Chapter 502 You look like you're joking to me502 You look like you're joking to me
Peace is hard-won?
That's just the natural course of things, but from ancient times, strife and turmoil have never ceased.
During the age of the gods, there were conflicts between various races, religious sects, and even between two small tribes, all erupting into wars for various reasons.
Even in this era, the law of the jungle, the survival of the fittest, remains the fundamental rule of existence.
Today's apparent peace and prosperity on the surface, but if a nation is not strong enough, it still faces endless turmoil.
Jhin's thinking isn't entirely wrong.
It's simply a sense of crisis emerging from witnessing the power of the mighty Soulmancers.
Constant vigilance against unknown risks, even amidst comfortable living.
The desire to make one's nation and its people stronger is understandable.

Given the current level of human technology, it is still too weak against real deities.
It's like a lower-dimensional entity trying to fight a higher-dimensional one.
Nevertheless, William also believes that even after the entire Divine Realm descends, there will be corresponding rules.
Just as humans are the rulers of this world, they don't eradicate other living beings.
William observed the other volunteers who had received the injections.
Without exception, they had all become much stronger, but at the cost of their lifespans.
The Shapeshifter lords previously subdued by William had nearly all joined the 13th Bureau, living leisurely and comfortably.
Initially, when they arrived in this world, they indeed intended to conquer it.
But after experiencing William's terror, they completely abandoned that unrealistic notion.
Lernaeus, who wasn't weak even in the void of the underworld, perished instantly upon arriving in this world.
William merely had to release a bit of his aura to instill supreme fear in them. In essence, if William wanted to annihilate them, a mere glance would suffice.
With William around, how could they dare to dream of conquering the world?
"At the base. Is something wrong?"
"Alright, come over."
William had some understanding of modern technology.
After the descent of the Divine Realm, a planet appeared in the same orbit as Earth, significantly larger than Earth, more than twice its size.
With the current technology, it wasn't impossible for Steven and others to have discovered this planet as soon as it appeared.
Humanity has never ceased its exploration of the universe, always seeking the next habitable planet or traces of extraterrestrial life.
Now, a new planet suddenly appearing in Earth's orbit would surely be more shocking than the existence of Soulmancers.
William was curious about how humanity would react to discovering the existence of the Divine Realm.
Would they eagerly approach it, or perceive it as a hypothetical enemy?

So much had happened recently, rapidly changing the world's dynamics. William wasn't particularly concerned, but these events must be startling for ordinary people.
Their previous understanding was continually being overturned, and the limited scientific theories could no longer explain the world.
Steven quickly drove to the base, appearing calm and composed, greeting his colleagues with smiles.
However, as soon as he brought William to his office, his complexion turned pale, and he said anxiously, "Mr. Johnson, our satellites have detected a planet appearing in the same orbit as Earth."
"It appeared out of nowhere!" Steven opened his computer and played a video.
The video showed a space distortion in the vast universe, with light being absorbed, forming a black hole, followed by the sudden appearance of a gigantic planet.
"This was captured by our satellite," Steven said excitedly. "This newly appeared planet is about ten times the mass of Earth but only three times its volume. It likely hosts life forms..."
"With such mass and volume, it will affect Earth's rotation and revolution. Perhaps one day, the two planets might collide."
Steven said a lot in one breath, while William just listened quietly and finally said, "That's the legendary Divine Realm. Many gods from myths reside there."
"..." Steven was silent for a long time, then opened his mouth and asked, "You're not joking with me, are you?"
William smiled and said, "Do I look like I'm joking?"
Steven tried to muster a smile: "You look like you're joking to me."
