Standing on his own balcony and gazing at the distant night sky, Chen Yu could not overlook Tokyo's nightscape as from the Tokyo Skytree, yet the scene before him seed even more majestic and grand.
As the world grew, its rules beca more complete, and these rules that constituted the world were increasingly closely interlinked, operating flawlessly like the most precise machinery, hidden deep within the world yet extending to every corner, invisible to both gods and n.
But as the unbreakable taboos were shattered, perfect and flawless rules began to stutter, revealing "gaps" that those who could peer into these rules could exploit.
Before Chen Yu now was a "net" woven from countless rules, which could also be understood as nurous closely interlocking "gears"; but at this mont, gaps had appeared between these "gears," which also erged from the depths of the world due to the vibrations.
These were the foundations of the world, the rules that allowed a world to be born and operate, each rule representing a potential god. So rules shone brightly, while others were dim, intertwining and influencing each other like a vast net or the roots of a great tree, spreading to every corner of the world.
This magnificent and grand sight is the most beautiful existence in this world, the ultimate embodint of order.
The only things comparable to it were the Endless Styx and the River of Ti spanning the Multiverse, and the final oblivion at the end of the world.
This certainly does not an that Chen Yu was so powerful as to be unaffected by the flow of information contained within the rules; rather, he shielded himself from this information, rely admiring the splendor of the rules themselves.
Of course, rules themselves are intangible and shapeless, omnipresent as they form and maintain the operation of a world, but to directly observe these rules is nearly impossible.
Because when one can directly observe the rules, the information contained within is enough to burst any brain, even that of deities, let alone to directly gaze upon the "net" made up of rules.
The terrifying volu of information could annihilate a deity in an instant.
Yet at this mont, Chen Yu could see the "net" composed of ubiquitous rules, witnessing this colossal beauty that spanned the skies and blanket the entire world.
Even so, if others could see this majestic sight, even without understanding the information contained in the rules themselves, rely by seeing this scenery, they could grasp the essence of the world and gain supre wisdom.
This is much like in cultivation novels where ordinary cultivators cannot grasp what the Saintly Way is, but if they could witness the Saints preaching, it would be an opportunity that could make them beco immortal on the spot.
And this was precisely Chen Yu's true purpose: to use the disturbances caused by breaking the taboo to make these rules erge from the world's deepest parts, creating an opportunity for him to achieve divinity.
This was why he had devoted so much effort and arranged so many asures to have Minami and Inomata Naoki et.
Because when the two of them t and their emotions changed, it was the mont when the boundary between life and death was broken, and with the boundary broken, the rules that sustained the world's operation naturally vibrated. Once vulnerabilities appeared, Chen Yu could snatch away the rules, rge with them, and beco an Ancient God that exists without reliance on faith.
This was different from his original plan but was more secure.
After all, according to Chen Yu's original plan, spreading plague in India to generate a widespread death and gathering the Power of Death and resentnt to pollute the Ganges River to stir the world's rules, he thought that the current approach had much less impact and attention than the forr.
Although both could potentially cause countless deaths, this current plan, with the cooperation of the Inari God, could minimize casualties.
Not that he regarded human life lightly, but Chen Yu did not wish to cause undue slaughter; excessive killing would ultimately affect him as well.
"However, this vibration is not strong enough. If this is the extent of it, at most I could only grasp the most superficial rules, rely weak Divine Power," comnted Chen Yu, evaluating the impact on the world's rules before him, shaking his head slightly.
Although the eting of Minami and Inomata Naoki did indeed affect the world's rules, the magnitude was still far from sufficient.
The current vibration of the world's rules was rely a minor disturbance caused by the disruption of the boundary between life and death. Although it caused the rules to erge from the underlying layers of the world, the world's rules themselves remained stable, and even if Chen Yu wanted to take action, he could only extract so very common or even weaker rules, unable to beco a powerful deity, with limited future potential.
After expending so much effort, Chen Yu desired not so weak rules; his goal was to at least beco an Interdiate God, with the potential to beco a powerful deity.
"Honey, what are you looking at?" While Chen Yu was contemplating how to make the world's rules vibrate more, Jounouchi Hiromi appeared behind him, asking with concern.
"Nothing much, just thinking about so things," Chen Yu replied with a slight shake of his head, wrapping his arms around his wife and leaning on the balcony, "Hiromi, tell , if we could beco deities, but at the cost of bringing disasters to the world, would you choose to beco divine or give up divinity for the peace of the world?"
"Beco divine? Why would you ask such a question?" Jounouchi Hiromi looked surprised at Chen Yu, but considering that he was already a Demigod, it made sense for him to ponder such things. After thinking for a mont, she answered, "It depends on the situation."
"Depends on the situation? What kind of answer is that?" Chen Yu was sowhat bemused, Jounouchi Hiromi's ambiguous answer left him unsure how to respond.
"Of course, it depends on the situation. If it's just minor disasters, like earthquakes and typhoons, shouldn't that be okay? As long as it doesn't cause a significant impact, I think I'd choose to beco divine," Jounouchi Hiromi explained nonchalantly; in her view, there was nothing particularly difficult to decide: "But if it involves killing many people or causing wars, then I would definitely refuse because I wouldn't want to cause so many deaths just for my personal gain."
"Really? So that ans, as long as there's a chance, you're willing to beco a deity?" Chen Yu understood his wife's choice.
