"I refuse to accept it!"

  …!

  Yes! He refused his own destiny! He knew it wasn't false as the Grand Dao of Destiny wouldn't lie, but he refused it nonetheless as it didn't make sense.

  With everything he had, how could his Destiny be so abysmal?

  Even though he continued to ask himself this, he couldn't come to an answer as the Grand Dao he just learned didn't tell him specific details of what would be occurring, and it just mentioned his own end result!

  "Noah…"

  Annalise voiced out carefully as she came beside him, her eyes holding a hint of worry as he was taken out of his daze. He saw the love and care in his sister's eyes as he tried his best to smile.

  "It's nothing. I just saw something unexpected with my Destiny, that's all."

  His voice was low as he patted her head, his sister knowing there was something else but as he didn't share, she left it alone as she merely nodded!

  She knew her brother's nature very well, where most of the time he would be carefree and laughing as him getting angry or losing his cool was very rare! For this to happen right now……it should have been something major.

  Annalise knew this as she clenched her fists and spoke to him with a straight face.

  "Whatever Destiny you saw, you can always change it. You've been able to do unbelievable things so far, and this will just be another one!"

  RUMBLE!

  Her words struck into Noah's heart as he looked deeply at this sister of his and nodded, keeping her close as he turned his eyes above him.and stared at the cloud of darkness that hung over him.

  Not an ounce of gold in it could be seen in it as a myriad of thoughts crossed Noah's mind.

  He could change it. He had to change it!

  'I need to move faster.'

  He had been moving rapidly in the past days and weeks as he made great progress, dancing around the Hegemonies searching for him with ease as he thought everything was under his grasp.

  'But what more can I do? I'm practically climbing through Realms at ridiculous speeds, and I'll continue to climb even higher and reach the Galactic Filament Realm and the Universal Realm in the next few weeks or months at most!'

  It was a frustrating feeling when you were doing everything you were supposed to, even crossing through Realms that others spent tens of years to cross in a matter of days or weeks, and yet…


  The light of destiny flickered in his eyes as he continued to search for something. Anything that would allow the cloud of darkness to have rays of gold, anything that might ensure that his path truly didn't end in destruction!

  WAA!

  A thought crossed his mind as he tested many possibilities, barely seeing glimpses of gold pouring in when he thought of different paths to take.

  'Not there……not that either……that doesn't work!'

  Frustration welled up in his face more and more as his eyes continued to search, his heVt face only becoming lighter when he saw small rays of gold wash down over the dark clouds for some possibilities.

  There were…


  "Influence and power…"

  He uttered the words slowly as his blue eyes continued to shine with gold.

  Influence! Not just over the Sublunary Plane, but the Empyrean and Celestial Planes within this Chaotic Universe! And then thereafter……he had to go for the other Universes that were contained within this Cosmos he was in!

  After all of this was over, he had to also stretch his fingers across Dimensions into even more Cosmos! Just this thought on what his direction could be caused small rays of golden light to disperse some of the darkness, but the darkness was still potent as it didn't fade away.

  "We'll take the first steps slowly……let's go."

  He spoke towards Annalise as they began to walk towards the Runic magic circle, recalling his Units as they returned to the Destined Realm.

  As Noah left, he had a decisive expression as he already began to make a move. The purpose of this move was to allow him to move even faster than before!

  Initially, he planned to continue working undercover and completely turn everything in the Golden Destiny Conclave into subjugations, but now he had to take a risk based off of information he had gathered in the past few days and follow another path? forward.

  With his immense breadth of knowledge about the powers and Realms he had gained from the Legacy of the Great Usurper about this Chaotic Universe and the Cosmos it belonged to, he could begin making moves right now based on this knowledge.

  One of these ways……was to play the fact that among the powerhouses out there, all of them were moving with their own aims for power and strength!

  They all had shattered alliances that were forged for mutual benefits, and if he could play these well enough……he should be able to speed up even faster on his path.

  There was one such card he could play right now in this Golden Destiny Conclave as at this moment, one of the powerhouses that was even prominent in the Celestial Plane was currently stationed at the core of this Conclave!

  At this moment, light steps could be heard as from one of the Golden halls leading to the command room of the most important structure of power in the Golden Destiny Conclave, a Subjugated Elder was walking toward the commanding figure of a Hegemony with purpose.

  The consciousness of the Elder had long been taken over as Noah was utilizing [Authority of the Dominator] to walk within this boat as if it was his own, not walking too far before the Hegemony situated in one of the many chairs surrounding a huge oval crystalline table raised her brows towards him!

  "You have something to report?"

  Her dark hair cascaded down her shoulders beautifully as her gaze would entice many, but Noah returned his impassive expression as he voiced out slowly while he cast [Mind Realm] [Absolute Mental Isolation Field].

  The Hegemony raised her brow even further at this as seeing the 'weak' Realm of GALAXY of this being, she didn't raise a finger as her eyes actually lit up, seeing that something interesting was about to happen amidst her boredom!

  But the words to come out of this Elder were nothing like she expected as her repression quickly changed.

  "You've been chasing me with such fervor that you'd think you would notice when I'm a few feet away from you."

  RUMBLE

  In a calm manner, Noah began to walk forward slowly, coming face to face with a powerful Hegemony as he tried to pull the strings of destiny and change an apparently abysmal future!
