Chapter 39: Chapter 39: The Ten Quadrillion Seals

After having his heartfelt laugh, Aeon fully locked down his focus. "As for the E-rank of the Arcane Path, I will have to create my second planetary ring. I have already spent the past ten years studying countless advanced magical theories and complex spell matrices. You could say my understanding of magic theory is far beyond any being in this world."

He stopped for a brief moment, letting the heavy reality of his words settle.

"And as for opening my Gate of Consciousness or Channel of Consciousness, they are already completely open since I am actively cultivating the Spiritual Path."

When it came to navigating the E-rank of the Spiritual Path, Aeon spent some of his past ten years locating his apertures.

Utilizing one of his special talents, the [Infinite Eyes of Omniscience], he gained the absolute clarity needed to see through the mental veil, tracking the 700 apertures resting inside his Sea of Consciousness.

But he had severely underestimated the raw, unprecedented capability of his eyes. He didn’t just witness a standard cluster of 700 glowing dots scattered across the sky of his Sea of Consciousness like distant stars.

He saw far beyond that arbitrary limit, discovering an imaginable network hidden much deeper within his sea of consciousness.

Thousands, millions, billions—the numbers scaled exponentially until he accurately calculated the existence of almost 10 quadrillion microscopic, pitch-black stars.

Aeon was momentarily taken completely aback by the staggering information. He had never encountered a single shred of information detailing a soul possessing more than 701 apertures within any of the ancient scripts inside the Archive, or any other cosmic record on Nexos Earth.

Even his level-one system was completely unable to identify the source of the anomaly at the moment, simply firing a generic automated response stating that the system developmental level was too low to give a satisfactory answer.

However, when he questioned the system regarding the safety of opening them, the response confirmed that he could proceed with the integration, provided he maintained absolute care and extreme tenderness.

Aeon wasted zero time and immediately threw himself into direct action. He activated his special talent, the [Infinite Eyes of Omniscience], specifically its first active/Passive ability: [Omniscient Sight].

This supreme ocular ability allowed him to effortlessly see through absolutely anything in existence—rendering lies, high-tier illusions, concealed formations, and hidden cosmic concepts entirely transparent to his vision.

The moment the got activated, Aeon’s cosmic eyes gained a magnificent layer of intricate golden geometric patterns, indicating the successful activation of his Special Talent.

Closing his eyelids, he redirected his perception entirely inward, bypassing his muscles, organs, and skeletal systems, penetrating deep into the microscopic cellular architecture of his body.

There, he successfully located his cells. Every single cell resembled a tiny, perfectly formed sphere of translucent flesh, its surface intricately threaded with countless luminous strands of Primordial energies.

What amazed him the most was the sheer, reality-breaking quantity. He possessed exactly 10 quadrillion individual cells.

"Hmm. I will have to study the biological composition of the other races later to see if their exact cell counts can even compare to this progenitor dragon anatomy," Aeon murmured.

Directly at the absolute center of every single cell sat a tiny, compressed black dot. Aeon instantly identified these dots as the hidden gates he was looking for.

Without waiting a single second more, he got into action.

He actively drew a massive current of primordial energy into his pathways. With an intense exertion of his will, he projected a manifestation of his soul, injecting his awareness straight into the microscopic space where his cells resided.

Seeing the black dots mapping across every sphere, he chose a single target and dove cleanly straight into the cell’s internal space.

The moment his conscious form crossed the cellular boundary, he found himself standing within an entirely separate, isolated dimension.

The internal space was pitch-black, and the only illumination came from a thin line of light slicing through the center of a colossal, heavily reinforced door.

Aeon instantly recognized this towering structure as the seal gate that needed to be unsealed to grant him access to his latent Aura.

He marched purposefully toward the door, planting both of his hands firmly against the surface, and shoved with all his might. The colossal barrier didn’t budge a single millimeter.

"Huh? I guess the sealed gates requires a significantly higher threshold of energy," Aeon noted, taken aback for a moment before resolving to draw a vastly larger reservoir of energy into the cell.

With a sharp mental command, Aeon activated his active physique ability, [Infinite Void Glutton], while simultaneously drawing raw power directly from the rich atmosphere of his domain.

Massive shadow maws materialized inside his pathways, devouring the ambient primordial affinities and funneling an enormous current of power straight into his body, heavily reinforcing his conscious form inside the cell.

Feeling the enormous energy surging through his limbs, Aeon planted his boots against the floor and slammed his weight back into the door.

Ruuuummble!

Seeing the massive structure finally move, Aeon didn’t halt his momentum, continuously driving his power forward. The thin line of light slicing through the center of the door widened rapidly, illuminating the dark space.

For two continuous minutes of internal time, Aeon had to relentlessly push against the weight of the enormous door.

The moment he successfully forced the gate completely open, an immense torrent of pure white light erupted from the threshold, and Aeon immediately felt an entirely new energy flooding his body.

He knew instantly that this newly unsealed force was his Aura. But what shocked his mind for a moment was the sheer, unprecedented volume of the energy.

Predicting its quantity from this single cell alone, he estimated that the unleashed life force was as vast as a streaming river.

"This is likely the direct play of how incredibly strong, dense, and versatile my body is," Aeon analyzed, before rapidly refocusing his awareness onto the surrounding cells.

Once the unsealing sequence finalized, the massive door dissolved entirely from his view. The physical gate didn’t actually exist as a permanent material structure inside the cell.

Rather, it was merely the visual manifestation of the cosmic seal protecting the cell’s latent Aura.

Aeon smoothly exited the internal space of that opened cell. The moment his awareness returned to the outer cellular field, he noticed that the cell was now radiating a brilliant, unyielding white light, and the central compressed black dot had vanished completely.

Realizing that opening 10 quadrillion cells one by one would take an eternity even within his time-dilated domain, Aeon decided to completely adjust his opening process.

He would open hundreds of thousands of cells simultaneously, while meticulously monitoring the energy thresholds to ensure the combined recoil wouldn’t overwhelm or crack his physical body.

With a sharp mental command, he released a localized spectrums of light straight from his soul, precisely partitioning his awareness into 99,999 distinct threads.

These strands represented his absolute will, as he has the capacity to control their individual movements at any given microsecond.

The soul threads fused seamlessly with the incoming primordial energies, taking the exact physical form of Aeon inside the cellular field.

It functioned exactly like an advanced clone technique.

Without waiting a single second more, all 100,000 clones of Aeon went to work simultaneously, each taking an individual cell to forcefully push open the gate.

To maintain the rapid multi-threaded breakthrough, Aeon had to constantly absorb massive waves of primordial energy at a blistering pace, while completely utilizing his mind to flawlessly control the 100,000 active wills.
