Maybe in another setting, this would be depressing, but along with his connection to the universe, Dyon understood why not in a moment.

Ancient Constitutions were completely unlike Earth, Heaven or even God constitutions Unlike those three tiers that could appear many times, even with many appearing at once, Ancient Constitutions were never birthed into the world more than once.

This was all to say that not only was Dyon's understanding of the reality of things at an all time high, so was his connection to the universe. Yet, a single glance at the entity's Origin Source had sapped the universe to a point where it was no longer able to continue supporting the cost!

"This is what it means to have an Origin Source." The entity explained with a calm and diligent manner. "To those who reach my level, the universes of the mortal plane cannot compare.

"I know what you're wondering. If I have the kind of power necessary to disdain the universe, why is it that I've sealed myself here to absorb one? Wouldn't it be beneath me?

"I'll tell you the truth, my little Junior Brother. Even after I formed my Origin Source, I felt that something was missing. I believed that the door to absolute immortality was hidden in a path beyond, yet the Origin Source wasn't a doorway, but, rather, a fierce defensive wall a mountain of sorts that even I felt was insurmountable.

"Even after I spent three million years forming my Origin Source, I spent another nine million years pondering just why this roadblock existed"

Dyon's eyes brightened, more and more. The light became so fierce that even while he was trying his best not to focus on the world around him, two rays of gold tore through the space.

"Your world is too complex." Dyon's words stopped the entity in his tracks.

At that moment, Dyon felt the gentle nature of his Senior Brother shift to a sharp gaze. It wasn't filled with killing intent, in fact, it disappeared almost as soon as it appeared. Yet, that one moment was enough to make Dyon's dao heart tremble so fiercely that its shattered pieces became nothing more than the finest grains of sand.

Dyon, however, didn't care.

In that one glance of his Senior Brother's world, he saw a beauty and artistry the likes of which he had never witnessed in his entire life.

Still, it took him but a moment to recognize the flaw that took the entity nine million to realize.

The moment those words came from Dyon's mouth, his head fiercely pounded.

'Soul Quintessence Soul Quintessence Soul Quintessence'

The entity's world was truly mesmerizing.

Blades of grass seemed to breathe and shift with an overwhelming complexity. Flower petals opened and closed with mind numbing layers of triangles, squares even shapes Dyon had never thought of or seen before.

The water flowed with a refined sense of art, swirling, waving and diving like a well orchestrated play.

Yet, all of this was just on the macro level. With his divine sense, Dyon realized that the complexity was far beyond what normal eyesight could pick up.

According to normal measurements, per a single cubic centimeter, there was an average of one thousand atoms raised to the power of twenty-four! However, to say that the density of particles within the entity's world was a thousand times that was a complete understatement. It reached such a level that Dyon's divine sense had no ability to parse out the numbers with any sort of accuracy!

The entity sighed. "If only I had Junior Brother by my side all those years ago. You would have saved my almost ten million years of seclusion"

Dyon shook his head. "This step It was a necessary step However, it's because you took this step that it took you so long The only reason I can see through the problem is because I don't have to show my work to give you the conclusion. Knowing the answer to a complicated problem is meaningless if you can't explain your process."

A light chuckle escaped the entity's lips, but he didn't say any more on the topic. Sure, Dyon's words were correct, but who but him would dare to attempt to correct the course of a transcendent? Not to mention the fact the entity wasn't just a normal transcendent, it was an Origin Transcendent. His status was unmatched throughout the entire immortal plane save for a very select few.

Under normal circumstances, a mortal would be so awed by what they saw that they could believe that this world was the pinnacle of perfection.

"This world is my origin source. It's the culmination of all of my life's work. It's my pain and sorrow, it's my happiness and pleasure, it's my dream.

"You see chaos as the utmost evil. To you, it's the end of the world, the destruction of all things and the conclusion of everything good. But, to me, there in lies a beauty refined to such a high level that it can make you lose yourself in the moment.

"Chaos doesn't signify the end, it signifies the beginning. It's the conclusion of things as we know it, and the start of things as we wish it.

"Do you know how array alchemy came to be?"

Dyon shook his head.

"Have you noticed that as your dao becomes more refined, it begins to form complex symbols? Those symbols are the Laws of the universe. The more refined your dao becomes, the more of the inner truths of the universe will be possible for you to replicate.

"Size, brightness, profundity. These are the three facets that decide the quality and power of your dao. However, size and brightness are only taken into account by fools who do not understand that both stem from the root cause: profundity.

"The more profound your dao, the more size is needed to incapsulate its beauty. The more profound your dao, the greater the universe resonates with it, and thus the brighter it becomes.

"Your First Senior Brother may not be the only talented individual I've ever met, but he's the only one I've respected to the very bottom of my heart. In fact, he is the only person I've ever loved in my life, and its because his mind was so amazing The way he thought about things, the way he solved problems, the way he treated those around him."

The entity's voice became suffused with pain to the point where Dyon could hear its voice failing it.

Dyon was almost certain that the entity was a man. However, this love he felt for his First Brother was clearly very deep. Whether it was romantic or not, Dyon didn't know. But, it hardly mattered. The reality was that this entity had a deep love for his elder brother, and clearly, this elder brother was taken from him.

Evidently, the entity didn't feel up to or care to elaborate as it simply continued.

"Your First Senior Brother had such a profound understanding of these arrays that he could analyze almost anything in existence before replicating and manipulating it to perfection.

"He reached a level of One with Existence, so profound that he was able to take concepts only a transcendent should understand, and simplify them to the extent that even you, little adorable junior brother of mine, can practice array alchemy on your own.

"That's what a true genius is. The cycle of cultivation has always been complex, but one thing will always be true. Finding complexity in the simple, before finding simplicity in the complex That will always be the singular truth.

"My absorbing this universe never had anything to do with your talents, or else I would have never let you take them away.

"I didn't choose this universe because of it was the most talented universe ever either. I chose it because it was the only universe in its infancy It was that exact simplistic beginning I needed.

"I'm not the genius my senior brother was. But, I have to succeed where he couldn't. Not for the sake of glory or to etch my name into history, but so that I can finally lay his memory to rest properly.

"My senior brother thought that array alchemy was the answer, but in the end, it cost him his life.

"I'll follow a different path and create the world he wanted with my own two hands."
