So, it's time to choose, my dear patreons. Each of the three paths takes the story through different skill trees, though the very end is most probably the same. Most probably. 

So choose!

Tree of life makes domain holders more valuable and is also consistent with aeons nature and tree theme. They key point is that once they are able to defeat the demon king unassisted then any extra combat power becomes a moot point unless they are able to effectively move to other worlds. Which I believe tree of life also helps with via the clones and teleportation.

Also I tend to hate "you can do all the magics" builds. So if I can't have tree of life, I'd prefer will of the world.

Blah64

Will of the World would allow moving the world within the void sea!

Will Iam

While will of the world may allow him to control a world and even protect it he may be forever stuck there unless something allows him to extendo to other worlds, crown of magic is the least of the 3, if he gets immortality he can simply wait for a long time until he has enough magic casters and do that, the best and clearest way of expansion is the tree of life but that is the harshest in the supporters as they will see everyone they know die eventually. Still tree of life is way more useful in the medium and long time frame

Daniel Bessette

If Aeon's goal is to protect this world, Will of the World is the best choice. He can straight up move this world in the void sea where it's safe, presumably, and lock this world off from things. If his goal is to end the interdimensional war, I feel like Tree of Life is the best choice, as it's the only one that guarantees his ability to adapt to a demon environment. Magic, however, does leave things more open for the writer to do basically anything that he wants, but it feels like it goes a bit too far away from the intent of the story and characters, to be honest. Aeon casting spells and using star mana doesn't feel right. It leaves him potentially vulnerable to the other gods instead of fighting against their ways, and makes him more of a human in terms of his abilities, and less of a soul tree. I'd rather rely on the humans for magic, and Aeon do what Aeon does best. My vote is for Tree of Life, just because it continues the idea of investigating the demon worlds. It can potentially still do everything to the world the Will of the World does, aside from moving the planet in the Void sea. Also, I think the story potential of dealing with clones of yourself is kind of hilarious and opens all kinds of fun possibilities.

Andrew Meyers

Only one of them has the word "Tree" in it. So, I say Tree of Life. The others feel like he's either grasping for what isn't his path (magic) or what he doesn't really want (to become the world). He is at his core, a tree.

Fishywars

Tree of life is the one that allows for a multi planet empire so it makes the most sense. Also lvl 150 gave domain and lvl 200 subdomain, so another at lvl 250?

I'm leaning toward Crown of Magic. Would be cool to see a tree becoming universally adept at all kinds of magic.

Robert Mullins
>>70548543

Not for me, I almost always drop stories with "can do all magics" as a class or ability. It just gets annoying when the character has no limits on what they're abilities can do.

Adam

It sounds like Tree of Life, could be a precursor for becoming the World Tree. Which could give similar bonuses as Will of the World

HumbleBee

I think Aeon should become the god of life and Lilies should become the god of death

Seanfrks

Plus, it would allow Aeon to terraform the moon (potentially) which would be another reason for him to make a base up there!

#BI-7623

Guys look at the author's words. "The very end is most probably the same." Its an illusion of choice! Just like Stella said. Thats being said, I'm going with the will of the world. It sounds cool and it'll make Aeon the legendary World Tree. Tho the "Yggdrail" tree of life isnt bad.

RottenTangerine

Tree of Life would be dope. IMO, you can't really have a pantree-on without godlings that can't really die. Plus, this would let him terraform the moon which would just be amusing. Picturing people on other continents wondering why the moon is green now would be great....

Jeremy Humphrey

The ability to plant seeds al over this world and then others is just too good to pass up even if he can move the world to attack demon worlds by flying through the astral.

Bon Bon

Tree of life is boring. It's still possible to get rid off immortal characters, at least fuck them up greatly but worst thing is that it lowers the stakes. Unless author is willing to go and explore road of characters going insane, becoming deprave and of course betrayals

Eduardo Melin

The first path to any god pantheon is inmortality so that all the leveling and growth of his supporters doesn't goes to waste if any mistake is made. So I think Tree of life is the best way to go.

thelostmasterwizard

even if you are functionally immortal they still cant really deal any damage... This will slow leveling speed to, cant level in peace time because your waiting for the respawn.

