"As of now, cosmic gods go through three different cultivation stages. Microcosmic gods range from a hundred to a thousand meters in height and their bodies gradually turn into tiny universes, with albi turning into astrons. From a thousand to ten thousand meters, they become heavencosmic gods, a significant growth from the Microcosmic stage."

At the very least, that was how one transferred planet-class order to galaxy-class order. It was a continuous line of growth and expansion. The gap between microcosmic and heavencosmic gods was not minor, but it wasn't a massive leap either. Yet, cosmic gods in those two stages could be a few hundred times each other's sizes.

"The third stage of cosmic godhood is when the foundations are laid and true transformation begins." It was known as the Primocosmic stage. Mushan Feng was one such primocosmic god, making him one of the strongest class of beings in the Realms of Order and Chaos. Cosmic gods from ten thousand to a hundred thousand meters were of that stage.

As far as Tianming knew, the main difference between primocosmic and heavencosmic gods were primocosmify, cosmotrons and cosmic constellations. It was a breakthrough on all fronts that changed everything on the foundational levels.

"Cosmic gods who are ten thousand meters tall might be anywhere from tenth-level heavencosmic gods to primocosmic gods. It's quite a wide range." The ones at the end of the spectrum could easily wipe out those at the start. The fie imperial-star elders, Mushan Feng, Moran, Li Tianzi and Li Muyang were all primocosmic gods.

Yueling Momo was one too. That was why while he was only ten thousand meters in height, almost the same as his son, he was no doubt far stronger. The Primocosmic stage was said to be one of the hardest when it came to breakthroughs.

In the Realm of Chaos, Tianming was invincible against anyone who wasn't a primocosmic god, but he wasn't even a proper heavencosmic god yet. It was such a huge disparity that it startled even him. In the Realm of Order, he was more 'normal' and could only fight eight levels above his own, skypole stars or not.

"Wouldn't I be invincible in the whole universe once I become a primocosmic god?" He was still one whole stage away, however. "No, I think I'll reach that even sooner if I count the omnisentient threads I have in the Realm of Order."

Tianming could already kill cosmic gods of ten thousand meters even when he was only a second-level microcosmic god with omnisentient threads.

Tianming pondered more on the nature of primocosmic gods being the strongest in the universe. "There must be another level above this that nobody has touched upon yet."

The reason he believed this to be the case was that ascendants and astral gods both had four stages in their cultivation. Astral gods, in particular, went from the Order stage, the Cosmic Cartography stage, the Foundation stage and finally to the Overflow stage. It was a logical process where each step built upon the previous ones. Cosmic-god stages also seemed to resemble that process of start, development, transformation and unification. There had to be a unification stage at the very end.

"Perhaps that 'unification' stage would be the final point the universal body evolves to and also what Tian Jiu had yearned to chase after. The imperatores of the Eightpart Pantheons and the Realm of Chaos must also be chasing that path, right? I wonder if Li Muyang would be stronger than the imperatores of the Eightpart Pantheons..." There probably wasn't a real answer to that question. The Realms of Order and Chaos might seem similar and close to each other, but they were completely separate with no factions on each side having any conflicts of interests with each other. There would be no reason for them to fight.

"Also, what level are Di Yi and Huang Qi at? Where have they come from and how long have they been around? What about my dad's pursuers and the past incarnations of the Primordial Chaos Beasts?" Tianming pondered those questions as he silently processed the dazzling radiances with Daosteal, absorbing the refined essence of order from the Realm of Chaos. All ten streams of order within his body began to rampantly devour the distilled power and grew after twenty long years of stabilization. It was something he had waited for in the past two decades so he didn't hesitate one bit.

"My stars will finally turn into a sea of stars." After so many years of cultivating, his order turned from a spherical honeycomb briquette to a hive, then a fortress, continent, and planet. Finally, the planets, starting from the black-gold imperial order, began to split and multiply until it became a sea of stars! The other streams of order followed.

"After imperial order becomes a galaxy, it's even more prepared to take on omnisentient will. Each planet in the galaxy can stand in for one sentient life. It's too bad that I already have some faithful in the Realm of Chaos, but there's no order they can use to connect to me..."

Tianming was starting to think about giving up on the omnisentient threads, not that it mattered since he wouldn't have to change his behavior in any significant way. People would begin to give him more and more recognition. Still, that meant that he wouldn't have to go out of his way to perform impressive feats to nurture their faith in him.

"Time for lifesbane order." His second stream of order within his brain began to split into a galaxy that resembled a monochrome vortex. After that, the orders from his lifebound beasts did the same, and interestingly, they did so in the order of their hatching. Even Sixth and Ji Ji's orders were correctly ordered in sequence.

"Once the Realm of Chaos's situation stabilizes, I should go to check out the Sea of Aeternity." Sixth's vita was still estranged, which was something that was a thorn in Tianming's heart.

When his orders finished their transformation, he told Mu Qingqing, "Let's go back to the pathway."

He hadn't remained at the Dongshen Arena for the whole time in the past two decades, often visiting the Sun to spend some time with his family. He did bring back dazzling radiances and gave one to Zi Zhen, who could also absorb it. Jiguang and Yao were still struggling to keep up. Tianming believed that once they became heavencosmic gods, they would be able to absorb them better.

Zi Zhen was about the same level as Tianming, standing five thousand meters tall. Naturally, Tianming didn't let up on that chace, which made her quite the object of envy. She wanted to come to the Realm of Chaos with Tianming, so they tried to think of a way together. Given that she had come from the Xenoabyss, she used to use xeno source primarily, but converted it to nova source at Myriadpath Valley. Tianming had her return to the Xenoabyss to convert her energy back; xeno source was similar to the energy in the Inverse Battlefield, just inverted. Once she was done, Tianming tried to take her to Chaos, but he couldn't be sure she would succeed.
