Chapter 49: Concept and Cosmic Chat
There was also the mention of the level limit increased at different ranksāyou had to start from Level 1 in each rank. This part wasnāt mentioned properly because most of the book consisted of sexual scenes and endeavors of Lin Fang about how he got new women.
Previously when he had checked the status screen of his master, which he didnāt know he wasnāt supposed to do, he now understood the reason behind it.
According to Lin Fangās journey, there were three types of systems. First, the Lesser System for those below Ascendant rank. After reaching Ascendant rank, the system would get upgraded and reach the Ascendant System.
Finally, after reaching the lesser Divine rank, which meant becoming an immortal god-like existence to those below you, you would get another upgradeāa Cosmic System.
It also told about a Realm which was one rank higher than Prime Divinity. In other words, a Realm above the Divine realm. It was known only to those who had access to the Cosmic system, because of the special features like Chat and Shop, as there were entities even more powerful than them in those chats.
Prime Divinity were only ants in front of them.
Leon had some guesses, but knowing this had broadened his horizons.
But for now, he didnāt focus on this anymore and recalled the important info that he didnāt understand at first.
Concept.
It was also the same thing that had piqued his interest when he had seen it on the information tab of Seraphine.
She had a Level 1 Lightning Aura.
Concepts were divided into three stages.
Form One: Aura (4 Levels) Form Two: Embodiment (3 Levels) Form Three: Domain (3 Levels)
These concepts were the things that held back most of the people in their cultivation journey. Lin Fang mentioned the only reason he was able to become a Lesser Divinity was because he was able to Master a Domain in a secret realm which was only level 1, which enhanced his comprehension capability.
That could only be called a stroke of million-year luck.
He mentioned that even if you consumed hundreds of thousands of monster cores to reach the next ranks, you wouldnāt be able to, as these concepts were the things that separated geniuses with high comprehension abilityābecause of either their bloodline, special physique, or high-affinity rankāfrom normal folks.
Lin Fang explained how grandiose the thing concept was and how strong it could make a person. He even said that crossing the difference in level of concept in fighting was like facing a huge wallāno matter how much you tried, you couldnāt break it.
The idea of the concept fascinated Leon and it also made him see Seraphine in new light now. He had thought with his amount of mana he could defeat her, but now he wasnāt too sure about it.
Leon came out of his time dimension and stored the books inside his inventory. After that, he thanked Lin Fang in his heart as the information he had gotten from this book was priceless along with his other questionable things and techniques about pleasure.
āThat was money well spentā
"I think I know more about this universe now than ever," Leon contemplated.
Now Leon opened the next section, the [Cosmic Chat]. Its name alone gave him ideas of what he should expect from it.
He was excited to see the chat between powerful entities who might be sharing secrets of the universe. He was too excited, so he opened the chat.
A message popped up in front of him.
[Please choose a name for yourself before entering the chat]
Leon thought for a while and he decided that he would use the name of his class, as he knew from before that everyoneās identities were safe in the cosmic system.
So he thought the name Elemental Paragon in his mind as a message popped up once again.
[Are you sure you want to set your username as Elemental Paragon]
[Once selected you will not be able to change your username unless you breakthrough a rank in your cultivation]
Leon didnāt see any problem in this as it felt lenient because in the future he could change his user name if he wanted.
However, he understood one thingāfor normal people who got the cosmic system in the Divine Realm after entering the ranks of Lesser Divinity, it meant once they decided on their user name, they couldnāt change it for thousands of years.
That also explained why most of the people had weird nicknames when he was scrolling through the shop.
āHmm, it might be for trying to keep their identity hidden so no trouble came their way.ā
Leon didnāt think he had to worry about that as he was in a realm so below that no one could ever even guess that someone with a Cosmic system would be in there. He still didnāt understand properly why he had access to the cosmic system.
But one thing was clearāit must be due to merging with the orb of all elemental affinity.
āYesā
After choosing yes for his username, a new message popped up.

Leon looked at the different threads, but all of them were private. He couldnāt join them and see what the people were talking about inside.
He scrolled for a while trying to find if there were any chats that werenāt private. He found oneāthere was a search bar at the left corner too, but he had no idea what to search for, so he only scrolled.

LimbDealer:
Why is every show sold out? The arena is floating in the sky.
EmberStillAlive:
Because itās Elira. She shows up, sparkles, sings one sad song, and people lose their minds.
BoneCollector69:
I died during the second song. Not even mad.
MoonWhoEatsHerself:
You always die. Get a better body already.
MirrorJunkie:
She hit that high note and cracked all seven of my mirrors.
Iām keeping the cracks. They look nice. (ļ½”ā¢Ģļøæā¢Ģļ½”)
CausalityTaxDept:
Her voice made a group of elders younger.
Theyāre toddlers now. One bit me.
VortexGuy:
Okay but was she singing live?
Sounded like playback to me.
EmberStillAlive:
Donāt start that again.
Her fan club will set your realm on fire. ( Ķ”ą² ŹĢÆ Ķ”ą² )
LimbDealer:
I still forget sheās just a Lesser Divinity.
She acts like she rules the whole divine realm.
MoonWhoEatsHerself:
Thatās the brand.
She sells illusions and good lighting.
BoneCollector69:
Some guy exploded just clapping too hard.
I saw it. Very shiny way to go. āØ
MirrorJunkie:
Does she even sing?
Or just stand there glowing while everyone screams? ćµ(āāā)ć“
