"Now, since we only want to expand Pantheos," Thalion said, "then there is no need for a true Hypercosm. We just need to make your verse have the potential of one."

Nia nodded, her dark eyes gleaming with focused determination as she finally stepped closer to the Infinite Resource Fountain.

The towering structure responded immediately to her presence.

HUMMM!!!

Its golden liquid began to swirl faster, cascading down the crystalline tiers with renewed intensity, as if the fountain itself was eagerly awaiting her desires.

Like always, it moved purely based on what was desired — no commands needed, only clear intent.

Thalion’s voice was steady and precise as he guided her, one item at a time.

"First... a Core of Pure Potential. Something that allows you to set the potential of what you assimilate — limitless growth without upper bounds."

The fountain’s liquid surged, condensing into a small, radiant orb that floated toward Nia.

It pulsed with raw, untamed possibility — a perfect sphere of golden-white energy that seemed to contain every future that could ever be.

"Next... a Narrative Core. Something that allows your verse to grow independently, creating its own narrative, its own stories, its own fate without external interference."

With another surge....

A second orb formed — this one darker, threaded with silver and void-black strands, humming with the quiet power of self-sustaining stories and endless plots.

"Finally... an Infinite Divine Loom. Something that gives you ultimate world-building power within your own domain — the ability to weave entire stories into existence with perfect precision."

HUMMMMMMM!!!!

The fountain responded with its strongest surge yet.

Then, a beautiful, intricate loom materialized — a grand, floating artifact of glowing golden threads and dark wood, its frame etched with shifting runes.

It radiated the pure essence of creation, ready to turn raw potential into living worlds.

Nia held the three items in her hands, her expression eager and satisfied as she felt their immense power.

"Then let’s get started, Old man."

With a wave of her hand, she opened a grand portal, bringing Thalion, Elowen, and the three artifacts into her own reality — the massive, bubbling Endless Reality she had forged from devoured realities.

They appeared right in the ever-growing world molded in Ash’s image.

Once settled, Nia let the three artifacts drift at her side — the Core of Pure Potential, the Narrative Core, and the Infinite Divine Loom — each glowing softly with a sense of quiet anticipation.

Elowen adjusted her glasses, looking around with scholarly fascination before asking,

"So, what design do you have in mind for this new realm?"

Nia’s dark eyes gleamed as she spoke, her voice carrying clear vision and ambition.

"It needs to be something obviously above the Endless Realities. Which means it needs to be something beyond Omnipotence itself. Which only leaves the Meta Road."

She paused, her expression turning more serious.

"By now, like Ashy, we are all on the first stage of Meta. However, that’s not enough to make an entire realm operate with the power of the Fifth Wall and beyond."

Thalion nodded, his monocle catching the light as he spoke with measured thought.

"Right... and that’s where the Potential Core comes into play."

Nia returned the gesture with a knowing nod, a confident smile curving her lips.

"This place will be called The Eternal Lands," she announced, giving the Third Realm of Power for Pantheos its unofficial title.

"First comes Godhood, then the Endless Realms where we are now, and after that... The Eternal Beings."

She paused, letting the name sink in before sharing more of her vision.

"It’s not just going to be a bigger container. It’ll be a Divine Meta Realm—home to the Realm of Narrative Succession."

Elowen tilted her head, curiosity sparking as she asked,

"Narrative Succession? What does that mean exactly?"

Nia’s smile grew, her dark eyes alight with excitement as she began to explain.

"The Eternal Lands won’t be anything like what’s been seen before," she said, her voice carrying clear vision and ambition.

"Its core purpose is to allow those who have ascended through the Endless Realities to transition into entirely new stories of existence — until they can eventually create their own."

Elowen adjusted her glasses, leaning forward with scholarly curiosity.

"So, it’s like a bridge?" she asked. "A place where beings move from one narrative layer to the next?"

Nia nodded, using her Divinity to draw a mock draft in the air — glowing golden lines forming a simple but clear diagram of Pantheos’ current layers.

"Right now, the Lower Framework consists of the Multiverse, Dimensions, Realities, and then Endless Realities," she explained, pointing to each section as it appeared.

"The official Middle Framework will be the Eternal Lands — the Fifth Layer of Pantheos and also the start of the Third Realm of Power."

Thalion’s monocle caught the light as he examined the diagram, his expression turning to quiet shock.

"This... it’s almost like moving from one novel straight into the next, isn’t it?" he murmured.

"That’s... an incredible leap. But how will you make it stand apart from the Endless Realities?"

Nia’s smile grew as she gestured to expand the diagram.

"Exactly... but the difference—there won’t be any celestial or stellar bodies, nor any landmass except for this main world that resembles my Ashy."

She paused before continuing.

"This will be where all future factions and families reside. Beyond that, all celestial bodies will take the form of Novels, divided into Narrative Themes or Genres."

Elowen’s eyes widened behind her glasses, a mix of fascination and slight disbelief crossing her face.

It went without saying that she learned about novels from Thalion, who, of course, had learned about them through Ash, just like the others.

As they grew stronger, they could also sense and see things that gave them even more proof of this.

"Novels as celestial bodies? Entire genres as separate domains? That’s... incredibly ambitious. How would beings navigate something like that? Would they literally enter stories as if they were worlds?"

Nia chuckled softly, nodding as she clarified.

"Yes. Each ’celestial body’ would be a living Novel — a self-contained story with its own rules, power system, and other things.

Beings could enter them, experience the narrative, influence it, or even transcend it."

She went on to explain that, as mentioned before, the Eternal Lands were ultimately designed to grant the power to create one’s own Novel.

For the beings or cultivators who would one day arrive here, venturing into other Novels wouldn’t diminish their strength or force them to start over.

Instead, they would gain the ability to experience an entirely new power system layered atop the existing framework of Constellations and Gods.

By the time they reached a high enough level of strength, they would have developed a completely unique system for their own Novel.

She also described how the different genres would serve as distinct ’sectors’—Fantasy, Sci-Fi, Horror, Romance, and more—each offering its own unique flavor of existence.

This structure would allow for endless variety while keeping everything tied together under one overarching framework.

Thalion paused, his scholarly mind turning over the idea as he took it in. At last, he spoke, a trace of awe in his tone.

"I have to admit, it’s... brilliant. But also wildly ambitious."

Nia’s confident smile never wavered as she glanced between them.

"That’s exactly the point. It has to be something that helps Ash grow — something that pushes the whole verse fully into the Meta realm. And... The Eternal Lands will be the bridge to make it happen."
