Inside the great hall, the God-King looked at Kana.

He pointed at Kana, his voice clear and powerful, like a declaration.

"It is you, Savior Kana. It is through your wisdom, strength, indomitable will, and... that unique gift from the depths of your soul, that you have successfully woven and sublimated this uniqueness of the world into such an unprecedented new set of rules!"

A gift from the depths of the soul?
Kana's heart skipped a beat as he keenly caught the word.

What best fits this description?

The answer was almost obvious—his identity as a time traveler and his memories.

Indeed, faced with the great divine power that sees through all things, there was no need to hide the so-called identity of a time traveler.

The words of the God-King were like a warm current, instantly soothing the last trace of worry hidden in his heart.

But the God-King respected his little secret and only gave him a slight reminder.

“Don’t worry,” the God-King seemed to see through Kana’s momentary emotional fluctuations, his tone gentle and tolerant, like the comforting words of an elder.

"The astral plane is so vast and boundless that countless wonders are created by dimensional collisions and spacetime ripples. Such phenomena are not uncommon."

"Above the astral plane, on a grander scale, collisions always produce some tiny cracks."

"Your appearance was a coincidence, but the will of the stars accepted it, and it became part of your destiny. The arrangements in the dark have their own fate, so there's no need to worry about it."

The God-King's words were like a reassuring pill, completely dispelling any remaining worries Kana had about his identity.

His appearance is a natural phenomenon in the grand picture of the astral plane; he is accepted and recognized, and there is no need for him to feel uneasy or special about it.

"Your title of 'savior' comes from the fact that you have woven and created such a new and vibrant set of rules."

"And the will of the astral plane has clearly determined that the power of this rule is sufficient for your world to survive the impending cataclysm in the void."

Even if you survive in a state of "merely clinging to life", as long as the will of the world remains and the spark of civilization is not extinguished, the title of "savior" will be crowned on your head ahead of time.

The God-King's voice carried an unquestionable majesty: "This is the honor you deserve, child. Accept it as it is."

Kana was filled with complex emotions: the excitement of being recognized, the weight of responsibility, and above all, the determination that the road ahead, though difficult, had been illuminated.

He took a deep breath and, with the utmost solemnity, bowed respectfully, placing his hand on his chest: "Thank you for your recognition and guidance, great God-King."

“I didn’t teach you anything,” the God-King shook his head slightly, his tone carrying the expectation of an elder for an outstanding junior.

"It's just some superficial praise. Ultimately, you have to walk the path yourself."

After speaking, the gentle expression on the God-King's face vanished, replaced by seriousness and solemnity.

His gaze fell upon Kana as if it were a tangible object, as if he wanted to see clearly the deepest desires of his soul.

“Then, child,” the God-King’s voice boomed like a bell, directly questioning Kana’s heart, “I have clearly understood your situation, your determination, and your path.”

"Now, tell me, what question do you seek answers to after crossing the astral plane, coming to the world of Titan, and finally standing here?"

"What kind of help do you need from the Titan pantheon?"

Kana understood what the God-King meant.

It is impossible to come to the Titan world seeking direct military intervention against the Void, as this violates the rules of the astral plane.

But here, he can obtain crucial information support and assistance that is not directly related to the origin of his world, such as strategic cooperation in fighting the Abyss and knowledge sharing.

Kana nodded vigorously, met the God-King's gaze, and clearly stated his final request.

"I firmly believe that by relying on the 'data-driven' rules and the path I have planned, I am capable of leading the Holy Stone Plane to survive the clutches of the Void."

"but……"

His voice lowered, carrying a hint of heaviness, "The price would be far too high. The foundation of the world would be severely damaged, and countless lives would be lost... Of those who survived, perhaps not even one in ten thousand would remain."

This is already an extremely conservative estimate.

The Sacred Stone Plane is vast and rich, and the number of intelligent life forms living there is enormous. Although there is no precise count, the number is definitely over one billion.

