Within the vast Primordial Empire.
In a Cosmos deep in the cluster of Cosmos within this Empire, an existence that was floating in a unique environment filled with the Primordial Essence and the Essence of Ruination opened her eyes.
Her verdant green hair washed over her shoulders as this existence looked extremely pristine, not a single layer of clothing on her as the glorious blessings were open, but there was nobody there to see!
All her proportions were so pristine that she was more than fully worthy of titles such as Miss Universe, if not Miss Cosmos!
Ruination and Primordial Essence wrapped around her tightly as her languid eyes gazed towards a certain direction, her hand raising as her fingers tapped the air and allowed the entrance of multiple Primal Crystals that contained bouts of information.
Much of it were things she expected and knew, the situation of the shifts of power within the Primordial Empire and which House was able to expand their influence across other Cosmos displayed before her. But her eyes raised as she came across a Primal Crystal from Daolord Azazel- one that included a certain scene of a new Cosmos being welcomed into the Primordial Empire!
"Oh?"
Her green eyes shimmered in the wondrous environment of the calm Primordial and Ruination Essence as her eyes locked onto the domineering figure of Noah on the scene playing out. The report Azazel sent along with the scene playing out only caused ripples to cross through the eyes of this being, but it was nothing more than that as she only gave it a bit more attention.
"Is there actually something there, or is it just some hot air?"
Her voice was like bells ringing throughout as she spoke with a smile, her hands waving the Primal Crystal containing this information and scene away as she moved on to other issues that pertained to someone like her!
Someone who was a king above many kings, someone that was the head of the House of Springforge!
In the unique space, her pristine body could be seen as it was utterly spotless, not a single Runic Dao Line in sight being seen on her body as it seemed to ring with another source of power.
Someone who oversaw the myriad of Kings within her House and controlled the expansion of their power into the territories of other Cosmos through the Writs of Challenges…she was a truly powerful individual, and it was a wonder as to why she didn't have a single Runic Dao Line inscribed on her stark naked body!
But her glimmering green eyes continued to move from one Primal Crystal to another as she sifted through droves of information, her fingers tapping the air every now and then as strings of commands were released.

In the Infinite Cosmos.
Noah was lying down on a field of lush golden grasses, a small picnic blanket beside him where the figure of Adelaide could be seen sitting regally with glistening foods all around her.
In her hands though, one could see a pulsating multicolored heart that released waves of potent essence that even caused the surroundings to take on a hue of multiple colors!
The two of them were currently in the Dark Universe of the Infinite Cosmos, in the land that used to be Noah's home as all around them were fields of glimmering golden grasslands with just the two of them having a picnic, a Primordial Heart in the hands of Adelaide as she looked towards Noah while shaking her head with a hint of shyness.
"Why would you give this to me first? I don't delve into any of the battles like everyone else…just let everyone else have these. I don't need to reach Antiquity so soon."
The Ice Queen loved the present she received profoundly, but she couldn't bring herself to absorb it as she thought about Kazuhiko and all the others who always fought on the front lines and could benefit from treasures like this much more!
"Hmm?"
But she only saw the man she was completely enamored with rising up and look at her with teasing eyes, his voice dancing in her ears.
"Oh, then who should I take it to? Barbatos? She'd get too excited from getting such a gift as I don't know what she'll do…Valentina? She's wanted to reach Antiquity the most over the years…"
His teasing eyes seemed to be thinking of many things as Adelaide harrumphed while she pouted at him mentioning other women during their time, her hand pulling the Primordial Heart back as she spoke in a sulking manner.
"Fine…I'll absorb it later. Or can we mix it with the food and eat it cooked?"
RUMBLE!
Dangerous words were mentioned from her mouth as she spoke of a prized treasure that even Daolords sought for as an ingredient for a meal, Noah smiling at such a scene as his eyes remained locked on her clear eyes. Clear eyes that he felt like he could get lost in and freeze in time as any worries faded away.
He shook himself out of his reverie as he spoke out lightly.
"Don't worry, the others will receive Primordial Hearts just like this to advance forward."
"Oh?" Adelaide raised her brows at this as her sonorous voice continued to echo out. "Just like this?"
"Well, yours was the first. You'll always be the first!" Noah was quick on his feet as he replied, causing a dazzling smile to appear on Adelaide as she nodded happily while putting glistening food on two plates.
"Come on, tell me what's happening in the Indigo Cosmos…"
Her fair fingers moved towards the food around them as she prepared a plate for Noah, his figure teleporting beside her on the picnic blanket as his eyes shone with light while his mouth moved, a smile still persistent throughout!
He had already begun to distribute the cut up Primordial Hearts to his people as at this very moment, they would soon be forging Billions of galaxies to set up their universes and then proceed to connect them.
Because they could amass Marks of Antiquity with the Primordial Hearts, they would be able to become Hegemonies and then Antiquities within the same day!
Noah was setting up his forces for a stupendous rise in strength as given their capability to borrow a percentage of his power and the boosts from their chosen Archetypes- it was bound to be a fantastical reality when he brought all of them into the Indigo Cosmos and fought against the forces within the Primordial Empire!
