GREED: ALL FOR WHAT?

The pot has reached its limit, so the soil is removed from the pot and tempered. The pot is also smashed, and liquid is added to it for it to become malleable. The remnants of the pot and the tempered pot are then combined and remolded to form a superior vessel.

This process is the breakthrough to transcendence. Some potted soils fail this process. Some succeed. The result is a malleable vessel capable of expanding.

It is a vessel with both the properties of rigidity from the pot and the ability to be increased that the soil possesses. In doing so, a previously untapped potential is accessed. But they have also lost the ability to grow larger by imbibing mana.

Fortunately for those who succeeded, the potential they awakened allows the pot to evolve by copying the world around it. After all, if the world is stronger and is capable of making it stronger, why not become the world? This plan turns out to be correct. For those that succeed in mimicking the world enough for the world to be fooled, some of the prized energy of the world is diverted to them.

That is the process of transcendence to the king of law. It is essentially deceiving the world for cosmic energy from the world. The soil changes itself to fit the strong things it can sense in the world. It takes on some of the properties of these strong things and can even control them.

The idea to copy the world is good, but it has a limit. There's only so much that the world is willing to give up, no matter how well they deceive it. This limit cannot be broken unless the superficial changes to the soil are deepened. So the soil tries to form a seed with the prized energy of the world.

The soil gives up part of its power and essence to form a seed. This seed is the closest thing to the world that they can ever make because it has the prized energy of the world. Some soils fail to form this seed. It could be because they don't know what a seed is or they don't know how to form seeds or they try to form one too big for them. They lose the power and essence they sacrificed, and they die.

Some succeed in forming this seed, and they grow stronger for it because they have taken another step toward being similar to the world. They can control some part of the power of the world around them. But their troubles are not over yet. They have to make the seed grow, or it will die within them.

The prized energy within the seed wants to return to the world. The problem is that while the seed is a part of them, it is modeled after the world, and they can't control the prized energy, so they can't control it very well. If they don't become innately familiar with how the seed works enough to fool the seed into thinking they are the world, then they will never control it, and it will die.

Some succeed in taking control of the seed. They are able to stop the seed from dying. The others who failed to control the seed die, just like the ones who failed to form their seeds in the first place. For those who succeeded, the next step is becoming one with the seed.

Unfortunately, the prized energy is not of the same material as the soil. There is a difference in quality. They can't force the fusion. If they could, then they wouldn't need to fool the seed in the first place. So instead, the soil tries to become the seed.

It is as they say, if you can't beat them, you should join them. So the soil finds fertilizer. Its job is to make the seed grow. The seed is fed the fertilizer, and it germinates. But in doing so, it has to take part of the soil with it. In this way, the soil and the seed become one.

The root of the seed permeates the entire soil, and the soil enters the sapling to fuel its growth. More and more fertilizer is applied to the sapling through concepts forged from Origin essence. The seed grows into a sapling and, finally, into a mature tree. Then it is time for the tree to produce a fruit.

All of these were displayed in the mental image she projected. It gave him a newfound perspective of what the path of perfection looks like to the Will of the realm.

He thought idly to himself, "How do the wills of the realm grow stronger?"

Mother High Heaven continued with her explanation, "You are an adult tree now. To make your Supreme Law, you must use all the concepts that you used to grow your initial seed to form the fruit. So you are limited by the type of fertilizer that you used in the growth period."

Helios understands what she means by the limit of the fertilizer. While an Origin god can create as many concepts as possible to grow their sapling, they are limited to concepts that contain at least one similar law to the laws of their initial concept, which they fused with.

This is because concepts reject each other. Even concepts created by the same entity will reject each other. The rejection is automatic when concepts interact with each other. They try to manifest over the other concepts. Only in situations where they are created by the same entity and have some laws in common can concepts be made to empower each other.

Even then, the empowerment between concepts is a sacrifice. One concept is sacrificed to grow the main one. An Origin god can't use two concepts. Even Supreme Beasts with many divine abilities have to fuse them all into one before they become Origin gods, or they will lose the divine ability.

So Origin gods with a 6-law concept will have the choice of six different laws that must be in each concept that they make. The many options mean that they can grow their concept faster.
