Zero squinted his eyes. That golden light surrounding the Water Supreme Dragon's body gave him a very familiar feeling and he had a good idea of what it was, but surely he was wrong.
Gaia was the goddess of creation and he had been of the mind that the gods had domain over a single power, unlike lesser beings who could sometimes wield multiple elements but to a lesser extent. Although he wasn't experienced when it came to godly powers and their limits, he was almost certain that his theory was correct given the bits of knowledge he was aware about.
But if this golden light was really the doing of the one and only Life Laws, then he needed to seriously reevaluate the power of the creation goddess.
…
[Shore]
'...Those are definitely the Laws of Life.' Chad thought as he peered at the golden light with astonishment.
As far as he was from the scene, there was no way he could mistake what he was seeing for anything else. His body was quite literally part Life Law Essence and it made him highly reactive to its energy.
He didn't even need to observe it with his Spirit Sense, he could practically feel it against his feathers like light rays from the sun.
'But how could this be? Is she not the goddess of Creation?' Chad fell deep in thought, occasionally sending out golden flames to kill foes more on instinct than conscious thought.

[Forest]
The calm on the face of the corrupted Savage Earthen Ogre had become stiff. His all-green eyes were narrowed and the Mark of Envy on his forehead was shining brighter than before, almost pulsating with the energy contained within.
'This could be problematic...' Envy thought.
When he decided to temporarily take over this body to scry out his various enemies, he did not expect to find something this interesting.
'She can utilise the powers of Life too?'
Unlike others, he was a lot more knowledgeable about this topic. In fact, he had personally (kind of) seen Gaia's ability to use other Laws already, way before she arrived here and displayed that ridiculous illusion. However, the Laws of Life too?
Was this not too much?
It's one thing to dabble in the Laws of Fire, it is another thing entirely to dabble in the Life Laws. Where does one even find the capacity to contain all of that ethereal knowledge, talk less of the physical affinity to utilise it all.
'Is the power of creation really this great or is it something unique to her?' Envy thought deeply. He wasn't afraid of anything she had currently displayed, not even in the slightest. But he would be a fool if he did not heighten his caution at the sight of a big mystery.
Gaia's usage of the Laws of Life proved that Envy had been underestimating her, and if that were the case, what was to say she didn't have other tricks hidden below the surface and waiting to ensnare him?
He already knew that the leaders of the allied Continents had hatched a plan to defeat him and he had accounted for various possibilities in lue of that. But now, having been confronted by the hidden trump cards of his enemies despite his efforts to unveil them all, he was beginning to take this more seriously.
'Very interesting.' He mused.
The possessed corrupted ogre began stroking his chin in thought.
'Well, no matter. Things are still going accordingly. Those pesky Death Howlers have been dealt with and the Dragons have expended a lot of their strength. One of their Supremes even pushed herself to the point of almost passing out! Haha! Ha… Tch.'
He was reminded that with the power of the Life Laws, the Supreme Dragon was likely to return to full strength before anyone could take advantage of it.
The Life Laws were such a pain to deal with. He would know.
'You know what, I was planning on waiting for a better moment but the situation has changed.' Envy made a change in plans.
The green in the corrupted ogre's eyes receded until only the iris was green and the mark of Envy on his forehead faded.
For a moment he blinked in confusion and apparent dizziness, but then a flash of understanding appeared in his eyes and he abruptly dropped to his knees.
"Thank you for using my pitiful self as your vessel, oh great one!"

[A different location of the Forest]
Titania shook her head at the absurdity of everything that had come to pass. She couldn't help but feel tense. Multiple events that would only occur once every few weeks or even months were now happening one after the over in a single day. No, not just that. Events that had never happened before were also happening this day.
Entire continents and vast regions of the sea uniting for a common cause, 2 species eradicated, multiple 4th Realm creatures dying, a goddess displaying her might, a Supreme Dragon reaching the brink, corrupted Envy creatures covering the land as far as the eye could see, and more.
It was clear to all that the danger of this war was entirely unprecedented and overpacked with lethality. They didn't need a downpour of rain, hail and thunder to prove that. The graveyard of 2 species were sign enough. So just who could guarantee their safety? Even the goddess had claimed that she herself could become a victim and die.
"Haah…" She sighed. "Let's go. This time we won't stop, I fear we no longer have the luxur- ARRGH!"
Titania screeched in agony as pain lanced through her chest, followed by a surge of paralysis as electricity ravaged her insides.
'Wha-? NO! Not again!' Her mind switched into high gear as understanding dawned on her mind immediately. Wrath mingled with sorrow soon emerged within her heart.
"ALAN! ALAN YOU DARE?!" Came the voice of Trixina, a female Grand Elder.
'It's Alan?!'
She spread out her Spirit Sense, revealing the truth of her 2nd betrayal.

ANNOUNCEMENT!
As promised, the game is now public for all to play, but that's not all. There is a 2nd competition taking place similar to the 1st one. In this one, the first 16 people to reach max cultivation (with video proof) will be eligible to enter a fighting tournament. However, instead of obtaining a custom bloodline, they will obtain a custom physique, complete with unique powers that only they can wield.
Something like this is likely to never happen again, at least not this easily, so I advise you all to try your best.
Happy cultivating!
