Chapter 200 – Completion of Creation
Chapter 200 – Completion of Creation
: : Have the Twelve Constellations returned beneath the Seat? : :
Dong—! Dong—! Dong—!
The will of the Chaos Constellation muttered, sensing that the true bodies of the Twelve Constellations had returned to the true body of the Chaos Constellation along with Lee Hanseong, who had ascended.
The true bodies of the Twelve Constellations had each become a step, gathered below the imperial throne, the Imperial Seat, positioned at the center of the universe.
Twelve steps and the highest throne.
It was the same as the pyramidal altar within Mirinae’s consciousness that Lee Hanseong had seen through borrowed power when Mirinae had fallen asleep in the past.
“You’re telling me to climb up.”
And Lee Hanseong, who had appeared at the starting point of the steps, muttered while glaring at the throne.
Though not yet visible, since his [Infinity] had already reached the throne, he knew that Mirinae and the three Main Gods of the Chaos Constellation were waiting there.
Ascending the twelve steps and reuniting with Infinity, which had already taken its place on the throne, would complete the Ascension and fulfill the challenge of the Imperial Seat.
However, the challenge of the Imperial Seat was similar to an Apostle Duel but had a few differences.
The Imperial Seat, the throne, was not a place that only one person could occupy, unlike the Apostle positions of the Twelve Constellations.
It did not proceed in a format of contention like an Apostle Duel.
Even if Lee Hanseong ascended the throne, those already on the throne would not necessarily fall.
Thud.
Lee Hanseong placed his foot on the first step.
It was the step of the Abyss, formed from the true body of the Darkness Constellation.
The lowest layer, which interpreted Void as the essence of the world, sucked in his Starlight like a black hole.
He could have resisted if he wanted to, but Lee Hanseong did not resist the step’s suction.
Because he trusted Blundell, who had become the Apostle of the Darkness Constellation.
Whoosh—!
Thanks to that, he could see the world of Void, where forgotten things assimilated with the Abyss gathered.
Not only the Outer Gods that had targeted the Otherworld and Earth until now, but also countless similar Outer Gods beyond the pitch-black Abyss, yearned for Ascension—no, for the completion of Creation.
Having become similar to an Outer God himself, Lee Hanseong understood their situation well.
“They were all worlds that couldn’t be recorded and were forgotten.”
Now that Lee Hanseong had reached the state of naming the world and assimilating with it, he could see the essence of the Outer Gods.
The world where Lee Hanseong and Mirinae existed might have fallen into the same state as them if things had gone slightly wrong.
“Everything I thought was 13-Star until now was an incomplete state.”
Both the Chaos Constellation at its peak and the Outer Gods were only infinitely close to Grade 13-Star, insufficient to be called true 13-Stars.
Yet, one thing was correct: the terminology.
The reason 12-Star is the Main God and 13-Star is the Creator God.
It was because to become a true 13-Star, one must achieve Creation through the infinite possibilities contained within the Chaos Imperial Seat that exists in each world.
“If Creation fails, you become an Outer God, and worlds where Creation is incomplete become targets for Outer Gods.”
The very existence of the Chaos Imperial Seat proved that Creation was not complete.
Only worlds that had concluded Creation could position themselves on a transcendent dimensional layer and escape all Outer Gods.
And Lee Hanseong, who had been the Key of the Seat from birth, was the final piece to complete this world’s incomplete Creation.
Thanks to that, Lee Hanseong could transcend oblivion and ascend to the next step.
Thud.
The second step was the step of the Netherworld, the Abyss, formed from the Heavenly Slaughter Constellation.
The essence of the world as interpreted by the Heavenly Slaughter Constellation was death.
As he set foot on the second step, the world of dead Spirits unfolded before his eyes.
“The world of dead stars left behind when Spirits who died and became stars were annihilated.”
A world where beings who had reached death but were not yet completely forgotten wandered.
Lee Hanseong, who had been in a state similar to an Outer God on the step of the Abyss, had now been reborn into a state similar to a dead star.
He understood the dead stars that had the possibility of resurrection someday because they were not forgotten.
Based on that understanding, he lightly transcended death and ascended to the next step.
In this world where resurrection and revival were relatively easy, death was not heavy either.
“It’s not bad for now, but this too must be one aspect of incomplete Creation.”
The fact that death does not function as true death must also be one of the reasons why Creation is not complete.
Thud.
The third step was the step of dreams, the fantasy of the Wind Constellation.
Lee Hanseong, who had been a dead star, now became a sleeping star.
