I, The Aeon of Trailblaze, Trailblazing the Multiverse

Across all galaxies in the universe, all civilizations simultaneously looked up to the starry sky.

No one knew what had occurred—not even the most powerful Emanators of the Paths could comprehend what had happened.

To most, it was simply another cosmic anomaly.

After all, in the vast and boundless sea of stars, anything could happen.

Only those at the pinnacle of the universe—the Aeons who preside over the Paths and command the infinite power of imaginary energy—could sense the significance of the event.

Hidden across the cosmos, the Aeons turned their attention toward the phenomenon.

Their reactions varied. Some, after a brief glance, returned to slumber. Others displayed a flicker of surprise before averting their gaze. A few reacted with intense emotions, bursting into frenzied laughter.

"Ahahaha… how fascinating! Fascinating! Absolutely fascinating! Akivili! That Aeon who sought to traverse the farthest reaches of the Imaginary Tree to the Unknowable! Has Akivili returned?"

"Akivili has returned! This is unbelievable! Truly unbelievable! I was certain he was gone—how could he come back? What could have allowed this? Ahahaha! This is utterly delightful!"

The crystalline laughter of the Aeon of Joy echoed across the universe, fading as quickly as it had arrived.

Aside from the Aeons, no intelligent life heard the sound.

[Ding! Existence replacement at 80%.]

[The road walked by the Aeon of Trailblaze, Akivili, is now controlled by the host.]

[Ding! Existence replacement at 100%.]

[The concept of the Path of Trailblaze, as held by Akivili, is now under the host's command.]

Elias's ears were filled with the continuous prompts of the system.

The moment the process began, his physical body was disassembled, leaving only his consciousness. Then, concepts, energies, and other incomprehensible forces began reconstructing his form.

His body was being remade into the Divine Form of a Aeon.

As his body underwent reconstruction, he felt an infinite power surging within him. With the integration of Akivili's memories, he instantly understood everything.

Akivili's memories didn't carry emotions. Rather than "memories," they were closer to "knowledge"—the true knowledge of a Aeon.

As the replacement progressed, Elias's understanding of the universe grew endlessly, his perception expanding to unimaginable proportions.

Planets, stellar systems, galaxies, and even tens of thousands of neighboring galaxies were now within his gaze.

With the mastery of the concept of the Path, he felt omnipotent within the domain of Trailblaze.

The radiant, multicolored light gradually dissipated, revealing a figure bathed in a white halo.

His appearance and physique remained unchanged, but his form had transformed into the Divine Form of a Aeon. His hair, once black, now glowed a luminous white.

He slowly opened his eyes, breaking free from the overwhelming sensation of omnipotence. His irises had transformed into swirling galaxies.

"So powerful… Just a flick of my finger could unleash an imaginary energy tsunami across the galaxy."

"I can even manipulate the Path's concepts to alter the constants and rules of the universe."

Yet the transformation was not over.

The moment Elias became a Aeon, his past and future were submerged in the Path, rendering his "true existence" beyond definition by any being below a Aeon.

This is what mortals refer to as "once proven, forever proven."

[Ding! Customizing system functions according to the host's identity.]

[Customization complete. The 'Ultimate Concept God System' is now at your service, esteemed host.]

[The system has only one function: to assist you in mastering all concepts, becoming the ultimate Concept God, and ultimately transcending the very idea of concepts.]

Elias's lips curled into a grin. "Good, good… What a thoughtful system. I must say, I'm very satisfied."

[System is compiling the host's complete information.]

[Name/Title]: Akivili/Elias

[Identity]: Aeon of Trailblaze

[Imaginary Magnitude]: Supergalactic ~ Low Universe Level

[Path]: Trailblaze

[Core Concepts of the Path]:

 1. Freedom: Distance in space and time, and barriers of the tangible and intangible, cannot hinder its advance.

 2. Exploration: All unknowns become known, and the boundaries of the unknowable are shaken.

3. Tracks: Every step leaves traces, pointing the way for those who follow, transforming impassable obstacles into open paths.

 4. Legacy: Roads left unfinished by trailblazers of the past are inherited and completed by successors.

 5. Traversal: Barriers between worlds, times, spaces, and realities are broken, enabling mutual connection.

[Concept Seeds of the Path]: Courage, Beauty, Friendship, Aspiration, Inspiration, Salvation, Dreams, Hope, Sincerity, Knowledge…

Elias studied the details of his information and finally calmed down.

Leaping from an ordinary human to a Aeon, his mindset had also ascended during the transformation. Many of his mortal flaws were gradually optimized.

Of course, he was still himself—just closer to perfection.

"From an ordinary human to a supergalactic Aeon in one leap. Even though I'm bursting with excitement, I still feel calm. What a contradiction."

Elias couldn't help but laugh at himself. Excitement and calm coexisting—what else could it be but contradictory?

Based on Akivili's knowledge, the breadth of a Path is determined by the strength and quantity of its concepts. The more powerful and numerous the concepts, the broader the Path and the greater the imaginary energy it can gather.

The imaginary energy of a Path has a limit, and this limit is dictated by the Path's breadth.

A Aeon's power is defined by this principle.

Freedom, Exploration, Tracks, and Legacy were concepts originally held by Akivili, while Traversal was introduced by Elias as a crossover.

The Traversal concept allowed him to break the barriers of the universe and touch the intangible boundaries between worlds.

Thus, the current Path of Trailblaze had grown even stronger.

Although significantly more powerful, his Imaginary Magnitude still hadn't leaped too far—he remained a Tier-2 Aeon, somewhere near the lower end of the ranking. Still, he was no longer at the bottom, as he ranked above Hunt and Abundance.

"Well, the path forward is clear: master more concepts to broaden the Path."

Elias couldn't help but marvel. As expected, the system that determined its function only after acquiring an identity was impeccably well-designed.

"But… now's not the time to think about that."

Elias glanced in a specific direction and sighed.

"I knew trouble was coming. I just didn't expect it to show up so soon."

If he'd impulsively chosen something other than Trailblaze, he might already be in a fight.

"Aha, how much longer are you planning to hide? Surely, you don't think you've concealed yourself well enough?"
