Chapter 675

Chapter 675: The Plan for World War

Having power yet still believing in others only shows a weak will and lack of independence.

This is quite dangerous; the world has experienced many devastating events due to new gods being unworthy of their positions.

It is crucial to know that humanity’s survival environment is extremely fragile; country-level Mages can’t destroy planets, but they can lead to human extinction directly.

There once was a child from a noble family who obtained country-level magic, but his family controlled him for their own interests, continuously using his power to eliminate foes, which ultimately led to this Mage’s personality not fully maturing, resulting in a very biased sense of right and wrong.

Consequently, a mental Mage exploited this weakness, interfering with the Mage’s heart, causing him to go berserk and unleash a storm that could destroy the world.

At that time, the crisis had escalated to the point where, in just one hour, the atmosphere would have been completely destroyed by the storm. If countries had not been horrified and quickly dispatched their country-level Mages to exterminate the threat, humanity’s history might have ended there.

Afterward, a Mage, filled with rage, slaughtered everyone from the noble family, turning this episode into a taboo that could not be mentioned.

Since then, many countries have treated country-level Mages with increasing seriousness and caution.

Controlling Mages of such a level indeed brings great benefits, but once there’s a backlash, it could lead to the extinction of a family or even humanity itself.

A storm requires time to sweep across the surface, but a spatial Mage could bring complete destruction to humanity in just a second, leaving no room for error.

Upon realizing this, Alania immediately began planning education.

“Lord Noah, it seems you need to learn.”

“Especially about history.”

The aircraft docked.

Noah and Alania boarded another plane heading directly to the international metropolis of Eurasia, the immortal capital.

This was the residence of multiple country-level Mages and, after the beginning of world destruction, the city most likely to survive. It gathered the highest-ranking officials of Eurasia, with defenses as solid as a fort, a renowned city of magic and deities.

Studying here meant access to distinguished teachers and significant events.

……

Beyond the distorted planes.

A hazy white dragon twisted its body, coiling around the entire world, its massive vertical pupil staring into the world interior, as if trying to see through something.

In past eras, True Immortals observing the Red Heaven realm wasn’t easy, as they were obstructed by the Red Heaven wall. However, the rules have changed in this era, suppressing the power of a True Immortal, making it impossible even for them to cast their gaze there. Without an insider, it was difficult to know what was happening in the Red Heaven realm.

Such barriers exist in every universe; while a True Immortal might easily see through them, a Divine Master cannot, struggling to do so.

The White Dragon Divine Master could only vaguely sense the cultivators he had sent forth. As these cultivators interfered more extensively with the world, his perception would grow clearer until he could directly intervene.

“No one can save you, Qing Liu Sheng.”

The white dragon closed its eyes, conserving strength to resist the erosion of the void.

The Opposing Universes would suppress invaders from all sides, and even the Master of Heaven’s Cavern could not use powers beyond the peak of this world. If they defied that, the universe could suppress it, but if it couldn’t, it would mean the destruction of its own rules, resulting in either the universe collapsing or exploding.

Whether collapsing or exploding, nothing would remain, contradicting the goal of invading the Red Heaven realm.

Thus, the Master of Heaven’s Cavern often does not descend personally; sending subordinates is sufficient. The distorted plane before him is merely a small plane, and even Mystic Realm cultivators entering would be a waste—they have not reached a point where the Master must intervene personally.

……

In the Americas.

In the capital of the American Alliance, in the edge district, the Cloud Tower.

A middle-aged man wearing sunglasses arrived downstairs. After verification, he stepped into the Cloud Tower.

The Cloud Tower is the home of one of the three country-level Mages of the American Alliance, Lin Kai, known as "The Sun." As an aged S-level Mage, he would not leave this building filled with barriers unless absolutely necessary.

“Shantanu, you actually thought to seek me out? Come, let’s have a drink.”

Lin Kai, now ninety years old and with hair as white as snow, remained energetic. Upon seeing the man in sunglasses, he immediately welcomed him warmly, as they were old friends.

The man said nothing, only showing a smile. He removed his sunglasses, and his normal pupils instantly turned black. Lin Kai was startled, sensing something was wrong.

But an overwhelming force of control suddenly enveloped him, and Lin Kai was shocked to find he could not move and had no power to resist!

