Chapter 1129 - Opportunity and Danger

If it weren’t for Mini Bubble Gum’s suggestion, Rhode had almost forgotten about it. Perhaps due to the need to slaughter the Chaos Beings and find the lost key, he instinctively threw the matter to the back of his head. But now, he had no choice but to face it. Why did the Creator Dragons try to transmigrate to another world with the Door of Akasha? Wasn’t it meant to open up a new world and let the people of Order escape from the threats of Chaos?

And now, almost all the conditions were met. The Door of Akasha was near completion and Rhode, as the Void Dragon, was also present. Even though he left behind his dragon essence in the Dragon Soul Continent, causing his strength to deplete drastically, it didn’t require his strength to activate the Door of Akasha. Instead, what was more important was the ‘authority’.

That’s right, authority. Without the inherited ‘authority’ from the five Creator Dragons, even if Rhode were ten times stronger now, it would only be wishful thinking to activate the Door of Akasha. Rhode, as the Void Dragon, naturally gained the authority of void from his younger sister. If not, he wouldn’t be able to activate the Door of Akasha. And now, the success of the plan that the Creator Dragons gave their all for was right before their eyes! If Rhode were willing, he could return to the Dragon Soul Continent, make use of the projection signals of the Door of Akasha, and seal up the entire continent, which would be a flawless implementation. Besides, this was even safer than his own plan earlier. After all, he was like a blind cat stumbling upon a dead rat, and anywhere the continent transmigrated to would suffice. But now, with such a secure coordinate from the Door of Akasha, the dangers would be greatly reduced. Moreover, Rhode knew this place inside-out, which was much better than starting out in a whole new world that he wasn’t aware of.

But now…

“You already knew about this, right?”

Rhode asked, standing on the balcony and gazing at the deep, dusky nightscape. He held up a bottle of cola and swirled it lightly while looking into the distance. Shortly after, he heard his younger sister’s response in his head.

“Yes, Big Brother.”

‘But you didn’t mention it to me before.”

“… because this is something that you should make a decision for by yourself.”

Indeed.

Upon hearing her answer, the corners of his lips perked up into a bitter smile. After pondering over the matter for a while, he understood that his younger sister must have also reacted to the situation immediately just like the other Creator Dragons. After all, unlike him, this was a goal that they had fought for their whole lives. They had even transformed their souls and forcefully broken through the space barrier for the sake of it. After losing their powers and reincarnating to Earth, they still didn’t forget about their goal. No one would believe that they didn’t set their hearts on it and wouldn’t have any reactions upon hearing this news.

Theoretically speaking, there wasn’t any issue transporting the Dragon Soul Continent to the solar system. As long as he controlled the dragon soul protections, enhanced them with a strong teleportation ritual, and used the Door of Akasha as the coordinates, he could directly transport the continent over. There were basically no dangers either. The dragon soul protections served as the atmosphere to resist foreign threats from the universe, which was even stronger than that unreliable atmosphere over Earth. This was because the dragon soul protection could resist Chaos. Not only could it stop magic attacks, but it could also defend against physical attacks. In other words, the dragon soul protection was like an energy shield over the continent and not even missiles could break through its defenses. When that happened, there would be an additional planet added to the solar system. But… this planet might not be in the shape of a globe, that was…

“What do you think I should do?”

Rhode focused his attention and questioned. He wasn’t a fool. He knew why his younger sister and the other Creator Dragons didn’t encourage or provide him with ideas and even wanted him to make the decision himself. It wasn’t that his relationship with his younger sister was great, or that the Creator Dragons were willing to respect his decision. After putting himself in their shoes, if he were to do one thing for thousands of years without success and now that success was within reach, he would surely think of ways to achieve it. But now, the five Creator Dragons chose to cover up the truth inadvertently instead, which meant that something was definitely up and also related to him. Perhaps his younger sister told him the truth out of their years of kinship, but as for the Creator Dragons, perhaps it was just as they had mentioned: they didn’t have the strength and solutions to speak conditions with him. After all, even if they didn’t mention the truth, as long as they deliberately guided him, he would definitely realize and understand the meaning behind everything. That was why they might as well let him make the decision himself. Rhode had to admit that the Creator Dragons were indeed really smart.

“From the point of view of the Void Dragon, I think Miss Bubble’s suggestion is great. It is a rare location for the Dragon Soul Continent to recuperate. I’ve once lived here too, which is why I understand it to a certain degree. This place isn’t threatened by Chaos and not only that, but I also sense the dense spatial connections in this world. As long as we transport the continent to this world, we can use its qualities to communicate with other planes of existence. Here, we don’t have enemies and life will be more peaceful. No matter from which aspect, this world is the best choice for the Dragon Soul Continent. But…”

As expected. There’s still a ‘but’ at the end.

