Sea of Stars UO, an Age of Heroic Spirits Everywhere
The Root Will of all death desires Rovi to 'live'.
The Root Princess is connected to the source of power, wishes for Rovi's 'death'.
This is exactly what Rovi is experiencing right now.
Tokyo, the capital of Japan.
This has brought about tremendous and unprecedented changes to the world.
Of course, as helpless as he was, being "targeted" by Ryougi Shiki " and "Sajyou Manaka" was not a difficult thing for Rovi to think about.
The former goes without saying; having extracted too much power from the source, it's only natural that he would be targeted by the Root Will.
And the latter...
"How interesting, her name is Rovi, right? Rovi, Rovi!" The girl named Sajyou Manaka, with her short, golden hair swaying in the wind, put her hands behind her back, leaned forward, and her slender body, wrapped in a light blue long dress, was slightly bound, outlining a delicate and exquisite figure that looked like a young girl who was about to bloom.
Warm and soft, her legs, clad in silk stockings, extended in rounded curves. The girl tilted her head, her smile pure and innocent, "Can I try to kill you?"
"I... I can't see your 'death'!"
The princess who connects to the source, after her descent, has no secrets left in the world before her.
She is neither invincible nor so powerful as to be unshakeable.
As Magecraft, her magic has a limit.
But her power, which is connected to the root, is almost limitless.
However, this near-infinity made it impossible to see the figure before him—impossible to see his 'death'.
It seems that no matter what, I cannot bring it to its destined end.
Even a flat world.
Even if there are different possible branches.
This is the 'unknown'—the first time Sajyou Manaka has felt and experienced the 'desire for knowledge'.
"That's not true." Ryougi Shiki raised her long, sharp katana at the same time. The girl, who also had short hair but had a cold demeanor, slowly spoke as the manifestation of the Root Will: "Those who draw power from the Root should be one with the Root."
"Today, past, and eternity."
"The Void Realm is characterized by purity and cleanliness."
"Does Gengen also want companionship?" Sajyou Manaka.
"Doesn't the one who connects to the root also have unknowns?" Ryougi Shiki's face remained indifferent.
Sajyou Manaka wanted to say something more, but suddenly paused.
She looked at Rovi.
Rovi let out a soft breath, his eyes gleaming with boundless light and color. "Guo Xin..."
"It's not that easy."
"Not so... easy?" The blonde girl tilted her head, a glint of light flashing in her blue eyes.
Ryougi Shiki's delicate brows furrowed slightly. "You... tried to touch it?"
"No touching, just perception." Rovi clapped his hands, as if it were perfectly natural.
At this moment, the 'seat' of the root has been revealed in the world.
At this moment, countless individuals have already appeared on the pages of Human History.
The 'seat' covers the present world.
But as had been foreseen, the 'seat' was dragged into the world, but it was not the whole story.
Instead, it has only one layer.
"The 'seat' that exists within the root is a vast information repository that stores information about the activities of all life in the universe and the possible branches that arise from these activities."
"In the vast universe, the existence of mankind is extremely special. Compared with the single characteristics of the Star Civilization and Atlantis, mankind possesses both emotion and reason, Chaos and order. In addition, the existence of mankind in the Sea of Stars gives them the ability to create infinite possibilities and infinite branches of worlds in the vast universe."
"Such capabilities have even created a heavy burden on the interior of the solar system, thus evolving into a 'cutting' mechanism."
"Therefore, the proportion of human beings occupying a 'seat' is extremely large."
"But no matter how large the proportion..."
"And it can't be the only one either."
The birth of consciousness is a miracle built up by infinite probabilities, but no matter how miraculous it is, in the vast universe and among the infinite stars, it is impossible for there to be only one case.
Humans are special.
But it is by no means the only one.
On that 'seat' are inscribed traces of the life activities of other star systems and other civilizations.
Therefore, although Rovi pulled down the 'seat' in a very formal way, it was only one layer.
There is only one layer belonging to humans.
Other civilizations' destinies, those who transcend death, the ' Divine Seat ' that records the traces of gods' existence, and even the Throne of Heroes are all part of the Throne of Heroes.
The term ' Heroic Spirit ' can encompass heroes, gods, and even those who retain a soul or consciousness.
And Rovi's power resides on the very top layer of all these records and traces.
The descending 'seat' is only a part of it.
That wasn't enough to allow him to reach the top of the steps leading to his infinite power, to the Divine Seat.
This was precisely the result he obtained in the instant he exchanged and conversed with Ryougi Shiki and Sajyou Manaka, closing his eyes and using the power of the Star-making God to envelop the planet, sensing the changes in the world.
The way to break the deadlock
Ultimately, it's just 'maybe'.
"So I've already said it." Ryougi Shiki smiled, the sword in her hand gleaming faintly. Her voice was clear and cool, calm yet tinged with anticipation. "I can help you reach that very top—"
"Is the prerequisite becoming a puppet of the Root?"
