GREED: ALL FOR WHAT?

It is said that you shouldn't meet your heroes. Gehaldirah, a high elf of royal bloodline didn't have to meet the realm lord of High Heaven before he became disillusioned. His admiration for the paragon of the high elf race turned into hatred when he got some damning knowledge about why demons kept attacking his home and looting the sacred tree of life. His hatred for the realm lord turned to self-hatred for his weakness and mediocrity. Gehaldirah had a moment of introspection. He isn't at the bottom of the ladder in this strength-based hierarchy. He is a king of law, but that apparently isn't enough to guarantee your fate. His strength is also mediocre because it was granted to him because of his bloodline. He determined he had to change himself. He has to become better. He concocted a plan that is one part genius and one part greed. His plan for reincarnation led him to the trial of heaven that occurs every origin cycle. He needed Origin essence so he participated in the trial. He got more than he wanted from the trial. His plan for reincarnation would be a success after some adjustments. But now he has a different aim. He won't aim for just the realm lord. The realm lord has control of the High Heaven Realm. That isn't enough for Geraldirah anymore. He became greedier. He has his sight set on the movers and shakers of the Void Universe. Only the power to subvert the will of World Gods will do. The plan to create LEGION, the ultimate organism was then hatched. If one person cannot achieve something, what about a multitude of them? His journey will not be easy. He will have to overcome Celestials and their Celestial Supreme, Gods and their GodKings, Demon kings and their Demon gods. The Void Universe is full of obstacles that will like nothing more than to put an end to his path. It is not that they hate him. They will oppose him simply because the era of conquest is coming. There are no friends in the era of conquest. It is everyone for themselves. And he will use everything and everyone for the advancement of Legion. AUTHOR: I cannot promise that you will like it.

GREED.

To make his dream of perfection happen, Gehaldirah started making plans and executing some. 

He planned for almost an Origin cycle, and soon he would succeed. He just has to succeed during this upcoming trial of heaven because there is something very important he has to get from the trial. 

It isn't going to be easy because what he is looking to get is something most if not all, sovereigns want to get their hands on. He will have to put his life on the line if he wants to get it. He is willing to do so because the alternative is mediocrity. 

Soon the sky-reaching tower appeared in his vision. He could see it even from a far distance from his destination. Gehaldirah couldn't help feeling excited as soon as he saw the tower from afar. 

He said to himself, "Soon. A little bit more and my path will either end or I will begin anew on the path to greatness."

He tapped down his urge to get there faster. The event won't be starting soon. This trial of heaven will change his life and will be monumental in helping him achieve his goal of acquiring all the divine abilities of the supreme races. It will be the first step towards greatness.

----

Gehald has based his plan to acquire many divine abilities on the theory of origin, soul, body, and energy. He aims to manipulate both the path of perfection and divinity to get what he wants. The path of perfection and the path of divinity are the two mainstream paths to power in the Void universe. 

Many have tried to derive a different or better means to power. But after numerous failures and disappointments, it was deemed a waste of effort. When you couple it with the increase in efficiency due to the effort of the ancestors of various races in the two paths, no one in their right mind doubted the two parts. 

Each supreme race has streamlined the process of training and made it easier for future generations. So he doesn't intend to create another path but to eat his cake and have it still. He wants to have the divine abilities belonging to the other races without being afflicted with their weaknesses.

The two paths of power are based on the theory of Origin, Soul, Body, and Energy. It is the theory that believes that the entirety of the existence of an entity can be summarised with the four components of origin, soul, body, and energy. 

This theory states that all living things possess an origin core, all sentient beings possess a Soul, the body is either physical or ephemeral, and all the above have various energy that they use and can thus be improved or transformed using some other energy that is better.

In simpler terms, you can become stronger by using certain energies that improve the body, soul, and origin. That's why the paths of perfection and divinity both revolve around body, soul, and origin refinement with energy. They just use different sources of energy and approaches to refinement. 

The path of perfection believes the realm tree is a mother and the world around them is the womb, so they refine themselves using external energy, energy from the world. In contrast, the path of divinity believes in converging the energy of faith from sentient creatures and using that for refinement. 

The path of divinity falls short because even though it diverges from the path of perfection, it must return to it later on. Divinity itself isn't perfect, so those that use it will always return to the path of perfection in search of true immortality.

Throughout the years, a long time before the Ascension of the realm lord to the seat of power, people have been going through these two paths almost blind as compared to now that the stat screen is available.

In the past, it was difficult to gauge your level of power or compare it to another without fighting, and it was also difficult to tell your level of progress within a level. But all this changed when the realm lord introduced the Status Update. 

Since then, keeping track of your progress through your Stats has made it easier to become more powerful. Now you can track your growth in real-time and determine what is better at making you stronger. 

The status screen has also made what he wants to achieve easier. When he succeeds, his status will no longer look like this.

All the above-mentioned values are universally applicable as a reference to determine the difference in strength between extraordinaries. They function to keep track of personal growth and progress. A person will have a value of one all around for the first time the status is called up, but this value will change as the person grows more powerful.

Gehald's current status is a far cry from what it was years ago when he fought against the demon invasion. Back then, he hadn't tried to master any other law apart from the laws of life. Life laws have more of an auxiliary effect than attacking. The laws of life boost the stats but are weak when used for attacking. 

If not for the fact that he needs the seed of power condensed from life laws to perform his reincarnation plan and he couldn't use more than one, he wouldn't have chosen to become a sovereign using it. He would have chosen the law of fire. 

All in all, he has made great progress in his pursuit of law even though he has been met with difficulties with some laws. Like the law of death, the antithesis of life, space, and time laws, because he lacked the necessary affinity for them.

But this will all change with his plans for the future. He will overcome all weaknesses and try to get the various powers that elude him. He will achieve his goal even if he has to acquire an unlimited amount of bodies to get them. Nothing will stop him.
