Pantheon.
The phantoms of the Sun God and the God of Law stand facing each other.
"Form Chaos Allied Forces?"
The God of Law looked at the Sun God, a slight ripple appearing in his usually indifferent eyes.
"You mean we should form an alliance to attack that newly discovered Spirit Saint Domain?"
"Yes." The Sun God nodded.
"Don't you want to possess that method that can quickly purify the Power of Faith? Whether it's the Northern Spirit Empire or the divine God of Faith System in the Divine Realm, they all fundamentally rely on the power Power of Faith Power of Faith. And the purer and more abundant the Power of Faith, the greater the benefits to our growth and expansion," said the Sun God.
"The problem is that the exploration of the Spirit Saint Domain is not yet completely over. Many details can only be filled in after those Explorer return. If we rashly cross the dangerous and unpredictable Chaos Sea to attack another relatively powerful realm, and the battle goes poorly, it will be extremely difficult for us to return." The God of Law was very cautious. He was only the strongest in the Northern Spirit Empire, not the core will.
The Fate of the Northern Spirit Empire is determined by the Imperial Council Hall.
Strictly speaking, the God of Law itself has no soul of its own. The wisdom it exhibits is merely a decision-making form that has evolved after artificial intelligence has developed to a certain level. In essence, it is equivalent to the collective wisdom of all the high-ranking members of the Imperial Council. But just like a computer, no matter how advanced it is, it has no decision-making power of its own.
In this situation, the caution shown by the God of Law is entirely understandable. Moreover, the Chaos Sea is indeed as dangerous as he said; simply entering the Chaos means that the risk itself is rushing towards him.
Faced with the God of Law's hesitation, the Sun God's expression darkened, and his voice became somewhat urgent. He said, "We still have to wait for the Explorer to return. Don't you know that the entire Spirit Saint Domain has been completely ruled by that being who calls himself the Heavenly Emperor? And while it's unclear whether that Heavenly Emperor is a being who came from our Astral Realm, one thing is certain: his relationship with the World Alliance and the World Tree is extremely close."
"This also means that the Heavenly Emperor and the Lord of Endless are potential allies. Once the Spirit Saint Domain is completely integrated with the Astral Realm God King, what kind of monster will be created by combining the purification method of Power of Faith contained in the Spirit Saint Domain, the almost invincible advantage of the World Tree Universe's super-universe defense war, and the Lord of Endless's God-King status and his terrifyingly talented cultivation? Don't you feel it? It will be our divine system's nightmare."
After the Sun God finished speaking, a moment of silence fell. The God of Law's pupils contracted slightly as he frantically analyzed the meaning of those words. Finally, the God of Law confirmed that the Sun God was not exaggerating or deceiving him.
From the perspective of the Divine System alone, if the Lord of Endless is regarded as an enemy, other powerful beings in the divine system will face immense pressure. It should be noted that the struggle between lineages is the most unsolvable, and the same is true for the struggle between systems.
In this situation, if the Lord of Endless truly ascends to the level of Eternity, then that will be the beginning of disaster.
Of course, the words of the Sun God are not without exaggeration. The most typical point is that the Sun God did not consider that there is still room for improvement on both sides, or more accurately, on the side of the God of Law.
The Northern Spirit Empire has already conquered the Primordial Heaven. Although a considerable portion of the Primordial Divine Soul were taken by the Lord of Endless, the Divine Karma positions left behind after the Primordial God perished were occupied by the Northern Spirit Empire's Divine System. The God of Law was already just one step away from the Eternity Realm, and with these vacated Divine Karma positions as a foundation, it seems that ascending to the Eternity Realm is only a matter of time.
Once the God of Law ascends to Eternity, with the support of the Northern Spirit Empire's Power of Civilization and the addition of the Holy Grail of Origin, he will be able to unleash combat power at the level of Second-Step Eternity.
In this situation, even if the Lord of Endless enters the realm of Eternity, it remains to be seen who will prevail when facing the God of Law.
However, the God of Law also knew that if it came down to a contest of growth rate, once both sides reached the Eternity level, the Lord of Endless would likely accelerate his escape from him.
