A different world game? A different world game!

"Further down..."

Kronos pointed to the top of his head.

"These are the temple masters who wield specific powers. They represent the pillars of the pantheon, and each of them is a powerful being."

"For example, the 'Temple of War' that governs war, the 'Temple of Wisdom' that understands all things, the 'Temple of Life' that nurtures and protects life, the 'Temple of Nature' that controls the great power of nature, and the 'Temple of Art' that guides civilization and beauty."

"There are a total of five powerful temple masters, each guarding a region."

The master of the Temple of War is the Titan God of War.

The master of the Temple of Wisdom is the [Deep Spring Wisdom Light Spirit God].

The master of the Temple of Life is the Titan God of Life.

The master of the Temple of Nature is the [Earth Comforter].

The master of the Temple of Art is the [Path of Civilization Guidance].

After simply learning the names of these five temple masters, Kana was able to roughly guess the difference in their strength.

For example, the master of this Temple of War is not simply a god of war; he has the prefix "Titan" in his name.

If we change this prefix to "human," it could be interpreted as the god of war for humanity. However, the problem is that humans only exist in the world of Kana and are not a powerful or well-known species.

Humanity's god of war might only be able to maintain a weak divine power, at most a medium divine power.

However, the Titan's god of war was able to maintain a powerful divine force, with this divine name as the main indicator, clearly indicating that the power of war still held the primary authority over the opposing side.

As for the Temple Master of Wisdom, Kana felt that he was probably the weakest of the five temple masters.

Because it is not wisdom, but wisdom, this suffix is ​​clearly a subordinate branch of wisdom, and there is a deep spring in front of it.

That is undoubtedly the rule of water. Combined with a subordinate rule of authority arising from the mixture of natural environment.

Both exist simultaneously; it can only be said that they simply endured until they reached the level of powerful divine power.

In the realm of powerful divine power, he shouldn't be considered too strong, or perhaps even at the bottom.

But even the one at the bottom possesses immense divine power.

The rank of the third Temple of Life is roughly similar to that of the Temple of War.

But perhaps it should be a little stronger, since the realm of life is stronger than the realm of war.

As for the master of the fourth temple of nature, it's hard to guess.

Because there is no prefix, the scope of its impact is very wide.

The other party must possess astral authority and have obtained astral access to some authority.

The name suggests a power to soothe the earth, something that is prevalent in many worlds.

It is a very broad term for an environment.

Therefore, their strength is definitely not weak.

As for the last one, Kana believes that it should be the strongest one.

Because the prefix directly means civilization, the guiding light of civilization.

Civilization encompasses so much; the other party must be among the oldest of the Titans.

Yes, because it is very likely that they gradually acquired this power as the Titan world developed.

As Kronos mentioned earlier, when the Titan world first began to develop, the astral plane was in chaos. At that time, chaos and evil were in the lead, while order was a chaotic mess of everyone fighting their own battles.

In the process of bringing order and civilization, perhaps such rules of authority came into being.

After a brief moment of thought, Kana continued listening.

“And I,” Kronos puffed out his chest, a fighting spirit burning in his single eye.

"That is none other than the Titan God of War, Kronos, the Flesh Overlord, who belongs to the Temple of War and is in charge of [physical strength], [combat skills], and [life resilience]!"

He looked at Kana and laughed heartily.

War means fighting, but fighting does not necessarily mean war.

It also has the suffix "Titan," so it should indeed be classified under the Temple of War.

"So, Kana, don't worry. Once we reach the Titan world, I will personally take you to see the great Father God!"
"He will surely appreciate you, such a young rising star of order, also bearing the name of 'savior'!"

He raised the empty glass again, facing Kana, as if the precious "Titan Sun" still remained in the glass.

"We've rested enough, and the mellow wine has transformed into strength. So, are we ready to set off, my friend? Let us embark on our journey home, to the sacred land of Titan!"

"My pleasure."

Kronos slammed his enormous hand down on Luminar’s crystal shoulder with a sharp, metallic clang, and a mischievous glint flashed in his single eye.