After a Pyrrhic victory in the Void Cataclysm, how many individuals will ultimately survive?

Kana estimated that the odds were between one in ten thousand and one in one hundred thousand, with the possibility of exceeding one hundred thousand being extremely slim.

This is such a tiny number compared to a base of one billion.

Not to mention the world is in ruins after being devastated, and it will take a long time to rebuild.

Even if the world recovers and enters a golden age, the population decline is so severe that it will likely take another one or two hundred years, or even longer, to regain its vitality and return to prosperity.

On an astral scale, this is naturally brief, but for the survivors on Earth, it will be another long and arduous generation.

Too many people have sacrificed their lives.

Kana could not accept it.

Because he is just that greedy.

Initially, he thought that just surviving was good enough, but as he grew stronger, he wanted to live better and live longer.

It was this greed that led him step by step to where he is today.

He clenched his fist tightly, and his divine body emitted a faint light due to the turmoil in his heart.

He is a "greedy" person!
He longed to achieve the greatest success with the least sacrifice.

Although for a leader who bears the fate of the world, the idea of ​​pursuing a "perfect ending" may seem too idealistic, or even irrational.

But this is precisely what he holds dear, and it is the source of his strength.

The tragic fates he had witnessed and tried to change, the smiles and lives he wanted to protect...

He came specifically for that "happy ending".

This is his absolute, unwavering goal.

So, only ten thousand or one hundred thousand lives survived?
Absolutely unacceptable.

For him, merely existing as a "lingering existence" was a failure.

Failures that occur despite current efforts.

As soon as Kana uttered these resounding words, the entire hall fell into an even deeper silence, as if the space itself had frozen.

The air seemed to grow heavy.

Kronos, Talia, and Luminar all involuntarily turned to look at Kana.

When Kana uttered those words with unwavering resolve, the unyielding will that emanated from the depths of his soul, and the absolute confidence in his own path implied behind that will, even appeared to Kronos and the others as arrogance and pride—a feeling they perceived with crystal clarity.

That wasn't just empty boasting or blind slogans; he genuinely and sincerely believed it.

Even after traveling through the astral plane and learning about the terror of the void and the tragic fate of past worlds, he still stubbornly and persistently clung to this seemingly impossible idea.

He felt he had the ability and the obligation to help his world emerge from that devastating void catastrophe in a better way and at a lower cost.

For Cronus and Luminar, who had witnessed countless worlds struggle, collapse, and ultimately turn to dust in the void.

Cana's belief, when contrasted with the harsh realities of the astral plane, appears particularly... arrogant.

This sense of "arrogance" was amplified, especially when Kana conveyed such a strong and unquestionable determination.

"Hahahahaha——!!!"

Just then, a burst of bold, powerful, and joyful laughter suddenly erupted, like a thunderclap in the silent hall.

The laughter was so loud and so joyful that it not only resounded throughout the entire hall, but also spread outwards like a tangible sound wave, causing the energy of the divine realm to resonate and vibrate in response.

The temple's pillars seemed to hum, and the starlight from the dome flowed and accelerated accordingly.

The God-King... was excited!

The pure emotional fluctuations of the great divine power instantly infected the entire divine realm, and even the very essence of the entire Titan world seemed to feel this exhilarating joy.

On the primary plane, all life involuntarily raised their heads, gazing towards the direction of the divine realm, their hearts filled with inexplicable joy and excitement.

The seeds buried deep in the earth seemed to be urged by an invisible force, eagerly pushing through the soil, sprouting tender green shoots, and stretching towards the sky.

The whole world came alive and flourished in the joy of the God-King.

"Good! Good! Good!"

The God-King exclaimed "Good!" three times, his voice resounding throughout the universe. He leaned forward slightly from his throne, his eyes bursting forth with light as brilliant as stars.

"What an arrogant boy! No wonder you are a young god recognized by the will of the stars and given the title of 'savior'! I see the pride in your heart, the 'arrogance' you deserve!"

