GREED: ALL FOR WHAT?

The first sage chuckled before he answered. "It is most definite that he has more than 6 laws in his concept."

"How many laws do you think he has?" Soverick asked. contemporary romance

The first sage's eye glinted with amusement as he answered, "More than 6."

Soverick wasn't satisfied with the answer. "I see that you don't know."

"No, I don't." The sage admitted. "No one knows how many laws he has. But everyone knows that the Monarch of High Heaven is very talented. What I do know with uttermost certainty is that the concept of a realm lord is near impossible to match the complexity of a world spark. Something created by the void universe is near perfect if not perfect itself. But the concept will do as long as the realm lord with the 6 law concept has the help of the world seed which is in direct control of the will of the plane. That makes the situation become two fragments against one."

The first sage asked him, "Do you see where I am going with this?"

He replied, "The world spark can be successfully forced out by the will of the plane working together with the realm lord and then replaced with the concept of the realm lord to liberate the plane."

"You are correct to make that conclusion." The sage was satisfied with his answer so he continued.

"Now you saw what I did in order to separate the realm heart, did you not?"

"I saw it," Soverick replied in the affirmative.

"It is a display of the complexity of the realm heart. The world spark and the world seed are joined together and bound together by the world engine. To separate the realm heart into fragments will lead to its destruction. This destruction is inevitable no matter how powerful the concept of the realm lord is. So how then can the realm tree not destroy itself in the process of trying to liberate itself? I'll tell you what it does. The realm tree scrapes other realm trees for parts to heal itself and make itself whole."

"Oh. So that's the era of conquest. That's the reason we attack other realm trees. It is to sacrifice an entire realm for the liberation of our realm."

"Yes yes. That's one of the major reasons. There are other benefits apart from survival. The realm tree gets more world engines so that the realm can produce more energy. The world seed grows stronger by consuming other world seeds so that the realm can expand. And the concept of the realm lord is upgraded into a world spark."

"Those are just three extra benefits or reasons for the era of conquest. There are many other hidden reasons and benefits. Apart from those are reasons why others want to help the realm tree succeed in the era of conquest. They can use this opportunity to have the realm lord owe them a favor."

"I see," Soverick said.

"You know the reason for the era of conquest. You know it is unavoidable if a realm is to liberate itself from the plane. Now let us go into how the realm lord's project affects the era of conquest. That is your main question after all. Or should I stop here?"

Soverick answered, "You can continue."

"Very well. I shall continue." The first sage said. Then he paused before he started speaking again. "You know the realm lord can't force others to do his bidding and no matter how powerful he is, he will be fighting the full force of another plane. So he needs help and assistance. By offering help, you can get something from the realm lord. The power of the favor is limited like your requests of me. The realm lord can choose not to honor it but he will as long as you ask for what you should ask for. Most Origin gods will ask for his assistance in destroying a realm tree so that they can get a world heart to become a world god themselves."

"Of course, not any riff raffs can just get the realm lord to owe them something. The realm lord will only owe favors based on the contributions to the success of the era of conquest. The best way to make a high contribution is to be in charge of the plane. You will be able to direct the forces of the plane and make significant contributions in a war that spans across two worlds with trillions upon trillions of lives. There's only so little that you can do as a single entity in that kind of war so many are scrambling for control of a plane right now."

"Now, the era of conquest doesn't need world gods. The strongest fighters will be Origin gods. But the era of conquest will not be independent of the influence of world gods. World gods can supply both sides with resources even if they can't participate in the war personally and origin gods can resurrect infinitely as long as they have the resources to do so. So the number of world gods involved in the war will determine who will win the era of conquest."

"The realm of high heaven should win pretty easily since we will be fighting a realm tree without a realm lord. So the enemy can be said to be doomed. But it just so happens that the realm lord of the realm of high heaven is not very liked. In fact, the Monarch of High Heaven has a lot of enemies. He is very notorious in the upper realm for his madness but the major reason why a lot of powerful people hate him is because he stopped the exploitation of the life trees in the home plane of the high elves."

That came as a surprise to Soverick.

He couldn't help but ask, "I know about the liberation of the life trees in the high life plane. But it was such a long time ago. Was the war that bad? How come they still hate the realm lord for it after all this time?"