"Why not?" His short black hair swayed, and his dark pupils reflected a faint light. "Everything flows from the source, and everything ultimately returns to the source."
"What is the difference between being one with the root and being one with the present?"
"I have it." Rovi said seriously.
He said, "Since everything has a source... then why can't I be my own source?"
"So—let me kill him, isn't that enough?" Sajyou Manaka was beaming with excitement, her skirt swaying as if she were about to jump up. "If you want to take the seat of honor, isn't this the simplest way?"
If back when Rovi was still the ' Uruk Sage,' he might have actually offered himself up for Aika to try and kill.
But now it is not the same.
Now he is the ' Star-making God ', and the stable world allows him to fully unleash his power.
It's so 'dead' that it can't get a seat.
"So, why didn't you do this sooner?"
"So, it's all about your performance, huh?" Sajyou Manaka clapped her hands. "Such a brilliant performance, this is the first time I've ever seen one! Pulling the 'seat' down and all that..."
Even after seeing all the sights in the world, I have never heard of Aika.
She had actually wanted to make a move for a long time.
But I was drawn to this thing and only now have I come here.
"Was that a great 'performance'? Well then, would you like to see an even more spectacular one?"
Rovi turned his gaze away from Sajyou Manaka, then swept it over Ryougi Shiki, and finally looked into the distance.
The ancient heroes who gradually emerge on the pages of Human History.
These are the outstanding figures from the past records of humankind, who have re-emerged.
The inability to directly seize one's own power does not mean that Rovi is truly helpless.
Even the wisest person thinks things through carefully.
He had a second plan from the very beginning—
Unable to target the vast database of information recording the fate of the universe.
Then let's set the target...
From '', to ''.
"Gaia, Alaya, are you ready?"
'What a bossy guy...'
"Yes, it's ready, Father."
"So, it's fine if you don't call me Father..."
The Sea of Stars.
Gaia and Alaya exchanged a glance after receiving Rovi's message.
"Alaya, what should I do?"
"Open the 'barrier' between the planet and the Sea of Stars, and directly contact the infinite world formed by the infinite existence and the contact with other possibilities."
"Wouldn't that be too risky?"
"It is indeed risky, considering that the Counter Force's purpose is clearly to 'continue its own stable existence'..."
"It's all that guy's fault!"
"Yes, Father's actions always surprise everyone, yet they are irresistible—that's what makes Father so incredible, isn't it?"
Gaia remained silent for a moment, then finally did not refuse.
Open the Sea of Stars.
To allow the planet to make direct contact with, and even connect with, other worlds within the Sea of Stars.
This is exactly what Rovi calls the 'second option'.
By utilizing the existence of countless Heroic Spirit that manifest and descend, we can merge the Sea of Stars, and form a world from which countless other possibilities arise, originating from those countless Heroic Spirit.
Let the Counter Force become the Counter Force within the Sea of Stars.
Let Rovi become the UO of the Sea of Stars.
After the world underwent tremendous changes.
Another major change.
After the heroic Heroic Spirit appeared, the aurora once again enveloped the world.
On this day, observatories in countless countries discovered enormous changes in the universe visible through their telescopes.
Countless intertwined rays of light, like rainbows, engulfed the original universe and void.
The atmosphere has always been a barrier for the Earth.
An environment that sheltered life.
It blocked the Sea of Imaginary Numbers.
But it also serves as a barrier for the Sea of Stars.
This moment.
Gaia removed it, and the scene of the Sea of Stars appeared on its own.
It was on this very day.
Countless people, in a daze, dreamed of their past and future, and of their own infinite possibilities.
The world centered on Rovi is gradually becoming blurred under the impact of the Sea of Stars.
Just like a distorted photograph, it gradually dissipates in both space and time.
It looked as if it had been bleached.
Similarly, with him at the center, pillars rise up one after another, shining brightly.
The glory of the Heroic Spirit.
The glory of heroes
It's not 'one', but 'ten thousand'.
The Sea of Stars connects to a world of infinite possibilities.
The existence of ordinary people is too fragile, and the world composed of ordinary people will be submerged by the endless world.
Therefore, ' Heroic Spirit ' are needed as support.
Therefore, ' Heroic Spirit ' are needed as anchors for stable existence.
And the so-called heroes...
"Everyone has the potential to be a hero."
Even if it's extremely small, even if it's only a one in a billion chance...
"The truly limitless 'seat' should be just like this."
Rovi stared intently at Ryougi Shiki and Sajyou Manaka before him, and at the Root Will and the Root Princess before him.
"Having already bound together its own possibilities... does it further bound together the possibilities of the world?"
"This is getting more and more interesting... Rovi."
Ryougi Shiki Shiki's calm expression revealed a hint of surprise, Sajyou Manaka blinked her blue eyes, her urge to kill Rovi growing stronger.
No matter what they think, they can't change Rovi's mind at this moment.
They couldn't stop Rovi from doing what he was doing.
"Well then—goodbye, you two."
