GREED: ALL FOR WHAT?

The transportation was not physical transportation, so it doesn't involve space. It is a spiritual transmission, so it is instantaneous between every clone joined in unity. Most importantly, it can avoid the void universe to the greatest extent.

The green elf took the spark of consciousness and examined it carefully.

"So you think this is what a divine spark should be?" He asked Soverick.

Soverick explained, "Yes. Aeternus's evolution has made me certain of it. A divine spark will have certain aspects that this doesn't have. But the spark of consciousness is sure to help you evolve if used correctly."

The Tree fathers agreed with that. "Either way, it is certain that I will be able to become a divine spark with this. That is all that matters."

Legion began preparing for the Tree Father's evolution. Aeternus alone doesn't give them the confidence needed to take the dragon clone away from the dragon's home world. They want another source of Supreme power to shore up their chances of success.

Meanwhile, Legion-unity spent some more time roaming the spiritual dimension before they left. They discovered that the clones of the great mother began hunting each other.

Each one of them thinks they are the great mother now that they are independent of the spark of consciousness. And just like the previous great mother, they want to subjugate everything and use it for their purpose. So they attacked each other.

They have to do that even if they don't want to because they have lost access to the Phoenix race. That means they don't have unlimited energy anymore and are dying. The other clones are the largest source of energy around, hence the need to hunt them.

Legion-unity thought about hunting the clones of the great mother, but they didn't do so. It will take a lot of time to do so, and the clones will be dying during the time it takes to find them. That means the clones would have shrunk by the time they ate them, so the return is not worth their time.

Instead, they let them be and plan to return to the spiritual dimension again in the future to see if any of them grow a new spark of consciousness.

If there is any entity in the spiritual dimension that can evolve, it would be the clones of the great mother. After all, they have also comprehended the law of the soul. All they need is some divinity.

Divinity will be very difficult to get now that the Phoenix race is no more, but since the great mother succeeded before, so can they. Legion will just return when they do to pick up the fruit of their labour just like they did to the original true mother.

That concluded their mission in the Spiritual Dimension. Legion-7 had a vendetta against the great mother, but they didn't attack her just for revenge. They were after her spark of consciousness, and they gave it to the tree father, who is working on fusing his domains into one. This is for his evolution into a divine spark.

The fusion of the domains is not easy at all. The domains in a single avatar can be fused, but not the domains from the avatars in different planes. It is because they came from different Authorities of the Celestial Supreme.

Their options were to wait until they could control the shards of power to make the fusion possible or to acquire the Authorities of the Celestial Supreme from the different planes by attacking them.

Both options are feasible. But the first option will take time, and so will the second option. The second option will also cost them a lot of effort and create a lot of enemies during the invasion.

They didn't attack because they were afraid of gods. Aeternus can attack the planes and get the Authorities of the Celestial Supreme, but not every plane is weak, like the Gatling plane.

There will be Supreme Origin gods to attack him, and world gods who will surely be offended by his attack.

Normally, they wouldn't care about that last part, but they have already offended one world god. It is not wise to add more to it. That decision has only become more prudent with the knowledge they just acquired about the first sage lurking around.

Plus, Aeternus is busy hunting demon gods. That is a better use of his time. He will grow stronger, while the Tree Father will also grow stronger. All without any risk.

Fortunately, they have the crown of dominion, and they know that it can bring about an evolution to that level. All they have to do is sacrifice their scattered sources of power to it.

If they do, and they provide the crown of dominion a mold like the Will of a plane, then they will certainly evolve into something on the level of that mold.

They found out that no matter how much they sacrificed to the crown of dominion, if they didn't give it something to unlock their potential with, it would only grant them more power in the form of Authority, but not evolution.

It was the case of Aeternus. He sacrificed many crowns and several Authorities of the Celestial Supreme to the crown of dominion, but he didn't evolve until he sacrificed the Will of a plane to it.

The Will of a plane is not rare, but it is very difficult to acquire. It is much more difficult than the Authority of the Celestial Supreme.

Every plane has a Will of the plane and an Authority of the Celestial Supreme, but hunting a Will of the plane is not possible without the right tools.

The Will of a plane is elusive. While it is easy for one to awaken a Will of the plane and make it select a child of the plane, it is highly unlikely to make a Celestial Supreme become the child of the plane so that they can harvest it easily.
