The Girls Are All Coveting Me-Chapter 479 - 415: Laplace Demon and the Inevitable War
[Wouldn’t directly dismembering The Stars be a more straightforward solution?]
This is the origin of the war that endangers multiple World Groups.
In the era of stock resources, as the development of new resources becomes increasingly difficult, instead of exhausting every means to compete for new worlds, it would be better to find a way to dismember the formed World Groups.
Chloe raised an eyebrow and said, "So you’re sure you won’t end up being the mantis stalked by the oriole?"
The Emperor Beast laughed and said, "You mean, worried about someone? Worried about a World Group sneak attacking us from behind while we’re fighting The Stars to the death?"
"Don’t tell me you haven’t considered this issue."
The Emperor Beast said softly, "We have considered it, but being wary of them is dangerous, being wary of you is dangerous, which choice doesn’t carry risks? And you don’t seem to realize why The Stars have become a target?"
"Oh?"
This strongest in the Ten Thousand Beasts Garden was more straightforward than Chloe imagined and directly disclosed some secrets.
"Filthy Sun, do you know why, even though the World Groups were born at the same time, The Stars were left behind by the mainstream World Groups and had to struggle to survive, developing in a stealthy manner?"
"I truly don’t know."
Chloe knew the history of The Stars was long, but was indeed unaware that The Stars were among the earliest World Groups.
The Emperor Beast chuckled and said, "When the universe was still chaotic, the primordial core experienced a great explosion, from which arose the origins of all future mainstream World Groups.
After experiencing the long night of the universe, one by one, the World Groups were awakened.
Including the strongest batch of World Groups today, all originated from that period."
"And then?"
"You should understand that those who tread a path first occupy an advantage, and it’s extremely difficult for latecomers to achieve victory."
Chloe nodded.
Just like in online literature, the first book to become explosively popular in a niche genre will siphon off most of the resources from that genre.
As long as the gap isn’t too significant, subsequent excellent works in that genre will have a hard time surpassing the achievements of the former.
From online literature to technology, and even to countries...
The chances of catching up head-on are very slim, and the probability of taking a shortcut is extremely low.
The World Groups would have such situations, something he can understand.
But what does this have to do with what the Emperor Beast said about dismembering The Stars?
The Human Emperor, seeing Filthy Sun frown, chuckled and said, "You should be aware that for each World Group, falling behind means you might get beaten, so the vast majority of forces choose to take a shortcut, even if it’s a very dangerous one."
"Are you insinuating that early on, each World Group adopted this method?"
"Yes, in fact, the original batch of World Groups had perfected rules, but this also made them easier targets for the later generations of World Groups.
Ants biting an elephant dead; to avoid becoming the sustenance for those World Groups using sinister shortcuts, almost all of the oldest World Groups have, more or less, used some irregular means."
"If you can’t beat them, join them, which is quite normal."
"Yes, but such operations are destined to lose some things, like the purity of the early World Groups. Do you remember the Seven Deadly Sins?"
"Of course, I was once the King of Pride."
"The way you want to develop is nothing more than two methods: wild expansion and slow assimilation. You know, wild expansion is fighting, fighting until the World Group is shattered, absorbing their World Source Power, and consolidating resources."
"Like the Bottomless Abyss?"
"Yes, the Bottomless Abyss was the first to start this mode and expand at the fastest pace."
Chloe suddenly understood.
No wonder the Bottomless Abyss has so many layers.
All these are the bloody cases left behind by the earliest World Group colonizers.
Later travelers on this road, limited by the times, found it hard to reach the standard that the Bottomless Abyss set in its day.
"But this approach meant that the Bottomless Abyss couldn’t smoothly digest and absorb the Root Power.
After all, He devoured too fast, too decisively, although it allowed him to become formidable in the short term, the rules couldn’t operate in a stable and orderly manner in the long term.
For people of our era, such uncontrolled rules of the Bottomless Abyss are collectively referred to as chaos, and this ruthless exploitation is defined as evil."
This is the source of chaotic evil, the origin of the Bottomless Abyss.
Of course, despite being disorderly and difficult to control, no one denies how troublesome an extreme Bottomless Abyss can be to deal with on this road; in this, your Stars should be even clearer than us."
Chloe was silent.
Jokingly, the Bottomless Abyss is the most bizarre among all World Groups.
It is at war with almost every World Group; the only difference is the intensity.
It can be said that even if newly developed to this day, from sheer volume alone, the Bottomless Abyss is still above The Stars.
But the chaotic and evil nature predestines that the Bottomless Abyss can never unify its power into a single force.
