Chapter 344 The Infinite Realms
Within the Infinite Void, a beam of light was traveling at a very fast pace, breaking through the common sense of speed as it blitzed past galaxies in a flash.
And within the beam of light that looked insignificant compared to the vast cosmos, two young man sat crossed legged above the giant discus and began conversing with each other.
"You don't seem impressed." Allen smiled as he saw Enigma's expression, one that looked at the flashing beauty of the Universe with an uninterested vibe around him.
"I've seen quite a few of this." Enigma casually responded. As true gods, things like traversing galaxies was not uncommon. Just that, this was the first time he went out by himself without Hestia.
"Hahaha, figures I guess." Allen jovially laughed, took out a bottle of whine, and took a mouthful from it. He seemed to like drinking recently, which fit his early twenties appearance.
"So, I guess that you also know about the structure of the Infinite Realms?" He asked after another sip, looking at Enigma's expression.
"...."
Enigma shook his head as he didn't learn about any of this back at home. No, they didn't teach them at all. Learning about it themselves was part of the trial.
"In that case, let me brief you up on what I found out." Allen smiled at Enigma and began talking about the Infinite Realms. He seemed to like the fact that he knew more than Enigma.
So, in simple terms.
The Infinite Realms were vast and huge, considered being endless even to Origin and Transcendental beings. It was so large, it could contain countless numbers of said beings.
Such a place was filled to the brim with stars, planets and other celestial systems that can never be found within Planets such as nebulae, black holes, white holes and such.
But that was only in Unique place, as for the mainstream areas, the Universe was covered in Planets and Stars. Some suitable, and some not suitable for life.
Planets had their rating system and hierarchy here as well, a clear difference to the Nine World Dimension, where there were Greater Worlds, Encompassing large areas.
Now first would be Planes, the lowest rated Heavenly Body, with population between one hundred million to one billion residents, as well as Essence around the Advanced Realm.
Meaning that any beings beyond the level of strength would be targeted by the world and have their stats reduced and being sealed to match the planet's level.
Second on the list were Small Planets, being able to carry five to ten billion residents, along with Essence around the Grand Master Realm. Such Planets also have a Will of their own, though weak.
Then next would be Large Planets, being larger than Small Planets, as well as having a population of around fifty billion residents. It's Essence also allowed for Saints to be born within it.
It's Will was considered stable, enough to manage the laws of its world, but not enough to give it awareness of its insignificance throughout the vast void.
Then fouth would be Prime Planets, the highest level among the Planets, with a population of almost, or slightly beyond a hundred billion. It's Essence could also allow for there to be Deities, known as gods.
The reason being that it's Will was stronger enough to delegate roles to its people to become "gods" within the said world, ruling over it's laws alongside itself.
Then for the ratings beyond the Planets, would be Realms. Not that there were no Realms that were in the form of Planets, but that there were so large, it was better to not call them as such.
The lowest was considered a Lesser Realm, being able to encompass an entire Galaxy, or a World with at least more than a quadrillion beings staying within.
It's Essence were also around the High Outer Realm, allowing for the strongest being to become a High Outer being within.
It's Will was also strong enough to share the laws of it's influence (True Laws) with the beings of its range. And most importantly, each Realm had a specific unique feature other realms did not have.
Such features could be unique Cultivation methods, Systems to help its residence climb up faster, Power systems Unique to itself, resources that help its residents or such.
Each characteristic being unique to its Realm, thus making them develop greater than the so called Planets and Dimensions below them.
And Above those were Greater Realms, Encompassing an entire Universe by itself with its range of influence. The population could no more be rated in numbers lightly as it was made up of countless Planets within its range of influence.
Their Essence also allowed for there to be one Elder Being who stood at the peak of everyone, acting as a gaurdian for the whole Realm, with the power of being Absolute (Absolute Leveled True Laws).
It's Will also had the power to share its laws (all levels of True Laws) with its residents. A good example would be the Nine World Dimension, with its numerous Greater Realms within.
They also had their unique functions as well. The ones for the Nine Worlds being that anyone with potential, even the weakest of them, could become Gods in due time.
In other words, there was no such thing as a bottleneck for them. A clear example would be how there are almost ten Supreme beings within each Greater World.
