Chapter 1682 God of the World. "Then why did you help the Foxes?" Nux questioned. Azriel paused and Nux continued, "The problem Yrniel faces right now, not having enough to even sustain itself properly. Of course, it would face such problems since it is playing home to not just one or two, but millions of otherworlders. To go as far as helping an entire race, just what in the hell were you thinking?" Nux couldn't understand. "Why are you asking me? It was Yrniel's decision, not mine." "You really treat all of us like fools, don't you…?" Nux commented as he stared at Azriel as he continued to think, "I wonder how many more lies have you said that many still believe to be true." "Lies…?" Aeliana, who was standing right there, frowned. First of all, the very fact one of the reasons why Yrniel was facing such a situation was because of the foxes was already something new for her. But… To think that the reason the foxes came to Yrniel in the first place was because of her father…? Foxes have been present ever since Aeliana was born, but the Core members of the Order knew that they weren't part of Yrniel. Of course, as the Leader of the Order, Aeliana knew the truth as well. And considering how many problems the Foxes had caused all this time, Aeliana always wondered how they got into Yrniel in the first place. However, every time she questioned a Progenitor, they either dismissed her question because they were too lazy to answer, or just gave some random excuses. Of course, since Aeliana didn't know that just their presence alone was taking a toll on Yrniel's health, she didn't pursue the matter either. Yes, she did ask the Progenitors to completely annihilate the Foxes, but again, the Foxes or the Black Order was never a big enough threat, so the Progenitors wanted to keep them to train stronger warriors. Or at least that was what Aeliana had believed all this time… Now, however… with Nux outrightly accusing her father, Aeliana's perspective was changing. Did she trust Nux? For some reason, she did. More than she trusted her father. After all, that man still had many secrets and despite Aeliana knowing that Nux probably has many secrets as well, for some reason, she found Nux much more… trustworthy. Or maybe it was because she had watched the child grow, unlike her father, who was still a mystery to her, Nux, despite having his own secrets, Aeliana still knew his core. She knew he prioritized the people he loved and would even go to war for their sake, this sort of simple-mindedness was Nux's true character in its truest sense. No amount of secret and mystery veils could hide that. Therefore, Aeliana trusted Nux and glanced at her fathers for answers. "…" Azriel narrowed his eyes. Nux, he didn't mind, but he didn't like how even his daughter was looking at him with those doubtful eyes. "Haahhh…" Suddenly, Nux sighed, gaining Azriel's attention, then, he started, "Yrniel is connected to you to the point it needs your energy to survive, a World depending on one being it has created, something like that doesn't make sense. I have seen and analysed countless life forms, Progenitors, the strongest beings in the world, the beings closest to their world, beings who had taken over the world and were living in it, and even the second Progenitors, Out of all these, there wasn't even a single case where a World showed such dependency on a single being… Unless… The said being is a God of the world." Nux spoke and Aeliana's expression changed. Becoming a God of a World… There was only one way to do it. It was to dominate the World's Core. Or as some say, devouring the world's Will. It is a different process from devouring the World itself since in those cases, the Universe acts and destroys those worlds. However, when one dominates the World's Core instead of devouring it, the Universe doesn't act. Yes, even in this case, one can still momentarily peak into the secrets of the World as they try to dominate the Core, however, the time they get is usually so less that it is pretty much useless to do so. Of course, this doesn't mean that dominating the World and becoming its God is useless, that has its own advantages as well. First, you get an entire World for yourself, a place where you are the Strongest, a place where no one could resist you, many Cultivators simply like to Dominate a single World and play God for the rest of their lives. Also, the more number of Worlds one has under it, the more 'impact' they have on the Universe, which indirectly strengthens one Law. So although it is an extremely inefficient way to do it, dominating a World also does help one get stronger. And since most of times, cultivators do end up actually devouring the world after they are bored of playing god, it is also a choice with no losses. This was also the reason so many beings dominate different worlds so frequently despite its inefficiency. However… When a World is dominated, the residents of the said world either dies or has to submit to the new God, and even in the second case where the residents survive, they lose almost all their powers, pretty much turning into mortals. So if we take what Nux was implying to be true and Azriel really was the God of Yrniel, then none of them should have had any cultivation base left. Just this alone should be enough to prove that whatever Nux was saying doesn't make sense, but… Aeliana, who knew what Nux had been through and how much he had changed, wasn't able to doubt Nux's words. "Of course, the very fact that we are able to cultivate disregards my theory." Nux acknowledged it himself, but then, "However… What if… instead of a complete God, You are Yrniel's Partial God instead?"
