The mindset of many Paragons was actually an extremely despotic and dangerous one!

It was beings that knew exactly when death would come for them, and the vast majority were condemned to death as if they could forge connections at the rate of less than 100,000 galaxies per year- they would never advance forward as only death would be their friend.

This was why Hegemonies were able to successfully influence the most powerful beings on Universes and bring them under their influence- it was all for that slim chance of increasing their Destiny!

But when it came to Noah…his Universal Fortune was already so massive that it even surpassed beings that were already in the Universal Realm.

"With your oversized Fortune, you are much different from others as since it took me nearly half a million years to achieve a Universe, it should take you half that time if not one fourth of it! I wouldn't even be surprised if you were able to fully connect all your Galaxies in less than 100,000 years!"

…!

Valentina's voice rang out as if it was heard by Paragons and even other Hegemonies- screams of unfairness would have rung out all around.

Noah was so damn balance breaking that even the Hegemony of Summoning told him that it was likely a guarantee for him to reach Universal Realm within a set period of time, and Noah wanted to find out how long it would take!

THRUM!

His main body stared at the glimmering Origin that held 100 Billion Galaxies, focusing on a single one as his essence bubbled forth and he commanded just this one Galaxy to form a connection with another one nearby.

BZZZT!

They shone with a bright luster as a unique feeling wrapped around Noah, his eyes watching a thin line stretch from one Galaxy to another as the moment they connected, it was like a chain reaction as it caused even more lines of connections to bloom out, jumping from one Galaxy to another as two went to four, four went to 8….the numbers of connections continued to jump crazily as even Valentina had begun to look at Noah closely through the Golden Mirror!

RUMBLE!

His Origin buzzed with strength and power as thin blue lines constantly connected glimmering galaxies, the number very quickly surpassing Valentina's daily maximum limit when she was a Paragon as it soon hit over 2500 connected Galaxies, and within seconds broke past the point of 5000 connected galaxies! This daily rate was 8 times Valentina's as every year, it meant Noah could connect close to 2 million Galaxies!

"Ah…"

The body of the Hegemony of Summoning shuddered as even though she expected it, seeing it herself was just terrifying.

She shook her head in condolences to all the Paragons out there that found it hard to connect their Galaxies, the Paragons that did not have the talent as they could only connect less than 100,000 every year!

THRUM

Noah's Origin let out a pulsating blue light at this as the blue lines of connections stopped there, his Origin simply shining with intense blue light as the connections made his strength feel even more solidified and out of this world.

His eyes constricted as he found no matter how much he focused to try and form more connections, nothing would work as it was like a barrier existed that he could not cross no matter what he did!

A barrier that would break down when…

"...24 Cosmic Hours have to pass before one can forge more connections between their Galaxies, and this cannot be bypassed even with Spacetime Treasures. But you really…"

Valentina had an exasperated expression as she watched Noah casually form connections that indicated a rate of 2 million per years, a fact that meant this being would only need 50,000 years before becoming a Universal Hegemony!

50,000 years!

Valentina looked at this like a ridiculous and incomprehensible thing, something that any other Hegemonies would cry out at as to them and many Paragons, it was a negligible amount of years.

Yet when Noah came to this conclusion...his face scrunched up in unhappiness as he found it was actually too long!

He was still just a man in his 20s! He hadn't even lived past 100 Cosmic years, much less the concept of 50,000 years needing to pass before he could fully connect all 100 Billion Galaxies.

When Valentina saw this dissatisfied expression on his face, she felt like she couldn't take it anymore as she shook her head and turned her eyes to the shocking battles that just began in the chaotic void of space of the Animus Universe.

She couldn't look at this being any longer lest she wanted an inferiority complex to arise within her at how astounding he was on all sides!

Noah's body also got out of the range of the Golden mirror as his body floated down from the skies and landed into the golden swaying trees that bore Fate Apples, his expression thoughtfully as he stared at the 100 Billion Galaxies within his Origin.

Even though they were Manifested on his body, there was a chunk of glimmering rainbow colored Galaxies that nobody could see within his Origin!

It was...the Dao Galaxies that were branded with the Marks of Antiquity!

Dao Galaxies that were filled to the brim with the Essence of the Cosmic Dao of Ruination...Noah's eyes turned his attention towards them as his heart beat faster, his mind telling him to try something! To try something with these Dao Galaxies that only ever appeared within the Universe of a Universal Realm expert.

RUMBLE

All of the Dao Galaxies within Noah's Origin brightened up, and there was currently an incredulous number of 23 Million Dao Galaxies within his Origin that he had branded with Marks of Antiquity!

23 times the number of Dao Galaxies that Valentina had been able to form since she became a Hegemony…

Noah's eyes shot out beams of light as he gave a command, sensing the unbreakable barrier that would only ever allow him to form connections with thousands of Galaxies shatter away with the might of the Dao Galaxies, pulsing rainbow colored lines shooting forth from each of the 23 Million Dao Galaxies and smashing into 23 million normal Galaxies!

BZZZT!

A storm of essence raged around Noah as his strength was elevated to an even greater degree, his Origin buzzing with might as when he blinked again, he saw that the lines of connection had fully formed between 23 million Dao Galaxies and 23 million normal Galaxies.

That was 46 million Galaxies that were fully connected! This was the hard work of 23 years, and he did in in a matter of seconds!

…!

"Haha!"

Noah couldn't help but laugh as he found a way forward to quickly achieving the Realm of a Universe...and it was through the stupendous Marks of Antiquity that forged his Dao Galaxies!!!
