Lord Shadow

Chapter 1714: Distributing the Lot of the World IV

The Sea of Light is actually pretty peaceful. And it is one of the safest seas out of the ten Seas. When it is night, it glows with light.

The only benefit that is seems to had is to buff the people that is inside or around the Sea of Light.

But there is also some restriction in this sea.

The route going to the Sea of Light is dangerous.

And there is restriction of no flying in that sea.

There is rules of the law that is embedded in the area all around that sea causing anyone that enters it to not be able to fly.

Other than that, the other ability one would have is not restrained at all.

Only the ability to use any laws that enable flying.

Even flying devices made out of electronic would fail the moment it enters close to the Sea of Light.

At first, Azief thought it has something to do with gravity.

But after a simple examination, he deduced that it might be some kind of rule-based binding laws that created such phenomenon.

Azief heard of this. Godlike figure in Grand Supremacy realm could create rules. For example, this place would have no food for forty years.

The moment such a being spoke such word, the laws of the world would find a way to make sure that those words that is spoken turns into reality

Rule.

That is the power of a rule.

For the rule to be successfully implemented., the one doing it must have sufficient power and understanding of a certain law to impose such rule

Azief believe that the situation in the Sea of Light and even in some other seas of the Ten Seas is related to some kind of rules imposed on this.

”Is Narleod wanting to complement his Strom Tide and that is why he chose to get the Sea of Light? Or did he knows that the Republic wanted the Whirling Sea and choose not to compete with Jean?”

Azief think a few more of such possibilities

”Or did he get some news from other members that the Sea of Monster is already reserved for the Wilderness and that is why he chose the Sea of Light?” Azief has many questions in his mind but he just ignored it.

It doesnʼt matter why Narleod wanted the Sea of Light. It is good that he would not clash with the other world powers in choosing a place

This is something very important.

Just like when Azief separated the world into seven powers, the impact of that affects the whole world. And because there is many interests involved, if the people in the discussion is dissatisfied, while they might not show it in front of him, later behind his back, these dissatisfied party would always tries to do some underhanded means to get what they believe is theirs

If everyone is satisfied with their lot and could be convinced to get another land, then it is all for the better.

”Now, there is the Cloud Sea. Who wants it?” Azief look at Raymond. Raymond shook his head.

”Lotus Order would not mind taking it” This time it is Jean that spoken.

Jean could see the faces of the people in the room. Especially Hikigaya and Oreki

”Japan is making allies all over the world. The Senate had decided to grow closer with Asia to limit the World Government influence there and I donʼt think it is a bad thing for you”

Hikigaya only snorted at this. He could hear what Jean is saying but if he is told to believe Jean, he would not do such an idiotic thing.

Everyone is fighting for their interest, and Jean has always been cunning.

It might seem like a win-win situation but with Jean, he is known to make a win-win situation turns into ”I am the winner in the end”

That is the common method of Jean and the Senate.

The Senate might have its flaws and its argument but when facing an enemy or an interest that could profit them, the bursts of creativity of scheming against their enemy is second to

none.

If not, how could they have managed to survive during the early Fall when they have to compete against the World Government in the world stage.

At that time the World Government have great advantage but they still manage to survive by consolidating their power, not recklessly expanding, and not making an enemy out of the heroes of the world, becoming an antithesis of Hirate slogans and revolted against that idea. This won them many allies and now they reap the rewards of their cautiousness and sound policy

”Cloud Sea, huh?” Azief mutters to himself.

He thought carefully before giving a certain sea to some world power. It is because he fears that the world powers would take it and harm the world

There is too many causes and effect between him and earth and the people living in it. And after separating the Ten Seas that cause and effect could either be reduced or increased.

Merit to contain cause and effect, merit to offset certain cause and effect.

The Cloud Sea is a sea that does not have that much benefit. At least not militarily. Instead, it is one of the pirate strongholds

Azief look at Jean and then ask

”The Cloud Sea is still a stronghold of the pirates. Could the Lotus Order bring order to this place? Knowing the Pirates, they would have a way to hide themselves among the cloudy

waves”

”The Lotus Order seems to discover something about the Cloud Sea” Jean reply

Azief only smiles and shakes his head

”That is not what I am asking. I am asking if they could restore order?”

He paused for a second before continuing by saying

”The Lotus Order is plagued with internal problem since its formation. How many times have they come to the World Council asking us to mediate the conflict in their region?”

Azief ask.

He himself come from Asia. And it is quite a peaceful continent.

It is not in turmoil like the Middle East and while it has its problem most nations in Asia is

quite in peace.

Like any other continent in the earth, it has its own fair share of the problems.

But after the Fall, the old system was torn down and new problems come with it. The world is full of ambitious people and Asia is big, the land is big, the people is many and so there is also many talents in the world that wanted to seek a place for themselves in the troubled world China during the Fall was almost wiped out. Their population is reduced to only one percent. It was almost like all of the Chinese people were reduced to extinction

The nation near them which is the South Korea and North Korea is also not spared with many of them also was wiped out during the early days of the Fall.

South Korea has a reserve army before the Fall but when an army of mortals fought against colossal titans from God know where, it is like throwing an egg to a stone.

In Asia Vietnam, Thailand, Malaysa and a few other small Asian nations was not hit that hard by the meteors or attacked by the monsterʼs

Order of Thinkers speculate that the Fall targeted big nations like the US, Russia and China, it also targeted nations that have nuclear power

One of the Order of Thinkers speculate that aliens once came to Earth and they tampered with nuclear devices of the great powers of the world

In that speculation, the Order of Thinkers scientist believe that the stronger the nation, the more it is subjected to the attack

But that is clearly not the only way the Fall judges where it transported its monsters. It also

seems to judge it by the damage it done to the world

But all of this is speculation.

The result was that most of Asia is empty after the Fall.

Vast swathes of land is devoid of people, only monster roaming all over the world.

Other than Japan which somehow is not attacked that fiercely by the Fall, most of other nations in Asia is hit hard.

Hence after the initial chaos of the Fall, the people that survives are all fighting for the world.

Hence, there is many warlords all over Asia just like in the African continent and Europe

While the African continent created the African alliance, and Europe was held together by World Government (during the time before the formation of the seven world powers by Death Monarch) Asia had no central authority and each region or borders is redrawn and changed every day with each warlord fights for their places under the sun.

But they do not fight for the things that the old government fights about.

they do not fight for oil or resources or money.

A new world had dawned and because of that, new resources had sprouted

The powers and factions and forces in the world fight for caves and dungeons that is

populated by monsters.

These are the places to quickly increase the level of their soldiers and increase their strength.

They fight for ancient artifact that could enhance their power. They fight for energy stones that become the new currency of this world

If they do not use it as a currency, they could also absorb the energy in the energy stones to heal them or to supply their energy when they are exhausted.

They fight for places and sites that have great accumulation of energy.

These are the things they fought for

The warlords are unruly and there were even times, that the Lotus Order nearly capsized on

itself.

If not for the fact that Lee Sangmin created the Lotus Palace and turns the entire city into a canvas for his formation the Lotus Order would have already ceased to exist.

Now, they seem to have all of it figured out.
