The World Tree Calls - Part 2: Down To The Root Of All

From the highest crown of the World Tree, the sacred spirit looked down toward the depths below. Though it possessed boundless power and supreme wisdom, even it could not see the roots, for the World Tree stretched almost endlessly through countless layers of the universe. Only a faint mist could be seen far beneath the fading branches.

Taking a deep breath, the spirit made its decision. To save the World Tree, it had to descend toward the root realm and discover what had gone wrong at the source. And so, it began its long journey downward.

From the treetop to the roots, time and space seemed endless. The spirit crossed countless ages and countless realms, moving step by step through the dying body of the World Tree. Everywhere it went, it saw withered branches, falling leaves, and great worlds on the verge of collapse. Along the way, it also met many lives, formed friendships, and carried its small but unwavering light through the fading darkness.

After endless years, after passing through vast layers of time and space, the spirit finally reached the roots of the World Tree.

There, the true cause of the great catastrophe was waiting.
