It wasn't that he didn't know it was powerful, but just that he believed that if it was so strong, then how did the elves and dwarves fall? It didn't make much sense. Ñøv€l--ß1n hosted the premiere release of this chapter.

"Ah... You've forgotten even this... It seems the situation is much worse than we thought..." The elder's sigh deepened.

"This is a secret only our two races know, but the World Tree isn't from our plane of existence."

"You mean it's from the Immortal Plane?" Dyon asked.

"No. I mean it isn't from our fabric of reality at all."

For the first time in a long time, Dyon's heart trembled.

Not from our fabric of reality? What exactly did this mean?

[Author's Note: No, it really isn't what you're all thinking, lmao. RMW is ending in 3-4 more volumes. Saying this now to save me from the onslaught of 'how could you?!?!?!' comments. Maybe I'll explore that world a few years later].

What about the Heavens? Why was it so obsessed with evolution to the point where it pitted its people against each other with the Ancient Battlefield?

These were all questions Dyon didn't have an answer to, so he could only ignore them and ask this instead.

Why was it that the Elven Queen only appeared amidst the elves? Why was there such an imbalance of power?

"This is just a misconception." The dwarven elder responded. "The Elven title wasn't originally a race. The elves took the name on because it suited them well, but an elf doesn't have to inherit the title.

"Well, even I may be wrong. Maybe Elven really was a race of people beneath the World Tree, I can't be entirely certain of the details. All I do know is that the title itself came from the World Tree. The elves happened to birth the first Queen, so they took the title for themselves. There were many dwarven women who also gained this constitution."

Dyon's gaze flashed with enlightenment, so that was the case. He had been half worried that there would be some hidden Dwarven King constitution that disappeared after the dwarves entered the Ancient Battlefield. He wouldn't like to fall out with the dwarves because they sought after his wife, that would be a massive deal breaker.

"As for whether or not an Elven Queen could repair what we once lost, I can't be sure..."

Only Dyon knew that the elves of the past were nothing like they were now. Many of them didn't even have tamed beasts of their own. It was only recently that Ri began to help them go back to their roots with the help of the World Tree. They definitely wouldn't care as much as they had in the past about the actions of the dwarves. At least... in the short term.

If the dwarves and elves came back together as one, it would only be a matter of time before those same problems began to creep up once more. It was only a matter of time before they inevitable came to blows once more.

It was only now that Dyon understood asking the World Tree about the fallout of the dwarves was useless. Since they only collapsed long after an Elven Queen hadn't appeared in several generations, the World Tree had no way of knowing the truth.

"How did you contact the World Tree in the first place?" Dyon asked curiously, wondering how.
