Endless Horde: Through the Eyes of a Godking

—

In the end, the council decided to not touch the remaining two chaos realms for the time being.

It’s not that they don’t want to or they can’t; it’s because doing so this early seems a little hasty.

The development of the Crimson Womb Chaos Realm and the Black Pegasus Chaos Realm was still largely underway. Humans weren’t even remotely close to populating all the necessary areas.

Turning their attention beyond seems foolish. What they should be paying attention to right now is stabilizing their new territories, not another conquest mission.

So, for the foreseeable future, they won’t touch or make a move on foreign chaos realms. At least, not until things stabilized for all three chaos realms under humanity’s reign.

There’s no shame in this. It’s not like humans were losing out by prioritizing development over conquest. It’s not like the foreign chaos realms would run away or disappear from the face of the primitive universe, so there’s no need to rush.

With things being decided like this, everything went on as usual. Humanity spends most of their energy focusing on developing their new territories and greatly expanding their population.

Just like this, time flowed on…

Roughly 3000 years later, a momentous event started taking place somewhere most people don’t know about…

Within the Lost Void, more specifically, and the unique space where the Origin Heaven Castle was located, Cedric’s clone could be found sitting still like a monk.

There were occasional flashes of light around him. Some were bright, some were dim. Some fused with others, giving birth to new colors; others clashed and turned into sparks that fizzled out shortly after.

In truth, this happened not because the clone intentionally allowed it so. The clone was completely immersed into the sea of origin laws; it does not have the capacity to produce colorful lights nor manipulate them in such a way that creates a spectacle like this.

This light spectacle happened solely because of how deeply the clone harmonized with nature.

All of this was merely a sign of how attuned he was with concept laws. They bowed, paid respects, worshipped, and danced in celebration around him, seemingly adoring him as a higher being that had completely acknowledged their existence and knew them better than most.

That last statement wasn’t really false. Cedric does, indeed, know concept laws better than most.

Hell, he already took all 99 of them to the Origin Law level!

Yes. After 3000 years since the third phase of the colonization efforts began and the human sovereigns ascended to the peak of existence, Cedric has already comprehended all 99 Origin Laws he needed, paving the way to decipher the Primal Chaos Law itself.

Actually, as he was right now, he was really no different from the Supreme Will itself or the Origin Source Law already. He’s already more than qualified to replace either entity, existing way beyond what everybody knows.

But will Cedric be satisfied with just that? The obvious answer is, of course, not!

All his work, comprehending all 99 Origin Laws, he didn’t do simply for the achievement itself. His aim has always been to comprehend the Primal Chaos Law itself, the true peak of existence, the real source and origin of everything.

Cedric didn’t seal his own cultivation level and held off from ascending just to choose the path of mediocrity. He did it to see the real peak.

And now, he’s making his way there.

The Primal Chaos Law didn’t make it difficult for him.

Remember how he discovered that every Origin Law was connected somehow? Even including elements that are supposed to clash or couldn’t stand each other? That wasn’t some random truth he stumbled upon; it’s a large hint.

Discovering it on his own was the key, and it didn’t just allow him to comprehend origin laws faster than everybody else. The more origin laws he comprehended, the more of this sign he saw. The connections weren’t just some lines that connected or revealed the relationship of each origin law; these lines were the Law Diagram of the Primordial Chaos Law itself.

Cedric discovered this after he comprehended his 75th Origin Law.

He took a look at everything from afar, as a whole, and it revealed itself to him. After seeing this, Cedric was sure that so long as he comprehended all of the origin laws needed, the real appearance of the diagram would also reveal itself to him, including the positions where the origin laws must be placed to get the results he wanted.

It has been more than 100 years since he comprehended his 99th Origin Law, and he had been spending all that time sitting in deep meditation like this, pondering about the last step.

Just because he had seen the whole diagram already, it doesn’t mean that the next step would be really easy. Cedric had to be careful; no mistakes are allowed once he begins, or else things won’t work well.

That is why Cedric slowed himself down, even though the agitation, anticipation, excitement, and anxiousness were rising up to his chest because of how close he was already.

Phew!

The clone opened its eyes, revealing swirling rainbow radiance in its pupils, which faded shortly after. Then, he whispered:

“I’m done here. The next step would be left for the main body.”

Before the clone could even finish saying this, Cedric’s main body was already on the move.

He jumped out of Heavenly Star in one stride, going so far that he reached the Lost Void itself. He even went as far as to make sure that Lost Void itself was beneath him.

Cedric then looked up and whispered, “Alright, no turning back now.”

The last step has to be done by the main body; there’s no other way around it. So, as solemnly as he could, Cedric took a deep breath and initiated his ascension.

Boom!!

For the first time after a very long while, Cedric stopped hiding himself.

He didn’t wear a mask, he didn’t obscure his aura, he didn’t fade in the background, or he didn’t seal himself behind space where nobody could see him.

Cedric revealed it all. His overwhelming aura that could suppress all chaos realms at once, his unfathomable foundation, his qualifications, the brilliance he kept hidden after so long…all of it was released completely at this point.

The moment he did that, the entirety of the Primitive Universe seemed to lose all of its colors aside from him. Everybody, regardless of the distance, life evolution realm, and intelligence, felt him.

All of the primitive universe trembled before him. Even the Supreme Will itself was no different.

The Human Sovereigns, obviously, sensed him immediately. But due to the sheer weight of his presence, they were completely immobilized.

Those who were approaching the higher levels of life evolution felt it the most. The weight and vague understanding of Cedric’s presence. And even from afar, his aura paralyzed them completely, so much so that even thinking about any possible retaliation felt like the highest form of blasphemy to them.

