A different world game? A different world game!

The god-king in the temple approved of what Kana was going to do.

His voice carried both praise and determination.

"Go ahead, child! Take the lead and start this bloody battle."

"I will have my children assist you when necessary, and provide more support and deterrence at critical junctures."

The God-King is the leader of the Order faction, and fighting the Abyss and curbing chaos is a mission engraved in the very bones of the Titan pantheon.

In the last large-scale spread of the Abyss Battlefield, the Titan pantheon was the absolute main force.

Although they didn't initiate it, they are undoubtedly the backbone of the organization.

Fighting the Abyss and maintaining order is the Titans' duty.

“Perfect,” the God-King’s tone turned cold. “After so many years of silence, some beings in the Abyss seem to have forgotten the pain of being punished by the iron fist of order, and are starting to stir again. It’s time to give them another warning.”

This is both support for Kana and a strategic move against the Abyss.

In recent millennia, the abyss has become increasingly prominent, and the number of its layers has increased countless times over the millennia.

Their invasions grew increasingly rampant, and they began to spread demonic chaos along with the flow of power.

Clearly, Abyss has become accustomed to the pressure brought by the ten-layer bloodbath battlefield and has more time, energy, and even power to devote to other areas.

"As for how far you can ultimately win this bloody battle, and how much energy you can acquire..."

The God-King's gaze fell upon Kana with expectation.

"Then it depends on your own wisdom, courage, and strength. Titans will create opportunities for you, but you are the protagonist of the battlefield."

After all, he was the god-king of the Titans, and he had to fight for something for his race and his world, rather than wholeheartedly helping others.

He is a god-king, not a babysitter.

And this kind of help is already quite good.

A great weight lifted from Kana's heart, and he bowed deeply once again with utmost solemnity.

"Thank you for your support, Great God-King. The friendship of the Titan pantheon will be forever remembered in the Holy Stone Plane."

He raised his head, a hint of inquiry still in his eyes. The God-King keenly noticed this.

"Hmm? You seem to still have a question in your mind? What is it?"

Kana took a deep breath and asked the question that was the last and most important part of his thirst for knowledge on this trip.

"It is the void itself, the great God-King. Although I have learned a great deal from Lord Kronos and Lord Luminar, and obtained some information from Star Ring City, my understanding is still one-sided."

“I yearn to understand…the more essential and comprehensive truth about the void. I hope to gain the deepest insights from you, the great being who personally led the world to break free from the void.”

The God-King nodded slightly, a hint of approval on his face. The deeper our understanding of the unknown enemy, the greater our chances of victory. It's good that the child has this mindset.

"This is not a troublesome matter."

The God-King's voice deepened, carrying a sense of vicissitude that seemed to trace back endless time, and His gaze seemed to pierce through the temple.

Looking towards the deepest, darkest corner of the astral plane, he began to tell Kana about the greater and more essential mysteries of the void...

The God-King's gaze seemed to pierce through the veil of time and space, lost in distant memories, his deep eyes reflecting immeasurable vicissitudes of time.

After a moment, his gaze refocused on Kana, his gentle demeanor carrying an indescribable weight.

“This will take some time,” the God-King’s voice was deep and magnetic, “and you, though you have a request of us, are still a distinguished guest. The Titan world will not neglect a friend who has come from afar.”

Before he finished speaking, the God-King casually waved his hand, which was covered in a faint glow.

In an instant, light and shadow shifted within the hall, and hazy figures coalesced into form in the soft glow.

These figures are not physical entities, but rather smooth, regular aggregates, their forms swaying and undulating, exuding a non-human purity.

They appeared silently, steadily holding up a tray that shimmered with light.

Almost simultaneously, a long table, smooth and lustrous like jade, appeared out of thin air in front of Kana. The table had delicate textures and exuded a tranquil atmosphere.

Immediately afterwards, several antique-style stools, exuding a sense of strength, appeared beside the table.

Kronos and Talia were clearly used to this.

