Chapter 230 - Ridiculous Rate Of Progression, Antiquity! I
Before their eyes was a shimmering Altar that screamed of ancientness, Noah and Love not being able to take their gazes off of it as the mere air it released alone would cause any living being to go crazy with greed. It released an air that made one want to grasp it into their own hands and cradle it as if it was their own creation- it was a type of treasure that released a sweet aroma especially to those who needed it the most, and that was Universal Hegemonies that were hoping to break through from a single Universe and into a Universal Filament!
The key in all this lay with Marks of Antiquity, and the Primordial Treasure before their eyes was a unique treasure that granted one just that.
The extremely hard to grasp Marks of Antiquity that required one to influence masses of quintillions of beings in multiple Planes, Universes, or even Cosmos…one could obtain them from this Primordial Heart.
Once one reached Universal Hegemony, they were required to turn their 100 Billion Galaxies within their Universe into Dao Galaxies through the Marks of Antiquity, and when one achieved 100 Billion Do Galaxies within their Origin, their Universe would finally be in its complete form as it became termed a Splendiferous Universe- and from this Splendiferous Universe, a second Universe would grow as it allowed one to go from the Universal Rank and into the Universal Filament Rank.
A rank of where one focused on forging multiple Universes within their Origin- a rank where those in it were termed Nirvanic Antiquities! Existences that normally spent over a million years to reach such a priced realm, and existences that were the peak powerhouses on most Cosmos.
Of course, there was great variation in all the myriad of Cosmos in different parallel Realities, where some Cosmos like the one Noah was currently in didn't have any Antiquities after the death of the Great Usurper, while there could be other Cosmos in a parallel Reality that might have hundreds or even thousands of Antiquities!
The possibilities within the multiverse and parallel Realities were endless as Noah put this in the back of his mind and began to slowly step forward on the golden hallway that led to the Altar encasing the Primordial Heart.
The Hegemony of Love walked beside him as her heart trembled, Morrin and the Universal Annihilatory Crocodile remaining in the entrance of the temple as with light steps, the two of them reached the glowing altar and came to look at it up close, their eyes locking on the truly multicolored and beating heart that released waves of enticing power.
Noah recalled the memories of the Great Usurper as his hand reached out towards the indestructible crystal encasing the Heart, a Crystalline defense that would never break or open for anyone that didn't have the aura of the Great Usurper. Noah had this exact aura as the one to inherit the Legacy, the crystal responding to him as it undulated with intense golden light before it began to open and give way to the treasure lying within.
"A Loot drop from a creature termed a Lesser Primordial Beast. A pulsing Heart that allows one to choose the proliferation and birth of more normal Galaxies or the rapid change of their normal Galaxies into Dao Galaxies to create their first Splendiferous Universe before they proceed to the next one."
His voice echoed out serenely as he reached into the opening casing and grasped onto the pulsing multicolored heart, his Origin screaming for his devour the essence of this treasure as he held himself back for now, his main body observing from the Ethereal Realm as his destiny was currently churning chaotically!
The clouds of death that had been hanging over him were increasingly becoming pierced by golden beams of light, meaning the action he was about to undertake would further decrease the destiny of certain death as it would very soon become a mere percentage chance.
But his eyes constricted a second later as with the knowledge of the Great Usurper and with him currently holding the Primordial Heart within his hands right now…he felt something off.
"This Primordial Heart has already been heavily absorbed and is nearly dry of its essence…and it will probably be enough to birth a 1.5 Splendiferous Universes. Enough for one person to become an Antiquity…and the other to be halfway there."
…!
A problem arose as Love's eyes fluttered, biting her lips as she looked at the pristine treasure before her eyes that would grant her everything she wanted! But it was something that was prepared for the one to claim the Legacy of the Usurper as when she thought about how to bypass this issue, her eyes brightened up as she almost smacked herself in the head.
After the initial burst of an idea, her expression became contemplative as she locked her gaze on Noah's figure, her eyes becoming firm and decisive a second later as she spoke out languidly.
"Every problem has a solution. You know about my Lesser Dao of Love…the reason why Gold and all the other disgusting old fogeys have been eyeing me this whole time."
…!
Noah's gaze locked onto Love as he held the pulsating Primordial Heart, knowing full well about this Hegemony's self designed Dao as he had the memories of all the Hegemonies in the Stellar Expanse that she was a part of! She had inadvertently designed a Lesser Dao that granted an increase in the speed of Realm Progression, Dao Comprehension, and Assimilation!
Of course, the prerequisite was in the name- Love! It involved dual cultivation, and as the architect of this Dao, Gold and other Hegemonies had always wanted to get their hands on Love to further increase their power.
The dark-haired Hegemony of Love had a decisive expression as she spoke.
"As the architect of this Dao, I can comprehend and assimilate it at ten times the speed…and the boosts of Dual Cultivation with me are further elevated and enhanced as when cultivating or absorbing treasures conducive to cultivation, the benefits produced can be more than two times compared to normal. Instead of that Primordial Heart being able to produce 1.5 Splendiferous Universes, producing 3 of them and allowing the both of us to step into Antiquity won't be a problem!"
…!
Brilliance shone from her eyes as they locked with Noah, the Hegemony of Love proposing a stupendous solution!
