Chapter 188. Akasha
I could ask anything. The moment I heard those words, my mind flooded with countless questions.
But if I were being honest about priorities, there was no need for deep deliberation—my first question was already decided.
“Tell me where my parents are located. Or rather, what dimension’s coordinates they’re in.”
In other words, I was asking for the location of where the Concept Divine Seats existed. My question hung in silence for a moment before a response came.
〚That question cannot be answered.〛
A rejection. I furrowed my brow slightly and pressed my lips together as I asked again.
“Why can’t you answer? Is it that you can’t reveal information about the Concept Divine Seats’ locations? Or are you restricted from telling me where my parents are?”
Even as my words grew slightly heated, Akasha responded with a calm voice and message, explaining the reason for the refusal.
〚Precisely speaking, the dimensional coordinates where the Concept Divine Seats exist do not actually exist, so I cannot answer. The space where the Concept Divine Seats reside is so fundamentally alien that it cannot even be described, which is why I cannot provide an answer.〛
At those words, I suppressed my surging emotions and nodded with a sigh. There was no helping it. I hadn’t expected this to be easily resolved anyway.
If the space of the Concept Divine Seats were known and unremarkable, their interference would have grown even greater, and by now most dimensions would either revere them in fear or be under their dominion.
As if to console me, or perhaps to show me a path forward, Akasha provided additional explanation.
〚As you know, all beings called Concept Divine Seats have achieved transcendence and been reborn as existences one dimension above. They exist within the Abyss, yet they do not exist within the Abyss.〛
“What do you mean by that?”
〚As you know, the Abyss can be broadly divided into four regions.〛
“You mean the distinction between the Lower Realm, Middle Realm, Upper Realm, and Abyss Realm?”
〚Correct. The Abyss is broadly divided and managed into those four regions. There are no other regions.〛
“Then what about the Concept Divine Seats?”
〚That is precisely why they are alien. They exist in a dimension above. To give an example: if the Abyss and all connected dimensions, or dimensions beyond it, were two-dimensional, then the space where they dwell is three-dimensional. They can exert influence, but cannot directly intervene or dominate in the two-dimensional world for that very reason. The moment one achieves transcendence, all beings must inevitably set foot in that world. It is a constraint that only The Creator, who stands above all laws and made this world, can escape.〛
The example made it clear. So that’s why the dimensional coordinates cannot be known.
“So two-dimensional beings cannot influence the three-dimensional? That’s why even the highest-ranking Divine Beings know nothing about the Concept Divine Seats, despite beings of that caliber existing?”
〚Correct. Three-dimensional beings can influence the two-dimensional, but the reverse is impossible. No matter how great or supreme a Divine Seat may be, it is impossible unless they achieve transcendence, create their own concept, and escape the laws.〛
I nodded. So the answer was that I couldn’t hear it. Which also meant the only way to save my parents was for me to become a Concept Divine Seat myself.
〚You need only complete the Concept: Sky. In fact, Shin Ju-ha, you are in an extremely advantageous position. You are at least several times ahead of what are called the sovereigns of the Abyss Realm itself. It seems you don’t yet fully understand what Uranus is—he was not a Concept Divine Seat, but an exceptional irregular who ascended beyond even that level. Moreover, the Concept: Sky suits you perfectly, so adapt well to it and continue to evolve it.〛
Concept: Sky. A concept symbolizing arrogance, grandeur, and infinite power.
‘Is there a connection with Authority: Arrogance, making them compatible?’
The sky embraces all. So perhaps I could also master conflicting forces? Originally my role was arrogance and chaos, but it might be possible.
Regardless, this wasn’t something to think about right now. I wanted to clear my mind of all the curiosities swirling within it.
Naturally, my next question connected to the previous conversation. It was also about the balance of the powers I possessed.
“I understand Uranus is a formidable being. But honestly, I think Lucifer and Solomon are superior. To be frank, just looking at the powers I have, the influence of those two beings is absolute.”
It wasn’t a properly formed question. It was more of a probing question, one that was ambiguous to answer precisely.
But Akasha understood exactly what I wanted and answered accordingly.
〚To give you the conclusion: when dividing the powers Shin Ju-ha possesses into three major categories, the greatest being among their true owners is the Demon God-Solomon.〛
I nodded. I had suspected as much. Even if I couldn’t properly use Uranus’s power, even if the Titan’s authority was formidable, it didn’t seem it would match Solomon’s might.
〚That is because the Demon God-Solomon is a Concept Divine Seat who possesses the Concept: Demon. Next would be Uranus, who stands just one step away from becoming a Concept Divine Seat, and finally Lucifer, the master of Pride among the Seven Sins.〛
“Explain further.”
〚First, Lucifer is somewhat unique. He accumulated enough mythology, karma, and power to reach the level of a Concept Divine Seat, yet he failed to achieve transcendence.〛
I tilted my head in confusion. Why? I knew Lucifer had fought against dozens of Divine Realms alone and nearly achieved victory. It was such an enormous war that it frequently appeared in ancient texts.
With that level of military might, shouldn’t he have become at least a Concept Divine Seat?
