Ten Lucky Draws: I Became OP

Chapter 280: The Dimensional Gate

As he watched Aurora go, Ash remained seated in the void between universes.

He wasn’t quite done bestowing powers, he went ahead and gave one power to each of his wives. It went without saying each of them were just as absurd as Aurora’s.

After that he focused on himself and his power well it was something he had no doubt that it would be something that would be his biggest qualitative leap towards his goal of omnipotence.

As he began writing Elysia and Creara appeared taking a seat on each of his shoulders.

“If those old scientists back on Earth knew what you were about to do right now.. they would lose their minds.” Elysia said causing Creara to chime in.

“While that may be true, how can we be certain this will push him further towards the goal?” She asked.

They both obviously knew what he had in mind, yet…. The knowledge they held on the topic was finite.

“Hmm, because it’s not a law or any concept in the lower dimension?” Ash said bringing his eyes from the codex as he wrote the final idea onto the blank page.

The topic in question was quantum.

The same quantum, scientists on Earth tried so desperately to understand. Normally, Ash wouldn’t know much about something like that — even as a transmigrator.

It was one of those things he’d only ever heard about in passing.

But he held all information of the Lower Dimension… and Earth was indeed part of it.

That meant he knew the current state of the world since his transmigration, the knowledge that had been lost afterward, and even the mysteries that ’tiny’ world still held.

It was something he planned to address shortly.

Back to the matter at hand — he had a basic understanding of quantum physics, and the closest thing he could vaguely connect it to in the realm of cultivation was paradox

.

Yet even then, it was different in ways he hadn’t fully grasped until now.

Much like Aurora, a subtle glow washed over him as the power of Quantum settled into place.

The tiers, it was important to note, held no restrictions for him.

Instead, the tiers outlined in the Codex reflected his very state of existence.

For example, Tier 4 capped at fourth‑dimensional power—an immediate reminder of just how vast the gap between each tier truly was.

For Ash, this meant he would gain all possible knowledge regarding Quantum: truths, theories, and its complete workings at the fourth‑dimensional level. The tiers beyond that would form naturally as he progressed.

Whenever he made a qualitative leap in his Power of Quantum, a new universal tier would be created for those who possessed powers.

“The Codex is truly something,” Creara said, her tone carrying a hint of challenge.

It was a creation that bordered… beyond absurd.

Take Quantum, for example.

It took the basic theories and fragmented knowledge of Earthlings and completed them—refining the idea into something functional for fourth‑dimensional beings.

“Hehe, see? Nothing could ever make me feel challenged,” Elysia teased, just as Ash disappeared.

He wasn’t leaving in the literal sense; he was simply taking a brief moment to breathe—stepping away to set a few things into motion.

—–

The trio emerged in the outer Lower Dimension, drifting in the void between universes.

Ash smiled for a few reasons, but he paused to check the name of his Power—something the codex had chosen, not him. He had only come up with the concept and fundamentals, leaving the rest to it.

[Quantum Eclipse (Tier 4) – You are able to collapse every undesired quantum state across infinite possibilities at once. Anything you focus on cannot exist in any form except the one you allow.]

—

In layman’s terms, the ability let things within the scope of his sight exist only in the form he wanted them to be. It was something that varied greatly from The Codex as it gave him slightly more leeway in what he wanted to do, especially in this moment.

“Not bad, now I just need to use this until a qualitative jump happens,” he muttered under his breath as he focused.

His vision blurred past all the universes they had conquered and went straight to the Absolute Void Zone.

“To think that such a tiny world would exist—not even within a universe, but among universes themselves,” Elysia said, shaking her head.

She wasn’t exaggerating.

Ash was staring directly at Earth.

The blue‑and‑green sphere floated alone in the very center of the Absolute Void Zone, surrounded by nothing.

No stars. No suns. Not even a moon.

Just a solitary world suspended in emptiness.

He hadn’t come here seeking anything tied directly to his past life. There was nothing on Earth that would compel him to return… nothing personal nor anything nostalgic.

However, from what he knew, the Absolute Void Zone wasn’t truly a “void” at all.

It was the remains of a damaged dimensional gate.

He still had no idea where the essence capable of killing even Cosmic Overlords originated, but he knew one thing with certainty: it had been a gate. In his life as the Dragon of Absolute Endings, he died without ever finding a way forward…

Just like countless others before him.

None of them had known the Gate to the Middle Dimension existed back then…. Even long before them.

Damaged, yes—but completely real.

Over countless cycles, its broken state slowly gave rise to the void zone.

Earth, along with the zone itself, had formed at the very start of the Second Cosmic Cycle.

In other words, not even the Sword Incarnation knew of its existence. Mostly because he didn’t care about higher dimensions—and neither did most beings of that era.

And why would they?

They believed themselves to be power itself… or so they thought.

All of this meant the path forward had always been there—just shattered and forgotten for reasons unknown.

And… Ash planned to fix it. Not for the greater good, not out of duty, but because certain things he had foreseen needed to fall into place.

|Quantum Eclipse|

He summoned his power into action, requiring no mana since it neither came from it nor depended on it to exist.

For now, all powers were fueled by his raw universal energy, but this wouldn’t last forever—after all, who could predict what might happen if billions tapped into it?

The power of Quantum felt like… nothing.

No surge, no pressure, no overwhelming sensation. Just an inherent awareness of what he could now do, as natural as breathing.

In his eyes, the Absolute Void Zone shifted instantly.

What had once been a dark emptiness now resembled a blank canvas. The void dissolved, replaced by a soft white expanse in which Earth drifted calmly—until he imagined it differently.

There was no spectacle, no dramatic ripple of power. He simply pictured Earth floating in the void, free from the dark essence that had once surrounded it.

And when he finished, reality matched his vision perfectly. Earth was restored to its original state, drifting peacefully among the universes.

One might assume he could have done this with his Authoring Potential, but that would be incorrect. As mentioned before, the Codex’s authoring capabilities were capped at fourth‑dimensional limits.

That meant it could stretch into the lower spaces, encompassing infinite multiverses and stepping beyond their laws and concepts.

Earth, however, was tied to dimensions far beyond mere multiverses—placing it outside his usual range of influence.

Still, with Quantum, all he needed was a single, direct glance.

“That was quite… simple for you, wasn’t it?” Creara remarked, surprise coloring her voice. They were all far more accustomed to grand, reality‑shaking displays.

Ash shrugged as he powered down the system.

“I just needed to get the job done; the fun is yet to begin,” he said, stretching as he gazed into the space ahead of him.

“Are you planning on watching me forever like some kind of weirdo?”
