It should be noted that to fully integrate a Sun Authority, one must at least obtain the Sun Authority's legacy or carve a legacy within the Sun Authority.
The actual integration of a Sun Authority is not as simple as merely holding it and activating its passive abilities based on compatibility.
Take, for example, Dog Sun Authority held by Aslan. If the Great Tengu, who once carved a legacy within this Sun Authority, used it, the manifestation would clearly differ from Aslan's lifesaving abilities.
A fully liberated Sun Authority is no weaker than an Another Cosmology. However, the difficulty of liberation is extremely high, with stringent compatibility requirements.
No one in Little Garden has ever fully liberated a Sun Authority, not even Shiroyasha or Queen Halloween.
A fully liberated Sun Authority is roughly equivalent to one forty-fourth of Little Garden's power.
Aslan's act of seizing twelve Sun Authority legacies at once was, without a doubt, a bold and blatant declaration that he aimed to collect all the Sun Authorities and dominate Little Garden.
This was why Karyou and the others looked at him with admiration.
This was far bigger than the Sun War. After all, the holders and former holders of Sun Authorities—who among them wasn't a renowned god or Buddha?
"But this doesn't warrant you asking me for help, does it?" Sun Wukong looked at Shiroyasha with confusion.
After all, the being with the most Sun Authorities in all of Little Garden was standing right in front of her—Shiroyasha.
If Shiroyasha wanted, what was the issue with seizing a few legacies? She could even lend a few Sun Authorities to Aslan to play with.
As long as ownership didn't change, most gods and Buddhas would turn a blind eye.
With imperfect liberation and incomplete ownership, the Sun Authorities' symbolic value was greater than their practical significance.
However, it also depended on who was backing you. Otherwise, just the accusation of "attempting to peek into Little Garden's ultimate secrets" could get you destroyed.
Shiroyasha had enough weight to suppress all of this.
Hearing this, Shiroyasha let out a long sigh and said heavily,
"Because Laplace reminded me that he observed an incomplete Another Cosmology in Aslan's body."
"Huh?" Aslan froze, looking at Shiroyasha with slight confusion.
(No, where did my Another Cosmology come from?)
(Is there really none?)
(Those aren't mine; they all have to be returned.)
Although he currently possessed three Another Cosmologies, in reality, only one could be used discreetly.
Vasavi Shakti had to be returned to Indra. As for Void Star · Tai Sui, it was someone else's inherited Gift. Though valuable, he couldn't bring himself to forcibly take it.
So, strictly speaking, Aslan had no Another Cosmology at the moment.
"Shiro, are you sure you're not here to show off?"
The flames of jealousy in Sun Wukong's eyes were practically blazing.
What filled her eyes? Jealousy.
(Damn it, Shiro, this lucky bastard, is showing off again.)
However, the possibility of Aslan possessing an Another Cosmology wasn't impossible.
Who told Aslan's battle record to be so dazzling and his growth so rapid? Even with the blessing of merits, he couldn't have reached this stage.
What normal person, just over a month after arriving in Little Garden, could play an irreplaceable role on the battlefield against a Last Trial of Mankind?
"So, you suspect the Another Cosmology in Aslan's body requires twelve Sun Authorities to complete?"
Soon, Sun Wukong realized the crux of the issue.
That completing an Another Cosmology required Sun Authorities wasn't unusual. On the contrary, it was very normal.
After all, Sun Authorities could be used for stamping, charging, and refining the worldview of an Another Cosmology with the worldview contained within them.
However, it should be noted that even the so-called strongest Another Cosmology, Avatāra, only required ten Sun Authorities. And that was because Avatāra contained ten different worldviews.
It also hid at least ten backdoors…
Otherwise, it wouldn't have fallen into Ouroboros' hands for Kalki to use.
"No wonder you said you couldn't suppress this issue." Sun Wukong nodded thoughtfully.
It should be known that once someone held more than twelve Sun Authorities, they could even gain the immense power to reshape Little Garden.
Although achieving that step required integrating all twelve Sun Authorities into oneself, an Another Cosmology was the best vessel for this.
In other words, Aslan truly had the potential to dominate and rebuild Little Garden.
"So, Monkey, just say it—will you help or not?" Shiroyasha looked at Sun Wukong with an expressionless face.
She didn't care about the Another Cosmology in Aslan's body. After all, an Another Cosmology was ultimately just a blueprint for gods to create a universe.
