Chapter 1650: An Expensive Lesson.
If the first sage determines the fate of someone, the destiny of that person has been changed. They will bring to pass the declaration of the first sage, regardless of how they resist.
If the destination has been set, then it doesn\'t matter which road they take or how long they take to reach it, they will meet this destination when the journey ends. Then they will find the first sage waiting there for them even if they are world gods.
That\'s what the eye of the sage is. It is an eye that sees the multitudes of fates, locks on to one of them, and fixes it for the future. Then it uses everything available to bring about that fixed future.
Considering that he has the power of a world available to him, it is quite easy for the first sage to make them wish they were dead.
This is their current and only understanding of the first sage. They don\'t know more because they have purged a lot of their understanding of the Supreme Law of the Eye of the Sage after resurrecting
They used Legion-7\'s spark of the soul for it and it was painful in more ways than one. They didn\'t want to let go of their knowledge of an enemy, but it won\'t do to make the same mistake after paying a heavy price to learn the lesson.
They have learned their lesson, so they purged it. They might revisit it in the future when they become world gods, but as of now, they just know enough to be cautious of the first sage.
The little they know is enough to understand that it is normal for their defeat at the hands of the first sage to happen. Soverick was a king of law back then when he took the bait, and they are currently still Origin gods without Supreme Laws, so their defeat after taking the bait was just a matter of time.
They didn\'t feel incapable despite losing in a fight to the shadow of a world god and not even the real world god. What has got them downcast are the consequences of this defeat.
The era of conquest is truly important for their plans. Without it, they would have to find all the things they need to become world gods themselves, and it would be difficult. Their fruitless search for world seed has already shown that even if they have the money to buy, there is no supply for what they want.
A normal Supreme Origin god will face that kind of difficulty. But they are not normal Origin gods. They don\'t just need one set of world engines and world seeds. For them to achieve their ambitious plan, they need at least eight sets.
That is not something they will be able to get easily. Not only will they need a lot of wealth, It might actually take forever to assemble that much. So things are more difficult for them.
The first sage recognized the importance of the era of conquest to them, so he decided to lock them out of it. They received information through the virtual forum of the realm about the progress of the realm war. This made them sure that they hadn\'t missed out on the era of conquest completely.
At this point, the first and second invasions of high heaven have ended. The third invasion by the black ball of flesh had just begun. The fourth invasion by the Origin god Tyrants into the high heaven realm is just about to start.
The Tyrants want to pincer the high heaven realm from the divine plane while the black ball pressures the high heaven realm from the dungeons. They don\'t know that it is a losing fight since the Will of the Tyrant realm is about to die.
The bulk of the Origin gods of the high heaven realm are in the high heaven realm, defending the dungeons and preparing for the battle in the divine plane. By the looks of things to Legion, the high heaven realm is actually being pressured and might be defeated.
They don\'t think the High Heaven realm would lose since Monarch High Heaven hasn\'t moved into action yet, but they surely are worried because they haven\'t contributed a single thing to the era of conquest.
They are also running out of time to contribute to the war, so they couldn\'t help but become anxious. But they didn\'t let their anxiety blind them. Each one of them used every method they knew to verify that they were not in a simulation anymore.
That was the first thing they did. It was after they confirmed that they were not in a simulation that they allowed themselves to bother about their current lack of contribution points.
Legion-1 thought to them, "The situation is precarious for us and the high heaven realm. We are desperate, and so are the two realms. That means any assistance rendered at this point will be highly valued."
Helios asked, "Who are we helping? The Tyrant realm or the High Heaven Realm?"
Soverick replied, "The high heaven realm. We can\'t betray the high heaven realm, and the Tyrant realm doesn\'t have a realm lord to assist us even if they win."
Legion-1 continued, "If we manage to resolve the current danger of this abomination, then we might make enough contributions to the high heaven realm. Unfortunately, that is a tall order and we might fall. In fact, every Origin god might fail, and the high heaven realm falls."
Aeternus added, "It doesn\'t matter if the realm is in danger or not. It doesn\'t matter if it falls. We just can\'t give up on contributions. Not until the realm actually falls. We have to do something. What we decide now is how much we want to do."
