Chapter 1471: Chapter 1428: The Beginning of Void Expansion Chapter 1471: Chapter 1428: The Beginning of Void Expansion “Unfortunately, all that the God King currently possesses is insufficient to sustain His boundless ambition. Thankfully, the God King has a firm will, suppressing His own ambitions and awaiting the right opportunity.”

“Thus, the shattered Great World, post the invasion of the Mother of All Things, finally experienced long-awaited peace and tranquility, entering a prolonged period of recuperation.”

“Of course, the so-called peace was only relative to the larger environment of the world; local conflicts, small-scale wars, and even individual duels were inevitable, but these were all minor issues.”

“The Supreme Lord of the World paid no mind to these, focusing instead on comprehending the World Laws and adapting them for His use while sparing just a tiny, insignificant bit of attention for Titan coming from Elasia.”

“All He had to do was ensure that, at the moments when their lives were in peril and there was no possibility of turning the tables, their lives were saved. This was the promise He had originally made to the two overlords.”

“In the Divine Realm, centered around the Ninefold Divine Court, originally linked to the World Origin, Muria, who perceived the operation of the World Laws, arrived at the World Barrier, gazing regretfully at the Brave Titan with dark hair and golden pupils.”

“‘Won’t you stay? Regardless of the Law you wish to comprehend, I can grant you the appropriate divine role.'”

“‘No, no need,’ replied the ancient-looking, solemn Titan, firmly shaking His head, unpersuaded by the words of the World Ruler.”

“‘I see,’ Muria nodded, not asking why this being, who had bestowed upon Him the Blood of Titans, did not wish to stay, as the answer was obvious.”

“It wasn’t about being a Father, unable to accept with peace of mind the gifts and even protection from His Son, due to stubborn and childish sentiments. Rather, Ansel was a Titan, one who preferred to obtain everything He desired through His own hands, through actions, through battle.”

“Simply comprehending Laws was not enough for a young, newly risen Epic Titan to defy His nature and confine Himself in one place for millions of years.”

“‘Then I wish you undefeated in every battle…'”

“The newly risen Lord of the World offered a blessing akin to polite small talk. Yet, with His current status, every word and action carried immense power, and His blessing transformed into a force that bolstered His Father.”

“‘Mm, I’m leaving. Please take care of your Mother, you know her temperament. As long as nothing too excessive happens, you…'”

“‘As long as she doesn’t destroy the world, let her do as she pleases.'”

“Muria smiled and finished the sentence for Ansol, swallowing the words that were on the tip of His tongue.”

“Unwilling to stay and accept Muria’s grace like the Titan, the Mother of Dragon, Dragon mother Atreus, and His maternal grandparents were exceptionally open-minded and took a more relaxed view than the Titan.”

“With almost no mental burden, they accepted the divine roles bestowed by Muria and rightfully transformed from Dragon King to ruling the World Laws as the Dragon God.”

“The reason was simple, Divine Beings can access the World Laws more easily than Epics, even if it’s just a single Law. Yet with Muria’s presence, this restriction wasn’t an issue.”

“For example, Dragon mother Atreus, she wanted to be the Goddess of Magic, but after a while, she grew tired and wanted to change her divine role. It was easy to find Muria and simply switch to another.”

“Likewise, if they grew weary of being gods and wanted to free themselves from the bondages of the world to wander the Void freely once more as an Epic, Muria could easily sever those chains if He wished.”

“For Muria’s will had merged with the Great World Will, making Him a true controller of the universe. Granting and revoking divinity was as simple as a thought for Him.”

“And so, after everything settled down, all the Epic Titans left, except for the young ones who periodically visited this expansive and vast Trial ground for training.”

“Only relatives of the Dragon God lineage stayed behind, forming an external familial power group for the New World. As for the Blazing Sky God Race, having little interest in becoming gods, they departed along with the Titans.”

“For Muria had appropriated the method from the Blazing Sky God Race. So, the Blazing Sky Gods who could wander the Void were basically all beings that were so sick of being gods. How could they be interested in such matters?”

“Apart from these elder relatives, the only ones for Muria to care about were His eldest Son and His three lovely daughters.”

“Among them, His eldest Son, Aeolus, and His third daughter, Tiffany, who inherited the Titan’s Blood, had a keen interest in the endless, mysterious Void and expressed their desire to explore it to Muria.”

“Then, Muria suppressed them mercilessly, ignoring their protests and personal wills, using His authority as the Lord of the World to forcibly turn them into gods and ordered them to comprehend the corresponding Laws within a set timeframe.”

“Such an approach was quite unreasonable, relying on force over rationale, but,”

“‘I am your father!’ the impatient World Ruler said, unwilling to engage in protracted discussions with His children who had developed their own ideas, ‘Until you have the power to defy me, you must listen to me. Does this settle it?'”

“He used pure power to suppress His own Son and daughter; the God King appeared amiable and mild-mannered, then manipulated His immobile, speechless children into nodding and signing several unfair treaties.”

“Finally, having dealt with His familial duties, the God King immersed His main consciousness into the Sea of Origin Force of the World, participating in the operation of the World Laws, essentially ceasing to intervene in most of the World’s affairs, becoming an existence transcendent of all creatures, all things, and all gods.”

“…time flew, and the scars left by past wars were quickly smoothed over in the peaceful environment, even those painful memories once inflicted upon the Gods gradually faded and disappeared.”

“As species once on the brink of extinction due to war were deliberately nurtured back to strength by the Gods, the world once again became colorful and diverse.”

“And then, after a long period of peace, a problem naturally arose, presented before the Gods — overpopulation.”

“In an environment where wars were almost extinct, many intelligent races of the World, and even the beasts in the Wilderness, were breeding fervently, and neither natural attrition nor low-intensity skirmishes could rectify this.”

“The number of World Creatures grew steadily each year in an extremely stable trend, reaching a scale that alarmed the Gods.”
