Chapter 3: Chapter 3 : The Soul Tree
As Eli gazed upon the massive soul tree before him, he couldn't help but feel awed by its sheer size and power. Its trunk was thicker than any tree he had ever seen, and its branches stretched out across the entire world, their purple threads woven through every corner of existence.
The purple threads that wove themselves across the tree were unlike anything Eli had ever seen before. They shimmered in the dim light of the cave, pulsing with a life of their own. It was as if they were a part of the very fabric of the universe, connecting everything together in a way that was both beautiful and awe-inspiring.
As he looked up, Eli saw that the branches of the tree reached out in every direction, stretching far beyond the boundaries of the cave and into the wider world. Each branch was adorned with thousands of leaves, shimmering in the dim light of the cave like jewels.
And yet, as impressive as the tree was, it was the roots that truly took Eli's breath away. They spread out in every direction, weaving themselves into the very fabric of the world around them. Each root was thick and powerful, pulsing with a raw energy that seemed to emanate from the very depths of the earth they were snaking out across the floor of the cave and burrowing deep into the earth.
But even as he marveled at the size and power of the tree, Eli could sense that there was something more to it than just its physical presence. It was as if the tree had a consciousness of its own, a deep understanding of the world and its place in it.
And then, as Eli approached the roots of the tree, he could feel a surge of energy coursing through his body. It was as if the tree were recognizing him, acknowledging his presence and his right to access its power.
It was like looking at himself from the exterior, the reflection was unmatching, but the aura and the presence could not be fabricated. He was Eli, and he was also the tree. "It been so long since I stepped back in here. Back then when I severed from you, I seal you in this cave as a contingency allowing you to grow and bloom more powerful than ever."
And then, as if in response to his thoughts, the roots of the tree began to stir. "Now that I have recovered my body Its time for you to come home" The branches writhed and twisted like living things, reaching out to him with a sense of urgency that he couldn't ignore.
Without hesitation, Eli stepped forward and placed his hand on the bark of the tree. At first, he felt a jolt of electricity shoot up his arm, but then something incredible happened. The tree seemed to recognize him, and he could feel its power flowing into him like a river.
The sensation was overwhelming, and Eli stumbled backwards, gasping for breath. But even as he struggled to regain his composure, he gritted his teeth for the changes that were about to occur.
He felt a surge of power unlike anything he had ever experienced before. The roots of the tree wrapped themselves tightly around his body, weaving themselves into his very being.
He could feel the memories and experiences of his ancestors flooding into his mind, filling him with a sense of deep connection to all those who had come before him. He felt their pain and their triumphs, their sorrows, and their joys, all flowing into him as if they were part of his own being. He remember his billions years of existence, every sovereign every heroes, every devil every fights and conquer every book and all the knowledge gathered spamming through eons.
He had already felt its power coursing through his body, but now he had to become one with it to truly harness its potential.
Suddenly, the markings on the walls of the cave began to glow and dance, the symbols etching themselves onto his skin and becoming a part of him.
Eli's body began to shake and convulse as the fusion process began. His eyes glowed with a purple and gold light, matching the colors of the soul tree's threads. He felt an intense surge of energy rip through his body, transforming him at a fundamental level.
His DNA began to shift and change, his body becoming more like the tree with each passing moment. His skin grew rough and bark-like, and his hair began to grow infinitely, like the branches of the tree spreading out into the world.
As the fusion process continued, the energy around Eli began to intensify. The cave filled with a bright purple and gold light, and the ground shook beneath his feet. He could feel the power of the soul tree merging with his own, the two becoming one.
And then, as suddenly as it had begun, the fusion process ended. Eli stood before the soul tree, transformed at a fundamental level. He looked down at his body, now covered in intricate tattoos that glowed with a purple and gold light.
His skin was now tough and bark-like, with deep grooves and ridges that gave him a rugged, almost otherworldly appearance. His hair, which had grown infinitely like the branches of the tree, was now long and flowing, shimmering in the light with a purple and gold hue.
His eyes, which had once been shallow, were now a mesmerizing mix of purple and gold, mirroring the colors of the soul tree's threads. And all over his body were intricate tattoos, etched into his skin during the fusion process, which glowed with a bright purple and gold light.
He could see the world around him with a newfound clarity. He could sense the energy flowing through everything around him, giving him a deep understanding of the world and its many mysteries.
And as he stood there, feeling the weight of his new power Eli closed his eyes, a vision came to him. He saw himself reaching a place that he had been searching for, for thousands of years. His soul threads had finally managed to touch the reality of an unknown realm, and the feeling of euphoria was indescribable. He knew that this place held the answers he had been looking for.
In that moment of excitement, he let escape a strand of his presence, and it was immediately noticed by the consciousness of the realm. The tiny instant was followed by a loud thunderclap that resonated in all of existence. Eli had to use a lot of safety measures to escape from the hit of the powerful attack.
In record time, Eli saw one of the most powerful beings being erased from existence. He felt the heavenly sigh followed by the descent of a gigantic seal that slammed him into oblivion. Thousands of years passed, generations of gods and sovereigns were raised, empires rose and fell, and the legend of the owner disappeared with time. The crystal purple strings that ruled the worlds of eon for millions of years simply vanished in the annals of time.
Eli knew that he had been stabbed in the back. He had a list of entities that could accomplish such a feat. He was not bitter nor was he angry. He had done such things in the past, and he knew that this was an opportunity his enemies would not miss. He always had a failsafe plan, but recovering his human body was not one of them. The mystery concerning this situation was still unknown to him, but he knew that whoever it was and whatever their plan was, all of it would be revealed as time went on.
And even as he looked upon the bodies of his fallen clan members beneath the roots of the tree, Eli knew that this was the circle of life. He made a small burial ceremony and walked out of the cave. As he was reaching the surface his infinite hair and markings on skin shrunk till, they completely disappeared. He was back to his usual appearance.
