Chapter 799: – The Struggle for Power

??

“Not bad.” Chen Heng glanced at the God of Shadows before him, then smiled and calmly said, “I can see that your strength has recovered quite a bit.”

“Barely.” The God of Shadows also smiled.

While Chen Heng was making his move in the Violet Empire, the God of Shadows was also not idle. Due to the fall of the Guardian of Cardo, the God of Shadows no longer had any enemies in the Cardo Empire.

The God of Shadows has very frequent movements during this period. The brand new Church of Shadows was constantly making moves in the Cardo Empire. They had defeated the Cardo Empire royal family in a short period and completely occupied it.

In the current Cardo Empire, the Church of Shadows had replaced the original Cardo Royal Family and became the mainstream of the Cardo Empire. Even the king of the Cardo Empire had fallen.

With the help of the Church of Shadows, a collateral branch of the Cardo Royal Family became the new king and established a series of policies that were beneficial to the Church of Shadows.

This also meant that the Cardo Empire, the most powerful of the three empires, had completely fallen into the God of Shadows’ hands. However, the power of faith it provided was naturally enormous, and it had many benefits for recovering the God of Shadows’ power.

The God of Shadows has undergone significant change despite the time limit. Nevertheless, he had completely recovered the majesty of a god, and his strength had a trace of his former elegance.

This time, he did not come alone. Chen Heng turned around and looked to the side. A beautiful and gentle-looking woman wearing a simple green robe appeared. She was shrouded by a radiance of kindness, leaving an inexplicable good impression on everyone.

She was the God of Nature, who had also arrived with the God of Shadows. However, these two didn’t come in their true bodies. Instead, they were just avatar differentiated using a slight bit of power and had come to pay a visit. The power used was naturally not enough for battle, but it was more than suitable to be used to pay a visit to a guest.

...

“It seems that you have already consolidated the Silver Moon Primogenitor’s power and are about to reach the Primogenitor’s Realm of this world.”

Looking at Chen Heng, a smile appeared on the God of Nature’s face, with a hint of envy.

“It’s almost there. It’s just that I’m still one step away from that level.” Chen Heng smiled and looked at the God of Nature, “Speaking of which, you should be almost there, right?”

Like Chen Heng, the God of Nature had also occupied the power of a primogenitor in this world and had even replaced him to a certain extent. Therefore, she should not be too far from that level with her foundation.

“I’m still a lot weaker compared to you.” The God of Nature felt helpless and said, “What I occupied was only the remains left behind by the Ancient Tree Primogenitor’s transformation. The real Ancient Tree Primogenitor has long since been hidden away. I don’t know where he has gone to.” She spoke calmly.

It turned out that the Ancient Tree Primogenitor was just like the Silver Moon Primogenitor. She had not died but had just been hiding. The remains left behind in the northern wasteland were only an appearance used to deceive people.

Back then, when the God of Nature descended into this world, she had directly descended into the northern wasteland. As the authority she held was similar, she had set her eyes on the remains. She wanted to replace the Ancient Tree Primogenitor and rise quickly using its power.

However, she did not expect that although the Ancient Tree Primogenitor had left behind the remains, he hadn’t fallen. After sensing the God of Nature’s actions, this primogenitor immediately made a prompt decision and hid.

“I have indeed obtained a portion of the Ancient Tree Primogenitor’s authority, but the majority of the authority is still with the Ancient Tree Primogenitor.”

The God of Nature spoke with some regret.

“What a pity.” On the side, the God of Shadows nodded with some regret.

The God of Nature and the Ancient Tree Primogenitor had very similar domains in this world, but at the same time, there were also significant differences.

This kind of divinity, which was similar in its domain, was an excellent supplement to each other. If one could devour and occupy the authority of another, one would be able to reach a higher level.

