Chapter 306 One Life, Two Destinies
Even the Storm Lord, who was the main force in the front line of combat, was no match for the Hermit.
The entire spirit world, including the real world, then became peaceful.
The activity frequency of the hermit decreased, while the activity frequency of the White Emperor increased.
The Solomon Empire's order infiltrating the spirit world was originally an extremely positive thing, but the Black Emperor's mood was not so high.
He restored all the prestige of the White Emperor that he had weakened through political means.
Previously, the White Emperor did not participate in most political affairs and could be considered low-key except for promoting the development of civilization. The Black Emperor, on the other hand, easily extended his reach to the western side of the Northern Continent through hereditary nobles such as Tudor. However, now, although the White Emperor has not done anything special, some changes have inadvertently emerged.
The most obvious change is that vampires...have become even more arrogant.
If the elves have always been a self-contained group, and their temperament has remained largely unchanged since the founding of the Solomon Empire, then the behavior of the vampires is quite thought-provoking.
The Northern Continent has enjoyed a long period of peace, and the Black Emperor's majesty remains undiminished, but compared to the Hermit who has long been involved in the war of gods, he is lacking in certain aspects.
The vampires did not disrespect the Black Emperor; they were simply more confident. In the past, when they managed Backlund, they acted more like administrators or tax collectors. Now, they directly treated Backlund as their own fiefdom.
Overall, the White Emperor did not hinder the Black Emperor's efforts to strengthen control over the empire's internal affairs.
The Black Emperor has consolidated power in the territories of the Church of the Earth Mother, the Church of the War God, and the Church of the Night. Daily administration is handled by officials selected by the Solomon Empire, and the faith of the Fallen God is spreading smoothly in the Northern Continent.
Over two hundred years, the people of the Northern Continent became accustomed to the existence of the Solomon Empire, to its laws and order, and to the rule of the Solomon family. The Solomon Empire was unprecedentedly powerful, and many high-ranking nobles within it had reached the rank of Envoy.
At this point, it is only natural for the Black Emperor, as the ruler of the Northern Continent, to collect Sequence 1 of the adjacent pathway (the Judge's pathway). With the characteristics of the Hand of Order, the Black Emperor on the reality side, under the blessing of order, will absorb power from order, which will also become extremely troublesome.
But the "Black Emperor" himself discovered that this was not the case.
The Solomon Empire's cohesion has strengthened, but the power it can draw from order has been dispersed, with the White Emperor directly taking away nearly half of the share.
Although the White Emperor rarely uses this power directly, if he is able to, he can directly draw upon more than half of the power of the empire's order side if there is no resistance.
This put the Black Emperor in an awkward position.
The initial appointment of the White Emperor as ruler of the entire Northern Continent was partly due to fear of the former Kingdom of Constantine's strength, and partly due to confidence that, as a deity of the Order and the emperor of the Solomon Empire, he would reap the greatest benefits from the merger.
As time went by, the Black Emperor's control over the empire should have grown stronger, and that's exactly what happened.
The Solomon Empire's pie grew bigger and bigger, but the White Emperor was still able to take a considerable share. As the god of the real world and the order, and the nominal supreme ruler, He couldn't even restrain the White Emperor.
The Solomon family has worked for over 200 years to integrate and unify the country. The White Emperors mostly chose to back down, abandoning administrative management and focusing on education, science and technology, and culture. By this time, the order of the Solomon Empire has become part of civilization, and civilization is also contained within the order.
If it were a deity from another source, it would be fine, but 200 years is enough time for the hermit to learn how to play the game on the side of order. This leads to an awkward situation: if the White Emperor drags his feet, the Black Emperor's combat power bonus within the empire may plummet by half.
If the Black Emperor wants to influence the Hermit through the White Emperor in reverse, it can have some effect, but the deterrent effect is much weaker.
Because the hermit has more paths and more choices, unlike the Black Emperor who has a more singular approach.
Inside the White Emperor's palace.
Xiaer has calculated most of the changes in the uniqueness of fate. When fate is unpredictable and full of variables, it is naturally chaotic and crazy. But fate that can be calculated is not so chaotic.
"Under the divine, the changes in fate are almost always predictable."
His eyes seemed to reflect a rotating halo, and with each rotation, it revealed the numbers of fate faster than the "Dice of Fate" in his hand.
Each time He guessed correctly, the uniqueness and negative effects in his hand were almost negligible to the White Emperor.
The biggest dealer in the Northern Continent plays dice, and can roll almost any number he wants. An invisible hand, along with a network of order, covers every aspect of the Northern Continent. It's extremely difficult for fate to change. In the Solomon Empire, what determines the fate of ordinary people is not uniqueness, but the White Emperor.
"Although I do not possess the power of the ancient times, I can still help you embrace the uniqueness of destiny."
Xia Er looked at "God of Luck" Servis, who was waiting in the main hall, and smiled.
"Fate tells me that now is the opportunity."
The "God of Luck" of Sequence 1 bowed slightly; he had foreseen that the opportunity would appear.
The path to divinity through destiny is to find the right opportunity within the flow of fate.
It's quite difficult under normal circumstances to hold a simple ceremony that accommodates uniqueness for such an abstract ritual.
Even in the original timeline, Klein used the power of the ancient level to suppress the uniqueness and help the little snake absorb it.
"Look beyond the surface and see the essence."
"During the era of the eight ancient gods, who performed the ascension ceremony?"
"You know best the path of destiny, which symbolizes the chaotic aspect of fate."
"Chaos means madness and loss of control."
"Rituals are what can reduce madness and loss of control."
Shael tossed the "Dice of Fate" in his hand, which floated in front of the "God of Luck". Under normal circumstances, Uniqueness would run away, fight back, create chaos, and attract another Angel King of the Fate Path. But now, all the changes have been predicted in advance and blocked. The dice just floated there obediently.
"I hold onto it. Variables can't outrun destiny. Fate is in my grasp. Once you accept it, fate is half free."
The White Emperor's words became more serious, as if he were giving a reminder.
"I know."
The "God of Luck" nodded, grasping the unique destiny before him.
He knew what the "new king" meant. The Northern Continent was not monolithic. The White Emperor held the uniqueness of destiny, leaving little room for manipulating fate. Choosing to accommodate, even if one could get the White Emperor's help, would still create a barrier, and the chains of fate would loosen.