After all, his Endless Path seems to be a path of unprecedented perfection in the Astral Realm, and the power of the God of Law relies on the immense Power of Faith of the Northern Spirit Empire. However, the problem is that the size of the empire cannot expand exponentially in a short period of time, as that would also be harmful to the empire itself.
The expansion of civilization is always gradual, and it is impossible for it to make rapid, sudden progress in a short period of time like the rise of a powerful individual.
As a result, the attitude of the God of Law wavered to some extent.
The Sun God accurately grasped this point, and was slightly pleased. He pressed his advantage, saying, "For civilizations of our size, crossing the Chaos is not difficult. And the power that the Spirit Saint Domain has shown before was not particularly strong. Even if their time flow is a hundred times faster than ours, not much time has passed for us."
"In summary, by the time we arrive at the Spirit Saint Domain, only about ten thousand years will have passed there. Ten thousand years is but a fleeting moment compared to the vast scale of a realm. How much progress could they possibly have made?"
"As long as the two of us can hold off that Heavenly Emperor's Eternity battle power, amplified by the Power of the Domain, then our powerful troops and forces can easily conquer this realm. Without the support of the Power of the Domain, that so-called Heavenly Emperor is nothing more than an ordinary Peak Supreme God. Although he possesses many Miracle Creation, they are of no consequence to us; we can easily manipulate and destroy him."
"In this way, we can naturally take over the entire Spirit Saint Domain and obtain the method to purify Power of Faith. This is a huge benefit for both of us. With a massive amount of rapidly purified Power of Faith to support us, our growth rate will not be left behind by the Lord of Endless, and may even be faster than his."
"Furthermore, even without considering the Lord of Endless, we must strengthen ourselves. In this extremely turbulent situation, everyone is trying their best to make rapid progress and upgrade their combat power. We cannot be complacent. The greater the risk, the greater the reward. Going to the Chaos Sea is not a risk for us. At most, there may be some changes in the war, but it is still within our acceptable range."
After the Sun God presented the pros and cons, the God of Law finally swayed completely to the other side of the scales.
The God of Law himself represents the will of the Imperial Council, and his wisdom is also recognized by the elders of the Imperial Council. With the God of Law almost in favor, the Imperial Council is unlikely to encounter any major setbacks. In short, this matter can be considered settled.
Seeing the God of Law nod slightly to him, the Sun God felt quite pleased.
"Wait a moment, I need to report this situation to the Imperial Council. Although I agree with your words and the suggestion to form Chaos Allied Forces, the relevant decision-making power is not in my hands. I also need to accept the orders of the elders of the Imperial Council. Do you understand?" said the God of Law.
"Of course." The Sun God nodded readily, a smile on his face.
"Every civilization has its own operating system. I respect the political system of the Northern Spirit Empire and the wisdom of the elders of the Imperial Council. I will wait patiently."
In fact, the Sun God, who is very familiar with the power structure of the Northern Spirit Empire, has basically determined that there is a greater than 90% chance that the elders and senior members of the Imperial Council will agree to this plan.
Therefore, He wasn't too worried. In fact, just as the Sun God had predicted, not long after, the God of Law nodded to him again and said, "The elders of the Imperial Council have passed a wartime resolution, an emergency resolution, approving your proposal to form Chaos Allied Forces."
"Very well, I will have the God of Knowledge and the elders of your Imperial Council discuss the specific details of the Chaos Allied Forces's deployment." said the Sun God.
The God of Knowledge, as He speaks of him, is the Sun God's absolute confidant, serving as his advisor and strategist. His own strength has reached the level of Peak Supreme God, though his presence in the Divine Realm is not prominent, his status is undoubtedly at the very top of the pyramid.
After both sides agreed to the plan to form Chaos Allied Forces, they became temporary allies, and the atmosphere between them naturally became more harmonious.
"Speaking of which, once we make a move against the Spirit Saint Domain, the immense momentum that transcends chaos will not escape the notice of those who are interested, and the World Alliance will definitely step in to support the Spirit Saint Domain," said the Sun God.
