Chapter 1882: Chapter 1878: Overly Flexible Bottom Line (Two-in-One)
Originally, becoming a Deity is a long process of accumulation.
It is an immortal existence that embraces the World’s Reason, a conglomerate of “contamination” ordered, an individual striving to retain humanity, a product of continuous evolution.
In this process, It not only needs to collect “power” but also collect “Order.”
Various extraordinary knowledge is ordered contamination, as well as the steel frame building this skyscraper.
To be higher and stronger without collapsing, naturally, one must lay a solid foundation.
The Ark of the Order Divine Kingdom takes a shortcut, filling the individual with external “investment,” abandoning humanity for stability, similar to not stacking buildings but piling cement pillars for weight.
Although with endless future troubles… to reach that point is to become an immortal existence, with no need to consider the very distant future.
However, each world’s rules are somewhat different, and the standards for Deity and methods of evolution differ too.
In this new world, beings above the eighth-tier can call themselves Gods; rules are seen as weaker, immature World’s Reason. Contacting a seventh-tier and above existence of “World Rules” allows it to be used as a Deity.
In such an environment, their growth becomes extremely easy.
“The once hard-fought God’s Keystone, Authority, is laid bare in the environment, how could growth not be fast…”
Lu Ping’an had several lucky encounters, but two were the most critical.
The first was at the beginning when he inherited Chris’s God’s Keystone, the Courtyard, which was the materialization of the “World’s Reason,” the legacy of a higher existence.
His wish, favored by the world, burst into light at that initial moment, reversing Chris’s World’s Reason and forming his own “Life Value” World’s Reason, marking his beginning.
The second was with the World Fragments of Mercury 42, the Authority stripped from the world, embodying the materialization of the World’s Reason reaching new heights.
If the World’s Reason is a “proposal,” often hundreds or thousands are required to become a World Authority level existence, with the world’s strict scrutiny, a crude proposal has little chance of passing… World Fragments are that “laws” which have not only passed but have been polished and perfected over countless ages, gaining genuine recognition from the people, a universal “truth” usable anywhere once in hand.
Originally, it would take Lu Ping’an at least decades to reach the eighth-tier and fully control his World’s Reason.
But upon consuming those World Fragments, it forcibly turned his imperfect “World Foundation” into a “Real World,” surpassing most ordinary Deities in those foundational aspects.
It doesn’t just raise the immediate situation and level, but also raises the ceiling and explosive force; the power of a “mature law” cannot be compared to a “draft proposal,” the key is needing time for refinement, and what Lu lacks most is time.
It can be said that consuming those fragments saved him potentially a hundred years of accumulation… even accumulating for so long doesn’t guarantee the acquisition of the “Supreme Divine Authority.”
“These Rule Environments, although not World Fragments, provide gains almost indistinguishable if matched with a suitable user…”
At the world’s end of destruction, the essence of the world crumbles, and only then could these treasures, the World Foundation, possibly flow out.
Originally, these Rule Environments, as their name suggests, are “greenhouses” incubating “Rule-Level Lifeforms,” fixed “public facilities” on the ground.
They link to the world’s roots; when the world is stable, separation is impossible.
But now, World Authority has struck crack after crack, and these “treasures” locked to the world naturally loosened.
This is also the direct cause of Twilight of the Gods level wars… it’s an opportunity for everyone, but also everyone’s nightmare.
“Every lord has more or less some Rule Environments and fears attracting man-eating sharks…”
These are treasures, but not instant and usable; like when Lu Ping’an fused world fragments of matching attributes, to extract and merge these Rule Environments requires not only compatibility but also a lot of time and effort, which will also cause evident geological disaster-level environmental changes.
Just like when Zhuzhu absorbed those “swamps,” poisonous mists and underground venomous insects and other disasters emerged.
You are pulling up the world’s foundation; naturally, it instinctively resists or even retaliates.
Lu Ping’an estimated, in this world where the essence has fused with it, one might face the world’s hostility… but, this won’t stop the greedy wolf pack; They only wish to survive better, and don’t speak to them about the long term.
These precious assets are undoubtedly consumed one by one.
Lu Ping’an appointed a number of Demigods to guard the surrounding areas… in effect, also letting them hastily steal bites, quickly digest some “Rule Environment.”
Lu Ping’an’s main body doesn’t anxiously plunder, not even breaking his peace principles.
It’s not that he’s noble, but because there are indeed no Rule Environments around him that match well, and unlike those urgent plunderers, with fusion experience, he knows that “Fusion Authority” cannot be forced; if the compatibility isn’t enough, it simply isn’t, and even as a “Big Stomach King,” it’s unlikely to fully digest a Rule Environment.
