GREED: ALL FOR WHAT?



The first sage was speaking, "The Will of the realm and the realm heart breaks when the realm tree is destroyed. So when a world god destroys a realm tree, they don't get the full realm heart but the fragmented parts. This is not a big problem. An origin god that wants to become a world god just needs the world engine and the world seed. They will use their Supreme law as the substitute for the world spark. They can become a world god with these three." 

"The problem is that a world made up of just those three is an imperfect world. It is a world capable of life but it has a big weakness. It can allow life to exist within it and life will rise up from it given enough time. But without the consciousness of all life, there is little control over the appearance of life. That is to say, the occurrence of life is random and out of the control of the world god." 

"Life is very important to a world god. It is very important for a lot of reasons. But control over the life within the world of a world god is absent so the occurrence of life is random. Now control over life can be acquired if the world seed is paired with a sentient plant that has the energy transmutation ability. It is even better if the plant can create life energy specifically. And it is best if the plant can create life essence. Are you seeing where I am going with this?"

"So life trees are very important to origin gods that want to become world gods and to other world gods who want control over life in their world. By stopping their exploitation of life trees, the realm lord has offended a lot of very powerful people. He cut off their path of progress to power." Soverick said after a dawning realization.

He didn't know that life trees were so important. He always thought that their only use was for life essence. He has now gained a newfound respect for the realm lord. The realm lord offended a lot of people by liberating the life trees. It must not have been easy to do.

People kill each other for money or if their source of livelihood is tampered with. The realm lord went further than that. He blocked a source of great power. It is understandable that there will be many people pissed off by his actions and would want revenge on him.

The mention of energy transmutation ability also made Soverick think of Hadrick and the tree father. Now he knows what will happen if someone powerful hears of them and decides to target them.

The first sage continued, "A world will eventually awaken and create a will once there is enough life within the world. That's how the realm trees awakened themselves in the first place but it will take a very long time. I am talking about millions of years. It could even be billions of years. It is time that can be shortened to mere thousands, maybe even just hundreds of years with a life tree."

ραndαsΝοvεl ƈοm "His act of liberating the life trees offended a lot of people. So a war between two realm trees during the era of conquest will now become the continuation of the war of life trees. That means a lot of origin gods and world gods will help the other realm tree so that they can use it to gain access to high heaven through the war. The realm lord needs a lot of origin gods and world gods on his side too if he wants any hope of winning."I think you should take a look at ραΠdαsnovel.cοm

Others would be doomed in such a situation but not the Monarch of High Heaven. He created a project with a very enticing reward. This project will hold after the era of conquest. The reward for this project has attracted a lot of world gods and these world gods have to protect their investment. They won't get anything if he dies so they have to get involved in the war on his side during the era of conquest." 

The first sage finished his explanation. "Now you know how the realm lord's project relates to the era of conquest. I have answered your question in a satisfactory manner. I might even say that I have gone beyond and above."

Soverick nodded. It has been quite the journey with one mind-blowing revelation after another. He knows that the sage is hiding some things from him since he also knows more than has been revealed. But what the sage has revealed is more than enough for him to be satisfied.

'It seems everyone is a schemer.' He thought to himself. 'But why did the realm lord save the life trees."

The sage and his descendants schemed against a world god by using him to win a bet. Then they discarded him after they were done with him. The realm lord is also scheming to use his project to tie many world gods to his ship so to say, so that everyone will help him if his ship starts to sink. But all of these can be avoided had the realm lord not completely stopped the exploitation of life trees. 

He could have just reduced the exploitation to a minimal level and even taken advantage of the scarcity to gain favors and more resources by auctioning life trees to the highest bidder. But the realm lord didn't do that. He stopped the exploitation completely and offended everyone involved completely. It sounds foolish, short-sighted, and heroic.

Soverick doesn't think that the realm lord is a benevolent person who will do something that will hurt him without getting any benefit from it. A powerful person like the realm lord surely didn't get to where he is today by being foolish. And it is clear that the realm lord knows how to scheme. So there must be something that benefited the realm lord when he stopped the exploitation of life trees.