"This is precisely the flame necessary to challenge fate and create miracles!"

"You will become a great king!"

The excitement and joy in the God-King's tone were so clear, as fiery as molten lava.

His gaze was fixed intently on Kana, full of encouragement and appreciation.

"Then, speak!"

The God-King's voice carried a heroic spirit that said, "Whatever you want, I will allow you to try."

Tell me exactly what you need! I will give you the most accurate guidance!

Kana felt the overwhelming emotion of the God-King, and the last trace of doubt in his heart vanished.

He straightened his back, his eyes blazing, and made his final request clearly and firmly.

"I hope that the new 'datafication' rules I have mastered can become the dominant core rules at the last moment when my world faces the invasion of the Void, completely covering and strengthening my world, and becoming the main force in fighting against the Void."

"This requires the rules to be fully 'activated' at that moment and cover the entire domain, forming a complete rule network."

The God-King instantly understood the key difficulty.

His enormous head nodded slightly: "The operation of everything in the world, even the spread and manifestation of rules, requires immense energy as its driving force."

"For a newly created rule to forcibly take over and become the mainstay of the world's rules, even in its birthplace, during a critical moment, it requires unimaginable rule energy that far exceeds the norm as support."

Because this is a gradual process, even on an interstellar scale, it generally takes one to two thousand years.

Not to mention that the world is currently facing a void, and all energy and power are being focused on external barriers.

The God-King's gaze seemed to pierce through space, seeing the not-so-abundant energy reserves of the Holy Stone Plane.

"For your world, the energy required to maintain the existing rules is already carefully calculated, let alone the extra energy that would be enough to support the instantaneous burst of a new main rule."

"Unless... you want to drain your own world's essence before the void invades?"

The God-King had barely finished speaking when he shook his head slightly, a look of understanding on his face.

"No...you seem to have come from the other side of the abyss..."

His gaze seemed to trace back to Karna's journey.

"It seems that the chaos of the abyss and that eternal blood war have come into your view... I see. You are active in the abyss, even going deep into it. It seems that you have a very clear goal and solution."

When the Great God-King saw through his own thoughts and planned direction, Kana felt neither surprise nor annoyance, but rather a sense of relief at being understood.

He met the God-King's gaze and nodded frankly, confirming the God-King's deduction: "Yes, great God-King. The Bloodbath in the Abyss is the 'source of energy' I have chosen."

"You want to personally take to the field, win a crucial victory in the bloody battle, forcefully push the battlefield deeper into the abyss, and even seize a section of the abyss as 'spoils of war'..."

The God-King's voice carried an all-knowing calm.

"...Thus, from the 'feedback' of the Abyss's will and the spoils of war, you can obtain the immense energy sufficient to support your 'datafied' rules to cover the entire domain at critical moments."

"The idea itself is not wrong; it is a path that can definitely succeed."

The God-King's tone shifted, becoming somewhat solemn.

"But, child, your window of opportunity... is too short."

You must accomplish this massive war objective in such a short time, before the shadow of the void completely engulfs you, defeat the lord of the abyss, and win enough victories…

"The difficulty involved is far greater than you imagine. This is no easy idea; every step is accompanied by enormous risks and uncertainties."

However, it was precisely because of these immense difficulties and the tight timeframe that Kana traveled thousands of miles to the Titan world to seek the wisdom and support of this leader of the Order side.

What he needs is not necessarily direct military intervention, but rather strategic guidance, intelligence assistance, and the influence he may gain at critical moments.

The God-King's eyes, as deep as the Milky Way, shimmered with light. After a moment's thought, he made his decision.

His enormous head nodded slightly again, with an undeniable majesty.

"Suppressing the expansion and arrogance of the Abyss is the duty of the pantheon of order, especially our Titan pantheon."

"Since this struggle can help you, and give more life to a world struggling under the shadow of the void, then... let's begin now."

The God-King's voice boomed like a war drum, filled with power. (End of Chapter)
