章 129: A Taste Of Reality

"...So, what are you going to do now?" Libo asked. His question broke the ice, after the awkward silence pervaded the area for so long.

"Me? I'll be going to the various adventure zones for now to improve my Dao." Chojusen said, quite cryptically. The others might not understand since his level is borderline impossible to scan, but Chojusen knew that his Dao of Reality was at its infant stage; it was only recently born, and right now what it needed was to be improved upon.

"Fellow Daoist Chojusen, Do you by chance practice an Omega Dao?" The pale-faced female Autarch from before asked; there was a hint of excitement that could be faintly detected from her tone.

"Correct~ Why? Are you also a practitioner of the Omega?"

"Finally! Our Chaosverse can finally have a Lord of Chaos!" Another Autarch dressed in golden armor said.

Most of the other Autarchs had positive reactions to hearing news that Chojusen had an Omega Dao under his belt, but of course, there was always some prick not content with having another person get power. This time the pricks in question were actually a couple of divine lovers both ascending to Autarchy via the Dao of Yin and Yang respectively.

These two Autarchs had become Dao Companions — like husband and wife — long ago, before even reaching the Emperor level, and had given birth to a heaven-gifted cultivation prodigy. Their son also had an Omega Dao under his belt, but he was still just a Daolord of the Fourth Step; he wouldn't be shit, until he passed his Daomerge and became an Omega Emperor.

Chojusen on the other hand had an undetectable cultivation, meaning even Autarchs couldn't quite pinpoint where he was at along the road of power. In their eyes, he certainly couldn't be a mere Daolord or below; if he was, how could they explain his Dao being more profound than theirs to the point where they can't even scry his karma.

As all these Autarchs were mindlessly cheering on the birth of a new "Lord of Chaos," Chojusen spoke up once again to rain on their parade "Uh… I'm still a World God..."

"Che! That's right! He just had his breakthrough not one day ago. Why'd we think he was a friggin Emperor again?"

"His Dao is too profound… He can even stop us from snooping through his karmic threads..."

Chojusen then spoke up once again "But, I could probably breakthrough to the Emperor level or even Autarchy right away."

Everyone froze as these insufferable lines came out of Chojusen's mouth. Ascend from the World God level straight to Autarchy? Who the fuck do you think you are? Are Autarchs nothing more than cabbages that fall out of the sky?

"Ok, little man, please by all means, explain how its possible for a World God like yourself to reach our level with a "simple" breakthrough." The Yang Dao Autarch who was against Chojusen spoke with no anger in his voice. He wanted to see how this clown bullshitted his way through this situation.

"Very well." Chojusen spoke up and looked at everyone in the room, not a single sign of fear or nervousness present while being glared down upon by these supreme Daoists. "As you all know, cultivation is the way of understanding the Dao, right?"

All the Autarchs nodded their heads, only the hostile Autarch couple were internally cursing Chojusen for asking such a dumb question even mortals could answer. Chojusen continued "Well, according to my understanding… Upon picking your Dao in the World God stage, you then develop your own Dao in the Daolord stage and consummate it during the Daomerge to ascend to Eternity, right?"

Once again all the Autarchs nodded, they had all gone through this process. "And once your Daomerge is successful and you give birth to a flower of Eternity to advance to the Eternal Emperor level, you then nurture and fertilize your flower with supplementary Daos to cultivate a Daobirth Essence fruit. Have I said anything incorrect up until now?"

"No, it's all correct. But, what's your point exactly?"

Chojusen gave the confused Autarchs a knowing smile before spitting up into his various avatar states. The room was certainly not prepared to face 40 Omega Dao Avatars. Immediately the Autarch couple felt like they had kicked a stone wall. 40 Daos? 40 OMEGA DAOS? Fine… you can be the Chaos Lord…

And they knew that these Daos were at the Omega levels since most of these Autarchs had reached Autarchy since time immemorial. They had an infinite lifespan and plenty of time to train in all other Daos except the one they majored in to the Hegemon level. Thus it was instantly evident that every single avatar Chojusen unleashed had Daos well above the Hegemon level of understanding — the fused supreme level; the only way to surpass this limit was to either have Omega mastered or to obtain Daobirth Essence, which was exclusive to Autarchs.

Chojusen spoke to relieve some of the tension in the room. He said "You see, I major in the Dao of Reality, but I have 39 other Daos, as well as their permutations, mastered down to the Omega level. I know that you only need ten supplementary Daos at the Hegemon level to ascend from Emperorhood to Autarchy, so I'm covered in that department and Chaos is one of my Daos which means I have unlimited energy, since I can just conjure up as much chaos nectar as I please."

