The System Awakens: Rise of the Champion - Chapter 250

Capítulo 250: Chapter 250: The Existence – 1

There are three absolute beings responsible for the universe, for any universe to exist or continue to exist.

Standing at the apex of existence as omnipotent within the expanse of the universe is the Universal Tree.

A being unfathomable, indecipherable, and beyond even the eldritch, it is without a doubt a supreme existence, unrivaled by any other in absolution.

Its sole purpose is not judgment, balance, or morality, but generation.

The Universal Tree, regarded as both the mother and father of the universe, produces unlimited and unfiltered primordial universal energy, raw existence in its purest and most fundamental state.

This energy is neither positive nor negative.

It is volatile, infinite, and utterly unusable in its natural form, something only the Universal Tree can control and wield.

If released directly into reality without mediation, it would annihilate all structure, all existence, through sheer overload, like a bomb detonating on the scale of an entire universe.

The Universal Tree does not govern how this energy is used, for it leaves that responsibility to the other two apex beings, who stand second in the hierarchy of the universe, second only to the Mother of the Universe herself.

The Positivity Tree and the Negativity Tree

Two other existences stand nearly as supreme as the Universal Tree herself, only a single step below her. Yet on the scale of omnipotence, they do not truly lose to the Universal Tree in any meaningful sense.

These are the Positivity Tree and the Negativity Tree, entities that occupy the second position in the universal hierarchy as the supreme beings responsible for maintaining existence itself.

From the Universal Tree’s infinite output, the Positivity Tree, what most beings refer to as the True Yang, extracts all energy and essence aligned with Creation, Expansion, Order, Life, Hope, Progress, Stability, and every other aspect that belongs to the positive side of the universe.

The Positivity Tree refines this raw power into usable forms, such as sunlight that nurtures life, laws that allow societies to form, and instincts that drive beings toward cooperation and survival.

Crucially, it does not create positivity. Positivity already exists as latent potential within the Universal Tree’s energy.

The Positivity Tree merely recognizes, isolates, and channels it.

The True Yang is the Yang of all existence, metaphorically, symbolically, and literally.

The Negativity Tree, by contrast, is the complete opposite of the Positivity Tree.

Its role mirrors its counterpart precisely, but in opposition.

Like the True Yang, it filters and manages all energy and essence aligned with negative concepts, including Destruction, Entropy, Decay, Conflict, Fear, Loss, Endings, and every other aspect that belongs to negativity.

The Negativity Tree, what gods refer to as the great supreme being, the True Yin, ensures that decay and destruction occur in structured ways.

Stars explode instead of destabilizing reality, death follows biological laws, and destruction clears space for renewal.

Without it, negative energy and essence would accumulate chaotically, tearing existence apart from within.

Like its counterpart, it does not invent negativity.

It contains it and regulates it.

This is why it is called the Yin of existence.

The Universal Tree, as the Prime Source; the True Yang, the Harmonizer of Growth; and the True Yin, the Regulator of Entropy, together form the three supreme beings responsible for the existence and continued existence of the universe.

After them came the Seven Primordials.

Within the universal hierarchy, the Seven Primordials occupy the third rank, serving directly beneath the three supreme entities.

They are not sources of power.

Rather, they are functions given form, possessing life and consciousness of their own.

Where the Trees of Positivity and Negativity divide energy by polarity, the Primordials apply that energy to reality itself, ensuring that the universe does not merely exist, but operates.

They are servants, not subordinates.

Each Primordial embodies an absolute necessity.

Remove even one, and existence persists only as a broken mechanism, plagued by countless errors and cascading failures that inevitably descend into chaos.

For this reason, none but the three supreme beings can ever be spoken of as capable of removing them.

The seven primordials, Beginning, Life, Change, Judgement, End, Renewal, and Continuum, are collectively known as the Executors of Existence.

The First Primordial: Beginning

The Initiator

She governs emergence: the initiation of time, the ignition of stars, the birth of ideas, the rise of civilizations, and all moments where something becomes something.

She receives positive energy from the Positivity Tree to ignite creation.

She also accepts negative pressure from the Negativity Tree to prevent infinite hesitation or stagnation.

Without Beginning, nothing new could ever occur.

Time would exist, but it would never advance into events.

The Second Primordial: Life

The Animator

The primordial Life governs biological and non-biological existence, consciousness, instinct, and survival.

She is primarily powered by the Positivity Tree, yet she requires regulated negativity to enforce mortality and limitation.

Without Life, the universe would still exist physically, but no one would experience it.

Meaning itself would vanish.

The Third Primordial: Change

The Transformer

She exists to ensure that nothing remains static.

The primordial Change governs evolution, mutation, growth, and deterioration.

