Rumble--!!
The Eternity Chaos Saint Body walked through the Endless chaos, each step causing the chaotic energy within a radius of billions of miles to surge wildly. The gray currents twisted and exploded like disturbed dragons and snakes, emitting deafening roars. Some transformed into torrents that scattered in all directions, slowly flowing into gray rivers in the distant Void; others exploded into ripples in the fierce collisions, spreading in all directions and affecting the infinitely distant depths of chaos.
The giant that Logo had transformed into paced along amidst this chaotic upheaval.
Each step he took traversed unimaginable distances, leaving a deep, unfathomable footprint in the Chaos Sea. Those footprints lingered, resembling winding canyons in the gray ocean, etched with the marks of his journey.
He walked for an unknown amount of time—in the Chaos Sea, time had no meaning—before his eyes finally appeared a magnificent world, as radiant as the sun.
Astral Realm.
Even across the immense distance, even with countless layers of chaotic energy blocking the way, Logo could still sense the vast aura emanating from that realm. It was like an Eternity shining star, quietly suspended in the Core Zone of the Chaos Sea, radiating a warm and boundless light. That light was different from the blazing and domineering Blazing Sun Divine Light of the Sun God; instead, it possessed a kind of all-encompassing generosity and vastness, as if every being could find its place within it.
This is the Astral Realm.
One of the most powerful realms in the Chaos Sea, and also Logo's mother realm, the place where he was born.
Logo paused and gazed into the distance, his eyes piercing through layers of chaotic energy as he carefully examined the vast realm that had once been so familiar, yet now seemed somewhat unfamiliar due to the passage of time.
The Sea of Chaos is the origin and Termination of all universes and realms, vast Endless, giving birth to countless creations and Legendary. In an instant, countless worlds are born and perish within it—some newly born from chaos, radiating the vibrant vitality of new life; others already at the end of their decline, slowly withering, dissipating, and returning to nothingness under the licking of the Chaos Fire. The universe creates all things, and chaos gives birth to and destroys all worlds; this is an unchanging cyclical law from ancient times, from which no existence can escape.
Even among the countless worlds in this Chaos Sea, the Astral Realm is among the strongest.
Its size far exceeds that of ordinary realms, containing countless independent planes, Starry Sky, dimensions, and Space-Time layers. These sub-worlds surround and interact with each other, forming a vast and intricate ecosystem. From the outside, the Astral Realm resembles a super celestial body formed by the convergence of countless spheres of light, each sphere being an independent microcosm containing countless beings and civilizations.
The Astral Realm itself is an incomparably precious treasure.
Especially for Eternal, being born in the Astral Realm is an immense stroke of luck. This is because the Astral Realm is of a sufficiently high level, its laws sufficiently complete, and its origin sufficiently profound. Any being born within it naturally possesses a higher potential than beings from other regions of the Chaos Sea. Cultivating in the Astral Realm makes breaking through to the Eternity Realm much easier than in other realms, and once one achieves Eternity, the stability of their foundation far surpasses that of Eternal from ordinary realms.
Most importantly, the Astral Realm contains a glimmer of hope for transcendence.
That is what all the Eternal beings in the Chaos Sea dream of—transcending the shackles of the Chaos Sea and reaching a higher level of existence. As one of the highest realms in the Chaos Sea, the Astral Realm Legend to hold some kind of mystery related to "transcendence" deep within its origin. Only those who truly wield the Astral Realm Will have the chance to touch that sliver of opportunity.
In reality, all the powerful beings who have reached the Eternity Logo understand that the so-called opportunity is the Astral Realm itself. Its enormous size, if transformed into Inner Universe, will generate terrifying enhancements.
This is precisely the ultimate goal of the Mother of the Stars in orchestrating all of this.
Logo's gaze continued to penetrate deeper into the Astral Realm, passing through the outer, shimmering star planes, and through the intricate folds of Space-Time in the middle layer, reaching the very core of the Astral Realm. There, a fierce battle had just been initially suppressed— the Mother of the Stars was using her supreme power to forcibly suppress the resistance of the Astral Realm Will.
That was the final step necessary to gain control of the Astral Realm.
The Astral Realm Will is the "soul" of a realm, a collective consciousness of heaven and earth accumulated over countless billions of years. It lacks independent thought but possesses instinct, instinctively resisting any entity that attempts to completely control it. Mother of the Stars must do is to use her own power to utterly suppress, tame, and integrate it into one, thus becoming the true "master" of the Astral Realm.
In this process, the Mother of the Stars must subdue all the powerful civilizations and bring them all under her control.
The next crucial step is to subdue all the Eternal in the same way.
Within the Astral Realm, the Eternal are like giant sharks in a not-so-large pond. They possess the ability to violently stir up the entire pond, making them absolute disruptive forces. You must either win them over or eliminate them.
The Mother of the Stars, of course, would first choose to win them over; however, if she cannot win over these Eternal, she will not hesitate to take drastic measures.
Although her ideals differ from Logo's, the Mother of the Stars, like Logo, is a ruthless being who seeks to achieve her own goals.
This great battle has only just begun and is far from reaching its climax.
The Mother of the Stars had clearly calculated the timing perfectly—through her schemes, she orchestrated for the three Eternal to hold off Logo, while she herself, within the Astral Realm, completed the initial suppression of the Astral Realm Will, and then calmly dealt with the challenges from the other Eternal within the Astral Realm. Everything was calculated flawlessly, without the slightest error.
But all of this also gave Logo time to make arrangements at his leisure.
He stood in the Chaos Sea, his giant form slowly shrinking until he returned to the height of a normal person. He shifted his gaze from the Astral Realm to the other side of the Chaos Sea.
There, in the Spirit Ruins.
The Chaos Sea region where the Spirit Saint Domain is located is currently inaccessible across the vast chaos. However, Logo can sense that two powerful auras are rapidly approaching the Astral Realm from that direction. Those auras do not belong to any immortals or gods of the Spirit Saint Domain, but rather to two powerful allies he has long planned and arranged.
Gustavo.
Lancelot.
"Gustavo and Lancelot arrived immediately," Logo said, a determined glint in his eyes, "The victors of this battle will ultimately be us."
