For all he knows, walking out might be what the first sage wants him to do. The failure of the negotiation will be his fault and not the sage's. If he is sure of anything, it is that the first sage doesn't like him and is actively frustrating him so it is not a wonder why he is tempted to leave. But he can't let the first sage win so easily. So he stayed.
The sage continued, "The world spark is the representation and manifestation of a concept but at a higher order. In other words, it is a more powerful version of a concept because it is made by the void universe itself and not from the mind of any inhabitant of the universe. It is a creation of the void universe so it is imbued and empowered with the cosmic forces of the void universe."
"The world spark is the spark that starts the world engine and gives shape to the world seed. It contains the programmed mechanisms that all realm trees possess, hence it gives direction to the world seed and since it is from the void universe, it gives world engines access to cosmic energy and more. It started a realm tree but every realm tree that still has it will die with the universe when the universe ends."
"Did you know that?" The sage paused to ask him.
"No, I didn't." He admitted to his ignorance.
"So shut up and let me do my explanation."
It seems the sage is still sore about being interrupted earlier. Soverick didn't say anything now because he can't say what he has in mind to defend himself. That will only get the first sage angry and slow things down. The sage said he should shut up. So he shut up and listened.
ραndαsΝοvεl ƈοm "The world spark is made from very powerful laws. It is so powerful that it binds a realm tree to the void universe. It is the foundation of the realm tree and its anchor to the void universe. With it in a realm tree, no world god can enter the realm tree because they will have the assistance of the void universe in repelling world gods. But that connection with the void universe is what drags down a realm tree with the void universe while world gods will survive easily."
Soverick thought to himself, "That's why almost no one uses the world spark for anything and why Legion-7 will be putting himself in trouble if he actually fuses with the world spark."
He kept his thoughts to himself and continued listening attentively to the first sage.
"Fortunately, there is a way out. As powerful as the world spark is, it is only made up of 6 laws. The complexity of the world spark is near perfect such that no being can come up with a concept of such complexity and power, but there are beings that can certainly come up with concepts of 6 laws. That's where realm lords come in."
"Wow." He exclaimed. "So that's why a 6-law concept is needed to become a realm lord."
"Wrong." The sage was quick to shut him down. "Anyone can become a realm lord. They can do it either through the acceptance of the will of the realm or by force. You can become the realm lord if you overcome the resistance of the will of the realm but you can only do that if you're a world god yourself. It is not even possible for anyone to force it. The realm heart will crack if you try to force a fusion with it. which will lead to the destruction of the realm itself."
The first sage paused to laugh.
Then he said, "I remember that some dragons tried to do it some time ago. They tried to forcefully make a realm lord without the Will of the realm's permission. It was before the realm lord was chosen. That was a long time ago but I remember it as clear as the day. They tried to usurp the will of mother high heaven and gain control of the realm. They failed pretty badly."
The first sage's laughter died down but he was still chuckling. "You didn't see it so you won't realize the scale of the entire endeavor. Immortal beings like me remember it clearly. I am sure the entity most clear about the events that occurred will be Mother high heaven. She still hates the dragons to this day."
"I see," Soverick muttered.
"Anyways, there's another option to become a realm lord. Anyone can become the realm lord of the realm tree as long as the world seed agrees with that person. It is the opposite of becoming a realm lord by force. But since the consciousness of the world seed or the will of the realm is not stupid, it will not accept anyone with a concept made up of less than 6 laws. Even then, the will of the realm can refuse an origin God with a 6-law concept either because the will doesn't like that origin god or because there is another origin god with a better concept."
"Oh," Soverick said in realization.
He has just realized that the requirement to become a realm lord is not set in stone. What's most important to become a realm lord is the acceptance of the will of the realm or the ability to overcome the will of the realm forcefully.
The amount of laws in a concept doesn't entitle an Origin God to the position. The fact that you meet or go beyond the 6-law requirement doesn't give you the right to the position. It is all up to the will of the realm. The will of the realm can choose a 6-law concept origin god to become the realm lord instead of an 8-law origin god that it doesn't like.
Soverick asked, "Does that mean that the realm lord probably has more than 6 laws in his concept?"
