GREED: ALL FOR WHAT?

Chapter 1324 Soul Fire.

Chapter 1324 Soul Fire.

The person he suspects of ratting him out is the child of the plane. He knows the child of the plane has been created and that whoever it is will hate him. It doesn't take him much to suspect that the child of the plane is working with the Celestial Supreme to suppress him. After all, she is the strongest being in the plane.

He thought to himself with confidence, "It seems this plane will not be easy to subdue. But it is good too. I like a challenge. Let it not be said that I bullied them."

Then he chuckled evilly as he said, "Enjoy your peace for now. You won't have it for much longer."

He can use this communication system set up by the Celestial of Knowledge to attack the Celestial of Knowledge or the other gods connected to the system. It is a spiritual network formed with divine power which means it is an avenue of attack for him. But he didn't attack.

His reluctance to attack is mostly because he doesn't think he can defeat any Celestial yet. Celestials have an unlimited storage of divine energy so it will take a long time to grind down their resistance. Anything can happen in the meantime.

Another reason why it is a bad idea to attack a Celestial right in front of everyone is that it will cause the other Celestials to take him seriously. If he can threaten them and is mad enough to do so openly, then they are likely to band together to eliminate him. So he won't trouble them yet.

He turned his attention to other suitable targets. If he can't take a Celestial down, that leaves grand gods and lesser gods. But those are not worth it for him to expose the fact that he has infiltrated their communication system.

It is best that he remains hidden and acquires more information. After all, he can get grand gods on his own. He doesn't need the communication system to find and attack them. He is already targeting many of them.

"Who is the child of the plane?" The Celestial of War asked.

The Celestial Supreme said sternly, "That is information that you don't need to know."

"Why not? How is it that we the gods of the plane don't need to know about something that involves the fate of the whole plane?"

Another Celestial buttressed that point, "We should at least know who it is so that we can help them. It is not as if you're lying about the existence of a child of the plane so you shouldn't have a reason to hide it."

The Celestial Supreme didn't back down. She said to them, "You don't need to know because I said so."

The Celestial of Knowledge intervened quickly. "I think we should see if can contact Malekite and try to negotiate with her."

He didn't wait for them to ask before he explained his reasons, "It is either that or we discuss how to neutralize the disease. I will tell you all now that this disease is beyond my knowledge. I do not have any confidence in curing it."

The Celestial of War didn't like that suggestion, "So you are saying that we should negotiate with a terrorist?"

The Celestial of Knowledge refuted calmly, "Put away your hypocrisy and false righteousness. You razed down a whole kingdom when you wanted to become a god and you are always trying to initiate wars in the plane. Some might call you a terrorist but we don't, at least not to your face because we know you do it for power. Malekite must have a goal for what she is doing and we can help her get it in exchange for peace."

The Celestial of War grumbled something about weakness to himself but stopped interfering. The gods spent the rest of the meeting discussing and planning. Legion-7 listened to them diligently as he evolved.

He has consumed more than a thousand divinity which is an amount that only a Celestial possesses. It is an amount that has completely blocked his perception of the laws but it is also an amount enough for his soul to use as a substitute for a concept so it finally evolved.

His core soul contracted abruptly. It is as if the divinity in his soul has reached critical mass so it caused his soul to collapse. The white matter of his soul shrunk into itself which further increased the pressure of his soul. The high pressure caused the divinity to smash against each other which led to the creation of a spark.

The white matter of his soul shrunk into itself which further increased the pressure of his soul. The high pressure caused The spark is like a fire. It is the product of the collision of divinity under high pressure. It possesses a lot of energy and power but it is also burning his soul. The burning effect began to increase as the heat of the spark caused the divinity to fuse.

Legion-7 was aware during the process. He has also seen something like this before. The fusion of the divinity in his soul is similar to the fusion of divinity in gods to create godhood. But unlike gods, he doesn't have a god fire, instead, he has a soul flame.

His excitement caused by the successful evolution was tempered when he noticed his soul disappearing.

He lamented, "No one told me this would be so dangerous."

The soul fire isn't consuming faith like the god fire, it is consuming his very soul to fuel itself. A fire needs fuel and without fuel, it will go out. Fortunately, he has Origin energy for it to burn. The soul fire stopped burning his soul after getting Origin energy. If he runs out of Origin energy then he will die.

He is still excited even though he nearly died. "How marvelous. So this is the soul imprint."

His strength didn't increase despite his evolution. There was no qualitative or quantitative improvement due to the evolution. Instead, his state of existence seemed to have changed. He is not certain of that because the only sign of his evolution is the soul fire.
