Infinite Mana In The Apocalypse novel Chapter 4871

Chapter 4871: The Evolutionary Dead End

THE Primordial Paradox had said there were boundless resources and treasures here, materials of incalculable value that could accelerate progression in ways that normal cultivation could never achieve.

Spark Fragments containing echoes of THE First Cause.

Contradiction Cores embodying paradoxes from before Paradox itself differentiated.

Pure Possibility granting access to Chaos in its most fundamental state.

All of these things existed somewhere in THE Prima Indifferentia, waiting to be claimed by those with the strength and fortune to find them.

"Oh, THE Primordial Paradox..."

In that invisible state of concealment within the proto-matter, Noah remembered the ancient Absolute and thought about where he might be right now. He had been separated from THE Primordial Paradox when the storms of proto-matter had reacted to his presence and swept him away, and he had no idea how much time had passed since then or how far he had traveled.

He didn’t have to worry about the safety of such a terrifying being as much as he had to worry about his own, given that THE Primordial Paradox was one of THE Four and had survived in THE Prima Indifferentia before. But Noah also couldn’t say for sure that he had lost the trail of that terrifying Undivided One, Bazuman, whose million crimson eyes had shown such interest in prey that could fight back.

For now, until he was potentially forced to end this temporal traversal early by having his body collapsed, he had to see what other opportunities were available in this region. Every moment he spent here was a moment of growth, but every moment was also a moment of danger.

And for him right now, it was actually easier to navigate the idea of looking for treasures and resources than it would have been for anyone else in Observable Existence.

Because at this moment, he held Infinite Undifferentiated Fate.

In this unique state of existence where his connection to destiny had become paradoxical and boundless, he pulled upon that Derivative Civilization with focused intent. A silent golden light emerged from his concealed form and spread out across the waves and seas of proto-matter like ripples in a pond, except these ripples carried the weight of fate itself seeking answers to questions he had yet to ask.

|Derivative Civilization of Infinite Undifferentiated Fate - Active Manifestation|

|The Derivative Civilization of Infinite Undifferentiated Fate exerts its Way across the surrounding existence. What is fated and destined are now infinitely amplified and capable of being chosen by the one wielding this Way, turning destiny from something that happens to you into something you actively shape and direct.|

|Your connection to fate has begun permeating across the surrounding regions of THE Prima Indifferentia. Destiny is not something that others make for you here, as you are infinitely making your own choices that inform different fates and different outcomes. The possibilities are endless, and you are selecting which possibilities become reality.|

|The fates of resources and treasures are being sought through this manifestation. Your existence has found potential links to three different directions from your current position, with each direction highlighted according to the proposed level of danger that accompanies the potential reward.|

|Direction One: Crimson designation indicating extreme danger. Potential reward: significant but path is guarded by forces that exceed current combat capability.|

|Direction Two: Crimson designation indicating extreme danger. Potential reward: significant but path is guarded by forces that exceed current combat capability.|

|Direction Three: Orange designation indicating high danger but potentially manageable. Potential reward: moderate to significant, with path containing hazards that fall within survivable parameters if approached with caution.|

...!

Noah saw faint lines of golden light stretching out in three separate directions from where he currently was, the threads of fate made visible through his Derivative Civilization’s influence on the surrounding proto-matter.

Two of them were surrounded with a deep hue of crimson light that pulsed with warning, the color of blood and danger and almost certain death.

Only a single one shone bright orange.

The two shining with crimson light emanated a great level of danger for him, the kind of danger that even his newly infinite existence might not be able to survive. Perhaps Undivided Ones guarded those paths. Perhaps Formless Terrors lurked along their routes.

The one pulsing with orange light seemed to be potentially manageable but still very dangerous, the kind of danger that would test him without necessarily destroying him. The kind of hardship that Vakochev demanded for progression rather than the kind that simply ended existence.

But...

Everything in Existence was dangerous.

Hardship and adversity were a must for growth, weren’t they?

THE Primordial Paradox had said it himself when discussing the Vakochev Scales: if one’s foundation hadn’t weathered through waves of Immensity and hardship, if one’s Way hadn’t been established through genuine adversity, then the doorway to the second Scale would remain uncrossable regardless of how powerful one became.

So while feeling the immense growth and Immensity of his existence expanding with every passing moment, and seeking to grow it even more while he had the opportunity in this place, Noah began to move once more.

He took a step toward the orange-designated path.

And even though he did so, what actually moved was a swirling storm of proto-matter that concealed his existence within its undefined currents. The storm shot forward at speeds that made the proto-matter around it blur and distort, covering distances that should have taken considerable time in mere moments.

His speed was approaching the speed of his very good boy, Skoll.

"It is not malice. It is something more fundamental than malice. It is the natural behaviour of undifferentiated existence encountering differentiated existence."

The Vakochev Scales of Existence demanded hardship for progression.
