Myriad Heavens: Rise of the Rune God

Chapter 208: Clones in the Origin & Willith’s Warning

Supreme Crimson Lotus and Supreme Eternal Scholar remained inside the sealed pocket dimension, quietly guarding Void-Walker.

His enlightenment showed no signs of ending soon. The golden and void-black lights swirled violently around him, sometimes calm, sometimes surging like a storm. For Supremes, such breakthroughs could last days, months, or even years depending on how deep the insight went. They could not leave him unprotected.

Crimson Lotus crossed her arms, clearly restless. "I really want to find out more about that boy Runar. This is too important to ignore."

Eternal Scholar nodded slowly, eyes still fixed on Void-Walker. "Same here. I’m very curious."

Crimson Lotus made a quick decision. "Then let’s create clones. We can stay here and guard him while the clones go ask Willith."

"Good idea," Eternal Scholar agreed.

Both Supremes closed their eyes for a brief moment. Two identical clones formed beside them — perfect copies carrying their full consciousness and power. The clones nodded once to the originals, then vanished instantly, tearing through space.

At the true center of the universe existed a mythical place known only to Universal-level beings.

It was called the Universe Origin.

This was not a normal location. It existed beyond ordinary space and time — a vast, floating realm of pure primordial energy where the fabric of reality felt thinner and more alive. Only Universal lifeforms could freely enter and leave this place. The distance was so great that even Supremes needed time to cross it, but once inside, movement became effortless.

The Origin looked like an enormous, ancient adventure hub straight out of legend.

Massive floating platforms made of glowing white stone hovered in a boundless starry void. Tall crystalline towers rose into the distance. In the center stood an enormous mission hall built from shimmering origin crystals. Holographic mission boards floated everywhere, displaying countless tasks:

- Hunt Void Beasts in Sector 47-X

- Eliminate invading Universal entities from the Shadow Realm

- Retrieve lost primordial treasures from collapsed universes

Hundreds of Universal-level beings from different races walked around. Some were humanoid, others had strange forms — towering energy beings, ancient dragons with cosmic scales, or ethereal spirits made of pure law light. They checked mission boards, formed temporary teams, or rested in peaceful pavilions where origin energy flowed like water.

A large leaderboard hovered above the main hall, showing the top contributors by points earned from killing threats to the universe. Points could be exchanged for rare treasures, but most Universal beings rarely used them for personal resources. Universal beings were extremely hard to kill — even for others of the same level. Because of this, every point earned was precious. Most saved them carefully for the rare Enlightenment Tokens that only Willith could create. These tokens were extremely expensive and could help even Supremes reach enlightenment.

The atmosphere felt like a grand adventurers’ guild on a cosmic scale — serious, purposeful, yet filled with quiet power.

Even beings from rival races behaved with proper restraint here. Heated arguments and old grudges were set aside the moment they stepped into the Origin. Willith’s rules were absolute, and her power was the ultimate enforcer. No one dared break the peace.

The two clones of Crimson Lotus and Eternal Scholar appeared instantly near the main hall.

They walked through the bustling area without drawing much attention. Many beings here knew each other by reputation. A few nodded respectfully as the clones passed.

Nearby, two Universal beings from opposing factions were talking.

"That sneaky Void Beast escaped again before I could kill it," a massive scaled warrior growled. "It even injured me. What a waste of my time."

His companion, a glowing energy being, chuckled. "Don’t worry. You’ll get him next time. These missions are never easy."

The clones continued walking and headed straight for the central tower where Willith usually held audiences. After requesting a private meeting, they were guided into a quiet, pure-white chamber that seemed to exist outside of normal time.

Willith appeared before them.

She took the form of a beautiful, ethereal woman with long silver-white hair and eyes that contained countless galaxies. She was not human. She was the living will of the entire universe — the highest existence in this reality.

"You wished to speak with me?" Willith asked calmly, her voice gentle yet carrying unimaginable authority.

Crimson Lotus’s clone stepped forward. "We came to ask about a student named Runar. During a Dao discussion with Void-Walker, the boy showed something... unusual. His eyes carry the aura of a Principle. We want to know what he is."

Willith was silent for a moment, then spoke plainly.

"Runar is a special existence. You should not bother him. In fact, you should try to get on his good side. He is the most promising multiversal seed this universe has produced in a very long time. He might be your ticket to the multiversal station."

Both Supremes were stunned.

Eternal Scholar asked carefully, "The real Multiversal station...?"

Willith nodded. "Yes. The reason you Universal beings desperately want to master a Principle is because only with a true Principle can you travel to the multiversal center. Your current speed is not enough. Traveling alone through the void between universes would take billions of years. Even if you could endure that isolation, you would not know the correct location. Only a Principle allows you to pinpoint a multiversal station."

She continued, her voice growing slightly heavier.

"As for the Principle in his eyes... even I was shocked when I sensed it. When he first activated his eyes and looked at me, I could only defend using my own Principle. It had minimal effect."

The two Supremes felt a chill run down their spines.

Willith’s tone became serious. "You do not have to worry about Runar’s safety. If any other race discovers him, I will personally take action."

A terrifying killing intent suddenly rolled off Willith. The entire chamber trembled. Both Supremes shuddered deeply. They knew the truth — Willith was the number one most powerful being in this universe. She could suppress them into nothingness with just a thought.

The clones bowed respectfully and left.

Willith watched them depart in silence. She did not tell them everything. She was not obligated to. Runar was a reincarnator — and not just any reincarnator. He was a soul sent from another universe by the Multiversal Truck-kun Institution. She had made a private promise with Runar: in exchange for him putting in a good word for her at the Multiversal Reincarnation Academy to allow more reincarnators to be sent to her universe in the future, she would support him.

She kept that information to herself.

---

Back in the sealed dimension, the original Supremes received the memories from their clones at the same time.

Crimson Lotus exhaled slowly. "A multiversal seed... and Willith herself is protecting him."

Eternal Scholar looked thoughtful. "We should keep this information tightly sealed. And perhaps... find a way to build a good relationship with that boy."

They both turned their gaze back to the still-enlightened Void-Walker, their expressions complicated.

---

In the private training pavilion, Runar and Celestia continued their session. The multicolored ring behind Celestia’s back rotated slowly, symbolizing her growing unity. She was improving quickly under his guidance.

Runar smiled softly as he watched her. For now, the greater universe remained quiet. But he could feel faint ripples in the distance — powerful eyes were beginning to turn toward him.

He kept these thoughts to himself and focused on the present, gently correcting Celestia’s qi flow.