Kalahatze

Keep in mind everyone that this is a story, and purely for entertainment! Don't treat this like an RPG. Choose what you'd like to see, not the most powerful one. I don't like Tree of Life because it's boring, but that's my opinion. Just don't choose one you don't like because you think it is strong! Oh, and to clarify, I don't mean analyzing strength is bad. If you like them all then go ahead! It can be fun. Just don't get too wrapped up in it and pick an option you don't like.

Montizuma59

It’s really between Tree of Life and Will of the World. Crown of Magic is great, but other people can get those sub-domains in the future. However, there isn’t anyone under Aeon that can get ToL or WotW. As for which of the two… Both of them are the same yet different. Both of them allow Aeon to be virtually immortal, but one also grants immortality to his people. On the other hand, WotW will give Aeon Hero-tier strength and will allow his followers to become Elementals which will (Hypothetically) boost them to hero-tier as well. Other than that, the only difference between the two is ToL is offensive while WotW is defensive. In the end, though, I don’t think it matters what is chosen as I highly suspect that Aeon will be given the choice to get another Sub-Domain when he gets to 250, as it wouldn’t make sense to get a Sub-Sub-domain. For now, I feel it would be best to get ToL, as component people are hard to find and making them immortal is a sure-fire way to not lose them like how Aeon lost Jura.

Akhier Dragonheart

If I was given this choice I would choose life because the seed thing gives the most personal survivability. So far we haven't seen god tier v god tier fights but having a backup body can't hurt. Especially if the seed doesn't have to germinate right away. Having a random seed on an out of the way planet's moon that you activate when things go bad would be an excellent safety measure.

Khanalas

Clone armies are cancer, so Tree of Life is an instant pass. Will of the World has great potential. It gives an ability to fully utilize the power the world can give. It also seems to shackle Aeon to this world, which goes against my vision of a multi-world forest, but higher levels should unlock ability to devour worlds to enhance the first one, or, preferably, to merge with every world Aeon converts to a sufficient extent. Crown of Magic is great too, it'd give several extra forge colours right away and should too allow enhanced utilization of the world's resources and a multi-world forest.

Ethan Flohr

Tree Of Life seems like the best way to basically become many young Yggdrasils. He can link the worlds together and reclaim the demon worlds pretty easily it seems with those, then when Stella gets her domain she can boost the range of her void portals

Ethan Flohr
>>70550758

You don't think watching as Aeon spreads across worlds and reclaims demonic ones is fun? Honestly I kinda think just sitting on one planet is kinda boring, he's basically already the overlord, if all temples declare war on him he could wipe them all out easily.

Ethan Flohr
>>70549074

The other continents would be quickly taken by TreeTree. Also, he could create more land or water on planets too, so those demonic planets could very well be turned into paradises

Ethan Flohr
>>70548935

Yggdrasil also connected different worlds together, with Will Of The World he won't do that as fast.

Ethan Flohr

Guys, he'll probably get something similar to the others at level 250, but be more powerful, so wouldn't going offensive right now be smart so he can level faster?

Ethan Flohr
>>70548373

He wouldn't have to adapt to the demonic landscape with Tree Of Life cause he can just terraform it into being a utopia

kyle cyrus

I'd go with will of the world. Tree of life might be better for demon kings but it ain't too helpful against heroes as they'd have the time to hunt them down while all the pantheon is on cooldown. Will of the world will immediately give them the power to hold against the heroes. That said, I'm sure whatever choice is made the author will keep it interesting

Constantin

I think the tree of life way is the most interesting one. Other worlds,...,. but ultimately it is the authors choice .

Kagaros

I'd rather Aeon gamble on the third choice. It's got the most versatility since he can use several different types of mana, even those normally incompatible with one another like Star + Void mana. Given how persistent and adaptive the demons are, it's not doubtful that they'll have the capability to counter Tree of Life and Will of the World honestly seems too good for what Aeon wants that it probably comes with the negative of rooting him with a single world.

