However, being saints after all, they immediately made adjustments. Although causal abilities were powerful, they could not completely interfere with them.

The consciousness broke through the blockade and quickly located Avis's presence.

But what appeared before them, besides Avis, was something that looked like the moon.

They instinctively attacked, only to find that all their attacks landed on the moon.

The moon rippled like water, and most of the attacks missed their mark.

Divine Art: Moon in the Water

By integrating spirituality, a special divine art is performed using spirituality. This divine art is very powerful; even a saint was immediately bewitched and unable to break through it.

Avis no longer had any means to resist the Saint. Whether it was the broken connection, fragments of divine artifacts, or special divine arts, these were things that ordinary Gold Saints could not possess.

Avis's actions only allowed him to hold out for a few more seconds against these saints.

In that final second, Avis had no other options left. The Saint had already arrived before him, his holy power surging forth, ready to pulverize his body.

It was at this moment that spacetime began to fluctuate.

The expressions of the saints changed slightly, but they did not stop what they were doing.

Their divine power was united, and then quickly formed a commandment.

The changes in time and space were forcibly stopped.

The saints looked solemn. The reason they had taken so long to capture Avis was because they needed to maintain the special ritual.

The Goddess of Discipline read Nemus's memories and was naturally aware of the existence of the Dragonborn, which is why she had long been on guard against this.

Chapter 911 Cracks in the Clay Tablet

The Goddess of Discipline naturally devoted some of her attention to the situation here.

Whoever gets this piece of destiny will have their fate in the balance of power in the upcoming battles of the Astral Plane.

Such is the tablet of fate.

This thing is a 'declaration' of fate regarding the rules of the world, representing fate's nominal sovereignty over the entire world.

This thing has a deep 'relationship' with deflection force, and the more you acquire, the more it represents the world.

The reason why this thing broke in the first place would probably have remained a mystery to Nemus for the rest of his life if he hadn't found the answer in the memories of the Goddess of Discipline.

Fate establishes its rules through the Tablet of Fate, which is the key to coordinating other rules.

The existence of the rule that deflection force cannot be transmitted to the new world allows us to roughly determine whether the Tablet of Fate was intact during the elemental chaos.

At that time, fate also used clay tablets to establish rules.

Given Fate's high position at that time, theoretically no force could directly act on the Fate Tablet to shatter it.

But there are always exceptions in the world, and that exception is the abyss.

During the period of elemental chaos, the possibilities of the world began to emerge, and the Abyss, as a calamity, possessed the power to traverse the possibilities of the world.

As differentiation occurred, the abyss began to spread.

The abyss that had been gathered together erupted.

In this situation, all the gods need to do is unite once again to suppress the abyss.

However, this is precisely the critical moment for the struggle for deflection force.

When fate summoned the gods, those who were unaware of the existence of the deflecting force were alright, but those with 'powerful divine power' hesitated.

Unlike now, back then everyone had very limited deflection force.

Any amount of deflection force can bring about a dramatic improvement.

Driven by self-interest rather than a sense of responsibility, these deities all chose to slow down.

Although they also dealt with the abyss disaster, they focused more on the struggle for deflection force.

Seeing this, Fate had no choice but to use its clay tablets to enforce the rules, allowing these deities to fulfill their responsibilities.

Faced with this urging, the gods did indeed begin to fight, but they still employed many underhanded tactics.

It was at this time that some deities had the wild idea of ​​trying to obtain the number of destiny, hoping to become the god of destiny.

Perhaps it was because of the precedent of the god of wisdom that the other party believed that it was possible to control the destiny.

They believed that the number of destiny was stored in the Destiny Tablet, and that one could extract the number of destiny simply by obtaining the Destiny Tablet.

Based on this understanding, the other party did something both extremely clever and foolish.

During his battle with the Abyss, he chose to violate a special rule—that gods cannot descend into the material plane.

It's unclear how that deity and the abyss coordinated, but in any case, the deity successfully descended with the help of the abyss's power.

The price of disrupting the rules is being punished by fate, and the tablet of fate will appear to carry out this punishment.

It was at this moment that the deity chose to seize the Tablet of Destiny.

Up to this point, it was nothing more than a delusional god overestimating his abilities to touch a power that was simply impossible for him to control.

The result will only be that they will be completely 'judged' by fate, lose their divinity, lose their divine status, and even have their existence erased.

However, it was precisely at this moment that those powerful divine forces, in order to compete for the deflection force, rapidly increased the degree of the deflection state.

At that time, the entire world became unstable.

Fate seemed to have sensed something and wanted to establish rules to stabilize the situation.

But at that very moment, the tablet of fate seemed to have touched something, and the formation of rules nearly came to a standstill.

Through this memory, Nemes discovered the key—the fragment.

That thing, which also comes from the outer universe, can observe fate, regard it as various kinds of energy, and then exchange those energies that represent fate through contact, trade, and other means.

The violent fluctuations of fate triggered the fragments in that instant—this is Nemus's conjecture, because at that time the Fate Tablets were in a state of vaporization, which made the Fate Tablets structurally unstable.

The reckless god reached out and grabbed the Tablet of Fate, unleashing all his divine power in an attempt to obtain its contents.

The will of the abyss intervened at that time, burning a large number of sinful souls, and countless fragments gushed out from the abyss.

