Chapter 128: Chapter 98: All Three
Thus, having understood the nature of the Divine King’s power, Laine boldly made a prediction.
In the present world that only possessed instinct devoid of wisdom, it would select those recognized by the gods or those who had rendered ritorious deeds to beco the Divine King. But what about the Abyss that lacked personification?
Among the gods, the first-born Primordial Gods were the mightiest. So, in the Abyss devoid of any trace of life, the divinity that first ca into being would certainly not be inferior.
Shedding everything from the past, stepping into the Abyss in his purest form, embracing chaos and disorder, he would beco the first deity of this place. Cronus would thus gain new power and, as the ‘Bringer of Life and Change to the Abyss,’ would beco the ‘king’ of Tartarus, just like the Heavenly Father Uranus—not granted by man, but bestowed by ‘heaven’ itself.
It was under such words that Laine’s plan ultimately swayed Cronus. Compared to the heavily constrained present world, becoming the first god and an eternal monarch of the Abyss was not at all a worse choice. Therefore, under the joint witness of the Spirit Realm and the power of the Divine King, the two parties reached this agreent, and thus today’s events unfolded.
Even today, Cronus still rembered those words Laine had said to him, which seed to foretell destiny itself.
“…Three tis you will gestate, three tis you will be reborn. At the juncture where two eras transition, spanning three ages, you will once again co into this world… The Abyss is the final destiny of your fate, just as the earth is the final destiny for you and your brothers. But once you cleanse the past, everything can begin anew.”
“This ti, you will reign over the world in the na of the master of the Bottomless Abyss, and with Tartarus’ refuge, fate can no longer easily sway you.”
“Seek vengeance against the present world, against your children, and of course, you can choose to seek vengeance against as well.”
At the ti, Laine’s seemingly indifferent words were filled with profound temptation. The forr Divine King had to believe again that language indeed possessed magic power; hence, in the end, he let go of the past and chose to be here.
However, at this mont, sothing unexpected arose in the original plan, but the result seed to be even better.
“So, what exactly is your good news, and what does it have to do with the creation of a new world?”
No one could keep their cool during such a critical mont. Laine’s earlier predictions had already satisfied him imnsely, but now there seed to be an even better outco, and Cronus could hardly contain himself.
With a slight smile, at this juncture, Laine had no desire to keep teasing.
“The specifics are quite complicated, but to put it simply, do you rember what happened when Themis was establishing the laws?”
“I do,” Cronus nodded thoughtfully: “She redefined order for the present world and then expelled the residual chaos from between the laws—so you’re saying?”
“Exactly,” Laine confird at his side: “Just as the purest chaos is mixed in the present world, pure order also lingers in the Abyss.”
“Because of the gestation of the first deity, the laws within Tartarus are extrely active. The part that represents order has been instinctively expelled and mixed with so of the primitive powers lingering from the creation, which is the good news I was talking about.”
“First let the Abyss assimilate you, then take over this force rejected by It as ‘one of Its own.’ By that ti, you will not only be able to create a realm with it but can also establish a connection with the Abyss, a symbiotic, mutual devouring connection.”
“What a pity,” he lanted in the end: “Such opportunities are fleeting, and I can’t abandon everything to embrace the Abyss in my purest form as you will. Otherwise, I would be quite tempted by this opportunity myself.”
“Hu—”
“Then I am rather lucky… Hahahaha—”
Unable to hold back, he finally laughed. Perhaps the ups and downs of this period had exerted a great psychological burden on the forr Divine King.
An uncontrollable joy surged in Cronus’s heart; he had not expected to have such an opportunity. Creating a realm, becoming the World Master was indeed a way to aspire to reach Great Divine Power. For a mont, he felt that all the sacrifices he had made before were worth it.
“Hmm, your luck is indeed not bad, so do you have any experience with creating worlds?”
“Moreover, after being assimilated by the Abyss, it’s likely difficult for you to complete the task of taking that ‘order’ and then betraying It, all on your own.”
Laine glanced at Cronus, who had co to his senses, and didn’t tease him further. Although he indeed intended to have a share in the new world, he did not plan to devote much effort to this matter in the future.
He would be more invested in the Spirit Realm, and this new world situated in the Abyss would partly rely on Cronus’s own managent. On the other hand, Laine was also prepared to let other beings co to ‘work.’
“I can give you this power, allowing you the strength to resist It after being transford by the Abyss. I’ll use the origin of this avatar of mine.”
“However, in the future world, I will also have my share. Not much, I only want thirty percent.”
Just thirty percent, which was the result of careful deliberation.
If he asked for too much, then either Cronus would devote all his energy to dealing with Laine, or he might choose to let things take their own course. After all, if he did not hold the main control, striving would be aningless.
If too little, Laine felt it would also cause trouble, as it would lessen many of the forr Divine King’s cares. He might even think of how to cut ties with Laine, even if it would deal a severe blow to the newborn world.
Thirty percent was just right, neither too much nor too little, and suited Laine’s intentions perfectly.
“…Thirty percent, agreed. But aren’t you afraid that one day I will surpass you?”
Calm down and after so thought, Cronus agreed as expected but still probed with his words.
“Heh, if with the result of your ‘work’ I hold thirty percent, and you can still surpass , then it would be deserved.”
Shaking his head slightly, Laine had no intention of elaborating further with Cronus.
It was better to leave him with so hope, and it wasn’t really deceit. After all, in the eyes of the Divine King, the Spirit Realm only represented the path leading directly to Great Divine Power, as well as freedom beyond the control of the present world.
These things, after Cronus had created a new world, would also be within his grasp.
At the side, although he didn’t know what ‘working’ ant, the forr Divine King still understood the implication. He simply nodded and then urged:
“Then let’s hurry. I rember you said that taking action at the ti of an era’s transition often cos with considerable aid.”
“And my ‘sister,’ who was lost here, I haven’t seen her for a long ti either.”
“Let’s go then.”
Nodding, Laine did not delay and led the way forward.
