The golden sands of the Blooming Shore stretched beneath Noah’s bare feet like crushed starlight given form, each grain pulsing with the accumulated authority of his recent advancement.
The sensation was intoxicating in its completeness...warm without heat, substantial without weight, alive with possibilities that seemed to whisper directly into his consciousness with every step he took across this transformed place!
He stood at the heart of his expanded domain, his upper body bare to the crystalline winds that swept across territories that had grown beyond all previous limitations.
Occasionally, as he walked through this paradise of his own design, new prompts would materialize before him.
|The Maximum Population of the Early Veiled Shore has been increased to 100.|
There were many that continued to trickle over as the land waited for him to give his directiona!
Yet among all these wonders, what captured his attention most profoundly were the connections that now existed to Records of other Early Veiled Shores...pathways that stretched across impossible distances!
Records.
Records meant that the Shores themselves no longer existed in their original form.
They had become echoes, memories given structure and substance but no longer truly alive with the presence of those who had created them.
"..."
Noah’s mind turned inevitably to the continuation of the Stories of the Earliest Folds that Sigrid had shared with him.
He understood now why Living Existences looked upon such beings with reverence that bordered on subservience and fear!
He thought of the chaos and wonder that Early Creatures had brought to existence itself.
And he thought of THE Living Law, driven by necessity to seek something in the chaotic birthplace of Inevitabilities...something that she had utilized to restore a semblance of balance to Existence itself.
Some called it a weapon in their retelling of the Story. Others whispered of it as a poison specifically crafted to bring low beings whose power exceeded all normal categories of measurement.
But whatever its true nature, THE Living Law had wielded it to bring about Order where chaos had threatened to consume everything.
Yet Early Creatures had not been destroyed at that time. The Stories made that much clear!
So what had happened to them? Who possessed sufficient power to erase entities whose capabilities transcended every normal limitation?
The questions burned in his consciousness, demanding answers that remained frustratingly beyond his reach.
As these thoughts churned through his mind, Noah felt the pulse of his own existence.
His progression continued to unfold according to principles that defied every normal expectation, unperceivable and quintessential in nature!
Right now, his Complexity and Purity Quotients had spilled past the sixty million marker. But when he considered his Refined and Basic Early Living Existential Glyphs alongside these raw measurements, when he calculated the true scope of his collective capabilities...
His actual power had already spilled past one hundred million.
The boundary between Fold Dwellers and Living Existences- that fundamental threshold that defined the very nature of hierarchy...had been crossed silently, without fanfare or ceremony.
When it came to his CQ and PQ, he was waiting to hit 75 Million before forming his first Eminent Early Living Existential Glyph!
But even though he had yet to reach that number, his actual power already spilled past Originus Venerant.
