Supreme Harem God System -
Chapter 2382: How do you do it?
"What am I supposed to see?"
Nux asked with a defeated look on his face.
"Everything."
The Seer answered.
Nux frowned in confusion and the Seer started explaining.
"A branch is not merely a line, Nux. It is a Universe seen from outside Time. It is the beginning, it is the past, it is the present, it is the future, its Laws, its worlds, its deaths, its wars, its Branches and… it is the end.
Everything that makes a Universe a… Universe exists inside that one stream."
Nux blinked.
"You see all of that at once…?"
He asked in disbelief.
"Yes."
"And you expect me to do the same…?"
"Yes."
The Seer nodded again.
Nux stared at the branch again.
For now, he finally understood why the Seer said the first step was easy, tracing the outside of a branch was simple, this was… something else.
He focused.
The silver-blue branch shined but—
Nothing happened.
Nux went at it for days, days turned into months, then years and centuries but…
He found himself seeing just the branch.
"How do you do it?"
He asked with a deep frown.
"No matter how much I keep staring, I only see a branch."
"That is for you to figure out."
The Seer had no answer.
"How do you do it?"
He asked.
"I just… do?"
The Seer tilted her head and she wasn't lying, to her, all this came naturally when she came here.
Nux's mouth twitched.
"You are a terrible teacher."
"I agree."
The Seer nodded and that only made it worse.
In the end, Nux just turned towards the branch and looked.
But again, it didn't change anything. It was almost as if seeing what the Seer saw was impossi—
Suddenly, Nux's thoughts froze.
Impossible.
Seeing what the Seer saw was impossible!
Why didn't he think of that before!?
He cursed himself for restricting himself to what he was being told, then—
He cheated.
The Power of Anomaly moved, Nux's eyes brightened and now, as he looked at the Universe with the intent to look—
It happened.
Something opened and Nux's mind was struck with an overwhelming stream of information, all at once.
Stars.
Worlds.
Births.
Deaths.
Wars.
Civilizations.
Immortals.
Mortals.
Children.
Monsters.
Laws.
Oceans.
Screams.
Silence.
Fire.
Time.
All of it came.
Everything came at once, not one event after another, not past, then present, then future.
All of it came together.
The birth of the Universe and its final decay, a child's first breath and an ancient star's death, it all… coexisted.
A war that lasted ten thousand years existed beside the thought that caused it. An Immortal's rise, fall, return, and erasure all appeared as one structure.
Nux's consciousness shook.
For a moment, he almost lost himself.
It was too much, even for him, who had absorbed Worlds' worth of memories.
After all, this was not mere worlds.
It was a complete Universe.
A whole Universe's existence, compressed into one sight.
Nux had to use all his will, all his power, just to keep his mind intact and keep his sense of self.
He constantly remembered his wives, his children, everything that was important to him, his goal to return, his goal to meet his wives again, the agony they must be in, the tears they must have shed when they saw that recording he left, he remembered it all and slowly—
His will became stronger than the information he received and finally—
It stayed.
He remained… himself.
And he…
He closed his eyes and took deep breaths even when the concept of breathing didn't exist here.
"You finally saw it."
The Seer commented.
"…a little heads up would have been great."
Nux answered after about ten minutes of silence and keeping his mind intact. The loud thumping in his head was finally over, that feeling that he was about to lose himself finally disappeared.
"Heads up about what?"
The Seer tilted her head.
"That the moment I actually do look at the Universe, the information might overwhelm my mind and I might lose my sense of self if I am not careful."
"…was that not… obvious?"
The Seer frowned.
"You are looking at the Universe, from its beginning to the end, that is at least a decillion years' worth of information, what did you think would happen?"
She asked and Nux…
He just looked away.
What could he even say?
"What do I do now?"
So in the end, he did what he did best, he changed the topic.
"Look again and process that information."
"Process it…?"
"Of course, you only saw that information, how much of it do you recall?"
"It was chaotic, not something that could be recalled."
Nux answered.
"You are wrong.
Do it again."
The Seer ordered and Nux…
He prepared himself and looked at the Universe again, the information struck again, trying to overwhelm his mind again, but this time, he held on and handled it much better.
Then—
His mind tried to make sense of it.
First, he tried to separate it.
The Beginning.
The Middle.
The End.
He tried to create a timeline that would make sense.
But it failed.
Nux frowned, he thought of trying it again but—
"Order belongs inside Time."
The Seer spoke up.
Nux didn't stop looking into the Universe, but his mind had shifted its attention to her words.
"But you are not inside Time.
You are in the Multiverse.
The Universe you see is not a story being told.
It is a complete thing.
A finished and unfinished thing at the same time.
A body made of moments.
Do not try to force it into order, take it all at once, like it is being presented."
Nux understood those words and this time, he used a newer approach.
He started looking at the small parts first.
A single, simplest form of life.
He saw its past, present, future, everything its little life entailed at once and he understood it. Then from there, he began focusing on larger parts.
A comparatively bigger but simple life form.
Then a more complex life form.
Then multiple life forms.
Then an entire continent.
An entire civilization.
An entire World.
Multiple Worlds.
Then slowly and steadily, as his mind got used to the overwhelming amount of information it was subjected to, as it was broken again and again, barely holding on only by a small, but ridiculously strong Will—
He could finally see it.
He could finally… understand it.
But—
Just as he was about to celebrate.
"Now trace it back."
"…what?"
