Chapter 455: Script of Existence

From the viewpoint of everyone, they saw another change happening as an enormous outline of a circle appeared in the sky above the Golden Tree, its form becoming clearer with each passing second, and soon shades of white and black came into view, slowly defining themselves into something that resembled the symbol of Yin and Yang, its presence calm yet overwhelmingly vast.At the same time, ripples began to appear on the surface of the dark waters, spreading outward in a steady rhythm that did not feel natural, each wave rising and falling with a strange precision. And in the next instant, black and white fishes started to jump out from the surface of the water from everywhere, their movements synchronized as if they were responding to some unknown rhythm.

But in the very next second, something even more shocking happened, as an unbearable pressure descended, so heavy that even the God Ranked beings floating in the sky were forced down toward the ground, their control slipping under that weight. Only those at Celestial Rank were able to withstand that pressure and remain in the air, their numbers so few that they could be counted on one hand.

Following that pressure, black and white dragons crawled out from the enormous circle above, their forms slowly emerging as if they were being born from that symbol itself, mirroring each other perfectly as if they were parallel, their movements intertwining like a double helix DNA, smooth and continuous as they circled around one another.

The appearance of those enormously large dragons, only slightly smaller than the Golden Tree projection, caused fear to appear in the eyes of everyone present at the scene, their sheer size alone making the difference in scale impossible to ignore. And seeing those dragons appear, many beings that were planning to come to the Ocean through the various corners of Eden halted at that exact moment.

Nobody knew how those dragons would react, and thus, nobody wanted to risk their own lives by acting recklessly. They still remembered the scene when those Dark waters swallowed hundreds of people never to be seen again.

But all those present near the manifestation felt despair, their faces turning dark and their bodies trembling, not just because of fear of the unknown, but because of the ancient pressure and presence being released from those dragons, making it clear that this was something far beyond their understanding.

Among the beings that were thinking of whether to appear at that place of the Ocean, there was one particular being around 7-8 years old with snow like skin and crimson eyes that held no warmth of a child, but rather a cold detachment, with long black hair falling neatly over his shoulders, as that being watched the live stream in his own Universal System Screen, his gaze steady and unblinking.

That being was none other than Aamon, the Demon King of Destruction, Father of Orien and the Bearer of the Rune of Destruction.

I am glad that I controlled my greed there...

Aamon thought, his expression not changing, as even he could feel the horrible power those manifested dragons held, and if by any chance they attacked someone just like what happened in the Dark Sea, escaping would be nothing more than a pipedream, something he was not willing to gamble on.

I am already getting frustrated from the continuous chasing of those Golden birds and the Transcendents.......I can’t risk going somewhere that crowded.....

If he could, he would definitely get rid of the Universal System that had already formed a bond with him, whether he wanted it or not. Although his position was not exposed every second, every week someone from either of the two organizations would appear before him, forcing him to remain on the run without pause, which only added to his irritation.

Fucking Eternals....

There were many beings like him, who although were curious, did not take that one step toward their curiosity, choosing caution over impulse as they observed everything from afar.

Meanwhile, those black and white twin dragons started to move all around in the sky, weaving between the branches of the Golden Tree and across the open space, their movements smooth and synchronized, causing everyone to feel as if they were witnessing the Dance of the Twin Dragons, a sight both mesmerizing and terrifying at the same time.

All the while, those black and white fishes began forming pairs, circling around each other in perfect harmony, creating smaller manifestations of the Yin and Yang symbol before those symbols slowly transformed into a 25 petal lotus, formed from a perfect balance of black and white, each petal distinct yet seamlessly connected.

Soon, dark clouds began to gather in the sky, slowly covering the entire region where the manifestation was taking place, spreading outward in thick layers, and from within those clouds, streaks of purple lightning flickered into existence.

And seeing the appearance of that purple lightning, one of the Celestials who was in the sky heaved a quiet sigh of relief, the tension in his expression easing slightly as he observed the change more carefully.

It was Perseus.

Senior Brother of Elizabeth.

Indeed, although he was not anywhere near the Endless Oceans when this phenomenon first began, the moment he sensed such a large scale manifestation, he had no choice but to come here himself, his presence was among the very few who were still capable of remaining in the sky under this pressure.