Kronos grinned and plopped down without any hesitation, his massive body making a slight creak on the stool.

Talia gracefully lifted her skirt and sat down, her movements fluid and graceful.

Cana and Luminar exchanged a glance and sat down in the same manner.

The jade stool was warm and comfortable, with a unique touch that seemed to soothe the mind.

The waiters, composed of elements of rules, moved with light and precise movements, placing the delicacies and fine wines from the trays onto the jade table one by one.

Instantly, a rich aroma, mixed with the unique mellow flavor of the divine brew, filled the air, making one's mouth water.

A huge, golden-brown, juicy animal leg; golden divine wine shimmering with stardust; and mountains of exotic fruits of all kinds...

A sumptuous feast for the gods has been prepared.

"bring it on."

The God-King's voice carried an undeniable, bold enthusiasm, and a more pronounced smile appeared on his face.

"Savor the fine wines and delicacies of the Titan world, fill your stomach, and then listen to the stories of this old man, and hear me flaunt my old acquaintances, hahahaha!"

His laughter was hearty, full of the uninhibited and unrestrained spirit unique to the Titans.

This is the Titan pantheon.

Or perhaps it's a characteristic of the Titan race itself; they have an extreme fondness for banquets and lavish feasts.

Even the gods are no exception to this.

It's hard to say whether the gods influenced mortals, or whether the habits of mortals influenced the gods in turn.

Kronos could no longer contain himself. He reached out and grabbed the huge golden cup, which was almost as thick as his arm, and gulped it down.

His Adam's apple bobbed, and he let out a satisfied sigh.

He then reached out and tore off a huge, sizzling, and fragrant roasted leg of meat.

He devoured the food without a care for appearances, his mouth greasy with oil, and he even mumbled praises.

"That's great! Father God's stuff is really awesome!"

Seeing this, Cana and Luminar followed suit. Cana picked up the wine glass in front of him, the golden liquid that shimmered with stardust rippled gently in the glass, and he took a small sip, just like Cronus.

An indescribable, rich, and powerful life energy exploded in my mouth, slid down my throat, and a warm current flowed through my whole body, invigorating my spirit.

He tore off a small piece of perfectly roasted tender meat and put it in his mouth. The meat was tender and juicy, containing pure energy.

Luminar, on the other hand, appeared more refined, sipping the divine brew that would disappear from his face and merge into the crystals.

His gaze swept over each of the precious items on the table with great interest, as if analyzing their composition.

Since this supreme god-king is sincerely treating them to hospitality, then gladly accepting this kindness and indulging in these rare divine feasts is undoubtedly the best way to thank their host.

Seeing that they had relaxed and begun to enjoy the meal, the God-King finally showed a satisfied expression and nodded slightly.

Before anyone knew it, a golden cup, shining with the same dazzling light, was already in the hands of the God-King.

The cup instantly filled with that golden divine brew.

The God-King boldly raised the golden cup, gestured to the crowd, then tilted his head back and gulped down the entire liquid in one go, displaying the Titan's generous nature.

He put down the golden cup, casually wiped the corner of his mouth with his hand, then suppressed his smile, his expression turned solemn, and he began to tell the story concerning the origin of the star realm.

"Void."

The God-King's voice, like rolling thunder, echoed through the hall, carrying a majesty that seemed to see right through everything:

"That is the ultimate manifestation of the rules of destruction. The rules of the world are vast and numerous, a fact that you must have deeply understood after you became gods."

Upon hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement.

This is indeed a fundamental understanding after entering the realm of gods.

“These rules,” the God-King continued, his fingers tapping unconsciously on the armrest of his throne.

"There are also differences in size and strength, which is beyond doubt. Natural elements, the creation of all things, the continuation and flow of life... and so on."

"These are very basic, yet very powerful rules. They are conceived and flourish in every corner of the astral plane, supporting the operation of countless worlds."

In short, the rules that the God-King is listing at this moment are usually classified as basic rules in the cognitive system of the gods.

