《A lonely exploration of Tao》Chapter 26 : World Creation III (cooperation)
Advertisement
It took a long time for everyone to gather in the infinite Chaos, but everyone was curious why Pangu had called them, and they all decided to come.
Pangu started talking as soon as everyone was present, knowing that he had limited time before another fight would break out. Looking down on his peers and their unsuccessful efforts, he couldn't resist first smugly bragging about how creation was his idea, and how he had a new idea that was so great, so impressive it would prove he was indubitably superior to the rest of them.
The crowd soon grew restless, and Pangu almost jumped down to fight all of his doubters, but in the first act of self-control in his timeless existence, he resisted his uges and changed the subject.
He then exposed his discoveries, explaining why everyone was failing over and over again, and proposed his plan to solve it. Everyone would work together and balance each other out to create the world they all dream of. They would create a treasure that melded all of their powers together, in a way reforming an unstable Chaos, but one that would be under their collective control.
There was of course a lot of discussions and arguments, but fortunately it never degenerated into a full blown fight, and they were eventually able to come to an agreement. They accepted to join forces to build a new land, where each of them would contribute their law, and cooperate to protect this new world from Chaos and each other.
To do this, they would start with creating three treasures : First they devised the jade butterfly of fate which would be a tool to harmonise their powers and help them work together. They then built Pangu a formidable Axe that would help him leverage his law of strength to push Chaos away and create an empty region for the world to be born in. Finally, they would pour most of their efforts in crafting the Great Lotus of Chaos, or World Lotus, which would serve as an embryonic form of the universe.

At this point, Avery had been working on his visualisation for more than a month, and had already poured a lot of his insights into it, but it still wasn't even as good as his first black hole attempt. It was just backstory Avery had half-created and half-remembered from vague myths, but this was the crucial point.
He wanted to use the scene of each Chaos god giving their laws to the world as a way to infuse all of his knowledge into the foundation of his mental world, and highlight the invisible rules that governed the world.
When first focused on the concept of four elements, he had needed to detail the those principles in a visible manner, with four planets emitting energy, and it was only after he had grown so familiar with their presence that he could gradually hide them and consider them as an clear underlying principle that no longer needed to be shown.
He was trying to do the same thing now, not just imagining a random new world, but one where he was acutely aware of all of the fundamental laws. He could then slowly consider those principles and perfect them according to his enlightenment.
He would make many events unfold in this new world, and would use them to study Tao. If a normal cultivator would enlighten by contemplating the revolution of the moon, he would be enlightened when he made the moon orbit the earth in a logical way. He would have to take into account all he knew about reality, what was coherent with the world he had built so far, and most importantly his understanding of Tao, and doing so would increase said understanding. He would then use his new comprehension to complement the hidden rules of the world and perfect it.

If he did not know something, he would just not pay attention to it, and pretend everything was being done without him. Just like in a computer game where the closer you were to something the higher its quality would be, he would zoom in on the things he knew and leave the rest blurry, to be gradually supplemented as he learned more.
Returning to the task at hand, Avery was excited to plan out the creation of the world.
The Mazingers had tried many times, but they were never able to create their artifacts, failing time and time again. It was not that their design was faulty, or that their abilities were insufficient, as the Primordials were all insanely intelligent and almost all-powerful.
The only issue was using those capabilities. With so much power, and so much individualism, it was completely impossible for the different Chaos Gods to succeed at working together. As soon as two laws entered into contact, they became violent and practically uncontrollable, so mixing 3000 of them together was unfeasible, even with infinite time to try again and again.
This was why they had designed the jade butterfly of fate. It was a supreme treasure which could allow them to work together, and without it they would have no hope of making multiple laws cooperate and restrain their great power enough to craft a delicate and complicated wonder like the world.
They would be able to use the jade butterfly to craft the universe, but they had to rely on themselves to craft it first.
It was impossible for all 3000 of them to cooperate without help, so they started with only two Mazingers combining their powers to craft a very rudimentary jade butterfly. When that was completed, it would then be used as a platform for a third Mazinger to add his law. The butterfly would be advanced by this new rule, and it would then be able to accommodate a fourth Dao, and so on and so on.
It took forever, with many failed attempts destroying their prototypes, forcing them to restart from the beginning, but eventually, The Jade Butterly of Fate was completed, and the first cooperation of Primordials was successful.
The Mazingers weren't tired, as they were only working one at a time and had had plenty of opportunities to rest. Impatient, they immediately went onto the next part of the plan, which was crafting Pangu's Axe.
It was a relatively quick affair, as it was a simple weapon with every Dao supporting pangu's strength law, allowing him to strike with an exaggerated force. Compared with coaxing thousands of hostile laws to cooperate, using 2999 laws to fuel the power of one law was child's play.
Once this was done, The Chaos Gods started discussing the details of their world creation plan, until the entire lotus had been designed. Their arrogance made them very confident in their success, but they were actually very unclear about what success would mean. They had set out to create a region in chaos that was different, but they had no clue what that difference would entail.
Excited at the prospect of finally seeing something new, the Primordials rushed to prepare themselves and create a new Era.

A Chimerical Hope
The dream we share is simple: no traitors, no masters, only bugs united. Lucidity is a dreamer's sacrifice to reality, and our sacrifice is the vesperbane. A vile transformation through bat blood and black nerve, the vespertine arts grant a mantis power and control beyond this world. Only vesperbanes can give our grand dreams breath — but all vesperbanes are shadowed by an incorrigible potential to instead become oppressors and defectors. Three nymphs will undergo this metamorphosis, yet each holds another dream in their hearts: a scholar who must learn the secrets of the mind to bring the dead back to life; a servant who must atone for lives taken and find a cause unquestionable; and a rebel who must kill an angel and avenge a destroyed home. In this world, the mightiest wield the power to crush cities or spawn monstrous armies — here, there's always someone above you, and it's a long, arduous climb higher. But true power is wielded by those with the cunning and the connections to direct the mighty. In every shadow a conspiracy dwells, and these nymphs already have killers hounding them, spiders weaving webs around them. Anyone can climb to the top, anyone can tangle in these conspiracies — but what would you sacrifice along the way?