“No, ‘dreaming star’ would be a more fitting title than ‘sleeping star.’”
Originally, dreams are thoroughly separated from reality, so even if causality is distorted and filled with Disorder, it’s not a problem.
But in this incomplete world where Creation is not concluded, the boundary between dream and reality is blurred, and dreams often invade reality.
Lee Hanseong easily transcended dreams and ascended to the fourth step.
Thud. Thud.
No, he ascended not only to the fourth step but also to the next step without hesitation.
On the step of illusion formed by the causality of the Lunar Constellation, from a dreaming star to a projected star.
On the step of phenomena formed by the Achievement of the Clay Constellation, from a projected star to an Empty Star.
Transcending causality and Achievement without difficulty, he advanced without stopping.
He had recovered his Grade from the Void similar to an Outer God back to the layer of an existing being.
Thud. Thud. Thud.
The Empty Star that gained a body on the step of the Steel Throne achieved Body Reformation and became 2-Star.
The 2-Star that filled its Mental Image on the step of the Golden Constellation engraved countless Starlight Circuits within and became 4-Star.
The 4-Star that gained attributes on the step of the Epicenter Throne embraced Taixu and became 6-Star.
As if compressing the Promotion process, he built up his Grade anew, bit by bit, starting from Void.
Thud. Thud. Thud.
On the step of the Sun Constellation, he gained Divinity, transcended race, and became an 8-Star Demi-God.
On the step of the North Star Constellation, he completed his Divinity, transcended fate, and became a 10-Star Quasi-God.
On the step of the Wheel Constellation, he regained the Authority [Infinity], transcended fate, and became an 11-Star True God.
Thud.
And on the final step of the Brilliance Constellation, he transcended truth, that is, Authority, and recovered his Grade to a 12-Star Main God.
Lee Hanseong, who had repeated the journey from the negative of Void to the Main God in a compressed manner, now stood before the throne.
“Mirinae. I’ve finally risen to the same eye level as you.”
Seeing the two figures seated on the massive throne, Lee Hanseong approached close to the throne.
One was Mirinae, who had achieved Trinity with her other two Aspects, Möbius and Maya, and the other was the true body of Infinity that Lee Hanseong had separated.
The two seemed to have their eyes closed, focusing only on handling the true body of the Chaos Constellation to oppose the Outer God’s true body.
Swoosh— Tap.
Reaching out, he first touched the true body of Infinity, which had been separated as the third stage of Infinity, ‘Exuviation of Infinity.’
Perhaps that was the trigger.
Lee Hanseong’s Infinity reached its final stage.
Fwoosh—!
Infinity Stage 4. ‘Master of Infinity.’
It was a state that embodied the paradox of a non-infinite humanity, which could only bear an 11-Star level Vessel and mind, containing Infinity.
“Ahhh….”
The infinitely expanding mind gained Insight into the truth of the world.
The truth was that this world should have perished long ago and fallen into becoming just another Outer God.
“What?”
It would have been so if Mirinae hadn’t stopped it.
Through [Primordial Chaos], she was connecting this world with various transcendent dimensions that had completed Creation, postponing the world’s destruction.
By sending this world’s records in various forms to transcendent dimensions, she sustained the incomplete world through the observation of those transcendent dimensions.
Vrrrrrr—
Through the Dream Chaos Divine Realm, Lee Hanseong could glimpse the transcendent dimensions.
In one transcendent dimension, it was in the form of a game; in another, a novel.
Elsewhere, as a comic, a video, someone’s dream, a delusion….
Through various media and methods, this world was being observed.
Click. Click.
The faint sound of clicks.
Tap-tap— Tap-tap.
The sound of typing on a keyboard.
: : ■■■■■■ : :
Voices and wills that even the current Lee Hanseong, who had fully Grasped Infinity, could not understand, and more.
The will generated by those observing this world from transcendent dimensions itself became Fortune outside causality, extending the world’s fate.
“But this sounds familiar…?”
He realized that the clicking sound he heard whenever he used Fortune-type abilities was no different from this.
It seemed that actively inducing intervention from transcendent dimensions was the principle of Fortune-type abilities.
Thinking that, he felt the influence of transcendent dimensions in other aspects as well.
“Could it be that too…?!”
It wouldn’t be strange to think that the ease of resurrection in this world and the lightness of death were also due to the influence of transcendent dimensions observing it as a game.
Perhaps the reason the Twelve Constellations interpreted the essence of the world differently also lay here.
