1318 Primordial Stage
"You are... a God..."
Nux muttered with a dumbfounded look on his face. He still was having a hard time comprehending what he just heard.
"I am only a God in this world. It doesn't mean anything,"
Vyriana clarified.
"How do you... become a God of a world...?"
Nux questioned with a curious look on his face and as he asked the question, Vyriana's expression turned grim. She then glanced at Nux and, "You devour that world's will."
"What...?"
Once again, Nux's mouth was agape. It was a big day for him, first, he learned about the Laws, then the Laws of Absolute, then, the fact that Vyriana had her own world, the one where she was a God, and now this... "Every world has a Will of its own, even Yrniel. The will is what governs the Law of the world, whether the one ruling the world would be Beasts, or intelligent beings, one race, or many, the Bloodline of the species residing in the world, the power they have, Everything is decided by the Will of the world. And to become a God of a world... One needs to devour that Will,"
Vyriana revealed and suddenly, another question appeared in Nux's mind,
"What happens when someone Devours the Will of a world, besides the Devourer becoming the God, what happens to the world itself? What about its residents?"
"What else would happen to them? Once the will of the world is devoured, the entire world submits to the devourer, as for the residents of the world, well, they either submit to the God or... die while trying to resist him,"
Vyriana shrugged, revealing the cruelty of the universe.
"So you..." Nux glanced at Vyriana and before he could assume anything, Vyriana shook her head, "I received this world as a gift from my Master, I didn't do anything on my own."
Hearing those words, Nux sighed, seemingly relieved, Vyriana however, quickly pulled him back to reality, "This is the first world I conquered, but it won't be the last one."
Nux turned towards her and the dragon continued, "I will conquer more worlds, this time, with my own powers, and once you are strong enough, You will be helping me in the process."
"What...?" Nux couldn't believe what he was hearing.
"This will be your duty once you join the Ancestral Order. You will be working with me."
"So I will be helping you devour the will of the worlds...?"
"Not just me, you would need to devour the worlds of your own as well. You would need to become a God as well,"
"A God..." Nux muttered to himself.
Soon, however, a frown appeared on his face,
"Why...?" He couldn't understand.
"To achieve your goal, to attain strength, to strengthen your Law and your impact on the universe," Vyriana answered.
"The Stages above Divine are far more complicated than you think."
"What are the stages above Divine?" Nux questioned and this time, before Vyriana could shake her head, he continued, "And please don't give me the 'you don't need to know' answer, I have many questions in my head and I would like it if you can answer them."
Vyriana stared at the man in front of him, Nux looked back into her eyes without stepping back, then finally, "The Stage above Divine is Primordial, the Stage Aeliana is at. Now, don't think it is just a normal Stage, The Primordial Stage is Phase Five of the Cultivation and it alone, is far more complicated than any other stage.
To understand it in a similar way, let me start with a brief description of Laws." Vyriana started, this time, she decided to reveal everything she had been holding back for such a long time.
Although from her perspective, all of this is still too early for Nux to know, since the man wanted it, Vyriana decided to bring him out of the bubble he has been living in and show him the real world, The Bigger World,
The True World.
"The Laws have 4 Levels,
The First Level is what Astaria and Evane have reached, The Formation of the Law.
This is the most basic level, however, just from here, one could get a certain idea about the person's destiny.
The Second Level is the Formation of the Law of Self. This is what happens when one becomes a Divine Stage Cultivator, this is the only level where the cultivator doesn't have to do anything on his own, It doesn't matter whether one is a Complete Cultivator or an Incomplete One, it doesn't matter if they have formed their Law or not, having a Path or not, nothing matters, The moment one steps into the Divine Stage, they form their Law of Self.
In the case of the people who have formed their Law, their Law of Self incorporates the Law they have formed, creating a much stronger Law of Self.
Now, the first and the second level of the Laws was something that you knew about already, The Third Level is what you reach if you wish to become a Primordial.
You strengthen your law, the process itself takes countless years, for most, it takes a lifetime yet they still do not reach the Primordial Level.
Even the Greatest of the Geniuses fall at this point simply because comprehending their own law further than the level they have already achieved is absurdly difficult, to the point where it can even be considered impossible to do so, However, there is one quick and efficient way to do it."
Vyriana spoke, her words grabbing Nux's attention in an instant.
"What is it?"
"Devour the Will of the Worlds."
A solemn look appeared on Nux's face as Vyriana continued,
"Devour different worlds, the more worlds you devour, the stronger your impact on the world will be, the powerful your Law will become, allowing you to break through the Primordial Stage in the process."
"So the reason you wish to devour other worlds..."
"To grow stronger, to reach the Primordial Stage and...
Be free from the constraints of time."