And when Aslan matured… he would become a god responsible for creating worlds. An Another Cosmology was just so-so.
However, at this stage, an Another Cosmology was still quite useful. At the very least, it could conceal Aslan's true nature.
Now, some were already itching to make a move.
Shiroyasha sneered. Were they so unwilling to see Little Garden prosper?
Gaia back then, Canaria later, and now Aslan would not escape the same fate as Gaia and Canaria.
However, Shiroyasha also realized one thing: human strength had its limits. Even she, a Primordial Star, was no exception.
In the small chessboard of Little Garden, inhabited by at least seventeen Two-Digit entities, there were bound to be places her hands couldn't reach.
Or rather, others didn't see her as a chess player but as a useful Two-Digit pawn.
But don't forget, who held the most Sun Authorities right now? Who truly held the reins?
This was her Little Garden!!!
However, one person's power was ultimately limited. Even as a Two-Digit, restricted by rules, there wasn't much she could do.
At this moment, alliances and allies became crucial.
The best allies Shiroyasha could think of were the Earth Mother Gods. After all, when the Geocentric Theory was still the Geocentric Theory, Shiroyasha could also be called an Earth Star Spirit, the greatest Earth Mother God.
Moreover, Earth Mother Gods were mostly powerful, holding high positions in various Pantheons, and were trustworthy and kind.
Seeking them as allies meant no need to worry about being stabbed in the back, and even if negotiations failed, there was no need to fear becoming sworn enemies.
Of course, the most important point was that Earth Mother Gods, like Shiroyasha, deeply loved Little Garden and Human History.
Simply put, because they cared too much, they were easy to control.
The only difference was that Earth Mother Gods cared about humans, while Shiroyasha cared about Little Garden.
However, the current downside was that, perhaps due to Gaia's death chilling the hearts of the Earth Mother Gods, they were now almost a scattered force. Their relationships were only decent, meeting occasionally.
But no matter. As long as Sun Wukong could complete her mission, with her identity as a Candidate Originator created by the stars, she could fully reunite the Earth Mother Gods.
Though this was somewhat difficult.
"Help, of course I'll help. After all, he's my brother-in-law." Sun Wukong said with a laugh. She didn't think as far as Shiroyasha did.
To her, this was just an ordinary alliance. They would help Aslan complete his unawakened Another Cosmology.
On the other side, Aslan looked at the Another Cosmology in his body and sank into thought.
"Three Another Cosmologies, that's not a problem, right?" Aslan muttered softly.
What was with this extra one?
"Wait? Three? Damn! Since when was there an extra?"
"Avesta isn't in my body, is it?"
To be precise, Aslan had placed Avesta in Angra Mainyu's body.
What he carried were only Vasavi Shakti and Void Star · Tai Sui.
Aslan was a bit speechless. He took out Vasavi Shakti and Void Star · Tai Sui. He saw an Another Cosmology, without a definite form, quietly gathering some concepts within his body.
The corner of his mouth couldn't help but twitch.
"But when exactly did Algol give me this thing?"
Sensing the familiar aura of this Another Cosmology, Aslan roughly understood where it came from.
If his guess wasn't wrong, this Another Cosmology was likely gifted to him by Algol when he was researching the Cleansing Virus.
The reason was simple. Unless an Another Cosmology was naturally born or possessed from birth, creating one required at least two Kings of Gods to make it together, as Little Garden didn't recognize monotheism.
So, despite Algol's advanced technology, she couldn't overcome the rule's restrictions. She had tried to create an Another Cosmology.
But Algol was a Problem Child. Her sharp tongue had offended many gods and Buddhas. Where could she find someone to help her complete her Another Cosmology?
This left her Another Cosmology perpetually in an incomplete, half-finished state.
Aslan's testing of the Cleansing Virus, in a sense, aligned with the worldview of Algol's Another Cosmology.
And so, his name was added to it.
"It's like helping a big shot with work, but because it only had one signature, it couldn't be published. Then, by chance, my name was added (as a co-author)."
Of course, getting an Another Cosmology for free was far more advantageous than being a co-author.
If word of this got out, countless people would be jealous to the point of toothache.
At this moment, Aslan had also achieved a rare feat in Little Garden.
Holding four Another Cosmologies simultaneously, even if two were temporary.
It would be nice if one day he could hold all twenty-four Sun Authorities at once.
No, it should be twenty-five.
Though difficult to achieve, one must always have dreams. Who knows, they might come true?
