Nexus Ascension: My Comprehension Defies the Heaven

Chapter 624: Central Hub Of The 12th Plane Of Existence

”That’s all I know!” Vexus said desperately. ”Please spare my life!”

Grey stared at him for a long moment.

Then he waved his hand.

Axiom Power wrapped around Vexus and the remaining survivors of his fleet. Before any of them could react, they vanished from where they stood. He didn’t eliminate them but sent them far off into the Chaos.

Alissa flew over in her dragon form, her scales still gleaming with frost energy.

”You let them go?” She asked with surprise.

Grey nodded.

”They’ll spread word of what happened here and others won’t come mess with us that easily anymore.” He said. ”And making enemies out of a 12th Plane of Universe from the get go might be a bad idea. It could lead to others ”

Alissa considered his reasoning and nodded slowly.

Then, Grey sensed the Origin Will awakening

Grey and Alissa returned to the Nexus Domain, where the Origin Will’s presence soon descended before them.

Her form looked different now.

The golden light that comprised her existence burned brighter than before, more refined and powerful. The ascension to the 12th plane had transformed her fundamentally.

”How do you feel?” Grey asked.

Origin Will took a moment to consider her answer.

”Strange.” She said slowly. ”I can sense things I couldn’t before. The fabric of reality feels different now, It’s more detailed and complex.”

She looked at her own hands with wonder.

”I feel like I’ve been looking at the world through foggy glass my entire existence.” She continued. ”Now that glass has been removed, and everything is crystal clear.”

Grey nodded with understanding.

”That’s the difference between dimensional planes.” He said. ”Higher existence grants higher perception.”

Origin Will’s expression shifted to something more serious.

”There’s something else.” She said. ”After the ascension, I was able to communicate with nearby Origin Wills for the first time.”

Grey raised an eyebrow at this.

”They told me about a place.” Origin Will continued. ”A central gathering point for all universes in the 12th plane of existence.”

”A central hub?” Alissa asked from beside Grey.

Origin Will nodded.

”It’s called exactly that, the Central Hub.” She explained. ”Almost all universes in this dimensional plane are connected to it. The other Origin Wills said registration there is essential.”

Grey’s interest sparked immediately.

”Registration?” He repeated.

”Yes.” Origin Will said. ”Universes that register receive certain perks and protections. Trade routes, information networks, access to resources that only exist at this level.”

”I also heard that the envoys from the Higher Realms are stationed there.” She added. ”The Myriad Realm Sect and other organizations conduct their recruitment from the Central Hub.”

The envoys.

Those people had to be at the 13th or 14th rank at minimum. His current 12th rank power wouldn’t work against beings of that caliber.

Although, he doubted they could use their full power here.

This was the lower world after all. Higher ranked beings faced suppression when descending to lower planes, their strength limited by the dimensional ceiling.

Still, he hoped that these people won’t just be some arrogant people and make it difficult for him in the long run. In a world full of mentally disabled people he hoped people from the Upper Realm will be better than people here.

He looked forward to meeting them.

Grey turned to Alissa with a slight smile.

”What do you say Alissa?” He asked. ”Should we go there?”

”If you want to go, then go.” She said. ”I’ll follow you.”

”Alright, we’re going then.” He said.

They left the Nexus Domain together, heading toward the Reality Ship’s docking station. Alan was already there waiting for them, as if he had known they would come.

”Master Grey.” Alan greeted with a respectful nod. ”I sensed the Origin Will’s awakening. Are we heading to the Central Hub?”

Grey blinked at his words.

”You knew about it?” He asked.

But on the other hand, it made sense.

Alan smiled at his words.

”I can use this opportunity to activate my clone there.”

Grey’s lips twitched hearing this.

”Oh, so you’ve really been there before.” He said.

Alan was no ordinary existence.

The one traveling with them was merely a clone, a fragment of something far greater. If Grey’s suspicions were correct, the real Alan resided somewhere in the Higher Realms.

Grey had never bothered going into details before.

”Shall we depart?” Alan asked.

Grey nodded.

”Let’s go.”

They boarded the Reality Ship, and Alan took his place at the controls. The coordinates Origin Will had provided were already loaded into the navigation system.

The ship hummed to life.

Space folded around them as the Reality Ship accelerated beyond normal speeds. Dimensional barriers parted like curtains, allowing them passage through the Chaos between universes.

The journey took longer than Grey expected.

The Central Hub existed in a special location, a fixed point that all 12th plane universes could access. Reaching it required quite a lot of travelling.

Finally, the ship slowed.

”We’re here.” Alan announced.

Grey looked through the viewing window, and his eyes widened slightly.

The Central Hub was massive.

It wasn’t a planet or a station. It was an entire artificial dimension, a constructed reality that stretched endlessly in all directions. Countless structures floated in the dimension, buildings and towers and palaces of every architectural style imaginable.

Pathways of pure light connected everything together, forming a network that pulsed with energy. Ships from countless universes docked at designated ports, their designs varying wildly from one another.

And the people.

Beings of every race and origin walked those glowing pathways. Some looked human, others were clearly not. Power radiated from most of them, auras that marked them as experts of the 10th rank and above.

Grey was sure that he might just encounter someone from the Mecha Race here.

”This is where the entire 12th plane of existence’s top gathers.” Alan explained. ”Every major faction, every powerful universe, every significant organization has a presence here.”

He gestured toward a massive crystalline building in the distance.

”That’s the Path Repository.” He continued. ”All the top evolutionary paths in the 12th plane of existence are recorded there. There is also a ranking for them.”

Grey’s attention locked onto that building immediately.

A repository of evolutionary paths.

He could use this time opportunity to spread his path here as well. Although he doubted people would consider cultivating his path since it only had 9 ranks.

But one question appeared in his mind.

”What about the Primordial Evolutionary Paths?” Grey asked. ”Can they be found here?”
