Chapter 1149 - A ! I
As much as Noah wanted to understand the full situation, he had very limited time of less than a minute to scour the Origin and soul of a Primordial and leave before anything drastic happened.
The portion of his soul had entered silently as Noah didn't make any movements in the first second, only observing the things he might be able to pull from this existence as when he looked at what could be considered her Origin and Soul...he was gobsmacked at the sheer grandeur of it all as he saw an endless pristine white river!
A river that endlessly stretched forth in two directions, and Noah could see many glimmering lines and clusters of lights within it that represented Laws, Daos, Memories, and many more things.
It seemed oppressive to stare at it all at once as Noah could actually pick out the essence of Ruination from a crimson colored line, and he could see the essence of the Primordial Daos on a prominent white line right next to it.
But the more incredulous thing to see was that near these lines that represented Ruination and the Primordial Dao...there were multiple other lines and clusters of light that seemed to shine with just as much importance!
This caused Noah's soul to tremble as he actually understood that there were things at the same level of Ruination and the Primordial Dao from the soul of this Primordial! What were they? And the more important question was...could he obtain them?!
THRUM!
His soul shone with a golden glimmer as he couldn't find any information on what he was looking at, only being able to identify Primordial and Ruination Daos because he was familiar with them.
Uniquely...this particular Protagonist's Bookmark was like he was blind and could only choose randomly from what he could see.
The Primordial was just that powerful that even now Noah could not obtain information from her!
For him to grasp anything from her...he had to choose one of the wondrously shimmering lines or clusters of light, and he had to be lucky enough that whatever he chose was something worth this great risk.
As a millisecond passed, Noah made his decision as he glanced from the lines that represented The Primordial and Ruination Daos, glancing at nearby lines that were just as vibrant or even more lustrous!
He chose a particularly vibrant and large glimmering line that seemed to stand out among all the others around, this line stretching along the endless pristine river that was this being's soul. With his intention made, Noah's soul moved less than a second after he entered as he grasped onto a stout line deep in the soul of a Primordial!
To understand what was about to happen next, one had to recall what exactly Protagonist's Bookmark entailed.
[Protagonist's Bookmark] ::...To those Bookmarked, the Protagonist can descend onto their body without their knowledge as he becomes able to assimilate into them for a period of 1 minute. In this period of time, the Protagonist can choose to focus on a specific area such as Experiences, Laws, Realm Progression, Daos...everything that the bookmarked character has accomplished as the Protagonist can rapidly raise their law progression or learn a new law, gains years of experience, enhance their understandings of Realms, enhance their understanding of a current Dao, or step on the path of a brand new Dao that the bookmarked character is adept on...
Experiences, Laws, Realm Progression, Daos...everything that the bookmarked character has accomplished. This was the crucial part!
What Noah had chosen to obtain...might not even be a Dao as it could have been memories or knowledge of faster Realm Progression, or maybe something else entirely!
Noah didn't know what his soul had attached into before he did, but when he locked onto it as he began to suck in its knowledge….
BOOOOM!
He felt like an explosion had gone off deep in his mind.
It felt too high and sacred...like it was something he shouldn't have been touching at all!
Droves of information rushed into his mind as he could barely pay attention to the conversation occurring outside, the voice of the Primordial continuing to ring out.
"Across these vast Ruination Sea, as long as this bastion that you have created doesn't fall...this reality will remain intact. All you have to do now is gain the battle power to seamlessly stand against Cosmic Primordial Beasts, and you will be set."
The words of the Primordial caused the devilishly handsome figure of Aegon to nod, his deep and dark eyes seemingly holding immeasurable weight within them as he spoke out while still glancing at the Cosmos below him.
"I will not be alone. There are trusted existences below me that want the same thing…"
The veiled Primordial nodded at his words as she was about to continue, when her expression below the veil changed to confusion at this moment as she felt something she couldn't quite put her finger on!
At this same time, Noah's main body in the far away Infinite Cosmos trembled as his seas of Fortune and Destiny churned, his mind being sent horrendous danger signals just 30 seconds after he had begun taking in whatever knowledge he had attached himself to in the soul of the Primordial.
These danger signals all told him to leave within the next few seconds, or Calamity of untold proportions would descend!
Noah trusted his instincts as with but a command, the portion of his soul that was used for Protagonist's Bookmark unwillingly detached from the soul of the Primordial and began to run away at speeds even faster than when it had been searching for this existence.
Around this same time, the confusion on the hidden face of the Primordial changed as the Ruination Sea began to shake, a cold voice emanating from her that caused the very Ruination Seas to churn!
"Who?!"
RUMBLE!
The Primordial raised her head as she actually felt a consciousness around them, but it seemed the glorious and regal being beside her moved even faster as his hair danced wildly, his hand reaching out towards a certain direction as his face was stern.
This direction...was where Noah's small portion of soul had begun to escape to!
Time was seemingly moving in slow motion at this moment, Noah's soul trembling as he entrenched the expression of a majestic being whose body had begun to light up with numerous Runic Dao Lines, his hand outstretched as it was trying to clasp onto and break his soul.
Lucky for him...he had trusted his senses and left when he did as this outstretched hand barely missed him, his figure disappearing into the folds of Ruination as the task of returning his small portion of a soul to his main body was something that could be done in a blink!
"Preposterous!"
RUMBLE
Noah could only hear a wrathful bellow ring out as he was already gone, the heart on his main body beating wildly as he could already see what his soul had obtained within those mere 30 seconds.
It wasn't a law or any type of Dao, nor was it knowledge or experience from the Primordial!
It was something so glorious that Noah could not contain himself when he received it, something that was termed…..
A Nomological Edict of Samsara!!!
