But the horror of the Great Old Ones far exceeded my imagination. Accompanying my revival was a new life of corruption… Perhaps only Great Old Ones can resist Great Old Ones.
Great Old One, or Great Old Dominator[1] refers to a level above Sequence 0,[2] where one becomes a direct representation of a certain aspect of the universe.[3] To be a complete Great Old One, one needs to accommodate the corresponding Sefirah, plus the Uniqueness and at least one Sequence 1 Beyonder Characteristics of each Pathway in the group.[4][5]
Above the Sequence is an umbrella term that refers to existences involving the Sefirot or higher. It includes Great Old Ones,[2][6] Outer Deities,[2], Half Great Old Ones,[7][8][9] and Quasi Great Old Ones.[10]
On Earth, there are nine Sefirot corresponding to the nine Above the Sequence groups and twenty-two Standard Pathways. In the Cosmos, there is an unknown number of Outer Deities that are Great Old Ones. By year 1358 of the Fifth Epoch, the ten most powerful Outer Deities in the entire Universe had gathered around the solar system. Some of "Them" wished to retrieve "Their" Sefirot and Beyonder Characteristics that had been ripped from "Them" and were attracted to Earth when the Original Creator awakened in the Pre-Epoch. Some of "Them" had the hope of getting neighboring Sefirot, Uniquenesses, and High-Sequence Beyonder Characteristics on Earth that "They" could accommodate[11].
To Great Old Ones, the number of authorities has a certain connection to level and status, but not entirely. The corresponding characteristics, power, and symbols are equally important.[5]
To put "Their" power in perspective, Klein surmised that the other Sequence 0 deities (excluding the Evernight Goddess should "She" become a Great Old One) would be able to tie down one or two Outer Deities together, and that it would be considered a miracle. It would take nine to fight one, or even more.[11]
Levels of Great Old Ones[]
According to Madam Magician, there are three levels of Great Old Ones:[14]
- Most Great Old Ones on Earth and Outer Deities in the Cosmos are at the first level. "They" can still accommodate another Sefirah that has similar, close, or adjacent symbolism to "Their" own. This would make "Them" equal in power to the Pillars, though "They" still wouldn't possess the symbolism of Pillars.
- Between the first and third levels, there's the second level: the Pillars. "They" are the foundation for the universe's maintenance and development and possess special symbolisms, each supporting one of the three layers of the world: the Spirit World, the Astral World, and the Physical World.
- The Original Creator is at the third level, representing the ultimate, representing chaos, beginning and end, representing the unknowable and undiscussable. No existence can surpass this level, and this level can only have one being, and it's very unstable because both aggregation and division are "His" instincts.
General Powers/Characteristics of Great Old Ones[]
- All Authorities and Traits of True Gods, at a higher level.
- Universal Symbolism: "They" become a direct representation of a certain aspect of the universe.[3]
- "They" are able to respond to prayers across the universe and exert influence on it as a whole in a general way. "They" can also apply "Their" symbols in any known location.[15]
- For example, the Calamity of Destruction can reduce or increase the frequency of disasters across the entire universe, or create disasters in any known location.
