Established Pinnacle: The Enigma

The years outside kept going by, as more dangers occurred, the Second Calamity bringing forth more death.

Within the seven years that it descended, 40% of the remaining population had perished. That was a lot, considering how the population was well over Quadrillions.

And that was just the first seven years, as time went by, more deaths occurred. By the Tenth year, Hell had finally made its entrance, as beings such as Fiends appeared.

Lesser Fiends and Greater Fiends, beings that could even challenge Origin Gods and Transcendental Gods, could finally make their entrance.

Of course, the Gods were also planning their invasion, just like the Seraphims, and the Divine Spirits. Nobody wanted to let such an opportunity off the hooks.

And they made their entrance soon enough, as the Seraphs also jumping in, and came in to save the population. Unfortunately, more than half of the remaining population was gone.

While the other half was enslaved, after all, five years were a lot. And that, began the battle between the Angels and the Demons. An all-out Holy War.

Two years later, the Gods also began coming along, joining the Battle as well. Things escalated so far, that this was no more just a Holy War.

But a goddamned Ragnarok!!

In just less than twenty years of the Second Calamity, something as terrifying as a Ragnarok, had appeared.

Beings Transcendent of Realities fought, and Cardinal Continents vaster than even the largest Stars to exist fell. Continents stretching for as vast as light years.

Some rivaling even the largest galaxies out there, due to a certain scheming Goddess... fell.

And to make matters worse, the Cardinal Continents were moving closer to each other, at quite the fast pace, hoping for a Fusion as soon as possible.

Maybe it would not take even over a hundred years before the first World Continent was formed. And nobody knew how vast, and powerful it would be.

Unfortunately, as that all occurred, Cheryl was busy cultivating. Her Heavenly Dao Law had had finally reached the peak of being just an Origin Minor Law, and was trying to transcend itself.

Unfortunately, it seemed a bit hard, as she felt like she required a bit more time, unlike before. She felt like she was still a bit far away from attaining the next level. 'This... is tough..!!' She frowned in determination.

Thus... she cultivated some more.

The years went one, and the situation within the Mortal Worlds only got more worse. The Abyss finally made an entrance during the 25th year, which only spiced up things.

And during the 30th year, the official Ragnarok began, as it was Fiend for Fiend, Seraph for Seraph, and God for God.

The poor Mortals and Deities were just tools used by the Higher Existences, as spoils of War, or betting chips.

A period of endless suffering and despair had appeared. And the one to cause this, was someone who was related to her, through more than a few strings of Karma.

Then fifty years into the Second Calamity, disorder and chaos were everywhere. There was basically almost no living beings amongst the countless Cardinal Continents that were beyond merely tens of thousands.

And throughout the fifty years, they had increased greatly, and quite a few had fused into something grand, and majestic.

Pseudo-World Continents.

Continents that could rival Galactic clusters in sheer size and density, alone. And they were quite a few of them spread out within the the Endless Sea.

Enough to be in the thousands.

While the Gods, died and rose.

It was a period of endless despair, and ascending through the blood and death of others. Those lucky to survive were those fortunate enough to gain the protection of the Gods.

And throughout the twenty years that Ragnarok began, the Providence of the Cardinal Continents had risen above the roofs, being enough to rise even Gods.

The death of a single God, could amount to the birth of multiple False Gods, or rather, Ancient Deities, while also affirming the rise of a Demigod or two.

Let alone the death of a Transcendent God.

Unfortunately, such a thing has yet to happen at the moment, as currently, they were still slightly limited to what extent they could influence the current Mortal World.

But even then, a few stories were quite noteworthy to learn about. One of them being about a young man not even above a hundred years old, rising to Slaughter Gods.

The amount of Vessel Gods and Demigods, and even False Gods that died at his hands, were many to count. And he was still rising right now, as the "Sumerian Devil of Retribution".

As well as the Goddess of Death that had risen within one of the Cardinal Continents, who contaminated said Continent when everyone except her people died.

She then moved to pull even the few sorounding tens of Cardinal Continents to fuse with her own Cardinal Cardinal Continent, or rather, as she claims, the New World.

And they were just a few of the rising figures, that attracted the attention of the Gods, yet said Gods did not dare target them recklessly.

But of course, a few were daring enough. Such as the Pantheon of Pride that was supported by the Fiend Lord of Pride, who blatantly challenged the rising Goddess of Death.

