The Origin of Arcane

Although the spatial rift connected to Thor's plane hell was blocked, its indirect impact on the Arshan continent only unfolded one after another in the next few years.

For the entire Arshan continent, the next five years will be catastrophic years.

Or die of drought, the annual rainfall is pitifully low, the two major rivers, the Jacob River and the Donau River, have almost dried up and stopped flowing, and there are no crops in many places.

Either it will be flooded, and there will be a lot of rain throughout the year. The Jacob River and the Donau River will all flood, and all the food crops will be smashed into the ground by the rain.

And these natural disasters usually have associated disasters, such as locust plagues after a severe drought.

After the flood, it is often prone to plagues and so on.

Although the leader of the Yongye army made a series of layouts a long time ago, Sean even thought about borrowing the energy of Abigail's plane to nourish the crops in his own territory and survive this crisis.

But in the face of comprehensive natural disasters, it still seems too weak.

In drought years, without sufficient water for irrigation, even with sufficient energy, it is impossible for plants to grow into shape, let alone harvest food.

In flood years, no matter how well your crops grow, an untimely heavy rain can wipe out all the hard work of the villagers for several months.

In particular, the Dunao Plain, the food production area that Yong Ye's army leader relied on most, showed its poor ability to resist disasters.

Compared with the Jacob River with a total length of more than 5,000 kilometers, the Donau River, which is only more than 1,500 kilometers long, is two-thirds shorter, with fewer incoming branches and more outgoing branches, nearly 100%. Thirty of the water flow comes from the Andes crater, which also causes its water potential to fluctuate very much.

In drought years, it withers half a month earlier than the Jacob River.

In flood years, it is more violent than the Jacob River and is more likely to flood.

These five years are called the five years of catastrophe or five years of natural disasters and five years of difficult times by later generations.

In the past five years, the various forces have no energy to develop outward at all. In the face of the disaster, the internal problems exposed have caused them a lot of trouble, including the leader of Yongye.

During the five-year disaster period, the biggest problem exposed by the Yong Ye army leader was the racial problem that Xiao En and the others were committed to dividing and eliminating.

The racial issues of the Yong Ye army leader before were not acute, and had a lot to do with their thriving development trend.

Merging into the Yongye Army Commander has had a great impact on their way of life, but most of this change is benign, making their life more stable and richer, even if there are occasional unsatisfactory things in life , and won't take it too seriously.

But when life becomes difficult, some problems that did not seem to be problems begin to be exposed.

For example, the quantitative control of food that was implemented in the first year of the fifth year of the Yongye Army's catastrophe.

If the distribution is based on the head, it is obviously unfair to the Kentana barbarians. If the distribution is based on the amount of ordinary people, they will starve to death, and there are still many differences in their race. After all, there is a 20cm difference in average height between the three major races of sea hunters, nomads, and mountains.

If the distribution is based on height and body weight, the workload is too huge, and the places where people can cheat will increase dramatically. Even the leader of the Yongye army will find it difficult to achieve actual statistical distribution.

The easiest way is to ration according to race, but in this way, it will attract dissatisfaction from other races.

After all, when the overall food is limited, if someone gets an extra portion, they will lose one portion.

Not to mention, there are still differences between individuals. Some ordinary people have the stature of Kentana barbarians. It was a rare thing in the past, but it is not news now.

Under the stimulation of spell energy, although some people did not have the ability to awaken and cast spells, their bodies developed twice or even thrice.

Although the Yongye military leader formulated a series of supplementary regulations to adjust according to the actual situation during the specific implementation process, taking care of all aspects as much as possible.

However, the size of the leader of the Yong Ye army is too large now. It is impossible for this kind of policy that involves the whole people to be perfect. If it can satisfy most people, it is quite good.

When many problems are discovered and corrected, the hateful race has already bought them.

And as the disaster continued, it kept fermenting, and in the hearts of many people, cracks invisible to the naked eye were buried.

