Chapter 1704: Scolding And Nagging.
That last one is a dream that can\'t be realized in the near future. But presently, to destroy all the living things in his world will not only set him back in time and resources he took to create them.
It will also reduce the time it takes for him to acquire chaos essence. The death of every living thing will also affect Hadrikomania by weakening her, which will in turn weaken him.
He made up his mind and said to Hadrikomania, "Fine. We will take things easy. There\'s no rush anyway. Legion isn\'t ready to make a move against the first sage yet."
His fight with the first sage is still going to happen, even though he knows Soverick is a clone of Legion. Of course, the reason for the fight is for a more pragmatic reason. It won\'t be because he was forced to sell his descendant.
He is now fighting for the many resources that the first sage took from the serpentine world god and many other world gods. He is also fighting for the large amount of Cosmic energy in Legion\'s possession.
It is a tough order, so he knows he will need all the power he can get to fight an ancient world god, such as the first battle sage monkey, to become a world god.
He said to Hadrikomania, "But let the record show that I do not like patience. There are a lot of worthy foes out there. They might decide to pick a fight with me anytime."
She didn\'t feel the urgency he felt. Maybe it is because she lived most of her life as a tree.
Either way, she advised him seriously, "You will have to learn to be patient. We still have a long way to go. But you are right. We can be attacked at any moment. That\'s why I think it is a good idea to fortify your inner world too. The powerful creatures that we produce might be able to assist you."
"I know. I just don\'t want to lose all my work and have to start over again."
Hadrikomania sighed. "If not for the repercussions of losing, being the will of a world would be all fun and no work."
Hadrikomania would like to relax and have fun without worrying about anything. But, as she said to Ghaster, it is a must to fight. She has to fight, even if she doesn\'t want to because other world gods want to fight.
She doesn\'t have to go looking for a fight. It will come to find her. And the repercussion of losing is having to start over again as a world god.
Just thinking about it made her sigh again. "The path to power of a world god is already full of difficulties. They have to grow their inner world, their Supreme Law, and the living things in their world. They need resources, time, and careful tending to grow their world and the living things within it. They need Cosmic energy among other things, to grow their Supreme Law."
"They have to do all of these while preparing for attacks. Another world god might take a fancy to their world and would like to loot it to upgrade their own world. Or they might stumble upon a world eater. If any of those happen, they might lose their world and have to create another one."
She finished her thought with a lamentation, "I wish I knew all of these before I sighed up for this position."
Ghastorix reminded her, "Don\'t forget that becoming my Will of the realm granted you immortality. Plus, you had nowhere else to call home. You would have died had you remained in the high heaven realm."
She folded her arms, looked away from him and scoffed. "Some immortality you have. If it is so great, then we shouldn\'t be worried about any attacks."
Her behavior made Ghastorix laugh. He said, "This is exactly what I thought married life would be about. You scolding and nagging me to do better."
A smile tugged at her lips, but she didn\'t stop scolding him. "You leave me with all the work in the house and don\'t give me all the money I need to make it a great home for us."
He spread his arms and approached her with the best doting expression he could manage. "Come on, babe. I am working my ass off. I promise to get you all the Cosmic energy you need as soon as Legion attacks the first sage."
"Don\'t try to butter me up." She said this in a failed attempt to remain stern. But she was already smiling.
He hugged her and held her in his arms. "Everything will be okay, babe. We will be fine even if the worst thing that can happen happens."
He is not right, though. In a normal situation, the only thing that will follow a world god through death is their Supreme Law. That is more than enough, as it is all they need to start all over again.
That is also why world gods need to upgrade their Supreme Law. Unfortunately, Chaos essence can\'t do that. In fact, Chaos essence will do the opposite. They need Cosmic energy to make their Supreme Law more powerful and resilient.
It is more unfortunate that Cosmic energy is difficult to find. Sure, Cosmic energy can be found in stars, but stars are guarded by realm trees and the stars in the dark side of the void universe are dangerous. So the large amount of Cosmic energy that Legion is hording is very
tempting.
Ghastorix would have attacked Soverick for his Cosmic energy even if he were his true descendant. That\'s how serious his need for Cosmic energy is. He would have attacked Legion already if not for the world ender within them.