Of course, she proved herself in more than a few scenarios. Where even her followers, were strong enough to disregard Demigods, and in specified teams, even Origin Gods.

A few being Demigods themselves, capable if challenging multiple Origin Gods and Lesser Fiends. The power of the rising Goddess of Death was proved on point as a terrifying threat.

And it made everyone wonder, who was capable of supporting such a Ferocious group of beings. The more knowledge ones, associating everything to the nigh-omnipotent Supreme beings.

And they were not the only ones, even the Sumerian Devil of Retribution, had an entire Pantheon of Angels after him, supported by the Seraph Lord of Patience.

Ass such things occurred, Cheryl also experienced her final Breakthrough with the Heavenly Dao Law, going into the next level, the Advanced level.

And when that occurred, something strange happened, that surprised Cheryl greatly. The Law had evolved greatly, to something beyond the Heavenly Dao.

The Great Dao!!!

A completely different level of the Heavenly Dao Law, as it now reached the level capable of affecting the whole of Reality, and more, to a certain degree.

Advanced level Laws were beyond Reality, each and every one capable of affecting Reality to an absolute degree. Which, at that point, could be considered as affecting almost the whole of Chaos.

Reality was still a small cell of the Chaos, thus Advanced Laws, were just that. But as the Heavenly Dao Law was composed of over three thousand different Daos, it was even more vast and encompassing.

It influenced thousands of Realities, while still being at just 1% of that level. And like other Advanced Laws, that increase the affected Realities by ten times every extra percentage. She felt like it would constantly increase by three thousand times for her Heavenly Dao Law.

'Thus, it might be harder than all other Laws to cultivate, but it was also greater. My range of influence, once perfected at the Advanced level, would exceed even High Outer beings, with perfected Master Laws.' She thought whilst in the midst of cultivating.

Can you imagine that? Her Great Dao Law at perfect Advanced Level would affect at most 3,000×(3,000¹⁵) Realities... which was vast. 'Is this... the power of my Great Dao?' She marveled at the idea itself.

The information entering her mind surprised her, as that was just the beginning of everything. The Heavenly Dao Law, like Enigma's Laws, was also an aspect of its own.

One that was probably rivaling Fate as well. Unfortunately, she was unaware of this, and neither was she aware that her actions was evolving the very structure of the Law itself.

Even at its peak, it was but a Heavenly Dao.

But now, it could be a Great Dao, one above all other established Great Daos!!

Waaaam~

The Heavenly Dao Law within Cheryl's consciousness, that was an empty sky, that was eternally in day time, with casual weather manifestations in the form of Holy Arias, Holy Brilliance, or the likes.

The land was also a Garden of pure gold, trees with golden fiery leaves, each leaf burning as hot as the sun, golden lakes with clear water, denser than the overall sea water found within Planets.

Golden grass that was sharper than even the strongest Mortal weapons, and these were just a few of what this unique consciousness housed.

And above everything, above the Golden, dense clouds made up of condensed Holy power, a brilliant light shone, acting like the sole sun of these whole unique World that stretched out vastly.

Such a light, suddenly trembled slightly, as if experiencing something it had never felt before, yet always yearning for it.

Bam~

And as such a feeling coursed through its body, the light suddenly exploded out into all directions, separating into over a thousand sprites of light.

Each sprite of light being the same size as the light's previous form, a form vast enough to illuminate everything below, a land that stretched out for countless light years.

And as there were over three thousand of them, they were bundled up, and suffocating each other, which resulted in the forceful expansion of Cheryl's consciousness.

From being just countless light years vast, it was increased once again, as it exceeded that, and expanded by over three thousand times as well.

"...."

Cheryl breathed out as she felt such a thing occur within her consciousness, elevating it to extend beyond Reality. But it was still Transcendent, as she could now think of, or comprehend basically anything Transcendent beings can.

Along with her Eternal Soul, that was beyond even Supreme Divinities, and stats above the level of even Transcendents, base level at that, three of her Aspects of Existence were above Greater Divinity.

The only part remaining was her Existential level, but as a True Existence, that was easily solvable. Thus, the current Cheryl was nigh-Transcendent as well. 'But... I don't believe I can fight against a true Transcendent being.' She thought.

The cultivation of True Gods was this complicated. Two Finalized Final Ascendency True Gods, could match up to different levels of power, depending on their hardwork, talent and fortune.

And she was blessed with all three!!
