Chapter 4572: The First Tongue III

Such a tremendously powerful being had already said a great deal of profound things that had expanded Noah’s knowledge significantly. But there was considerably more that he wanted to understand, and his hunger for comprehension was burning intensely.

This entity had directly asked him what he specifically wanted by spreading out his Primus Mana so loudly and freely across this domain.

So Noah responded with straightforward honesty. Well, not really speaking with verbal words as much as vibrating and pulsing with his Primus Mana itself. The energy being referred to by this ancient being as The First Tongue.

|I am simply looking to advance on my Way of Existence and attain THE Civilizational Authority as quickly as circumstances allow,| Noah communicated through pure Mana expression. |I am also actively searching for knowledge and understanding. I am very interested to learn more regarding this First Tongue you have mentioned, since I have always known it simply as Mana.|

He paused before continuing with honest self assessment.

|I know instinctively that I am stepping my feet in the correct direction with my cultivation. But I seem to be fundamentally lacking the proper building blocks of knowledge and understanding to progress as efficiently as I could be. I need...foundational comprehension.|

THE Primeval Titan looked at Noah with what felt like unique consideration, though his face remained completely obscured beneath the dense obsidian gold hair. He raised one hairy hand with deliberate motion.

The two massive creatures positioned behind him responded immediately. The wooly mammoth like Void-Tusk Colossus and the arthropod flying entity both released concentrated bursts of their own respective Ways of Existence in acknowledgment.

Then they began moving away with purpose as if they had been formally dismissed to freely resume whatever activities they had been engaged in before this interruption.

And thus the only entities remaining in this frozen sea of golden blue Primus Mana were Noah and THE Primeval Titan, standing in contemplative observation of each other.

Ul’moreth’s ancient voice resonated across the space between them with profound weight.

|What a genuinely weird thing you are, Little Anomaly,| he said with tone mixing amusement and interest. |Asking me to explain something fundamental, and yet you already hold more intrinsic purity of it than most other entities I have encountered across eons. Like asking me to describe water while you yourself are drowning in an ocean of it.|

He shifted his position slightly, his hair flowing with the movement.

|But very well. Let me illuminate what The First Tongue truly represents at its core.|

|Before there were words to describe power, before concepts crystallized into distinct Sovereignties with their own identities and dominions, there existed only The First Tongue,| he began with voice carrying ancient authority. |Pure, undifferentiated potential that flowed through the primordial void like breath flows through lungs. What you call Mana, Little Anomaly, is not merely one energy among countless others that entities can choose to cultivate.|

His presence intensified with emphasis.

|It is the original language through which existence first learned to speak itself into being. The fundamental alphabet from which all other forms of communication and expression would eventually derive.|

BOOM!

Noah felt his entire existence buzzing powerfully as he absorbed these words. His Way was roiling and pulsing with recognition as he continued listening with absolute focus.

|All the countless Sovereignties that entities across Existence now cultivate and wage war over...Storm, Hunger, Origin, Paradox, Time, Space, and all the rest...they are specialized dialects that emerged when The First Tongue fragmented and differentiated into comprehensible words,| Ul’moreth continued with flowing wisdom. |Like a mighty river splitting into countless tributaries over time, each individual stream believes itself unique and separate, completely forgetting they all flow ultimately from the same ancient source.|

|We who remain here, the Malformed Ginnu Lifeforms, have kept The First Tongue within our core existence even with our own differentiations and specializations. One can even say we have no choice but to do. We do not steer far from that primordial foundation no matter how much we evolve or refine ourselves.|

His hand gestured broadly at the environment.

|Did you wonder why Ginnungagap does not suppress what you wield so freely? Because effective suppression requires the recognition of foreignness, of fundamental otherness. How can this primordial domain possibly reject what has always been its own essential essence since formation?|

|The Light of Ginnungagap looks upon your flowing Mana and sees not an intruder or invader to be eliminated, but rather a child who has finally returned home after wandering lost through ages of differentiation and specialization. You are recognized as native because you carry The First Tongue in a form that predates the very concept of foreign versus native.|

HUUM!

Noah’s mind raced with the implications as Ul’moreth continued his profound explanation.

|There exists a fundamental paradox in the nature of power cultivation, one that has consumed the contemplation of the wise,| he said with philosophical weight. |To grow stronger, must one specialize and refine, walking ever further from the primordial simplicity? Developing focused mastery over specific concepts and authorities?|

|Or does true power actually lie in returning to the beginning, to that state of undifferentiated potential where all possibilities existed simultaneously before choice narrowed them into singular paths?|

His voice carried genuine uncertainty.

|The First Tongue holds no definitive answers to this eternal question, only more questions that echo through eternity without resolution.|

Noah’s existence continued to buzz and resonate intensely as he absorbed the words of this ancient entity. Their voice with its immense depth and accumulated wisdom seemed to be actively urging his Way forward through pure comprehension!

New prompts began materializing rapidly before his vision.

|Your Way of Existence is advancing at accelerated pace through direct transmission of ancient knowledge.|

|Understanding of core weavings has deepened substantially.|

|Integration of The First Tongue concept with existing Mana cultivation occurring.|

|THE ORGAN OF CIVILIZATION: DEVELOPMENT ALERT|

|Current Maturity: 13%|

|Understanding of foundational principles accelerating development.|

|New pathways opening within Organ structure.|

Noah observed these prompts flickering across his enhanced perception as Ul’moreth looked directly at him. And even though Noah could not actually see the face of this tremendously ancient being beneath all that flowing hair, he could almost tangibly feel as if they were smiling with satisfaction at his rapid progress.

They continued speaking while carefully observing Noah’s advancement in real time.

|It is genuinely unique to witness one advance significantly on their Way in real time from what I dismissively call the rubbish words of someone like me,| Ul’moreth said with what sounded like pleased surprise. |But I will continue with the lesson since you are proving to be such a receptive creature.|

|There is an old understanding, Little Anomaly, older than the very distinctions between THE and Pre-THE classifications that entities now obsess over. It says that all existence across all domains and all eras is fundamentally a conversation The First Tongue is having with itself, asking endless questions about what it could potentially become if it truly tried.|

His voice grew more intense with the weight of this revelation.

|Every entity, every manifestation of power, every cultivated Sovereignty is simply Mana exploring a different answer to the eternal question: what am I capable of being? Each specialization represents one possible answer among infinite possibilities.|

|But your expression is genuinely unique among those I have encountered,| he said with voice carrying genuine interest. |The intent you radiated when you spread out your weavings so freely felt boundless and unrestricted. You, in your infinite expression of Mana, are asking a question that The First Tongue rarely poses to itself.|

His presence leaned forward slightly.

|What if I refused to choose a single path? What if I remained everything simultaneously instead of becoming something specific and limited?|

BOOM!

Noah’s body became suffused with more and more concentrated waves of pure Primus Mana in response to this profound understanding. His eyes began burning brilliantly and releasing visible beams of blue gold light as comprehension cascaded through his existence.

In front of his vision, new prompts materialized with critical information.

|Understanding of your Way has vastly advanced through alignment with primordial truth.|

|The concept of Infinite Mana has been philosophically validated at fundamental level.|

|Your approach of refusing specialization has been recognized as legitimate path.|

|THE Organ of Civilization has advanced further|

|Current Maturity: 15%|

|Foundational understanding of The First Tongue is continuing to be incorporated into development.|

|Efficiency of Primus Mana processing increased by 99%.|

|Path toward THE Civilizational Authority clarified substantially.|

Noah’s entire existence trembled with the weight of advancement as he stood before THE Primeval Titan, absorbing wisdom that entities would wage wars to obtain!