- However, in actual combat, the immediate area of effect is usually limited to a single Star System or the radiation zone of a black hole, which is achieved mostly by reality-oriented symbolisms like those of the Supernova Dominator or Calamity of Destruction. "Their" short term symbolic impacts also remained mostly confined to this range, with only minor, manageable disruptions spreading throughout the universe. The farther from the battlefield, the weaker the disturbance.[15]
- A Star System refers to tens or hundreds of times the size of the Solar System, which is the range "They" can impact in a single strike. Afterwards, the impact will continue to spread outward until it dissipates, with the final range of influence reaching the size of a Galaxy.[16]
- "Their" sensing range does not exceed a large Star System unless pre-established mystical connections existed in areas outside this range.[15]
- In addition, when becoming a Great Old One, there is a strengthening of related symbolism across the entire Universe which is a one time benefit thing. Under normal circumstances, a Great Old One would need to spend time allowing their symbolism to spread.[17]
- Using Authorities and Symbols does not consume spirituality.[18]
- "They" are able to respond to prayers across the universe and exert influence on it as a whole in a general way. "They" can also apply "Their" symbols in any known location.[15]
- Boon Bestowal:
- Pathway Reorganization: The number of Pathways "They" inherently own is fixed.[19] However, when giving Boons, "They" can split or merge "Their" own Pathways; however, "Their" Symbols and Uniquenesses are core; everything else can be split or recombined based on this.[20]
- Boon Quantity and Quality: Since Boons come at the expense of "Their" own power, the higher level of the Boons and the more Boons "They" grant, the greater the burden to "Them".[22]
- The number of Angels "They" can create with purely Boons and no Beyonder Characteristics depends on the number of Pathways "They" own.[23]
- Since a Great Old One requires the Uniqueness and at least one Sequence 1 Beyonder Characteristics of each Pathway, if "They" grant Boons at this level, there is even a chance to affect "Their" state. For example:
- "They" can grant Boons at the level of a True God, but only for a brief period of time, otherwise it will affect "Their" own stability.[24]
- The number of Sequence 1 Boons "They" can give depends on the number of Uniquenesses and Sequence 1 Beyonder Characteristics "They" possess. Assuming "They" possess the Uniqueness and all three Sequence 1 Beyonder Characteristics of each Pathway, "They" could give out at most two Sequence 1 Boons per Pathway, unless if it's a special Pathway like the Visionary Pathway.[25]
- Knowledge-based Corruption: All existences at the level of the Sefirot and above have the characteristic that, once an individual knows enough information about "Them", "They" can establish a connection to that individual and cause corruption through that connection. Only existences at the Angel level or above can sever this connection in some ways.[11]
- Unified Consciousness: "Their" Consciousness is a unified whole, indivisible even when in a consciousness space or under similar circumstances. This is the distinction between Dual-Pathway True Gods and Great Old Ones.[26]
- If one has not achieve a unified consciousness, "They" cannot be considered a complete Great Old One even if "They" possess the Sefirah and all necessary Uniquenesses and Sequence 1 Beyonder Characteristics. "They" could only temporarily display power close to that of a Great Old One.
- Universal Domain/Dimension: All Great Old Ones have dimension/realm which spans the universe.[27]
- Astral World: "They" can transform things like stars into Concepts and transport them via the Astral World.[28]
- Information Control: All Great Old Ones can control and influence their own information that is reflected on the Spirit World.[29]
Innate Great Old Ones[]
They are either personas split from the Original Creator, His direct offspring, or the first beings born from the Great Mother. They had essentially appeared in this universe before the Original Creator awakened and completely self-destructed, Their status originating from the old era.
Innate Great Old Ones are also referred to as True Deities. In a narrow sense, only the following can be called True Deities:[30]
- The Original Creator.
- The personas split from "Him".
- "His" three direct offspring.
- The Outer Deities born from "His" union with the Mother Goddess of Depravity.
This is the condition that subsequent advancers can never achieve. Even if they truly become Great Existences, they would only be newly born Above the Sequence.[1]
True Godhood[]
True Deities possess True Godhood, which is the indestructible spirit left in "Their" Sefirot and the corresponding Uniquenesses and Beyonder Characteristics. This is the godhood that every later arriver must contend with.[30] The higher the level of a Beyonder following "Their" pathways is and the more knowledge of "Them" are known, the more "Their" remnant psyche awakens on the Beyonder's body, increasing the chance for "Them" to revive on or take control of the Beyonder. Even after "Their" death, "They" have a chance to revive through "Their" indelible psyche within the Sefirot, Uniquenesses, and Beyonder Characteristics that once belonged to "Them".
- The essences of godhood in different Beyonder Characteristics are different, and is symbolized by the sequence name. The purpose of the Acting Method is to deceive the mental imprint of the True Deities within the Beyonder Characteristics and digest it bit by bit, by acting and pretending to align with the godhood inside them.
