His mind buzzed with wonder and possibilities as a unique methodology appeared!
The Inscription of Early Living Runes that actually took one’s immense complexity and Purity into Early Living Existential Glyph that they branded into their bodies!
It was terrifying to inagine as normal entities that attained Originus Venerant would have to simply continue building their Tower of Origin, making it more complex while budding branching towers alongside it...until the stage of Originus Venerant was completed.
But the Early Creatures did something else entirely!
Noah stared at the shimmering text, his fingers curling slightly.
Power that flows with motion. Power without cost.
No circuits. No channels. No activation required.
Just... being.
He had infinite mana as the cost of energy was never an issue, but this...this was something else!
And if he had the capability...
If his current Lattices and Resistances, if the depth of his Origins allowed it...
Was he not capable of inscribing multiple Existential Glyphs from multiple True Sources on his body?
BZZT!
The thought alone was terrifying.
His gaze slowly lifted, drifting over the calm sea, the fog-draped trees, the golden leaves, and the ever-present mist.
A place that could birth such possibilities...
What would happen if it were brought to maturity?
If the Budding Shore became... a complete Veiled Shore?
Noah didn’t know yet.
But he would find out.
With Ruination.
With the Infiniverse.
And with the terrifying weavings now blooming beneath his skin!
The path forward was clear.
He just had to step into it.
As Noah stood with his palm pressed lightly against the trunk of the Heartwood Suntree, his mind drifted freely toward the deeper knowledge the Early Veiled Shore had revealed.
The concept of Early Living Existential Glyphs seemed fundamental.
And with his current level of complexity and purity, he could form two.!
He knew it.
His instincts whispered it with confidence as his gaze flickered over his own body, his weavings alive with the glow of millions of Lattices and dozens of completed Towers of Origin. He was poised to compress the first Rune, a task that would take 1,000,000 CQ and PQ into a single mark of power. Permanent. Glorious. It was unlike anything he’d ever done before!
But as he proceeded to sit upon the earth, legs crossed and energy quietly gathering, a flickering shimmer interrupted his thoughts.
|The Early Veiled Shore has welcomed another entrant.|
|An Early Living Marine Lifeform has appeared within the Early Sacred Waters.|
|Population of the Early Veiled Shore: 4 / 25.|
HUUM!
He opened his eyes slowly.
Surprise rippled through him as it was not necessarily at the Marine Lifeform’s appearance, but at the revelation that the population of this consecrated domain could rise independently of his will!
Not everything here was under his control.
His jaw set in quiet thought as he stood, dusting off the faint glimmer of sunlight that clung to his robes. His feet carried him across the verdant grass and toward the shore, each step slow and deliberate as Ruination and the Infiniverse Body followed behind.
The Sacred Waters glistened like polished glass, light spilling over its surface in golden ribbons.
And there, he saw it.
Swimming just beneath the surface, its long, sweeping fins dragging luminescent trails behind it like brushstrokes on existence...it was beautiful.
A goldfish.
Massive and elegant. Its body gleamed with golden and cerulean scales, each one alive with movement. It hovered in the water with regal confidence, like it belonged here more than anything else.
Its expression was one of returning to a place that felt light as it breathed the Early Sacred Water freely!
As his gaze fell on it, new prompts bloomed.
|Name: Auriamundus, the Crownscale Glimmer.|
|Type: Early Living Marine Lifeform.|
|Authority Type: Living Water.|
|Early Living Existential Glyph: Water (1 Compressed Rune).|
|Tower of Origin: Living Water Tower of Origin.|
...!
Noah blinked.
The creature, Auriamundus, had condensed a Glyph!
A Goldfish!
WU! WU! WU!
