Greed All For What Chapter 736
Situ was the prefered choice.[ … words ]

You can know that swimming through a lake of fire is bad, but you can never know just how bad it is until you experience it. Your bloodline also ensures that you will never know just how bad it is. It will make things easier for you. You won’t have to swim through a lake of fire to achieve what your ancestor achieved, so you will remain ignorant of what it feels like.
Salvini felt grateful for the advantage of her bloodline and the fact that she would remain ignorant of what it meant to swim through a lake of fire.
She thought to herself, “No one should complain about their bloodline without having the full knowledge of how that bloodline came to be. That’s just ungrateful.”
“My ancestor has done his part. And now, we also must do our part for the plane.” She said with steely determination.
She didn’t know what would happen by the end of the competition when she asked Soverick to join it. The competition was obscured in her future vision back then. But things started to become clear to her as the inevitable moment approached. Now she knows exactly what they will face, and she cannot help but be concerned.
In the past, she would have done her best and let whatever will happen to happen. But now she truly wishes for Victory over the Vipers. She wishes for victory just like her ancestor wished for victory on that day, and she also knows how bad things are for them, just like her ancestor did.
The first Sage faced a single transcendent and toiled over and over again for years to put him down. It is all because this single transcendent was a paragon. Their battle and fights occurred several times over a span of decades. Things were that difficult. But he succeeded at the end of the day.
The Vipers are back, and they are much stronger. They have 9 Emperors. The battle sage monkeys aren’t so helpless this time. They have a child of the plane, but will that be enough? Soverick will have to face off 9 paragons in this competition if they are to be victorious.
She became worried and spared Soverick a glance. He is nonchalant and absentminded. It’s like his mind is somewhere else. He didn’t look worried, and that calmed her down a little. She shouldn’t worry if Soverick is not worried. Then her fears began to rise when she realized that Soverick might not know what they are up against. He can’t see the future like she can. She reached over to him to speak with him.
“Hey, what do you think?” She asked him.
Soverick didn’t respond. His attention is somewhere else. He has laid his eyes on true power, and he can’t take his eyes away from it. The first time he gazed at such glory was when he was a mana entity in the divine dungeon. His mind froze over immediately as he gazed at the truth of mother high heaven’s existence. His mind would have exploded if he had not hurriedly looked away back then.
He has come a long way from that point. He can fully utilize the capacity of his mind, and more so, he can even look upon the law of order of the first Sage with impunity. Things would be easier if he could steal the false law of order. Unfortunately, he can’t take the law into himself since it is part of the core, so he has to copy it. That needs the full capacity of every mind of Legion. They have to stop whatever they are doing to concentrate on what his eyes are currently seeing.
He felt a tug within him while he was busy with the core. His connection to the plane is informing him of a mild agitation of its citizens. Some battle sage monkeys are being riled up. He knows why they are being riled up, so he isn’t worried. The will of the plane didn’t tell him it was urgent either. The hatred between the battle sage monkeys and the Vipers doesn’t concern the plane. In fact, the plane liked the Vipers more than it liked the ocular monkeys.
All the creatures that were born within a plane are the children of that plane. The will of the plane won’t choose a side during their conflict unless one race is actively damaging the plane. Then the will of the plane will decide to support the other race so that the offending race will be removed or stopped.
Every plane wants a very strong race that can defend it, and the Vipers were very good. They were practically a lesser version of dragons. They had similar control over mana with dragons and had larger mana pools. They were also immortal. And most importantly, they were not dragons. What more can a plane ask for? But some snotty monkeys that were discontent with the status quo started a rebellion and ruined everything.
The first Sage qualified to become the child of the plane because of his feats in holding back Situ for decades. But the Will of the plane didn’t appoint him then because what he was doing was actually bad for the plane. Situ was supposed to be the child of the plane if he didn’t become a god. Forming a connection with all the people on the plane would have made Situ almost unkillable and unrivaled.
Situ would be as powerful as an Origin god within the plane, and he wouldn’t be suppressed either. The first Sage came and ruined everything. The plane didn’t change her mind about him until he killed that dragon. Planes don’t like invaders normally, but they hate dragons even more.
Killing that dragon made the will of the plane reconsider the first Sage as the best choice for the child of the plane. After all, he has managed to defeat both the lesser version of a dragon and a real dragon. Plus, the Vipers were no more. What else could be better than the first Sage? Even then, the plane didn’t allow the first Sage to change the name of the plane.
AN: I hope you are looking forward to the clone of Legion that is a paragon.
