Endless Chaos – Chaos Void Plane: The Path of Knowledge
Chapter 10 – The Eyes in the Void
Night slowly descended upon the flat world.
The false sun faded beyond the horizon while the pale Void Moon Projection rose silently in the sky.
To the villagers, it was just another peaceful night.
But far beyond the world's sky…
Beyond the atmosphere.
Beyond the dimensional layer that protected the planet.
Something ancient was watching.
The Hidden Divine Realm
In a silent dimension hidden between worlds, a vast ocean of golden light flowed endlessly.
This was not ordinary energy.
It was Faith.
Countless threads of belief stretched through space like rivers, connecting thousands of temples, shrines, and believers scattered across many worlds.
Every prayer.
Every hope.
Every desperate plea.
All of it flowed here.
At the center of this divine ocean floated a massive Divinity Core, radiating ancient power.
And before it…
A tall figure slowly opened his eyes.
The God of Belief.
For thousands of years, the world believed he had fallen.
That his divine kingdom had collapsed.
That his faith system had vanished.
But the truth was very different.
His fall had been a performance.
A carefully planned disappearance.
While other gods fought wars and attracted attention, he quietly spread the Faith Ascension Method across many worlds.
Every believer strengthened him.
Every temple expanded his network.
He had been growing silently.
Patiently.
Until now.
But today…
Something unusual happened.
The god raised his hand.
A golden thread of faith energy appeared before him.
Inside the thread was a tiny disturbance.
A fragment of belief energy that had been intercepted.
Not by a priest.
Not by a divine artifact.
But by a mortal.
The god's eyes narrowed slightly.
"A mortal… created a faith condensation structure."
This should not have been possible.
Faith systems were divine mechanisms.
They required authority.
Yet the disturbance clearly showed a knowledge-based structure redirecting belief energy.
The god waved his hand.
The thread expanded.
A faint image appeared inside it.
On a small hill near a quiet village…
A young man stood under the moonlight studying a tiny golden crystal.
Arin.
The God of Belief observed him silently.
The young man showed no sign of worship.
No devotion.
No prayer.
Instead, he was studying the crystal like a researcher examining a specimen.
The god spoke softly.
"…He does not believe."
That was unusual.
Faith energy normally required believers.
But this mortal had used knowledge and analysis to manipulate the system.
The god watched carefully as Arin activated the Chaos Wonder Artifact of Knowledge again.
Streams of information surrounded him.
Even the hidden god could feel its strange aura.
The god's expression changed slightly.
"A Chaos Artifact…"
Now it made sense.
Such artifacts were extremely rare relics born from the deeper layers of Chaos itself.
Even gods valued them.
But the artifact alone was not enough.
What interested him was Arin's mind.
Most mortals would use faith to become followers.
This one was studying the structure of divinity itself.
The god smiled faintly.
"Interesting path…"
Suddenly another ripple appeared in the faith network.
The world's Governance System had also reacted to the anomaly earlier.
That meant the planet itself had noticed Arin.
The god laughed softly.
"Now the world is watching you as well."
Arin had unknowingly drawn the attention of two massive powers.
A hidden god.
And a planetary intelligence.
But the God of Belief did not interfere.
Not yet.
Instead, he whispered quietly to himself.
"Let us see how far you can walk… seeker of knowledge."
His hand moved slightly.
A tiny fragment of faith energy detached from the divine ocean.
The god sent it flowing back through the network.
Toward the world.
Toward the village.
Toward Arin.
Not an attack.
Not a blessing.
But a test.
Back on the hill…
Arin suddenly felt something strange.
The Godhood Crystal in his pocket vibrated.
The Chaos Artifact reacted instantly.
[Alert: High-density Faith Energy Approaching]
Arin looked up at the sky.
His instincts told him something powerful had just entered the world.
But he had no idea what it was.
And far away…
The hidden god continued watching.
Curious.
Amused.
Interested.
Because for the first time in thousands of years…
A mortal had stepped onto a path even gods could not easily predict.
The Path of Knowledge.
And the experiment had only just begun.