And lastly, the Zenith Realms, not much is known about them as there is no sign of one even within the vast void lately.
But rumor has it that such a world Encompasses a Reality at minimum, and has enough Essence to bring about multiple Supreme beings and a few Creators, as well as something beyond that.
There was also a thing called "True Authority", which gave one direct control over the Existential Laws, being able to shape any element or law related to his Laws at will, as long as they are not Existential Laws as well.
Unfortunately, all of these are rumors as of yet, because no such thing has been found throughout the current Realities. Even among the True Gods, but... it was unknown whether the Palaces were such Realms because each Palace represented an entire True Universe.
All of them together representing a vast True Multiverse. As for their special affects, like he said, he wasn't sure if they were Zenith Realms to begin with.
"...Hey dude, I just had a terrifying thought." Enigma suddenly frowned when Allen finished explaining all about the Infinite Realms, and was about to go change topics.
Allen smiled then took another gulp from his bottle, "I know what you are thinking. The current Nine Worlds are Greater Realms, and during the past, there was only one world there."
He took another gulp from his bottle and seemed like he was enjoying himself. Then he added, "...Then doesn't that mean that the world before the creation of the Nine Worlds, the world which was split apart..."
"...Is a Zenith Realm." Enigma bitterly smiled as he was once again reminded of the power that is far greater than the current one he has. Both his past and future are way stronger than him.
"Indeed." Allen laughed jovially, and took out another bottle, pushing it towards Enigma who didn't refuse, then he added once again, "Which is why, I think you should take this opportunity to grow."
"I agree with you on that one." Enigma agreed, not telling Allen that he was already on it with his other six Paths, which are spread throughout Great Terra.
"Since we are still far from the place, let's play a game of chess." Allen proposed, manifesting a small box before them.
"Chess?" Enigma looked at the now carefree Allen, wondering whether the pressure of the future was there.
"Yeah. Don't worry about the future, it's still too far away from now." Allen said as he began sorting out the chess pieces, and telling Enigma the rules. There was still more than 300 years till that time.
"If you say so." And just like that, two beings travelled through the void of space at the speed far faster than the speed of light, close to being Immeasurable even.

Great Aarde
Abyssal Realm, the 111st Floor
Palace of the Abyssal Lord
Given kept moving up and down throughout the hallway, seemingly anxious about something, making it hard to calm down.
"Great Ancestor, please calm down." A young man tried to calm him down. The young man had tanned skin and a fairly feminine charm, making him look quite cute and charming.
"Yes, it's not like Lady Yue is giving birth already, she is only stabilizing the power the little brat can't contain." Another young man also added, being pale white and extremely handsome.
These two were the sons of the Abyssal Lord, the Grand Incubi King who had created the Abyss and Hell and ruled them since the creation of this world, as well as the evil side of the Creator of this World according to myth.
As for Given? He was considered the father of said being, thus the grandfather of the two Supreme beings who stood before him, one being the Lord of Hell and the other the current Abyssal King.
"...I guess you guys are right." Givens, who was convinced of his relation with these beings finally calmed down and leaned on the wall, to further stabilize his breathing.
Why was he panicking?
Short story short, the so called friend with benefits had fallen for him, just as he had for her, thus leading to a materilization of their said love in the form of... a child.
Yue was indeed pregnant, and since she was just a Hero King, she was still considered a mortal, meaning that she got impregnated by a God. A very bothersome situation.
Heroes were still mortals and were not like Demigods or Deities, thus making it hard for them to create beings out of themselves or give birth asexually.
Anyway, Yue had been pregnant for five years now, and the baby inside her was getting stronger and stronger by the day, making it hard for her to do anything else.
So, she was brought here and was being taken care off by one of his grand daughters, the Lord of Heaven, who was stabilizing the unstable Heinous power from the child.
He couldn't calm down because he didn't want to lose any of them, that would just be horrible. Luckily, everything was fine and he was told that the child would be born two to three years from now.
This made Givens happy, unfortunately the time was far too short, because Givens, had no idea on how to be a father. He was not prepared for this!! He had no literal clue about how he was going to be both a father, and a husband.
'This... seems like a troublesome job for me.' He sighed, yet deep down, he was expectant of the experience itself. He was looking forward to it.
