Chapter 3188: The Commonwealth! V
Everything retained its calmness after the brief eruption of Authorities that stemmed from a few simple words.
Words that Noah said freely before, but he now engraved them in his heart.
The Purity of Existence is what keeps the Wheel turning!
It was something wholly against what he was doing, but it seemed critical to the Commonwealth.
His eyes burned brightly at this thought as he brought the illusory pages from the Manuscript of Existence closer while his left hand tapped out.
A small cut appeared on his finger with this simple tap, and from it, a drop of golden blood containing minuscule weavings of the Existential Omniversal Lumen Emperor Lineage flowed out!
Only small tendrils of weavings of his Lineage.
The eyes of Ashmole lit up as he opened his pristine Manuscript of Existence- its pages actually flying out and rotating around him as if they were stellar bodies.
A single blank page came out as it was the one to receive the golden drop of blood.
Blood and paper came in contact.
And the page began to vibrate with a cacophony of noises as Ashmole's entire being focused!
At the same time, Noah looked at the first illusory page he had gained from the Manuscript of Existence.
[Gigantomanus]:: A species with a unique Source of Existence that is reliant only on size to determine their power. The Gigantomanus start off the size of an atomic particle and gradually increase in size as their Existence becomes more enriched. As they increase in size, their existence becomes increasingly harder to enrich as they have to devour a great deal of the pure essence of Existence to advance. Those who have attained the size of Domains of Existence are dangerous, and Legend has it that one Gigantomanus has long since attained the size of an Omniverse, but such a creature has yet to be observed. Further analysis of the Gigantomanus has been broken down in Physiology, Behavior, Quantifiable Values...
A single page.
And yet it held a great deal of information within that opened Noah's eyes to another Source of Existence.
A system of Existence based purely on size!
The larger they were, the more powerful they were.
It was a simple and straightforward System of Existence as it didn't rely on anything else.
No concepts, no wealth, nothing!
It made Noah even hungrier for coming in contact with such an Existence as if he could study their physiology, he would likely be able to assimilate this Source of Existence into his Atlas as well.
His Will moved rapidly to another page.
[Leubh]:: A unique Lineage of Existence found within an Omniverse plagued by eons of peace and serenity. It relies on the power of love and affection to propel one across the weavings of Existence, with those burning with boundless love being capable of withstanding a few moves from even someone of my caliber. The thought was to initially dismiss them as something such as love was not an idea I considered truthful towards the Origins of Existence themselves, but these creatures have truly overcome everything over the eons with the power of love. Idiotic, but useful nonetheless. Further analysis of the Leubh has been broken down in Physiology, Behavior, Quantifiable Values...
...!
The power of...love?
Even something that sounded outrageous like this could take one towards Autarchy?
It was a maddening possibility as just when Noah was about to flip onto another page, his Will that was also always monitoring Ashmole and what was occurring with the record of a smidgen of his blood...caught something that forced him to pause.
The figure of Ashmole...was trembling.
A terrifying Entity that collected information of dozens if not hundreds of Entities from different Sources of Existence...was trembling moments after a drop of blood from Noah entered his Manuscript of Existence!
The white page was pointed gold as it pulsed again and again.
And every time it pulsed, the expression of Ashmole became more and more stern until he turned his gaze towards Noah's figure.
And he looked at him as if he were looking at an Omniversal oddity.
"What are you?"
...!
What was he?
It was a simple and obvious enough question, and yet Ashmole took the golden page Noah's blood had dripped on and shook it within his hands as he continued.
"Every creature has a Source. An Origin. Draconian. Simian. Viral. Bacterial. Plantae. Human. Every single creature I've recorded has a Source stemming from a certain type of Existence. You...I cannot locate your source. You look human. You seem human. Your physiology is human. But your Origin...is not human. So what exactly are you?"
WAA!
A bold accusation!
One that the Existential Omniversal Lumen Emperor shook his head towards and spoke with sharp eyes.
"I was born human, and I've continued to be human. My Origins have never changed."
His Bloodline had evolved over time.
He had incorporated lineages of other races into him over time.
Ranging from Reality Ursidae to Willow Tree, all the way to Demons, Celestials, Kun Pengs, and more!
But ultimately, his basal form remained human.
His Origin remained human.
Yet even as he affirmed this Ashmole shook his head with a somber expression.
"No, you don't understand."
HUUM!
"Even if you had mixed qualities of other Bloodlines into yours. Even if you had remained pure throughout. You would still carry a marker. A signature that distinguishes you into a certain group. You...don't have any such markers. Your Origin is not something I have observed across my eons of research and many travels across different Omniverses. I cannot pinpoint exactly what you are, but I can say with absolute surety that you, my friend, are not human."
...!
His eyes were filled with immense seriousness.
He looked Noah up and down as if he were dissecting and analyzing everything, wishing to know even more as at this time...
"It seems like our meeting has to come to a close here"
...!
His figure rose as he put the rest of the illusory pages of the Manuscript of Existence he had obtained away.
The Authority of the Laborer of the Atlas of Existence began to flicker as the quick change of pace caused a change in the expression of Ashmole whose mind now seemed entirely fascinated by the entity before him.
An Entity with an entirely unknown Origin!
