2415 Indefatigable I
Why weren't the many Disciples of Inheritances wishing to seek fortune in the Youngest Haven when Extremity Sanctification began sent here to build up their power over the years?
After all, the Extremity Sanctification of the First Haven was a special one- and the Extremity Sanctification of the Last Haven was bound to be just as fantastical!
The answer to this...lay in the utter importance of the recognition and branding of the Haven one was in during their Apexification as those already in other stages of Extremity Sanctification provided immensely more benefit than what Dissolution could potentially come to provide later on.
There were even a myriad of Inheritances with many Unequaled Reverend Emperors ready to undergo Apexification as they waited to see how grand the results of the Initiation Step of the Extremity Vein of Dissolution would be before deciding to put their forces and efforts into the Culmination Step where the might of Apex Aeonic Lifeforms would come into play.
Some were even planning on utilizing the Scions participating in the Initiation Step to attain Extremity Panaceas for these purposes!
There were many different methods... but the end result would always be determined by a single factor.
Power!
Even if those undergoing Apexification in the Haven of Dissolution had an advantage, if they faced an Apex Aeonic Lifeform who held multiple Dynamis of Extremity with multiple Boundaries at the 10th Boundary Layer...would it really matter?!
But the up and coming Cult of Endless Shadows made its moves as at this moment, the Extremity Shadow of Immeasurable Darkness asked Silas.
"And our progress?"
At such a question, Silas steeled himself as he began speaking slowly.
"I came across a Mutated Entity without an Inheritance, and yet he held over a dozen Consummate Boundaries and showed prowess rivaling if not exceeding top ranked Disciples of Aeonic Inheritances of Extremity. He has even begun the Convergence of a Dynamis of Extremity as to tie this talent towards our Cult...I made an Oath of Extremity."
...!
"What?"
BZZZT!
A single word came from the other end as Silas felt a heavy and inescapable pressure, very quickly explaining the sequence of events as well as the contents of his Oath as when the Extremity Shadow of Immeasurable Darkness heard everything, he remained silent thereafter!
Silas took the silence as a good thing as a sigh rang out with words following it soon after.
"There don't seem to be any loopholes as achieving Extremity in 10 years is impossible even with your talent, even if we gave you the Shadow Sword for all those 10 years. But even though it is impossible, that is exactly what Extremity seeks to achieve... impossibility. I wish you came to me before you made the Oath as I could've confirmed how it would play out, but nobody can peer into the possible results now with the involvement of the Oath of Extremity. Very well...you shall bear all responsibility for this. We will see how things go with the procurement of the Extremity Panaceas for the Shadowlings first..."
The words caused the immense pressure on Silas to slowly fade as he nodded with a smile!
"Understood!"
He looked forward to the future.
There were bound to be many benefits and surprises for his Cult of Endless Shadows!

Aurelia stared intently as a Relic was anchored at the very center of a stunning Forge, streams of multicolored light wrapping around her smoothly as the light of already formed EPOCH Relics also went towards her to be absorbed.
This was already fantastical enough, but her heart was pulsing when she watched the tens of Fragments forming near this same region that released an air of profound Extremity!
Pieces of Extremity Circulation Modus Operandi.
The tool that the most powerful Inheritances kept tightly guarded and utilized to circulate a myriad of Boundaries in unique ways, achieving stupendous results in the form of Dynamis of Extremity as this...all went towards their members achieving Extremity!
But...then what?
Was it truly worthy to be excited for what came as one became a powerful Apex Aeonic Lifeform and even those lucky enough to reach Extremity?
When Aurelia thought of this, her free heartfelt suppressed as a feeling of oppression she had felt a long time ago returned!
Her head turned to stare at the being focused on the formation of Loot as she felt like he was similar to her in their mindset. It was why he was able to revolutionize her Forge, after all.
Maybe he would be able to understand her.
"Do you...know why Inheritances and ancient factions run around recruiting as many beings as possible to bolster their power? Why all the Havens are so intent on Extremity?"
Her question caught Noah off guard as he turned towards her with bright eyes, his expression calm as he continued gazing at the forming Fragments of the Quintessential Breath of Extremity while he replied.
"I have an idea."
An idea of what lay ahead.
Aurelia laughed ruefully at this as she opened her hands wide and floated back into a cluster of Complete Obsidian Aeonic Pearls of Extremity.
"When you reach Apexification, they'll forcefully tell you the whole picture. They'll tell you what responsibilities you now hold and what to look for in your future. Do you know how frustrating it was for me to spend a few billion years living freely how I liked, secluded and surrounded by my treasures, and the moment I reach a grand stage of might and undergo Apexification...I am imposed restrictions tighter than any freedom I had prior?"
WAA!
Her strands of golden hair danced on the dazzling circles of singularities around her.
Her fair skin illuminated with golden light as her sun like eyes looked dimmer than before!
"Achieving greater stages of might should've come with even more freedom, but I've to realize it's the opposite. Even if you reach Extremity... the weight around you only gets heavier. It makes one contemplate whether it's worth it to tirelessly and indefatigably pursue greater strength. Whether one should truly even seek Extremity."
Her wide eyes blinked as it seemed like two suns were brightening and dimming at the same time, Noah taking his stare away from the formation of Loot as he turned to closely look at this being whose carefree smile and expression were long replaced by anxiety...and even a hint of fear!
"Did you know that in these Seven Havens...the mortality rate of those who have reached Extremity is even higher than Apex Aeonic Lifeforms?"
BOOOM!
Horrific words emanated from her mouth as she raised her right hand up- trying to grasp something that seemed too far away!
"When looking at their total numbers and how many face death, the ratio is much greater for the mighty and powerful figures who should be those with the most freedom!"