And most of that decision could be traced back to his junior sister Elizabeth.

Only around an hour and a half had passed since he last spoke with her, when she had told him that she gave her last Legacy Crystal to a hidden genius who could manifest his Will even without the Soul Flame, something that had already left a deep impression on him.

And now, with this phenomenon appearing not long after, his overthinking mind could not help but draw a connection, even if he was aware that jumping to conclusions too quickly could lead him in the wrong direction, yet the timing alone was enough to make him suspicious.

But when he saw the purple lightning streaks running steadily across the dark clouds, his thoughts settled slightly, as a clear understanding formed in his mind.

Purple thunder tribulation only appeared when someone was forming the Fourth to Sixth Order Immortal Seal, and that alone gave him a huge sense of relief.

During the first three orders, blue lightning tribulation appears, during the next three orders, it would shift to purple lightning, and during the final three orders, it would turn into golden lightning, a progression that had never changed throughout the history. And it never will.

Looks like my junior sister this time has not caused trouble.....but even then, what kind of concept has that person fused with his Immortal Seal to create a phenomenon like this....???

His curiosity reached an all time high, his gaze fixed on the scene as he tried to understand what he was witnessing, knowing that whatever this was, it was not something ordinary.

And when he recalled the web of those unknown symbols getting compressed and vanishing entirely, he was completely certain that this was nothing but the manifestation of the formation of an Immortal Seal, the sequence unfolding in a way that aligned too perfectly with what he had learned and experienced before.

He was not ignorant like others, he did not connect that web of unknown symbols directly to Runes themselves, because he knew this was something that happened with everyone who fuses Law with their Immortal Seal, a process that appeared mysterious to most, but was actually a known stage to those who had access to deeper knowledge.

There were some things many people did not know about, and this was one of them.

Anyone who could comprehend the Laws before reaching God Rank was considered a genius, and geniuses were treated differently. They were taken to a safe and hidden place to form their Immortal Seal, away from prying eyes, which was why not many people knew that the same web of symbols appeared every single time someone used Laws during the formation of their Immortal Seal.

The existence of the Runes is above that of even the Universal Laws, not everyone knows this, but I know it....I can’t forget the teachings of Master.

He still remembered those words ringing clearly in his ears, "Everything you hear is an opinion, not the fact and everything you see is a perspective, not the truth. Everyone sees things differently, but if someone can peer deeper into everything surrounding them, they would see that all existence, the humans, the atoms, the air and even the laws themselves are made from uncountable amounts of tiny symbols that people call Runes. Runes are like the script of existence that creates everything, and that is why people have such uncontrollable greed towards it."

Thus, even the Laws themselves were something formed from Runes, it was only during the formation of the Immortal Seal that those unseen symbols becomes visible, allowing others to witness a fragment of what usually remained hidden beneath everything.

But I am really curious to know what kind of Law that person has comprehended to create a unique and never before seen phenomenon.

He had his own guesses, and what he believed was that because of the fusion of countless worlds and the formation of the Realm of Eden, some sort of mutation must have occurred, giving birth to a new Universal Law that no one had comprehended before, something that naturally resulted in such an unusual manifestation.

The creation and mutation of Universal Laws was a rare phenomenon, but not an impossible one, and with something as unimaginable as a new realm being born, the possibility could not be dismissed so easily.

What Perseus did not know at this moment was that sometimes too much knowledge becomes a curse that quietly leads everything astray without the anyone even realizing it.

The saying, ’Knowledge is a curse and ignorance is a bliss’, was not merely spoken for effect, it was a truth that revealed itself in subtle and dangerous ways.

Too much knowledge gave birth to misunderstanding, and misunderstanding had a way of twisting everything, it could break relationships that once felt unshakable, it could ignite wars over assumptions, it could make someone overlook the treasure right in front of them while chasing something that never truly existed, and it could turn confidence into blind certainty that refused to bend even when faced with reality.

When a person believed they understood enough, they often stopped looking deeper, and in that moment, their knowledge stopped growing and began to limit them instead, binding their thoughts within conclusions they had already accepted.

And sometimes, the more someone tries to explain the world through what they already knew, the further they drifted from the truth, mistaking familiarity for understanding and assumptions for reality, unaware that what they believed to be clarity was only a reflection of their own limits.
