Chapter 721: Runes of Truth
As Ezequiel’s third avatar understood the mysteries and concepts of the Essence-Nether Universe, the avatars in the first and second platforms also improved.
Six years after Ezequiel created the third avatar, his completion percentage in the first, second, and third platforms became 90%, 70%, and 50%, respectively.
Unfortunately, Ezequiel once again faced a bottleneck. Just by understanding the changes and nature of the Essence Chaos, it was impossible to fully comprehend the principles of the universes inside the first three platforms.
A fourth avatar came to be, and this one flew to the fourth platform. As expected, there was also a universe in it, one made purely of an extremely heavy and dense force, Astral Chaos.
Ezequiel’s understanding of Astral Chaos was already very high due to the Astral Chaos Omega Law. He only used two years to comprehend the Astral Universe to 50% and reach a bottleneck.
However, as Ezequiel did that, he discovered his understanding of the Essence-Astral Universe inside the second platform advanced a little, which also helped the avatar in the first platform.
The Lord of Emptiness made all the universes inside the Altar of Emptiness connected. Understanding one in a higher platform would generate positive feedback to the lower ones.
Ezequiel created a new avatar that headed into the fifth platform, where he found a universe with Astral Chaos giving birth to energy.
In the fifth platform, there was a universe where Astral Chaos mutated in order to fulfill the purpose of Essence Chaos. As one could expect, understanding this Astral-Essence Universe generated great feedback for the avatars on the second and first platforms, which in turn helped the one on the third platform.
Eight years later, a new avatar emerged once Ezequiel had improved his comprehension of the different universes as far as he could.
Once the new avatar reached the sixth platform, he saw something defying logic. Powerhouses in the Prima Universe accepted as an unshakable truth that body and soul were contrasting concepts.
While they were intrinsically bound, flesh and blood could not give birth to soul force and vice-versa. That is why it was so incredible to see Astral Chaos, the precursor of all physical matter, create sentience and spirit.
The complexity of the sixth platform surpassed the previous ones, so Ezequiel spent around twenty years in it before reaching the bottleneck. Feedback made it so that all the avatars in lower platforms also improved their comprehension.
When the seventh avatar reached the seventh platform, Ezequiel saw a universe made purely out of Nether Chaos.
The soul is the most complex of the three centers of power, so the Nether Universe was more complicated than the Astral Universe and the Essence Universe.
Every bit of understanding that Ezequiel obtained from the Nether Universe greatly benefited the avatars in the sixth and third platforms.
It was not until fifteen years later that Ezequiel reached a 50% completion over the Nether Universe and sent a new avatar to the eighth platform.
As one would expect, the universe in the eighth platform was one where Nether Chaos mutated and adapted to give birth to energy. This process taught Ezequiel a lot about the nature of the soul, especially how one could find it before the rise into the Soul Realm.
In Rank 4, the soul of most individuals would manifest as a blue miniature of themselves, but before that, it was harder to perceive, and the reason was that it found itself in the form of a force field.
The eyes of all Ezequiel’s avatars showed a sense of epiphany as they understood the nature of the eighth platform’s universe. If you fully comprehend its principles, there was a chance to revert your soul to the state it found itself before reaching the Soul Realm.
A pensive expression appeared in the avatars as they realized what this Altar of Emptiness was teaching them.
Ezequiel created a new avatar and sent it to the ninth platform after reaching a bottleneck in the Nether-Essence Universe.
The ninth platform contained a universe where Nether Chaos, the force meant to create souls and spirits, mutated and gave birth to flesh and blood.
Once there was an avatar on all the platforms, they formed feedback that connected the first and ninth, making all of them enter a state of enlightenment.
The one affected the most was the avatar on the first platform, as he felt his understanding of the Essence Universe advancing non-stop.
Forty hours later, the avatar in the first platform began to tremble as his understanding of the principles that reigned the Essence Universe reached 100%!
At that moment, runes began to appear on Ezequiel’s forehead. They formed a small line with less than ten characters, but that did not mean it was weak since its power surpassed any form of law.
The reason is that the power that made those runes was a Truth!
Less than ten hours later, the avatar on the fourth platform also trembled as he reached a 100% understanding of the Astral Universe.
A new line of runes containing the power of a Truth emerged in Ezequiel’s forehead, crossing the ones made after comprehending the Essence Universe.
It was not long before Ezequiel fully comprehended the Nether Universe’s principles, making the third line of runes emerge on his forehead.
Once Ezequiel fully comprehended the Essence Universe, Astral Universe, and Nether Universe, all the others became simpler.
Runes with the power of a Truth began to emerge in Ezequiel’s left and right collarbone as he fully understood the Essence-Nether Universe and Essence-Astral Universe.
The Astral-Essence Universe and Astral-Nether Universe generated runes with the power of a Truth that covered the entire Supreme Neo-Demon’s spine.
As for the runes that appeared after deciphering the principles of the Nether-Essence Universe and Nether-Astral Universe, they covered his sternum.
Once all the runes fully materialized, the avatar on the first platform waved his hand, and all others fused back into his body.
Now that all the runes were in a single body, they began to glow with incredible power and fuse into one.