He looked at the other person and said, "Luminar, my old crystal core friend! It's rare to get together like this, so why don't we take this opportunity to go back to the Titan world with you?"

"You haven't been there yet, have you? This is a good opportunity to experience the grandeur of my hometown, and it will save you from spending all your time holed up in Star Ring City fiddling with those shiny crystalline lumps."

The main issue is that if it was Kronos who invited him alone, it would seem a bit strange without any apparent reason.

Moreover, an invitation from a deity could mean staying for decades or even centuries.

But with Kana as an excuse, and considering that Kana certainly won't be staying for long, inviting him now shouldn't be a problem.

The Luminar crystal facets turned slightly toward Kronos, and the internal energy flow flickered calmly, emitting a steady hum.

"I haven't actually documented the customs and landscapes of the Titan world, nor have I witnessed the magical fluctuations and the concentration of order there."

"Well, we should definitely go once. After all, it's the stronghold of the world of order and the home of the Titan pantheon."

I'll take advantage of this opportunity, since I don't have much to do lately anyway.

Kronos grinned with satisfaction.

Then, as if remembering something, his rugged one-eyed man turned to Luminar and reminded him with a hint of seriousness.

"But let me make this clear beforehand: when you get to me, you'd better tone down your 'research spirit'."

"Don't get itchy hands and try to dissect and analyze the structures of my fellow clansmen."

"And don't come back and start building a bunch of iron lumps that look exactly like my Titan brothers. That's not just provocation, that's tearing your face off and stomping on it. Understand, old friend?"

"Redundancy reminder".

The light on the facets of Luminar produced a barely perceptible fluctuation, like rolling one's eyes, but the voice remained clear and steady.

"The basic code of conduct database has been updated. 'In-depth dissection of Titan lifeforms' and 'Construction of highly realistic Titan constructs' have been marked as 'Prohibited behaviors - extremely high diplomatic risks', and the trigger conditions have been automatically locked. No need to repeat them."

Kana stood to the side, a hint of curiosity flashing in his blood-silver eyes. Normally, Luminar wouldn't give such a strange, mechanical answer.

The brief acquaintance allowed Cana to realize that Luminal would only give such a response when he was experiencing an emotional change.

This data-driven response is often used to express impatience or other emotions.

Luminar's "impatient" response and Kronos's "unpleasant memories" tone clearly hint at a story behind them.

"Haha, hahaha!"

Kronos met Cana's probing gaze and burst into another loud laugh, with a knowing sneer.

"It seems our new friend is interested! Good, good! Anyway, the time on the road is just enough for me to tell you about the many 'foolish' things that this 'wise' craftsman god did back then."

"Let's go, let's go somewhere else and have a proper chat. We have plenty of time."

Inside the massive ship fortress, the space is cleverly divided.

After experiencing the rugged, primitive deck, the magnificent arena, and the rustic obsidian banquet hall, the three now found themselves in a hall with a completely different decor.

This is the "reception room" that Kronos mentioned.

In contrast to the overall sense of power of the boat, this place is covered with a soft, deep blue carpet that resembles solidified stardust, and the walls are a warm, jade-colored hue that exudes a gentle glow.

The large, comfortable sofas were no ordinary objects; their frames were made of dark gold metal, and the filling was a kind of highly elastic star velvet that flowed with starlight, perfectly fitting the physiques of the three gods.

A soothing melody of energy flowed through the air, played silently by a wind elemental maiden in a corner.

Several maids with softer features, like stars formed from starlight, stood quietly. They were slender and their faces were indistinct, but they exuded an aura of peace.

The tray in her hand held drinks that exuded a refreshing fruity aroma and shimmered with a faint light, clearly taken into consideration Luminar's needs.

Cana and Luminar took their seats, while Kronos shamelessly sank into the sofa in the main seat, sinking in almost completely.

He let out a comfortable sigh, then looked at Luminar, his single eye filled with a mischievous smile, and began to speak:
"Hey, Kana, don't be fooled by his 'polite' demeanor right now."

"When this guy first appeared, his brain was harder than his crystal, as hard as stone. His thinking and logic? Pure as freshly purified astral energy, without a trace of 'human touch'."

