GREED: ALL FOR WHAT?



There is a saying among mortals that you shouldn't try to look upon the visage of a god. They are right. Some information should not be known and some knowledge should not be acquired. Like so, some visage shouldn't be gazed upon. At least not with eyes that try to comprehend everything they see.

The first time his mind was almost ruined because of what his eyes saw was when he gazed upon the form of mother high heaven. He still cannot do so right now. Funny enough, a mana entity without his eyes can gaze upon her without any issues. A Sovereign of law or any other clone of Legion can do so too. After all, they don't have his eyes or see what he sees. 

It is not a matter of power. It is a simple clash of existence. To know about someone is to be aware of their existence. His eyes take that awareness to another level. Data about what he sees enters his mind for it to be processed into information so looking at mother high heaven is imbibing data about her existence into his own existence.

His existence and her existence will clash within his mind. It is a dangerous thing to do without a concept to protect and keep his existence free from the influence of her existence. But now he has been made to look at the literal heart of mother high heaven.

It might be harmless for someone without his eyes to look at in the real world. But this is not the real world. This is mind space with a meeting of the mind. Anyone will see what he saw regardless of their possession of the eyes he has because Conjuring these fragments is the same thing as the first sage directly pouring the knowledge into his mind.

Anyone can call him paranoid but Soverick believes that it was not a mistake that the heart was conjured for him to look at and its fragments generously exposed for him to examine.

He looked at the first sage and smiled. Then he said, "Nice try."

The sage was amused too. "I am impressed. It seems you are made of stronger stuff. Now we can continue this negotiation since you didn't become a raving beast."

"That is fortunate." He said through gritted teeth.

He is honestly rattled. It was a trap and he walked right into it. He was so close to dying forever or worse, taking all of the vulnerable clones of Legion down with him. The supreme law of a world god without the empowerment of their world was not enough to kill him, but the heart of a realm tree might be able to do the trick because it always has the support of the void universe. 

If that had happened, then he would be effectively neutralized. The first sage is sure to benefit immensely from it. Especially since he already swore the Oath. It won't be his fault that Soverick can't handle the things he asked for. 

After all, if he can't gaze upon the remnants of a dead realm tree then he shouldn't be negotiating with a world god in the first place. He is in the big leagues now. He should at least be able to pretend to wear the same shoe size as the big players if he wants to look like one of them. Fortunately, he has Legion-7. He was able to pretend very well.

"Do you know what these are?" The sage asked.

"Yes, I do. The ring of light is the world engine. The abstract manifestation of information is the world spark and the crystal of infinite faces is the world seed."I think you should take a look at

"Good. So you know what you will get."

He said in resignation, "Yes. I'll be getting the crappy one that no one uses."contemporary romance

The sage corrected him, "You mean the world spark which is a very powerful but underappreciated artifact. I am sure you will find a use for it. You are resourceful and have surprised me several times. I am sure you will think of something."

The sage is referring to Legion-7. Soverick's eye became cold. He thought to himself, "This snake and his tricks. He is still trying to push me towards death even now."

"What does this have to do with my question?" Soverick asked so that they can move on and away from Legion-7. 

He doesn't see the significance or the relationship between a realm heart and the significance of the realm Lord's project. He also has a feeling that the sage is testing his knowledge or at least leading him on. He can't just stand there passively and watch the sage try to manipulate him. So he is trying to hurry the sage up.

The sage was silent before he began to talk. "Your question is about a complicated subject so I will start with the era of conquest. As you know, the era of conquest starts when the realm lord of a realm tree is about to become a world god. A realm tree without a realm lord won't have to go through this problem. They will be safe from world gods forever till the end of the void universe. Then they will end with the void universe."

Soverick interrupted, "I know this."

The first sage said with barely concealed anger, "Don't rush me. You either let me finish or you don't get your answer."

"Please continue." He relented with a sigh of resignation. 

The ball is practically in the first sage's court. Only he can determine their direction and pace. This is the first sage's mind space and he is the one answering a question. So Soverick can only go with the flow. It is very dangerous but he has to bear with it or walk out of the meeting entirely.
