Chapter 3189: The Commonwealth! VI
An entire unknown Origin.
Based on the sheer database of information that Ashmole had, this shouldn't even be possible.
Everything fit somewhere. Whether partly or wholly, everything fits!
But there were no unique markers from any studied Origin that Ashmole could find for this Entity disappearing ahead of him as statically, such a thing shouldn't be possible.
"We'll be in touch."
As Noah disappeared, Ashmole's voice echoed out heavily in this space, his figure surrounded by dazzling pages of his Manuscript of Existence as his eyes were focused on a single one.
A page still unable to classify and fully analyze a drop of blood.
A new mystery he had to solve.
But he was Ashmole.
The secrets of Existence were things he had uncovered too many times, and he would step up to this current challenge as in time, he would solve it.
Was it truly an Origin he had never come across before and it matched no other Origin, or was it something else entirely...
—
A mystery!
While one entity sought to solve something in one area, Noah's other body within the Gladiators' Arena was uncovering mysteries regarding the workings of the Commonwealth ever so slowly- even if it was in how they entertained themselves.
The Tavern of Existence he had entered with the Guide was much larger within than its structure outside, an establishment the size of a small world stretching out within as countless areas held their own unique happenings.
Sections where dazzling arrays of meats crackled over golden flames as they pulsed with the fervor of Existence.
Places where golden rivers flowed down as those near it held chalices in their hands that they dipped into this river to drink its potent nectar. Places where what seemed to be games and competitive sports were taking place- one particularly interesting one being 20 Teracosm Stage Entities facing off against each other as they sought to pierce a miniaturized Cosmos they were kicking with their feet towards an opposing goal on the other side!
This sport alone took an area of a whole 1,000 miles as a few hundred thousand gathered around to see who would come out victorious.
Of course, Noah had been listening to the Guide talking as he went to the area filled with food stalls cooking all sorts of exotic Beasts.
[The Cultivated Beast Meat of the Beluga Sturgeon has been devoured. The elevation of Existence is minimal, and analysis shows a weak Source of Existence not conducive to Cultivation.]
[The Cultivated Beast Meat of the Eonian Cattle has been devoured. The elevation of Existence is minimal, but the unique Source of Existence makes them viable for mass production in the Infinite Omniverse.]
There were very few surprises as Noah obtained a variety of meats to see how many things with different Sources of Existence he could get his hands on.
In the stalls, the monkey like humanoid Entities preparing and selling different types of meats were all looking towards Noah hungrily as he took out vibrant Quintessential Fruits of Existence to pay for large amounts of Delicacies that he also put away for later- enough to even feed hundreds as he wasn't just doing it for his own research, but also for his people to enjoy!
And as he waded through this region of Delicacies, the Guide to his right smiled as he nodded towards another area shining with darkened crimson radiance.
"A big spender like you can really enjoy themselves over there in the Health and Wellness district as well."
The eyes of the Guide were directed towards an area where gorgeous men and women could be seen adorned in loose clothing and welcoming others into tall buildings where nobody could see what was happening within.
Many of the Entities there held a single horn or two horns erupting from their heads as their skin held no fur, with crimson gold wings of light erupting from their backs- their beauty being the main point as their bodies brimmed with vitality!
"Its a unique lineage of Entities who thrive on cultivating with others- the Fae of Vitality. Their time is precious and pricey, but a few hours or days in there, and your Source of Existence will feel soothed and calmed to the extent that making advancements in your existence becomes all that much easier."
"..."
The eyes of the Guide proposed such a place with a smile as Noah only spared it a glance before shaking his head.
"No, let's complete the registration process so I can attain the Mark of the Gladiator."
The Tavern of Existence was full of things to enrich oneself, but he had gotten all he needed for now.
The Guide nodded with a nod as their figures began to flicker.
"Another time then."
WAP!
By the time they reappeared, they were in another section of the Gladiators' Arena.
It wasn't even apt to say in another section, but truly at the very center of the Gladiators' Arena as the figures of the Guide and Noah found themselves atop a floor made of pure gold that stretched out for thousands of miles.
And yet in the far distant corners, massive statues of Entities could be seen, half of which were those with monkey like qualities and golden tails, another half having their own unique physiologies or more humanoid in nature.
Such statues surrounded the massive Arena in all directions.
"The Champions of previous battles. Gladiators of the Omniverses who distinguished themselves to be full of power. This Existential Arena was the land that forged them into Legends, and their Legends carry on to this day."
As the Guide spoke, his tail smashed the center of the Arena they stood on as a golden card flew out- a card that floated towards Noah as it shone with an ecriture that read [Gladiator]!
"If you would mark that with a signature of your existence, you will have your Mark of the Gladiator and be ready to participate when things kick off soon."
...!