Thus, the seemingly immense Bottomless Abyss has a limit to its force, especially when it restrains those Evil Gods that obey its will, easily causing the Abyss to stiffen.
Long ago, in blocking the Gate of the Abyss, the eldest son used this very tactic.
Therefore, when the Emperor Beast uttered the following words, he did not feel particularly shocked.
"So you must have guessed it by now, in the distant past, countless World Groups once unfolded a conflict that swept both New and Old World Groups.
Almost the entire Multiverse was engulfed in this war, with no World Group entirely spared.
That war gave birth to many great existences that even later generations never had the chance to see.
Including myself, who was born in that era, and absorbed Ten Thousand Beasts Garden’s abundance of rules from the shattered World Groups, needing a vessel that could contain rules beyond Chaotic Good and Neutral Good, thus I was born.
Of course, some existences underwent fundamental transformations. It is said there was a World Group closely tied to the Scaly Race, which, upon realizing the inevitability of its downfall, directly bestowed all its World Force to the last descendant of the Scaly Race.
Later, that descendant roamed the star seas, navigating between the battlefields of the World Groups, devouring countless fragments of worlds, and ultimately completed the ultimate leap. It is called..."
"Cosmic Giant Serpent, right?"
Listening to the conversation between the Emperor Beast and Filthy Sun, the Deities present were somewhat on edge.
It should be known that these secrets are scarcely known even among the Deities, especially those that emerged in later generations, who have no way to learn of these past secrets.
Unexpectedly, the Emperor Beast, who usually seemed extremely proud, willingly shared these words with Filthy Sun.
This made the Deities somewhat irritated and frustrated.
They understood why in all these years of occasional cooperation, no god had received such information from the mouth of the Emperor Beast.
Because this basically unkillable scoundrel was born in a much more distant past. Although not as powerful as the Cosmic Giant Serpent, as one of the oldest beings in the Multiverse, he has his own reasons for pride.
Only the Strongest, or even monsters with the opportunity to tread the Supreme Path, could make him speak further.
Very unfortunately, despite the presence of numerous Powerful Divine Powers, none of the gods present were recognized by the Emperor Beast.
It wasn’t until the arrival of Filthy Sun that the Emperor Beast disclosed the reason why Ten Thousand Beasts Garden had uncharacteristically targeted The Stars.
"In those days, the World Groups, influenced by the rapid growth of the Bottomless Abyss, inevitably focused entirely on the situation of prioritizing their own strength enhancement.
The final outcome was that, including my Mother Goddess (Ten Thousand Beasts Garden), the vast majority of World Groups chose the path of savagely devouring other World Groups.
Hence, from then on, their insight planning capabilities, as original World Groups, became increasingly weak, nearly nonexistent.
I once discussed this matter with the King of Redemption, who seemed to have an understanding of this order planning capability.
He said in his homeland, this capability is known as... the Laplace Demon."
Chloe’s gaze shifted slightly.
Both he and Louis were aware of The Stars’ capability to arrange all information, but Chloe, having long-term exposure to World Groups without The Stars, hadn’t realized this power was a method possessed only by the original World Groups.
The Emperor Beast, noticing Chloe’s expression, instantly realized something, smiled and said:
"It seems even you Seven Heroes aren’t unaware of this ability; you’re just not too sure of its true worth."
"No, I understand its value. What I don’t know is why no other World Group has chosen to walk this path."
"Do they not know, or are they unwilling to think?"
The Emperor Beast let out a cruel sneer.
Chloe didn’t respond.
As the Emperor Beast said, he actually had pondered this issue.
The path The Stars tread, while extremely difficult in the beginning, is undeniably a path to the heavens in the later stages.
Or perhaps, the first to realize this point were precisely the Seven Heroes.
There is a very obvious question here. 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶
Why were the Seven Heroes able to kill the Fear Demon God back then?
The fundamental reason was because the True God Uniqueness of the Seven Heroes had extremely strong restraints on the Fear Demon God.
But with the likes of the King of Redemption and even the Filthy Sun Demon Monarch emerging among the Seven Heroes, why didn’t any other World Groups consider cultivating a True God Uniqueness that could severely restrain them?
Is it because they didn’t want to, or... because they couldn’t?
If the most unique aspect of The Stars is the minimal external intervention allowing all developmental directions to remain within controllable and predictable scopes,
then does it indicate that The Stars’ near-future-predicting information insight ability is not only concentrated on information but also on the World Source Power that constitutes the True God Uniqueness?
Having five strong but non-cooperative young adults lift a log, compared to five slightly weaker yet well-coordinated teenagers lifting the log, the teenagers’ possibility of lifting is actually greater than that of the young adults.
