Chapter 3264 Dictum! Decree! Ordinance! II
Those with power could do things that those without power would look at with awe and shock.
The things Bob was doing were worthy of awe, but Noah only watched them with analytical eyes as within the span of an instant, he found that their surroundings had changed once again.
They appeared in a space where the strings of golden lines surrounded a massive distorted space that held no strings, all of them pushed to form an encirclement of golden strings around this space that actually shone with white radiance.
Akin to a white singularity amidst all the grandeur of gold.
|Come, in this space, we should have no disruptions as we enjoy the Hearthraes with ease. For obtaining all of them, is there anything a new entrant like you is curious to know? I am very knowledgeable, you know!|
Bob hit his chest with confidence as his circular head with the twinkling singularities and devilishly wide smile only became more regal and yet menacing.
Noah floated into this space with Hearthraes swirling around him as he wanted to see how far he could take it with this unknown entity, and just what more he could gain from him.
|What do you know about States of Existence, Bob?|
…!
The thing that Savitar mentioned only truly powerful Protectors having.
Hearing his question, Bob blinked while staring at Noah quizzically, his face flashing with golden brilliance as it instantly flashed with an unfathomable Eye that seemed to observe everything before it disappeared.
He then looked towards Noah as if he was observing a rare animal and shook his head with surprise.
|You really don't know because you actually haven't attained any State of Existence yet…haha, how did you even get here?|
The question from Bob was an important one as he sat down at the center of this white space, tapping his finger out to cause a crystal golden table to appear where all the Hearthraes around Noah floated towards.
His voice then echoed out.
|There are multiple States of Existence that one comes across as their Existence becomes more complex and builds greater Records. At some point, one will come to attain the state of One With Existence.|
At this point, Bob took his limb out and stretched it as in the next moment, it melded in the surrounding space until the entire limb could no longer be seen, as if it entirely assimilated and became one with the surrounding space!
|This is a rudimentary state of existence, the first threshold to cross if one is to eventually transcend their Existence and arrive here. And you, my friend, have yet to even attain this state of existence, but here you are.|
…!
Silence.
Bob stared towards Noah while blinking with bright white brilliance, his voice continuing to echo out.
|After the State of One With Existence, an increasingly complex entity is capable of attaining the state of the Eye of Existence if their very Source of Existence is strong and complex enough. In that state, the number of information about the weavings of Existence at your fingertips is unfathomable. You begin looking at Existence in an entirely different way. This step is what allows you to find the eventual doorway of Transcendence to arrive here.|
|Over the countless cycles, many have reached the apex of this State of Existence and been lucky enough to arrive in the Expanse. But, there is one more State of Existence that some truly terrifying Entities attain before they step foot in the Expanse.|
…!
One With Existence! Eyes of Existence! Preset pathways that all others had to follow, and yet Noah had made a major jump and attained his entry into the Higher Weavings of Existence without any of these. Without having attained any of these states at all.
How difficult was what he had done? How impossible was it? And after these two states, there was still one more.
They all dealt with increasing complexity and power of one's existence to reach an extremely high point before such states could be attained!
|For some, transcending their existence is immeasurably hard due to a great deal of complexity that others cannot even compare to. Such Entities go a step further into the Third State of Existence. Some call it the Decree of Existence. Others call it the Dictum of Existence, or the Ordinance of Existence depending on where they are from. But it is a state where one takes all the complexity of their existence and reduces it all to a single Decree. A single Dictum. A Single Ordinance! Such entities are unfathomably powerful. Should you meet them in this endless Expanse and evoke their ire, say your prayers and prepare for endless darkness, my friend.|
WAA!
Bob spoke with a smiling expression as he broke out into laughter while waving his hands.
|Don't worry though. Even if thousands of such entities appear before us right now, they won't be able to lay a hand on you with me here.|
…!
The mystery surrounding Bob deepened as he uttered a heavy statement.
He talked of Entities so complex and unfathomable in power, and yet he stated that even if thousands of such entities appeared, they wouldn't be able to lay a hand on him.
He crossed his hands and stroked his chin as if he were pondering at this moment, his intent echoing out.
|Entities whose Existence becomes unfathomably complex are very hard to kill. Within the Expanse, and even out there in the Megalos Nihilos, Megalos Beyond, and Megalos Ynnere- you will come across Resurgent Existences. Entities who were once unfathomably powerful but faced destruction…and yet they didn't completely perish. The complexity of their existence and the records they left behind…they find a way to be reborn into another lifeform within their preset bounds of Existence. Those are some truly scary buggers- the ones who have died again and again and keep coming back. I can't tell you the number of times I've had to kill the same entity over multiple cycles…ah!|
|But hey, forget all that. These Hearthraes before us are where existence is really at. The taste! Oh, depending on your foundation and how young you are, they should even help you go towards the first State of Existence.|
