Chapter 963: Chaos, Over and Above Common Sense (Part 5)

Sui Xiong, who was back in action upon recovering, headed straight towards Chaos once again and stood in front to block its path.

The gods all heaved sighs of relief.

The power of chaos was clearly too overbearing for the gods. Even if they tried with all their might, they might not necessarily be able to block it effectively. Earlier on, it had obviously advanced a great distance within that short period of time. If it were to continue progressing as such, it would not be long before it got close to the boundary line between the Negative Plane and the Matter Plane of the Ring of the World.

Once Chaos stepped into the Matter Plane of the Ring of the World, it would immediately cause serious damage. If its power was released and allowed to spread to the surroundings, even if it was just a little bit, it would nonetheless give rise to the birth of countless monsters. They would then stage a horrifying scene of monsters dancing about chaotically.

Not only that, but it was also highly possible that the part of the Matter Plane that was contaminated by Chaos would undergo a transformation inclined towards the Negative Plane. If the amount was small, perhaps there would not be much cause for worry. But if the amount was bigger, it might destroy the balance among the four great planes, and thus destroying the overall structure of the Great Circulation.

That was really the scariest thing that could happen!

The Great Circulation was the foundation that everything in the world depended on for survival, and there was no exception for both mortals or gods. If the structure of the Great Circulation was destroyed, it was highly likely to lead to an extremely serious disaster. It was no exaggeration at all to say that it was the end of the world!

No one would want something like that to happen.

As members of the world, the gods had their egos, but also their principles. If things had become so terrible to the extent of the possible destruction of the Great Circulation, the gods would have no other choice but to use themselves as material for fixing up the Great Circulation.

Of course, they would not wish for things to develop to this stage. But if there was really the need to, even the evil gods would not oppose to self-sacrifice to save the world. But when the situation was not all that bad, who would be willing to sacrifice themselves!

Even the good gods or the pure good gods who were always so courageous enough to sacrifice themselves for the sake of helping others were no lunatics who simply sought death!

So the gods certainly hoped that Sui Xiong could return earlier and help them with defense at the front so that this world of theirs would not be destroyed. And also, no one would need to go to the extent of sacrificing themselves to repair the world.

And again, Sui Xiong managed to block Chaos. When he brought Chaos’ advancing steps to a halt, more than one god let out shouts of cheer.

“Good going!”

“Our lives are in your hands, Void Mask!”

“Great Jellyfish, if you win this battle, I will find you a beautiful jellyfish bride when we return!”

Sui Xiong rolled his eyes discreetly upon hearing that last line. He really wished he could charge back, turn his tentacles into a thread and needle and sew up that annoying mouth of Her Majesty, the well-respected Goddess of Joy—the teacher who taught him about architectural construction.

At this point in time, she ought to be saying things that were more useful and reliable!

And over at the Positive Plane of the Ring of the World, close to the Wheel of Order that was glowing with great splendor, the Master of Order could not help but nod slightly.

“Auscar, the Void Mask, is indeed a god that is most reliable at the most critical moments,” he said. “If he was the one leading the new rules of this world, maybe I could even put my mind at rest.”

“He is someone with a golden heart that’s simply much too kind, so he most certainly won’t be able to come up with any suitable rules befitting of a leader!” said the God of Light with a cold laugh. “Asking him to lead the world would be the same as allowing the notions of equality of all people and common prosperity for all to continue lingering around us… Such ideas are not trustworthy at all!”

“I find this way of thinking pretty good. At least in terms of actual practice, relevant areas on the Main Plane have shown a significant increase in the pace of progress since he had first advocated the actual practice of these ideas.”

“What’s the use of making progress? Stability is the key!”