She applies positive energy to foster growth and adaptation.

She applies negative energy to enable erosion and breakdown.

Change is the reason time feels like movement.

Without Change, life would freeze, matter would lock into permanent states, and time would become irrelevant.

The Fourth Primordial: Judgement

The Arbiter

He exists to determine outcome, worth, and consequence.

He does not decide morality; he decides direction.

He evaluates actions, events, and states of existence, determining whether something continues, changes, ends, or renews.

Judgement draws equally from Positivity and Negativity, acting as their point of intersection.

Without Judgement, all actions would be meaningless.

No cause would have a consistent effect, and balance would collapse into randomness.

The Fifth Primordial: End

The Terminator

He exists to allow all things to finish.

He is the complete opposite and counterpart of the primordial Beginning, yet the two depend on one another in an endless cycle.

He governs finality: death, collapse, extinction, and silence.

He draws heavily from negative energy, enforcing entropy, yet relies on positive balance to ensure endings are definitive rather than endless decay.

Without End, nothing could conclude.

Decay would stretch infinitely without resolution, and suffering would never cease.

The Sixth Primordial: Renewal

The Reclaimer

She exists to prevent waste.

She governs rebirth, recycling, regeneration, and reincorporation.

She takes the remains of ended things and converts them into potential.

Renewal balances the output of End, ensuring that destruction is never absolute.

She draws energy equally from true yin and true yang.

Without Renewal, the universe would slowly exhaust all usable structure, and entropy would dominate irreversibly.

The Seventh Primordial: Continuum

The Binder

He exists to ensure that everything remains connected.

The primordial Continuum governs time, causality, dimensional coherence, and persistence.

He binds moments into timelines so that change occurs in sequence rather than chaos.

He is the least visible, yet the most essential primordial.

Without Continuum, events would not follow one another, and reality would fracture into unrelated instants.

The System of Existence

Together, the seven primordials form the system that keeps the universe functioning:

Beginning initiates existence.

Change transforms it.

Judgement directs it.

Life experiences it.

End concludes it.

Renewal reclaims it.

Continuum binds the entire process into a coherent whole.

The Seven Primordials each govern a distinct domain.

They are existential operators; the reason reality functions smoothly instead of collapsing into infinite energy or dissolving into meaningless stillness.

Together, they ensure that existence is not merely possible, but sustainable.

They counterbalance one another while simultaneously depending on each other, as each domain requires the others to exist with purpose and coherence.

Beginning requires an End to define what a beginning truly is.

Without an ending, no start can hold meaning.

Life is bound to End through mortality and to Renewal through reproduction and legacy.

Change exists between Beginning and End, acting as the process that fills the space between them.

Judgement continuously informs Change, determining what must transform and to what extent.

End feeds directly into Renewal, transferring the remnants of concluded existence for reuse.

Renewal feeds directly into Beginning, closing the existential loop.

Continuum underpins all other Primordials, allowing them to function as a unified system rather than as isolated forces.

This was how it existed in every other universe out there, in a boundless, infinitely expanding cosmos.

“Damn all this, it’s making my head hurt,” Lillian, one of the five countesses of the vampire race and also one of the Great Emperor’s wives, muttered while holding her head.

“Well, you are the one who asked me to tell you about existence,” the family head said with a chuckle.

The woman had long, curly, pristine white hair and blue eyes, and she was also the mother of Emperor Damian Ignatius.

Her name was Valentina Ignatius, the sole ruler and queen of the Kingdom of Ignatius.

“Why don’t we stop talking about existence for now? It is still too early for you to learn about it. What I explained to you was like a drop in a bucket,” Valentina continued, swirling her hair. “You will understand everything once you achieve godhood anyway.”

“It still feels too far-fetched for me to achieve godhood,” Countess Lillian Brenlith muttered with a sigh.

“Why do you say that? Among my son-in-law’s new wives, I would say you are the closest to achieving godhood,” Avanora said casually.

She was the mother of Avaline and the queen of the Kingdom of Flanora.

“N-New wives?” Countess Amaya Kuroyami asked, her face slightly red.

“Yes, new wives. You countesses, those werewolves, those high humans, and that elf… The old wives are Amelia, Lenora, my daughter Avaline. I suppose you could count Lilith and Hela as old wives too. Honestly, it is surprising that he has as many wives as he does in this life,” Queen Avanora said.

“W-Why do you say that?” Kathryne asked in a low voice.

“Well, he was rather uptight. He was too focused on making sure our universe survived the assaults. He did not have time for personal indulgence,” Victoria Ignatius said.

She was Valentina Ignatius’s sister and the second in command of the Kingdom of Ignatius.
