392 Nascent Infiniteness Insigh (1/2)

Within Konrad's mind, a multitude of forces emerged, connected in a radiant chart of all colors imaginable and unimaginable within existence. Those star-shaped forces were nothing less than the Laws!

All Base Laws appeared!

All Higher Laws followed!

All Primal Laws joined the fray!

Thus, within Konrad's mind, the complete chart of Laws now stood like a constellation. Konrad bound them all, forcing them to show the way toward their origin, that one source they heralded from. The process didn't take ten-thousand years. It was a single moment determining whether the candidate had what it took to see through the veil of the Supreme Principles.

In success, the new road opened. In failure, it closed for good! However, before Konrad's pressure, open it did!

Bright light erupted from all the laws, connecting them all in a single dot where a new realm lied. A new realm of knowledge, force, and understanding all bound in one principle:

The principle of Infiniteness!

And in that instant, Konrad achieved Nascent Understanding in Infiniteness, thereby taking another step toward Supremacy! Sensing the change, the monk nodded in approval.

But Konrad's eyes didn't open. Instead, building on his new understanding and Transcendental Powers, he opened the door he desperately sought, the path toward the formation of his own Cultivation Bridge!

As he did, the peaceful realm was disturbed by the garish descent of Tribulation Clouds! Those Tribulation Clouds didn't stem from any Realm Will, but from the Omniverse itself!

”Though the steps differ, all True Bridges begin here.”

The monk stated, more for himself than Konrad who could no longer hear him.

”Suffer Ten Thousand Tribulations, go through all your incarnations and return to your origin, the life that saw your appearance in the omniverse, your emergence from nothingness. If you can endure all incarnations, and extricate yourself from your very own samsara, then you have the right to form your bridge.”

The monk declared, and as if to back his words, a lightning bolt erupted from the Tribulation Clouds to slam Konrad where he stood! That cloud didn't target his body or soul, but the very principles of his existence and samsara!

Once it struck, Konrad's appearance changed, going from his transcendental looks to an above average man with short black hairs. His previous incarnation, a life he now knew nothing of. In a flash, Konrad relived the decades of that existence, enduring all it implied before another lightning bolt struck to send him into the previous one. And so, it went on, ten, one hundred, one thousand incarnations.

And in every single one them, there was one thing that he never lost:

The golden rod!

Shockingly, it always followed, accompanying him throughout all incarnations. Most of these had little impact, and Konrad could effortlessly extricate himself from them. However, when he reached the six-thousandth, it became a completely different story where destruction lied at every turn!

In this incarnation, Konrad sank deep, too deep and threatened to lose himself for good! His eyes and hairs became a bright gold that outshined the sun while his ancient clothing embodied imperial dignity.

In that life, his first life, Konrad could finally see the root of that ability the System's Owner dubbed ”insignificant.”
