"I can't tell you everything now, can I?" Akasha spoke with a small grin. The two then moved throughout the tower towards the exit. Selene nodded hearing this; she knew nobody would simply spill everything about them. Her authority was no longer active either, so she didn't mind it.
"You are truly interesting. So, how do you plan to find what you're looking for?" She asked him.
"To be honest I am not sure. I know pretty much everything about this world now and there is nothing about a special artifact. The only thing special about this world is the sleeping consciousness."
Hearing this Selene stopped walking and looked at the back of Akasha with slightly wide eyes.
"What do you mean sleeping consciousness? This world is only a High-level and only Supreme Worlds have a conscious." She asked because this didn't make sense at all. How can a High-level world develop consciousness?
"Heh, this world has quite the history. Anyways we will go wake this world up from its slumber. From there we can learn what that God wants."
Selene caught back up with him as he said this. Now both of them stood outside of the tower. Akasha then looked at het and touched her shoulder. Selene already figures what he was about to do so she didn't react.
And in the next moment they disappeared.

World Core
The World Core of a world is much different than what one would expect. For worlds without a conscious, then you would find some sort of core floating in a separate space connected to this world. Usually, these cores were round shaped and shined with colors. However, this was not the case for worlds with developed sentience.
Worlds were much like any other living species that wasn't born as a humanoid. Eventually after some time when they're strong enough cultivators would change into a humanoid form. This is the same for worlds with sentience.
Currently in the world core space of Kalpa was a huge room. The room was Ancient; it had none of the modern looking furniture like some places had on Kalpa. There were rugs, mirrors, tea sets, and zafus in this spacious room.
The color of this room was purple and white. The rugs, sheets on the bed and even the zafus were purple. And in this room, there was a beautiful middle-aged woman with purple hair lying in the bed. She laid down on her back with her hands resting on her chest.
She looked like someone in a coffin. She wasn't breathing or making any movements whatsoever she only laid there.
Then suddenly two beings appeared in this room. A man with grey hair and a woman with black hair.
This was obviously Akasha and Selene.
Standing in the middle of this spacious room the two began to observe everything.
"I definitely didn't expect this...." Akasha said as he noticed the sleeping woman. He knew very well worlds could take humanoid forms, but he expected like a core that could shift into a form. Not a beautiful woman looking petrified.
"This place feels wonderful.... the mana here is much purer than the rest of the world." Selene said as she continued looking around. She then noticed the woman too and she raised an eyebrow.
"She's beautiful...."
Akasha nodded hearing this and then walked forward towards the bed. He then reached out his and once he got close enough. He grabbed the hand of the woman and then began to channel mana into her.
"I'm not sure if this will wake her up or not, but I will channel my mana into her until she wakes up."
"W-what? You plan to channel an entire world with mana until she wakes?" Selene asked with some minor difficulty. I mean normally she wouldn't be so shocked, but this guy literally kept saying the most outrageous stuff.
"Yes, don't worry I will be fine. We can continue our little game while we wait."
Selene sighed hearing that then she sat down on one of the zafus. Then she used her authority again and asked a question.
"How old are you?" This was another thing that bothered her. She couldn't even determine the bone age of Akasha. Yet another thing that should've been impossible.
Akasha smiled a bit awkwardly hearing that.
'Well fuck, technically I am only about 37ish, but I am also older than time itself if we're being completely honest.'
He thought to himself before he shrugged and spoke
"Well, I am around 36 or 37 if we're talking mentally." This was technically not a lie or a half truth. He really didn't know his bone age, so he only told her the age he went by.
This response of course caused Selene to raise any eyebrow, but she didn't pry too much.
Akasha then asked a question.
"Are you married by any chance?" His question completely threw Selene off. She expected something more serious or at least something important. She didn't know why he would ask that, but she answered anyways.
"No, I have never been in a relationship before. In this life or the last one, I never found time to enjoy things like that when I was younger. Now I am millions of years old, it's a bit late for a granny like me, don't you think?"
These words caused Akasha to shift his eyes towards her. Seeing the slightly sadden face he shook his head.
"You're playing right? This is literally a cultivation world... Who gives a fuck about age? I mean as long as you're not a minor then it's fine right? To be honest, I have two lovers much older than you and I love them dearly."
"Eh? Two lovers and they are both older than me?" Selene repeated like she misheard him or something.
"Haha yes, I would let you meet them, but you would have to wait until my main body is back around." Akasha laughed and casually revealed that he was a clone. Not that he cared to hide it anyways, not from Selene in specific. This beauty had already made it onto his list, and she didn't even know it.
"Wait! You're a clone?!" Selene exclaimed.
"Of course, otherwise I would have definitely teased you earlier. Don't worry though my main body will be back around in a few years."

And just like that the two chatted with each other for an entire year. This whole time Akasha never once stopped channeling energy into the sleeping beauty. This caused changes to appear all around the world of Kalpa.
Ancient structures, lost inheritances, secret realms, and even more mana appeared. All of these things were stuff the world conscious planned to use for its inhabitants over time. Akasha however sped this process up with him using his infinite mana. While all of this happened the world never lost its unity, and they became stronger together.
Currently Akasha was still channeling his mana. He hadn't moved from this position not once and Selene was the same as she sat on her zafu. The two of them had become friends during this time. With all of the questions asked between the two it would be impossible not to grow closer.
As he continued to channel his mana, he finally noticed a change. The sleeping beauty eyes began to flutter. And then finally they shot open.
HUMMMM!