In the World of Gods, the God of Nature was just an ordinary weak god, far less powerful than a high-level god like the God of Shadows. However, if she could devour the authority of the Ancient Tree Primogenitor and combine the authority of the two holy existences into one, her power would inevitably rise, enabling her to reach the level of the God of Shadows. This was also why the God of Nature was constantly considered the Ancient Tree Primogenitor.

“Speaking of which, I have to thank Your Majesty.” The God of Nature looked at Chen Heng and expressed her gratitude, “If not for Your Majesty’s help, I would still take a long time to recover from my deep sleep.” She said with a smile on her face.

What the God of Nature said was naturally a matter in the World of Gods. During the battle between the Abyss World and the World of Gods, many gods fell into a deep sleep and had to use this method to accumulate power slowly.

The God of Nature was also one of them. Moreover, as she was not good at fighting and killing, and her strength was relatively weak, her injury was even more serious than other gods.

At that time, in the Karo Kingdom, the church left behind by the God of Nature had been devoured by the Dusk Cult. As a result, the God of Nature’s faith was weakening day by day, and she could not even wake up temporarily.

It was Chen Heng who changed everything. He seized the Karo Kingdom, changed Karo to the Hatim Kingdom, and then worshipped the God of Nature, vigorously promoting the God of Nature’s faith. Only then did the God of Nature’s power slowly recover and gradually restore its own will.

If it weren’t for Chen Heng’s help, the God of Nature would probably have fallen into silence. It was hard to say what would have happened in the end. Because of this, the God of Nature expressed her gratitude to Chen Heng.

The God of Shadows glanced at the two and didn’t say anything. Since they decided to cooperate, they naturally had to know everything. When the God of Shadows and the God of Nature had taken the initiative to convey the news of the Silver Moon Primogenitor, Chen Heng returned the favor by revealing his identity in the World of Gods.

On the one hand, it was to win the trust of others. Yet, on the other hand, it was also to feel emboldened. At this point, Chen Heng no longer needed to hide his identity and could openly look at others with his true face.

After all, few people could defeat him easily in the World of Gods. Even a powerful god like the God of Shadows might not be able to do anything to Chen Heng with his power still not fully recovered.

Strength was Chen Heng’s only confidence, encouraging him to reveal his identity. After all, he was now comparable to a god.

“This world is strong, and the primogenitor born is not inferior to a god. It is also a path that is not inferior to a god.” Looking at Chen Heng before him, the God of Shadows muttered to himself and said softly, “Do you have any thoughts?”

“Of course I do.” Chen Heng lowered his head and thought for a moment, then raised his head again with a smile appearing on his face. “However, I believe that the two of you can also see that although the primogenitor of this world is powerful, most of the reason lies in authority.”

“That’s right.” The God of Nature nodded, “In terms of us, we gods and the primogenitor of this world are sacred. Although our paths are different, there is no distinction between the good and the bad. What the primogenitor is truly better than us gods is the authority that he holds.” She said this because she was very clear about the authority of the gods and the primogenitor.

Compared to the God of Shadows, the God of Nature had seized part of the Ancient Tree Primogenitor’s authority, so she was very clear about the difference between the two.

Nonetheless, the God of Shadows also understood some things. After all, he had fought with the Guardian of Cardo for so long, and it was not that he had not gained anything.

From the Guardian of Cardo, he noticed many characteristics of the Primogenitor. In general, they were fundamentally different. The primogenitor and the god were both sacred. Although the way of ascension was different, both were undoubtedly very powerful.

However, compared to god, the primogenitor had not only power but also the authority given by the world. For example, the Silver Moon Primogenitor represented the Silver Moon, the Sun Primogenitor represented the sun, and the Ancient Tree Primogenitor controlled the natural replacement. These were all part of the world’s operation. The authority granted by this part of the world allowed them to become overly powerful.

“I once heard that in a distant world, there was an ancient sacred who once seized worlds and turned them into world consciousness, controlling the power of the world’s authority...” So the God of Shadows said.

