Chapter 1358 - 639: Primate Housekeeper? I Could Replace Them_2

To build a solid mental dam for the primate races.

But now that the Creator has also lost the Order within His own mind and turned into another pan-consciousness, Araiyer naturally once again lost its restraints and protection.

And the secular and royal Rank that stands behind me, this "Human Emperor," has already reached the minimum threshold to touch that consciousness.

There is now the possibility that I, on both the secular and religious levels, will become the Human Representative and take the Creator’s place."

As Byron resonated with Araiyer’s consciousness, this thought had only just risen.

"Ooo-oo-oo... squeak-squeak-squeak..."

A troop of monkeys was shrieking right in his ears.

No translation was needed; Byron could understand them.

"Us too! Us too!"

Primates are the smartest race in Nature; their developed brains and souls mean that their collective unconscious takes up more than half of all consciousness of all living beings in this Material World.

So...

"Monkeys under my charge? Baboons under my charge? Gorillas under my charge?

Even the wild little hoodlums all have to be under the rule of me, the Human Emperor?"

Byron felt a bit of a toothache.

Unfortunately, he soon discovered that he was not yet qualified to experience this blissful kind of vexation.

The 9% Unity of All Things Realm was still too low.

Isn’t this exactly why the Unity of All Things Mind Realm is the most fundamental Power of Humans?

Reaching 10% counts as a qualified Demigod, and if one wants to take the Creator’s housekeeper’s position, one needs at least 50%!

Otherwise, it would be like a child swinging a giant hammer—just moving a single thought would end up hurting oneself.

He might even be digested in reverse by Araiyer and turned into one of its parts; who knows, he might really end up as a wild "aw-aw" crying little hoodlum.

Byron actively dissolved the resonance and set his resolve in his heart:

"My key tasks next are to ascend to Sixth Order Demigod, and to further raise the Unity of All Things Realm.

Once I have the Crown, the larger my territory, the more people I rule, the more shares I will naturally hold in the Human collective unconscious.

Expand the lands, then expand the faith, and I’ll get twice the result for half the effort."

Moreover, he felt that an Emperor ought to be the highest ruler in the Mortal World, a true "Human Emperor," rather than some second-rate good-for-nothing ranked under the Pope.

The Rank of [Emperor] itself is incomplete; when the Creator forged the current Glory Ladder Sequence, He deliberately chipped away one layer.

Thus the proper Mortal World sovereign was instantly pressed down by the Papal Tiara and turned into a vassal of ecclesiastical power.

Byron understood clearly that every law is merely an extension of the ruler’s will; all these designs are meant to defend the Creator’s rule.

In the past, this might have been the right move.

But if he wants to seize Power and replace the Creator, then beating the opponent within the opponent’s own rules is completely impossible; only by leaping beyond the rules and starting afresh can he hope for a comeback from the brink.

Thus the next step was perfectly clear.

Raise the Protestant Doctrine banner as Emperor of the North Sea Empire, resolve the religious War on the Silver Continent once and for all, and take that Papal Tiara off the Pope’s head!

Only by reclaiming Power and becoming the strongest within the rules can one plot to change those rules!

Some predecessor who was "brilliant at plotting for the country, clumsy at plotting for himself" had already provided the example.

In an instant, Byron settled on a three-step strategy.

The Pope is the Creator’s housekeeper, symbolizing secular ruling power; only by taking him down can he be said to have fully mastered Humans’ secular Power;

The Holy Spirit is the Creator of the Trinity; only by ascending to Sixth Order Demigod and rightfully assuming the Holy Spirit’s Rank can he be said to have fully completed a backdoor listing;

And ultimately, to take over the post of Human housekeeper from the Creator.

If given the chance, it is not impossible for him, relying on Araiyer to replace the Heavenly Heart with the Human heart, to break through the boundary of the Humanized World and peer into the Natural World.

"Huh? Replace the Heavenly Heart?"

Following the route already mapped out, Byron naturally pushed forward the path he would travel in the future to this point, then suddenly froze.

He realized he seemed to have caught a glimpse of who exactly the other side was that, in [Hidden: Life-and-death duel at the Triple Point], is locked in deadly combat with the Human Three Gods.

If the Creator, who has already walked this road once, holds the same idea as he does, then the other side’s name at this moment is already ready to spill from his lips...

But for now it was all conjecture on his part, and Byron dared not be completely sure.

Just then, a chorus of kill-shouts broke his train of thought.

"Kill! Don’t let those Kin get away!"

Looking up, he saw two Kin legions accelerating their flight now that they no longer had the mistletoe blocking their way.

From the moment the mistletoe and Byron’s side started mutually pinning each other down and could no longer mind anyone else, the Deep Dive Church and Twilight Church had immediately begun to contract their forces and shift their course.

But Byron, well prepared, had long since left a reserve force.

Before the surviving remnants of the Deep Dive Church could steer their many Ghost Ships, activate the Edge of World Pass, and flee to the Edge of the World...

A sudden eruption of green radiance burst across the sea opposite.

Another massive Phantom Fleet of Ghost Ships flying the military flag of the North Sea Empire leapt out ahead of them from the two-world passage.

At its head was a colossal First Level Battleship, a Giant Dragon Figurehead hanging from its prow—none other than the flagship of Prince Edmund Lancaster of Solenberg, the Quasi-Legendary Warship Blue Dragon King!

From the moment Byron received the news that the Undersea Kingdom was besieged by the Six Great Sects, to the moment the Six Great Sects went to War, there had been a window of more than ten days.

It just so happened that the Radiant Queen had arranged a Fifth Order ascension opportunity for Prince Sorrenberg, so Byron simply had his old man and a Phantom Fleet transferred over in advance.

They made it to the Netherworld of the Lower Desert Empire before the great War began, and now the entire force descended upon the battlefield.
