Buzz-!
As soon as Aleph walked forward, dozens of other Alephs diverged from his real body. They emitted a humming sound before proceeding to the Sanctum’s data centers.
There are a total of six Sanctums—one for each major field. The knowledge stored throughout thousands of eons was enough to crush even the brightest geniuses to death.
Fortunately, this problem was easily remedied by Aleph.

{...parsed.}
{Storing information under the folder [Planetary Retrofitting Technology]...}
He watched as Metatron began parsing countless information along countless other Alephs.
Thousands of Alephs worked together to bring down the mountain whose peak could not be seen. Along with him was Metatron. The [Scroll] she acquired back then enhanced her already ridiculous abilities to another level.
The combination of Aleph’s [Time] authority splitting himself into countless other Alephs and Metatron’s godly processing ability placed their progress to an eons’ worth of information every day.
This also resulted in his knowledge of the Five Supers System to shoot through the roof.
“It’s a given, then. The Beyonder’s Vestige is an authority ‘created’ by someone. It’s similar to the Intents in martial arts, but different in a way that it’s created based on the five authorities within the Supers System…”
Unlike the Aeons within the Star Rail, the system from Han Xiao’s world was comprehensive. Tested and proven data could be learned from the bottom (mortal) up to the top (god). It was ninety percent similar to the cultivation system Aleph saw in his past life.
At the very least, results could be replicated with this kind of system, as opposed to Aeons’ unique experiences.
“Hua and the others can follow on this path. The preliminary adjustments are already completed, so…”
While he was thinking about the future of his friends, he sensed another person’s entry into the third Sanctum. One thought was all it took for the hundreds of Alephs inside to gradually disappear.
Time itself erased their traces, leaving the third Sanctum virtually untouched. The columns of terminals returned to the ground.
Aleph did decide to leave out one trace of himself.
The person who entered bore striking similarities to Han Xiao. Her eyes glowed bright purple as a natural pressure was created around her. Her long black hair waved as she walked towards one of the Sanctum’s data terminals.
“Han Xiao’s daughter?”
“What a weird address. My name is Hei.”
She proudly declared.
“You mean, Xiao Hei?” Aleph asked in a teasing rebuttal.
“You gods… Just because you lived longer than me doesn’t…” Hei stopped arguing. “Arguing against you old guys is meaningless. If it doesn’t concern you, I will quietly use this terminal over here…”
With a wave of her hand, a white column rose from the ground.
She did as she spoke, focusing on weaving through the countless knowledge within the Sanctum.
‘Hm. Her body contains the blood of a dragon species. Though…’
He peered more with his elemental sight and studied her biological composition in-depth.
‘Like I expected. It evolved from a dragon with a lower limit.’
Aleph knew the process of Han Xiao’s godhood. He started out as a carbon-based human before evolving himself to a human with resistances to cosmic radiation. He then used the bone marrow of a void dragon for his further practices.
Later on, the bloodline in his body evolved to match his power as a Transcendent Grade lifeform.
One thing was made certain here:
Evolving from a weak species to godhood is possible, given enough external conditions.
‘Hm… Should I start poaching dragon people too?’
*****
Aleph ended up doing exactly as he thought.
Three months after ‘kidnapping’ Hua, he expanded the scope of his recruitment.
It started with Nous’ Pathstriders at first, followed by the people who haven’t decided on a [Path].
Now, even the Hunt’s and Destruction’s Pathstriders were affected. Nobody minded it at first. [Perpetuity] and the other [Paths] acting in parallel was a known fact to everyone. It was the first [Path] that offered another way while simultaneously being a [Pathstrider] of another [Path].
What’s even more shocking was the tacit approval of the two Aeons above. They did not punish their [Pathstriders]. It was as if they were completely fine with it.
Due to that reaction…

“A tenfold increase. The changes are visible, too.”
Seven different lights appeared atop his palm. These seven authorities could be exerted stronger than before.
When it comes to clashes against other Aeons, it becomes harder to affect his seven authorities. The same goes when it comes to his authorities rewriting the world’s phenomena. Manipulating time is easier now compared to before—the same goes for his other abilities.
This kind of solid increase of his firepower made him more interested with ‘Existence Power’.
‘It’s not as simple as being famous. There are special conditions to reach it. Maybe… this is how Finality obtained its power.’
A sudden ‘signal’ from the Realm of Infinite Light prompted Aleph out of his thoughts.
“...”
He did not speak. He made a step forward, prompting his surroundings to change to the typical appearance of vague white light.
What greeted his sight was a short girl sitting across the table. She was short enough for her upper body to be one above the table.
Upon seeing Aleph, she waved using her right hand.
‘This person…’
Aleph did not even need to use his elemental sight to see it was another Aeon. Just like him, they restricted themselves to a normal body.
“Just when I thought meeting a celebrity was hard… Can you sign this one for me?”
Her high-pitched tone evoked some memories from Aleph. The little gremlin-slash-terrorist on the game was present right in front of his eyes.
Aleph sat first without answering. He stared at the girl directly for a few seconds.
“What will you do with it?” He asked as he took out a fountain pen from the void. “Everyone would scramble to buy this.”
“Hm? Selling it like that is a waste. Why not set off a treasure hunt across the cosmos~?”
Aleph did not mind ehr answer and continued signing the notebook. A smile was drawn to his face as he proceeded to sign under the girl’s name.
The moment he gave the notebook back, its cover was revealed:
Book of Death.
“Heh. That’s my point.”
As his words fell, the girl’s face fell on the tabletop. Drool came out of her mouth, her heart no longer beating.
Bang-!
A confetti gun was fired from Aleph’s side.
“Aw… That’s a good one!”
An exact replica of the girl appeared out of nowhere. She pushed down the drooling girl and took her seat.
Surprisingly, the ‘dead’ girl’s body turned into a mini-fireworks of sorts when she touched the ground.
“How was it?” She eagerly asked. “Mind seeing who will outperform whom?”
“If you are willing to give a set time, then we could… Elation.”
Another Aeon greeted Aleph’s doorsteps.