Godhood Instincts[]
Godhood's tone is fundamentally madness, chaos, filled with desires for destruction and creation.[14] In addition, each True Deity possess "Their" own Godhood Instinct, which is determined by "Their" Sefirot and Uniquenesses (and the symbolisms they represent), affecting "Their" tendency to love or destroy.[31]
- For example, whenever a situation arose that could threaten the entire universe, the godhood instinct of the Circle of Inevitability would compel "Him" to perform redemption, since this was perhaps "His" most fundamental symbolism and the reason "He" had been born as the child of the Original Creator and the Mother Goddess of Depravity.[32]
If True Deities were to lose a part of "Their" Sefirah, depending on which symbolisms and authorities is torn away, "Their" tendency to love or destroy would change accordingly. For example:
- After re-accommodating the Brood Hive, the Mother Goddess of Depravity would become more "motherly" in comparison to when "She" only possessed the Physical World and Evil symbolisms and authorities.[31]
- The complete Mother Tree of Desire had a certain inclination toward temperance of controlling desire. However, this changed after the "Temperance" part of "Her" was torn away.[33]
Convergence Instinct[]
True Deities have an inherent Godhood Instinct for Convergence upon oneself. The higher the level, the stronger the instinct. If one exceeds the level of the Pillar, just accommodating an additional Sefirah will lead to being controlled by the convergence instinct in an irreversible manner. "They" would be unable to restrain "Themselves" from actively consuming more Sefirot until "They" become the embodiment of the entire Universe, which is also the innate instinct of the Original Creator.[34][3]
Emotions beyond Godhood Instincts[]
Beyond "Their" Godhood Instinct, True Deities would still have the most basic self-awareness of a living being's core and various instincts: selfishness, greed, survival, indifference, only caring about oneself, only doing things beneficial to oneself, not influenced or constrained by group morals, group interactions, or group perceptions.[35] "They" can experience anger and violence, and can exhibit extreme and maddening tendencies and emotions.[36]
Advancement Condition[]
To become a complete Great Old One, one has to satisfy the following conditions:
- Accommodated the Sefirah, plus the Uniqueness and at least one Sequence 1 Beyonder Characteristic of each Pathway in the group.
- Completely merged with the above components to form a cohesive whole and achieved a Unified Consciousness.
Below are some known specific methods for different existences to achieve the above conditions.
For Beyonders following the Pathway System[]
There is no advancement ritual required to become a Great Old One since no ritual can change the awakening of the Original Creator's will, but the order of accommodation can improve self-awareness to some extent and enhance the success rate:[37]
- Become a Sequence 0 of a pathway, then control and fuse with the Sefirah, and lastly, accommodate the other Uniquenesses. This is the best option.
- Become a Dual-Pathway True God, then control and fuse with the Sefirah, and lastly, accommodate the other Uniquenesses. This is neither the best nor the worst option. This has hope of success, but not a great chance.[38]
- Fuse with the Sefirah last. This is the worst option.
Essentially, integrating neighboring Uniquenesses before fully accommodating the Sefirah would enhance the will and spirit of the Innate Great Old Ones (i.e., Godhood) inside the Sequence 0's body, accelerating "Their" recovery and significantly disadvantaging the Sequence 0 in "Their" struggle to accommodate the Sefirah. The more additional Pathways the Sequence 0 accommodated, the harder it is for "Them" to succeed.[39]
The above is the general approach, though some Pathways also have their own unique details, like the Calamity of Destruction Pathways.[38]
For Sefirot' Consciousnesses[]
The Sefirot sealed in the Western Continent came alive after the fusion and influence of generations of Dao Integrators in the Western Continent. Since "Their" consciousnesses are interwoven with too many external spirits, even with all the components, "They" cannot immediately undergo a fundamental transformation, and might take decades or centuries for a new, Unified Consciousness to emerge, enabling a Great Old One to truly manifest in reality.[40]
For Dao Integrators[]
A Dao Integrator can consume potion, advancing from Sequence 9 to Sequence 0, and retrieve the remaining Uniquenesses and Sequence 1 Beyonder Characteristics to become a Great Old One.[41]
The Nine Great Old Ones on Earth[]
On Earth, there are nine Great Old Ones groups corresponding to the nine Sefirot and twenty-two Standard Pathways. The information about the nine Great Old Ones is recorded on the Second Blasphemy Slate.
