Chapter 1843 Immortals & Their ne of Existence


    "You know why the Immortals create clones, right?"


    Instead of answering his previous question directly, the Goddess Great Mother asked Eren another question.


    "Um… they create clones to generate Origin Force and spread their faith," Eren replied casually.


    The butcher had experienced this personally. Ever since he had created his pseudo-avatars, his Origin Force Points farming had increased sevenfold, boosting the amount of Origin Force Points he had umted.


    He still held significantly more Origin Force Points than most of the other demigods despite his overwhelming expenditure of them.


    "That is indeed the case. But there''s a more crucial reason behind why the Immortals send their avatars to mortalnds," the goddess looked at Eren and smiled before adding further.


    "They create clones so that they can stay Immortal. Otherwise, they''d experience Godfall," the goddess decided to speak cryptic, which Eren wasn''t able to decode because of a lot of the nk spaces in his understanding rted to divinity.


    Eren''s brows furrowed even further. He had many questions swirling inside his mind at this point. However, he did not voice them, instead allowing the goddess to exin more.


    "One of the most crucial requirements for bing a god from one''s demigod status is to form a ne of existence," the goddess chose her words carefully as she spoke. "This ne of existence is called an Immortal ne. This is why there are so many Immortal nes in existence. The current Immortal nes represent many Immortals and their divinities.


    That is not to say that all the Immortal nes have a legitimate owner. There are also barren Immortal nes whose spatial boundaries had been corroded because their creator died somehow.


    There are some half-baked Immortal nes because of someone failing to achieve divinity. Then there are Immortal nes that are in their nascent stage.


    Anyway, once a demigod has sessfully created a ne of existence for themselves, they are almost certain to be a god. When they take over this ne, they are able to write the rules of reality within the ne.


    As such, after taking over the ne, they be Immortals. After all, they are the owners of the Immortal ne. It''d be stupid to not write rules that are favorable to them.


    A ne of existence is defined by an Immortal''s Path, their Individuality so to speak. It''s like their home and personal fort in which nobody can challenge them.


    Since the ne of existence obeys theirmand, the one who infiltrates such a ne is bound by the restrictions set by the Immortal lord of that ne. Do you understand what I''m talking about?"


    Eren didn''t speak, sporting a brooding look. He had to admit that he was learning a lot, even though he still didn''tpletely understand the goddess'' words. The goddess could tell what Eren was thinking and chuckled before adding further.


    "Don''t worry, Eren. It''s not your fault," the goddess assured in a calm voice.


    "In your case, you became a demi-god even before achieving Sagehood. So of course, you don''t understand what I am talking about.


    Let''s just say that achieving a Sagehood is the first step in understanding how the Existential Concepts work and the cause-and-effect fabric work.


    The Cmity you face while breaking through the S-Rank is not only a test but also a form of blessing. It makes you understand a lot of worldlyws about the boundless cosmos.


    Most importantly, you understand the concepts of space and time and form a foundational understanding about them after breaking through the S-Rank. And this applies to everyone irrespective of their Paths or individual peculiarities.


    This is why all the S-Ranked entities were able to create Purgatories and Utopias after bing Sages in Anfang. The might of altering spatial fabric is the most fundamental power of the S-Rank. Although most S-Rankers won''t be able to exert their understanding because of theirck of talent, the understanding provided to them is more or less standardized.


    The same rule applies in Labh Salem as well. Let''s just say that the ne of existence is just the higher variant of those established isted domains that most S-ranked entities are known for.


    So if someone belonging to the divine faction bes an Immortal, they create what the mortals refer to as heaven for themselves. And when these Immortals belong to the demonic faction, the mortals call their ne of existence hell."


    "I see," Eren breathed a sigh of relief. He then processed the goddess'' words slowly in his head and couldn''t help nodding at her.


    Eren had always wondered how the Sages were able to create isted domains in Anfang to leave their inheritance in.


    After all, logically speaking, only those who had Elemental Attainments rted to time and space element should have been able to establish isted domains for themselves. How could Sages with varying Individualities all be equally qualified to create isted domains?


    Only now did he understand that the Cmity faced by the Sages at the time of their breakthrough was the reason behind their increased capabilities and understanding rted to the matters of time and space.


    In Anfang, there was always a belief that the time and space elements weren''t actually elements butck of them. Thanks to the memories obtained from God Aleph, Eren could tell that the concepts of time and space were definitely one of the Existential Concepts of the boundless cosmos. Although Eren had nascent knowledge about the concepts, one could not say that he had established his foundation in them.


    The goddess allowed Eren to ponder for a while before speaking further.


    "Eren, just like I said, the Immortal nes act like a fort for the Immortals inside which they have an unfair advantage. Their supposedly "Immortal" bodies can''t be harmed while they are secured inside their own stronghold.


    As such, nobody can kill an Immortal when they are inside their fort, inside their Immortal ne. But do you know what happens to them if and when they decide to step out of their impregnable fort out of their own volition?"


    It was as if a lot of gears in Eren''s mind had clicked and started spinning simultaneously. Only now did Eren understand why the Immortals often sent their clones into mortal nes.


    "So that''s why. The Immortals won''t be Immortals anymore when they are in the mortal ne. And they can be targeted by other Immortals when they are outside their Immortal ne. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om


    So they resort to using avatars and clones to interact with their followers," Eren said out loud, a eureka-like metaphorical st exploding inside his mind.
