Soverick oversaw the entire brainstorming process. His eyes and mind created the links between them. He charted possible outcos and determined the feasibility of the plans.
Soverick's eye lit up suddenly. He got an idea which he made known to every one of them imdiately.
"I have a way to make the kickstart engine work. It can work without the danger of the first sage and can work more than once. It will also make the law matrix that we create more compatible with the shards of power."
They all thought seriously about it and tried to work out the kinks in the plan. It is a serious thing if Soverick makes a suggestion. He will only do so when there's a feasible plan for them to work with. That ans the ntal structure is completed. Now they must consider whether to accept or reject the suggestion. It is a decision that they will make after ironing out the details.
But they soon realized sothing unavoidable.
Legion-1 said to them, "It seems we must be willing to make a sacrifice. This plan is too risky. It is likely that we will lose everything so it is best that we decide now to lose sothing to avoid total loss."
It was their turn to state the obvious so they stated the obvious imdiately, "Let's do it."
All of them agreed. The idea might not work. The kickstart engine might collapse and they might risk themselves in vain. But they will take the risk. It is because the outco, if successful is too good to pass off. There is no reward without risk and anything good is worth fighting for.
Sure they can hold off until Legion-1 acquires his supre law. But that will take ti. Probably 3 origin cycles or more. And that's with the assistance of all of them.
Even the realm lord took about 100 origin cycles before he had his own supre law. That's just the public information. It could be less than that. The point remains that 3 origin cycles is already mind-boggling fast. But 3 origin cycles is not nearly enough.
The era of conquest is coming. It can be announced at any ti now. They can't be found wanting when it does happen. They need power that can match the strongest origin gods. This power has to be the equal of acquiring a supre law. So if they have to make so sacrifices to shorten that ti, then they will.

While Legion sched and planned, the plane has gone to shit. Things have beco so chaotic that everyone is just attacking whoever they lay their eyes on. There are no friends whatsoever and there are no allies.
Everyone might as well be in a free-for-all battle royal. Vampires, wood elves, and ghouls are attacking each other without restraint while the Warrogs and the other races suffer in between.
The major reason for the chaos is the rampage of the ghouls. Their numbers have swelled in quantity recently. This is all thanks to Rinoz. The population of the ghouls expanded exponentially as Rinoz led them to destroy more and more elven cities on the surface.
Ghouls reproduce through bites. They bit the wood elves and shared the directives of the law of order with them. A single bite is capable of turning a weak mortal into a ghoul with the power of a Sovereign.
It is a large amount of power and a mind-boggling progress too but people aren't lining up to get bitten. The price for that power is too much to pay. It makes CARNAGE's offer more humane. At least vampires get a facade of free will.
The rampage of the ghouls continued for a long period of ti until the second white ghoul found who it had locked on. The fountain of life had done its best to resist. But it seems its best is not good enough to keep a white ghoul away from it forever.
The fountain of life couldn't hide anymore. The world shook that day and the majesty of the fountain of life was finally revealed.
It all started with an earth-shaking roar. The earth first shook. It rocked back and forth like a cradle. Then it split apart.
A deep crack appeared in the plane. This crack traversed the entire north of the plane. The north is cold and icy so it quickly gave way. The roar from deep within the earth then erupted from the crack. It caused ice and earth to erupt outwards.
The eruption in the earth was not volcanic but it was dangerous nonetheless. Ice scattered all over the plane. These are huge chunks of ice and not small hail stones. They might as well be teors of ice slamming into the earth and wrecking devastation all over the plane.
Storm clouds also appeared in the sky. They are not made of ash but snow-laden clouds. The little light that managed to get past the demon god was blocked out. The plane was thrown into total and complete darkness. The day beca completely indistinguishable from night.
A sinkhole began to form in the north. It started from the point of eruption and spread outwards. It was as if there was a giant cavern in the ground. Earth and ice fell into this giant cavern in the ground. The entire north and so of its surroundings were swallowed up.
It was amid all this darkness and destruction that a fantastic beast erged from the sinkhole ford by the eruption. It rose from the ground and spread its wings like a majestic creature.
The fountain of life bestowed the world with the glory of its presence after so long of being deprived of the privilege. It is a terrific beast of cataclysmic proportions.
Rinoz saw it and her eyes widened in awe. "It must be at least 20 kiloters in length." She said.
This is the first ti that she is seeing the fountain of life and she couldn't help but be impressed. She can see the fountain of life like most of the things still living on the plane. Almost everyone in the plane can see it because it is so large and so high up in the sky.
