<h4>Chapter 340 - Chaos Reduction, Fear!</h4>
Silence reigned in the area of the monastery that Noah, Athena, and the Grandmaster were in as the two were looking closely at Noah. The words of the Grandmaster repeated in his mind as even more came.
"I realize the concept of a destruction of a world is very foreign to you, even more so when you have to act to personally cause it, but the fact that doing this would save the world that you came from should act as a buffer and cause you toe out of this with even more experience."
The Grandmaster held a passive look as he casually mentioned the destruction of an entire star along the lines of training. Noah’s mind went back to the Lost World that had received a simr verdict of destruction months ago, where Athena had been the one to initiate the destruction under the watch of a Celestial.
He was trying to think what exactly the Celestials had observed while using [Fate Discernment] that made them pass a verdict of a destruction of a world simr to what they were doing to the Magus World now.
Noah took a deep breath as he looked at the Grandmaster while wrapping up his thoughts, speaking in a thankful but difficult tone thereafter.
"I’ll have to thank you first Grandmaster, for keeping in mind the World of Cultivation amidst this chaos. I will dly do anything to prevent the destruction of the world I was born in, but..."
He looked at the impassive Athena by the side who was watching him with a piercing expression and the impassive Grandmaster as he continued.
"The destruction of the entirety of the Magus World...is it really the only way to stop this possible chaos that woulde from this conflict?"
".."
Silence reigned in the room as for the first time since his entrance into the 7th Celestial Star, a look of disappointment appeared on the face of the Grandmaster as he observed Noah. This look only came briefly before it changed to one of pondering, looking towards Noah is an understanding tone as if the powerful figure had realized something.
"Your talent has been so bright that I had forgotten you have only been here for a month, and haven’t been given the supplementary teachings on the best ways to reduce chaos."
The Grandmaster pointed to the illusory figures of the rotating World of Cultivation and the Magus World as he continued.
"Over the thousands of years that we have been influencing fate and honing our techniques, we havee to create the best course of actions that we follow strictly. Such actions range from the destruction of worlds to the saving of numerous more. IT is these actions have guaranteed a high level of sess in reducing chaos and instituting order."

"When ites to a case like these twos whose conflict will only expand to the surrounding stars, the routine course of action is the destruction of the star and the beings responsible for instigating such chaos."
...!
Noah’s eyes gazed upon this Grandmaster as he controlled his thoughts and put on a quizzical expression while asking.
"Grandmaster, what about those that had nothing to do with the course of events that the major force of the Magus World undertook against the World of Cultivation? What about the families of poor unknown beings that had no hand to y in this war? Why should they also face death along with those responsible?"
The Grandmaster looked at him with an impassive face as he replied.
"You are not the first disciple to have questioned the destruction of an entire star as the most suitable method to reign in the caused chaos and reinstitute order. I will tell you now that besides theplete destruction of all those responsible, there is another factor that weighs in heavily to correct the chaos and establish order. That factor is...the fear that creeps into the hearts of all the neighboring stars and any that would hold simr designs like those who were just utterly destroyed."
...!
That’s right!
This was the way the Celestials had found to be the most useful in reducing the chaos instigated by a particr while also bringing about an era of peace and order that was achieved through the fear of those that would know of the results of actions that caused death and chaos!
The destruction of those involved in their entirety would stop any future possibilities of them rising up again and continuing a cycle of chaos, while their actions acted as a message to all those withholding simr grand designs for power and made them never even put such ideas to light.
"We work to bring order, and look at our actions to make sure that we save the most lives in any given situation. This current situation where the erupting war between these twos will cause deaths in the tens of billions across multiple stars...the verdict took the course of action that would save tens of billions of lives by taking away a few billion from the origin of this instigated chaos."
"If we do not act, tens of billions will die. With our action to destroy the Magus World that is responsible, only a few billion beings die while an era of peace and order can be established on the surrounding stars as those who consider themselves powerful are reminded yet again of the result of causing chaos. With all of this in the picture, why would we not act? Why would we not move to save tens of billions of beings?"
The impassive gaze of the Celestial Grandmaster and the piercing Athena closed in on Noah as they observed him closely. His hand was ced on his chin as he seemed to be pondering, no wordsing out from him as a reply!
He was thinking about the reasoning of the Celestials and the results achieved from their actions, even if they seemed vile and horrendous. Just what exactly was the right course of action?
