"The universe's massive, even way more than the Upper Realm and it's still expanding infinitely. Have the saints thought about how to divide it yet?" the lady in white suddenly asked.
"I'm just an insignificant god, the God of Plagues that no one respects. I'm only involved in all the dirty work, how would I know about a huge matter like this?" the figure in black said with resentment.
The lady in white was startled. A lot of mortals thought that all the deities were desireless and emotionless. In fact, only a few of them were, most of them had emotions stronger than the mortals. The difference between them was that they could control their emotions wilfully according to the situation. Besides all the demon deities, the orthodox deities would never acknowledge them.
Monsters, demons, evil spirits... these were their names.
After a while, the lady in white said, "At least you've done your job, when it's finally settled you can at least rule one of the galaxies. The galaxies here might even be larger than the ones in the Upper Realm."
"They're much larger, but there's not a single living creature. Not even the smallest unicellular organism exists. It's so barren that it's a place meant for the exiles, " the figure in black shook his head.
"You can create your own living creatures, " the lady in white advised.
She believed that God of Plagues would be of huge use in the future. Especially after she understood the nature of the world, she knew that microorganisms would be the subject of his reign in the future.
She was convinced that he would have a place in which he truly belonged in this world.
Never underestimate any gods, every single one of them had a glorious past and now they possessed the most astute wisdom to make the best judgments.
They were not foolish and conceited like how they were described in myths and fables, those were only a symbol to the ascendants.
The golden-armored deity was defeated by Vigilante A, but that was only because he was distracted. His strategy would not be effective again the next time. Another trait of the gods was their ability to guard their own lives above everything else. Being an immortal had allowed them to do well in this respect. Unless there was no chance of survival in this world, they would do anything to cling to their lives at all costs.
The figure in black nodded, "You do have a point. I now roughly understand the difference between the Upper Realm and the Earth. Every galaxy is relatively independent and an entity of its own, unlike the Upper Realm that was divided to only heavens, earth and humans. If I'm in charge of a galaxy, at least I don't have to be restrained and be under the commands of the saints like before.
"That's right. Human beings here are in great luck for being blessed by the heavens. At least there aren't any rivals within our detection range. Unfortunately, they ushered in the revival of vitality. Otherwise, they will surely become protoss in the future, " the lady in white sighed.
"They'd never get the chance again, haha. They can only rely on the protection of a few powerhouses and on the mercy of a few good gods. They can still lead a decent life, but they'll never have the unlimited opportunities and possibilities of development that they had before, " the figure in black shook his head.
"There're still some variables. Saints, buddhas and demon lords are still too deeply connected to the Upper Realm. It would be extremely difficult to sever the connections they have. If anything goes wrong, they might perish together with the heavens and the earth. Their biggest enemies were never others but themselves, " the lady in white said flatly.
"That's true. Anyway, the man who named himself Vigilante A is quite powerful indeed. My intuition tells me even if his power gets restricted, my true form would be of no match to him. Fortunately, he's foolish enough to associate himself with the humans. Didn't he know that as long as he occupied this world, the notion of a world filled with humans would come true with a snap of his fingers?" the figure in black shuddered at the thought of it.
"I've thoroughly checked his origin, he's the spiritual sense form of True Dragon from the Upper Realm who possessed a mortal. He merged with the Heavenly Axiom that recently emerged, and consolidated the powers of the heavens and the earth in him. That's why he's so strong, " the lady in white analyzed.
"Oh, I see. No wonder you wanted to tackle the Heavenly Axiom of Earth first, it's to solve the problem from the fundamentals, " the figure in black affirmed.
"The plan for the Heavenly Axiom of Earth had actually been arranged clearly long ago. However, the appearance of Vigilante A allowed it to have the opportunity to struggle in fighting back but that was only it. As long as that chess piece is in place, everything would be settled, " the lady in white said confidently.
"Oh, I see. You'd have to be careful of the inevitable retaliation. You ruined the plans of the True Dragon Clan, they will seek revenge in the future. I finally understand it now!" the figure in black came to a sudden realization.
"Do enlighten me, " the lady in white's facial expression changed.
"I once heard of a secret that the True Dragon Clan had a legendary being who was named Supreme True Dragon, rumor has it that he would reincarnate as a saint and become the first saint after the reinstatement of the heavens and the earth. Would he be the key person?" the figure in black wondered.
"No wonder he never really failed, even now it's impossible for deities to even try to kill him. Perhaps this is what they called the luck of saints. The true dragon clan came up with a clever scheme, they were already planning for the new world instead of the old one, " the lady in white said flatly.
"Damn it. No wonder they sent me here, it's actually to do all the dirty work. Now that we've offended the future saint, a fatal lot is unavoidable, " the figure in black was distressed.
"That's only our prediction. It's not reliable without taking into account of the Great Path of this realm, " the lady in white said flatly.
"You've got a point. At least he'll have to go through a bunch of rivals before becoming a saint, or else he'll forever be addressed the future saint until the extinction of the heavens and the earth. The Upper Realm has someone like this as well, the future king of Buddhas, waiting for the heavens and the earth to reopen and become a divine ancestor. Well, now that the heavens and the earth is facing extinction, there's no chance for it to reopen. He made a lot of sacrifices though, he was tricked by the ancestral god, " the figure in black was delighted.
"Holding off on that, I've got a favor to ask of you. I hope you can offer me some help, " the lady in white asked sincerely.
"Please go ahead and continue."
"The owner of one of the arcane realms here was extremely arrogant. I wanted to borrow his piece of land as a temporary palace but he rejected me."
"That's easy. I'll infect his household with a plague to make him understand the prestige of deities, " the figure in black was confident.
"That's great. I'll have leverage the next time I pay a visit, " the lady in white was delighted.
"You're welcome. It was no trouble at all. If I really get to manage one of the galaxies in the future, I'd have to rely on you to transform the lunar phase, " the figure in black waved his hand.
"Of course, " the lady in white nodded.
"Alright. It's time that we make a move and enter into the pact of gods and humans, " the figure in black reminded.
"Let's go."
In a short while, both of them disappeared from the trough valley.
