprout was getting stronger and stronger and the pulse beating inside it was also resonating with a significant power.

With every second that passed by, a new root emerged, from which the life force of the small sprout and the life force of the entire planet itself was becoming one.

Liam could vaguely feel the resonation and it was like a blast in his mind. He could feel infinite power, an endless void, several things that he could not bring himself to comprehend. 

Sensing that the world seed was going to successfully mature, the nether beings around him became even more enraged, and countless attacks poured on the small sprout from all directions.

The temporary control Liam held over the undead army had also dissipated and the lich kings and their army was once again back to targeting Liam and the world seed. A few of the guardian beasts also did the same.

At this point, Liam didn't even bother fighting back these enemies individually. Using the mana and the nether that was swirling around him, he erected barrier after barrier. 

The world tree sprout was aiding him, pumping him up with mana. Nether was everywhere. So he lacked neither and continued blocking all the attacks coming his way in a mad rage.

Liam was truly standing on thin ice. Nevertheless, he was still standing. A few more seconds was all he needed.

But, at this crucial time, suddenly a familiar voice sounded and Liam froze. "Lad, do you think it's so easy to take good things away from me? Twice?" 

Standing in front of Liam, amidst the vapors of nether was Crawford, the PVP tower master. Liam's face fell as he had no idea how this crazy old guy had escaped from the game world.

And what the hell was he doing in this world? The man might look weak and feeble but Liam knew that things were not that simple.

Before his brain could register what was going on, the old man raised his hand and the next second a blast of power assaulted him.

CRACK!

That was the final straw that was needed to break everything. Panic and dread filled Liam as he gave a last-ditch effort with everything he had to block the attack. He channeled mana and nether furiously, but…

Mayhem ensued.

Everything became pitch-black.

Nether was everywhere.

For a moment, every single living being present on the earth held their breath as death and decay knocked on their doorstep.

But in the midst of this darkness, a small lightness sprouted. The world seed sprouted successfully.

Rings of mana, divinity, light, holiness, life, and nature rippled from the small sprout battling the nether that was everywhere.

One linked with another and the two energies combusted consuming each other. Everything sparked. The very air was charged with energy.

People who were below level 5 couldn't handle it any longer. The air caused them to turn mad and they became frenzied zombies.

People who were below level 10 then followed suit. Screams and cries echoed everywhere as one by one all the human beings started falling.

However, the torture soon stopped. People who were level 20 and above were finally able to somehow survive. The air around them also cleared up a little.I think you should take a look at

"What the hell is happening?" Alex shouted watching several people around her burn and wither away. "Liam!" She shivered as she felt the familiar sting of nether. She could see that something big was happening. Was Liam okay?

Shen Yue and Mei Mei abruptly turned to look at her, taking in the gravity of her words. Rey, Lan Fen, Lan Deming, Abraki, Madan, everyone had grave looks on their faces.

One second they were battling the undead and grinding experience points furiously and the next second everything changed.

Only the oracle seemed indifferent. "One reaps what one sows." He mumbled to himself, not revealing anything to anyone and letting nature take its course.

Meanwhile, back at the scene of the crime, a small barrier formed around the world tree sprout. This barrier had a special shade, a color that was both blue and black.

No one could near the small sprout any longer and no attack could touch it. 

The sprout was stable. The world tree had been successfully initiated.

And from this small thing, a pillar of energy shot upward as the same kind of barrier emerged around the entire world, completely sealing it and everything with it.

At this moment, every single human being who was still alive in the world heard something in their ears, the resounding chime of a system notification.

<Congratulations, Earthlings!> 

<Your world is now initiated to join the myriad realms network>

<The complete integration will occur in a decade when your world tree fully matures>

A wave of dead silence enveloped the entire world. All the human beings who were terrorized up until now by the sudden unexpected events froze and stared at the notification.

In the midst of this confusion, one person alone chuckled as he limped forward and bent down. "So this is the new world's world tree?" Crawford's face twisted into an ugly grin.

His beady eyes then looked around as if he was searching for something else. 

There were charred remains of huge monstrous beasts. There were heaps and heaps of bones and decayed flesh that was rotting. 

The red or rather the black pillars of light were no longer there. The nether array was nowhere to be seen. 

There was mana everywhere but there was also nether everywhere. Small explosions occurred in the air when the swirls of the two energies clashed. 

Everything was as he predicted. However… 

"Tch. Where is that little bastard's corpse? I wanted to make him my puppet and enslave him for all eternity. This is disappointing." Crawford spat out. 

"The spatial treasure is also missing. Where did it go? Did one of those undead bastards disappear with it? I need to talk to the priestess about this."

"Rotten bastard. Even in his death, he had caused me loss! Hmph!"

The old man cursed and spat a few more times to his heart's content before retrieving a small golden token from his robe. He then held the token close to his mouth and mumbled.

"That bastard is dead, priestess. I personally confirmed it."
