Chapter 309 Cross-Shareholding
Over a long period of time, the White Emperor attempted to find the last remaining characteristic of the Time Worm.
Even if the usefulness of the money is limited, it can be freely distributed, and He does indeed like the wrong path. Unfortunately, there was no gain. Come to think of it, even Amon, who was born earlier, did not find it. It is good that He was able to get a share.
This led Xia'er to discover a pattern: no matter how great the initial advantage, those who couldn't gather all the necessary traits in the long run seemed destined to be denied godhood. This pattern was present in Medici, Amon, Adam, Ouroles, and Thorzner to varying degrees.
If we look closely, in the fourth era, when all the beings who surpassed Sequence 1 were in their prime, the only one who survived and retained their status after the storyline was the God of Steam and Machines. But this was only temporary. The Wilderness of Knowledge was locked by the Mother Nest, and it is still unknown who will ultimately rise to power.
Adhering to the principle of "one step ahead, every step ahead; one step behind, every step behind."
The White Emperor agreed to the Black Emperor's request.
"Should we really agree?"
The goddess Olnia did not want to deepen her cooperation with the Solomon family. The current situation was most advantageous to them. If they were to engage in deeper cooperation in the spirit world, the Solomon family might become a burden to them. As long as they maintained the status quo and spent more time, they could achieve the same results.
"Of course, cooperation is the cornerstone of success. Rather than fighting amongst ourselves, we should take a long-term view."
The White Emperor tapped his fingers lightly on the armrest of his throne and spoke calmly.
The Black Emperor's proposal was simple: to truly establish an order applicable to the spirit world. Only by establishing order in the spirit world could more power of order be drawn upon, instead of watching the White Emperor occupy the domestic market while also profiting from foreign markets.
This amounts to further binding.
But the hermit didn't care. He traded space for time. What the hermit wanted was knowledge and understanding. All other minor benefits were just fleeting clouds.
Hermits tend to influence the spirit world through "cultural soft power."
It will take enough time to truly achieve the effect the hermit wants, which is to influence the spirit world without relying on the authority of the three mysterious families, but on Xia'er herself, without relying on extraordinary characteristics.
The Black Emperor wants to establish an order in the spirit world, similar to that of Nast, the "King of the Five Seas," who wants to establish a pirate order that everyone must abide by on the five seas. This order is more inclined towards "law and violence," and will exert a more direct influence on the spirit world.
The former involves the hermit gradually investing in the spirit world fund, holding it long-term, and continuously receiving returns.
The Black Emperor can only get a small share of the profits.
The latter, with the Black Emperor joining as a partner, might allow him to gain some initiative later on.
Olya's reluctance stemmed from her desire to exclude Solomon from their family project. The lunar pathway can also influence the spirit world, and this angel king clearly had his own ideas.
"Solomon is not like us."
"Solomon had a family, we only have clans, and the emperor is never free."
"While a powerful order can benefit the Black Emperor, it is also a burden."
Shael shook his head slightly. The anchor can help maintain the balance between humanity and divinity, which has been verified. But divinity is inherently complex. The stronger the order, the stronger the Black Emperor, and the stronger divinity becomes, right?
In any world, power, wealth, strength—these "extraordinary," "special," or "privileged" qualities inevitably influence human nature.
It's understandable that the Black Emperor wants more, because he can't hold onto it all by himself, and in the end he'll have to share it with the Hermit.
If the effects of this are not terrible, why does Ocycus, with his pride in the solar pathway, not call himself the sun god, but instead call himself the Eternal Sun to distinguish himself from the sun?
"You mean, this will further affect the Black Emperor's condition?"
Olnia suddenly realized that she hadn't thought about it this way before. After all, she came from the Second Era, and the ancient gods and other gods didn't really consider this kind of influence.
"Sharing benefits and splitting risks – that's what cooperation is all about."
Xia'er didn't care much. Solomon wasn't seeking the spirit world, and the hermit could manage it himself if he spent more time. If Solomon wanted a share, he should take a big bowl. The hermit really wanted to make a big cake, so he should be careful not to consume too much sugar.
"The spirit realm within the Northern Continent, the Misty Sea, the spirit realm within the Northern Sea, and the Sunia Sea..."
"Is this going to be another war of gods?"
The goddess Olnia, however, didn't believe the other deities would sit idly by and watch the two emperors cooperate so sincerely in their endeavors.
"That depends on the Black Emperor's abilities. Didn't He obtain some of the characteristics of the Judgement Path? If He can properly distribute the benefits of the Spirit Realm and make them public in the form of a bottom-level order, and appease the several churches within the Empire, then even a war of gods won't be lost."
Shael closed his eyes; he was not afraid of divine battles, whether it was a team battle or a one-on-one duel.
He won't lose a one-on-one fight, but if he loses a team battle, it's not him who will be embarrassed; he's just the deputy, and the leader of the Solomon Empire is Solomon.
On the other hand, the Black Emperor was also preparing a mysterious ritual to accommodate the uniqueness of the Judge.
"His closest ally is the true Creator," so the ritual of the Judge's ascension to godhood is naturally very clear.
The gods on the side of order have a strong desire for control. They cannot stand by and watch the Hermit thrive while the country is experiencing both domestic deflation and foreign inflation. Otherwise, if this continues, the White Emperor will explode, which will bring misfortune to the Black Emperor. If the Black Emperor explodes, the Hermit will occasionally feel dizzy. Who can tolerate this?
The hermits should stop trying to profit from both sides and just unite under the Solomon Empire.
What do you think?
The Black Emperor looked at the thick curtain of shadow in front of him.
Even looking at history, only the Phoenix Ancestor meticulously managed the Spirit Realm, but the Phoenix Ancestor's core was still the Underworld. He was digging up the Spirit Realm to repair the Underworld. The gods after him, including the ancient Sun God, did not have much affection for the Spirit Realm.
"Previously, the upper limit that beings in the spirit world could reach was not angels, but the King of Angels."
The eyes behind the shadowy curtain revealed a message.
Although the True Creator was also insane at this time, he was, after all, the orthodox faith of the Northern Continent, with a sufficient number of supporters. Moreover, the Black Emperor's authority was quite interesting; the more insane the True Creator became, the more the Black Emperor could twist it, turning it into a rational madness.
"The Seven Lights cannot reach the King of Angels."
Solomon did not doubt the credibility of the words of the true Creator, for he was, after all, the former Creator.
However, Qi Guang is not at the level of the King of Angels.
"Does the hermit want to cultivate one himself?"
Solomon frowned.
