Village Head's Debauchery-Chapter 1328: The Apex Of Divinity

Suddenly, the space beside them tore open, and Avarielle stepped through.

It sealed behind her.

She ignored the gazes directed at her and looked upward.

Instantly, her expression shifted to shock and disbelief. Her lips parted as she echoed, "True god..." The words resonated across the gathering.

None of them dared speak for fear of being mistaken, but as the aura solidified, they realised their suspicions were confirmed.

This time around, the women of Orion's household were all stunned.

Their husband had been promoted to the rank of true god.

Wasn't that the apex rank of strength? The goal even gods aspired to reach? They knew that once this entire phenomenon ended, Orion's strength would be unfathomable.

However, they hadn't realised he would suddenly rise to a true god.

While many were still stunned and unable to regulate their emotions appropriately, a few reined in their shock, realising the possible implications and becoming excited.

It wasn't only because of their husband's achievements but because this had been Orion's lifetime goal, the reason he had left home to explore dangerous locations with no guarantee of survival.

His fears were fueled by constant worry that someone stronger might come after them, and they wouldn't be able to resist.

Now, he would no longer have to go through all of that.

They also felt a sense of security because of it.

Suddenly, General Reynold's expression twisted into a frown as he received a message from the Mysteries of the Twelve-Step Stairs.

Then he suddenly sighed in relief for the umpteenth time.

Ilse, who was always keenly aware of the slightest details, swiftly picked up on it and asked, "What is it? Don't think about hiding anything from me."

"It's a message from Orion. They need Sylvalis to serve as a local boundary Will at the meeting point of both cosmic trees for the two Mysteries," General Reynold explained.

"Is that possible?" Margona asked with a raised brow. Her eyes were still reddened.

"It should be," General Reynold responded with furrowed brows.

At this moment, he doesn't know what is possible or impossible for Orion anymore. All he knew was that as long as there was a chance, then it wasn't impossible.

He turned to the side to gaze at Sylvalis, along with everyone else.

The message had also been delivered to her telepathically, so there was no need for him to speak. Serving as a boundary Will for the meeting point of the two Mysteries was no small task, so Orion had given her a choice.

So all of this depended on her.

Sensing everyone's gaze on her, Sylvalis clenched her fists together and nodded. "I will do it."

She turned towards Grace and said, "I'll be back soon, Grace." Her chubby face became serious.

Grace nodded with a similarly serious expression. They bumped their fists together.

Then Sylvalis vanished in a cascade of light.

Grace sighed, her expression becoming sad. She looked at her mother and hugged her tightly.

Meanwhile, Anara held Grace in confusion. She had thought Orion's ascension would cause Grace to ascend as before.

However, Grace was fine. She hadn't undergone even the slightest change.

She had asked Orion clones to watch over the kids before they explored the Spirit Realm and realised they could not communicate with him.

Given the event that had just transpired, she wasn't surprised. She realised she would have to wait for the real Orion to return.

Dariya, Saria, and Malaia, who stood beside her, also had worries in their eyes.

Above,

Orion handed over the process of establishing Sylvalis as the Will of the boundary as he tried to gain control of his newfound power.

A part of his body flickered around the edges of the cosmic tree.

Any slight misstep might cause him to fall and go through a situation similar to General Reynold's.

Fortunately, with Iyraith Zi'ria's help through the white flame armour, he was able to prevent the situation from becoming more chaotic. If not, he wasn't sure he would have reunited with his loved ones in one piece.

The cosmic storm and white flame reconverged within him. They flickered around him and began to slowly dissipate.

Soon, Orion had fully deactivated his gift.

He realised that his entire appearance had changed.

Hovering behind him was a bluish, fiery-white, bright-glowing halo. His eyes had transformed, now shimmering with tiny orbs as though stars and celestial bodies were carved within.

His hair flowed backwards like shooting stars arcing through the void, resembling that of an Omnithriallian.

The armour, which had also undergone a transformation, became akin to a divine mandate or even higher.

Orion realised that ascending into true god had awakened the recessive gene of his Omnithriallian heritage. Still, that didn't change the fact that he was human. His humanity was still holding strong.

"How are you feeling?" Iyraith Zi'ria asked.

"I feel better than before. I can also see, feel, and think more clearly," Orion responded. freёnovelkiss.com

The entire White Flame Cosmic tree was within his sight.

He could see the empty void before its existence, its creation, and its current structure. He could see the various changes that would emerge in the future, as though his vision was fast-forwarding to what could transpire.

He could also see the creation of the realms and the many worlds within them. Every molecule. Every atom. It was as though the knowledge of the White Flame Cosmic Tree was within his grasp.

It was as though he existed in all these locations at once, taking in this knowledge simultaneously.

However, Orion soon realised that this was omniscience and omnipresence. Lastly, the overwhelming power surging within him that made him feel as though he could destroy everything in seconds was omnipotence.

These three traits signified one's ascension into a true god.

Orion was sure: he had truly ascended to the apex of divinity.

"That's good. It means everything went as planned. Try suppressing your anomalous nature," Iyraith Zi'ria said.

Orion nodded. He focused inward, locating a faint source within his being, and cut off the flow of energy from it.

Instantly, his senses shifted. The tri-omni traits that once defined his divine nature were suppressed by an even greater authority.

Though the unfathomable power still lingered within him, he suddenly felt restricted—as if laws were laid out before him, demanding he preserve the stability of the entire cosmic structure.

He sensed that he could ignore these laws if he wished, but doing so would shake the White Flame Cosmic Tree and cause irreversible harm to the Material Realm Cosmic Tree.

'Was this why the Mysteries were created?' Orion wondered.

If there were consequences for breaking the foundational rules of cosmic stability, it made sense that the Mysteries had emerged to enforce them after repeated violations.

He wondered if this was how the Divine Mysteries managed to remove the gods from the Material Realm once they became true gods. He would have to investigate himself to find out why no true gods remained in the material realm.

The White Flame Cosmic Tree continued to expand. The rules and perceptions of the cosmic structure were constantly evolving, yet his awareness kept pace with them.

Still, the restrictions made Orion feel uncomfortable.

"You should continue to suppress your anomalous nature and grow accustomed to these sensations," Iyraith Zi'ria warned. "You could find yourself in a difficult situation if you unknowingly reveal your true nature in another cosmic structure."

"I understand. I'll work on it," Orion replied with a sigh.

"As I said before, I will leave a strand of my consciousness within you. That way, if you encounter any of your other ancestors, they will recognise our agreement and not harm you or the inhabitants of Paradise."

"Thank you, ancestor."

"That child will awaken and resume her role as the Will of the Boundary between the two Cosmic Trees once the Mysteries of the White Flame Cosmic Tree fully awaken. It shouldn't take long. You can also check on it yourself."

"Alright. I'll take care of it," Orion responded, his heart filled with turbulent emotions. It was hard to keep his composure as he sensed Iyraith Zi'ria's presence slowly disappearing.

The goal he had been pursuing was finally achieved, but the one responsible for it sacrificed herself to make it happen.

"That's good. Now that everything is complete, my time here has come to an end."

At the topmost branches of the White Flame Tree Cosmic Tree, Orion bowed deeply and said with reverence, "I promise to forever carve this moment into my heart."

"To have a descendant like you is a joy for any parent. Unfortunately, the rest of your kind have chosen their own paths, and I am no exception," Iyraith Zi'ria said with a soft sigh, her voice filled with emotion.

"If Naka succeeds in achieving his dreams, then I hope you fulfil yours as well. Otherwise, I will be disappointed that you failed to make proper use of the gift I've given you."

"I promise I won't disappoint you."
