Chapter 1346 - Innumerable Paths, I Choose A Single One! II
The second portion of the ridiculous aspects of a Primordial continues to bloom on golden text boxes as this time, it showed the many Daos, Edicts, and possibilities of intervening in time with Author's Jurisdiction.

A Status sheet exceeding everything Noah had seen before appeared before his eyes as it was filled with multiple completed GREATER Nomological Edicts and many MINOR ones!
The most pressing thing was the fact that this existence before Noah's eyes had already exceeded the Cosmic Realm and entered the Cosmic Filament Realm, such a thing throwing many possible plans from Noah out of the window as he also thought about Hyperion's plans.
This being was working with a terrifying force of more than likely evolved Primordial Beasts similar to it or something else entirely as the final plan of these beings was not Aegon…but this Primordial Cecilia Volantis!
It made one theorize many things on how exactly they planned to spill the True Blood of this Primordial…
But going even further, Noah's eyes honed in on the listed GREATER Nomological Edict of Primordial. He wondered how far different this was to the Cosmic Primordial Dao…and whether it was a direct relation to Primordials as their first Edict was this!
Then, there was the set of words that could not be seen even with Author's Jurisdiction. Words that dealt with the usage of the Flames of Edicts being put together to form something glorious. Something so fantastical that Primordials used it as a form of Jurisdiction to passively obtain the Essence of Reality from Realities that they managed!
This…was how they continued to obtain dense reserves of the Essence of Reality that they utilized to bend Realities to their will and forge Systems on the Champions they chose.
And something unique that many did not know was that Primordials were limited in what they could do within a Reality, where even though at this moment that Cecilia knew of the existence of the Ender of Reality, she could only make sure that she had raised a strong enough Champion to withstand it! Only in certain circumstances could she make a move…and Noah had to find out what these circumstances were.
Noah's eyes gazed at the status sheet with an illuminating gaze as with the golden pen to make possible changes in his hands, he saw just the thought of wanting to alter the reality of this existence was continuing to cause his Destiny and Fortune to leak out constantly as even though he wanted until he had full reserves, they were nearly depleted just seconds into Author's Jurisdiction.
"Cancel."
WAA!
His command echoed out as the status sheet he had memorized faded! In the Novus Universe, one of his bodies stared at the Primordial Cecilia right in her veiled face as she had no idea she had her details peered through by the being the was floating in front of.
Towards her assertion that he would have made a great Champion had one not already been active, he should his head while speaking deprecatingly.
"Someone like me isn't cut out to be a Champion. So I will let this glory fall upon others' shoulders!"
WAA!
His eyes spoke the truth as Cecilia's veiled head looked at him closely before nodding, her voice continuing to echo out.
"Protect your cluster of Cosmos for now and wait for the Champion to clear the folds of Primordial Beasts. I would tell you to lend him a hand…but the strength I've given him should be more than enough for anything he comes to face. Ah, alright…that's more than enough…"
Her voice towards the end seemed to have spent as much of its focus and energy on Noah as it could tolerate, the figure of this Primordial gazing at the surrounding Cosmos Noah had brought together as with a nod, she began to be wrapped around harmoniously by Primordial essence and the essence of Ruination.
She had spoken to this lower existence that wasn't even a Champion for far too long, his destiny being elevated as high as an unborn champion but being unlucky enough not to be one!
There were some existences like him across the myriad of Realities.
They were special, but at the end of the day- they would not surpass the Champions of their Reality as they wouldn't amount to much, simply forever bound to their Reality for millions of years until their soul wastes away and they undergo True Annihilation!
'To never be able to gaze upon the lands that Primordials and Elder Primordials step on…what poor souls these existences are!'
With a paying gaze, she began to disappear as she left behind one last message with an impassive voice.
"Strive to defend your home. It is the only important thing you will have in all your life."
WAP!
With such words, she disappeared!
Noah's eyes flashed sharply as he nearly sneered, wanting to voice out that this home of his- this Reality of his was not the most important thing that he would have in all his life!
Even as she gave advice and talked to him, he couldn't help but sense the arrogance and pride in the gaze of this being as she truly expected him to be locked in into this Reality and forever remain under the shadow of the being she made Champion.
If Noah wanted to, he could have taken the route of subduing Aegon and then coming under her heel to obtain a System, and he could have even jumped up and down when he met her today to align himself with her! There were many paths and possibilities that he could take but…
"I will only choose one!"
RUMBLE!
His body began to release waves of power as his eyes became domineering and dripped with majesty!
He would choose a single path of the countless ones waiting for him, a path that he walked towards the path of strength with his own forged power and might.
Might great enough to not only subdue his enemies, but to also help his family- whether the current one he was building or the past one he would not let go.
Might that when he gazed towards a Primordial…he would not have to put on an act nor take their prideful and pitying gazes towards him as an existence Lesser than them!
And it was possible for him to achieve this!
He had just forged a GREATER Edict in less than a minute as this was only the first, and the Systems that Primordials were so proud of- he would simply make his own.
For this, he gazed towards the directing of the vast Primordial Sea as Noah knew it was soon time for him to have another dance with an Ender of Reality.
For him to utilize the blueprint of the Primordial Epitaph that Eckert gave him as he forged a System of his own, with the only resource being the abstruse Essence of Reality!
"Speaking of…"
He gazed towards the direction where the Cosmic Holy Land and Library were hidden from the prying gaze of the Primordial- the Cosmic Filament Core that only the master of the Infinite Empire could freely move around in or even find as his eyes sparked with flames for something else he had to do.
"Let's get to Devouring Universes and obtaining more of the Essence of Reality, hmm?"
Just as the aura and might of a Primordial faded from the Infinite Empire, Noah was ready to watch the Universal Singularity as he planned to devour its product to obtain his own Essence of Reality- however small it would be!