Among the nine Sefirot on Earth, six were split off directly from the Original Creator when "He" awakened and are embodied by "His" different personas, and three were split off from "His" three direct children.[1][42]

Notes:[43]
- ↑ The Sefirah Brood Hive and the two pathways of Moon Pathway and Mother Pathway on Earth are broken off of the Mother Goddess of Depravity.
- ↑ The Sefirah Nation of Disorder and the two pathways of Justiciar Pathway and Black Emperor Pathway on Earth are broken off of the Son of Chaos. There is still a large portion that remains in the depths of the Cosmos: the Outer Deity "Uncertain Mist".
- ↑ The Sefirah Tenebrous World and the two pathways of Chained Pathway and Abyss Pathway on Earth are broken off of the Mother Tree of Desire.
Whereabouts of Great Old One Components[]
Every Great Old One corresponds to a Sefirah and one or more Pathways, and every Pathway has exactly 1 Uniqueness and 3 Sequence 1 characteristics. Expand below for the current whereabouts of the Great Old One components for the 22 Standard Pathways on Earth. Note that the names below with (?) attached are still conjectures.
Outer Deities[]
There is an unknown number of Outer Deities in the Cosmos. The most powerful Outer Deities in the entire Universe that are currently gathering around the solar system are all Great Old Ones.
| № | Outer Deities | Full Title | Pathways |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Mother Goddess of Depravity | Mother Goddess of Depravity; |
|
| 2 | Mother Tree of Desire | Mother Tree of Desire; |

|
| 9 | High-Dimensional Overseer | The Lord of Dimensions; |
|
| 10 | Goddess of Fate | The Weaver of All Fates; |
Half Great Old Ones[]
Half Great Old Ones refers to those that have transcended the Sequence (Above the Sequence) but have not reached the level of a Great Old One.[8][9] "They" are usually Sequence 0 True Gods with some level of control over the corresponding Sefirah, but either have not possessed all required Uniquenesses and Beyonder Characteristics, or have not completely merged with the Sefirah and the other components to form a cohesive whole and achieved a Unified Consciousness, or both.
The Sefirot's consciousnesses such as the Malevolent Dragon can be considered Half Great Old Ones[45] or Incomplete Great Old One even without the required Uniquenesses and Beyonder Characteristics.[46] In addition, Dao Integrators can briefly reach Half Great Old Ones' power in outburst, if "They" fight without regards for "Themselves"[1][47] by burning "Their" life force and merging with the Sefirah.[48]
The highest tier of Half Great Old Ones is those who have attained all required Uniquenesses and Beyonder Characteristics but are still insufficient. This is the enhanced version of the state of the Sefirot holders in The Apocalypse.[48]

| No | - | ||||
| No | - | ||||
Notes:
- ↑ As Sequence 0 Death, "He" planned to use the River of Eternal Darkness to fuse with the
Red Priest Uniqueness to create a brand new Great Old One path. "He" went mad, but also became a lot stronger.[34]
Klein referred to "Him" as being "equivalent to Half a Great Old One".[49] - ↑ As the initial fusion between 2 Sequence 0 Adam and the True Creator, "He" activated and used the Chaos Sea by using Arrodes and the Second Blasphemy Slate. "He" Envisioned the three Uniquenesses of the Sun, Tyrant, an White Tower Pathways and accommodated them.
