2149 Survival and Sacrifice! III
"Even back then, I understood that everything had a cycle. What we began would eventually run its course and come to an end…and so I left the signature of my eye in the expanse of space and time to find anyone who would be seeking for a different path. To be able to shed the light on whatever they seek as they can at least accomplish what I failed to do here. To find another path that is far different from what we chose."
…!
The First True Emperor of the Age of Genesis had an ethereal expression when he spoke of this, his eyes that were as bright and as forceful as a Singularity continuing to gaze out at the stellar plans before them!
Yet towards his question…Noah floated right in front of this being and stared at him straight on, his gaze feeling like he was staring at an unfathomable black hole as he replied grandly.
"How cowardly."
WAA!
"You aid in the suppression of the Desolate Mausoleum in a path you do not agree with, and you preside over the True Throne of the First Age without undertaking any changes…only to leave behind your signature so that someone else down the line would fix your mistakes for you? Whatever the construct I am talking to now…what about its main body? Where are you now in the midst of all this?"
Noah's grandiosity didn't hold back even while standing before the construct of a True Emperor- an existence with such majesty and pressure that the souls of lesser Nature Integration existences would have shattered from just gazing at his eyes!
At Noah's words, the gaze of this being stopped staring and the expanse and focused on Noah's figure.
BZZZT!
The weight of the world seemed to fall on his shoulders as his Will trembled, but he gazed on at the Ancestor that had presided over the True Throne of the First Age as this being's will emanated out again!
"I am but a mere construct from the Eyes of Clarity that eventually showed me the wrongness of the path we took, and I do not share a current connection with the Main Body. I know not whether he is alive or dead in all this, but if things have evolved to the state I have seen while fusing with your eyes and I have yet to appear…then I do hope it is because I am dead. Because if I do not act when the path we chose moved from suppression to destruction, I truly do not deserve to live."
…!
The Will of the Ancestors!
Were there truly none who wanted to preserve the Desolate Mausoleum and the 9 Dimensions? Were all of them so cohesive in their decision to allow the destruction of everything in order to escape the binding of Natural Laws?
As he spoke, the visage of the First True Emperor waved its hands beside it as in the incandescent skies above, a blinding point of light that formed into the structure of a massive throne of light.
It blazed with authority and grandiosity that it felt blinding to even look at from afar!
"As for fixing these mistakes…I was among the few that came up with a chance to do that during the suppression of the Desolate. As what we did entirely went against Nature, accomplishing it was a nearly impossible task as after sacrificing a great deal of things…the last piece of the puzzle was the True Throne…and its cycling of Authority across the Ages."
The different Eras.
The cycles of Ages that went by!
"The True Throne of an Age…was a way to rectify nature and leave a sense of balance- giving Reality a way to overcome its suppression as if the True Emperors of at least 9 Ages utilized their authority for a single purpose, the suppression of the Desolate Mausoleum would be lifted. The choosing of a True Emperor would be overseen passively by Reality itself as when a certain existence exemplified the Extreme of an Age and accumulated sufficient authority in the bounds of Reality, they would attain the True Throne. It was an idea, and it was also a chance for salvation for the Desolate Mausoleum. As the First True Emperor, I was too bound and weak by newly rising ideals as I did not take any action to undo what was just done, convincing myself of leaving it for the Emperors of future Ages. But it seems…every future Emperor took the same path I did as countless Ages came, and countless Ages passed."
The tone was somber.
Ancientness could be felt from this being as the blinding throne of light floating afar seemed to be coming ever closer!
"Every Emperor took the same path that is…until the Last Age. Until the Age focusing on the Extreme of Destiny, a True Emperor rose who conducted an action even my old self couldn't have imagined with his accumulated authority."
HUUM!
The blinding white throne suddenly changed and became painted grandiose gold.
From the pure white Throne of Genesis, the Throne of Destiny released blinding luster as even Noah's eyes reflected its rays of light while digesting all of this information!
OPPENHEIMER!
This was actually the first True Emperor to go against the cycle of the countless Ages past- a being who actually split apart the Desolate Mausoleum into countless Shards as he brought about great instability.
But through this instability…
"A new path arose with his actions as after such a core part of the Desolate Mausoleum was changed due to his actions, the Anchors began to unwind. Reality gained more control as it would have eventually escaped its shackles and possibly regain enough of its power to overcome any possibility of destruction. But…even this path did not pan out as thought as now, a new Age comes. An Age that will be the decider on how things unfold came- the Age of Quintessence…I actually quite like that name. It seems fitting for the countless possibilities to come."
Towards the end of his words, the First True Emperor turned towards Noah again.
"It seems fitting for someone like you to make a choice…just like many of the True Emperors past."
…!