“You managed to easily break through my magic power! What kind of strength is this? Who are you?” Lin Kai struggled, trying to channel his magic to fight back, but even the magic power that could interfere with distortion objects was completely ineffective now, creating not even a ripple.

“There’s no need for you to know; just carry out the orders and contact the elite of the Alliance… one by one,” the man in sunglasses said coldly with a smile.

“What!” Lin Kai gasped. Could this magic actually control the entire elite of the Alliance?

The Alliance’s system favors the elite; although the rights of the people seem plentiful, they are nearly nonexistent. If the elite were all controlled, it would be far too simple to do anything. If this mysterious person had malicious intent, it could even lead to the start of the Third World War!

That would be the end!

Along with the newly emerged Mage, this era unprecedentedly possessed as many as ten country-level Mages. Destroying the human environment would be extraordinarily easy. Once the Third World War commenced, it wouldn’t take long for humanity to meet its end!

“Heh, don’t think too much. Our goal… is to ignite the Third World War!” The man in sunglasses was confident, unconcerned about revealing information.

Why is Spirit Law the top choice in the Red Heaven realm across major worlds?

The reason is simple—when the Multiverse is invaded, Spirit Law experiences the least impact and can dodge the rules of various worlds.

Next comes Physical Law.

Last is Spiritual Law.

This is exactly the same situation as in the past; even the appearance of Cave Techniques hasn’t changed the order.

“Are you kidding? What benefit do you gain from this? If war breaks out between East and West, humanity will undoubtedly perish! Whether due to suspicion chains or some other reason, launching the strongest offensive right away is the most likely way to win. At that point, all the nuclear explosions worldwide and all the country-level Mages…”

“We want humanity to be annihilated.”

The man in sunglasses interrupted Lin Kai’s emotional outburst. The latter was instantly stunned. What did that mean?

They wanted to destroy humanity?

“Are you joking, you bastard!”

“This isn’t a movie. As humans, do you have some sort of problem in your head? You actually want to destroy the environment where humanity resides? This treasure gifted by nature?”

“What do you gain? If humanity perishes, what benefit do you achieve? Isn’t enjoying wealth and power better?”

Lin Kai roared.

If this was a normal person acting out of self-interest, even if they controlled the entire nation, it would only lead to instability and chaos, using national power for personal gain—a chance for a turnaround would still exist.

But if this was a madman, then everything was over. The weapons held by various countries were too terrifying; they could truly bomb the world to pieces!

Even a single country-level Mage could aim a magic attack at the outer heavens and cause irreparable damage to the environment.

If the world was destroyed, what significance would high positions have?

As a normal person, Lin Kai completely could not comprehend the man in sunglasses’ thoughts. If it were him, he would never allow the world to perish. Wasn’t that simply inviting trouble?

But this was the thought of a normal person; the man before him was clearly not normal, determined and unwavering in his desire to obliterate the ecosystem!

To annihilate humanity!

“Heh, just obediently carry out the orders…”

The man in sunglasses sneered, but this time he did not respond.

Would he really tell Lin Kai that he was an invader who did not care about this planet at all and simply wished to destroy the foundation of the world?

Revealing himself as an invader would trigger a world alert, leading to incomprehensible counterattacks. There was no need to indulge in verbal confrontation.

Lin Kai felt a sense of despair; he realized he had encountered the most terrifying thing— a madman had gained the power to destroy the world!

…

After Noah arrived in the Divine Capital, he was filled with curiosity, encountering countless new things he had never heard of, which made Alania sigh.

The new god’s understanding was too weak; he required a long period of learning. During this time, any disturbance could lead him to a path that was entirely different!

Undoubtedly, her future task was very heavy; she could not be like other priestesses, merely serving as a steward or companion.

In the following time, Noah and Alania went to school together, and a week quickly passed.

In Noah’s conscious space,

A clock ticked away.

“Red Heaven Time: April 22, 8:05 AM.”

“Flow of time: 1:500,000.”

All cultivators used Red Heaven realm time as a baseline, with a flow rate of 1:5, indicating one day had passed in Red Heaven while five hundred thousand days had passed in other worlds.

It had been about a month since he left the Red Heaven realm. In various worlds, due to constant world destruction and space-time distortion, he jumped forward in time, resulting in a month having passed.

Under normal circumstances, comparing the flow rate of time between the Red Heaven realm and other worlds, a month would be enough to complete the conquest of a world, yet he had merely been in continuous transmission and battle, inadvertently skipping forward a month—quite a peculiarity indeed.