Five years after the catastrophe, it has indeed dealt a heavy blow to the rapidly developing Yong Ye army leader, forcing them to temporarily stop development in many aspects and spend more energy on the livelihood of their own people.

If one takes a longer view, one finds that the past five years have also been beneficial to the Yong Ye army leader.

The disaster drove many people who were unwilling to leave their comfortable and stable life out of their homes.

The flow of people led by the Yong Ye army mainly diverted in three directions.

One is naturally the newly occupied Huayu Plateau. Although it has also been affected by some natural disasters, the relatively unique geographical environment makes this disaster much lighter than other military leaders.

Although prior to this, under the conscious organization of the Yong Ye Army leader, there has been a wave of development, but the speed is still relatively slow. After all, there are still a small number of people who are highly enlightened and willing to take risks.

Five years after the catastrophe, this speed has been greatly accelerated.

Not only did it solve the problem of food and clothing for the leaders of the Eternal Night Army who came here to develop, but the excess food also greatly supported the territory.

In the fourth and fifth years of the five-year catastrophe, 70% of the food distributed by the Yongye army came from here.

Another diversion direction is to join the ranks of Kaihai.

Although Yongye Junling has been committed to the development of the East China Sea for more than ten years, for many people, the navigation industry is still a new industry.

Sailor seafarers have been in short supply.

In the normal state, if you want to reverse the old thinking, it will take the efforts of several generations.

The calamity year has greatly accelerated this state, and I can't even eat, so where is there so much room for consideration?

Compared with the sea trade, the fastest growing one belongs to offshore fishing, which has the lowest limit. As long as you have a sampan, you can go fishing and subsidize your family.

The last direction is the East Odin Grassland, which is gradually beginning to be purified.

The people diverted here are mainly Kentana savages, who are suitable for development in the direction of safari both physically and culturally.

Although the Odin Prairie has also been affected by disasters, the area here is vast enough. The biggest characteristic of nomads is that they live by water. Wherever the pasture grows fat, they will go there.

However, in the hands of the Yong Ye army leader, the nomadic life has also played a new trick, called planned nomadism.

Although these nomadic tribes are still chasing aquatic plants, they no longer rely on past nomadic experience, but rely on the macro-control of the Yongye army leader, which tribe will rush to which designated area for grazing and farming at which time period.

It sounds like this is an impossible task, but Army Leader Yong Ye did it without any difficulty.

What they rely on is the huge root network of the Arshan World Tree that has been successively deployed underground in the East Odin Grassland.

Just as Goddess Abigail promised, the surface part of the Arshan World Tree stopped growing voluntarily after it grew to a certain extent.

Because if it grows any longer, it will become the biggest destroyer of the Arshan plane, affecting the operation of the entire planet.

But at every moment, there is a huge flow of energy pouring in from the plane of Abigail, trying to integrate into the plane of Arshan in the gentlest way.

The easiest way is to transform it into a part of the Arshan World Tree first, and then return it to nature in the way of plants withering and flourishing.

It just so happened that the Yong Ye army leader needed to purify the East Odin prairie, so this place naturally became the spreading direction of the tree root network.

In fact, Sean is very clear that the roots of the Arshan World Tree are constantly spreading and growing, and there is another deep meaning - it is closely related to the core law of Goddess Abigail's control of the Arshan plane.

I believe that covering the East Odin prairie with the roots of the Arshan World Tree is just the beginning.

As long as she is given time, this tree root network will definitely cover the entire Arshan continent, and even the entire surface of the planet.

The recent frequent crustal fluctuations in the Arshan Continent are inseparable from this matter.

But this volatility, in the long run, is beneficial rather than harmful.

After all, the Arshan World Tree only knows about blindly growing dead things. On the contrary, it will fully combine the local geological conditions, not only avoiding those important mountains, but even actively repairing and strengthening the local terrain.

