Mother high heaven arranged the path of the other three stars of the realm to accommodate the newcomer and maximize their output. She nudged and shifted them around the realm tree. Then she gave him directions for his orbit after he was done with the most important changes. He followed it obediently mostly because he is not powerful enough to defy her and partly because he doesn't have anything better to do.
The way she grabbed him made him experience how unsafe a star is in the void universe. World gods will certainly be interested in a special and weak star like him. All it will take for them to have him is to simply reach forward and pluck him like some fruit from a tree. So he can't get cocky yet. He certainly can't get cocky with someone whose plane he was about to destroy.
Mother High Heaven smiled contentedly when she was done with her work.
She said to her partner, "Now Realm high heaven has four stars. I got another star without doing anything. You were right. Free stuff is the best."
A star is very important to the realm tree. It is the source of the much-needed catalyst of life. Life can exist without the sun as long as there is mana, but a star speeds it up. Light and heat energize a system and increase the rate at which reactions go on within it. Which means faster evolution, and larger diversity. There are other important uses apart from speeding up evolution. The presence of light and heat allows plants to flourish which forms the basis of the food chain.contemporary romance
Light also makes creatures evolve into forms that can withstand light and heat. Without light, creatures tend to be very minimalist in their choice of organs and become too specific in the type of environment they can survive in. So alternating cycles of light and darkness ensures that living things can adapt somewhat to both light and dark conditions. In summary, A star is a boon to the realm.
The realm tree has three stars that circle the planes and provide energy but it hasn't been enough. She would have loved to create more but stars are expensive and dangerous to create. A star is a creation of chaos. It comes about when the conditions of matter, gravity, pressure, and energy are right.
The conditions to create stars are very strict which results in a very high risk of failure. Trying to create one needs a lot of energy and can also lead to an explosion. The explosion of a star is no joke even to a world god. Creating a star can turn into creating a very expensive and unstable bomb. So getting a star without working for it felt good to mother high heaven.
She is happy about the situation but her partner isn't so enthusiastic about it.
The realm lord spoke to her. "I was right. I am always right. I am also right when I said nothing is ever free. There has to be a price to pay. Mark my words."
"So far so good. The addition of Helios will increase the productivity of the realm by 14%." She argued in favor of the new star.
He countered, "That means there will be an increase in energy consumption."
"The increase in efficiency of energy usage will be more than make up for the increase in consumption."
The realm lord grunted. He didn't have anything to top that.
She poked at him. "You're just bitter because you didn't think about it and it is cool."
He snorted but he didn't disagree with her. He has to admit that it is cool to become a star but he has other reasons why he is unhappy about it.
"I'm sure I can become a star if I thought of it. I just didn't think of it." He muttered.
She rolled her eyes. "Sure. I'm sure you can do it?"
He glared at her and said, "I know you don't believe me but I can do anything if I put my mind to it. And I mean anything."
"I'm not disagreeing with you."
He changed the conversation. "How did he do it though?"
He really didn't think about becoming a star because he never thought it was possible. But now that he is thinking about it, he realizes that it will not be easy to do.
She answered him. "He broke another limit of the universe."
"I know that. I am asking if becoming the star is the limit he broke or if it is something else."
"I don't know what limit he broke because even Legion doesn't know All I know is that Helios collapsed, and then he became a star. Last I know they were trying to figure out Authority."
The realm lord spoke his thoughts. "Something seems fishy here. I know for sure that he didn't figure out Authority because I figured out Authority. So what did he figure out?"
The major reason why he is pissed off is that he can't do anything untoward to Helios. He would like to grab the newborn star and dissect it or probe it to figure out how he works but he can't because of his responsibilities as the realm lord. It is moments like this that make him hate being the realm lord.
If he were an ordinary world god, then he will be able to go on a rampage without impunity. He is powerful and he likes the freedom to use his power but he is being constrained by his position. It is very rare to come across someone who has broken a law of the universe. It is almost impossible for that person to be from the same realm as him. But it has happened and he is missing the great opportunity to satisfy his curiosity because he is the realm lord
She asked him. "Speaking of Authority, when will your project be ready? World gods don't have patience."
"It will be ready when it is ready. Art cannot be rushed. They will have to wait."
The realm lord brushed off the concern for his project and continued to think about Legion instead.
