GREED: ALL FOR WHAT?

Mother High Heaven agreed. "Exactly. The Supreme Law is just a stick. It is a long and powerful stick. You can use that stick to run a world engine, or you can wave it about however you want. But unless you create a world by fusing a world seed and a world engine with your Origin, then your Supreme Law will remain a stick. You can break a boulder with your stick, while a world god can lift a world bigger than his own with his lever."

She produced the image of a lever system to buttress her point. The Supreme Law acted as the lever, while the world of a world god functioned as the input. The lever amplified the input to create a stronger output.

She finished her display with a final explanation, "So possession of a Supreme Law does not make one a world god, nor does the possession of an inner world. Only through the combined effort of the two can one possess the power of a world god."

Helios said in understanding, "So that's why world beasts don't have the power of world gods or even the power of a Supreme Origin god. That explains a lot."

"Yes. World beasts don't have the Supreme Law and the Origin fusion needed to leverage their inner worlds. The analogy of a lever is apt because the leveraging power is dependent on the length of the lever and the size of the world."

Helios said solemnly, "I think I should fear world gods more."

Mother High Heaven chuckled, "You should. That's just common sense."

But then Legion-1 realized something, so Helios asked, "Does that mean a world god that has somehow lost their world will be easy to kill?"

"Yes. A world god without a world would have lost the bulk of their power. But how is that relevant to you? How can you possibly destroy the world of a world god when you can't fight the world god?"

She chuckled after her series of questions and said, "Maybe if you stumble upon a world god without a world, you might have a chance against them."

Helios asked, "What if, say, the world god just fought a powerful enemy such as a world ender? That should make them vulnerable, right?"

Mother High Heaven didn't chuckle or laugh in derision. She became solemn, but she played along. "If a world god is made vulnerable by a world ender, chances are that being around that world god is bad for you too. No one should mess with a world ender even if they don't see them directly. You shouldn't even come into contact with something a world ender has come into contact with."

Helios agreed with her, "Yes, yes. A world ender is dangerous. Of course, I know that. If it can make a world god miserable, then it can make me worse. But, theoretically, and I am only making theories here. I do not plan to act on it. Theoretically, a world ender can weaken a world god enough for an Origin god to kill them."

"Theoretically, you will need to be a Supreme Origin god to take advantage of a weakened world god. But that Supreme Origin god also has to be prepared to die because of the world ender."

"Hmmm. That makes sense. But the void universe will resurrect them, right?"

Mother High Heaven snorted, "Right."

Helios would have clapped if it were possible. But he didn't have hands, so he settled for thanking Mother High Heaven.

"Thank you for your service. Legion truly appreciates it."

"You are welcome."

"Is that all?" He asked.

"No. I didn't come here for just you. Legion as a whole has more business with me. The next issue is with the one you call the Tree Father, or is it Legion-9?"

"What about him?"

"I must say that this is the first time I am doing this since no Celestial has reached his stage in the history of the realm."

Helios was surprised. Then he and the other Legions became elated.

He asked in disbelief, "There's a step ahead for Celestials too? But I thought the path of divinity was a dead end."

"There is a future for Celestials. The path of divinity is not a mistake, and it serves a purpose. People think there is no future simply because no Celestial has ever reached that stage."

"The stage I am talking about is the Authority level of 10. It is the same as demons. Most Celestials haven't reached that stage because of the difficulty of adding domains to their identity without receiving backlash from their clergy and believers."

Helios was confused, "But the Tree Father hasn't reached that stage."

Mother High Heaven snorted before she answered. "Your Celestial clone took a shortcut. He has technically accumulated more than 10 domains. It counts even though he has them in different avatars. So he has met the requirements for me to inform him of the future path."

"Please go ahead."

"The next step for him is called the divine spark. It needs to be created by fusing all the domains he has with him. I don't know how he will do that, seeing as they are in different avatars and in different planes, but if he manages to do that, then he will become a divine spark, the equivalent of demon gods."

"That sounds familiar."

"It is familiar because you used something similar to bait a demon god."

That brought back memories. Helios exclaimed, "Ohhh. So world sparks are similar to divine sparks."

"Yes, they are. Normally, divine sparks are meant to be consumed by demon gods to become world-enders, just as demon kings consume Celestials to grow stronger. In the absence of divine sparks, they use world sparks."

Helios realized something else. He remembered that Legion-7 is equivalent to a world spark or a Supreme Law. Legion-5 was able to use him as a substitute for a Supreme law. That's because Legion-7 is a spark of consciousness. If a divine spark is also equivalent to a world spark, what else does that make the Tree Father?
