GREED: ALL FOR WHAT?

The fact that the Tree Father possesses this ability made Legion adamant that divinity has to be useful to them. They decided to work together to figure out its use.

The Tree Father said, "If we are right and divinity is so powerful and important, it becomes clear that the gods were trying to do something they couldn't do before. They were trying to use energy to grow stronger. This is something that is not possible for transcendents after reaching the 100,000 stat limit so they used a shortcut."

Legion-5 asked, "They took a short cut with repercussions that have been alleviated. But what's so good about divinity now? It is almost indestructible, but so is Cosmic energy."

Helios said with a sigh, "Unfortunately, Mother High Heaven didn't tell us that. We have to figure this out on our own."

Now the Tree Father has recovered his connection to his Origin. That means he has become capable of refining more than just the power of belief into divinity. He can refine most kinds of energy, including origin energy and mana, into divinity.

They tried all of these energies and confirmed that they could produce divinity, but they couldn't find out what it could do. They were testing its use when they were distracted by another thing.

They found out that the Tree Father is not limited to fusing mana with faith in the creation of divine energy either, so the Tree Father, who was already capable of fusing life essence with divine energy, can fuse life essence and Origin energy to create immortal essence.

With immortal essence, anyone who takes it will gain eternal life, while Origin gods can use it as a substitute for Origin essence to grow stronger. They don't even need concepts to fuse the immortal essence into themselves. They can take it directly.

Just like divinity, immortal essence is not that useful to them. If not for the fact that it is better at healing than divine life energy, then they it would be another thing they couldn't use.

They eventually returned to the topic of divinity, and they found something useful about it. They found out that not only can it make living things stronger, it can even make non-living things stronger too. They were able to use it to elevate a low grade Origin artifact into a top grade.

Legion-1 said in awe, "This changes everything."

Helios wasn't so convinced. He said, "It changes nothing. A top grade artifact is useless to us. I can burn it without trying."

Soverick asked, "What if divinity can upgrade everything? Where does its limits lie?"

Aeternus was skeptical about that conjecture. He shook his head and said, "That can't be possible. There has to be a limit somewhere. We are perfect examples of those limits. The top grade artifact is another one."

Divinity is clearly multi-purpose, but they have reached the limit of power without a Supreme Law and with a Supreme Law. Cosmic energy made sure of that. Now divinity cannot upgrade them.

There's also the top grade artifact. It stopped taking in divinity after reaching its limits. This shows that despite its wide range of usefulness, it has a limit where it becomes useless.

Soverick asked, "What if we use it on something without a limit?"

He didn't wait for an answer. He was already parsing the future possibilities. His eyes flashed as the possible outcomes of fusing divinity with other objects came into view.

He didn't have enough information about it in the past, so he didn't consider it, and it didn't show up in his future. Now that he has confirmed a conjecture about the universal usefulness of divinity, the sky is the limit.

His eyes soon found some credible possibilities. He said, "Inner world and universal artifacts."

They didn't argue with him. They set out to confirm the possibilities by infusing divinity into Legion-1's inner world and the soul sphere.

In the past, the inner world of the world beast has grown stronger because of the enhancement of the Authority of the Celestial Supreme with Cosmic energy. The enhancement was passive as they couldn't control Cosmic energy.

That enhancement has disappeared now that the divine kingdom of the Tree Father and the Authority of Celestial Supreme have all fused with him. It also means that they will be able to tell without bias that any enhancement that takes place now is due to divinity and not its interaction with anything else.

As for the soul sphere, they chose it for this experiment because they could afford to lose it. It is unlike the crown of dominion that they can't replace right now.

Their experiment bore fruit. It came with good news and bad news. The good news is that the two of them could be upgraded successfully with divinity. At the very least, they assimilated the divinity without issues. The inner world became stronger while the channel between the soul spheres became wider.

The bad news is that the stronger inner world is of no use to them now. It won't be useful until they become world gods. As for the soul sphere, a wider channel is also not useful to them.

However, Soverick postulated that it could achieve qualitative growth that would be useful to them if they continue to feed it divinity. Unfortunately, they don't know the amount needed to achieve this qualitative improvement. It could cost them enough energy to create a world.

Despite all of this Legion-1 was still ecstatic. He said, "The world world gods is dependent on the power of their Origin. Theoritically, it can be infinite. But no one can achieve it. They thereby limit their potential when they become world gods. But we can increase its potential with divinity. Do you know what this means?"

Soverick knew what it meant, so he said, "Maybe that's one of the reasons the void universe needs Archons for. To create divinity and expand it."

Legion-1 didn't like his answer, so he said what he had in mind, "It means we can create a world that is limitless. We can create a world that rivals the void universe in size. Imagine that."
