This central area would contain the 'command center' that would grant you ownership of this World.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a makeup of teams that the Duchies had, this was an easy task. With the protection of Sovereigns, there was no danger either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That's why the princes themselves came.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the moment they entered the Inner World, they realized something was amiss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The good news was that the resources, aura concentration, and treasures were higher than in any normal Synthetic World.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bad news was that the beasts were far stronger. The environment was way more hostile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The safe trip where their biggest challenge would be outcompeting other princes turned into a quest for survival. It's not nightmarishly dangerous though. But they needed utmost caution.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they make a slight mistake, they'd be facing Sovereign beasts and not just one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, the teams of three Duchies and Prince Shak were moving very slowly in their selected zones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Order & Chaos Zones were different from other zones and were further subdivided into seven elemental zones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ruby Princess picked the Fire subzone, owing to her own divine path.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The soil was practically lava that never cooled. Volcanos fired off every hour. The air caught fire as inflammable substances were spewed into it by various plants.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In one such location where the ground is completely orange-red due to lava, footsteps sounded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A young man whose body was practically on fire ran on the lava, followed by a silent old man whose feet elementalized into the fire so that they weren't affected by the lava.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Prince! Hurry!\" A hoarse voice sounded before the ground suddenly shook and a pillar of lava shot into the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the lava, a three-faced humanoid horse emerged. Its hoofs were glowing red and it breathed blue fire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Facing it was the Sovereign of the Ruby Province, the ultimate protection of the Ruby Princess.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Princess! Get into the volcano!\" He yelled and his whole body lit up with blue flames.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Roaring a war cry, he shot toward the fire horse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The humanoid horse neighed and the surroundings shook. Three more humanoid horses raced towards the Sovereign from afar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Sovereign's face sank and he immediately started firing down the humanoid horse in front of him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though he's strong than any 'normal' Sovereign, these creatures in the Inner Zone were no pushovers. What's worse, he'd have to fight several of them at once!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sky shone with orange, red, and blue as fireworks blasted everything in a radius of a hundred miles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lavas were blown away. Volcanos were razed to the ground. The tough fire plants that casually dipped their roots in lava were torn to shreds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ruby Princess and the Hybrid jumped into a volcano that had blown off a few hours ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The inside was filled with orange crystals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These crystals would help Fire Awakeners improve their powers. But they're mostly useful for mid awakeners and barely helpful for high awakeners.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, even though the volcano was filled with crystals, the Prince ignored them and leaned against a wall. The hybrid stood guard. Like always, he didn't open his mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A Volcano was a safe zone that no beasts approached. So, they're temporarily safe. The Prince finally got the time to ponder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why is this place so different from other Synthetic Worlds?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every Synthetic World had its variations, but this one was a different beast altogether.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Earlier, Ruby Princess was confident in being the one to conquer this world. But now, not so much.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though safety wasn't a problem, winning was no longer a guarantee.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Ruby Princess even wondered if this problem was Zone-specific. Perhaps others were having normal difficulty and only she had this problem?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ruby Princess shook her head with a smile. \"No, that's impossible.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>According to the Myths, Synthetic Worlds or \"Other Worlds\" were actually made by Primordial Gods.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, these worlds were so old that even when the Six Tribes discovered them long ago, they were already thriving.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the myth goes, the Creator left the Universe after creation. The Primordial Gods that succeeded him wanted to recreate the Universe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, they tried to make a Perfect World that could replicate the Universe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These three Primordial Gods commanded the powers of three Avenues-- Space & Time, Life & Death, and Order & Chaos.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Using these fundamental powers, they created countless worlds in an attempt to create a Perfect World.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This Perfect World would be built on the perfect balance of the three avenues. It'd expand to become another Universe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That's as far as the myth goes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All the Synthetic Worlds found so far didn't have any such capabilities. Other than their rich resources, once conquered, they could be used as mobile worlds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their biggest application was to carry armies!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next war of the Alliance against the Jai Empire was fast approaching. Every Kingdom wanted as many Synthetic Worlds as they could.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From all the tests so far, the most common feature of all Synthetic Worlds was the balance in all avenues.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though there are some ups and downs, overall, every zone would be roughly equal. So, that meant every zone would be in the same condition.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Ruby Princess pondered her next move, an injured figure landed in the volcano and saluted. \"Princess, I've repelled the beasts.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hm,\" Ruby Prince rubbed her chin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Prince Emerald would go to the Space Zone. Prince Sapphire would go to the Life Zone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If there's Princess Diamond, she'd go through the Water Zone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maybe if they work together...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Bring the Diamond Princess to me.\" She ordered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes,\" The Sovereign bowed and jumped out of the volcano. This was a safe space and he had no problem leaving the princess there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thirty minutes later, he entered the Water Zone. It's an ocean filled with water beasts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Avoiding fights, he picked a jewel from his storage ring and tried to contact the Diamond Princess.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the treasure showed that the Diamond Princess wasn't present in this area. Confused, he checked a few more times before reporting to Ruby Princess.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Check in the Outer World. Maybe she is messing around with the natives.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Following Ruby Princess' instructions, the Sovereign exited the Inner World and began searching the Outer World.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The treasure still indicated that the Princess wasn't here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After three hours of hard searching, he realized the Princess wasn't in the Outer World at all!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How can she not be here?\" As he wandered into the outskirts of the forest, wondering about the Diamond Princess' whereabouts, he sensed three foreign auras.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Foreign because they didn't belong to the Duchies or Prince Shak and certainly not the natives.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These auras belonged to a man and two women who just killed off a bunch of natives as well as a few beasts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Sovereign stiffened on the spot and he suddenly understood what happened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There are only 15 quotas! 12 were taken up by Duchies and Prince Shak. The last three were reserved for Diamond Duchy!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But if these three came in...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey, you bastards! How dare you steal Diamond Duchy's quota?!\" The Sovereign roared and locked his aura onto the three.\u003C\u002Fp>",1258,"2026-06-06T07:58:32.046Z",1,"novelbin.me","183e4b4ac6dd22d23dcf60cb303cb65fe9a34ccff6fa736ad4695593e1ad488c","divine-path-system-chapter-884","divine-path-system-chapter-882",1773,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fdivine-path-system-cover.jpg"]
