Neo concentrated.
He kept using the Void to corrupt the Concept.
It was dangerous.
If his Concept was not turned into a new form of energy and was just corrupted until it was erased, would he lose it permanently?
He did not know the answer to the question.
Nevertheless, he did not use a mimicked Concept for this task.
Why?
Because Neo felt that there was a limit to how many new types of energy and Consciousnesses he could create.
It was something of the sorts that ‘in this rank you could only create a this number of energies and Consciousness.’
Neo had expected it.
After all, if he could keep creating Consciousnesses and energies, then he would become the strongest without even ranking up.
What he understood was, his own Consciousness grew stronger when he created more Consciousness, but there was a limit.
When he reached the limit, he needed to refine his Consciousness, which would trigger some sort of breakthrough, and allow him to make more Consciousnesses.
Seconds turned into minutes, and minutes turned into hours while he was busy turning his Concept into a new energy type with Consciousness.
“Finally, it’s done.”
He wiped the sweat and focused on the mass of red energy floating in his soul.
A smile appeared on Neo’s face.
He could feel it had Consciousness.
“Let’s name you Eternal Death Firmament since you are created by Eternal Death Concept.”
He expected the Eternal Death Firmament to jump with joy.
Even the Death Sword Firmament came running when it sensed the birth of a new sibling.
The dark lightning crackled around the red mass of energy.
However, there was no reaction from Eternal Death Firmament.
It took Neo a moment to realize what was happening.
“…Is it sleeping?”
He could not yet enter the Cosmos himself, so he had to ask Death Sword Firmament for help and wake up Eternal Death Firmament.
Death Sword Firmament nudged it.
But there was no sign that it was going to wake up.
“So it’s going to keep sleeping since it’s made from Eternal Death?” Neo was exasperated.
Celestra and Velkaria arrived near Eternal Death Firmament.
They had seen Death Sword Firmament leave in a hurry, and followed it.
Neo ordered Death Sword Firmament to keep them away from Eternal Death Firmament.
Unlike Death Sword Firmament, Eternal Death Firmament could harm Celestra and Velkaria if they were not careful.
Death Sword Firmament was energy with Consciousness. It had to be combined with Death Sword technique to become harmful.
In other words, it was incomplete by itself.
Eternal Death Firmament was different. It was created from energy of Concept, and it did not need a technique to be used.
It was complete by itself.
Even now, if anyone touched it, Eternal Death Firmament would put them to sleep for thousands of years or eternity, depending on how weak they were compared to Eternal Death Firmament.
Eternal Death Firmament might be asleep but it was extremely dangerous.
“This makes me wonder, how strong are you guys? And how is your strength affected?”
Death Sword Firmament was created from Stage -3 Death Sword.
Eternal Death was created from Death Element Concept.
What was it that made them stronger or weaker compared to each other?
And how would they grow stronger?
Death Sword technique could be turned into Stage-4 technique, which might strengthen Death Sword Firmament.
But Eternal Death Firmament?
It was a Concept. It was something that was as is. There was no way the Concept could be strengthened except for putting more energy into it, which would just lengthen the sleep.
Domain, Sanctuary, and World were not exactly upgraded forms of Eternal Death Concept.
They were implementation of a Concept into surroundings, and not an upgrade.
“While it can be argued Concepts are upgraded into Domain, Sanctuary, that World that doesn’t change my situation.”
It was similar to the difference in Intent Sword and Death Sword.
He could give Consciousness to Intent Sword, and make it Intent Sword Firmament.
But when Intent Sword evolved into Death Sword, it would not make Intent Sword Firmament stronger.
Intent Sword Firmament and Death Sword Firmament were different.
However, if he could amp up Stage -1 Intent Sword into Stage -2 Intent Sword without evolving it into Death Sword, like he did with Stage-2 Death Sword by turning it into Stage-3, he could theoretically make Intent Sword Firmament stronger.
“With madness already dancing inside my head, all this thinking is giving me a headache, but….”
He needed to develop his abilities if he wanted to defeat Tartarus and subdue the Great Disasters.
Devouring others wasn’t enough.
Just like how dragon clan leaders could not defeat Protectors even if they worked together, Protectors wouldn’t be enough to defeat a single Great Disaster if they worked together.
“How am I supposed to strengthen the Firmaments?” he asked, having decided to name all his Consciousness as Firmament.
[Question detected.]
[Searching for answers…]
[Answer found.]
[Would you like to use one slot of Primogenitor for the question and its answer?]
“Yes.”
[Question: How am I supposed to strengthen the Firmaments, and grow?]
[Answer: There is no set path of growth for Heavenbreakers. They are ‘said’ to rank up when they cross some thresholds, but that is not what actually happens.
Each Heavenbreaker creates their own Path of Ascension that they progress upon.
Trying to fit them into the ranking system of Gods and Awakeners is wrong, as while Heavenbreakers’ existence level is low (like Stage 1 or Stage 2), they can still do things that only high existence level beings can do (such as Stage 7, or Stage 8).
To answer your question, you need to find and create your own Path of Ascension.
As an example, the First Heavenbreaker, Ultris, created the Awakener Path of Ascension.
And since he was a fucking douchebag, he had his first love with a lot of women.
His children ended up being able to use Awakener Path of Ascension – Traits – and since there were a lot of them, their genes only continued to spread, and now many races, if not most, have Traits.]
Neo blinked.
Was it him or did his skill seem to have something against Ultris, the First Heavenbreaker?
As if the Primogenitor skill read his thoughts, it realized it had been blabbering about wrong things, and returned to the topic.
[There is no fixed way to strengthen your Firmaments.
Since your Firmaments are individual Consciousness, you can let them grow like planets – they will create a Sacred Treasure after eons, and use them to rank up.
But this method is incredibly slow, and even if it wasn’t, it is not recommended, as it was not ‘your’ Path of Ascension.
It is recommended that you create your Path of Ascension by yourself, and not ask it from Primogenitor.. Only when you create it by yourself would the Path of Ascension be yours and yours alone.
Of course, Primogenitor can still give advice if you want.]
“This….”
Neo frowned.
“Primogenitor seems really adamant that I should create my own power system. Is there any benefit to it?”
Neo decided to keep the information in his mind.
He already had an idea of how to level up his Firmaments.
If everything went correctly, he would succeed in creating an entirely new Path of Ascension.
“Still, to think each Heavenbreaker needs to create their own Path of Ascension (power system)…
“I thought becoming Heavenbreaker was the hardest step, since it needed one to have a Consciousness strong enough to create World Energy.
“But creating a new power system is on an entirely different scale in terms of difficulty.”
Neo shook his head.
Even gods and Supremes followed the pre-created Path of Ascension.
But he had to make one for himself.
“Wonderful, my life just keeps going from shit to shitter.”
