Chapter 556: Chapter 119: The Great Dao is Ruthless, Born into an Other Cosmos

"The ones with weaker combat Power stay behind? The stronger ones are sent out?"

"We’re all on the Path of the Pillar God. Isn’t this kind of differential treatment a bit much?"

"If being sent out comes with no extra benefits and only serves to skip the early stages of the promotion process, then it’s truly unfair."

The Mother of All Things was clearly resistant to the God of Thousand Faces’ explanation.

It wasn’t just her who felt resistant after learning all this.

Lince felt the same way.

Even without the Cosmos’s will forcibly elevating him, reaching the Authority Level Peak would have just been a matter of time.

It would have happened naturally, one way or another.

As for the greatest tribulation in ascending to Pillar God—being besieged by a large number of Authority Level Deities of the same Law system?

To Lince, they were no different from fodder.

Ordinary Authority Level beings of the same system were like ants compared to him.

As for the Clan Authority Level? They were stronger, but to Lince, who possessed a dual-system Law, they were still fodder.

And the Ancient God Power Level? Even if they were a bit of a hassle, that trouble would ultimately only come from other individuals at the Authority Level Peak.

But regardless, if Lince chose to become a Pillar God of a single Law, his dual-system Law would make fighting these opponents a hassle, but nothing more.

Therefore, it was a sure thing that Lince would become a Pillar God.

But then the Cosmos’s will had to go and interfere.

It spared him the trouble of the promotion process but sent him to a much more dangerous Exotic Realm.

’A test with double standards?’

Anyone in this position would find it incomprehensible and unacceptable after learning the truth.

If the Cosmos’s will was an existence with a strong personal will, or even an individual prone to nepotism, Lince would just accept such a double standard.

But the crucial point is that the Cosmos’s will doesn’t have a strong individual will.

It’s just a procedural will, like the Mana Will, that possesses a High-Rank Law and a more powerful logic.

If one had to make an analogy, the current Cosmos Will is more akin to a type of ’Celestial Dao’ or ’Great Dao’ will.

How could such an existence also treat its native creatures differently?

’Do the capable have to do more "hard labor"?’

"Heh, it’s no use complaining to me about this."

"I’m not the Cosmos Will."

"Besides, the Cosmos Will is inherently merciless. It will only maximize the use of all its means to acquire benefits for itself."

"As for giving more compensation to those sent out? That’s even more impossible."

"It’s like... I want to use one hand to feed myself and the other to wipe my own ass. Tell me, would I treat my two hands differently?"

"After all, both hands are a part of my own body."

The God of Thousand Faces vividly demonstrated the actions with his two hands.

Seeing this, both the Mother of All Things and the God of All Machines had an expression that said, ’That’s so you.’

There was no ’disgusting’ or ’awful’ thing the God of Thousand Faces wouldn’t do.

After all, he never took the conventional path.

To call him a god was less accurate than calling him a mere Lezi God, a shit-stirring god, among the Deities.

"Truly, the great Dao is merciless."

In the end, Lince could only come to this conclusion.

Ultimately, it was because in the inherent logic of the Cosmos Will, beings like them—whether Pillar Gods or Pillar God candidates—were just as the God of Thousand Faces had said. They were fundamentally a part of the Cosmos itself, or perhaps even its tools.

Who would negotiate terms with a part of their own body, or with a tool?

As long as you live within the Cosmos and lack sufficient Power, you have no right to negotiate terms or rules with it.

However, Lince could actually understand it quite well.

’If you want to become the one who sets the rules, if you want fairness, you first have to demonstrate that you possess the corresponding strength and value. Before you have that strength and equivalent value, anything you say is just empty talk.’

Complaining wouldn’t solve the problem.

Of course, Lince couldn’t give up on the path of the Pillar God.

So, whether he was willing or not, Lince had to see this journey through.

Fortunately, the sabotage mission didn’t require Lince to destroy the Other Cosmos all by himself.

Lince only needed to destroy even a tiny bit of the corresponding Other Cosmos’s foundational power to be considered successful.

Success, of course, also meant he could ascend to the position of Pillar God.

Setting aside whether he would be sent out again as a Pillar God, at least he would finally have the chance to learn more, to know more of the secrets behind the Cosmos’s own existence.

And even embark on what Lince believed must exist: the ’Path of Transcendence’.

"The great Dao is merciless?"

"That’s a pretty novel way of putting it."

"It’s a bit like a ’mythological story’ I learned about in a mortal world."

The God of Thousand Faces remarked upon hearing Lince’s whisper.

"Primordial Chaos? Celestial Gods?"

Lince wasn’t surprised at all. He looked at the God of Thousand Faces with a faint, knowing smile.

"Huh? Nidhogg, you know this story too?"

"I searched the information stored in my Divine Format, and it seems I’ve heard a similar saying?"

"I... seem to have as well..."

At that, the God of All Machines and the Mother of All Things suddenly spoke up one after another. In the very instant they did, they all froze.

Only Lince’s expression remained unchanged.

Instead, he just smiled faintly and said:

"I also know of a mythology where the term ’Titan Race’ exists."

"Of course, there’s more. Do you want to hear it?"

They weren’t fools. Hearing Lince say this, and seeing his profound expression, they all immediately understood.
