GREED: ALL FOR WHAT?

Chapter 1701: Not Complicated At All.



Even Sovereigns of law will eventually die without protection. This is because this world is not their home. It is dangerous to everything not born in it.

Despite this word being deadly to creatures below the transcendent level, it is not a dead world, and it contains weak creatures below the transcendent level. Ghaster has glimpsed many types of living things in the ocean. They frolick about, peacefully and right at home despite all the lightning.

He has even been shown a lightning tree that is rising from the depths of the ocean. According to his ancestor, the tree would grow tall enough to hold up the sky and give birth to different types of life.

It is a dazzling light to see. It has also given Ghaster a lot to think about. This world is completely different from the void universe. It doesn't have any of the rules of the void universe.

Living things and objects from the void universe can't exist here without the Will of the world god. Even then, they still need to be transcendent and have the protection of the world god to remain alive. Only Origin gods can live here without help from the world god, but being here means they will be under every whim of the world god.

This world represents the subversion of the rule of the void universe. It represents the Sovereignty of an entity over the void universe. To Ghaster, not only does it represent the beauty of lightning, it also represents the immense power that lightning is capable of.

He clenched his fist in determination and longing. He said to himself, "This could be mine."

This could be his one day. Unfortunately, he won't achieve it as long as he remains in this world.

As a transcendent, the next step for him is to comprehend laws. But he can't comprehend the laws of the void universe here. He can only comprehend the derivative laws of this world.

He would be able to comprehend these derivative laws quickly because he has an affinity for lightning and he has the bloodline of the creator of the world, but comprehending the derivative laws will only grant him power in this world. It won't grant him the Authority needed for him to become a king of law in the void universe or any Authority that he can use to create a concept.

Cosmic energy is very important to world gods and it is rare. Even if his ancestor could spare the Cosmic energy needed to create Authority and was willing to give it to him, the Authority and the concept he creates from it would only be useful in this world.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

In other words, by staying here and enjoying the safety of this world, he has cut himself off from the void universe and the path of perfection that it grants. The best he can achieve in this world with the full support of his ancestor is to become an Origin god, but then he would never be able to leave.

Being an Origin god of a world god means one has used their laws to create a concept and has fused with that concept. They will have power only in this world, and they will become one with the Supreme Law of this world, just like normal Origin gods become one with the Law Matrix.

In a way, he would be a puppet for his ancestor. His existence could be overwritten at any moment, and he would have lost his freedom. This is if he gets the support of his ancestor. If he doesn't get it, then he will remain a transcendent and die when his life span is up.

This is not the fate he wants. Neither of the two options is enough for him. So he is contemplating leaving this world. But to leave is to face the danger of the void universe.

That decision is something he would have done gladly and easily had he not heard about the deaths of his father and grandfather. Now, he has to think this through before taking action.

He was deep in thought when a figure appeared beside him. She was an oddity in this world of lightning. She had white skin and green hair. It didn't match the blue of the ocean, the black of the sky, or the gold of the sun. But she was in harmony with the world nonetheless.

He noticed the figure because she wanted him to see her. She might have always been by his side, and he didn't notice until now. He has no delusions that the ability to see her is his own power.

He greeted her with a slight bow and said, "Ancestor Hadricks."

"Little Ghaster. Are you thinking of going to the void universe again?"

He nodded and replied, "Yes, I am. I haven't been able to make a decision yet."

"Why not? The choices are clear. And if you know what you want, then the decision should be easy to make."

Ghaster smiled and said, "It is more complicated than that."

She waved her hand in dismissal. "It is not complicated. Tell me, do you know what you want?"

"Yes, I do."

She asked him, "What is it that you want?"

"I want to become strong like my ancestor. If possible, I want to be stronger." "Regardless of what you want, there are two choices. The first is to stay in this world. You will have peace and safety, but you will lose the chance of becoming a world god. The second choice is to go to the void universe. You will face danger every step of the way, and you might die. But you will have a chance of becoming a world god."

Then she asked him, "Now tell me, which choice is the right one to achieve what you want?"

Ghaster replied quietly, "The second one."

"See? It was that simple. Deep down, you know this option to be the correct one. You are just afraid. The issue was never complicated. You were just afraid. Something complicated is how to sequence the genome of a rat immune to lightning using mana."
