GREED: ALL FOR WHAT?-Chapter 1447 Lurking Predator.

Legion-7 has reached a plateau in strength ever since he devoured the Supreme Law of the Viper world god. His strength hasn't increased qualitatively no matter the amount of seeds of power he has devoured.

He has been looking for opportunities to evolve but his mind never went toward the fragments of the realm heart because he didn't think they would work on him seeing as he is not in the path of perfection. But now he has to rethink that assumption.

Legion-7 asked Soverick, "How do you think it would work?"

Soverick replied uncertainly, "I don't know. You are not exactly a common creature. But I do know that fragments of a realm heart are too powerful to mess with."

Legion-5 provided a guess. "A world spark can help demon gods evolve so there must be something special about it. Besides, when you think about it, a world spark is a more powerful version of a concept. It is on par with a Supreme law. If eating a small part of Supreme Law can make you stronger, then maybe eating a whole Supreme Law will help you evolve."

Legion-unity decided to behave like they didn't know that the great mother was being extra corperative with them in order to delay them and allow her clones to catch up. They decided to take some time to think about the prospect of Legion-7's evolution.

At the end of the day, they decided not to go with the world spark. They were more interested in the world seed.

As the fragment that actually grows into the realm tree, the world seed is the crystallization of the potential for evolution. It is literally a crystal with infinite faces.

The problem with it is that evolution has infinite possibilities. If there is no direction for it, evolution can actually lead to regression. That's why the only safe way to use it is with a Supreme Law. The Supreme Law will replace the instructions of the world spark and give the world seed direction.

They believe that taking it might be helpful to Legion-7. Unfortunately, they don't have a world seed at hand. What they might have is the world spark which is better than nothing.

They asked the great mother for the world spark.

"Where is the world spark now?"

She replied quickly, "The world god took it from me when you didn't accept the deal with one of his descendants."

Legion-7 was enlightened. He said to Soverick, "So that's why you felt danger from her and told us not to admit to being Legion when we spoke to her or take her deal."

Soverick replied, "She was working with the first sage, so of course he obstructed my sight. I couldn't tell what was wrong, but I could tell that something was wrong."

They discussed leisurely, as if they had all the time to speak with her. And they truly do, the clones that the great mother is waiting for aren't going to come. They gained independence when the spark of consciousness was cut off from them. They don't want to be enslaved anymore, so they aren't coming to save her like she expected.

Legion-5 said to Legion-7, "It seems there is nothing more to gain here. Let's go."

They have gained all they can from her. This includes all the realm trees out there where the Phoenix race is present. It is a large number, which shows the influence of the immortal race.

They have also learned that the Phoenix race has made a deal with the first sage. Unfortunately, they didn't get what the deal was because the great mother had sworn an oath of secrecy with Mother High Heaven, so she couldn't tell them what the deal is. Even if they break open her mind, what they will find is encrypted information about the deal.

They began moving up toward the barrier of the spiritual dimension. The great mother noticed, so she panicked.

"I have told you all you wanted to go. Let me go. If you do, I will take you to where I store my treasures. I have a lot of treasures that my race has accumulated over the years."

Soverick's vision flashed. He saw that if they went along with her, they wouldn't get a treasure. Instead, they would waste time because the great mother would use it to delay them further.

Legion-7 didn't like what he saw. He snorted and said to Soverick, "I suspected that there was no way for the Phoenix race to bring any physical object into the spiritual dimension since they don't have an inner world, but I was still fooled and tempted by the idea of treasure."

Legion-5 expressed that displeasure to her, "Stop lying. You don't need to be afraid for your future. You have a great purpose awaiting you. We will not let you go to waste."

That didn't assure her, but she doesn't have any choice.

Now that she is weak, she can easily be subdued. Their soul force grabbed her and brought her into their inner world. It is a dangerous thing to do, considering how powerful a spark of consciousness is.

A spiritual battle would have ensued had she had the means to start one. But she doesn't. She is alone and defenseless. What they have to fear is not her, but the void universe.

Bringing her into their inner world is the only way they can transport her to the world of manifestation without the void universe targeting them. So they have to take the risk, even if she is dangerous.

They didn't go to the world of manifestation yet. They stopped just behind the barrier, waiting to see if Legion-7 would be able to subdue her spiritually. If he can't, then they will have to bring her to the Tree Father physically.

It appeared that their caution was not needed. The great mother couldn't do anything as a multicolored tentacle grabbed her and took her to the tree father within Legion-1.
