Chapter 3897: Foundation II

A glorious Tower, enacted by an Early Creature!

The base of the tower was simple- primal, as if the very concept of ’tower’ had been born from its likeness. Spiraling etchings crawled up its side in curving arcs, each inscribed with unending infinity symbols, each line seeming alive.

The Tower was supported not by stone or foundation, but by nine Eidolons.

Nine archaic, ancient figures made of pearlescent cerulean shells and etched bone armament- each one a towering Sacred Living Eidolon of Infinity.

Their forms were draped in woven moss and plates of translucent armor derived from the shattered husks of Mythic Living True Signatures.

Each Eidolon bore a different pose.

One knelt, palms flat on the sands, head bowed.

Another stood with one arm raised, as if bearing the weight of Wheels

One leaned upon the tower as if he alone supported it on his back.

Together, they upheld the tower with silent devotion, their bodies locked in ancient positions that sang of burden, memory, and quintessential labor.

Above them, the Tower pulsed softly.

From its peak, streams of white-gold and cerulean mist poured into the sky. There were no windows, no obvious openings, only a singular spiral staircase carved into its inner wall, rising and falling endlessly, as if even the architecture refused to admit a top or a bottom.

The Tower stood gloriously.

It was the crystallized proof of his will, of the blood of an Early Creature finally manifesting its might into form.

And this...was only the first.

The streams of white-gold and pale blue drifting above the peak of the tower coalesced with meticulous purpose. They twined and thickened, swirling inward to form a singular structure- dazzling in its geometry and hue. It was a structure of cerulean-gold, its form veinous and alive, as if arteries of power pulsed beneath its translucent shell.

A vessel like structure formed at the top of the Tower!

|The Early Sacred Living Infinity Tower of Osmont has formed the First Vein of an Early Creature, from which the Heart of an Early Creature can begin being forged from.|

...!

He breathed. Only his breath, steady and slow, carried meaning now. His eyes opened just slightly- slits of molten gold and blue currently and infinity swirled within them.

|You have discovered new Records of the Weavings of Early Creatures as you pioneer your own path tracing back through the Earliest Folds.|

|In the Earliest Folds, Early Creatures cultivated Early Living Marine Lifeforms and reared Early Living Land Lifeforms, alongside harvesting Early Living Sacred Herbs in their Shores. They had an overabundance of resources filled with Complexity and Purity, which they utilized to forge their Glyphs and elevate their power. In this current era, such resources are exceedingly rare. Forging the Heart of an Early Creature will be immensely difficult.|

...!

His fingers closed into the sand, feeling the granules break between his knuckles like brittle fragments of time.

"So..." he murmured, the syllable barely brushing past his lips. "They lived in abundance."

He tilted his chin slightly, eyes narrowing at the information unfurling like sacred scripture before him.

Abundance! He had Abundance. Even if it might not be enough!

"The Heart, formed only through Veins. The Veins, created by the Towers. Towers... birthed from complexity and corpses of the ancient marine life I consume..."

Marine Lifeforms, Land Lifeforms, Sacred Herbs!

Early Creatures had many things in abundance, and he did not. Yet his path was similar to theirs.

He breathed again, deeper this time.

It meant the path forward was slow and costly. To attain even the foundation of what the Early Creatures once were, he needed what they had freely- oceans teeming with life, forests of Sacred Herbs, and mountains of purity.

But he was not born in their age.

He would have to forge what they had for himself!

More prompts came down in this momentus occasion.

|You have unlocked the first stage of your Early Sacred Living Tower. The Tower of Osmont has begun aiding in the construction of the Heart of an Early Creature in the limited capacity of its first stage.|

|Taking your Tower to the Second Stage will allow it to be manifested as a Sacred Tower Totem in your Early Veiled Shore, with such a totem capable of attracting Early Living Land Lifeforms who can generate essential products that accelerate the progression of the Tower and other components of an Early Creature.|

|Stages of an Early Sacred Living Tower|:: 1- The Foundation Vein: The initial manifestation. Forms the First Vein. 2- The Sacred Totem: Allows manifestation of the Tower within the Early Veiled Shore as a Totem. Enables attraction of Early Living Land Lifeforms. 3- The Vital Lighthouse: Undefined 4- The Sovereign Pillar: Undefined. 5- Unknown: Undefined. 6- Unknown- Complete harmony with the Early Veiled Shore...

...!

Grandiosity bloomed before him.

Each line carved itself into his memory like scripture. His gaze sharpened.

The newly built tower....had stages to it!

It was freshly built as it could become much more.

The second stage alone, The Sacred Totem, would allow the Tower to become a beacon. A living monument within his Early Veiled Shore. More than that, it would act as a call. A totem that would attract Early Living Land Lifeforms- creatures whose very breath and secretions would accelerate his forging of his Towers and the Heart.

He could imagine it already, those creatures wandering his Shore, their mere presence feeding his progression.

"Hmm...!" It was a beautiful scene just to think of!

The more the Heart was forged, the more his body would produce the mythical Blood of an Early Creature!

His eyes burned with desire.

He loved these kinds of things the most!

Learning about wonders he did not even know existed!

His infinite path...was proceeding smoothly.

But the question came as he progressed.

What would it take?

The next prompt gave him his answer.

|To advance the Early Sacred Living Infinity Tower of Osmont to its second stage: the Sacred Totem, you must consume the Sacred Bodies of 50 Early Living Marine Lifeforms, dedicating every part of them to the formation of the Tower. Alternatively, you may utilize treasures and resources that will be automatically evaluated and quantified in relation to the Sacred Bodies of Early Living Marine Lifeforms.|

HUUM!

He did not sigh at the difficulty.

He sighed at the truth.

"Fifty."

Fifty entire sacred bodies- purity, complexity, spirit, and matter, all poured into this one single Tower.

And that was just the second stage.

Noah leaned his head back, strands of vibrant hair slipping across his neck and shoulder as he exhaled.

His Glyph of the Protagonist spun slowly on his forehead, parsing the meaning and ramifications of every line. He needed...treasures. Caches. Everything.

Hannibal’s Loot.

Torus’s.

The burning spoils left by the Inevitabilities.

He had them. But even that was only enough for this one Tower, for Infinity. The others sat dormant, their growth proceeding slowly, waiting for the fullness of sacrifice.

He had already entirely finished the goldfish thst was the first Marine Lifeform to come!

Now, he needed a lot more.

Resources.

Treasures.

Time.

The path of an Early Creature was not for those afraid of cost.𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

And he...he would pay the price regardless of what it took!
