Outside the dream...
For Chaos, destroying the world was a troublesome task.
But for Divinity, it was as simple as could be.
Because he was the Creator God in the truest sense, and he knew exactly how to destroy this world.
All he had to do was extract the core order, and this behemoth would collapse.
However, when Divinity prepared to do so, he discovered that he could not control the core order of this world at all.
He was merely one of the wills separated from the Silver-Crowned God, not the actual Silver-Crowned God himself.
In other words, his authority was insufficient.
His brow furrowed as Divinity muttered to himself, “Why stop me from destroying this world?”
“When you separated your multiple wills, you already foresaw this day, didn't you?”
Even now, Divinity still did not know why the Silver-Crowned God had undergone a tripartite separation, turning them into three independent existences.
However, Divinity had no doubts about himself.
Since it was something he wanted to do, the final outcome could only be success.
After a moment of contemplation, Divinity arrived at the boundary between the Landia Continent and the Ruins Beyond the Boundary, placing his hand on the barrier.
“Since I cannot touch the core order, I will do it another way.”
Since he could not shake the core order, he might as well let the power of chaos slowly dismantle it first.
The God of Light sensed the barrier's power rapidly vanishing, but by the time he rushed over, it was already too late.
In a mere seven seconds, the barrier turned to nothingness, and the Landia Continent became completely contiguous with chaos.
Countless xenos roared as they surged into the Landia Continent.
“You are... Divinity.” The God of Light looked at the culprit before him, his heart filled with complex emotions. “Before the Silver-Crowned God fell, he personally handed the rational will over to me. I thought he would be the final winner.”
Divinity glanced at him and did not reply.
The God of Light said, “You once told me that you looked forward to the birth of a new world, to the blossoming of life.”
“Father God, do you really intend to abandon this world?”
Divinity said coldly, “It was I who created this world, who created you all, and it was I who has always blessed and protected you.”
“I believe I have the right to take all of this back.”
The God of Light smiled bitterly. “Indeed, wanting to take back everything you gave us is your right.”
The God of Light knew that Divinity was not the emotional Silver-Crowned God, but rather a pure avatar of the laws representing order.
Yet hearing Divinity utter such cold and heartless words, the God of Light still could not help but shudder.
Divinity fell silent for a long moment, then said flatly, “A new world will be born in the future. You will still be the God of Light; this will not change.”
“You were my first creation, and also my most perfect one.”
“Are you willing to continue following me, Surya?”
Surya's gold eyes trembled slightly.
The Creator God wanted to personally destroy this imperfect world, yet he asked if Surya was willing to continue following him.
This was a tremendous honor.
An opportunity to live lay before him, but as far as Surya's eyes could see, the grey mist of chaos shrouded the entire Landia Continent, silently seeping into every corner of the world.
Surya sighed.
A golden sun hung above the Landia Continent, emitting a brilliant radiance.
Wherever the light reached, the grey mist dispersed.
Surya raised his sword, its tip pointing directly at Divinity. He said, word by word, “Protecting this world is my mission.”
“My destination can be death, but it can never be ignoble survival. As long as the believers of Light are still praying, the blazing sun will never fall.”
“Therefore, please leave—”
An inexplicable emotion arose in Divinity's heart.
Believers...
Once, he also possessed countless believers.
Divinity's brow furrowed slightly. Suppressing the stray thoughts in his heart, he returned to his tranquil, ancient-well expression. “How long do you think you can stall?”
At that moment, several figures appeared behind the God of Light. “What if you add us?”
The God of Darkness had awakened.
The Crimson Moon slowly rose.
The golden sun and the blood moon appeared in the sky at the same time, without any repulsion. Instead, they complemented each other's deficiencies, blocking the spreading grey mist.
Light and darkness were meant to complement each other; this was also the initial way the God of Light and the God of Darkness interacted.
At the same time, golden and silver branches intertwined and wound upward, climbing beneath the golden sun and blood moon, propping up a dome of sky.
Those were the World Tree and the Elven Mother Tree.
Since the barrier was gone, they would burn their life essence. No matter what, they had to protect this world and prevent chaos from eroding order.
Lucifer stood behind Surya, muttering softly, “You sure know how to play the hero...”
Surya asked, “Why did you come too?”
Lucifer said somewhat awkwardly, “I've obviously always been by your side. You're just too self-righteous.”
“I can also fight alongside you, Father God...”
A blood-red magic circle appeared beneath Lucifer's feet.
He opened the entrance to the Undead Realm; he was going to release all the undead.
The undead of the Blood Red Wasteland mobilized en masse, greedily absorbing the surrounding grey mist.
To those of them who cultivated the power of chaos, this grey mist was highly nourishing.
Meanwhile, in the Landia Continent, under the alliance of dragons, angels, demons, sirens, and humans, even the most brutal xenos would end up with not even their bones remaining.
Divinity took everything in, his expression indifferent as he spat out eight words: “Putting up a senseless, desperate struggle.”
Lucifer glared at Divinity and suddenly burst into laughter, a laugh filled with mockery:
“The Creator God of this world has the honorable name of the Silver-Crowned God, while an anomalous pseudo-god like you probably doesn't even have a name of your own, do you?”
“The Silver-Crowned God would rather sacrifice himself to protect this world, yet you use his banner in an attempt to destroy everything.”
“I know you are Divinity, and Divinity pursues perfection, but what caused this world to be imperfect is chaos. You should point your blade at the culprit, not this world.”
“In the end, you're nothing but selfish and incompetent!”
Divinity did not experience any emotional fluctuation because of his words, let alone be shaken.
Divinity said, “No one can save this world.”
Lucifer took a step forward and said without hesitation, “I believe Ning Busan can.”
Divinity's brow furrowed unconsciously.
He would simultaneously receive everything that happened in the dream.
After hearing Ning Busan's name, his heart finally experienced a violent wave of emotion.
That emotion was called anger.
...
The sea of consciousness.
The dream shattered, and Ning Busan woke up.
And Rationality also emerged from his dream.
Ning Busan and Rationality exchanged a glance, then simultaneously looked up at the lake's surface.
Ning Busan cleared his throat and discussed with Rationality, “Second Brother, why don't we beat up Big Brother together?”
He knew Divinity definitely wouldn't let him off, but wait a moment.
Let him secure an ally first.
