Those small and medium-sized civilizations that were suppressed and marginalized during the era of the Mother of the Stars gained unprecedented space for development.
Like wild horses released from their tethers, they galloped freely across the vast grasslands, giving birth to one after another of stunningly powerful and Sage individuals.
The mysteries of magic have been explored to new heights, the boundaries of technology have been expanded to unprecedented distances, and the Faith System has become more profound and stable under the blessing of the power of Samsara.
The entire Astral Realm is flourishing and growing.
As the creator of all this, after becoming the Speaker of Civilization, Logo carefully modified the system that He had developed and perfected in the Spirit Saint Domain and moved it to the Astral Realm.
The Heavenly Net was the first to be transplanted. The golden network that covered the entire Spirit Saint Domain was restructured, rewoven, and re-adapted in the Astral Realm.
The Heavenly Net Heavenly Net of the Astral Realm is far larger, more sophisticated, and more layered than that of the Celestial Net of the Spirit Saint Domain —it covers all planes and stars within the Astral Realm that are included in its management framework, like an invisible neural network connecting all the information and power of the entire realm.
All civilizations can use the Heavenly Net to share information in real time, coordinate the allocation of resources, and jointly command battles.
The Samsara System was also brought over. With the Heaven-Bearing Reincarnation Disc as its core, Logo rebuilt a complete Six Paths of Reincarnation system in the Astral Realm.
Unlike the Spirit Saint Domain, the Astral Realm's Samsara System is much larger and more complex, because it carries not only the beings of the Spirit Saint Domain, but also the souls of countless planes and civilizations throughout the entire Astral Realm.
The Gate of the Six Paths slowly rotate in the depths of the Nether Realm Astral Realm, Samsara the past and present lives of billions of beings in an orderly manner toward their rightful destiny.
Many other systems— the Immortal and God System of the Spirit Saint Domain, the time acceleration of the Fantasy Dimension, and the quantitative assessment of merit and achievements—were all modified by Logo and moved to the Astral Realm, where they were integrated and complemented by the existing civilization system of the Astral Realm.
Of all these changes, the most important one is the acceleration of Space-Time.
Logo used Samsara and Heavenly Net as the core hubs to significantly increase the Space-Time flow rate throughout the Astral Realm.
Under His control, time within the Astral Realm flows at a speed far exceeding that of the Chaos Sea outside.
So while it may seem like 100,000 years have passed in the Astral Realm, only a hundred years have actually passed in the outside world.
This century is but a fleeting moment in the eyes of the other realms of the Chaos Sea.
However, for the Astral Realm, this rapid development over the past 100,000 years has caused the entire realm's foundation to Berserk.
The achievements of civilization, the number of powerful individuals, the depth of laws, and the level of technology accumulated within the inner time—all of these are rapidly improving at a speed that is incomprehensible to the outside world.
Meanwhile, Logo laid a trap in the Chaos Sea beyond the Astral Realm.
That network is connected to the Heavenly Net within the Astral Realm, but it has a completely different function. It acts like a giant information filter, screening, intercepting, and distorting all information flows that attempt to be transmitted outward from the Astral Realm.
The news that a Third-Step Eternity had been born in the Astral Realm was tightly sealed within the Astral Realm by this inescapable net, without leaking even a trace to the Chaos Sea outside.
What He wants to do is quite obvious.
conquer.
The Astral Realm is just the beginning.
Logo's ultimate goal is to conquer all the civilizations in this entire Chaos Sea region and bring them under his control.
He wants more than just a Astral Realm; He wants the entire Chaos Sea, all the realms large and small hidden deep within the chaos, all the undiscovered civilizations and races, and all the chaotic territories containing Infinity possibilities.
Because He knew that Destruction Tide was imminent.
The Destruction Tide is a Legend circulating in the Chaos Sea, and also a real threat. Every so often, unpredictable long period, a cataclysmic calamity will erupt in the Chaos Sea. The tide surges from the deepest part of the Chaos Sea, carrying a terrifying power capable of devouring, disintegrating, and annihilating all existence. Wherever it passes, all things are reduced to ruins, all worlds are submerged, and all spirits vanish.
Legend has it that those who achieve the Third-Step Eternity can cross the Destruction Tide, safely traversing the Destruction storm, and arrive at a more peaceful and Eternity other shore beyond the waves— the Land of Origin.
But Legend are just Legend, and no one knows whether they are true or not.
After all, in the known history of the Chaos Sea, there are only a handful of beings who have reached the Third-Step Eternity, and even fewer who have survived the Destruction Tide. Even the few words provided by those who have returned are often vague, contradictory, and difficult to verify.
Therefore, given Logo's nature, He must push Him to the limit of His ability before He can truly cross the Destruction Tide.
The limit is for all three of them to reach the Third-Step Eternity realm, and if possible, even better to break through this level.
Logo, Lancelot, and Gustavo are beings born from the same origin, each possessing an independent and complete foundation for cultivation.
Logo has already stepped into the Third-Step Eternity, but Lancelot and Gustavo remain at the peak of the Second-Step Eternity, just one step away from that door. If they could be helped to break through to the Third-Step Eternity as well, and then the three of them could merge again—what terrifying power that would be!
Perhaps, that power is enough to turn the very Destruction Tide into a smooth path.
For a hundred thousand years, Logo has been using the Eye of Truth to deduce subsequent realms. He has brought the entire Astral Realm Will under the jurisdiction of the Eye of Truth, making the unimaginably vast collective consciousness of the Astral Realm the source of the Eye of Truth's calculations. With Infinity supply of energy, the Eye of Truth has been operating for a full hundred thousand years.
The terrifying crystallization of wisdom that it produced, although it did not help Logo advance further—the path after the Third-Step Eternity remained shrouded in Mist, as unfathomable as the deepest unknown realm of the Chaos Sea —allowed Him to discern an extremely important result.
A precise hierarchical division of the Eternity realm.
Nine Heavens of Eternity!
Prior to this, the Eternity Realm was only broadly divided into three steps:
First-Step Eternity is to achieve a breakthrough in any system—whether it be the Matter System, the Law System, or the World System —and become an Eternity existence.
Although this step is difficult, a considerable number of geniuses and powerful individuals in the Chaos Sea have managed to achieve it. They have each anchored their Eternity foundation within different systems, gaining Immortal life and an indestructible will.
The Second-Step Eternity, on the other hand, is to be compatible with other systems on this basis. This is hundreds or thousands of times more difficult than the First-Step Eternity.
Because the laws, structures, and operating logic of different systems are completely different, forcibly making them compatible can lead to conflicts of power and a shake of the foundation at best, and even cause the collapse of the foundation and annihilation at worst. The vast majority of those One-Step Eternal will never be able to take this step in their entire lives. They can only slowly hone and refine themselves over a long period of time, hoping for that almost impossible opportunity.
The Third-Step Eternity means being compatible with the three major systems.
That is the ultimate state where all three systems are perfectly integrated into one. The Eternal has reached this stage has power that far surpasses the former two.
The three systems of matter, law, and world form a complete closed loop within His body. Every bit of power can freely flow and transform among the three, unleashing supreme power far beyond conventional understanding.