Since different transcendent dimensions observed in different ways, the interpretable essence of the world could also vary accordingly.
Through this, one more fact became clear.
While the observation from transcendent dimensions was certainly a great help to the world’s survival, as long as the observation continued, the completion of Creation was impossible.
No matter how it was observed in transcendent dimensions, from the perspective of all transcendent dimensions, this world was merely a lower dimension.
The influence stemming from their perspective fixed this world as a lower-dimensional world, like a kind of Law.
: : But now, your observation is no longer needed. : :
Having ascended the Imperial Seat and become close to 13-Star, Lee Hanseong began severing the connections with most of the transcendent dimensions that Mirinae had linked to their world.
Now, even without their observation, he could complete Creation on his own and ascend to a transcendent dimension.
Tap-tap-tap-tap!
Starting from the transcendent dimension observing in the easiest-to-intervene game format, the connections with most transcendent dimensions observing through individual delusions or dreams, where altered causality easily flowed, were severed.
However, if all observation were cut off immediately, the postponed destruction of the world might begin at once, so he left the observation of one transcendent dimension.
Thus, leaving only the connection with the sole transcendent dimension observing in the form of a web novel.
: : From now on, I will conclude Creation. : :
The Creation of the Seat began moving toward completion.
* * *
The moment the incompletely halted Creation resumed.
The Outer God’s true body could no longer interfere with the true body of the Chaos Constellation.
: : !$@*&($@!$ : :
Even when trying to exert influence, they existed in different phases and could not affect each other at all.
Amidst the Outer God, who seemed enraged at having almost grasped the Seat, screaming in a bizarre voice.
The true body of the Chaos Constellation, ignoring the Outer God, grasped World: Lee Hanseong and World: Mirinae in both hands.
Shoooosh—!
It intended to connect the two worlds, which maintained a linkage like twin galaxies, into one to complete Creation.
Just like the Trinity Mirinae and Lee Hanseong seated like a married couple on the Imperial Seat.
Imagining a world in the shape of an elliptical galaxy with two centers, he also merged the names of the two worlds into one.
The name followed Mirinae’s opinion.
Mirinae’s galaxy is also called the Milky Way (Milky Way). Combining that with your name, Hanseong, let’s call it World: Eunhanseong.”
“Alright.”
Shoooosh—!
Soon, the true body of the Chaos Constellation wrapped around World: Eunhanseong like an egg.
‘Only when both the world and the Constellation become one can they reach a transcendent dimension.’
Next, it was time to narrow the distance between the Constellation and the world.
Since Lee Hanseong, originally Mirinae’s Apostle, had left the world and ascended to the Imperial Seat, the distance between the Chaos Constellation and the world was bound to increase.
To maintain Grasp of the Seat, Lee Hanseong could not leave the Seat, nor could he return to Earth.
But there are Apostles for gods who cannot move directly.
‘I have no choice but to make those closest to me our Apostles.’
First, sending the Apostles of the Twelve Constellations who had Contracts with him down to Eunhanseong.
And selecting new Apostles to become the earthly representatives of Mirinae and her other two Aspects, Möbius and Maya.
The party members who had been with Lee Hanseong since the early days of the Regression were exactly the candidates.
Uuuung.
Since Yu Sehee was a True God of the Brilliance Constellation belonging to Primordial Chaos and Seras’s Contractor, Mirinae directly made her her Apostle.
Since Park Seongcheol was Dice’s Contractor, a True God of the Darkness Constellation belonging to Primordial Fusion, he was made Möbius’s Apostle.
Since Jin Yuseong had met all conditions to Contract with Loki, a True God of the Wind Constellation belonging to Dream Chaos, after intermediating a new Contract with him, he was made Maya’s Apostle.
Moreover, among the Galaxy Guild members, there were quite a few connected to Infinity.
‘This should be enough.’
The distance between World: Eunhanseong and the Chaos Constellation had also become sufficiently close.
Gooooooooooo!!!!
World: Eunhanseong, on the verge of completing Creation, and the Chaos Constellation immediately began ascending toward a transcendent dimension.
“Let’s be together forever from now on, Mirinae.”
―I gladly accept, Hanseong.
Amidst that ascent, Lee Hanseong leaned his shoulder against Mirinae seated beside him, looked into her eyes at the same eye level, and promised each other eternity.
.
.
.
Soon, as their world reached the layer of a transcendent dimension, even the observation from the transcendent dimension that had been observing them until the very end was severed.
It was the moment one Creation was completed.

The novel feels a bit rushed, but I have to say the end is very meta.