With the existence of this huge network, it is basically impossible for some small changes in the leylines in the future. Even if it is inevitable, Sean and the others will know it as soon as possible.

The Arshan World Tree will not compete with the local plants for nutrients.

First, the depth of rooting of the two is not the same.

Unless it is necessary, the roots of the Arshan World Tree will not easily go to the surface, and will not form an intersection with ordinary trees at all.

The second is that the Arshan World Tree cannot be measured by the concept of plants. What it needs is not just simple water and minerals, but things that ordinary plants cannot touch.

The third is that the material energy that generates the Abigail World Tree is mainly provided by the Abigail plane.

That is equivalent to the energy transmission pipes, even if only a small part of the energy overflows from it, it is enough for the surrounding plants to benefit from.

The place where the root network of the Arshan World Tree is dense is often the place where the shadow energy is purified the cleanest and the aquatic plants are the most fertile.

Sean is happy with this matter.

To win Sean over, Goddess Abigail gave him control of the very tall Arshan World Tree, just below her.

To be more precise, the Arshan World Tree is now controlled by Xiao En, and the general direction of the growth of the tree root network is controlled by him alone.

Goddess Abigail is currently focusing on transferring the souls of intelligent beings from the plane of Abigail and comprehending and controlling the core laws of the plane of Arshan, and has no energy to manage the world tree of Arshan at all.

After all, the energy of the goddess is also limited, and she can only prioritize things that others cannot do for her.

Since gaining the control of the Arshan World Tree, many things of the Eternal Night Army's magic level have begun to shift.

First of all, the core consciousness network of the second world is gradually being transferred to the Arshan world tree.

Under normal circumstances, the Arshan World Tree would give rise to self-awareness. After all, this is a transcendent existence. During the seed period, Sean felt the spirituality contained in it.

However, the intervention of Goddess Abigail directly led him to a fork in the road. The self-awareness that was in the process of being concentrated was absorbed by Goddess Abigail, and it completely became the clone of Goddess Abigail in the plane of Arshan. .

Although the self-awareness of the Arshan World Tree has not been born, such a terrifying life form still has self-awareness.

More precisely, the part where Goddess Abigail stayed on the Arshan plane.

And this part of the right to control was opened to Sean by her.

Naturally, Xiao En would not be polite, and directly used it as the basic software and hardware of the consciousness space, and the Arshan World Tree integrated the characteristics of some laws of the Arshan Plane.

The second world built on it is more worthy of the name, with all the senses of pain and taste, and all the laws of the real world can be perfectly reproduced here, but Sean did not do this.

The reason is, of course, a rehash.

One is consumption.

The closer the second world is to the real world, the greater the consumption in all aspects, whether it is the power of law consumed, the software and hardware occupied during construction, or the energy consumed during operation.

After all, everything in the second world is based on energy, and the stimulation of soul consciousness is also simulated through energy.

Although they now have the Arshan World Tree and the collapsing Abigail plane as their source of energy, they don't have to worry about running out of energy at all, ranging from decades to hundreds of years.

But Xiao En is still based on the principle of saving, and there will be more places to use energy in the future, among which the tree root network is the biggest head.

Seriously, the growth rate of the root network of the Arshan World Tree is quite astonishing. If all the sections are connected, the daily growth rate is measured in kilometers.

But Sean still feels dissatisfied.

There is no way, the psychological pressure brought to him by the succubus queen Meicanxiet is too great, and no one knows when and in what way the other party will pop out again. Before that, the only way Sean could What you do is to do your best to develop yourself and make yourself and your territory stronger.

The normal development path is too slow, and there is no way to deal with the full-scale invasion of hell demons. You can only use your brains on this unconventional development path.

In addition to the natural growth formed by the energy absorbed from the plane of Abigail, the metal minerals that can be used during the growth of the Arshan World Tree, and the huge root system of the ancient tree, all can be used. .

Under such circumstances, how could Sean allow a lot of energy to do meaningless things?
