Chapter 678: Chapter 501: Ancient Gods Are Just Ancient Gods_2
When two groups clash, and you think those at the very top are on your side, in reality, they are actually allies with the leader of the opposing side. The conflict is just an excuse by both leaders to clear out the excess population in their groups.
Because between exploiters, there’s no inherently irreconcilable conflict.
The conflict with exploiters always comes from those they exploit.
Or what else?
They enjoy the best food and clothing every day, use the finest heavenly materials and earthly treasures, and the Power of Laws naturally flows to them without effort. When they want materials to forge weapons, they exchange resources obtained from exploiting the lower class. Why would they fight and injure each other within the same tier over nonsensical reasons, or even annihilate each other?
They’re not fools!
Only a real fool would think that those of a higher class have a lower intelligence than themselves.
If that weren’t the case, how would the term "class solidification" even exist in this world?
Only through real life experience can one understand how despairing this term is for the lower strata of society.
In contrast, for the upper class, the same term brings great joy.
With class solidification, they can continually enjoy the benefits of society.
And this is why, even though everyone knows class solidification is bad, society still leans in that direction.
From this perspective, the Cosmic Realm is undoubtedly an extremely unqualified world.
Because ever since the Ancient Gods fell in ancient times, this world’s class structure has never solidified!
That’s abnormal.
Very abnormal, extremely abnormal.
Even more abnormal is that the Cosmic Realm, being a severely damaged world, has shown hints of revival despite the lack of class solidification over the years.
This blatantly defies the world’s operational rules!
The reason for this lies in the emergence of the Watchers, because there’s a new batch of Watchers every year, and generation after generation of Watchers keep replacing each other, bringing vitality to the Cosmic Realm.
The core reason in this process is the death of each generation of Watchers!
Frequent upper-tier replacements make room for the lower tiers to advance, bringing vibrancy to society as a whole.
Of course, there’s a fatal flaw in this process.
The flaw is that when everyone knows being a Watcher is a high-risk job, it makes no one want to become one!
Sos’ existence resolved this flaw.
By forcefully suggesting to the whole world, Sos made the people of the Cosmic Realm view becoming a Watcher as their most exalted faith.
Thus, the Sos who achieved this is the savior of the Cosmic Realm. Even if he wasn’t born from the divinity of an Ancient God, achieving this same feat still makes Sos beloved by the world’s will as a half-Heavenly Dao Spokesman.
Sos managed to keep the Watchers replaced generation after generation, allowing the decaying Cosmic Realm to remain vibrant.
But in reality, by doing so, there remains a flaw.
The flaw is that the Watchers are replaced too swiftly, failing to accumulate true powerhouses. When the world faces an invasion by real strong foes, it creates an extremely awkward situation.
Of course, this flaw is insignificant to a broken Cosmic Realm because if a powerful enemy invades, Sos can lure them with divine relics stored in the Ancient God Realm of the Sky to fight against the ancient relics left in the Divine Kingdom. If that fails, Sos can step in directly!
However, now.
Sos, the Heavenly Tao Spokesman, looks at the Divine Kingdoms within the Cosmic Realm being dismantled one by one by Yimiao and desires to change the operation mode of the Watchers.
He needs some formidable figures to step up and contend with powerhouses like True Monarch Yimiao!
"The words Mr. Chen said, something about wanting both fish and bear’s paw, couldn’t do it."
At the base of the massive World Tree, Sos gazes at the red sun slowly sinking into the sea from the sky, finally solidifying his determination for reform,
The feudal system for slaves can be implemented in the Cosmic Realm!
But before doing so, he needs another conversation with Chen Zhixing, thoroughly analyzing the pros and cons of the slave feudal system as spoken of by Chen Zhixing, adapting it to a system suitable for the Cosmic Realm.
With this thought, Sos’ attention begins searching for Chen Zhixing’s presence in the Cosmic Realm, finally locating him on the outskirts of the Celestial Vault Divine Kingdom.
"Mr. Chen is interested in the two pieces of divinity within the Celestial Vault Divine Kingdom, hmm. Indeed, those two pieces are quite suitable for Mr. Chen, one representing the Starry Sky and the other representing the stars. If Mr. Chen needs them, they can be taken after stripping away the thunder attribute."
Sos is a very generous person.
Apart from laws crucial to the Cosmic Realm’s lifeline, like World Thunder, any other renewable laws are not considered untouchable valuable items to him.
Chen Zhixing lingered outside the Celestial Vault Divine Kingdom for half a day.
Sos also observed his time with Bai Yu in the daytime.
It wasn’t until Chen Zhixing finally activated the Array, reentering the Celestial Vault Divine Kingdom, that Sos suddenly extended his hand toward it, extracting the laws related to World Thunder directly from a certain Ancient God Puppet within the Divine Kingdom.
This maneuver could be described as a bolt from the blue.
A being capable of arbitrarily extracting laws from other life forms’ bodies!
What kind of monster is this!!!
Imagine this, you feast day and night to finally grow some fat, only to have it extracted by a doctor at the hospital.... let’s change the analogy!
After much hard work, you achieve a Tsinghua Great Perfection score, and when you graduate high school to take the college entrance exam, your proctor casually reaches into your mind, taking away all your knowledge, resulting in a zero score on your test.
Absolutely crazy?
Absolutely crazy!!!
"Hmm, the thunder and sky have been reclaimed, the remaining laws can be gifted to Mr. Chen, but as for the descendants of the Sky God within the Celestial Vault Divine Kingdom....."
Watching the group of Birdmen, having degenerated over more than twenty thousand years to be barely distinguishable from beasts, Sos’s face bore a somewhat helpless smile.
"Honorable Mistrel Majesty, if you witnessed these descendants you once blessed and I helped shelter turn into their current state, I don’t suppose you’d fault my actions, would you?"
Sky God Mistrel.
One of the few Ancient Gods within the Cosmic Realm worthy of Sos’s slight respect.
The reason isn’t that this massive bird-like deity provided any help to Sos, but because this beast-like melancholic great bird once lifted its head to gaze at this Star Sea, and dared to project its ambitions beyond the Cosmic Realm.
When establishing the Divine Kingdoms, it was among the few deities who caused minimal harm to the Cosmic Realm since most materials for their Divine Kingdom were acquired by plundering other worlds in the Star Sea.
It’s precisely Mistrel’s approach that led a batch of Ancient Gods also curious about the Star Sea to pick the same strategy, ultimately leaving some Primordial Energy to the Cosmic Realm, allowing Sos to inherit the Cosmic Realm and assign Watchers, and facilitating the first Star Map for outside exploration.
Such actions deserve Sos’s respect.
Even though the esteemed Mistrel likewise plundered the Cosmic Realm, at least among those beasts, he was one of the best behaved, wasn’t he?
"Oh."
As Sos reminisced over the grand achievements of that bird-like Ancient God infused with golden thunderbolts, he suddenly detected some rather unfriendly elements within the Celestial Vault Divine Kingdom.
This discovery soured Sos’s expression somewhat.
"Alright then, with Ancient Gods, the expectations can’t be too high, after all, they’re just a bunch of mindless beasts, even if they regard themselves as deities."
While Sos spoke these words, he had already stood up, stepping toward the direction of the Celestial Vault Divine Kingdom.
Just leaving this statement lingering in the air.
"Now is no longer the era of the Ancient Gods, revered Mistrel Majesty, you shouldn’t come back from the mists of history."
