Book 40, The Five Autarchs, Chapter 12 – Help
“The power of the Chaosverse is too overwhelh ere born from this Chaosverse and thus the prime essences do not reject us, we still cannot withstand their incredibleto accoh raw force siht of the Chaosverse’s power It’s sheer suicide! Entropos and Awakener were both extremely powerful, but neither of theht of that power Before they died, they sent us ain; the difference was sireat”
The other four Autarchs all fell silent, while Ning hi So an excessively heavy burden would result in you being crushed to death by it! Even the ures in the Chaosverse, the Autarchs, were unable to withstand even the minimum pressure required to take control over the full power of the Chaosverse This must have been why the estate-spirit of the Azureflower Estate had stated that Autarch Awakener had essentially commited suicide
“But we had no other choices available to us,” Autarch titanos said “This is the onlythe perpetual security of our Chaosverse There really are no other options available to us That’s why Skyfeeder was planning to make the attempt as well”
“I’ve spent an incredibly long period of ti in the Quintessence,” Autarch Skyfeeder said “I’ve tried a fe-level s I think I have a shot”
“Awakener and Entropos both felt the same way” Autarch titanos shook his head
“That’s the allure of it all” Autarch Ekong chuckled “Stop playing the fool There’s ALWAYS a ‘shot’, but we’d probably all die chasing after that flitting chance Now that we have Darknorth, our civilization has a real shot There’s no need for us to foolishly go off and commit suicide”
Puzzled, Ning asked, “Are there really no other options? Is beco a Lord of Chaos truly the only path which is available to us? If we’ve already defeated the Sithe and sealed them ahy don’t we just kick them all out?”
“If we could kick theo” Autarch Bolin chuckled softly
“We’re not able to do that,” Autarch Stonerule said
Autarch Skyfeeder smiled and explained, “Daolord Darknorth, as you know the Sithe have incredibly powerful weapons at their disposal The deeper you go into their ‘hoer their defenses become and the more powerful their weapons are! Their hoerous place in all the Chaosverse During the Dawn War, e did was to attack their bases throughout the Chaosverse We didn’t fight them in their lair!”
“We had a geographical advantage when fighting in the other parts of the Chaosverse The Sithe were confident in their chances at first, and if they wished to bind the Quintessence they would have to kill us all,” Autarch Skyfeeder explained “That is why they cahout the Chaosverse In the end, on an extremely narrow victory”
“If they wish to bind the Quintessence, theydidn’t fully understand
Autarch titanos nodded “Correct”
“Early on, during the first days of the Chaosverse, there were actually extrean to flourish More and s cay the Chaosverse has! Cultivators learned to take in the power of the Chaosverse for the more powerful By now, I estimate that the majority of the power of the Chaosverse has actually been concentrated within the bodies of the countless cultivators currently alive”
“Thus, when cultivators die and their truesouls collapse, all that energy shall return to the Quintessence or the local everworlds and otherverses However… the Sithe kneay to kill us and then take away our truesoul energy!” Autarch titanos continued, “The more of us they killed, the weaker our entire Chaosverse becah power, the Quintessence itself will becon outsiders like the Sithe will be capable of binding it”
Ning finally understood As in all other areas, the Sithe undoubtedly had binding techniques that far surpassed what the local cultivator civilizations possessed! However, they were still outsiders; they would be suppressed and rejected by this Chaosverse They had to first weaken it and bleed it before they would stand a chance at success
“The most powerful creatures in our entire Chaosverse are the Autarchs Us If they can kill even a single Autarch, it would be considered a great success” Autarch titanos chuckled “A pity for theemons, and the Sithe are quite happy to kill thehter on a vast scale, and in order to achieve that they had to cohout the Chaosverse Otherwise, they wouldn’t have been able to achieve their aims”
