Chapter 259: The Infinite Ascension - Ten Mana Circles
Sung Jin-Woo's relentless pursuit of transcendence drove him to explore the secrets of body cultivation, magic, and mana-circles. Within an ancient tome, he uncovered profound truths: the creation of mana-circles around the heart was the foundation of a mage's power. Those who achieved ten mana-circles transcended mortality, becoming demigods or even gods, their power reaching levels considered infinite.
For most beings, such a feat was unimaginable. But for Sung Jin-Woo, already possessing a black heart and a dark silver celestial heart, the divine threshold was merely a stepping stone. He sought something far greater—a state of existence beyond even godhood.

The Journey into the Inner World
Determined to ascend further, Sung Jin-Woo retreated into one of his inner worlds, where time dilation granted him an unmatched advantage. While only a microsecond passed in the external universe, inside the inner world, 300 years stretched before him—an eternity to refine and perfect his mastery over mana-circles.
Within this timeless realm, Jin-Woo focused on his three hearts:
1. Original Heart: The heart of his mortal origins, now infused with godlike resilience.
2. Black Heart: A wellspring of primordial darkness, pulsing with boundless power.
3. Dark Silver Celestial Heart: A divine creation born of his unique evolution, radiating celestial energy.

Creating the Thirty Mana-Circles
Through centuries of relentless cultivation, Jin-Woo forged ten mana-circles for each heart:
1. Ten Mana-Circles for the Original Heart: These circles represented his foundation, symbolizing absolute mastery over mana and magic. They harmonized perfectly with his mortal origins, amplifying his base power exponentially.
2. Ten Mana-Circles for the Black Heart: These circles embodied the essence of shadow and darkness. Each one added immeasurable depth to his ability to manipulate the void and control the shadow domain.
3. Ten Mana-Circles for the Dark Silver Celestial Heart: These circles radiated divine light, representing celestial creation and infinite potential. They enhanced his ability to create, manipulate, and destroy at will.
With thirty perfected mana-circles, Sung Jin-Woo's mana capacity soared to unimaginable heights, surpassing even the most powerful deities in existence.

The Godly Body
The transformation didn't stop at his hearts. Jin-Woo refined every part of his body into a vessel for mana storage and manipulation:
Brain: Enhanced to process mana and divine knowledge with infinite precision, granting him omniscient-like understanding.
Lungs: Reinforced to absorb mana from the very fabric of reality, making him a perpetual engine of power.
Liver and Other Organs: Modified to serve as auxiliary reservoirs for mana, ensuring he could maintain endless energy flow.
Each organ became a finely-tuned system, allowing him to wield mana with unparalleled efficiency.

Refining the Clones
Having ascended to an even higher state, Jin-Woo turned his attention to his 1,100,000 clones. To preserve his newfound power and maintain the balance of his presence across the multiverse, he decreased their strength even further:
The power of 1,100,000 clones was reduced from 0.00000000001% to 0.0000000000000001% of his original might.
His eleven main clones retained 0.00000000001% power, ensuring they remained capable of fulfilling their critical roles.
This adjustment reflected not a decrease in their utility but a recalibration of the universe itself to accommodate Jin-Woo's vast, evolving presence.

A Power Beyond Comprehension
Sung Jin-Woo now stood as an entity beyond even the gods. His mana sources included:
1. The Black Heart: A reservoir of primordial darkness.
2. The Dark Silver Celestial Heart: A wellspring of divine creation.
3. The Ten Mana-Circles for Each Heart: Thirty perfected circles granting infinite capacity.
4. His Divine Organs: Additional sources of mana, augmenting his overall power.
This unprecedented combination made him more godly than ever, a being capable of reshaping the multiverse at will. The boundaries of light, shadow, and creation no longer constrained him; he transcended even the highest tiers of existence.

The Eternal Ascendant
As Sung Jin-Woo emerged from his inner world, only a microsecond had passed in the outside universe. Yet in that infinitesimal moment, he had transformed into a force that could rewrite the laws of existence.
From his throne in the Umbra Citadel, Jin-Woo gazed upon the multiverse. His thirty mana-circles radiated divine energy, and his very presence caused the fabric of reality to tremble.
He was no longer merely a god or a ruler of shadows—he was an eternal ascendant, a being whose power transcended comprehension, ensuring the multiverse's stability for eternity.
