Lex stood above the origin ocean, the vast expanse of the origin ocean now was somehow not that vast, as he used it to create the "primordials" a name he instinctively decided to call them.
strangely they too subconsciously called themselves primordials as if the name was etched into their very essence.
Lex found himself in a challenging situation. He noticed that the amount of origin energy had dwindled less than it had been before, and he knew it could replenish over a long period.
Although he understood that time was now meaningless to him, he couldn't simply wait idly, as it felt like an agonizingly long process. "I need to takeaction," he resolved, looking thoughtfully into the depths of the Origin Ocean.
He initially tried to comprehend the mysteries of Origin energy, but even he, as the embodiment of universal will, found himself mired in its complexities.
It was akin to a young child struggling to grasp the concepts of calculus and advanced mathematics.
But after tens of thousands of years dedicated to relentless analysis, he managed to comprehend only the faintest glimmer of the mysteries of the origin energy.
However, even that slight insight would prove acceptable for the monumental task that lay ahead.
He sat crossed leg above the Origin Ocean, and he drew drops of Origin Energy from the surface of the ocean.
The drops pulsed with power as he slowly suspended them in front of his body. "What I need now are technical ways to harness this power and have a deeper mastery over it" he muttered to himself.
Though Lex was now too powerful, this power had come to him abruptly almost unearned, although he could use it, it was hard for him to achieve the results he wished for.
He carefully held a single drop of Origin Energy above his palm, then skillfully dispersed it into countless tiny fragments.
In each of these fragments, he observed the fascinating processes of creation and destruction, witnessing the birth of galaxies, the formation of planets, and the evolution of star systems.
Origin Energy is a remarkable and powerful energy source unique to the Origin Ocean, known for its unparalleled strength and significance in the universe.
Its presence in this special location highlights the limitless potential of this extraordinary energy, making it a valuable resource for Creation and Destruction.
Lex sank into the depths of the origin ocean to better understand its mysteries and maybe see if he could find its source.
After descending for what felt like centuries he arrived at the bottom of the ocean and here the shimmering and beautiful starry night-like surface of the ocean was nowhere to be seen and only darkness was ever present.
After quite some time in the darkness, he saw a light at the distance that felt like a beacon breaking the oppressiveness of the darkness.
As Lex got closer to the light, he found out it wasn't just a glow anymore. It started to take shape, revealing something far more complex and beautiful.
It was like looking at the core blueprint of how the universe worked, a map of everything that existed, broken down into its smallest pieces.
He could see laws from a different perspective from how he saw them previously.
The laws here weren't written or spoken; they were alive, constantly moving. Imagine seeing threads of light stretching out in every direction, weaving together like a giant net. Each thread connected something important: time, space, energy, matter. Together, they kept the universe running.
Time wasn't just ticking like a clock, it was flowing in waves and spirals, speeding up and slowing down.
Space didn't just stretch, it folded and bent, like paper being crumpled or unfolded. Energy wasn't just glowing, it was constantly moving and changing while; building stars, breaking apart worlds, and creating life in tiny bursts.
If a regular person looked at this, their mind would explode with this overwhelming knowledge. They would suddenly see how everything fit together, why stars shine, why things decline, why life exists.
That kind of knowledge would transform them into something no longer human…something almost godlike, well that is if they survive this overwhelming knowledge.
What made this possible was the crystal ball that floated calmly at the depths of the origin ocean , it emitted brightness that illuminated the darkness of the surroundings.
Lex moved towards the crystal ball slowly and cautiously although he could feel the affinity that it had for the "will" but he was not the will in essence but Lex a human.
The "Will" by its very nature was not meant to feel, it was not meant to desire, to wonder, or to dream.
It was supposed to be a machine of pure instinct, existing solely to maintain balance, incapable of interfering with the creatures of the universe.
Each being was meant to exist independently, their births shaped by the laws of evolution. Those who could not adapt would perish, while those who could would survive.
What happened to Lex was unprecedented.
Lex raised his hand slowly, his movements calculated as he reached out to touch the crystal ball.
The moment his fingers made contact, the crystal ball shrank rapidly, almost unnaturally, and shot into his head with overwhelming speed, fusing seamlessly with his mind and consciousness.
In an instant, Lex found himself enveloped in darkness, a void that seemed infinite, yet one he could navigate with ease, his vision unhindered by the absence of light.
He settled into a lotus position, his focus turning inward, sharp and unwavering. Within the depths of his mind, he saw the crystal ball, now suspended in the vast expanse of his consciousness(soul sea)
It throbbed faintly, releasing fragments of fundamental laws, scattering them like shards of light, just as it had done before.
The crystal ball all of a sudden vibrated and it produced a blinding light in the process. Lex found knowledge about the crystal ball in his mind.
The crystal ball was a treasure outside the universe and as it was drifting in the void between universes it accidentally found itself merging with a newborn universe.
The reason why Lex could become the will of the universe was because of its influence as it facilitated his act of possession.
In most universes, the accumulation of origin energy takes an agonizinglylong time. The process involves countless cycles of cosmic destruction and rebirth with stars collapsing, realms shattering, and fragments of reality merging, just to condense tiny amounts of this energy.
Origin energy isn't just rare; it's elusive, a culmination of the universe's deepest mysteries and limitless potential.
His possession of such a concentrated amount of Origin Energy defied natural order but now he knew the culprit behind it "thecrystalball".
The crystal ball also possessed two extraordinary innate abilities the first one was: CostReduction and the second was infiniteUnderstanding.
CostReduction enabled its wielder to minimize the resources or effort required to create or accomplish anything that requires energy, though its effectiveness was bound to the user's strength.
A weaker individual could only make small adjustments while someone more powerful could defy even the harshest limits of reality.
InfiniteUnderstanding ontheotherhandamplified the user's capacity for comprehension of obscure knowledge and calculation to unparalleled heights.
It allowed one to unravel the mysteries of existence from the simplest mechanisms to the most complex universal laws.
But, this ability, too was tethered to the user's strength growing as their power evolved.
Lex held the crystal ball in his hand its power thrummed through him resonating with the core of his being.
To any other being, the abilities it granted might seem like a cheat. But to Lex, they were tools a means to an end because his starting position is the end of 99 percent of all creatures bound to a universe.
"CostReduction…" he murmured, his gaze fixed on the shimmering crystal ball. The concept was simple almost rudimentary in its definition yet its implications were profound.
With this ability, he could accelerate his creation, bypassing the agonizingly slow cycles of destruction and rebirth that shaped Origin Energy Its reliance on the wielder's strength felt like mockery to him.
His fingers tightened slightly around the crystal ball. "Infinite Understanding," he murmured again. The second ability, this ability awakened something deeper within him.
It gave him the ability to master all the laws of the universe and even go further. The mysteries he had failed to grasp when he was analyzing Origin Energy now would be easily understood by him although not that much but it did lower the difficulty of analyzing.
Lex's expression remained apathetic, his focus razor-sharp as he channeled all his attention into analyzing Origin Energy.
Every fiber of his being was attuned to its subtle vibrations, its complex patterns, and its boundless potential.
