Opening the portal back to the Kadath Universe using the Arcane Crest of the Imperial of End and Ruin was a rather simple thing. Especially right now, the Arcane Crest on this Avatar was getting stronger due to the continuous enhancement from the comprehension of the Concept of Ruination.
With the power of the Arcane Crest of the Imperial of End and Ruin, I opened the portal to the Kadath Universe straight to the Numengard's Sealed Dungeons, where my True Body was located, and I then threw the Aether through the portal.
And just like that, the Primal Void Wonder of the Ruination has safely arrived at the Kadath Universe, where my True Body would start observing the Aether to speed up the comprehension of the Concept of Ruination.

Kadath Universe, Higher Dimensional World of Baator, 9th Layer of the Baator, Nurmengard, The Sealed Dungeons of the Nurmengard.
Around the same time in the Kadath Universe, when my True Body received the Aether, the effect was almost instantaneous the second I touched the Aether.

...
There were tons of notifications that I was getting, because each 1% of the Ruination Concept was comprehended, the Stardust Energy increased by 100 Units, and this number was only climbing at lightning speed.
My body assimilated the Aether on its own as I felt that the Aether was dissolving in my body, affecting both Soul and Physical Body, and giving me the comprehension of the Concept of the Ruination straight away.
Now, it seemed that the Aether wasn't just the Primal Void Wonder of the Ruination and something that bore a tremendous amount of Ruination Essence, the purest form of the Concept of Ruination...
It was something else entirely.
The Aether was the materialization of the Concept.
[Host's Soul is undergoing Conceptual Sublimation.]
[Host's Soul has finished Conceptual Sublimation.]
[Host's Soul has Evolved to the Paragon Soul.]
The Conceptual Sublimation of my Soul has essentially elevated my Soul to the standards of Paragons, meaning that I was making the first steps towards the Ascension to the Paragon Realm.
I initially thought that the Aether was maximally a Primal Void Wonder that was just a crystallization of the Ruiination Essence. In my initial plans, I have counted on the following steps.
First, I planned to assimilate the Aether and use it to speed up the comprehension of the Concept of the Ruination. Depending on the result, I would then either reach the Paragon Realm directly or would need to go to the Endless Void to search for the final piece.
In the Desolate Region of the Endless Void, there was a location known as Crimson Sea, which was very potent in the Destruction, Ruin, and Death.
If the Aether didn't allow me to break through to the Paragon Realm, I had planned to enter the Crimson Sea to observe the Ruination in there and comprehend the remaining bits that were missing.
But now that was useless.
The Aether was the crystallization of the Concept itself.

...
It didn't take me as long as I reached the Comprehension Rate of 50%, which triggered another transformation in my body, as the Concept of Ruin was directly reconstructing my fleshy body, because I wished to retain one.
Many of the Paragons, from what I heard, discarded their physical bodies and existed only as materialization of their Concept, something that I didn't really want to do. It was the same reason why I never abandoned my physical body when becoming the Being of Law or when comprehending the Aspect when I reached Tier 13.
One of the main reasons why I never abandoned my physical body, aside from not losing the pleasures of flesh, was also because of its uses, like being able to accommodate Primordial Energies like Stardust within my physical body.

[Reserves Stardust (Demonic-God Mutation) have been increased by 1,000 Units.]
When my comprehension of the Concept of Ruination reached 90%, I felt so powerful that I could destroy the entire Universe easily. Even though the entities at the Tier 13 could affect the entire Universe with their power, destroying the entire Universe was another thing altogether.
It wasn't easy for me to achieve this kind of path, as it required a tremendous amount of resources.
The Aether that now existed in both my physical body and my soul was being assimilated at lightning speed.

[Host's Comprehension of the Concept of Ruination has crossed 98%.]
[Host's Comprehension of the Concept of Ruination has crossed 99%.]
After another ten hours, the Aether was almost compeltely assimilated by my True Body as my Comprehension of the Concept of Ruination stood at the 99%.
The Aether, as the materialization of Concept, was as the name suggested.
It was the entire Concept of Ruination made solid.
Whomever found it and used it...
If they were compatible and fated, they would become Paragon.
I focused on the last remaining shard of the Aether that was floating in the center of my Soul as I used all the willpower that I had as the remnant of the Aether shattered.
