Nexus Ascension: My Comprehension Defies the Heaven

Chapter 578: Helios, 12th plane of existence, 10th ranking seniors

The transfer to Helios was straightforward. This time, Grey wasn’t alone. Alissa had come along with him, saying she wanted to see the place where the people from his world gathered, and to see whether they were all as strange and powerful as he was.

They all stepped into the world source power portal together. The Spirit Ancestor was with them as well. Apparently, he had some business of his own to handle in Helios.

Throughout the trip, Alissa stayed close to Grey, throwing random glares at Islode, who glared right back at her. The two grown adults were locked in a glaring war for reasons Grey could not grasp at all. He decided it was safer not to ask.

Then their vision began to shift drastically. The moment it did, Alissa felt dizzy and immediately clutched onto Grey.

This was normal. Even Grey had felt disoriented the first time he entered the portal.

Sensing her state, Grey swiftly took hold of Alissa, keeping her from slipping into the chaos outside. That was something that could very well happen if one wasn’t careful, and the chaos outside the transit stream was nothing a person could simply swim back out of.

Alissa felt Grey holding tightly onto her, anchoring her amidst the disorienting spin of their transit. As the turbulence finally began to settle, her tense expression softened into a small sigh of relief.

Once their blurred vision cleared, they found themselves standing in a place that looked, at first glance, like any other planet. But as they truly took in their surroundings, they realized the landscape was far vaster than any world they had ever known. The ground stretched endlessly toward a horizon that seemed to defy physical limits. Standing right there, they could clearly see places that were several light years away, and every one of those impossibly distant locations held some massive glowing structure or distinct engineered region built into it. Distance itself seemed to mean something different here.

It was, without a doubt, a highly advanced technological realm as well. Grey gazed outward and saw colossal skyscrapers built from gleaming alien alloys, shooting straight up and piercing the sky. Above the towering skyline, the atmosphere hummed with constant, heavy traffic. Massive spaceships soared in and out of the world, moving with a speed that visibly warped the space around them. Watching the unique energy ripples they created as they breached the atmosphere, Grey understood at a glance that these were reality ships.

”Welcome to the 12th plane of existence,” the Spirit Ancestor spoke. ”You must have noticed it already, Saint Grey. Your powers are heavily restricted here, aren’t they?”

”Yep. I can sense it,” Grey replied.

The powers he possessed were far more restricted than before. The suppression wasn’t violent or forceful. It was simply the natural weight of this plane pressing down on everything within it, the same way water pressed down on whatever sank into the deep sea.

If it was already like this here, he couldn’t imagine the higher worlds that existed in a completely different space-time.

The scale of existence was truly endless, and now that he stood in the 12th plane himself, he finally understood it. Even his dao generation power was not enough here.

His speed was severely dulled, and so was his ability to manipulate space. The space of this plane was simply far more stable, woven tighter than anything he had touched before.

Speaking of which, it might finally be time to comprehend the Divine Law of Space. It would be useful in places exactly like this one. It could match a Great Circle expert, after all. And if he pushed it to Major, it could directly transcend into the dao stages.

Alissa, meanwhile, had not yet realized the full effects of the 12th plane of existence.

In this realm, a 5th rank being was considered the starting point. That was the rule of this place. The dao here, along with the powerhouses dwelling in this plane, had long normalized being born with 5th rank strength. The reason was simple. A 4th rank simply could not survive in this space-time continuum. Their bodies would be ground down by the sheer density of reality itself.

”Don’t let go, Alissa,” Grey said with a careful smile. ”This place is like the World Tree world. It will take time to get used to it.”

”You can hold tightly onto my hand,” he added with a laugh. ”Or I can princess carry you as well. Your wish.”
