It was steeper than any other drop. He could feel the stage of 'life' plummet. The divine and celestials were different stages of a being.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wouldn't have hurt if he never knew what being a divine ranker felt like. He not only knew a typical divine, he also knew what a peak rank 2 was like.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Falling from the peak to celestial rank 9 was hard for Varian to adjust. He felt like a cripple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thankfully, he had something to focus on and he received all the support in the world from his wives.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We overlooked some very important things.\" Isadora said in the garden, gesturing to Aurora.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The latter played a holographic display of her origin—perfectly fine except for a crack. It was now contrasted against the second display—Varian's half-shattered origin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I wouldn't have survived more than a week without brother-in-law's intervention.\" Aurora said affectionately before pointing to his origin. \"His origin is in a terrible condition and it's been two weeks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The research he brought shows even a slight damage to Origin is a quick death. Why is he different? This secret holds the key.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Being a peak rank 2?\" Sia opined.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian shook his head. \"A low rank 2 once faced this situation according to Aion. He died quickly. Everyone is equal before origin.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The usually silent Enigma spoke up. \"Maybe having multiple paths?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmmm.\" Sarah had a thoughtful look. \"How do you still have multiple paths after Logos left? Your rank fell but all the paths remain. It's strange.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That's a good point.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian had always been with multiple paths and he took it for granted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Isadora spoke up. \"Each sliver has a unique ability. Logos can give you multiple paths. Samsara gives a kind of immortality. The slivers of space and time should have something of their own.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But each ability is unique. You should not be able to replicate it now. There is something we're overlooking.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian closed his eyes and sank his consciousness into origin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They're right. He's doing what only Logos was capable of doing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he wasn't doing anything. At least not consciously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He saw it again. His single origin appeared simultaneously on three avenues, holding all the paths.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just like when Logos was present.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could feel something influencing origin, letting it manifest as three. That something felt similar to Logos but note quite.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'The power of order and chaos…but Logos isn't here…no, my origin is doing it by itself.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But no person should be able to replicate slivers! Slivers were of the highest quality. They were like incarnation of the paths themselves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You could be a great space awakener. But the space sliver was of the highest quality of law there could be.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even as a peak rank 2, Varian's quality of a path was lower than the corresponding sliver.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And yet, his origin was doing something impossible. It was replicating the path at the quality of sliver.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian recalled a conversation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[What is the goal of slivers?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There are many reasonings. Many see us as a way to breakthrough to higher ranks.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(I want to be more important than just an XP boost! Var, find something!)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Slivers themselves didn't know what their 'purpose' was. But it's clear that they're the highest of paths.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Why is my origin acting like this?'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was it because of the experiments conducted by Aion? Or perhaps the knowledge he gained from him?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In today's Eden, Varian was the only one with solid knowledge of Origin. He inherited the knowledge Heaven tribe painstakingly researched for tens of millions of years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Logos' and Samsara's powers made an impression on his origin. Like a mark left behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It's still faint for Samsara. But Logos left a much more distinct mark. His origin was trying to imitate the sliver.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And it's succeeding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The quality matched even though the quantity was pitifully small. That's why he wasn't able to feel anything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the slivers remained, he'd have never noticed it due to the low quantity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only because everything was gone and his power fell so much that he was able to notice this tiny produce.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Why is my origin like this? No, what is origin even supposed to be?'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The origin of universe and the origin of a living being…\" Varian muttered, his eyes lighting up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Slivers were created from Primordial gods, who themselves were born from the universe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In that sense, slivers were created from and linked to this 'origin' of the universe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And each being also had an origin. Where did it come from? The origin of the universe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The slivers, the individual origin and cosmic origin were all linked!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just like how the cosmic origin created slivers, Varian's origin was trying to create slivers—it only barely succeeded because of two reasons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Logos stayed with him for so long.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And he had immense knowledge of Origin alongside the experiments he endured.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Currently, he wasn't able to stop his paths from falling because he didn't have the slivers of order and chaos. But if he could create his own 'slivers', then—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I can do it!\" Varian stood up, yelling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn't specify what but the faces of the women lit up and they all jumped at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hortus was basked in laughter and joy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the next two weeks, Varian's rank dropped from celestial rank 9 to celestial rank 3. But he showed no worry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Using his knowledge of origin and his intimate knowledge of Logos, he started using his origin to 'produce' the slivers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He found something weird.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Producing sliver of order or sliver of chaos individually was far easier. This much was expected. But they weren't able to affect origin at all!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thankfully, he could directly 'create' the slivers of order and chaos, the fused version. It's much harder and very time taking. But this was able to affect origin, though lightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What did the fused order and chaos have that the individual order and chaos did not?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian was struck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He seemed to have stumbled on an answer but it quickly slipped away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Again and again and again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ultimately, he didn't dwell on it and focused on creating more and more strands of the fused slivers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One. Two. Ten. Twenty…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A week later, Varian's power dropped to rank 1.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To relax his mind, he was strolling with Sia when a strong attack breached into Hortus!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The attack of a powerful divine ranker!\u003C\u002Fp>",1079,"2026-06-06T07:59:03.669Z",1,"novelbin.me","e5117cf852c6be127e2cf1ffb9c277308b28a772411ebb33eead8b943f6351bc","divine-path-system-chapter-1763","divine-path-system-chapter-1761",1773,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fdivine-path-system-cover.jpg"]