The narration referred to "Him" as "exceed the limitations of the Sequences and became Half a Great Old One".[51] - ↑ As a newly-advanced Sequence 0, he was the owner of Sefirah Castle but had not accommodated it. During The Fool's Gambit, he was forced to awaken the will of the Celestial Worthy within him to gain better control of Sefirah Castle to fight against Amon. At the end of the fight, he was affected by the law of convergence and was forcibly merged with one Key of Stars and at least one Worm of Time characteristic from Amon.
Pallez Zoroast referred to him as "equivalent to Half a Lord of Mysteries".[52] - ↑ On June 25, 1360, Klein completed his confrontation and fusion with the Celestial Worthy, accommodating Sefirah Castle as a single-pathway True God—The Fool.[53] He had not retrieved the Uniquenesses and Beyonder Characteristics of the Error and Door Pathways from Gehrman Sparrow who was in the Astral World.
The narration referred to him as "Half a Great Old One",[54] and "Half a Lord of Mysteries.[55]
Quasi Great Old Ones[]
Semantically, Half Great Old Ones and Quasi Great Old Ones are essentially equivalent to each other.[10] In the novel, Quasi Great Old Ones are usually used to refer to existences that are very close to a complete Great Old Ones, in most cases, by possessing all required components, but still come up short of being a complete Great Old One.
List of Existences Referred to as "Quasi Great Old Ones" in the Novel[]
| Period | God | Sefirah | Authorities | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pathway | Uniqueness | Sequence 1 Characteristics | |||
| Third Epoch | Ancient Sun God[Note 1] | Chaos Sea | Envisioned | Envisioned | |
| Yes | 1 | ||||
| Yes | 1 | ||||
| Yes | 1 | ||||
| Yes | 1 | ||||
| The Apocalypse | Celestial Thearch[Note 2] | Nation of Disorder | Yes | 1 | |
| Yes | 1 | ||||
| Celestial Master[Note 4] | Knowledge Moor | Yes | 1 | ||

| Grisha Adam[Note 6] | Chaos Sea | Yes | 3 | ||
| Yes | 3 | ||||
| Yes | 1 | ||||
| Yes | 1 | ||||
| Yes | 3 | ||||
Notes:
- ↑ The Ancient Sun God in the Third Epoch was extremely close to being a Great Old One, and almost equivalent to the owner of the Chaos Sea.[56]
Klein referred to "Him" as "a Quasi Great Old One'".[5]. - ↑ The Nation of Disorder's consciousness is interwoven with too many external spirits. Even with all its components, it may take decades or centuries for a new, unified consciousness to emerge to create The Anarchy.[40]
- ↑ 3.0 3.1 3.2 3.3 The narration referred to the four Sefirot in The Apocalypse as "the four Quasi-Old Ones"[57] and "temporarily exhibit power approaching that of the Great Old Ones".[58]
- ↑ The God of Steam and Machinery became part of the Celestial Master's formation, allowing the latter to use "His" power and integrate with the Knowledge Moor briefly. However, since both of "Them" still lacked time, "They" could not fully integrate into it to create a temporary Demon of Knowledge.[40]
- ↑ "They" lacked the
Chained Uniqueness, and was the weakest among the four Sefirot.[57]
- ↑ "He" had barely maintained a fragile balance, temporarily reaching Quasi Great Old One strength, only through the merging of the God of Knowledge and Wisdom's and Lord of Storms' consciousness through absorbing "Their" Uniquenesses and Beyonder Characteristics.[15][59]
The narration referred to "Him" as "forcibly manifested a state close to that of a Great Old One"[15] and "temporarily reaching Quasi Great Old Ones strength".[59]
Trivia[]
- When asked on his WeChat about the relative powers between the different Great Old Ones, the author replies that, analogically, if this tier's max score is 100:[60]
- The Original Creator's Three Children = 100
- Other Outer Deities = 90–95
- Great Old Ones directly originated from the Original Creator ≈ 95. If they leverage their unique traits, they can exceed 100. For example, a fully realized Calamity of Destruction (merging the Original Creator's masculine/feminine aspects) would be outright overpowered.
