Athena's intense gaze stayed on Noah for a few seconds before she turned around and waved to one of the spectacularly designed dome-shaped buildings in the area they landed.
"This will be your dwelling for the near future. It is located on this Inquiring Mountain that is under the watch of Grandmaster Vredral. It will contain a dwelling as well as an expansive training field, medicinal garden, and a dining area where servants will bring food whenever you wish."
Noah followed her gaze as he looked at the unique architecture that held reminded him of ancient cathedrals with a hint of something new. He nodded towards Athena as she began to move towards the adjacent building next to it, saying a few last words before she disappeared from Noah's senses.
"The Grandmaster will continue to train you based on your talent, so expect an even harder training regiment and...much longer sparring battles as you increase your understanding of fate and the spectacular abilities you can use with it."
The War Princess disappeared with these words, leaving a calm Noah looking at the expansive building in front of him that would be his new abode for who knew how long. He went inside to familiarize himself and think over the many things that had happened today, his heart still hungry for even more information, and the abilities of Celestials that continued to show wondrous uses.
Over the next few days, Noah's life would take on an interesting schedule as he spent a majority of the time in his dome-shaped dwelling as he ama.s.sed more Fate Lines, the rest of his time being divided into lessons from Grandmaster Vredral who would go on to talk about Fate, or the occasional sparring session with a woman that seemed to live for battle. He kept contact with his forces that were moving between the First Realm of h.e.l.l to farm Skill Points and the Underworld to hone their skills as he made sure things were going in the right direction, but much of his attention was now focused on Fate Lines and the law of fate!
His findings with {Fate's Disciple} were especially noteworthy, as he was able to break through from 9,999 Fate Lines on the second day as he went on to understand the rate at which he could normally condense this mysterious force of fate.
Pa.s.sing the 10,000 point was the distinction of one becoming a Red Robed Celestial, something that was completely out of reach for the other White Robed Disciples that were still hanging at the level of less than 100 Fate Lines after one day.
Noah's monstrous rate of collection of 9,999 in a single day completely went against the norms and caused a huge blow to some of the geniuses watching on that day. But he found that the rate of progression after that...was extremely slow!
This was because the words of the Grandmaster actually came to be true, where in a day, he could at most condense 100 Fate Lines. This was still completely out of the Grandmaster's expectations as he looked at Noah with even more attention, as he had predicted even condensing a few tens of Fate Lines a day would be the limit. To others, this would be an unbelievable rate of growth, but it was extremely slow for him who had pulled in a few thousand in a single day.
This fast rate of condensing Fate Lines that he did not make a secret caused numerous ripples on the 7th Celestial Star that he still was not aware of. But this level of genius caused the favors of the Celestials to descend down like pouring rain on a stormy night.
This caused Noah to begin receiving the high-level techniques of Celestials every week, the techniques that could be considered mysterious as they worked to directly influence fate, or pierce the veils of secrecy surrounding it!
By the end of a single month of his stay in the 7th Celestial Star, he had ama.s.sed enough skills for the System to cla.s.sify them in form of an Absolute Skill, and this one was from the hands of the Celestials themselves!

As Noah spent his days in the 7th Celestial Star continuing to learn about the Supreme Law of Fate and the abundant secrets of the Celestials, time continued to pa.s.s as numerous figures in a wide array of worlds moved with their own goals.
A month was neither a long nor a short time, but it was enough for huge movements to occur behind the scenes.
In the Prime World that was the Underworld, sparks had begun to fly between the border of the Pureblood Vampyres and the Lineage of the Royal Silverbourne Werewolves, the surrounding forces preparing for war as they noticed this change early.
Many people had begun discussing in knowledgeable tones as they held a similar view across the board- The Pureblood Vampyres had finished consolidating their power as made a power grab for the entirety of the Underworld!
Small scale battles had already begun here and there as rumors of monstrous combatants that looked even more fearsome than those in the Lineage of the Silverbourne Werewolves appeared on the side of the Pureblood Vampyres. Rumors of a new ruler had also spread out as those watching in the dark began to frequently see the curvaceous figure of a gorgeous silver-haired beauty that could topple kingdoms give commands to the forces of Vampyres. On the hands of this gorgeous figure, one could always see the outline of a miniaturized penguin being carried around like a fluffy plushy toy, many people not trusting their senses as they were feeling an extreme aura of arrogance coming off of this small penguin.
War was on the horizon, but not just for the Underworld as across the vastness of s.p.a.ce, a shocking truth had come to light that directly put two Prime Worlds against each other! The forces of the Time Immemorial Sect, a sect in the lands controlled by the Profound Astral Sect of the World of Cultivation- had uncovered a heinous scheme by the forces from the Magus World after their encounter some time ago!
Grand Elder Amos has begun investigating the reports that Elder Dan returned from the Devilish Abode with, following the trail of exactly why the Magi from the Magus World were targeting the people of his sect. After Elder Dan was saved by the mysterious ent.i.ty that held numerous draconic heads and tentacles, he moved rapidly to report this and chase down any leads as to why the Magi were targeting them in the Devilish Abode.
Grand Elder Amos had thought it was a grudge that he didn't know about or an old offense that was just uncovered, but as he followed the trail, he came to realize that many forces all over the World of Cultivation were being targeted by Magi from the Magus World!
He quickly brought this information to the attention of the Profound Astral Sect as a thorough investigation was carried out. This investigation revealed a shocking horror as the powerhouses of the Profound Astral Sect were able to catch and imprison a magi in the act, and the things this Magi revealed made a chill run down the spines of all those listening!
A shocking truth was revealed on that day, with the grand designs of the major organization of the Magus World specifically targeting the beings in the World of Cultivation to obtain their bodies for experimentation and the creation of abominations that moved without souls!
This shocking truth enraged the entirety of the World of Cultivation as all travel was closed off, the portals connecting it to the Magus World being the first to be destroyed as everything single remaining Magi on the World of Cultivation was purged that day.
Blood and mayhem ran through the mountains and clouds, this single action heavily offending the forces of the Magus World as they denied any wrongdoings and called the actions of the World of Cultivation baseless murder, sparking a chain of conflicts as the two Prime Worlds now stood at the cusp of a War!
It was not just these two powerful Prime Worlds that were on the precipice of war and conflict as ever so slowly, chaos spread across the worlds as many other powers faced their own rising issues and conflicts, many thinking they were isolated incidents, but only those commanding higher levels of power being able to look at and realize that restlessness and chaos was spreading across the stars.