The rules were broken, the deviation increased sharply, and with the eruption of the abyss, the gaseous transformation caused by the fragments, and the attack of the god who dared to do stupidity, everything seemed to come together.

The clay tablet of fate, which originally maintained all the rules, has now developed cracks.

The moment the crack appeared, every single one of the powerful deities who noticed it seized the opportunity and rushed to snatch the Tablet of Destiny while it was still vulnerable.

Fate broke free from the influence immediately, erasing the reckless deity, but it was already too late.

In their struggle for the clay tablets, the powerful deities used their deflecting forces at that time. The Destiny Tablet was attacked by these deflecting forces, and the power of world division acted on the cracks in the tablets.

The final result was the shattering and fragmentation of the Tablets of Destiny, and... the collapse of the world!

Including the possibility of the world where Nemus mainly resides, there are a total of eighteen world possibilities.

Therefore, other deities refer to it as number eighteen.

But now, there are only sixteen possibilities in the entire world.

One possible world was destroyed due to the Earth God's attempts and the eventual battle with the Storm God.

The other one was sunk during the struggle for the Tablet of Destiny.

The moment the tablets of fate shattered, the gods did not consider the consequences; they were simply overjoyed that the shackles of fate that bound them were gone.

Then, amidst the joy, came the scramble for the various fragments.

At this time, the God of Discipline discovered that a large part of the movement had been swept into the abyss.

This kind of involvement might not even have been noticed by the Abyss Consciousness itself.

After all, the fragments of clay tablets are difficult to see without direct observation.

At that time, a large number of fragments emerged from the abyss again, so it's normal that the will of the abyss didn't notice them.

The God of Discipline marked the matter near the fragment at that time.

Ultimately, through the changes and shifts in the markings over countless years, the location where that fragment might exist today was determined.

At this time, the gods gained a deeper understanding of the fragments of fate.

As the end times approached, the gods, though still not believing the world would immediately be destroyed, began to worry.

And that's how that happened—the God of Discipline was cast into the abyss!

Chapter 912 True or False

Such is the tablet of fate.

Before it was broken, all the gods regarded it as an obstacle, a limitation, a shackle.

Due to a confluence of various reasons, the clay tablets shattered, and with the gods' powers and responsibilities becoming unequal, the world spiraled out of control.

However, everything can only be considered a deeply entrenched problem that is difficult to reverse.

In a numerological universe, everything inherently possesses the 'weakness' of relying solely on mathematical expectations.

If mathematical expectations only follow individual will without unified macro-level regulation, it will only lead to resource polarization within the world.

The cumulative expectation in mathematics, the concentration effect under extreme self-will, and the imbalance of power and responsibility.

This is why a world that was created from the beginning, possesses extraordinary power, and has all kinds of destiny-related forces, came to its end in just a few hundred million years.

At this point, each deity realized the importance of the Tablets of Fate.

However, these people's goal was not to have fate mend the mud tablets and put the rules on their heads again.

Instead, they chose to take the uniqueness of the clay tablet of fate to a further extreme.

The more pieces of destiny one controls, the more other rules one can manipulate.

Just like the Goddess of Discipline, she has mastered the way of transformation, but she can also use clay to borrow the rules related to thought and combine those rules with her own divine rules.

Therefore, possessing a portion of the mud will give you many more options in battle.

Once you control most of the Fate Tablets, you will gain more control over the rules.

Only in this way can we better access the world's resources.

Only then can we find a future in this end times.

The outcome of the battle between Nemus and the Goddess of Discipline is actually quite difficult to predict.

They can both grasp various changes. As an ancient god, Nemus can control all kinds of changes, while the Goddess of Discipline has more deflection power.

As her influence grows, so does the amount of deflection she can utilize.

With their thoughts aligned, the two seemed to have rekindled that upward spiral in their relationship.

If the Goddess of Discipline is stronger, Nemus can take advantage of her strength to gain an increase in power.

As Nemus grows stronger, the Goddess of Discipline can detect changes through discipline, thereby revitalizing herself and gaining extraordinary enhancements.

In this situation, what they need is an external force that can disrupt this dynamic equilibrium.

Judging from the current situation, that piece of fate is just an external force.

The clay block, inscribed with maxims about cause and effect, gave the acquiring party an unprecedented advantage.

The Tablet of Fate holds completely different powers in the hands of different people.

In Avis's hands, it merely gave him an additional causal characteristic. However, because this ability was not yet within him, its flexibility was not perfect, and he could not deeply grasp its underlying principles through practice.

If it were in the hands of other gods, then the Destiny Clay could serve as another form of divinity, allowing them to engage with other rules to a certain extent and bringing them great convenience.

She has some knowledge of the Tablets of Fate and can even pull off some outrageous moves similar to those of the Goddess of Discipline.

By using the unknowable nature of fate's clay, they concealed their secret plans.

If the tablets returned to the hands of fate, then the tablets of fate would be the proof of the supreme god, his laurel wreath, and his declaration of his superiority over other deities.

It can be said that this thing becomes stronger when faced with a stronger opponent; the higher the level of understanding and the means, the more terrifying the effect of the clay tablet becomes.

Without hesitation, the saints restrained Avis, their powerful mental energy violently rushing into Avis's mind, frantically searching for memories related to the mud.