While all the Autarchs were trying to piece their world back together, Libo asked "You major in the Dao of Reality?"

Chojusen nodded and had his Omnifiend avatar step forward to do a little display of what the Dao of Reality was capable of. The Omnifiend avatar created a small Domain and conjured up a block of pure Violetflame Ore. He tossed the ore at one of the Autarchs and said "Check to see if its real."

Violetflame Ore was a rare and precious material used to create top of the line Eternal Grade treasures and perhaps only 300 hundred kgs of it could be found in the entirety of the Staffgod Realmverse. Seeing a block of it which weighed well over 100x that amount suddenly appear caused all the Autarchs to raise their eyebrows.

Even if Chojusen had conjured this up, an Autarch level Creation Dao could do the same. Just what was he trying to do? Anyways, the Autarch Chojusen tossed this block of ore to, did as Chojusen requested and confirmed that this was indeed a genuine block of Violetflame Ore.

Chojusen then said "Shatter it." causing several of the Autarchs present to wince in hesitation for a second. Sure, Violetflame Ore might be a treasured natural resource and these Autarchs could easily recover this amount in the future. But to just waste so much ore for a silly demonstration… this would cause countless Hegemons under the Autarchs to sigh and cry through the night.

Well, Chojusen was the one to create it so it didn't matter too much if the world lost this bit of ore. The Autarch possessing the block of ore Chojusen conjured swiped the block of ore with his paw and the entire block shattered into billions of tiny pieces; some of the pieces of ore even disintegrated into the void.

The Omnifiend avatar then expanded its Reality Domain to capture the area where his block of ore was destroyed. There, everyone watched in astonishment as time itself was reversed with a phantom image of Autarch moving backwards to a point where he didn't shatter the block of ore. At that point, the Omnifiend stopped time and calmly retrieved the block of ore from a time before its destruction. With the ore in its hands the avatar dispelled his Reality Domain and tossed the block back to the same Autarch that had shattered it previously.

Chojusen asked "See anything different?"

A bit of sweat started accumulating on the Autarchs face as he stared at the block of Violetflame Ore. He carefully inspected the block several times before announcing to all those present "It's… the same block from before. Down to the atomic level, this is the same block from before..."

Chojusen then started to call on several Autarchs at a time to show off the various applications his utterly broken Dao of Reality was capable of. In summary, what he could accomplish was everything, from the improbable to the impossible within his Reality Domain. Chojusen told Autarchs of the seven Primary Elements to used their elemental Daos on his Omnifiend avatar and then caused them to almost black out when he revealed that he could convert their Autarch level Daos.

Next a Space Dao Autarch had black lines appear on his face as he lost his most basic ability to teleport and distort space within Chojusen's Domain. A similar scene happened when the pale-skinned female Autarch of Time tried to use her powers against the Reality Domain.

One by one all the Autarchs got to taste how unbelievably broken this new Dao of Reality truly was. Unbeknownst to them, There was one glaring flaw in this Dao… It wasn't mature yet! Chojusen might seem like an onminpotent god within his Domain, but he had a limit to keep in mind, and every time he used his Dao of Reality, he had to use the Ultimate Prime Essence of the Omniverse; he was effectively burning out his Dao everytime he used it.

Of course, for these demonstrations there was barely any consumption of the Prime Essences, so there wasn't much of an issue. But if Chojusen had to fight for real, then he could atmost handle a single Autarch and for a short period of time, before his foundation was forever ruined. This was why he said he would be adventuring to mature his Dao.

With more experiences and more insights, Chojusen would be able to nurture the Ultimate Prime Essences themselves. By the time the Ultimate Prime Essences of Reality matured to the same level as the other Prime Essences, it would truly make him completely omnipotent.

(A/N: Omnipotent God Chojusen is too OP, I'll have to give him at least this restriction to keep the story going for a final arc~ Oh and I changed my mind, Book 4 will be something like "Ultimate Dao of Reality" or something you guys recommend.

Comment. For. Me. To. Decide. Please.

Warning, the next arc will (most probably) include hilariously long timeskips and maybe even some side stories about Chojusen's other body, conquering the three other planes he skipped out on. TDG is already confirmed to be the third plane so recommend two more, else I'll just go with the votes from the last Polling chapter (ATG and Danmachi). Last note I want to leave behind is that not too many girls will be added to the harem from these planes as I've already done quite the shit job of developing the girls in this novel and I don't want to add more "dead weight." (Seriously, writing Harems is extremely hard, especially if you don't plan for your story to be ultra mega long to have plenty of time developing each of the girls; Oh well, lesson learned~))
