Deathbone had emerged from seclusion.
Deathbone had entered seclusion even earlier than Mu Yuan, and Isroya and the others all knew that he had done so to seek a path forward.
How exactly should one walk the road from the Eternal Realm to the Supreme Realm?
Piecing together Branch Authorities and ultimately condensing a Universal Grade... The words sounded simple, and the summary was vague, but how exactly could one condense a Universal Grade? How should one piece together the Branch Authorities before condensing it?
No one knew.
This was a secret that could not be uncovered even by excavating primordial ruins or trading for information with the Universal Forces.
One could only rely on oneself.
"But how could the Path to Supremacy possibly be simple?"
How many Supremes were there in the entire universe now?
Leaving aside the Three Sons of Filth, who had just ascended to supremacy, there had previously been only three Supremes in the vast universe and its countless worlds.
"Holy Light," "Mystery," and "Chaos."
Pushing the timeline further back, before the Filth Calamity descended, there had still only been a handful of Supremes in the entire universe.
Deathbone indeed still could not become supreme in an instant.
The Path to Supremacy was long.
He had more or less figured out the path ahead.
He said, "The number of Branch Authorities that we in the Eternal Realm can condense and control has an upper limit."
"At first, when we control only three, four, five, or six Authorities, it isn't too obvious. But once the number of Authorities we control exceeds ten, the difficulty will multiply with every additional Authority."
"This means we can't condense and control Branch Authorities at will. We must condense those Key Node Authorities within the 'puzzle' of the Main Authority."
