Chapter 1710: A Meeting Between Universes (7)
“The Infinite Metaplane…”
Hearing that term leave Eve’s mouth, both Odin and Mimir looked at each other for a bit as various thoughts began to surface within their minds.
“I think… I get what you’re trying to tell us,” said Odin, a slight frown adorning his face the moment he had reached his conclusion. “If my suspicions are correct, then you’re telling us that Mythos might have…?”
“Ascended to a higher plane?” said Eve after seeing the old man hesitate just as he was finishing his question. “I could come up with a few possible reasons for his disappearance, but ascending to the Infinite Metaplane is the most likely one out of all of them.”
“What is the Infinite Metaplane, if you don’t mind us asking?” Spending some time to get over the shock he felt from Eve’s words, Mimir let out a soft exhale as he gave her an inquisitive look.
Noting that the same expression appeared on Odin’s face just as his companion asked the question, Eve remained silent for a bit before looking at Adam.
’You think we should tell them about it?’ she asked, sending her question to him through strands of energy. ’After all, what I might talk about next is the same thing I stopped you from discussing earlier.’
Adam merely shrugged at the question. ’That’s entirely up to you, Eve.’
’I understand why you stopped me earlier since we were merely sharing the similarities between our realms of existence.’
’However…’ Mulling over the question for a bit more, the man eventually gave her his opinion on the matter.
’From the looks they’re giving you, as well as the information they’ve shared with us just now, I do think it’d be better to share some bits of information about it with them.’
’Of course, how much of that information you wish to share with them is entirely up to you,’ the man said at the end, informing her that he did not have anything to do with what might happen next.
Giving Adam a faint smile of amusement in response, Eve eventually returned her attention back to Odin and Mimir, inwardly taking in a deep breath as she sorted out the thoughts in her mind.
“If you want the simplest answer to your question, then the Infinite Metaplane is the plane where all universes, including our universes, reside,” she told them. “Though, I have a feeling that’s not the reason why you asked that question.”
The two old men faintly nodded at those words.
Nodding in return, Eve gave them a slight smile. “Since that’s the case, let me share a bit of information first. Having that information would lead to less questions later on.”
Receiving nods from the two once more, the woman prefaced her explanation by asking them a question. “Remember the sole difference between the Primordials and the Celestial Ancestors?”
“The comprehension,” replied Odin after giving it a bit of thought. “Unlike Celestial Ancestors, whose comprehension would need to rival that of an entire universe, Primordials do not need to reach that level in order to achieve the same feats.”
“Correct,” said Eve, nodding in agreement. “I’m sure the two of you recall Adam mentioning this earlier, so let me just continue where he left off.”
“Though Primordials do not have the same level of comprehension as Celestial Ancestors, the natural progression of strength would eventually lead Primordials in reaching the same outcome.”
As those words left her mouth, Eve had a calm expression on her face. “If a Primordial were to comprehend a concept that could rival an entire universe, they would not be recognized as a Primordial anymore.”
“Instead, they would be recognized as an Ascendant.”
“Ascendant…” muttered Odin and Mimir after hearing the term, only to then realize something not long after. “Wait… does that mean all Celestial Ancestors are Ascendants?”
“In terms of comprehension, yes.” Eve nodded, which unsurprisingly made the two old men feel a sense of pride.
“However…”
The woman turned to look at Odin with a slightly raised eyebrow. “Are you able to access the fourth dimension?”
“The fourth dimension?” asked the latter in slight confusion before shaking his head. “If I imagine it to be what I think it is, then I cannot.”
“And that’s precisely why a Primordial with that level of comprehension is classified differently here,” said Eve in response. “That’s because they could use that comprehension to shift to higher dimensions.”
Hearing those words, a look of interest and curiosity gradually appeared on Odin’s face.
After all, from what Eve had said to him, he technically had the ability to shift to higher dimensions since the concept he comprehended could already rival against an entire universe.
Unfortunately, just as he was about to attempt shifting to a higher dimension, a barrier made out of various energies covered him all of a sudden, forcing the old man to stop in his tracks.
“…Ah.” At first, a slight frown appeared on Odin’s face as he thought about how his road to becoming stronger had been blocked out of nowhere.
Though, after remembering that he and Mimir were currently in a different universe, the old man slowly calmed down, eventually giving the three Administrators a slightly apologetic look.
“My apologies.”
“No worries.” Eve gave him a reassuring look. “The only reason why we stopped you from shifting was because your body wouldn’t be able to withstand the numerous forces that would act upon you the moment you shift.”
“If you decided to shift to a higher dimension without having enough strength or without making enough preparations, then you would most likely end up dead without even being able to send out a signal for help.”
Hearing those words, Odin could not help but shudder in fear.
Whoosh!
Dispelling the barrier that surrounded Odin just now, Eve continued where she left off. “Once a Primordial becomes an Ascendant, it wouldn’t be surprising for them to only be able to access the fourth dimension at first.”
“That’s because the highest dimension one could shift as an Ascendant is entirely dependent on the strength of the concept they wield.”
“As far as we know, the highest dimension an Ascendant could reach is the ninth dimension,” she said. “At that point, the concept they wield would be able to rival thousands of universes without much issue.”
“…But what if one were to push their concepts even further?”