"They're just like those 'empty shells of divinity' who are born of nature and only know how to operate according to rules!"

He deliberately emphasized the phrase "empty shell of divinity," clearly showing his disdain for such existence.

Kana knew this word; it was a derogatory term used to refer to gods who only possessed divinity.

When life ascends to godhood, it can essentially be considered a different species from its original form.

Because at this point, life possesses rules, and even masters the rules.

But the rules are rigid and unforgiving.

If you take control of your life, you can still have your own emotions and apply the rules appropriately according to your own preferences.

However, if one is controlled by the rules and possesses so-called divinity, one becomes a cold, rule-like deity.

This situation only arises for those who want to acquire powers they don't already possess, or who have gone astray on the path to godhood.

Such deities are few, but certainly not few either.

However, most deities are still in a stage where divinity and emotion are intertwined.

But such a deity, possessing only divinity and no longer having its own emotions, is contemptuously referred to as a mere shell.

Because what's inside is no longer oneself, but the rules.

It's just a machine for enforcing the rules.

The Luminar facets shone with a steady light, as if Cronus wasn't referring to himself.

And the story of Cronus continues.

"And what happened?" Kronos slapped his thigh. "The stupid things this guy did could fill the walls of Mount Titan."

"The most famous thing is that when he first appeared, he was still a weak god and hadn't been around for long. Somehow, he set his sights on the territory of the famous mid-level god—[Alchemist] Alduin."

"That old man's alchemical magic kingdom is a renowned treasure trove of knowledge in the astral plane!"

Kronos mimicked Luminar's possible state at that time, his voice becoming completely flat.

"'A high-value alchemical knowledge database has been detected in the target area. Execution of acquisition procedure.' And then what? This guy! He directly tore through the spatial barrier and brazenly barged into the core of someone else's country."

Without saying a word, he uprooted the 'Tower of All Laws,' which had cost him countless hours of effort and embodied the wisdom of generations of alchemists—that thing was one of Alduin's symbols of divine power!—and stuffed it into his spatial pocket.

"The whole process was clean, efficient, and completely oblivious to anyone else!"

Luminar flickered slightly beside him, as if he wanted to say something.

He wanted to say that what the other person was saying was just speculation, since he didn't have any friends at that time.

It's even less likely that they would know Kronos.

But that's exactly what he thought at the time, and he even said those words.

Cana's eyes twitched slightly as he listened. This operation was indeed... mechanical and direct enough.

"This isn't over yet!" Kronos spat as he spoke, looking both angry and amused.

"After our Lord Luminar finished this job, he didn't run away! He just found a fragment of an asteroid on the edge of the Alduin Kingdom, and immediately released the Book Tower to 'scan' and 'study' it one by one."

"What's even more amazing is that he would occasionally appear suddenly next to a great alchemist who was conducting an experiment, grab the person by the collar, and ask in his icy tone."

"'The formula on page 137, line 5, contains a logical contradiction in the energy loop redundancy optimization. Explanation.' They're completely treating Auduin like air! Wouldn't you say this is like taking a dump on a god's neck and then asking for toilet paper?"

As for why Kronos knew so much about it...

Because there is a related book that tells the story of this event.

It was written by a god who possesses the authority to tell stories.

The Luminar facets finally flickered, seemingly retrieving the record, emitting a soft hum.

"...Database record: At the time, it was determined that Auduin was not in the highest alert state, and that knowledge acquisition was given higher priority than potential conflict risk assessment. There was a bias vulnerability in the logic chain. It has been corrected."

It seems to be a dark history indeed, as they've started using data-driven responses to support their claims.

"Ha! Correction? You almost got corrected into crystal dust!"

Kronos snorted, "In the end, it was that old man Alduin who personally took action and caught this lawless 'knowledge bandit'."

"That old guy was furious. He wanted to crush that hard crystal core head and remake it."

"Later, I guess they realized that this guy was essentially a clueless 'rule machine,' so they suppressed their anger and reluctantly started 'lecturing' him, teaching him what 'politeness' meant and what 'human relationships exist beyond rules' meant!" (End of Chapter)
