Chapter 1272 - I'm Something Of A Reader Myself I
<Plot Control> and <Path to Victory>!
The first two abilities in the Nomological Edict of Kismet would allow him to gather information about his destinies as thereafter, these two abilities allowed him to actually change possible events and even forge a path of ultimate victory!
<Plot Control> was the first ability Noah had to actively cause a change in Reality, however small this change was allowed to be.
From the Protagonist Trait, [Deus Ex Machina] and [Plot Armor] had their own prescribed uses as Noah couldn't choose what Deus Ex Machina called forth, and Invincibility was a given with Plot Armor.
But with <Plot Control>...he could actively change an event, he could genuinely affect Reality in a way he desired!
Beautiful wasn't enough to cut it.
Then, there was the glorious <Path to Victory>.
It could be used on a grand scale as it could show Noah an overview of what he had to do, or he could even utilize it during battles as he would be shown what to do in order to achieve victory.
It was applicable in many ways as since Noah would not utilize <Plot Control> right now, this was the next ability he would see the stupendous uses of!
"Path to Victory."
THRUM!
His golden destiny and fortune flowed freely as a bolt of golden light struck down and smashed into Noah's eyes.
His eyes took in all of this Grand golden light, gradually brightening up as a deep smile unconsciously etched itself on Noah's face as he spoke out majestically!
"I can see it…"
He was shown a grand path to take based on the information he had. He knew what he had to do!

BOOM!
With a shining white light, the Assimilation of the first Cosmos with the Infinite Cosmos was complete as Noah saw the Cosmic Core churning with powerful light, the mechanical voice of this entity showing even more emotion as it conversed with Noah on any changes and possible problems.
This time happened to coincide with when Noah just utilized the <Path to Victory> ability, more than half of his clones that were monitoring the rise of new Daolords under him teleporting away at this moment!
These clones were all teleported across the Ruination Sea where Noah had previously passed to come across the rivers of Primordial Essence leading to new Cosmos, each of them turning into blurs of multicolored light as they went to seek these new Cosmos.
At the same time, Noah made sure to avoid the countless rivers of Primordial Essence that led towards the Primordial Empire in one direction, his clones making a beeline towards brand new Cosmos as a process of enhanced efficiency to fuse even more Cosmos was about to ensue.
Noah did this with haste as he saw a fantastical possibility opening up in the future with the continued and rapid elevation of the Infinite Cosmos!
Thereafter, his Primordial Ruination Clone returned to the Primordial Empire to observe the future that would soon play out, his other Clones continuing to oversee the smooth birth of new Daolords as his people continued to assimilate Ruination and the Primordial Daos to achieve greater levels of strength.
As for his main bodies? His human bodies surrounded a Resplendent Grand Primordial Heart as they sought guidance for yet another profound Edict, their surroundings covered by a fantastical aura of majesty as the mixture of Daos and Laws seemed chaotic...but they would ultimately all go together into something new.
His Universal Body returned to absorbing the thousands of Resplendent Lesser Primordial Hearts that still remained as his Origin was suffused with the birth of new Splendiferous Universes, resuming his path of going towards 1 million Universes and above it as on top of all this...the golden essence that covered his Splendiferous Universes to the brim was flowing slowly and beautifully into a glimmering golden book.
<Reader's Foresight> was active as the expenditure of this ability was low depending on who Noah viewed- and for as long as it wasn't ridiculously overpowered characters with multiple Edicts under them like Aegon and Hyperion, Noah didn't have to worry about the expenditure of his Golden Destiny and Fortune!
So while forging hundreds of Splendiferous Universes every second, he also had a light smile as he watched the golden pages be filled with pristine white words that told a story.
A story of things he shouldn't know as he peered into the lives of a few specific beings! There was a dense cluster of secrets surrounding the three Family Heads and Halcyon, and so Noah focused on these beings as through them...he would even get information on Aegon!
"Let's see…" Noah's eyes brimmed with light as he spoke with a devilish expression. "Family Head Stormdust was it? Let's see what secrets you're hiding...let me know more of your connection to Primordial Beasts and Tainted Ones!"
WAA!
With a ridiculous ability, Noah read ahead on what was to come as he focused on future events at this moment to gain the most!

The river of time flowed serenely and without disruptions as a day passed.
"OOOH!"
The Cosmic Battlefield was vibrant and filled with excited shouts, Antiquities, Daolords, and Forefathers alike watching the second unfolding and devastating battle between the House of Havenbreaker and Springforge.
BOOOM!
Space could be seen ruptured and torn in multiple areas as the bodies of Forefathers and Daolords as large as Galaxies could be seen strewn across the broken barriers of Galaxies and Universes!
The shining of Resplendent weapons that were Quasi-Cosmic Treasures took the breath of all those watching, the essence of Ruination and the Primordial Daos being among the many that currently flew around madly across the center of the Cosmic Battlefield.
It truly looked like a war that had the Forefathers and Daolords as its generals brutally hacking at each other with their most powerful skills, and the Antiquities were the foot soldiers as they threw deadly waves of essence at each other.
Existences from all races flew within the Battlefield as humans morphing into Dragons or Phoenixes could be seen, and unique figures of the Titan Race reducing in size and condescending all of their power into a small human form could also be seen here and there!
Blood that was rich with the essence of Universes filled the Arena of destroyed Galaxies and Universes as people truly watched genuine and shocking battles they had come to hear about in the Cosmic Battlefield.
They could feel their blood pumping as temporarily, they forgot all about their houses and allegiances as they simply enjoyed the scene of carnage and battle while feeling their Origins thrum in excitement!
The spark of war had been lit as they watched the vibrant battles between dozens of Daolords and tens of thousands of Antiquities that were fighting for over a hundred Cosmos!
The first battle had ended in a shocking fashion as with a grand show of Offensive and Defensive Quasi-Cosmic Treasures paired with their own power, the Daolords from the House of Havenbreaker had taken a win as the second battle against these two sides was currently occurring.
"Will the House of Havenbreaker really win both battles and occupy an additional 100 Cosmos?!"
A Daolord from the House of Stormdust spoke with happiness and ridicule as the scene played before everyone's eyes, this shocking battle drawing a wide array of audiences as many noticed even the distinguished figure of Daolord Osmont sitting in the edges of the Cosmic Battlefield serenely.
They saw this being leak out an air of majesty as his legs were crossed, the chair he sat on being the same size as all others but when he sat...he made it seem like a throne!
From what they could see, he had a plain black book within his hands that he occasionally glanced to- whatever he was reading seeming more vibrant to him than even the battle playing out before everyone's eyes!