MadGod

Intreegalactic Empire! 'nuff said

The Brandonator

All sound epic, so I’m choosing all three

EnderScroll

Already read some novels where the protagonist becomes a world’s will so got to pass on that one. Now seeing a protagonist become Yggdrasil sounds pretty fun.

Jericho Rising

Well I'm a little dissapointed with everyone voting for Tree of life, honestly feels like at that point this is just going to become a hive mind novel with all the artificial minds he's gonna need. Clone armies are generally never the optimal choice. Will of the world however is giving me seriously entertaining vibes, and it doesn't just limit him to one planet If you think about it, eventually with his no restriction roots Aeon may be able to connect planets through space and permanently stable portals. Crown of magic while slightly boring in concept has a lot of potential for storytelling and would likely give us a load of side character chapters.

John Cena

Tree of life seems to be all about doubling down on what our MC already is, a tree, nature, everlasting, immortal and omnipresent. His end goal would seem to be more or less to become the forrest, and spread the Forrest on every world. Will of the world is much more godlike. Enhancing his godlike aspect. He becomes the wielder of this worlds wills and resources, it protector, owner and will. Potentially the most restrictive choice if he cannot do the same for additional worlds down the line, however, if he can do so for multiple worlds, it might just be the strongest. Crown of magic is a huge unknown, if magic can basically do anything, then this choice has by far the most potential, but is also the slowest to blossom. In addition, this choice will enhance his position as a leader, gifter, guide, benefactor and of course, his magical aspects. He will be able to greatly benefit from subjects and they from him much more than the other choices. The only problem, the full potential may come too late, at too great of a cost and may potentially not even be as high as we think as we do not know the limits of magic. The real question seem to be very simple, should our MC wield the power of: Nature unyielding and everchanging Godhood ever-present ever able to reach Magic unbound unrestricted It does not surprise me most patreons choose nature, though I have personally voted for magic. I find all options more or less equally facinating so it is hard for me to choose.

EnderScroll
>>70561017

Well like the author said all three choices will probably end with a similar result. Hive mind aside, to me tree of life sounds like Aeon establishing himself as the head of a small pantheon. As for the creating life thing I sounds more like an upgrade to his already existing insect warriors ability that has taken a backseat for a while now. I like will of the world but it does seems to push the MC down the path of a defensive hermit. And what exactly does becoming the “will of the world” mean in the grand scheme of thing anyway? Depending on your interpretation Aeon will of the world could just be another hive mind where Aeon would become the overarching will of the world and all of its inhabitants. At least this has been the case with every other will of the world in stories I have read.

Astyn

As far as I'm concerned, they do all come together in the end, and I sincerely doubt Author will expedite Aeon's growth with any of them. Each route I think implies that Aeon will need to find solutions for aspects of the other two itself (via research / exploration / outsourcing), while executing a strategy based on the route chosen. ToL is the most [static] in-character option, being the most transparent and reliable route available. To me this is the least mechanically interesting and promises a relatively uninteresting growth narrative, albeit with great potential for interesting encounters (with other worlds, discoveries, and deeper dives into magic systems) should Author feel inclined to adequately describe them. [It would also make Horns very happy tbf.] WotW would indicate a mild shift in Aeon's outlook from the metaphorical "trees to the forest," which to me matches the pace set in recent chapters. Middling in terms of risk, this route is semitransparent ; it solves some issues that've been bugging Aeon outright and promises unknown complications in equal measure. [Sentient Spaceship] CoM indicates to me a stroke of humanity and individualism (which would arguably be a regression of Aeon's character), a more direct and aggressive style. The actual risk level won't be clear until Author has further detailed the depths of the Universe's magic systems, but it promises quite a lot in terms of raw power wielded both by Aeon and by its followers. This route could be the most mechanically interesting of the three, but it's hard for me to guess how interesting the narrative would be given that I assume the solutions to the remaining aspects will involve some form of mana/magic. [Big Stick Energy] I favour the WotW, followed by ToL then CoM. Thanks for reading if you did. uwu –A💖

Tree of life just sound the best and is the most fitting for a tree

Katherine

I feel like what a lot of people are missing in terms of Tree of Life is that it's exactly the same approach as the gods have been using for centuries to no avail. Subdomains are essentially just Aeonic heroes. Will of the World is better sense it's a continuation of what Aeon has done best to actually defeat demon kings. Which is the usage of his main domain to suppress the power and destructiveness of demon kings. Notice how the central continent is safe exactly because of this. Just my two pieces.

