The massive golden boundary of light separated the exterior reality from the interior immensity of the Vasiliou Elsemountain.
"Each of you must cross with your own power," Rosalia declared, her voice slicing through the heavy air as dense golden light spilled from the peaks above.
"Your own Provenance must prove your weight."
Thalia’s Vasiliou Bloodline boiled as she seemed about to erupt, her pristine features tightening in sheer defiance!
Noah observed the spike in her biological and conceptual aggression. He made no objection to her anger, merely raising his hand to gently squeeze hers.
"Go ahead," Noah said.
Thalia looked at him before she stepped forward as the golden boundary actively resisted! It was an arduous, crushing weight as vibrant waves of her own golden Provenance flared brilliantly to push back against the rigid laws of the Elsemountain.
She tore through the light, stepping onto the grass on the other side as she breathed hard, her chest heaving as she glared back at her mother.
In the next nanosecond, Rosalia stepped through without a fraction of a delay or effort as the barrier simply parted for her.
Noah looked at the older woman. His Protagonist’s Omniscient Regard returned only a wall of question marks. He knew he could exert THE PRECEPT OF THE WAKING DREAM to pull her information from the continuum, but it would require a temporary drain of his Essence. He evaluated the exchange rate and determined the knowledge was currently unnecessary.
He stepped forward.
He did not brace for impact or flare an aura. He simply closed his glowing blue eyes and exerted THE Provenance of THE Human Dreamer upon the localized weavings of the boundary.
He dictated that the golden barrier was not a rigid law of reality. He dictated that it was merely a dream, and he was the dreamer walking through it!
WAA!
|THE PRECEPT OF THE WAKING DREAM is active.|
|2 Provenance Essence is held in reserve to overwrite the reality of the Vasiliou Boundary.|
|You are passing through the simulation.|
Noah walked through the empty air as if the golden light did not even exist! He stepped onto the pristine grass beside Thalia, and he ceased the exertion.
|The alteration of reality is released.|
|2 Provenance Essence is returned from reserve and ready for usage again.|
...!
The silent shock on Rosalia’s face was absolute as she stared at THE True Human Emperor!
Noah looked toward her and nodded.
"I thank mother-in-law for the test of my worth on this mountain," Noah stated, his tone polite but echoing with a mocking, absolute-zero certainty.
"I hope you do not take this as a challenge and are more reasonable towards the lifeform your daughter chose. Because just maybe, her words of me being better than an Immense One, for her at least... they may hold some truth."
...!
Thalia inhaled sharply in shock as Noah boldly wrapped his stellar blue-gold arm around her waist, anchoring the vastness of the moment to the small, true warmth of her body.
He began walking forward, leaving Rosalia behind as the older woman’s eyes shone brilliantly! She looked at his back, and Noah could see her mind genuinely reevaluating the terrifying anomaly walking beside her daughter!
"You... you didn’t already unlock the identity of your Provenance, right? That would also be happening much earlier!"


"Father, Mother, Elders," Thalia declared, her words rolling with supreme confidence. "I greet you on this grand day because I have found my other half. I also greet you to bring the news that my Provenance has shown me glimpses of the future. The future that Those Who Remain never like others glimpsing, as they curse many who even have the capability."