“… if I’m only a human on Earth, I would oppose this suggestion.”

This time, his younger sister said without any hesitation. Perhaps due to the fact that she was just a soul fragment, she didn’t have as many concerns as her original self.

“I suppose you’ve realized it too, Big Brother. On Earth, no, in this world… Even though I don’t know how huge this world is, rules are still lacking in the entire solar system. Although there are religions and beliefs on Earth, there aren’t any corresponding representatives of rules.”

That’s true. Even though he lived on Earth for years and had read several legends, he didn’t truly witness one soaring in the air with wings.

“Chaos and Order in this world isn’t as clear-cut as in the Dragon Soul Continent’s. Besides, the power of faith is staggering and complex. Perhaps due to this existence, rules of this world are indistinct in general. After losing its clear boundaries, it can’t create the willpower of rules, which makes it impossible for representatives of rules to appear.”

I see…

Rhode nodded. After listening to his younger sister’s explanations, he more or less understood what she meant. All in all, this implicated a philosophical question of ‘you’ and ‘me’. This was a type of isolation method used by humans, no, used by everything. When one was aware of ‘me’ being ‘me’, it meant that an individual had come about, while ‘you’ represented another individual recognized by the world apart from self-awareness. In the Dragon Soul Continent, it was due to possessing this individual consciousness that rules were distinct from each other and disallowed Chaos from wreaking havoc. After all, the more chaotic the place was, the more possible it was for Chaos to infiltrate. Representatives of rules like Erin and Lydia were the concrete manifestation of ‘you’ and ‘me’ in rules.

But due to the staggered Chaos and Order on Earth, it led to rules not having the self-awareness to be separated distinctly, which was why there naturally were no representatives born.

This also means that…

“… When the Dragon Soul Continent is transported to the solar system, the rule representatives in the continent will make a full return and fuse with the world as one. For instance, the reason why Miss Erin and Miss Lydia are able to release the same powers as in the Dragon Soul Continent is because they were making use of the rules in this world. After a long period of time, they can also merge with the rules of this world and after that happens, Miss Erin and Miss Lydia will become the rulers of the sun and moon.”

His younger sister paused.

“Just like you, Big Brother. Even though you left your dragon essence behind in the continent, you still hold the authority of the Void Dragon. As long as you want to, grasping the spatial authority in this world shouldn’t be too difficult for you.”

In other words, after the Dragon Soul Continent was transported to this world, be it the five Creator Dragons, Lydia, Erin, three legendary generals, three archangels, six Deity Wardens, and even rule representatives like Sonia and Karin would take over the originally empty seats of rules in this world. In other words, they would become the genuine Gods to the people of Earth.

But will Earth be willing for it to happen?

If it were centuries ago when Earth was still uncivilized, perhaps humans might kowtow to the emergence of these ‘God’s messengers’. But now? Humans had developed to this day with the help of technology, so how was it possible for them to be willing to be ruled by a group of foreign Gods?

What about them being completely isolated from each other all their lives? That was even more impossible. As long as Rhode transported the entire continent over, to be it the solar system or Milky Way, it would eventually be discovered by Earth. The Dragon Soul Continent lacked the capability to send a satellite to space and their civilization wasn’t advanced enough to consider exploring the cosmos. But Earth was different. They would surely pay the Dragon Soul Continent a visit after discovering it with their satellite. When that happened… conflicts… were bound to happen.

It wasn’t that Rhode looked down upon the technologies of Earth, but if both sides were to clash, Earth would surely be degraded as a colony. Although the population and technological advancements on Earth were more and better than the Dragon Soul Continent, the Dragon Soul Continent’s high-end forces were insanely powerful. Even with just Erin and Lydia going all-out, they were capable of wreaking havoc without any problems.

Erin and Lydia had already caused a huge commotion on Earth, so what would happen if lichs and necromancers of the Country of Darkness came? The dead weren’t afraid of nuclear weapons at all.

80 percent of the population on the Dragon Soul Continent wouldn’t survive against Earth’s technologies if Earth were to attack.

But the problem was with the remaining 20 percent, which were the key…

This was perhaps why the Creator Dragons weren’t willing to mention this in front of him as they also felt equally conflicted…

Rhode fell into deep thoughts.
