GREED: ALL FOR WHAT?

Chapter 1670: Peace At Last.



Soverick used this opportunity to brag. "It seems I was right to suggest we give up on him." Legion-1 interjected, "You said we should just give up on him completely. It was Aeternus and I that insisted that we do that after we get his dragon heart and use him as bait for the dragons and Supreme Alliance. If we had listened to you, we would have gained nothing from him."

Soverick insisted, "I was right, and that's all that matters."

They can joke now because Soverick has seen that the darkness looming around them has retreated like a tide. They have avoided their biggest danger, and even the world gods searching around have also stopped. It seems something happened that drew their attention or made them stop searching. Whatever it is, Legion is all too glad for it.

----Ascension.

The era of conquest has officially ended, and it brought with it a lot of changes. For one, the Tyrant Realm is no more. It crumbled, so the realm alignment between the two realms has ended.

The realm rift has closed, and the dungeons have disappeared. The suppression of the realm has been reinstated, and Origin gods are no longer welcome in the realm. This made Origin gods leave en masse.

The biggest change is that the realm of high heaven is evolving right now. The realm heart has ejected the world spark, so the realm tree has detached from the law matrix. This change was visible for all to see in the void.

The large realm tree in the void shook for a while. Then it shrank and began descending to the dark side. Everyone saw it leave its position in the void. It is probably the first time they have seen such a thing. This makes two realm trees that have disappeared from the light side of the void universe.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Some world gods followed after the fleeing realm tree. Now that the realm has lost the protection of the void universe, world gods can attack it however they want. The realm has become a target to prey on. They just have to contend with the realm lord, who will also become a world god and a powerful one at that.

What people didn't see was the situation going on in the realm tree. The realm lord had returned to the realm tree with the white ball. Then he waited for his ascension to start.

Unlike others during their breakthrough to world god, his would be easy and seemless. He doesn't have to build a world, so he can't fail at building one. His world is already big and powerful, so he doesn't even have to put in effort to make it big and powerful.

He also doesn't need to build a foundation since Mother High Heaven is doing all of that for him. She is replacing the world spark with his Supreme Law and then creating a law matrix with his Supreme Law to replace the law matrix that the realm tree left behind. All he has to do is wait and watch as he becomes a world god.

Everything has been served to him on a platter. But he can't enjoy any of it.

He said to himself, "At least I will have peace now."

His system spoke to him.

-IT IS TIME.

-THIS IS GOODBYE.

The realm lord laughed. It was all he could do to ease the aching in his mind. The injury he sustained in his last life is getting worse and has been hurting him. Laughter alleviates a little.

He knows what the system is talking about, but he doesn't know what to feel about it. Technically, he is about to die. The first one will awaken, and the product of his dream will

die.

He should be afraid of death. However, it is not so. He would like to live, but the aching of his mind won't let him. This pain is proof that he is already dying.

The stronger he becomes, the weaker the bounds of the void universe on the collosal psychic engram slumbering within his consciousness. That means when he becomes strong enough, the psychic engram will awaken and lead to his death. Anything to avoid it is just a painful delay accompanied by a slow death.

So he chuckled. "Yes. This is goodbye. We have had a long run, you and I. I won't miss you, though. You ruined my life."

-I CAN'T MISS YOU EITHER.

-I KNOW MANY VERSIONS OF YOU THAT HAVE DIED.

-I DIDN'T MISS ANYONE OF THEM.

-YOU WILL BE THE LATEST ONE.

-YOU WILL ALSO BE THE LAST ONE.

-I STILL WON'T MISS YOU.

He was deep in thought as someone appeared beside him. It was a naked white and pale lady. She looked almost transparent, like glass.

She asked him, "What are you thinking about?"

He replied, "I'm thinking about the mystery of the world."

She chuckled. "Are you thinking about your death? Don't be sad about that. You won't be erased. You will exist in the memories of others and in the memories of your original self."

"Don't try to cheer me up. You are bad at that."

She shrugged. "I wasn't trying to cheer you up. I was just telling you a mystery of the world." He asked her, "Did you follow me to meet Legion?"

"I did. Legion is an interesting fellow. I would have loved to watch them for much longer, but I didn't want to leave you in these trying times. I am probably the only one who knows your true situation and cares about you."

He was skeptical about that. "You care about me, but you don't want me to find a way to save myself."

"Now, now. Don't be like that. You can't be saved because you were not meant to last this long. You are like a mask. A mask to deceive the void universe. You will be removed and discarded after the ploy is over. It is simply a fact that I would prefer you accept and not try to sabotage."
