Chapter 1843 Immortals & Their Plane of Existence

"You know why the Immortals create clones, right?"
Instead of answering his previous question directly, the Goddess Great Mother asked Eren another question.
"Um... they create clones to generate Origin Force and spread their faith," Eren replied casually.
The butcher had experienced this personally. Ever since he had created his pseudo-avatars, his Origin Force Points farming had increased sevenfold, boosting the amount of Origin Force Points he had accumulated.
He still held significantly more Origin Force Points than most of the other demigods despite his overwhelming expenditure of them.
"That is indeed the case. But there's a more crucial reason behind why the Immortals send their avatars to mortal lands," the goddess looked at Eren and smiled before adding further.
"They create clones so that they can stay Immortal. Otherwise, they'd experience Godfall," the goddess decided to speak cryptic, which Eren wasn't able to decode because of a lot of the blank spaces in his understanding related to divinity.
Eren's brows furrowed even further. He had many questions swirling inside his mind at this point. However, he did not voice them, instead allowing the goddess to explain more.
"One of the most crucial requirements for becoming a god from one's demigod status is to form a plane of existence," the goddess chose her words carefully as she spoke.
"This plane of existence is called an Immortal Plane. This is why there are so many Immortal Planes in existence. The current Immortal Planes represent many Immortals and their divinities.
That is not to say that all the Immortal Planes have a legitimate owner. There are also barren Immortal Planes whose spatial boundaries had been corroded because their creator died somehow.
There are some half-baked Immortal Planes because of someone failing to achieve divinity. Then there are Immortal Planes that are in their nascent stage.
Anyway, once a demigod has successfully created a plane of existence for themselves, they are almost certain to become a god. When they take over this plane, they are able to write the rules of reality within the plane.
As such, after taking over the plane, they become Immortals. After all, they are the owners of the Immortal Plane. It'd be stupid to not write rules that are favorable to them.
A plane of existence is defined by an Immortal's Path, their Individuality so to speak. It's like their home and personal fort in which nobody can challenge them.
Since the plane of existence obeys their command, the one who infiltrates such a plane is bound by the restrictions set by the Immortal lord of that plane. Do you understand what I'm talking about?"
Eren didn't speak, sporting a brooding look. He had to admit that he was learning a lot, even though he still didn't completely understand the goddess' words. The goddess could tell what Eren was thinking and chuckled before adding further.
"Don't worry, Eren. It's not your fault," the goddess assured in a calm voice.
"In your case, you became a demi-god even before achieving Sagehood. So of course, you don't understand what I am talking about.
Let's just say that achieving a Sagehood is the first step in understanding how the Existential Concepts work and the cause-and-effect fabric work.
The Calamity you face while breaking through the S-Rank is not only a test but also a form of blessing. It makes you understand a lot of worldly laws about the boundless cosmos.
Most importantly, you understand the concepts of space and time and form a foundational understanding about them after breaking through the S-Rank. And this applies to everyone irrespective of their Paths or individual peculiarities.
This is why all the S-Ranked entities were able to create Purgatories and Utopias after becoming Sages in Anfang. The might of altering spatial fabric is the most fundamental power of the S-Rank. Although most S-Rankers won't be able to exert their understanding because of their lack of talent, the understanding provided to them is more or less standardized.
The same rule applies in Labh Salem as well. Let's just say that the plane of existence is just the higher variant of those established isolated domains that most S-ranked entities are known for.
So if someone belonging to the divine faction becomes an Immortal, they create what the mortals refer to as heaven for themselves. And when these Immortals belong to the demonic faction, the mortals call their plane of existence hell."
"I see," Eren breathed a sigh of relief. He then processed the goddess' words slowly in his head and couldn't help nodding at her.
Eren had always wondered how the Sages were able to create isolated domains in Anfang to leave their inheritance in.
After all, logically speaking, only those who had Elemental Attainments related to time and space element should have been able to establish isolated domains for themselves.
How could Sages with varying Individualities all be equally qualified to create isolated domains?
Only now did he understand that the Calamity faced by the Sages at the time of their breakthrough was the reason behind their increased capabilities and understanding related to the matters of time and space.
In Anfang, there was always a belief that the time and space elements weren't actually elements but lack of them. Thanks to the memories obtained from God Aleph, Eren could tell that the concepts of time and space were definitely one of the Existential Concepts of the boundless cosmos. Although Eren had nascent knowledge about the concepts, one could not say that he had established his foundation in them.
The goddess allowed Eren to ponder for a while before speaking further.
"Eren, just like I said, the Immortal Planes act like a fort for the Immortals inside which they have an unfair advantage. Their supposedly "Immortal" bodies can't be harmed while they are secured inside their own stronghold.
As such, nobody can kill an Immortal when they are inside their fort, inside their Immortal Plane. But do you know what happens to them if and when they decide to step out of their impregnable fort out of their own volition?"
It was as if a lot of gears in Eren's mind had clicked and started spinning simultaneously. Only now did Eren understand why the Immortals often sent their clones into mortal planes.
"So that's why. The Immortals won't be Immortals anymore when they are in the mortal plane. And they can be targeted by other Immortals when they are outside their Immortal Plane.
