• Eternal Origin Realm cultivator – One who rewrites laws, birth reality, and alter eternity.

• Entire dynasties, sects, and empires rise or fall based on the whim of powerful cultivators.

📘 # Final Words: The Cosmic Ladder

• The journey of cultivation is not just upward, but inward — toward truth, will, and origin.

• Max's path is unlike any before him. His soul is marked not by fate but by defiance.

• In a world of endless realms and infinite power, only one question remains:

Can a mortal soul climb past the gods and become the origin of existence itself?