The God of Law shook his head, showing little worry, and said, "Although the World Alliance is powerful and nearly invincible in defensive operations, its strength and weakness both lie in the World Tree Universe World Tree Universe. The flaws in its World System mean that even if the World Tree sends its Eternity Avatars to leave the Astral Realm and traverse the vast Chaos to support the Spirit Saint Domain, it won't be able to make much of a difference."
"We could even take this opportunity to kill His Eternity incarnation, which carries His Eternity will, in the chaos, and Destruction His Eternity will in the process. In this way, the World Tree will inevitably suffer a severe blow, and cracks will appear in the seemingly unbreakable World Tree Universe."
"I simply don't believe the World Tree would take such a huge risk to support the Spirit Saint Domain. Even if it were willing, its powerful subordinates, such as the Ancestral Tree of Life, would not agree."
The God of Law said coldly.
What He was referring to was a very real issue: whether or not one was willing to put their strongest fighting force and pillars in danger for the sake of allies. For the vast majority of forces, this was highly unlikely.
"What about the Lord of Endless? He wields the Four Swords of Immortal Slaying, which means he must have obtained Heavenly Emperor Emperor's approval to entrust such a powerful and Miracle Creation to another strong individual. This in itself represents absolute trust. The Lord of Endless Power possesses Eternity combat strength. If he were to support the Spirit Saint Domain, it would be extremely difficult to handle." When the Sun God spoke of Lancelot, a solemn expression began to appear in his eyes.
In truth, the Sun God was quite helpless at this moment. He really did not expect that this Lord of Endless could survive his attack unscathed, and even make great progress in strength, remaining lively and energetic, with his strength still improving at a visible rate.
The existence of such a terrifying monster had already made the Sun God somewhat uneasy, for even the Eternal were not entirely indestructible.
"Could it be because the Tide of Destruction is about to arrive, and the will of the Astral Realm sensed something, which is why such an 'abnormal' being as the Lord of Endless has suddenly appeared?" The Sun God even wondered.
When the God of Law heard the words "Lord of Endless," his eyes also stirred.
The God of Law, who had just fought the Lord of Endless, understood even more clearly what a magnificent and extraordinary being this was. The opponent seemed to be a celestial being born from the rules, born for cultivation, with talent so high that it was simply unbelievable, and seemingly without any bottlenecks, for he was truly exceptional.
Fortunately, the Lord of Endless has not yet reached his limit, so there are still ways to deal with him.
The God of Law glanced at the Sun God and said, "The Holy Grail of Origin of the Northern Spirit Empire possesses power from the very beginning of time—the power of origin. It can bring together two things of similar nature to achieve a closer connection, even resulting in a 1+1 greater than 2 outcome."
"Um??"
The Sun God was somewhat surprised by the God of Law's sudden and seemingly nonsensical words, but he knew that the God of Law would never speak nonsense, so there must be a deeper meaning behind these words.
Two things of similar nature, the Lord of Endless, the effect of 1+1 being greater than two... These thoughts swirled in the mind of the Sun God. Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck him, and he realized something.
"You mean the God of War..."
"That's right." The God of Law smiled. Dealing with intelligent people is so straightforward; they quickly understand your intentions.
Receiving confirmation, the Sun God's spirits lifted, and he began to ponder. He said, "The God of God of War, Dax, was originally a level above the normal Peak Supreme God, while the God of Warfare of the Northern Spirit Empire is also at the Peak Supreme God level, and is further Power of Faith. Under these circumstances, if the two temporarily merge into one under the influence of the Holy Grail of Origin's power, the resulting combat strength would definitely be enough to withstand the Lord of Endless, thus helping us restrain this guy."
"You understand correctly, that's exactly what I mean. In this way, we can lead our army out of the Astral Realm without worrying about the Lord of Endless harassing us from behind." The God of Law's smile grew even wider.
The two Eternity beings simply looked at each other and smiled, as if their previous struggles were Mirror Flower, Water Moon.
In reality, this is the norm among advanced civilizations: there are no permanent friends, only Eternity interests.