After all, for all living beings in the world, even those at the legendary level, the core of their cultivation has already begun the journey of comprehending the rules.

"These rules are fundamental, yet incredibly powerful."

The God-King's tone carried a hint of emotion.

"These are the basic concepts that govern the world, and they form the cornerstone and embodiment of the existence of most things."

"That is precisely why they are so difficult to completely master. Even mastering just one of them is enough to propel a god to the pinnacle of great divine power!"

At this point, the God-King slightly raised his right hand, palm facing upward.

An indescribably brilliant light, as if compressed and condensed by an invisible force, instantly appeared in his palm, transforming into a warm, steadily rotating "sphere of light".

The light emanating from this sphere was clearly vast and powerful, enough to illuminate the entire divine realm, but when Kana and the others looked at it, they did not feel any glare. Instead, they could clearly see inside the sphere, which was about the size of a marble, as if countless stars were being born and dying, and light was surging.

"Look."

The God-King's voice was calm yet contained supreme power: "This is one of the fundamental rules I have mastered—the existence called 'light' among all elements and phenomena in nature."

Indeed, as the leader of the Order faction and the Supreme God-King of the Titan pantheon, one of the most core and fundamental rules he possesses is "Light".

But this is by no means merely physical light in nature; rather, it encompasses all forms of "light," whether real or abstract, definite or illusory.

Hope is the color of light, tomorrow is the expectation of light, and the future is the illumination of light.

Heat is emitted as light, vision captures light, and everything in the world is, in a sense, closely related to "light." In fact, everything can be seen as a different expression of light.

This god-king wields the all-encompassing source of light.

Whether it is light representing various superficial intentions in abstract concepts or physical light that exists in objective reality, all are under its authority.

This mastery of fundamental rules, with its broad scope and profound implications, means that he can use it as a foundation to infinitely extend, master, and derive even more powerful forces.

This is the unparalleled power of fundamental rules.

However, as a powerful god-king, a great god standing at the pinnacle of the astral plane, his mastery of light was clearly not limited to just "light".

“Besides,” the God-King’s voice pulled everyone back to reality, “there is also the ‘Creation’ in the fundamental rules. This rule is so powerful that even I can only grasp a part of its essence.”

This is not a secret, but common knowledge known to many gods in the astral plane, and even many powerful figures of the legendary class.

The rules governing the God-King inherently include the crucial element of "creation".

"Destruction is the opposite of creation."

The God-King's tone suddenly became heavy, and the air in the hall seemed to freeze.

"Destruction is absolute destruction, the essential force that returns everything to nothingness."

His sharp gaze swept over every deity present, and he posed a question that went straight to the heart of the matter.

"Have you ever pondered why evil gods are always the embodiment of evil? Why are their minds filled with chaos and destruction? Why do they always exhibit a twisted, insane, and abnormal state?"

Upon hearing this soul-searching question, everyone exchanged bewildered glances. Kronos slowed his chewing, Talia frowned in thought, and Kana and Luminar also showed thoughtful expressions.

Countless reasons could flash through their minds in an instant—greed, chaos, hatred of order…

But to pinpoint the most fundamental and original source is difficult to express in a short time.

The God-King did not wait for their answer, but slowly revealed the answer: "The root cause lies in the rules themselves."

His voice carried the power to pierce through the fog, clearly reaching the ears of every deity.

"From the moment you ignite the divine fire, raise the divine throne, and become gods, you are constantly fighting against the rules."

“You crave to master the rules and wield their power; but the rules themselves are like living beings with their own will, constantly trying to influence, shape, and even… assimilate you.”

This was something that every deity present could deeply understand, without a doubt.

Whether it's Cana, Kronos, or Talia and Luminar, they have all experienced or are still experiencing this invisible pull and struggle.

This is a trial for the gods.

It is impossible to possess power without accepting the side effects that come with it.

And this is the side effect of power, especially for gods. (End of Chapter)
