“The Circle of Life”
{| style="width: 100%;"

When these creatures die, this energy goes through the earth back into the Tree. This is the system of reincarnation regulating the flow of life and death in the world. Essentially, the “Sacred Tree” is the combination of 2 different types of reincarnation systems, known as “sefiroth” and “qliphoth”. The energy radiating from the “Sacred Tree” spreads throughout the earth, and is granted new life as it takes the form of any and all newborn creatures who draw breath upon the land.

The Executives of these systems were “Sophia, Goddess of Rebirth”, and “Tierra, Source of Destruction”.

However, in the Battle of Gods in times immemorial, “Sophia” managed to overcome “Tierra”, obtaining sole directive over the “Sacred Tree’s” system.

Even so, “Tierra” had no thoughts of giving up trying to seize control of the world. After spending unmeasurable aeons interfering with the life energy being recycled back into the “sefiroth”, and turning it into life energy for the “qliphoth”, “Tierra” slowly regained some of its power. Seizing the chance as “Sophia” fell in battle against the surface lifeforms, “Tierra” began planning its advent on the surface world once more. The first step would be reactivating the “qliphoth”, while the second step would be regaining the 10 “Cores” to remove the seal suppressing its powers. The final part of the plan would have “Tierra” obtain the powers of “creation” and “destruction”, and complete its revival. And so, this former deity began to put its dark machinations into motion.
