Hope itself was the act of creating possibility from impossibility.
Even when facing a situation already completely decided by the Narrative Heavenly Mandate, Naimus kept searching for changes, then chose new hope from among them.
At this moment, the Sun God was not merely an enemy.
He represented Heavenly Mandate, an absolutely unbeatable calamity, an insurmountable wall.
Yet even in this situation, Naimus still charged at him!
The hope in his heart burned at that moment.
Across the possibilities of World Number Eighteen, flames began to kindle in the hearts of those who had survived.
As a diffuse world-rule lifeform, Naimus had already been sown as hope, appearing in the heart of every being.
So long as hope existed in their hearts, they were, in a sense, Naimus.
With Naimus fully relinquishing authority, everyone's values and abilities began to rise rapidly.
The "Marginal Increase Effect" caused countless people's strength to soar at that moment.
And they were different from Naimus.
Naimus was a pathbreaker. He needed to shatter every bottleneck.
He had to seek out every possible method to reach higher levels.
But the people before him did not need to do that. They could follow Naimus's path and advance swiftly.
The first to complete her breakthrough was the God of Life.
The flames ignited by countless lives became a shared trait of life, and that trait swiftly fed back into the God of Life.
She had originally achieved rule resonance through Deflection Force and part of the Path of the Old Gods.
But now, guided by Naimus, she swiftly completed the Path of the Old Gods and became a life-rule lifeform.
The feeling of simply sprinting toward where Naimus stood, with sufficient power naturally following along the way and rapidly filling her up to elevate her, was unprecedentedly exhilarating.
