Standing on his own balcony and gazing at the distant night sky, Chen Yu could not overlook Tokyo's nightscape as from the Tokyo Skytree, yet the scene before him seemed even more majestic and grand.
As the world grew, its rules became more complete, and these rules that constituted the world were increasingly closely interlinked, operating flawlessly like the most precise machinery, hidden deep within the world yet extending to every corner, invisible to both gods and men.
But as the unbreakable taboos were shattered, perfect and flawless rules began to stutter, revealing "gaps" that those who could peer into these rules could exploit.
Before Chen Yu now was a "net" woven from countless rules, which could also be understood as numerous closely interlocking "gears"; but at this moment, gaps had appeared between these "gears," which also emerged from the depths of the world due to the vibrations.
These were the foundations of the world, the rules that allowed a world to be born and operate, each rule representing a potential god. Some rules shone brightly, while others were dim, intertwining and influencing each other like a vast net or the roots of a great tree, spreading to every corner of the world.
This magnificent and grand sight is the most beautiful existence in this world, the ultimate embodiment of order.
The only things comparable to it were the Endless Styx and the River of Time spanning the Multiverse, and the final oblivion at the end of the world.
This certainly does not mean that Chen Yu was so powerful as to be unaffected by the flow of information contained within the rules; rather, he shielded himself from this information, merely admiring the splendor of the rules themselves.
Of course, rules themselves are intangible and shapeless, omnipresent as they form and maintain the operation of a world, but to directly observe these rules is nearly impossible.
Because when one can directly observe the rules, the information contained within is enough to burst any brain, even that of deities, let alone to directly gaze upon the "net" made up of rules.
The terrifying volume of information could annihilate a deity in an instant.
Yet at this moment, Chen Yu could see the "net" composed of ubiquitous rules, witnessing this colossal beauty that spanned the skies and blanket the entire world.
The source of this c𝓸ntent is freewebnøvel.coɱ.
Even so, if others could see this majestic sight, even without understanding the information contained in the rules themselves, merely by seeing this scenery, they could grasp the essence of the world and gain supreme wisdom.
This is much like in cultivation novels where ordinary cultivators cannot grasp what the Saintly Way is, but if they could witness the Saints preaching, it would be an opportunity that could make them become immortal on the spot.
And this was precisely Chen Yu's true purpose: to use the disturbances caused by breaking the taboo to make these rules emerge from the world's deepest parts, creating an opportunity for him to achieve divinity.
This was why he had devoted so much effort and arranged so many measures to have Minami and Inomata Naoki meet.
Because when the two of them met and their emotions changed, it was the moment when the boundary between life and death was broken, and with the boundary broken, the rules that sustained the world's operation naturally vibrated. Once vulnerabilities appeared, Chen Yu could snatch away the rules, merge with them, and become an Ancient God that exists without reliance on faith.
This was different from his original plan but was more secure.
After all, according to Chen Yu's original plan, spreading plague in India to generate a widespread death and gathering the Power of Death and resentment to pollute the Ganges River to stir the world's rules, he thought that the current approach had much less impact and attention than the former.
Although both could potentially cause countless deaths, this current plan, with the cooperation of the Inari God, could minimize casualties.
Not that he regarded human life lightly, but Chen Yu did not wish to cause undue slaughter; excessive killing would ultimately affect him as well.
"However, this vibration is not strong enough. If this is the extent of it, at most I could only grasp the most superficial rules, merely weak Divine Power," commented Chen Yu, evaluating the impact on the world's rules before him, shaking his head slightly.
Although the meeting of Minami and Inomata Naoki did indeed affect the world's rules, the magnitude was still far from sufficient.
The current vibration of the world's rules was merely a minor disturbance caused by the disruption of the boundary between life and death. Although it caused the rules to emerge from the underlying layers of the world, the world's rules themselves remained stable, and even if Chen Yu wanted to take action, he could only extract some very common or even weaker rules, unable to become a powerful deity, with limited future potential.
After expending so much effort, Chen Yu desired not some weak rules; his goal was to at least become an Intermediate God, with the potential to become a powerful deity.
"Honey, what are you looking at?" While Chen Yu was contemplating how to make the world's rules vibrate more, Jounouchi Hiromi appeared behind him, asking with concern.
"Nothing much, just thinking about some things," Chen Yu replied with a slight shake of his head, wrapping his arms around his wife and leaning on the balcony, "Hiromi, tell me, if we could become deities, but at the cost of bringing disasters to the world, would you choose to become divine or give up divinity for the peace of the world?"
"Become divine? Why would you ask such a question?" Jounouchi Hiromi looked surprised at Chen Yu, but considering that he was already a Demigod, it made sense for him to ponder such things. After thinking for a moment, she answered, "It depends on the situation."
"Depends on the situation? What kind of answer is that?" Chen Yu was somewhat bemused, Jounouchi Hiromi's ambiguous answer left him unsure how to respond.
"Of course, it depends on the situation. If it's just minor disasters, like earthquakes and typhoons, shouldn't that be okay? As long as it doesn't cause a significant impact, I think I'd choose to become divine," Jounouchi Hiromi explained nonchalantly; in her view, there was nothing particularly difficult to decide: "But if it involves killing many people or causing wars, then I would definitely refuse because I wouldn't want to cause so many deaths just for my personal gain."
"Really? So that means, as long as there's a chance, you're willing to become a deity?" Chen Yu understood his wife's choice.
