Chapter 1843 Fifth Ind [2]


    Just like the first ind, there were no guidelines on the fifth.


    The only information these future Supremes learned was that they needed to purify their Nonexistence. Other than that, they were on their own.


    So, from Damien''s perspective, what needed to be done to achieve that level of purification?


    ''I really don''t know.''


    Purifying Nonexistence wasn''t necessarily a thing that could be done. It took whatever form it took based on one''s experiences. Damien''s Nonexistence was pure because he''d never polluted it in the first ce.


    But, for those who made it this far with a polluted concept, the situation was different.


    They had to establish methods to purify Nonexistence before attempting it.


    It wasn''t much different from forming a Divinity. The people in this realm had to find out what Nonexistence meant to them. After establishing that in their core, they could chase it. Their efforts would pay off and the influence that external energy had on them would be decreased.


    That was why this ind was the hardest of the five.


    Damien already established that Nonexistence wasn''t just a concept to him. The way he interacted with it as if it was a living being with its own emotions and the lessons he learned from its faces in the process had already defined his "Divinity" in that sense.


    What about others? For those who didn''t receive the same enlightenment as him, it was impossible to define a concept like Nonexistence and personalize it.


    ''But this is the ideal environment to do it.''


    This ind was unique in that it wasn''t polluted by any kind of aura. When people died, they wouldn''t leave behind stains on the environment as they did on the other inds.


    These experts had the benefit of being able to die as they pleased because they would not lose their energy in the process. This way, they could test and test and test without worrying about their strength depreciating.


    Damien smiled. He had been staying away from death for that exact reason, but the freedom this ind gave him allowed him to drop that worry. If he was able to die continuously, he would be able to practice like never before.


    He first entered a city just to see what the atmosphere was like only to learn that it was mostly deste.


    The people here didn''t have an interest in social lives. None of them gave up like the people of the third ind.


    At almost all times of all days, they were busy training, focusing on themselves.


    asionally, there would be festivals and gatherings, but none of them were currently happening. As such, rather than focusing on the people, he decided to first find a ce for himself to stay for the next few years.


    He wasn''t joking when he said that there wasn''t a single inch of unimednd. The entire ind was turned into a sprawling city to save space and contain all of the people living there.


    It was a little funny to think that all of these experts were practically living in studio apartments, but that was beside the point.


    Damien didn''t want to go through the annoying processes of finding a ce to live within the city. It was a general rule of thumb that if one found empty space, one could im it. He chose that method instead. n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om


    Spending some time exploring the ind was a good practice for him. Over the next few months, he met some of its people and interacted with them, learning more about the culture of this ind.


    And, more importantly, he found that it was impossible to im any space. The beaches were kept empty on purpose as they were ces where neersnded, and even the mountains and volcanoes were covered in imed properties.


    How was Damien meant to find a quiet ce to practice?


    He knew that his movements weren''t going to be quiet. No, he was nning to die many times in the pursuit of his goals, so he needed the space to properly do so.


    ''Thend isn''t an option. The sea isn''t an option. Then, I''m left with the sky, right?''


    Damien was curious about why aerial architecture wasn''t considered more often. In such an overcrowded ce, wasn''t it obvious to think outside of the box?


    He was correct in that aspect, but he underestimated the difficulty of taking ownership of the Land of Nothingness'' sky. ''I guess this is my first training method.''


    As it turned out, the sky was barely different from the sea. It was made of pure Nonexistence. Though it allowed people to traverse through it if they had enough power, it was still murky and undesirable terrain.


    If Damien wanted to build in the sky, he needed to first conquer it.


    That was when his training began. He gave up on finding amodations and flew into the air on his own. His connection with Nonexistence allowed him to stay in the airspace without being inhibited.


    To do more than that, naturally he needed to practice.


    He started by sitting down in the sky and meditating, bing one with the atmosphere.


    Slowly, he released his territory and expanded it to cover more and more space. It started as just a tform to support his weight, but he was eventually able to epass several thousands of square feet for himself.


    What started as nothing more than a foundation became more and more robust with time. Building vertically was more difficult than building horizontally, but it was also a task hepleted with enough effort.


    Damien didn''t need much. He built a small cottage on the side where he could rest while keeping the rest of the space t and turning it into a training ground.


    His actions drew a lot of attention. The people living under him were quite curious about why there was a shadow over their homes now, and the people who saw it from a distance couldn''t hold back their curiosity.


    The denizens of this ind began to approach Damien. Some of them were hostile, but most held an attitude of curiosity.


    They wanted to know how he made it all possible. They wanted to learn from his aplishments and achieve more like scientists hungry for a new find.


    The fifth ind was filled with people who had been on a dreary search for answers for far too long to still have passion. Damien''s presence reignited the spark they felt when they first arrived in the Land of Nothingness.


    For these people who had been living stale lives without progress for so long, the appearance of a neer who refused to think like them was a blessing.


    Because, maybe by watching that neer execute his wild ns, they could find their own paths as well.


    Just like the third, the fifth was a ce that Damien liked a lot.


    And, since the n was to spend a decent amount of time here, he decided that it would be a good idea to be familiar with the residents. Damien''s house in the sky became something of a meeting ce for the people in a matter of one year. It expanded rapidly, making room for others to train and try things without fear of repercussions.


    The sky became synonymous with prosperity and experimentation.


    It all happened within a year. And frankly, even Damien was confused about this rapid development.
