Chapter 1386: Chapter 907: The Gift of the Soul_2

He is a "greedy" man!

He longs to trade the smallest sacrifice for the greatest success.

Though for a Leader who bears the fate of a world, this pursuit of a "perfect ending" seems overly idealistic, even insufficiently rational.

Yet this is precisely the conviction in his heart; it is the source of his Power.

Those tragic destinies he once witnessed and strove to change, those smiles and lives he wished to protect...

He came for that "perfect, all‑fulfilled ending" and nothing less.

This is his absolute, absolute, unshakable goal.

So, for only ten thousand, a hundred thousand Lives to survive?

Absolutely unacceptable.

To merely "linger on in wretched survival" is, to him, failure.

A failure occurring under the efforts of the present stage.

As Kana’s words rang out, solid as cast iron striking stone, the great hall instantly sank into an even deeper silence, as though even space itself had solidified.

The air seemed to grow heavy.

At his side, Chronos, Talia, and Luminar all involuntarily, in perfect unison, turned their heads toward Kana.

When Kana spat out those words with such irrevocable certainty, that indomitable will erupting from the depths of his soul—and the absolute confidence in his own path hidden behind that will—

appeared to Chronos and the others as something tinged with "arrogance" and "pride," a feeling they perceived with utmost clarity.

It was not bluster, not a blind slogan—he truly, from his heart, believed this.

Even after wandering the Star Realm, learning the terror of the Void and the tragic destinies of worlds past, he still stubbornly, obsessively clung to this seemingly impossible idea.

He believes that he is capable, and must, lead his world through that annihilating Void catastrophe in a better posture and at a smaller cost.

For Chronos and Luminar, who have personally witnessed countless worlds struggle in the Void, collapse, and finally turn to dust,

this belief of Kana’s, set against the cruel reality of the Star Realm, appears particularly... arrogant.

Especially when Kana radiates such powerful, unquestionable steadfast will, this sense of "arrogance" is magnified all the more.

"Hahahahahaha——!!!"

At that moment, a bold and sonorous laugh, brimming with exultant joy, suddenly burst forth, detonating in the silent great hall like thunderclaps.

The laughter was so loud, so unrestrained, that it not only resounded through the entire hall, but spread outward like tangible sound waves, stirring the Divine Domain’s energy into resonance and Vibration.

The temple’s pillars seemed to hum, while the starlight on the dome flowed and quickened.

The Divine King... was excited!

The pure emotional surge of Great Divine Power instantly infected the whole Divine Domain, so that even the very origin of the Titan World seemed to feel this ardent joy.

On the main plane, all Lives involuntarily lifted their heads, gazing toward the Divine Domain, their hearts filled with inexplicable delight and trembling.

Seeds buried deep beneath the earth, as if prodded by an invisible impulse, impatiently pushed aside the soil, probing out tender green shoots that unfurled toward the sky.

The whole world "came alive" in the Divine King’s joy, thriving luxuriantly.

"Good! Good! Good!"

The Divine King uttered three goods in succession, his voice shaking the cosmos. He leaned forward slightly from the divine throne, eyes blazing with radiance like a star.

"What a proud youngster! Worthy indeed of being acknowledged by the Star Realm’s will and crowned with the title of ’Savior’ as a young god! This pride within your heart, this rightful ’arrogance’—I have seen it!

"This is precisely the flame needed to challenge fate and forge miracles!"

"You shall become a great king!"

The excitement and delight in the Divine King’s tone were unmistakable, hot as molten lava.

His gaze burned upon Kana, full of encouragement and praise.

"Then speak!"

The Divine King’s voice carried a heroic grandeur of "whatever you ask, I grant you leave to try."

"Tell me exactly what you need! I shall give you the most precise guidance!"

Feeling the Divine King’s vast emotion, the last trace of doubt in Kana’s heart dispersed like smoke.

He straightened his back, eyes like torches, and clearly, firmly put forth his final request.

"I hope that the new Rule of ’Datafication’ under my command can, at the final juncture when my world faces the Void invasion, become the dominant core Rule, thoroughly enveloping and strengthening my world, and become the main force in resisting the Void.

"This requires that, at that moment, the Rule be completely ’activated’ and cover the entire realm, forming a complete Rule network."

The Divine King instantly grasped the key difficulty within.

His massive head dipped slightly: "All things in existence run upon energy, and even the spread and manifestation of Rules require vast energy as their drive.

"To let a newborn Rule, even in its birthplace, forcibly seize dominance at the critical moment and become the main artery of world Rules, requires unimaginable, far‑beyond‑normal Rule energy as its support."

For this is inherently a gradual process; even on an interstellar scale, it generally requires one to two thousand years.

Let alone when this world is facing the Void, with all its focus and Power bound to the outer Barrier.

The Divine King’s gaze seemed to Piercing through space, seeing the not‑so‑abundant energy reserves of the Holy Stone Plane.

"For your world, the energy just to maintain the existing Rules’ operation is already carefully budgeted, let alone additional energy sufficient to fuel the sudden eruption of a newborn primary Rule.

"Unless... you intend to prematurely drain and exhaust your world’s own origin before the Void invasion even begins?"

Just as the Divine King spoke thus far, he shook his head slightly, a look of understanding flashing across his face.

"No... it seems you have come from the Abyss side..."

His gaze seemed to retrace Kana’s journey.

"So, the chaos of the Abyss and that eternal Blood Battle have already entered your sight... I see. You have moved within the Abyss, and even delved deep into it. It seems you already possess a very clear goal and solution."

As his own thoughts and the path he had planned ahead were seen through at a glance by the Great Divine King, Kana felt no surprise or frustration; instead, a sense of relieved understanding.

Meeting the Divine King’s gaze, he calmly nodded, confirming the Divine King’s inference: "Yes, Great Divine King. The Abyss Blood Battle is precisely the ’source of energy’ I have chosen."

"You wish to personally descend into the fray, win a decisive Blood Battle victory, forcibly drive the Blood Battle Battlefield deeper into the Abyss, and even seize a layer of the Abyss as ’spoils of war’..."

The Divine King’s voice held a peace that seemed to see through all things.

"...by this, gaining from the Abyss will’s ’feedback’ and spoils the vast energy sufficient to support your Datafication Rule in covering the entire realm at the critical moment.

"This line of thought itself has no flaw; it is a path that can absolutely succeed."

Then the Divine King’s tone shifted, taking on a trace of gravity.

"But, child, your window of time... is far too short.

Before the Void Shadow fully enshrouds all, you must, within such a brief span, accomplish this colossal war objective, defeat the Lords of the Abyss, and win sufficient victory...

"The difficulty of this is far greater than you imagine. This is no easy fancy—every step is wreathed in tremendous risk and uncertainty."

Yet it is precisely because of this immense difficulty and urgent timeframe that Kana has journeyed all the way to the Titan World, seeking the wisdom and support of this Leader of the Order Side.

What he needs is not necessarily direct military intervention, but strategic guidance, assistance in intelligence, and the backing of influence he may gain at crucial moments.

In the Divine King’s eyes—deep as the star‑rivers—light flowed. After only a brief moment of thought, he made his decision.

His colossal head dipped once more, with a kind of unquestionable majesty.

"To suppress the Abyss’s expansion and arrogance is the duty of the Order Side’s pantheons, and especially of our Titan Pantheon.

"Since this struggle can aid you, and grant more chances of survival to a world struggling beneath the Shadow of the Void, then... let it begin now."

The Divine King’s voice was like war drums pounding, filled with a sense of Power.
