Single Wish: Rise Of The Omniscient Paragon

Chapter 364  363: A Game

{What I'm about to tell you is a secret that is only known to the top factions or beings with immense power and influence.}
The instant Divine's voice flowed into his ears, Corey's rage reduced and he looked at Divine with a curious expression. Although his rage had not died down, it had reduced by a considerable amount.
Divine perceived his gaze, and he pondered briefly before speaking,
{There is actually a very important reason why there are so many foreign forces on our planet.}
Divine paused, then he continued,
{They want the core of our world.}
Corey had a baffled expression the instant he heard Divine's words. Although this was the first time he was hearing that the core of a world could be… taken?... He knew that anything was possible nowadays.
{Why do they need the core of our world? How is it going to help them?}
Corey asked the most important questions on his mind, and Divine shook his head softly as he ran.
{They want our world's core because it would be able to grant them any wish just like us.}
Corey's eyes widened in surprise, and he could not help but exclaim.
{If the world's core can grant anybody wishes like us, what's stopping them from destroying our planet and taking it?}
A slight smile appeared on Divine's face when he heard Corey's question. That was the same question he also asked the first time he heard about the core of their world.
{The Universal System is what is stopping them from destroying them to take the world's core.}
Divine explained with a smile, and Corey furrowed his brows in confusion.
{I don't understand. Explain.}
Divine chuckled, {Think about it. Since our world is favored by the Universal System, won't it know that powerful beings would be able to use the world's core to obtain a wish of theirs?}
Corey's frown became deeper.
{The Universal System obviously knows this, so it came up with an extremely simple solution.}
Divine chuckled softly when he thought of the solution the Universal System came up with.
{It made sure that only the denizens of the Blessed Planet would be able to obtain the world's core. If an outsider tries to take it, he or she would be killed by the Universal System.}
Corey's eyes widened slightly, {Only an inhabitant of the Blessed Planet can take the world's core?}
Divine nodded, then his gaze became slightly cold and dark as he said his next words.
{It might seem like this rule by the system was foolproof and was meant to act as a deterrent towards the outsiders. I mean, beings like them who spent thousands of years to reach their levels would surely not want to die right?}
Divine chuckled, then he clicked his tongue in irritation.
{If you had such thoughts, then you're so wrong… Those outsiders found a way to circumvent the rules of the System.}
{And what they did was extremely was simple.} Divine paused, then a dark smile appeared on his face, {Basically, you just have to ask yourself this question… What is a denizen? When is one considered a denizen of a planet?}
Corey's eyes widened in shock the instant he heard Divine's last words. He had an inkling of what Divine was going to say next, and if he was right- and he was sure he was, then everything about his world just got more and more complicated.
{I'm sure you've guessed it right. However, I'll still say it…}
A grim expression appeared on Divine's face as he continued speaking,
{Since only a denizen, an inhabitant of a Blessed Planet could take the world's core, then why not create our own denizens?}
Corey's gaze darkened.
{To be seen as a denizen of a world, the system says that the person has to be born in that world, and not only that, the person was meant to have a family tree of at least three generations.}
The moment Corey heard these words which basically confirmed his thoughts, he could not help but feel a massive headache incoming.
A question hung at the tip of his lips, and although he was somewhat afraid of the answer he'll receive, he knew he had to get it.
{Divine.}
Corey called out, and Divine looked at him.
{Do you know when the outsiders came into New Earth? How long has it been?... 10 years? Or more?}
Although Corey knew his last question was a dumb one, he had to ask to know if the information he got from Ashley when he was still in his school, was actually wrong.
According to Ashley, the first group of outsiders came into New Earth ten years ago.
However… since the main goal of the outsidersl was to create denizens that would be loyal to them by procreation, how would ten years be enough.
And just as he suspected, Divine's next words confirmed what he feared.
{What? Did you just say ten years?}
Divine was baffled, stunned, and then he laughed.
{A century man. The outsiders have been in New Earth for 100 years.}
Corey could not help but hold his forehead while feeling a terrible 'headache'. The main reason why he was so worried about how long groups like the Temple of Flames had been on earth was because of the strength they would have.
A ten year old force would have not the same number of people, land, knowledge, allies, and so on, compared to that of a century old force.
At the end of the day, his main goal was to save his sister then destroy the Temple of Flames, however, if the Temple of Flames had been on New Earth for a hundred years instead of ten… He would need to be careful since their foundation on New Earth would definitely be much stronger than what he previously thought.
{I'm curious, why did you say ten years man?}
Divine's voice filled with curiousity flowed into Corey's ears, disrupting the thoughts of his main consciousness.
{The person who told me about outsiders also told me that the outsiders have been around for ten years.}
Divine raised his brows, then he shook his head with a chuckle.
{Well, that's completely wrong. It's either the person was deceived or the person was trying to deceive you. But, to be honest, I think the person was deceived or just received a completely wrong information since very, very, very, very few people know how long these foreign forces have been in our planet.}
{They have spread their roots all over our planet, and to be honest, I believe we're nothing more than livestock and chess pieces to them.}
{We're basically ignorant pawns with the ability to transform not only our lives from being a pawn to a queen or even a king- the most important chesspiece. Not only that, we also have the ability to transform their lives with our world core.}
{To be honest Smile Reaper, we're all in a game… and the Underworld prisoners are major, important, and ignorant chess pieces of this vast game of chess that is being played by these powerful people.}n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