“Replacing the world consciousness for oneself is equivalent to directly seizing an entire world and becoming the world’s representative. One can obtain strong power using this method but is also prone to problems. Although our holy wills are powerful, it is still fine for a short period facing the erosion of the world’s consciousness. However, if it is prolonged, I’m afraid it will be assimilated sooner or later.

“In the past, a few holy wills have also tried this path. However, they still failed in the end. Their bodies have become a part of the world, and they no longer have any self to speak of.”

The God of Nature also shook her head and denied this path. Beside her, Chen Heng quietly listened to the words of the two gods and could not help but be shocked. He suddenly thought of the scene in the World of Kings.

In that world, his avatar suppressed the initial space and was constantly eroded by the power of the initial space. To a certain extent, the situation was similar to what the God of Shadows had said.

It was just that his clone was not strong enough to seize the world’s consciousness directly. Instead, he could only choose to combine with the world’s consciousness and become the representative of the world’s consciousness.

However, the overall result was similar. If Chen Heng did not have the simulator, his avatar would sooner or later lose itself under the erosion of the world’s consciousness. Ultimately, it would completely lose its ability to control and become a puppet of the world’s consciousness.

Chen Heng did not encounter such a situation and could continue to control that avatar simply because he had the power of the simulation device on his body to isolate the erosion of the world’s power.

Based on the discussion between the God of Shadows and the God of Nature, it could be heard that similar paths had already been tried before by the past Divines, but they just did not make it through. However, could Chen Heng do what others couldn’t do?

Chen Heng couldn’t help but fall into deep thought. Nonetheless, it couldn’t be done by the main body because if that were the case, his own body would also be eroded. So even with the protection of the simulation device, he would sooner or later become a madman.

Yet, what if it was just using an avatar? Just like how it was done in the World of Kings. It seemed possible. Chen Heng’s eyes lit up then he thought of another feasible path.

He had already decided to wait until later to try and create more avatars and send them to different worlds. In this way, even the imprints he had previously distributed had a new effect.

He could assign missions to travelers like the God of Shadows, letting them be in charge of cleaning up the experts and obstacles in that world and subsidizing Chen Heng’s avatar in seizing that world.

Experts like the God of Shadows were responsible for clearing the way, while Chen Heng only needed to sit back and enjoy the fruits of their labor, directly seizing the core of that world.

During this process, the God of Shadows and the others obtained the resources and believers of the other world, while Chen Heng obtained the world itself and the simulation points. So, wasn’t this a win-win situation?

“Your Majesty?” Before him, the God of Shadows’ somewhat doubtful voice continued to be heard.

Chen Heng raised his head, looked at the God of Shadows before him, and smiled, “I’m listening. Please continue.”

“Okay.” The God of Shadows nodded, then said, “It’s not advisable to directly seize the world and replace the world’s consciousness. However, if you are just like the primogenitor of this world, controlling a certain part of the world’s operation, it seems that you can also use this to gain the support of the world’s power.

This is also a viable path. You can obtain the world’s power to supplement and strengthen it, and at the same time, avoid the erosion of the world’s consciousness.”

“That’s right.” Chen Heng thought for a moment, then nodded. “That’s indeed the case.”

To give up replacing the world’s consciousness directly and instead control a part of the world’s operation, the gains would naturally be much smaller, but the risk would also become minimal.

There was no need to risk directly becoming a madman, and he could safely enjoy the world’s support and authority. This was naturally a good thing. The only disadvantage of such actions was that they would become much more involved.

As the authority within the world was limited, so did the entire world’s power. It was impossible to provide for so many people with unlimited authority. Therefore, to seize authority, the many Divines would have to fight each other to the bitter end. The struggle for authority was far crueler than the struggle for faith in the World of Gods.

‘If that was the case, then it was no wonder that the primogenitor world would be like this.’ Chen Heng pondered for a moment, and then this thought flashed through his mind.

The reason was very simple. In the case of the primogenitor world, if there were an endless stream of newborn Divines, the fight would begin.
