As the details of the [Architect of the Dao] had listed, there were boons to the one birthing the dao when it affected an entire Universe, and when it even affected an entire Cosmos!

Beings that reached the level of Universal Realm and wanted to proceed forward would find it an impossible task, but the pioneers of this stage found that when they birthed and created Daos that the myriad of creatures within their Cosmos could utilize, the path forward was actually opened.

​​

Valentina was among the few Universal Hegemonies that had begun on this path, so she knew more than others on the secrets the beings who were capable of influencing an entire Universe with a Dao could come across!

She knew these secrets...and it was why her emotions turned turbulent and in utter shock when she saw something that could only happen to the most powerful of the Universal Realm Hegemonies...begin to occur on the body of the being on the Galactic Filament Realm that she watched on her golden mirror.

In front of Noah's body that shot out brilliant beams of light, a formation of thin golden lines formed into a Runic Mark- a mark that released a light of ancientness and profound majesty!

The runic mark signified a single word, a word that Valentina knew and had seen for herself multiple times- {ANTIQUITY}!

Antiquity!

More and more of these marks continued to condense in front of Noah as time passed, these marks freely floating and disappearing into his body as the light he released emanated out with even more grandeur.

"Marks of Antiquity!"

…!

The chair that Valentina was on fell as her blessed body shook, the eyes of this being that had lived for hundreds of thousands of years finding themselves staring forward at a loss!

She actually saw the formation of the Marks of Antiquity- something that only the most powerful Universal Hegemonies obtained after they influenced a universe or multiple of them with their Daos and Power.

These Marks of Antiquity held immense power as they were what one had to utilize if they wanted to advance further in the Universal Realm and proceed to the rare Realms that no known being had achieved within the Primordial Cosmos- the Realms that similar to the titles of Sages, Great Sages, Monarchs, and Paragons- they were given their own title for those making their way forward!

After gaining an understanding of the Marks of Antiquity, the Universal Hegemonies of the Primordial Cosmos titled those who could exceed the power of the Universal Realm and find a way forward to be called beings at the stage of...NIRVANIC ANTIQUITY.

Nirvanic Antiquity!

In the Realm of the Galactic Filament, you had Great Sages, Monarchs, and Paragons included in it as each of these titles held vastly different power.

Within the Universal Realm, those distinguishing themselves and proceeding forward underwent Nirvanic Antiquity, forging the path that no known beings had managed to step on! They tried to do the insurmountably hard and impossible task of forming...UNIVERSAL FILAMENTS as the ultimate goal of all Universal Hegemonies was to form a COSMOS!

The secrets to all of these lay in the Marks of Antiquity.

Those that had transformed their Origin by over 50% while utilizing the Marks of Antiquity became established existences that were called an Antiquity!

But...such a thing was reserved for Universal Hegemonies! One could only be capable of doing it as a Universal Hegemony! So why was a being in the Galactic Filament Realm forming Marks of Antiquity?!

Valentina's body shook as she knew the answer.

"His birthed Dao has gone on to influence an entire Universe…!"

…!

Shock on top of shock as even she could not believe her own words.

She could only watch in a stupor as more and more Marks of Antiquity formed in front of Noah every second, their formation going from 1 or 2 to tens every second, to eventually hundreds of Marks every second!

The legs of this Universal Realm Hegemony gave out as she fell on her knees the moment that she saw the formation of thousands of Marks of Antiquity after every second passed!

The Golden Crow Paragon, Valentina, came to aid her master as she had a distraught expression, trying to shake her out of her daze while asking what happened.

Yet the dazed eyes of the Universal Hegemony turned inward as they searched within her Origin, taking a look at the numbers of Marks of Antiquity that she had collected over the last tens of thousands of years.

1,153,926.

With blood, sweat, and tears, she had collected barely a million after all these years.

Yet the being in front of her...he was already condensing thousands every second as he was about to shatter any known common sense that Universal Hegemonies held when it came to something only they could access!

RUMBLE!

---

Around Noah, an air of oldness and antiquity continued to emulate out as around him, the formation of ancient golden marks continued to appear while sinking into his body a second later.

These Marks shook him out of his stupor as while he still kept his mana flowing to call even more beings for Fealty, the beams of light he shot from his eyes receded as he came to and looked at the wondrous Marks floating into him, knowledge of what they were filling his mind as he found himself staring at them in shock!

This was the content that was hidden under the description of the [Architect of the Dao], and he was finally gaining information on it as his System very quickly compiled what every single Mark of Antiquity was relaying to Noah, a proper description of them appearing in front of his eyes.

{Mark of Antiquity} :: The convergence of a unique authority in the form of a mark that can be branded onto the Galaxies within one's Origin. Every branded Galaxy undergoes evolution to become a Dao Galaxy, where one can designate a specific Dao into it. Unique enhancements and boosts are given to the Daos occupying a myriad of Dao Galaxies. The birth of 10 Billion Dao Galaxies allows the elevation of a single Lesser Dao to a Grand Dao, with the culmination of 50 Billion Dao Galaxies allowing the elevation of a Grand Dao to a Cosmic Dao. To proceed from a single Universe and have the possibility of birthing a cluster of Universes, one must transform all the Galaxies within their Origin into Dao Galaxies…

"...!"

Noah's heart shook as he felt like he had stumbled onto a big secret much too early, the things he was reading involving the elevation of Universal Hegemonies into the next Realm!

Yet even as his heart beat faster, a domineering smile spread across his face at having obtained such a thing, the air of Ancientness around him becoming even more Tyrannical as he turned his attention into his Origin where thousands of Marks of Antiquity freely flowed, giving his command for them to be branded onto nearby Galaxies as he did something only those in the Universal Realm would be able to do- he began to birth his very own Dao Galaxies!

RUUUMBLE!

At the same time he began to do this, the beings that had just sworn Fealty to him felt the 5% of power they were borrowing from the Tyrannical Emperor to be increasing, their minds going into utter turmoil at such a reality as at this time, Noah continuing to break all known norms as the secrets of Universal Hegemonies were laid bare before his eyes!
