Chapter 733 - 261: Harvest_2
"The end of Egypt, and the largest piece of the puzzle, has also fallen into our hands," Laine mused.
"The Divine certainly acts decisively, moving everything towards the greatest benefit. Though it indeed is efficient, and the end results are also acceptable," he continued.
"As for the Egyptian gods... compared to the nearly extinct state of the Nine Realms, Chaos would probably accept them. Whether they can still be called ’gods’ is another matter entirely," he reflected.
Compared to most of Chaos’s nature gods, Egypt had an abundance of animal deities. But today’s Mortal Realm already has various similar animals, and it’s highly likely they won’t be able to continue their former roles.
With some luck, they might find a new path like Anubis; those with average luck might become nature spirits or totems possessing divinity and worshiped by others; the unlucky ones could be captured and enslaved by the locals.
After all, no matter how you look at it, they were deities from another world.
"These matters will be for Chaos to handle according to its rules, and they essentially have nothing to do with the current state of existence," Laine thought.
"Perhaps by the time they re-emerge in the world, transformed, the third epoch will have already ended," he speculated.
Contemplating in silence, Laine considered the matters of the Egyptian gods to be of little current importance. The only one worth his attention was probably Amon-Ra.
After all, although he had just briefly experienced the supreme strength of the Creation Domain with a drop of Creation Force, that power had been exhausted when Amon-Ra fled.
Laine could only judge based on experience that Amon-Ra possibly hadn’t died—as he himself said, the other party was difficult to kill. Discover exclusive content at NovelBin.Côm
Even with the assistance of Hemenu, Amon-Ra was a being who had truly reached the ultimate limits of a great domain, and even possessed traits of a higher domain. With enough sacrifice, he should still have a chance to survive.
After all, Chaos didn’t really possess Wisdom, or rather, if It were so intelligent, Laine would not have had the chance to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat.
"But regardless of whether he’s alive, he shouldn’t have the chance to disrupt my arrangements before the end of the third epoch," Laine concluded.
"So next, what the Spirit Realm really gained—"The Sun."’
Although consciousness integration had been severed at this time, Laine still remembered the sensation Hemenu’s Sun gave him.
Unlike Chaos’s split authorities of "Light" and "Fire," all these were part of Hemenu, the God of Sun.
Of course, all this was secondary. The most powerful aspect of the Sun actually lay in its ability to ’reborn’ and ’renew,’ even that was its most powerful trait.
In the entire culture, history, and mythology of Egypt, and even in the world itself, the transformation between life and death, the shift from existence to annihilation, was the most crucial part, and the Sun was its emblem.
Even now, within the Spirit Realm, the power of Death constantly acted upon the essence of the Sun, but for every part ’killed,’ another part was reborn.
It could be said that if one wished to absorb it this way, it would be a long and time-consuming epoch.
After all, Laine’s goal was not to eradicate it, but to make it a part of himself. Even Chaos took thousands of years to fully assimilate the remnants of the Nine Realms.
If Laine planned to resolve the issue with this ’dumb method,’ he would need even more time.
"If not through enduring the passage of time, then only an appropriate opportunity would suffice," Laine surmised.
"Just like the composition of the four Element interfaces, that was an opportunity for me to Digest Hemenu’s source power of earth, water, wind, and fire. Steps that would have taken decades or centuries to complete were refined in an instant, actually boosting my own strength," he realized.
During the entire second epoch, Laine had been in the process of ’absorbing source power’ and ’digesting source power.’ This also showed, although the eight of the Nine Pillar Gods were merely strong Divine Powers, without the right opportunity, their Origin was not so easily assimilated.
Fortunately, regarding the Sun’s issue, Laine had ideas from the moment he knew of Hemenu’s world’s existence. If all went well, a circle of a Great Sun was destined to rise in the world, though its process would likely defy everyone’s expectations.
"Indeed, and there was the Ancient Moon Origin that originally belonged to Thoth but was then replaced with a more fitting magic power by La," he remembered.
"As the foundational base-born of the Spirit Realm, the Moon cannot be overshadowed too much by the Sun," he resolved.
This power had no special digestion opportunity, but the Spirit Realm had changed since then and had grown stronger, and since it wasn’t that powerful to begin with, it should be digested quickly.
But according to Laine’s estimation, even with the addition of this Otherworld Moon, the concept of Chaos Moon was probably still far from matching the Sun.
The Great Day is the supreme ruler of the starry sky, and the Moon has always seemed to be its accessory.
Even with Hemenu’s Moon acquired once more, Laine didn’t believe that its authority could thus achieve a breakthrough, nor that a great domain Moon Goddess could emerge from it.
"Besides the Sun and Moon, the legacy that La left behind was the history he symbolized..."
"Considering the current situation, this world’s past will eventually become food for the ’Annals of Time,’ completing its transformation the moment it arrives at Chaos, reshaping it. And the millennia of civilization it has evolved will become nourishment for the ’Civilization Slate,’ likely even stronger than what the Faith Gods have done over the years." @@novelbin@@
"Compared to these, the Undead Book in La’s hands must step aside. Those two powerful divine authorities are indeed valuable but are actually only a slight advantage."
