At the very least, his personal pulsar time describer had completed 6.3 × 10¹¹ cycles [AN: about 10,000 years] according to the standard of his species' time scale.
For lesser creatures and sapients.....,
such an amount of time was enough to render them nonexistent or to completely alter the course of their history.
His own people . before their inevitable extinction, were such beings. Lesser depth-less, wretched and weak.
Such a span of time would have been enough for his people to progress from using primitive materials to constructing vessels capable of exploring the stars—if not at least explore the planets within their own solar system.
Thus, although he had been here for such a duration,
For his mind it was not much. Given his evolution, when he.. Gained true sentience
He evolved better his form better suited to his desires.
And with that....even this amount of time was negligible.
He was, after all, the only Ascended creature of his race to become a high dignitary of the Physical Weaver....
and oh, yes and he
HE was Not only a high dignitary of the Weaver, he had also reached the level of an Aether Bringer. By combining these abilities,
He was able to evolve his physical body and ascend to the nexus of his thread divident, standing upon the same platform as those high beings who ruled it
But alas
He was nothing in front of those who ruled his thread divident compared to them those civilizations those beings his people were but.. But bacteria
And he the apex of his species nothing more than an insect
It took so much effort for his people
So much yet they could only enter it only he could... Why? Because only he has reached the necessary level of understanding
That all belonging to the higher races posses .
So'esz body shook in anger as the gravity and light around him bended His thirteen eyes contracted.
For about 6.3 × 10¹³...pulsar cycles, his people had worked and toiled under the higher races treated like tools, animals
So'esz chuckled oh the irony of it now that he has evolved, ascended he understands
He might have done the same to his people
Seen them only as tools
And indeed that's what he did
yet he could not even come close to the higher races of his thread divident—the beings who lived within the nexus itself.
So'esz thoughts became bleak.. Yet somber
Thus, he could only recluse himself upon this planet, where he had coincidentally discovered what he believed was
A library of what he could only assume were beings on par with his own kind, or perhaps a higher race belonging to the upper threads.
Yet even after 6.3 × 10¹¹ cycles, he could not decipher the structure of the library.
If not for his dual understanding of the physical threads and aether, he might have been torn apart, his brain shattered.
As every structure in this library
Resonated and amplified not only the biological fears of organic beings
So'esz came to understand that this place also trapped the very existence of all those
Who enter it
For even he could not escape it now
Thus calming himself So'esz could only contemplate his next course of action as he floated within one of the crystal helix towers, manipulating the gravity around him.
Though by twist of the river of fate or mercy of divine
So'esz saw Hope
his aether senses detected a resonance within the crystals. This was unprecedented the structure didn't react to whatever so'esz did to it yet..now .
Now it was resonating faint, but unmistakable. It was clearly a reaction to something or someone
Quickly, he expanded his observation field across the entire labyrinth. Locating the source, he teleported himself there, carefully bending light and restructuring it to erase his presence. At the same time, he activated his aether formulas to remove his existence from the standard four dimensions of the threads.
What he found was astonishing to say the least.
Before him stood what appeared to be a bipedal creature. Yet this was not the most astonishing aspect. Rather, it was that So'esz could sense no mastery from it at all. So'esz immediately activated his aether formula's and thread fields
How it had entered this place was a mystery.
A deeply terrifying thought surfaced within his mind—what if this creature was a higher nexus race, whose mastery of the realms far surpassed his own?
The thought was discarded almost immediately, for two reasons.
First, those races were far too powerful—powerful enough that their realm masters could simply teleport the entire planet to wherever they desired and erase his entire existence before he even realized
And Second, their egos were far too great for them to ever visit what was, to them, merely another mudball of the lesser and middling races.
However, So'ezs thirteen eyes—and his two inner eyes—quietly noted that this creature was odd.
Like the lesser races, it lacked depth in its existence. Yet at the same time, it possessed complex biological systems and emotions. Many of its organs—especially its eyes and facial structure—resembled the optimal corresponding structures of the higher races .
Not much, only by a small percentage, but enough to make So'ezs pause for a moment and consider whether it was perhaps a carrier of the higher races.
Though he could not sense anything from it
After much contemplation,This thought was discarded as soon as it formed.
For it was simply against the nature of the higher races to work so discreetly for what for them might just be a very highly advanced yes , but nonetheless a library
To them it was not worth the effort
After much observation and contemplation, So'ezs decided he would use this bipedal creature to decipher the structure of the library. After all it was clear that this creature was somehow related to this place
Thus the resonance he felt
Revealing himself, So'ezs thirteen eyes fixed upon the biped as it stared back at him. He released one of his weaker mind formulas to probe its consciousness. The biped struggled briefly—
Then it fainted.
