Marks of Antiquity!
Something that only came by when Hegemonies birthed a Dao that went on to affect an entire Universe, with their rate of formation ranging based on what extent of an influence the Dao of the Hegemony provided to the targeted Universe.
Valentina had her Dao of Summoning that she spread throughout the Animus Universe, but the extent of its effect on the beings within the universe wasn't too massive as while she regularly received Marks of Antiquity from them, the rate of their formation was only enough for her to collect a bit over 1 million Marks after so many years!
Yet Noah birthed a Dao that affected vast numbers of beings and went on to affect them at an extremely deep level as the course of their lives were forever changed based on the strength they could borrow from him.
This caused for him to attain over 20 million Marks of Antiquity in just days! Days!
A quick note- Adui was nearly defeated with simple math problems...
A calculation error occurred that a reader pointed out in the last 2 chaps- When it came to the formation of connections within a Paragon's Galaxy, the rate was wrongfully written in days and not years, and some of the math didn't pan out!
Before the chaps were edited, it was written that Valentina could form 250,000 connections a day and it took her 400,000 years to connect 100 billion. But 100 Billion/250,000 would be 400,000 days, which when divided by 365 days within a year would mean she only required 1000 years! This rate isn't correct and doesn't reflect the struggles of Paragons, so a few edits were made as the number of connections forged reflect the unit of years.
Valentina could forge 250,000 Connections per year, Noah can form 2 million connections every year as his daily limit would be 5 thousand ish- small edits were made in the previous chap to reflect this! Of course, the rate of connection won't matter to Noah with the use of Dao Galaxies...
I'll have to revisit my math classes after this...
