Soverick received a message some time ago from director Shannon about passing on her legacy to him. He has been busy with learning to forge so he didn't have time for her. He has time for her now. He can't return to his previous life of forging and research since he is supposed to be dead.
Her concept of virtual creation will go well with his understanding of laws in helping him and all of Legion become the best titans of law that they can become. That is for the future. As for now, he will have to avoid public sightings and focus on fusing his laws together to form a concept.
He woke up in a new body and got dressed. He found a type of flexible armor among the possessions in the house. It is in the form of a band of a long and thin black fabric which he has to roll tightly around his body. It covered every inch of his body. It even covered his head and his facial features. The armor wrapped around him and made him look like a black mummy. He got a black cloak that he wore before he left the house. Then he scuttled about in the city like some fugitive that doesn't want to be seen.
"I used to be a celebrity that will be worshipped wherever I go. Now, I am not supposed to be alive and I have been shamed in death. But it was worth it. I would do it all again if I could." He said as he disappeared from the small city he woke up in.
Legion considers how things turned out to be worth it. Just the law of order that he got from the sage and the serpentine world god makes his suffering worth it. He was used by the sage who obviously had no intention of letting him go after being used. He also lost his title as the child of the plane and was also disgraced but he managed to come out of it with something worthwhile.
The title was a means to an end and the end was to become someone of sufficient authority within the plane so that he will have a significant influence on the war during the era of conquest. He is a sage now with some amount of authority within the racial council so he doesn't need the influence of the title. The title of child of the plane was going to be temporary anyway.
The title brought him infinite origin energy but he doesn't need it anymore. Legion-1 and Legion-9 are capable of doing that now with the Authority of the Celestial Supreme. The power boost from the title would have been great to have. Losing it means he will have to find his own source of power then.
He will only settle for a power that is completely his and cannot be taken from him. It will be a source of power that will be with him when he becomes an origin god and maybe more. It is possible to acquire a power that is theirs with the things he got from the sage.
The world spark and the world engine will be used for great things by Legion. The world engine is very powerful and will be easy to use but the world spark is practically useless. Only demon gods can bear to use something like it. Any other person that uses it will gain power but they will also die with the universe.
He knows that a demon god can use a world spark to become a world ender but he put on a show to refuse the world spark. He belittled it and even asked the first sage for information in addition to the world spark. There was no way for the first sage to know that he knows a demon that will appreciate a world spark without trying to kill Soverick to get it.
The first sage wasn't the only one playing tricks during their negotiation. So Legion will find a use for the world spark and grow stronger. They will then visit retribution on the sage when they are strong enough and when the opportunity presents itself.
As for the first sage, he noticed how Soverick escaped. He wasn't upset too much. He observed to himself. "This Legion is an enigma. It is a previously unseen anomalous existence. It is also a dangerous existence. I must be very careful going forward."
He already tried and failed to scry Soverick. It should be easy to scry Soverick now that he is not the child of the plane anymore and doesn't have the protection of the plane. But it wasn't easy at all. The first couldn't get a clear picture. All he got were fragments. A star seemed to be blocking his vision. The star was too bright to look past. The first sage didn't understand what he was looking at. But he understands that Soverick is more than one.
The first sage thought to himself, "At least, I made sure that he got an incomplete realm heart. Now I just have to watch out for him acquiring the remaining one."
He is not happy with the outcome of the negotiation but he is satisfied because he has prevented Soverick from acquiring all the necessary fragments needed to become a world god.
It is his belief that Soverick is trying to acquire the world fragments to become a world god. It doesn't have to be for Soverick's personal use. It could be that Soverick is trying to get the fragments from someone else. But since Soverick didn't get a world seed, he will need to get it from somewhere else. That will create an opportunity for the first sage to acquire more information about Soverick and whoever he is working with.
It is an avenue of information that might be of help if his current trip doesn't work out. He is on his way to inspect the stars around the realm of high heaven. The first sage might not understand that the star he is seeing in Soverick is a large body of cosmic energy, but he knows that Soverick is in the realm of high heaven and therefore might be somehow related to the stars of the realm. That is just simple deduction.
