Everything has a price! I
Everything has a price! I
Truthfully, Noah did not fully understand how the law of fire completed and stabilized the myriad of daos and Laws under the skill of the Endless Rays of Time.
The chosen daos for the Endless Rays of Time were Chronos, Reincarnation, Space-time, and Vitality, along with the laws of Life and Death. The idea that the vibrant and raging law of fire would be the Stabilizer to bring all of this together- a 'mere' law of fire...was not something that Noah completely understood.
But, he didn't need to understand because as long as everything came together seamlessly, he could enact the Cosmic Dao of Fusion to bring it all together!
As long as they were compatible, they could be fused into something beautiful.
THRUM!
The golden white suit he wore billowed in the uncomfortable waves of Pandemonium as his expression hardened, his body beginning to be suffused with the light of the Primordial Dao and Ruination.
The essence of these Daos was required to call forth fusion, and he was doing so with fervor as the multicolored essence of this Cosmic Dao erupted out, Noah controlling it to suffuse over the Endless Rays of Time around him!
Other beings who would have glimpsed an Edict such as this would be chasing it all their lives or try to recreate what they felt here today until they succeeded, but Noah directly washed over the collection of Daos and Laws with a unique Cosmic essence as a moment later...unique waves of essence began to undulate.
THUMP!
Like the beating of a heart.
THUMP!
Like something just waking up!
Noah's eyes glimmered with an array of colors as his Origin thrummed, observing the process carefully as he saw within the Endless Rays of Time...thin lines of Daos and Laws were becoming separated and plucked off by the essence of Fusion as one by one, these lines began to surround each other in a circle.
Chronos became a thin purple line that pulsed calmly, Reincarnation glimmered white as it pristine bathed its surroundings, Space-time and Vitality shone black and green as the laws of Life and Death took these same colors!
Lines of these daos and Laws serenely rotated around each other as finally, a crimson line of blazing flames representing the law of fire came in last as it actually wrapped around the lines standing together in a cylindrical fashion...and then it began to pull all of them together.
The Cosmic Essence of Fusion also gushed into this mixture as an eruption of glorious light ensued- the myriad of separate lines slowly coming close as they disappeared into each other, slowly but surely becoming a singular line!
THRUM!
The myriad of lines came infinitely close to fusing together into a singular one, but at a certain point...they all came to a stop.
"Hmm?"
Noah's bright eyes observed the situation carefully as even when his Origin gushed out more of the Cosmic Essence of Fusion, there was no reaction to the cluster of lines about to become one as it seemed apart from everything Noah had done- there was still another piece he was missing!
Noah was unhindered as his hand grabbed towards the cluster of lines yet to become one, these lines reacting to him as they seamlessly sunk into his body and through the connection of his Primordial Ruination Clone- they swiftly appeared in the Origin on Noah's strongest body.
In the main Origin of the Universal Body, this cluster of lines came to float peacefully at the center as they still thumped like a beating heart- each thump releasing waves of information as Noah's eyes shone brightly.
"Even when everything has been met, to actualize a true Nomological Edict into existence requires a price…"
His voice echoed out gloriously as he glanced upon a certain truth! To be the one to design and hold the title as the Architect of a Nomological Edict and actualize such a thing into their Reality- one had to pay a price that wasn't just mere essence!
It had to be the vital essence of one's own Origin, and it was why the ready to be fused cluster of lines were situated peacefully within Noah's Origin at this moment. They sought the essence of the myriad of Splendiferous Universes within before a brand new Nomological Edict could be actualized.
As for the price of actualizing a Nomological Edict such as the one Noah was trying to? The waves of information released from the ready to be fused cluster of lines told him clearly.
"One thousand Splendiferous Universes…" More Universes than what he even had currently in his Universal Body- where a grand 633 Universes rotating powerfully within was considered small at this moment when just days ago, such a number was unthinkable!
At such a development, Noah merely scoffed off as he spoke to himself with a smile.
"No matter. It is merely a delay of what, a day or less? With what I have on hand…"
The eyes of the Primordial Ruination Clone glanced at the three pulsing Primordial Hearts in the cluster of Pandemonium on top of the Runic Dao Line Enhancers and Universal Filament Cores.
A single Primordial Heart was duplicated by him as it granted him hundreds of Universes and birthed multiple Antiquities, a portion of this heart still remaining in Noah's hands even now!
With the addition of 3 Primordial Hearts and the Universal Filament Cores of multiple Daolords, Noah would be able to forge a few thousand Universes as he reached the stages these Forefathers were on in terms of forged Universes right away.
Having to pay the price of 1,000 Splendiferous Universes to actualize his own Nomological Edict then...would not be an issue!
