"Arata I have discovered a method of applying some of the newly formed conceptual laws within the 'Void star Tai Suu." Aiwass's voice echoed within my mind.
"Aiwass, what did you say?" Arata froze briefly before speaking. Had Aiwass already uncovered a way to utilize the new conceptual framework of the Void Star Tai Suu?
Although Arata had already fused with the Void Star Tai Suu, he only clearly understood one function. The illusory celestial body known as Tai Suu could completely seal divine entities and suppress other beings to half of their full strength. Beyond that, he had no clear understanding of its deeper potential. Even though he desired to explore the power of the Void Star Tai Suu, he currently had no direction.
Aiwass had only possessed him for a few days. In merely two days, he had already deduced certain operational principles of the Void Star Tai Suu. Was this the true capability of the so called "mysterious leader," or simply the result of knowledge accumulated over countless years that far exceeded the imagination of ordinary humans?
"Arata, the Void Star: Tai suu is the origin of all conceptual laws and systemic structures within creation. You may think of it as an empty foundation. How you construct and define it will determine the rules governing your universe. With your existence and experience, this blank blueprint will inevitably take on your unique conceptual imprint."
Aiwass's manifestation currently existed within a dimension without fixed direction or spatial orientation. At the center of this boundless conceptual space floated a blood red celestial body. Surrounding it were circular temporal rings resembling planetary orbits.
"Arata, I envy you. As long as you continue to evolve, you will inevitably become that indescribable and incomprehensible existence who establishes all concepts and all laws."
Arata's consciousness manifested within this space, staring at the chaotic yet structured world in astonishment. "Is this the internal realm of the Void Star Tai Suu? Its true core?"
"Void Star Tai Suu. So that is its designation. This place both exists and does not exist. You may regard it as the birthplace of conceptual laws. This is the inner domain of the Void Star Tai Suu, and that blood red celestial body is the Great Origin."
Aiwass stood beside Arata, pointing toward the crimson star at the center of the endless void. The surrounding temporal rings aligned precisely with positions corresponding to a twelve hour clock.
"When heaven and earth first emerged, all phenomena existed in chaos, devoid of awareness or distinction. Yin and Yang separated, celestial bodies took form in the northern expanse, and terrestrial structures arose from Kunlun. The sun, moon, and five planets were born from Altair. Forty five thousand years marked one complete cycle of their revolution."
This description aligned perfectly with a primordial astronomical system based upon Jupiter's cycle, corresponding to the earliest conceptualization of time at the birth of the Great Origin.
"Aiwass, as you can see, this is a Taoist cosmological model embodied within the Void Star Tai Suu. Although it is fundamentally my essence, I do not yet comprehend it. I require your assistance in understanding this power," Arata said earnestly. With Aiwass present, it would be irrational to explore blindly through trial and error.
"Arata, you still do not grasp what you represent. Your existence prevents me from abandoning my pursuit. You are, in essence, a being who will one day create a universe from nothing, even if you are currently mortal." Aiwass's calm voice carried unmistakable intensity.
"I understand very well what I represent. I represent the future core of a divine system that will transcend the multiverse." Arata's lips curved upward, his eyes unwavering.
"What I mean is this, Aiwass. Though I am weak now, as you yourself stated, I will inevitably become a creator level existence. Therefore, I formally invite you to stand at my side as my right hand and as a member of my divine system. Do you accept?"
Aiwass's interest in him stemmed from his unprecedented existence. It was not yet loyalty. However, Arata genuinely wished for Aiwass to become his guardian angel.
He was offering a future in exchange for allegiance.
"Arata, even if you ask again, my answer would not change. Until I discover the destination I have pursued relentlessly, my position remains unchanged," Aiwass replied evenly.
"If I provide you with information regarding the place you seek, would you acknowledge me as your master and become my guardian angel?" Arata asked with a faint smile.
"The information I seek? Your background appears increasingly extraordinary. This cannot be explained by simple omniscience," Aiwass responded, meeting Arata's gaze.
"What is your decision?" Arata asked.
"If it truly pertains to the destination I pursue, then I will protect you with all that I possess until the very end," Aiwass answered.
"I believe once you perceive this, you will choose correctly." Arata transmitted a portion of information from his memory regarding the so called 'Little Garden World.'
Within his own mental domain, such transmission required only intent. Under the protection of the Void Star Tai Suu, Aiwass could not forcibly read his memories. Even if the Void Star Tai Suu failed, the system would intervene.
"The convergence point of countless parallel worlds. A divine observation universe constructed by gods. A miniature garden designed to monitor the developmental trajectory of humanity across the multiverse. Does humanity evolve through divine blessing, or are gods born from human faith? The Void Star Tai Suu. Millions of deities. The heliocentric theory of divinity. Three digit omnipotent domains. Two digit omnipotent domains..."
Unfamiliar yet logically coherent concepts flooded into Aiwass's awareness, accompanied by profound excitement and the exhilaration of approaching ultimate truth.
"So that is the case. This is the truth. The multiverse truly exists. This universe is merely an isolated island within an infinite ocean, and we are primitive beings confined upon it."
Those within this universe sought to explore the greater ocean but lacked the strength. Only entities who reached the two digit omnipotent tier or those who possessed a structure equivalent to the Void Star Tai Suu could traverse the multiversal sea. The strongest existence currently on this isolated island remained only at the three digit omnipotent level.
"One cannot traverse the multiverse without reaching the two digit realm, yet one cannot reach the two digit realm without leaving this island. It is a paradox without solution. No being within this universe would ever discover the infinite worlds beyond."
"So tell me, Aiwass. Will you become my guardian angel and cross the multiverse with me, or will you remain in this cosmic enclosure as the so called mysterious leader until eventual destruction?" Arata's expression remained composed and confident. This was his final bargaining piece.
He had only revealed the worldview of the miniature garden. What lay beyond that remained unknown even to him.
However, once a sufficient level was reached, interdimensional travel would become inevitable. The system confirmed as much.
If the world of A Certain Magical Index existed as a genuine reality, then other worlds must also exist. They had merely been perceived as fiction by a different Earth.
"The possessor of the Void Star Tai Suu will inevitably transcend the multiverse and depart from this isolated island. The conclusion is straightforward. Arata, I will become your guardian angel. I will protect you until the end and witness your journey across the multiverse."
