Chapter 337 The Path Forward - End

CRACK!

A loud shattering sound occurred when Dante struck the crack, and the barrier that blocked his soul from connecting to the outside shattered. Immediately, a huge wave of colors poured into his soul space from the outside, causing the void-like soul space to become lively.

Before the entire area could become inundated with it, the energy whip that Dante used solidified in front of the crack, forming its own unique barrier in the form of a gate. This gate then adapted into a long golden bridge that started from his origin core and went straight to the crack.

The moment this occurred, all the colors converged back towards the gate and were expelled from his soul space, now being mostly controllable and tame compared to before.

Etz Chaim watched the entire debacle with a dumbfounded expression. She had never heard of anyone destroying their own soul barrier which protected the soul from the harmful forces of the outside world willingly.

Not only that, Dante had somehow managed to bridge the hole he created and allow these outside forces into his soul in a controlled manner. Etz Chaim might not understand cultivation nor its rules, but she understood that this method could grant a person the ability to slowly gain control of external origin laws the more they allowed these outside forces to imprint on the soul in a controlled manner.

Dante himself sighed with relief at his success and knew that the majority of it had to be attributed to the superior energy of his origin core, which was not only plentiful but also very tyrannical. The normal spirit energy a cultivator possessed could not destroy the barrier as quickly nor could it suppress the incoming outside forces so easily.

With this, Dante had taken his first step into activating his Origin power. Now all that was left was to spend time integrating the correct origin power in the outside world into his soul space and then activating the next stage of similar cultivation, which was the Immortal King realm where one established their dao.Follow current s on ɴovᴇl(ꜰ)ir(e).nᴇt

None of the mortal stages did that; the Dao Integration just paved the way for a cultivator to safely imprint external laws to make things easier, then they went right back to energy gathering and energy conversion from Void Refining that came after Dao Integration up until the Golden Immortal realm, which was golden core but for immortal energy.

Obviously, the rest of the stuff Dante needed to do no longer involved the quantum world, so he was technically done with the Immortal World. As such, he glanced at the spectating Etz Chaim lightly and then left his soul space.

On the outside, Dante saw that Beatrice had progressed rapidly while he was doing his own thing. She had already reached the Dao Integration realm after creating her Nascent Soul and Essence Soul, which only took seconds since her powerful Intelligence SDI and soul made it a process of refinement and condensation rather than generation.

Now, she was also breaking the boundaries of her soul space to allow for an external connection to the outside world, but it was nowhere near as easy as Dante's process. After all, while her spirit energy was superior to others, her soul was also too strong, forcing her to strike one point with all her various powers repeatedly.

So from the outside, Dante could see Beatrice's terrible grimace and sweat-matted forehead due to the pain she was experiencing. His heart ached as he hated seeing his wife in pain, but he knew that interfering with this process would make things even worse.

Beatrice would take some time to reach the highest realm, and she would need to stay in the Immortal World for a while. Dante, though, was now free of his obligations and decided to work on Quantum Entanglement.

After all, this was one of his main charges, more important than his personal quest for power since once he maxed out his power, he would be able to receive an actual authority.

Dante re-entered his soul space and came to the giant quantum gate. Standing before it, he couldn't help but recall where he started from and then ponder on where he was going.

He was now at the S rank of Quantum Entanglement and had the SS, SSS, and EX Ranks left to achieve his goal. It would not be an easy task, but he did have some advantages currently.

Dante came behind the gate as usual to see the remaining 45% of tangled threads still there. Enough had been untangled to allow Etz Chaim to feed him too much power and connect them so strongly that she could descend safely into lower space, so he wondered what would happen if everything was untangled.

Luckily, he no longer needed to rely on Zero Energy alone to untangle the threads since he now possessed his own source of Origin Energy. Dante pulled from his core and began doing his work, noting that the job was much easier and much faster when he was using his own Origin Energy than when he used external zero energy.

Based on this fact alone, Dante surmised that it should take somewhere between one to three years to raise Quantum Entanglement to the EX Rank, a frighteningly short period for the kind of power it promised him.

As it were, the SS Rank itself was only 3 months away. In fact, the only reason why it might take 3 years was Dante stopping the progress to deal with external things. If he dedicated his entire time to developing this, it would only take a year at best, hence the timeframe.

The residence of Dante and Beatrice within the Pure Heaven Sect descended into a strange silence as they focused on their own matters thoroughly without paying attention to anything else nor disturbing each other's hard work.

Like this, 3 months passed.

.........…..

"Whew, finally done up to 75%." Dante muttered to himself as the quantum gate shuddered and released a shockwave as a huge amount of energy flowed into it from Etz Chaim, waking the avatar up from her usual semi-slumber.

"Heng? Wuz going on?" She muttered sleepily until she noticed that a lot of her energy was going to Dante, then she shook her grogginess away and focused.

"Oh, you've made another breakthrough. Good, that's very good. In no time, you should be able to reach EX and receive my blessing to become a true Eternal." Etz Chaim nodded with satisfaction.

"Still, you have to also acquire all of Lara's clones so that I can forcibly rejoin them to her body, or you won't be able to get the authority over the universes. She stole a part from me and divvied it up in her clones so I can't easily take it back." Etz Chaim reminded with a pointed look.

"Sure, that makes sense, I get what you mean. I have already begun recruiting forces who will descend into other universes and lure her out to be seized by me." Dante reassured Etz with a smile.

Etz seemed to not care as she waved her hand casually. "Meh, you and Luka are smart guys, always having plans and clever tricks. Anyway, here's a list of abilities I can add to your quantum entanglement. Choose the one you like."

"Right, before that, I've always meant to ask. Once I reach EX rank will Quantum Entanglement stay or will it transform into the authority?" Dante hastily asked the avatar before she disappeared.

"Huh? Of course, the superpower is the foundation of the authority. I only supply you energy to use the abilities sincethe current you cannot even power it, even with origin energy. The abilities themselves are straight from pieces of the authority that I have broken down into individual abilities and have been giving you." Etz Chaim answered lazily.

"So essentially, from the list I've been given at every rank, I will obtain the ones I didn't and do not choose when I gain the full authority?" Dante further pressed as his eyes lit up.

"Of course, that and more. I don't really care much about this authority but I can tell you there's a lot to it. It's far more compound and complex than any natural authority that Lara or Myra might have had and Luka spent an untold amount of time crafting it." Etz responded and left this time, clearly not willing to answer anymore.

This was fine with Dante as his major concern was answered. Now that he knew what exact benefit came from raising the superpower, he would focus on it in tandem with his pursuit of personal power, but after this upgrade, he really needed to start work on the clones of Lara.

Anyway, all of that was for later. Now that he had put in the work for 3 consistent months without eating, sleeping, or even breaking his focus, it was naturally time to reap the rewards, and Dante was looking forward to what would be offered him at the SS rank compared to all the ranks before.
