The implications were significant!
Through observation and proximity to her transformation, his own understanding had deepened to the point where he could achieve similar feats with greater efficiency. It was yet another demonstration of how the Early Veiled Shore facilitated advancement through shared experience and collective growth.
Another prompt appeared with information that made him turn to survey his domain.
|Seven additional Sacred Totems have been enacted in the Early Veiled Shore, manifesting the completed Second Stage Towers of Osmont.|
Noah’s gaze swept across the landscape as he observed the newly manifested structures scattered throughout different areas of the Shore.
Each Sacred Totem bore similar fundamental architecture to the original Totem of Infinity, yet each possessed its own unique characteristics that spoke to the distinct nature of the Tower it represented.
Different colors dominated their crystalline surfaces, while ancient-looking bells crowned their peaks with designs filled with quintessential glory.
The sight was magnificent, speaking to accumulated power that had been refined into permanent monuments to his advancement.
Yet even as he admired their beauty, another prompt appeared that tempered his satisfaction with practical limitations!
|Until the Early Veiled Shore advances from its current Budding status, it cannot support another Early Living Land Lifeform as the ringing of any bells will not call forth anything. The Early Living Land Lifeform, Heidrun, has occupied an immense breadth of existence provided by the Shore for Land Lifeforms. Additional capacity requires fundamental expansion of the Shore itself.|
...!
Oh...
The Sacred Totems were built and ready to serve their purpose, yet he could not ring their bells to call forth terrifying creatures like Heidrun until the Shore itself evolved to accommodate such expansion!
He shook his head at this limitation with rueful amusement, recognizing that even in a realm of impossible wonders, certain boundaries still applied.
As Noah’s gaze moved across the Sacred Totems, it naturally fell upon other figures who populated his domain, each representing their own remarkable journey of advancement and transformation.
Ruination and the Infiniverse no longer competed to exceed one another in complexity, their rivalry having evolved into something more cooperative as they focused on becoming more complex both for themselves and for him.
Ruination had made tremendous advances despite her relatively modest baseline complexity and purity, which remained less than one million.
Less than 1 Million!
Yet...she shockingly held eleven Basic Early Living Existential Glyphs of Ruination alongside two Refined Early Living Existential Glyphs of Ruination!
The combination equated to more than thirty million in effective Complexity, creating a situation where even if a being appeared before her with thirty million actual complexity and purity, with only a single Refined Glyph...she would be able to defeat them with casual ease!
The Infiniverse presented an entirely different case study in advancement.
She had not generated massive waves of power or undergone dramatic eruptions of authority, yet among all those present, with the sole exception of Moiraine, she was the one who had advanced the most.
Her progress was monstrous in its scope, achieved through methods that were...a bit off compared to others!
She possessed Refined Early Living Existential Glyphs of Manadynamics, Infinity, Continuity, Dreams, and Entropy alongside five Basic Glyphs, with nine million in raw complexity and purity to spare.
Her total accumulated power had already exceeded sixty million!
Yet she had not generated terrifying waves or grandiose eruptions because she possessed something that very few could even fathom.
At this moment, the Early Veiled Shore was entrenched at her core, positioned at the center of the Infiniverse Wheel itself. Its advancement and the continuing wonders that bloomed within its boundaries would affect her in ways that even Noah did not fully comprehend at this moment.