Venalitor

I don't think it really matters. None of these domains seem to do a whole lot that can't be done through normal progression. Sure, being able to plant clones elsewhere, move the world through the void sea, or gain megamagics sounds great, but don't they all basically do the same thing in the end? I do think the immortal pantheon thing is probably the best in the long run as it guarantees allies with their own domains and is most likely to make the defensive war of attrition into a war of expansion. Merging with the world does sound limiting too, but it's also superpowered. Doing all the things with magic and having all the manas just sounds like supreme, sublime utility though. Is there really one that isn't an instant pick?

Jonathan Seah

It sounds to me that the options are basically short, medium and long term options. Will is most useful immediately but falls off quicker once they go multi world. Tree of Life remains relevant to the end, but while Heroes still exist and remain allied, have limited additional utility. Magic starts less powerful than the heroes but has implied faster research and nigh infinite power cap.

Anonymous

Tree of life makes strategic sense with its unending sustainable attritional ground combat on many worlds if need be, for all eternity but Is that the most fun option to read and write? Stakes for supporting cast disappear, only useful being is Aeon, the same story loop keeps repeating. I say: Will of the world - It just lets the story to do more things. repercussions for expansion(civil war), finding out more about all factions. More past lore/ light worldbuilding for past ways of fighting demons. Aeon is a single object, he at last can run away from stuff(as a world) Aeon's power creep gets reset. He does big things. Mortals do small stuff and we still have high stakes. Lumoof becomes super useful and we can see other worlds from a human perspective, so more options on that front too. Still I'm so excited to see what we get as the next powerup

Grissly1000

What will the Pantheon be called? Treetheon? :D Aeonic Pantheon?

John Cena

Since tree of life seems to be the winner, i will like to add that aeon should probably plant 1 clone at the centre of each continent and on a leyline. But before that he should plant one at the bottom of the world as deep as he can and block off all exits and entrances, leaving treeportation the only way to get in and out. Reach and survival ensured basically. Also moonbase if possible as an asap prioty.

John Cena

Also, we haven't heard of soulfragments and classfragments in forever. I feel the elite leadership deserves some OP ultra classes espicially Luminof. Wasnt he an arch druid? Aeon could make a new of those post-arch-druid master of the forrest things. Luminof is litterally his eternal servant afterall.

Cerber

Aoen has always been about adaptability and survivability

John Pratt
>>70609738

Once a person hits 150 their classes are all subsumed by their domain. Aeon still distributes upgraded classes, it's just become a part of the background bureaucracy he offloads onto his army of Artificial Souls.

Brian P.
>>70600110

I think moon base and also that world that Lumoof went to briefly, that Stella can easily get to. Really, just any world(s) that his void mages can manage to find would be good, as well as the other continents to start.

The Brandonator

Between Will of the World and Tree of Life, which one would offer a stronger defense? I know for will of the world Aeon will become the world itself, but Tree of Life does specifically state it will enhance endurance.

Winmau5

I assume tree of life is inspired by the legendary mechanic.

Arcanum

Will of the world or Crown of magic as he has the demon king cores to hunt the demon worlds, aiding Stella's development along with or will get the ability to bring other worlds that could become defenceless to him. He could also find out what the moons do eventually. Tree of life sounds boring

Arexio R.

'do nothing' lmao why

Svensonsen

Il disappointed with all of you that took tree of life. What a generic thing to do. Where is the mysterie where is the fantasy?

Gibbs

Should've went for Tree of Tamed Elf Fertilisation. Tentecle Tree.
