Noah remained deliberately silent, recognizing this as a rhetorical prelude rather than a genuine question requiring a response.
She continued with her voice booming with regal authority.
"THE Creature gave his Everythings to Existence all those eons ago...distributed his fundamental essence across reality’s totality. It was channeled initially through Paradox. But even Paradox could not contain it completely, could not bottle something so vast."
WAA!
Her eyes blazed with white brilliance.
"So his Everythings spread throughout Existence itself...permeating everything, becoming foundation upon which all else was constructed. THE Creature’s Civilization... is THE PRIMORDIAL CIVILIZATION OF EXISTENCE!"
BOOM!
The words landed with such tremendous philosophical and existential weight that both Noah and Sigrid’s forms buzzed!
THE Primordial Civilization of Existence!
Noah’s mind raced through implications.
How immense must that be? How incomprehensibly powerful? How overpowered?!
If that designation is accurate...if his Civilization genuinely encompasses Existence itself...
Then he cannot possibly be Dead. If his Civilization was the very framework of Existence, then his termination would mean reality’s collapse. He must persist in some form, somehow, somewhere.
BOOM!
The logic seemed inescapable even if mechanisms remained mysterious.
As Noah processed these shocking revelations on his side of the transparent veil, THE Dead Order observed them.
She settled more comfortably upon her throne before beginning a comprehensive explanation.
"To properly understand Primordial Civilizations, you must recognize they emerged from the earliest throes of existence itself...before conventional time, before established causality, before the weavings that now seem fundamental were even conceived."
"The Primordial Civilizations are... THE Creature’s Civilization of Existence, serving as foundation for literally everything. The Primordial Civilization of Hunger...THE First Hunger’s framework that established appetite and growth as principles. The Primordial Civilization of Paradox...contradiction and impossibility given structured form."
"The Primordial Civilization of Origin, beginnings and genesis as organized authority. The Primordial Civilization of Concept, categorical understanding and definitional frameworks. The Primordial Civilization of Emotive, feeling and passion structured systematically. The Primordial Civilization of Spirit, essence and vitality as coordinated whole. Alongside all the others."
She paused for emphasis.
"And of course, The Primordial Civilization of Order...my weavings that established structure and systematic organization."
Oh!
Her expression intensified as she continued!
"These Primordial Civilizations don’t merely occupy portions of existence...they permeate the vast expanses of reality itself. They are woven into the fabric of how things operate. Any Civilization that emerges subsequently, regardless of refinement or accumulated power, cannot genuinely compare because they are built upon foundations that Primordial Civilizations established."
She leaned forward with intensity:
"Primordial Civilizations possess inherent advantages that cannot be replicated through cultivation. First...they carry precedence- they existed before alternatives, which means Existence itself recognizes their authority as more fundamental than competing Civilizations."
"When a Primordial Civilization conflicts with newer structure, existence defaults to honoring the elder claim. Kids like you may start questioning soon why Existence is unfair...Existence is not set up to support you. Never you."
HUUM!
Her fingers drummed against her throne’s armrest with a measured rhythm.
"Second: they maintain permeation- their principles extend throughout existence rather than being localized to specific domains or followers. My Order influences how things naturally organize across all territories, not just where my active attention focuses. I gain weavings even in places I have no infleunce in...even in The Lands of The Living."
"Paradox introduces contradiction into fundamental operations regardless of THE Living Paradox’s direct involvement."
She continued with building momentum!
"Third: they possess irreducibility...you cannot break them down into simpler components because they themselves represent the simplest possible expression of their Weavings."
WAA!
"Order cannot be reduced to a more basic organizational concept. Existence cannot be decomposed into something more fundamental. They are axiomatic rather than derived."
OH!
"Fourth: they demonstrate inevitability...attempting to eliminate Primordial Civilizations is functionally equivalent to attempting to eliminate the principle it embodies from reality itself."
"You cannot remove Paradox without eliminating contradiction from existence. You cannot destroy Origin without preventing all beginnings. The concepts and the Civilizations are inseparable at fundamental level. So all the Civilizations that THE Living Paradox Collapsed...they are not truly gone. They cannot be. Suppressed. Decimated. Collapsed. Use whatever words you want. But they are here. They will be here."
...!
"Fifth: they enable Existential Communication...all beings across existence comprehend their principles instinctively because those principles are woven into how consciousness itself operates. Everyone understands what Order means. Everyone grasps Existence as concept."
"This provides Primordial Civilizations with influence that transcends...absolutely everything. You know my Order. You know Paradox. Even without me doing anything, I have likely fed off any actions you or countless other creatures made...aligning with Order."
" I feed off of Order across Existence right now, though I am limited when it comes to access to THE Loom. But at this very moment, I am feeding on such a steady stream of Order that even what you two are siphoning is negligable...for now anyways."
"It is why I am not too enraged...yet. You are like mosquitos...harmless fucking things, for now. But you could become a major annoyance. It is also why I am not afraid of the future as Order will always be there. When THE Loom opens and all the eons of Order within it flood out...I will feed off of it and become my most powerful."
BOOM!
