Myriad Devils-Chapter 230: The cosmic structure

The Overlords had overseen the ceremony, and only after he greeted the last three otherworldly figures did the Human generals realize that they had already disappeared.

However, before they disappeared, one Overlord, shrouded in fog, whispered. This was a whisper that Anon heard loudly; however, no one else seemed to hear.

"Our Saintess hath desired this One to convey her congratulations unto thee," a voice crafted for the fairest of beings echoed in Anon’s ears, "My kin await with patience the coming of humanity’s young lord."

His expression remained unchanged; however, he was internally doubtful.

This Overlord must understand that he could not see who they were, nor did he know who their people were, nor of this Saintess.

Once the Overlords disappeared, it was only right that the rest retreated into the cosmic space.

This was a unique event; however, more than ninety percent of the Human generals were on missions, and only appeared due to the Human Lord’s summons. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

There were even some Human generals who simply could not present themselves. Wherever they were in the vast Cosmic Space, their situation was likely unspeakably deplorable.

Even the Human generals from Earth retreated into the Cosmic Space. Only their avatars would be left behind to oversee one of the six cities on Earth.

The otherworldly army also began assisting the mortal army in their departure from the Heaven’s Edge Domain, preparing to leave Earth some time after as well.

Now, only a father and a son remained, standing in the void of space.

Anon’s vertical third eye was rarely opened. When closed, it appeared no different than a divine tattoo marking etched onto his skin.

However, he opened it.

The golden halo above his head began spinning.

His perception spread.

The first thing to be enveloped was Earth in its entirety. From the Heaven’s Edge Domain, to the rest of the Lost Lands, and the Victorious Fighting Country, he could ’see’ everything.

For mortals, the sixth sense was still dormant, but an unfathomable soul had already developed this sixth sense to maturity.

Anon was the only otherworldly creature to have an abstract soul as a mere otherworldly knight, so he had already developed a seventh sense as well.

His sixth sense was an enhanced perception of space and time. It allowed his perception to traverse great distances and visualize events actively occurring in a space a vast distance away.

This was only the sixth sense, but one must understand that, in the cosmic space, a weak sixth sense was detrimental to one’s survival.

With a weak sixth sense, one might be slain without ever knowing how or when.

His perception quickly spread out like a tidal ocean, swallowing the hundred and eight stars that made up the earth’s skies.

Some of these stars were ruined, shattered, and half-destroyed. However, there were also more than one star that had lifeforms maneuvering through it.

These weren’t mortals, naturally, but otherworldly knights.

He did not need to make deductions.

Instead, the Principle of Destiny deduced many things for him, and quickly, he understood the origin of these otherworldly knights.

Interestingly, more than seventy percent of them did not originate from Earth.

Many of these stars were the birthplace of unique lifeforms that once threatened Earth, in the very beginning of the apocalypse.

These stars were the battlefields of the Supreme Commander, the Human Generals, and many other legendary figures from Earth.

Now, it was a hunting ground containing numerous treasures that many otherworldly knights sought to venture into.

Though an otherworldly knight himself, Anon had already deduced the location and information of a multitude of cosmic treasures located on these stars, but he was not the slightest bit amused.

His perception continued to unfold.

An unfathomable soul was immensely powerful, and at times, it could even perceive the investigations from the perceptions that originated from astral souls; however, the most sensitive otherworldly knights only felt an inexplicable chill when Anon’s perception washed over them.

Maybe, only the more developed, unfathomable souls of a Realm Father could perceive his astral soul.

The very nature of his astral soul was uniquely different from others.

This fact was not unprecedented in and of itself; however, an otherworldly knight with an abstract soul was indeed very unprecedented.

One must understand that not every Dimension Lord necessarily gave birth to one!

Yet, Anon had been reborn into an otherworldly creature with his soul already nurtured into an abstract soul.

Many Dimension Lords would sigh with envy, or curse in disbelief and unwillingness.

The hundred and eight stars surrounded Earth, forming a star system that held Earth as its core.

