GREED: ALL FOR WHAT?-Chapter 1498 Greed Wins Again.

The people of the plane feared and worshiped the dragon. But he didn't use them to become a god. This is because he would lose his dragon heart and the dragon force that comes with it when his Origin freezes. Then he will have to rely on weak mortals for power.

His pride will never allow that. Even at the point of death, he would rather die just like his mother than save his life by becoming a god. Legion-8 knew that even if he was willing to do so, the dragon spirit would never allow it so that he won't break free from his shackles.

Things continued peacefully like this for many Origin cycles. The dragon grew stronger even though there was no Origin energy in the plane. His connection to the dragon spirit provided him with as much Origin energy as he wanted.

He could even grant other beings access to the Origin energy if he wanted to. This made him become royalty in the plane because every transcendent wanted to serve him to gain Origin energy.

He was truly living an easy life. All he had to do, apart from sleeping, was wake up every hundred years to receive offerings from all over the plane. His horde grew larger and larger because of it.

This peace and quiet was broken when a demon king invaded. The plane faced an unprecedented crisis. Even the will of the plane was roused. It had to resist the invasion of this powerful being and the army of demons that it brought with it.

The will of the plane didn't take long to decide who would become the child of the plane. There was only one clear choice. So it chose the most powerful creature on the plane.

There was no other credible choice. The dragon became the child of the plane. It is something that has never been done before in the history of the realm tree. This turned out to be a good decision, and it bore good fruits.

The dragon's power as a king of law combined with his dragon force and the title of child of the plane made him capable of matching the demon king. The two of them fought for a long time over the ownership of the plane. The demon king was defeated and killed twice in a row, so it gave up on the plane.

The people of the plane rejoiced in the victory of their overlord. They were happy that demons wouldn't kill them, but then they suddenly became angry with the dragon that saved them. It was an inexplicable feeling. They ought to be grateful, but they hate the dragon.

This is because while the people of the plane were rejoicing after the invasion of the plane had ended, another invasion had secretly happened in the background. The dragon spirit was using the dragon and his connection to the plane through the title of the child of the plane to silently invade the Will of the plane.

This caused the Will of the plane to become angry with the dragon. Unfortunately, it couldn't take back the title because the dragon spirit refused to let it go. So the best the Will of the plane could do was set up the inhabitants of the plane against the dragon in hopes that someone would be able to defeat the dragon and take back the title.

However, this was almost a useless move because the influence of the Will of the plane on the inhabitants of the plane was subtle. It couldn't communicate directly with them, and it couldn't control their actions. The best it could do was suggest enmity with the dragon.

Even if the Will of the plane could take control of the inhabitants of the plane and have them fight the dragon, it would still be useless because none of them could defeat the dragon.

Legion-8 wasn't surprised by the turn of events. He said in admiration for the dragon spirit, "I would do so if I were the one."

He understands the dragon spirit's invasion of the plane since he would have done the same thing. In fact, another clone of Legion had tried to do the same thing. Legion-7 failed because the Celestial Supreme of the Gattling plane killed her son and stole the title from him. That can't happen here since the dragon is the strongest being in the plane.

A great spiritual battle took place in the background of the plane. This was an invasion more insidious than the attack of the demon king. The Will of the plane couldn't resist because the dragon spirit was too strong. The dragon spirit had the combined spiritual power of every living dragon born in the realm of high heaven who was below the world god level at its disposal.

That is an amount of spiritual power that is greater than what the inhabitants of the plane can offer the Will of the plane. The Will of the plane also did not have the advantage of quality, as the strongest being it had in the plane was a transcendent. So the will of the plane was consumed, and the dragon spirit grew stronger because of it.

And just like Legion, the dragon spirit was not content with that achievement. It became greedy for more. It could replace the will of the plane, but the power from that is slow and little compared to the power it could gain from replacing the Will of the realm. So it used the anchor of the plane to the realm as a connection to attack the Will of the realm. 𝐟𝐫eewe𝗯𝐧𝚘ve𝐥.c𝚘𝚖

The dragon's consciousness appeared in a dark world. The world of the ancestral trial changed into this dark world. In this darkness, there was a source of light. It was a bright, spherical ball. There were runes projected out of it outward into the surrounding darkness like a hologram. It looked like the most precious treasure.