Yun Ye sat cross-legged in Noah’s conscious space while the Three Great Methods operated without being bound by the rules of this world. However, this was not for cultivation; it was to ensure his power did not degrade.

Without the Red Heaven True Immortal Law, he could not Create from Nothing to gain power. Naturally, like other cultivators, he could not cultivate in the outer heavens.

“As the origin world, the mass of the Red Heaven realm is too immense, preventing an acceleration of the flow of time. Compared to other worlds, the flow of time remains at an extremely low level. While hundreds of thousands of days pass in other worlds, only a day has likely passed in the Red Heaven realm…”

“Perhaps staying in the outer heavens is not a bad choice; it would allow me to grow rapidly. So far, there hasn’t been a world whose time flow is slower than that of the Red Heaven realm.”

If he could use the Red Heaven True Immortal Law in this life, he could easily remain in the outer heavens to cultivate until he achieved the position of Supreme Ruler.

Cultivating to Royal Path strength in the outer world does not equate to true Royal Path strength of the Red Heaven realm. Without the gathering of the fortune of the Red Heaven race, calling oneself a Supreme Ruler would be more appropriate.

In this age, there were Monarchs and quasi-Monarchs who achieved Royal Path-level combat power and thus claimed to be Supreme Rulers.

However, this was rare; even the three Monarchs of the Divine Court did not go that far.

Without sweeping across the world and subduing everything, how can one call themselves Supreme?

Although some cultivators today could match ancient Royal Path strength, it is utterly meaningless compared to the past. This title signifies the emperor of the human race.

Only the strongest can rightfully be considered the Supreme of the Royal Path.

However, Holy Path has no such limitations; so long as one blesses the Red Heaven realm, any cultivator with comparable power to ancient Royal Path can also claim to have achieved the Holy Path.

Such figures do exist in today’s Red Heaven realm and are widely known, such as a talisman saint at Zixue Academy.

“It’s a pity that the Red Heaven True Immortal Law is in the Heavenly Dry Universe.”

Yun Ye realized that only the Red Heaven True Immortal Law could enable a Monarch to directly traverse the universe and permanently leave the Red Heaven realm. This True Immortal Law can Create from Nothing and manifest spirit energy, similar to Cave Techniques, but it can also move.

The various True Immortal laws are truly not weak; it all depends on how they are used.

…

Noah attended school step by step and returned home in the evening, where Alania would give him extra lessons. These were not forceful studies but rather explanations of the histories of various countries, allowing him to at least have heard of them and to explore them further if he had interest.

The stories of each era were magnificent, and Alania narrated them wonderfully, making Noah quite enjoy it. After school each day, he would pull Alania to tell stories, and she was quite responsible, having done a lot of homework to recreate the histories of various eras.

However, one important point remained: Noah was the new god of humanity, not of any particular country. Thus, he should have no biases toward different countries and certainly not harbor any so-called preferences.

Therefore, while explaining, Alania described the customs and habits of each era, the people and civilizations, the true history and false history very clearly.

She told Noah that history is a means of understanding the world, and whether it is true or false does not matter; what matters is whether one can draw experiences from it.

If what has happened in history is repeated by people today, isn’t that foolish?

Noah completely agreed. The more he learned about the stories of different eras, the more he realized that humanity could not be rational; the foundations of the current world were anything but “correct.”

As for what it actually is, he had learned for too short a time to draw a conclusion. He merely thought he should walk on the correct path and not become one of those incomprehensible existences in history.

One day, the two went to school, and as they passed a bank, they suddenly heard a gunshot, quickly followed by an explosion in the bank…

Flames erupted, and the entire bank collapsed, sending a shower of debris flying outward.

Noah’s pupils contracted.

Even without using magic, he could see many ordinary beings being directly blown apart, limbs flying everywhere. Inside the bank, it was uncertain how many people had met their end.

A terrorist attack?!

“Enemy attack!”

With a wave of her hand, Alania plunged into a certain space, and chains instantly shot out, wrapping around her arm as they spread all over her body. With a flash of her thought, her pupils flickered pure white. These chains immediately expanded, enveloping the two of them, blocking the subsequent storm and debris from the explosion.

A cold voice from the military came through her earpiece: “Received; the protection team is heading there immediately. Please ensure Lord Noah’s safe departure!”