Beyond this star system, Anon’s perception visualized more than just one; however, separating the nearest star system from Earth was a distance of trillions of miles.

Within these trillions of miles was a dark, empty void, and at most, one would only locate residual cosmic energies, cosmic debris, or cosmic storms.

To a mortal, this distance was immeasurable.

A single light-year was almost six trillion miles, and the nearest star system was over four light-years away.

Even for Dimension Lords, it would take four years to traverse this distance if they chose to remain within the cosmic limitations.

However, such a distance was not at all daunting to otherworldly creatures. Any one otherworldly creature was an entity with eternity at their side.

At least, history was yet to record an otherworldly creature aging through natural means, much less dying from naturally expiring their longevity.

Distance was only vast when it took time to cross, but when time was meaningless, distance also became meaningless.

Anon’s speed was much faster than the average Realm Father, much less otherworldly knights.

He was completely unbothered by this distance, and instead, his perception continued to spread.

The speed of his perception was not constrained within the cosmic limits. A moment after, his perception swallowed over a hundred star systems, and then two hundred...

Once his perception reached its limits, Anon was able to visualize a thousand star systems, with each star system containing a systematic cosmic order; they were actually part of a greater order that formed a star field.

At the center of the star field was a planet several tens of thousands of times larger than Earth.

Though this was the case, making it so that its gravity was umpteenth times greater than Earth’s, it was unable to distort Time at a greater level than Earth.

Earth was, after all, a Holy Land.

A single day on Earth was actually more than three hundred and fifty years in the cosmic space.

Anon was able to investigate the happenings of each planet situated in the center of a thousand star systems; however, a force similar to Earth’s pulse was the first to resist the descent of his perception.

He could not sweep that planet and investigate the happenings within.

"Such forces did not work on me before..." Anon was intrigued.

"Your existence is rather fascinating. An otherworldly knight with an astral soul..." Aegon pinched his chin and observed his son with interest.

"With only a First Level willpower, your perception can sweep over an entire star field. Well, with an astral soul, your willpower will face little obstruction; at least, until achieving the Third Level, but by then, your perception might be capable of covering an entire Minor region."

The Supreme Commander rarely showed emotion, but his eyes currently revealed a plethora of them.

"A Minor region?" Anon was only confused for a moment. As the Principle of Destiny continued to be enlightened within his existence, its nature grew ever more complex.

He came to understand many things at an increasingly faster rate.

A life planet was the core of a star system, and a thousand life planets made up a star field. A thousand thousand star fields made up a Minor region.

A thousand thousand was a more humble way of expressing a million.

Innumerable Minor regions made up a Major region, and anywhere from 10,081 to 129,600 Major regions established a Prime region.

The cosmic space was simply too vast.

The Human Domain spanned an entire Archaic region, and it still fought for another.

The war for Cosmic Providence was unending!

A star field was as insignificant as a Minor region; however, this star field consisted of the Holy Land, Earth.

Aegon smiled, "You seem quite knowledgeable."

The glimmer in Anon’s eyes turned a shade darker. His father’s words basically confirmed a doubt that he had only recently thought of.

The seventh sense allowed unfathomable souls to read emotions, intentions, and even thoughts of mortal souls, and an abstract soul could completely see through a mortal’s soul and perceive the emotions and surface thoughts of an unfathomable soul.

There were unfathomable souls, abstract souls, and paradisical souls, but his father’s gaze seemed to completely see through his very essence.

It made Anon wonder if there were souls beyond the paradisical level; however, it basically meant that his father could completely see through him.

"Are you going to allow others to spy on your dearest son?" Anon sarcastically assumed a weak and pitiful appearance.

Such an appearance was actually capable of twisting any heart with discomfort.

Even an unfathomable soul might not be capable of resisting the desire to embrace him and ease his sorrows.

However, much less something beyond a paradisical soul, an abstract soul was on an equivalent status to Anon’s soul, and would likely be capable of resisting this desire as well.

So his father remained unaffected by his actions.
