Novel Full Chapter 4823: Big Stepper! II
Chapter 4823: Big Stepper! II
In Observable Existence, there is a chasm called the Divide of Becoming.
It separates what beings are from what they could be. Many stand at its edge across their entire lives, staring into the vast emptiness between their current selves and their potential. They measure the distance. They calculate the odds. They prepare endlessly for a jump they never intend to make.
And they die at the edge, having never learned what waited on the other side.
The Absolutes whisper among themselves that greatness is not earned through accumulation alone.
You can gather power for eons. You can build foundations until they stretch across Observable Existence itself. You can prepare and plan and perfect every aspect of your Way until nothing seems capable of stopping your advance.
But the final step cannot be walked.
It must be leaped.
There is a moment in every being’s journey where the ground simply ends. Where no amount of preparation can guarantee success. Where the only path forward requires releasing everything safe and familiar and trusting that what you have built will carry you across the void.
Those who hesitate at this moment, who decide they need just a little more time, just a little more power, just a little more certainty before they commit, find that the edge crumbles beneath their feet anyway.
The chasm does not wait for readiness!
Those who cannot find themselves capable of taking that single leap, who cling to safety when Existence demands courage, will always remain in the dredges of nothingness.
And it is because potential means nothing to those unwilling to risk everything for its realization.
A being who dies mid-leap has lived more truly than one who dies having never jumped at all!
—
A step!
Ul’moreth took a heavy and ridiculous step with all of his existence as the moment he did so, his foundation, his Immensity, his glory erupted!
Noah looked at the scene with heavy eyes.
What he saw was the emergence of an unfathomable Depth that blazed with authority he had not expected to witness so soon. The weight that Ul’moreth carried had been building across eons within THE Belly of Existence, accumulating foundation after foundation while being suppressed from ever reaching this final threshold.
And now, with the Absolute Everything serving as the catalyst, all of that accumulated potential was exploding outward at once.
Noah estimated that what he was witnessing equaled perhaps five to ten percent of the Depth he had currently forged after swallowing the recoverable authority of THE Weavers. It seemed small in comparison to his own foundations, but this was an Absolute being born who was not one of THE Four. This was a being crossing the threshold that separated those who shaped reality from those who merely existed within it.
Five to ten percent of his current foundational weight, concentrated into a single being who would now stand among the most powerful!
That was no small thing.
|THE First Tongue observes its follower take a step toward glory.|
|THE First Tongue, THE Weaver of Existence, blesses this follower and adds a platform of his Foundation to aid in this step toward Absolute.|
|The blessing is given freely.|
|The blessing is given with pride.|
BOOM!
Noah saw the emergence of glory!
His Weavings moved as twenty-seven Seals formed into a platform underneath the foot of Ul’moreth, elevating him ever higher as in that moment, a terrifying aura of Immensity began to shine from Ul’moreth in splendorous obsidian-gold light!
The transformation was magnificent.
Noah watched as the hairs of this being exploded in number!
Where before Ul’moreth had countless hairs that obscured most of his form, now those hairs multiplied exponentially until they seemed to fill the very air around him. His hairy foot that had almost been showing itself became covered even more densely than before!
What!
Noah had thought that with a grand transformation, Ul’moreth might shed his hair and finally be observed without it! He had imagined that reaching Absolute would reveal the true form beneath those countless strands!
But his existence erupted with even more obsidian-gold hair instead!
His outline became hazy as he looked like a round mass of hairs that had achieved sentience and decided to become one of the more powerful beings in Observable Existence!
But apart from this hair...
DUM!
Was a beat.
But it was not a heartbeat.
It was the beat of something far more profound, shining with the splendor of Absolute authority that resonated across dimensions and distances that defied normal comprehension.
Noah could sense it.
He could feel it!
His Mana seethed with recognition!
The First Tongue burned brilliantly in response to what was occurring!
And an obsidian-gold pillar of light shot up from Ul’moreth and stretched out across Observable Existence!
It was a sign.
A sign of the emergence of an Absolute.
Every Absolute across Observable Existence would perceive this pillar. They would know that someone new had joined their ranks. They would wonder who this being was and what their emergence meant for the balance of power that had been shifting so rapidly since THE Fallout began.
|Absolute Emergence Confirmed|
|An Absolute backing your Way has risen, also by your hands.|
|THE Teacher of THE First Tongue has taken a step and staked everything to succeed.|
|He has gained the distinctions of THE Big Stepper, THE Teacher, THE Primeval Titan, THE Aeon-Strand Keeper.|
|The Way of Primordial Continuity under Ul’moreth shall preserve THE First Tongue even if Existence itself collapses.|
|This is his oath.|
|This is his purpose.|
|THE Absolute Depth of Primordial Continuity, a specialization of THE First Tongue, has established itself across Observable Existence as Absolute, and it has been embodied by THE Big Stepper.|
BOOM!
Off to the side, Ains smiled brilliantly with genuine joy for his old companion who had finally achieved what had been denied to him for so long within THE Belly of Existence!
Skoll jumped and did a backflip with enthusiasm that only a very good dog could muster, his neon flames blazing brighter in celebration!
And...
|Harvest Assessment|
|Since the advent of THE Fallout and the hours that have passed, an Absolute has fallen under your hands, and another Absolute has risen with your aid.|
|A Harvest of Quintessential Immensity flows to your existence from this momentous achievement.|
|The Harvest of Infinite Potential from the backing of an Absolute flows to your Existence.|
|It is estimated to elevate your comparative percentage of Foundation at Fundamental Depth by 15-20%.|
...!
BOOM!
