Chapter 1093: Chapter 34: "Pathway," "Messenger," and Roselle’s Secret Elixir

It’s a simple principle; even mortals reasonably evaluate risks, weighing the worthiness of an issue.

Let alone those high-level intelligences.

Whether it’s the King of Magic or the Primordial Machine God, neither can be easily manipulated like a soft persimmon, but rather they are different "cross-sections" of a prototype standing at the peak of divinity.

They are eternal existences that do not reside within the causality of this universe, projections of various forms in different temporal and spatial perspectives. Just like cutting a cone yields "cross-section" shapes that vary with the angle: a circle, an ellipse, or perhaps a parabolic or hyperbolic curve...

Because the power of the prototype is so vast, growing to an incredible degree as an all-divinity monster, grand like spanning the beginning and end of origins, and time and space can expand and contract at will, with all things revolving around its majestic power.

Thus, every divine entity that represents different "cross-sections" of the prototype naturally possesses great power or exists omnipotently... For instance, the King of Magic is the god mastering all magic, magic, and rune scripts, steering the deceit and trickery of myriad spells; whereas the Primordial Machine God transcends natural and conceptual levels of gigantism, using Chaos as an example, like Machine God Zeus, the Star Dominator, which is but one branch of its billions of authorities.

Therefore.

— If there’s only one such enemy, perhaps many old gods might cooperate tacitly to hunt together...

— But when there are two such enemies, even the risk of old gods cooperating to hunt does not significantly decrease...

Even if the hunt succeeds, some of them will inevitably suffer heavy damage because of it, and it is very possible that a lucky spectator might be dragged along on the journey... In such a situation, one naturally has to "rationally" reflect on whether daring such a thing, at the risk of a possible counterattack, is really worth it.

The answer is naturally obvious as well.

Clearly, on that insignificant planet, there is a gluttonous feast they’ve long awaited, and it’s about to begin. Furthermore, there seems to be no power capable of stopping them from consuming, only competition amongst each other...

— So why choose to take such a risk now, going against reason?

Naturally, it forms the current delicate and balanced situation. Gu Mo has somewhat joined the Starry Alliance, engaging with other old gods in both overt and covert struggles in outer space, while watching that insignificant planet, akin to being one among the many evil gods waiting for the performance to begin... Of course, he would never admit that himself.

After all, he is a warm-hearted person, definitely not out to destroy the world...

Ahem, well, it seems no old gods really come purely to destroy the world; they aren’t that bored.

They have traversed most of the universe, crossing endless light-years of spacetime, gathering in the Solar System from the Star Sea, naturally with more definite, important goals. Some aim to reclaim origin and properties that were once theirs, some seek to acquire origin and properties that are compatible with them, just... Their very existence is destructive, unrelated to anything else.

Moreover, even if they hold no particular notions towards humanity or Earth itself, in such scenarios, the planet and the beings on it have long become pawns on their battlefield. To gain an advantage, even if they cannot directly interfere with matters on Earth, the old gods always harbor indirect means of exerting energy, and the proxy wars have long unfolded upon the planet.

The magician pondered, silently observing the externally simulated, seemingly eternal fierce battlefield.

Outside the porthole was indeed a simulated holographic image, showing countless fireworks blooming silently in the pitch-black space, each a massive energy explosion signifying the downfall of countless warships or demon hordes, tons of alloy fragments, flesh organizations unable to even fall, torn apart into fundamental particles.

Fallen Mother Goddess...

The dominator of all negative forces in the entire universe, the mother of all spiritual powers, occupying the Moon and embodying the Original Moon symbolizing the Crimson Moon.

It can only be said to be worthy of the "original" direct nurturing and creation, situated at the pinnacle of all former days as one of the three pillars, even if the origin and properties are torn apart, the symbol of the pillar remains, standing atop all Outer Gods. In the struggle for control of Roselle, over a century, Gu Mo has fought several times, clearly knowing how powerful the opposing side is.

The rules of this world are crazy and twisted, and the power of high-level existences also appears mysterious and inexplicable.

In the lowest layer of code, it is determined that authority and symbolism are more important, and this group of permission mongers exemplifies this well. Their troublesome aspect is connecting with the infinite realm of the universe, which means all rules of this universe can be "programmed" by their management permissions, embodying the universe’s operating power.

Just like the Fallen Mother Goddess, who is the dominator of all negative forces in the entire universe, after her origin was torn, the birth of life and negative energy across the universe also affected, causing certain anomalies.
