The Undying Lands are filled with life force and Souls, greatly enhancing the power of their Spells.

This Spell is tied to the Undying Lands, it cannot be used outside of it.[11]
The Midwife could no longer cast Soul Traversal upon leaving her Undying Lands.
• Life Burning: This spell can be used one of two ways; targeting themselves or targeting others, the latter requires sufficient wounds and blood.[3]

The child's birth will be accompanied with a bird-like nest where, like a fruit, the outer layer is the epidermis, and the fetus is the pulp. Before birth, the two are joined together, only splitting when ripe.

Sequence 3: Divine Mother
::
Description
A Divine Mother is a weakened version of Sequence 0.[3]
• Divine Conception:⁂ They can Conceive a God without perishing.
As a Divine Mother of future Gods, they are able to suppress storms and absorb them into their body, using them as nourishment for the fetus.[Note 2]
In battle, this lets them absorb attacks through their mouth.
Facing Madam Judgment's Exile, Lady Moon made it surge through her mouth and permeate her body.[30]
The activated Gift of the Land absorbed most of the Lightning generated by the Weather authority from Lumian's team.[33]
In return, the fetus grants the Divine Mother certain special traits, allowing them to acquire traits that typically belong only to Gods in advance, such as the ability to:
Manifest a complete Mythical Creature Form to a limited extent without losing control.
Obtain Godhood for a very brief moment.
The corresponding Godhood of a Divine Mother depends on what is being gestated.[34]
Lady Moon's baby's cries brought forth endless golden sunlight, causing the entire Sacred Heart Cloister to be transformed into a blazing sun, piercing through the turbulent storm and distorting space. It woke up the still-sleeping citizens with the sunlight and made in Trier, where it had been late at night, transforms into a sunny afternoon.[35]
The cries unsettled Madam Magician with a starlit visage, causing a multitude of door-shaped insects to crawl in and out. Miss Justice, her skin covered in grayish-white scales, was compelled to Placate herself. It was the Divine power of the Eternal Blazing Sun, the power of a God indirectly channeled by the newborn baby Lady Moon held.[36]
Its umbilical cord is able to emit a brilliant golden sunlight, warding off all corrosion and influence.[37]
Deeply utilize the Astral World.
The Divine Fetus nestled within their womb empowers them.
Empowered by a Divine Fetus and the essence of the Tree of Shadow, Lady Moon Revived the accumulated Desires from over a millennium in their original corporeal forms, which included multiple Demigods.[38]
They gain the abilities and traits of the gestated God.[39]
Divine Conception relies on external factors; they can't Conceive Gods at will.[40]
∞Mythical Creature Form∞
As a Sequence 3 Beyonder, they can respond to prayers within a certain range.
::
Sequence 2: The Supreme (Broken Pillar)
::
∞AUTHORITIES∞
• Reality: The Broken Pillar represents the authority of Reality, a subordinate version of the corresponding Pillar symbolism.[41]
Any attacks against "Them" will suffer a backlash from the Physical World, imposing various restrictions.
"They" are nearly impossible to kill and are extremely hard to Seal or Exile.
• New Life: "They" gain initial access to the authority that grants all things Spirit.
∞MYTHICAL CREATURE FORM∞
"They" are a complete Mythical Creature. "Their" Mythical Creature Form is a colossal winged female composed of stacked Reproductive Organs. "They" stand loftily, as if holding up the sky itself to prevent it from collapsing, yet "Their" abdomens are entirely hollow.
::
Sequence 1: Valley God (Tree God)
::
Description[43]
The Valley God is the root of heaven and earth. The Tree God, supporting heaven and connecting earth, Proliferates endlessly.
"They" can reach or even surpass other Sequence 0s within their own domain.[44]
It mainly depends on the degree of authority mastery of that sequence. Compared to a Sequence 0 without a similar authority, it's naturally stronger. Compared to a Sequence 0 with a similar authority, it depends on how much authority permissions the Sequence 0 itself has delegated.
∞AUTHORITIES∞
• Proliferation & Reproduction: "They" wield authority over Proliferation and Reproduction.
"They" can bestow Life and grant New Life to Resurrect the Dead.
True Resurrection has prerequisites and time limits; otherwise the Revived being would simply be a monstrous imitation.
"They" can create a new personality, subtly altering the target's mind.
Once Corrupted by "Their" power, escape is impossible unless "They" withdraw "Their" influence—it perpetuates endlessly.
However, some Pathways have abilities to defend against this Corruption such as a Chaos Gastric Juices that can Devour and Digest it.[45]
"They" can revoke Life, inducing instant Death.
• Paramita: Compared to an Attendant of Mysteries' Realm of Mysteries, "Their" Paramita is harder to fully destroy or Seal, but easier to break.[46]
• Divine Conception: A Sequence 1 Divine Mother.
After absorbing the silver-white lightning, resembling a divine tree, a bumpy protrusion emerged from its trunk. The bump quickly split open, birthing a "child". This "child" was composed of countless intertwined silver-white electric snakes, the lightning previously swallowed, now Reborn. The "child" instantly disintegrated, terrifying, bright lightning sweeping the surroundings.[47]
∞↑↓MYTHICAL CREATURE FORM↑↓∞
"Their" Mythical Creature Form resembles an immense greenish oak tree that seems to pierce the heavens.[42]
::
Sequence 0: Chaos Primogenitor
::
∞↑SYMBOLISM↑∞
∞ NASCENT ORIGINAL CREATOR OF THE NEXT UNIVERSE: The Chaos Primogenitor is the Original Sin of the universe, the nascent Original Creator of the next universe. Even though currently "It" is only a Sequence 0 in this universe, "It" holds supreme authority and has the most unique symbolism.[3]
∞ New Life: "It" can endow all things with Spirit, including enemy attacks.[3]
∞Degeneration/Depravity: "It" holds an authority over Depravity.[48]
While the Hanged Man's Degeneration involves self-Corruption, the Chaos Primogenitor's Degeneration is a comprehensive Corruption of body, mind, and Spirit.
Violating one's three outlooks, values, and morals is Degeneration. Violating the Rules established by the Trunsoest Brass Book is also Degeneration.[49]
"Note:
The following abilities are listed under Sower,[16] however, in Circle of Inevitability (Novel), Lumian Lee notes that said abilities are derived from an amalgamation of the pathways under the Mother Goddess of Depravity.[15]
The reason why they feed on storms specifically is because this sequence is a literal representation of Virgin Mary — The Virgin Mary is also sometimes associated with calming storms, with stories and prayers invoking her intercession to bring peace during turbulent times; essentially, she is seen as a powerful intercessor who can bring calm amidst chaos, drawing on her maternal role as a protector and comforter."
