Rationality spoke thoughtfully, “Since you're asking such a question, you must not have the memories of the Silver-Crowned God?”
Ning Busan stubbornly refused to back down. “I do.”
Divinity tsked. “The tiny bit of memory you do have of the Silver-Crowned God was shown to you by me.”
“You are different from the two of us. We have always been on the Landia Continent, but you traveled through a new world, gaining not only a new life but also a new body.”
“In essence, you have already become a new living being, not a continuation of the Silver-Crowned God.”
The more Ning Busan listened, the more off it sounded, as if Divinity was subtly mocking him. He raised his chin and retorted, “So what? So what? So what?!”
Divinity: “...”
He really didn't want to talk to this contrarian anymore!
Rationality explained, “Since you don't have the Silver-Crowned God's memories, you don't know how terrifying the power of Chaos truly is.”
“The Will of Chaos is the incarnation of disorder, while the Silver-Crowned God is the incarnation of order. In essence, they are the same existence, just expressed in different forms.”
Divinity interrupted him, “Chaos and order are naturally opposed. Do not lump us in with him!”
“The Will of Chaos is just a destructive maniac, while we are the craftsmen who give form to the world.”
Rationality sneered, “If you look down on him so much, why did you cooperate with him to suppress me back then?”
Divinity snorted coldly. “It wasn't cooperation; it was utilization.”
Rationality was left speechless.
Ning Busan cleared his throat. “I only have one question. Can the Will of Chaos actually be killed?”
After serious thought, Rationality said flatly, “Killing him is absolutely impossible, but he can be banished.”
“After the last great battle with the Silver-Crowned God, his strength has only recovered to seventy percent. If it were the Silver-Crowned God at his peak, it might have been possible to banish him.”
Ning Busan asked, “Then compared to the Silver-Crowned God, who is stronger?”
Rationality said without hesitation, “We are inferior to him.”
Ning Busan let out a dry laugh. “So decisive?”
Shouldn't the student surpass the master?
“That might not be the case,” Divinity said confidently. “As long as you let me destroy the Landia Continent, reclaim all the magic element particles from the disintegrated Silver-Crowned God, and make up for the depleted divine power, we can absolutely wage war against the Will of Chaos.”
Rationality looked at Ning Busan. “Do you agree to destroy the Landia Continent?”
Ning Busan shook his head.
Rationality looked back at Divinity. “It's two against one now. Your proposal is rejected.”
Divinity was not surprised by this result. But in the next second, Rationality slowly said:
“Although I don't agree to destroy the Landia Continent, I do agree to reclaim all the magic element particles from the disintegrated Silver-Crowned God to make up for the depleted divine power.”
Divinity raised an eyebrow slightly. “What do you mean?”
Rationality explained his concept of a quantized world to Divinity once again, then said:
“Since the new world has no need for magic, it has even less need for magic element particles. They can be used to replenish our divine power instead.”
Divinity's expression became complicated. “I only wanted to destroy the world, yet you want to turn it into a playground for you to manipulate.”
“Do you think your method is any better than mine?”
Rationality's eyes turned cold. “Are you questioning my correctness?”
Divinity sneered, “Correctness? In my eyes, you are merely trying to satisfy your own selfish desires.”
Rationality was angered.
He felt deeply offended.
Behind Rationality, countless chains of law circulated like stars, while around Divinity, a faint silver light transformed into sharp spears.
If the previous brawl was just playing around, they were genuinely planning to get serious now.
After a long silence, Ning Busan said helplessly, “I don't support either of your proposals!”
Divinity and Rationality ignored him.
Ning Busan grew slightly furious. “You two seem to have forgotten one thing. This is my turf!”
“Since you won't listen when I discuss things nicely with you, let's communicate in another way...”
Ning Busan waved his hand, and the lake's surface surged violently.
The silver light around Divinity dimmed, and the tight chains of law behind Rationality actually disintegrated on their own, as if suppressed by some invisible force.
A flash of shock crossed Divinity's eyes. “How is this possible?”
Ning Busan said unhurriedly, “Just as you said earlier, I am a new living being, not a continuation of the Silver-Crowned God.”
“So please recognize reality. I am the master of this sea of consciousness, and you are merely guests lodging here.”
Divinity's brow furrowed deeply. “You didn't have the ability to manipulate the sea of consciousness before. You even had to rely on the power of the Lock of Causality to suppress me.”
“Why can you suddenly control the sea of consciousness now?”
Rationality's eyes flickered, and he quickly figured out the key. “The dream!”
“Exactly, the dream,” Ning Busan smiled. “The essence of a dream is a projection of the subconscious, and so is the sea of consciousness.”
“When I was deep in the dream, I didn't realize that I was its master. But once I awakened, I could manipulate my dream at will.”
“By the same logic, in my sea of consciousness, I should be the sole ruler.”
In truth, Ning Busan was also shocked. He hadn't expected that using the method of dream manipulation on the sea of consciousness would actually succeed.
Ning Busan snapped his fingers.
The silver light around Divinity vanished instantly, and Rationality's logical chains were forcibly destroyed.
The sea of consciousness returned to silence.
The lake disappeared, replaced by the bustling modern city from the dream.
Seeing the familiar living room, Divinity's body stiffened, feeling as if he had returned to the dream where he was dominated by Ning Busan.
Ning Busan said with a smile, “Let me say it again: this is my turf!”
Rationality asked, “Why don't you support my proposal?”
“The greatness of life lies in having a soul, but code and data cannot give birth to a soul. That isn't a continuation of life at all,” Ning Busan said.
“I cannot accept turning into code, and I believe the living beings of the Landia Continent wouldn't accept such an end either.”
Rationality asked expressionlessly, “Even if it is correct, you still won't accept it?”
Ning Busan said, “Anything against my will is a stray path.”
Divinity said coldly, “The barrier of the Landia Continent has already vanished. I'd like to see how you plan to protect this world.”
Ning Busan said calmly, “You two will help me.”
Divinity looked as if he had heard a joke, a mocking expression appearing on his face. “What makes you think we would help you?”
Ning Busan asked out of the blue, “Don't you want to have your own bodies?”
Divinity and Rationality were both stunned.
Ning Busan curled his lips.
As expected, neither of them could refuse such temptation.
“In the end, you are just formless wills, and only my body can accommodate you. As long as I wish, you will never be able to stand up in my sea of consciousness.”
“The authority of creation is under my control. I have a way to fashion divine bodies that can house your wills.”
“If the three of us join forces, would we still be inferior to the previous Silver-Crowned God?”
Rationality pondered for a long time.
Ning Busan possessed the authority of creation, Divinity was the pure incarnation of order, and he controlled the power of laws.
Once the three of them joined forces, their chances against Chaos would be very high.
Rationality said, “The matter of the Landia Continent remains open for discussion since none of us can convince the others, but Chaos is our common enemy.”
“Ning Busan, as long as you can help me reconstruct a divine body, I can cooperate with you to banish Chaos.”
Divinity nodded. “I agree as well.”
Seeing that the two of them were finally persuaded, Ning Busan wanted to cry tears of joy.
But he still didn't let his guard down, saying warily, “Wait! You two must establish a contract first! What if you turn on me once you have your bodies?”
Divinity and Rationality fell silent at the same time.
They still possessed basic integrity.
In the end, under Ning Busan's persistent arguments, they still established a divine contract.
