Chapter 577: Three Techqniues
There existed four distinct categories when it came to how one comprehended the path of their concepts, and among them, the most revered and unchanging were the Apex Grade elements—Space, Time, Life, Death, Fate, Destiny ane many more such elements.
These were not mere elemental affinities, but universal forces that had governed existence since the beginning of creation itself.
The concepts under these elements weren’t formed through personal insight or subjective experience like fire, wind, or earth. Instead, they followed an ancient structure, rigid and absolute.
They had laws—immutable, divine laws—laid down during the Primordial Era, and once carved into the fabric of the universe, they had never changed.
For example, Max’s first level Concept of Space was Dimensional Severance—a terrifying power that allowed him to cut across space itself.
But this wasn’t unique to Max. It was not something he invented or stumbled upon through enlightenment. Dimensional Severance was, by law, the universal Level 1 Concept of Space.
Whether one was a lowly mortal beginning their journey or a mighty sovereign cultivating at the edge of the Divine Realm, if they wanted to grasp the Concept of Space, they would all start from Dimensional Severance.
This structure extended beyond the first level. There were five total levels within the Concept of Space, and every single one of them was etched in stone, unchanged and unchangeable across eons.
The same was true for the Concepts of Time, Life, Death, Fate, Destiny and many more. These Apex Grade elements didn’t allow deviation. No creativity. No alternate routes. Only strict adherence to the path set before them.
