Yggdrasil's recovery had brought about enormous changes to the Midgard continent. With Niebelungen as home to Yggdrasil's most important thinking organ, the regeneration of the tentacles of the eldest First Born son was just as spectacular as that in Midgard.
If not seeing with their own eyes, no one would have known that today's Niebelungen was the rotten, dark, and toxin-laden land of the past. And the changes here were even more remarkable than what happened in Midgard.
The turbid cloud floating in the air had been cleared. The toxic springs all over the land had become cleaned up by the tentacles of the First Born, becoming beautiful lakes and rivers. The deep valleys had also been filled in. The roots of the World Tree had sprouted from the largest abysses and crypts, becoming the towering trees in the wilderness. The source of corruption—the lair of Nidhogg—had become the Temple of Life.