〚Because I possessed the Seven Sins.〛
My eyes narrowed naturally as my gaze shifted to the Authority: Pride displayed in my status window. The Seven Sins—Pride. So if I also possess this, does that mean I can never become a Concept Divine Seat?
〚No, sir. You haven’t grown solely through Pride, and you’re capable of creating even greater concepts, so there’s no issue. If anything, Lucifer was also on the verge of overcoming it.〛
“Then why didn’t he become a Concept Divine Seat?”
〚The Seven Sins are actually a power created by the Concept Divine Seat: The Primordial Serpent. Using another’s power—especially when a Concept Divine Seat retains partial control—transcendence through that power is impossible. Of course, Lucifer attempted to create a different concept, and he was on the verge of completely seizing control of Pride from the Concept Divine Seat: The Primordial Serpent.〛
“But he died?”
〚Misfortune. Just one more mountain to cross and he would have succeeded. But the Divine Realms, fearing his strength and Pride, united and killed him.〛
I nodded. Lucifer’s case aside, Uranus faced a similar fate. In fact, his situation was even more tragic. Just one more step—no, half a step—and he could have become a Concept Divine Seat.
〚To be precise, Cronus and Gaia killed him while he was in the midst of transcendence.〛
“Now that’s truly unfortunate.”
I would’ve ascended out of sheer indignation. If I were him, I’d haunt them as a ghost for eternity.
As such thoughts occupied my mind, I shifted my focus to the final entity—the one I was most curious about. An entity with no information available, whose legacy I couldn’t even begin to comprehend.
“What kind of being was the Demon God Solomon?”
〚…〛
The System fell silent for a moment before answering in a single sentence.
〚The greatest irregular among all creations.〛
“That’s quite the assessment.”
〚He deserves it. The madman achieved transcendence three times, after all.〛
I was startled by the first curse Akasha had ever uttered, but realizing the magnitude of such an existence, I couldn’t help but laugh bitterly. Three times? When even once is nearly impossible?
“Is that why he’s not in the third dimension?”
〚Correct. After achieving his second transcendence, he gained the ability to somewhat ignore the Creator’s constraints, so he returned to the second dimension. Though he had to place all that tremendous power and rank into his true body.〛
“So the power I’m inheriting is?”
〚To put it simply, he desired death and intended to pass all his power to a successor, but…〛
“It was impossible. Too great?”
〚Exactly. In fact, only someone of your caliber could achieve this level of inheritance. Even the Demon Kings of the Dark Magic Realm couldn’t digest mere dust scattered from fragments—not complete fragments like you—and ended up destroying themselves.〛
I swallowed hard. I was astonished. The fact that I had inherited power so tremendous that even Demon Kings couldn’t digest it.
Moreover, I was astounded that the power I obtained was merely the strength of an incarnation.
“So I haven’t even glimpsed the power of his true body yet.”
〚Correct. But eventually, you will inherit everything of Solomon. And naturally, you’ll be able to meet him then.〛
I nodded. But another question began to swirl in my mind.
Perhaps the most fundamental question of all.
〚Are you curious? About what kind of being you are?〛
“I am Shin Ju-ha.”
〚And you chose the Golden Tower, and were chosen by it.〛
The authority that granted the impossible miracle of regression. Strictly speaking, regression isn’t such a special power. Any god with temporal authority could rewind a single world’s time.
I myself adjusted time to enter the Tower of Ascension like this, didn’t I?
What I’m referring to is the time of all dimensions. Since time itself across every dimension, including the Abyss, was rewound, it can only be called an impossible miracle.
“What exactly is the Golden Tower? What gives it such impossible power, makes even Concept Divine Seats covet it with greed, and allows it to treat them like insects and attack them?”
〚A legacy.〛
“A legacy? The kind of legacy I know about? Like property left behind after death?”
〚Yes. The Golden Tower is a legacy. A legacy of countless ages, of countless cycles, and of countless regrets. And…it is also the legacy of the great Creator.〛
The Creator. I do not know who that being is. Yet they often appear in ancient texts. Briefly.
The primordial existence that created all dimensions and all life. A being far greater than those commonly called Creator Deities. No, an existence that even the Concept Divine Seats cannot look up to in reverence.
〚The starting point of all things. The Golden Tower is the dormant power of their will. Simultaneously, it is the legacy left behind by the world they created through countless cycles.〛
“Wait, what do you mean by that?”
〚Correct. The current cycle in which Shin Ju-ha exists is precisely the 497,369th. They continue to repeat all of this endlessly. And in this cycle, for the first time, the power imbued with their will has been revealed to the world. The end has arrived.〛
And I am the one who possesses that will.
The Golden Goblin dwelling in my consciousness comes to mind. There was no time to stop it. I could not have stopped it anyway. As the Heavenly Demon Territory and martial arts manifested automatically once more, the authority’s consciousness revealed itself again.
No—the Creator’s consciousness revealed itself.
〚I understand. Let us end this discussion here. Now, the time for questions is over.〛
And the Akasha Record concluded the dialogue.