Forget about their instincts; the whole primitive universe itself will stop them if they dare to approach. Hell, it might even kill them outright.

As for the weak ones, all they felt was awe for something that completely eclipses their understanding.

But while everybody was confused and basically rendered speechless about what was happening, Cedric himself was enduring a great burden.

This wasn’t just a simple breakthrough.

Cedric has to build the Primal Chaos Law Diagram in his Inner World and consciousness while also traversing his ascension to the Primal Origin Lifeform Realm.

Simply put, he has to multi-task, and he has to do very well because he can’t afford to make a single mistake here.

That said, his ascension wasn’t normal…

Unlike others, shackles didn’t manifest in his Empyrean Phantom. He didn’t have to see some illusions and clarify his conscience to break them.

The moment his phantom appeared, the shackles broke before they even formed completely. It’s like the idea of being shackled was so much of a blasphemy to someone like him that the concept itself refused to take hold of him.

The Supreme Will also didn’t send heavenly punishment to him. The Supreme Will has long lost qualifications to judge or test Cedric. And even if it could, the concept of Heavenly Punishment itself will refuse to hurt Cedric.

This, however, doesn’t mean that ascending was easy for Cedric.

At this very moment, Cedric felt as if he were carrying the entirety of the Primitive Universe on his shoulders, both its physical and spiritual weight, including the heavy responsibilities that come with his ascension itself.

Cedric gritted his teeth. Even with his compact body that’s no less than a treasure of chaos at this point and his will tempered through hardships and tests, this burden still felt like it was crushing him completely.

All of this while he’s busy trying to create the Primal Chaos Law Diagram in both his inner world and consciousness while also enduring the cleansing that his attention forced upon him.

Cedric had to endure this weight for an entire month before things started fading away.

In his inner world and consciousness, the Primordial Chaos Law Diagram shone brightly; the mere sight of it felt hefty as if it were anchoring Cedric’s will, intent, and concept of reality not only to himself but also to the world around him.

His flesh, origin energy, and soul sublimated to the absolute peak. In fact, it broke through that known ceiling, achieving heights that nobody ever thought possible, confirming that Cedric’s assumptions were correct.

He’s more than just a primal origin lifeform. He’s technically no longer human either.

Cedric Stormrider is now an entity of the Primordial Chaos—a Primordial Chaos Entity.

The moment he achieved this state was also the moment things calmed down, not because it’s over, but because that’s what Cedric wanted to happen.

He didn’t want anybody thinking that the primitive universe was ending. He just had a breakthrough; no matter how extraordinary it is, it’s just that; no need to panic.

Well, he’s basically omni-everything now.

There’s nothing, ‘NOTHING,’ in the entirety of the primitive universe that could or would want to cross him now.

Everything happening in this world happens because he’s allowing it to, no other way around it.

With a single glare from him, the shadows of the Abyssals gestating from a great distance beyond the Lost Void vanished into nothingness. They’re not necessary, so Cedric wants them gone.

With another thought from him, the entirety of the Lost Void surrendered to him. Those who need not remain were simply erased from existence before they could even feel what’s happening.

He refined the core of the Origin Heaven Castle, released the restriction that’s isolating the Lost Void, and took everything into his Inner World.

Cedric felt the Supreme Will fawning over him, acting like a child that wanted to be praised for doing a good job. He ‘metaphorically’ patted its head and told it to continue what it has been doing.

Nothing in the whole Primitive Universe could escape his senses. He doesn’t even need to look at it.

He saw the two foreign chaos realms and thought that it’d be nice to include them in humanity’s territory.

Well, he asked, so he shall receive…the primitive universe itself bowed down to his will and enacted his wishes.

All the creatures that lived in those two foreign chaos realms had been transformed into humans as well. Hell, it even went as far as twisting reality in a way that, instead of two, humans have claimed all of the five known chaos realms and have started colonizing them.

Truth itself was changed permanently, rewritten to fit Cedric’s ideals. Now, everybody knows that the colonization efforts were for four chaos realms, not two. Whether it’s passed through word of mouth or digital information, everything was rewritten to fit this narrative simply because that’s what Cedric wanted to happen.

And all of this happened in an instant. So fast that even Cedric himself was caught off guard.

Hell, even the Human Sovereigns were affected, and none of them would doubt what they know. It’s that easy for Cedric to do this.

Looking at all of this, Cedric couldn’t help but smile wryly.

“Well, I’m too strong now.”

He let out a mirthless chuckle.

But instead of prancing around and announcing his name and reality to everybody, what Cedric did instead was come home.

He just saw that his wives were preparing a scrumptious lunch, and it’s one that he wouldn’t dare to miss.

[Closing Remarks]

Aaaand, cut! That’s a wrap, everybody!!

Hi! Hateful_Fellow here!

First of all, thank you so so so much for accompanying me on this journey! Thank you for being there through the highs, lows, and the very long and boring parts of this story.

Honestly, this is a mess; I’d willingly admit that. I overestimated myself a lot by reaching too far and was easily overwhelmed by the sheer amount of bullcrap I typed and then missed.

I made a lot of mistakes here; I’m aware that this story is full of loopholes and inconsistencies.

I could go back and rewrite all of those. Fix my mistakes, and all that, but I won’t. Let it stay there as a cautionary tale for me. A shameful and permanent lesson that would leave a mark on my journey as I continue writing.

For those who made it to the end, thank you so much, and I love you for enduring all my nonsense. I am so fortunate and lucky to have you with me, and I hope to see you as I create more stories that might tickle your fancy!

Anyways, it has certainly been a long ride! Thanks again for being with me; I hope to see you on the next one! Bye~~

Hateful_Fellow: Signing out!