"We will meet again." Ryougi Shiki said earnestly.
Aika tilted her head. "I think so too."
"Yes, I am confident."
"Perhaps, it's 'seat'."
The stronger he became, the stronger Rovi desire to reclaim his power grew.
It's not just because of the sheer size of that power.
It is also because of the meaning that power represents.
——'Transcendence'.
——Oneself is one's own 'vortex of origin'.
That is, in the blink of an eye.
Rovi's figure disappeared.
After converging his own possibilities and the world's possibilities, he entered the Sea of Stars. Then, carrying the imprint of the infinite world within the Star Sea of Stars Sea of Stars, he leaped into the outer layer of the world, the Sea of Imaginary Numbers, and ascended against the flow of time.
Use the traces of your own existence as anchor points.
I use my own existence as evidence.
Only by covering the entire river of time with his own traces, only by occupying the source of all possibilities on the planet with his own existence, can he become the true UO of the Sea of Stars.
at the same time.
To thoroughly solidify his status and power as a ' Star-making God '.
Although going against time is bound to be extremely dangerous, as one may be assimilated by the long passage of time and have one's consciousness affected by the vicissitudes of life.
'Any further ahead, even I can't reach it.'
Gaia's voice echoed in Rovi's ears.
Long ago.
So ancient that even planetary Counter Force had not yet been developed.
Yes...
"Even this little bit, I have already made preparations."
Rome two thousand years ago.
The Great Qin two thousand two hundred years ago.
Further back, there were Israel, Egypt, Greece, Mesopotamia...
Rovi's figure kept moving forward.
Until the very beginning of the planet's formation.
Until, in a world where lava churned and the planet's shape was still unstable, he saw a familiar shadow.
"Aaaaa!"
Tiamat, the Primordial God of Mesopotamia, the embodiment of the Sea of Chaos.
She was also the 'backup plan' that Rovi had prepared.
The 'anchor' stored before the 56th.
"Sorry to keep you waiting." Rovi looked into those pink, starry eyes.
He smiled.
Slowly, I welcomed the beautiful figure with her long, flowing hair, as white as the sea, into my embrace.
Tiamat was overjoyed, and they embraced, touched, and came together.
This is the Tiamat that existed in the beginning, but it is also the Tiamat that Rovi knew.
Although before this, she had always existed in the Highest Heaven of the beginning.
As the Star-making God,
She had already extended this Highest Heaven to the world of Chu.
What is the foundation of the Star-making God?
Returning to the original planet.
To open up the world at its beginning.
This is a power that Tiamat herself possesses.
That's also why she waited here.
I will help you.
"Strengthen ourselves—"
With a gentle caress, Tiamat softly kissed Rovi.
Chuchu shared.
The sea and the sea merging at this moment.
Tiamat is the goddess who governs the primordial Sea of Chaos.
Rovi also oversees the cycle of water between Heaven, Earth, and Man — the Freshwater Sea that exists between heaven and earth.
They met.
And at this moment, the world has been stabilized.
Together they created the beginning of the world, and together they created the initial environment.
Freshwater and saltwater mingled, giving birth to heaven, earth, and all things in the beginning.
Mesopotamian Mythology
It is not the First God.
Rather, it is the Star-making God.
God who created the stars...
"After that, all you have to do is 'die' to get the seat!"
Because Rovi is now inseparable from reality.
He created Human Order.
It also created the world.
The present world is part of the 'seat'.
So after death, one can naturally follow the connection between the 'seats' and reach a higher level.
The conditions for 'leaving a mark on history' are no longer available.
"I refuse to believe we can't get a seat!"
Holding this thought in mind.
After accompanying Tiamat through the initial long period.
Rovi chose to return to the 'real world'.
return...
The point in time after the Holy Grail War.
King Arthur seized power in Britannia by force and established his kingdom.
Nero Claudius, the King of the World, entered the former site of the Roman Court amidst the overwhelming support of the people.
Attila's army arrived in Gaul, where Joan of Arc clashed with her Dragon Witch in the Paris region.
Gilgamesh and Ramesses II, representing Uruk, signed a cooperation agreement with the Egypt Empire.
'The U. S. military suffered a major blow and announced its withdrawal from the Mesopotamian Plains; a revitalized Washington, reborn in the Platinum Palace, delivered a speech beneath the Statue of Liberty.'
"Emperor Guangwu of Han, Liu Xiu, announced that a Imperial Heaven and Houtu will be held next month."
'...'
Late 20th century.
The bustling lights illuminate the world, and the sounds of news reports echo continuously, revealing the changes brought about by Rovi.
The Heroic Spirit descend to earth, mystery and humanity coexist.
Rovi opened his eyes.
Amidst the light drizzle, a long spear emerged from the shadows.
"Finally, it's my turn—"
"Rovi".
The figure holding a gun tossed his long hair and looked at Rovi.
A sense of impending battle was palpable.
A chilling murderous intent emanated from him.
