The Primordial Record novel Chapter 1055

Chapter 1055: Deeper Layers

Rowan had been in Stone Reach for eight days, and in all that time the Ascendant Sun stayed constant in the sky, but he could feel the changes in the wind, he knew that the darkness was not far away, Calamity was coming.

His days had not been idly spent, learning about this world while exploring the abilities he had unlocked with his consciousness was a priority. Although his newly gained Consciousness was still dormant, Rowan was not willing to wake this part of himself up before he had finalized his plans to attack this realm head on, he could still mine the impressive memory banks of his consciousness, closing out many gaps in his memories, sadly not all of them, but enough important memories that guided the next part of his plans, refining it to a higher standard.

It may not seem like it, but from the moment he had stepped out of the universe of his birth, a million years had nearly passed, and for him, it was almost like a month had gone by. Reality was not how he had once made it to be, and he had been handed a mountain pile of mysteries to resolve with his only tool being a small shovel, he had no choice but to dig, no matter how long that would take him.

Peering at the written words by the so-called Divine Ascendant, Rowan stroked his chin in thought, it was as he had expected, although his plans to use the World's Will as a vehicle to regain and overthrow its dominion was plausible, there were certain risks and vulnerabilities that could be exploited against him via his actions, he was not entirely safe. Perring deep into the abyss, meant the abyss also peered into you.

Rowan could not escape the consequences of tying his consciousness with a mortal flesh born from this world, but unlike the World's Will who saw him as part of its overall design and therefore was not on a lookout against him, Rowan had plans for this realm... big ones, his right days of observation had revealed that this realm was far more complex than he thought.

As he had once speculated, the two opposing forces at the surface were just what mortals could observe, beyond that level was something stranger that saturated every fundamental rule of this reality, even the Aura they wielded contained a shocking revelation that had stunned him at first when he understood the entire ramifications and what it might mean for him to control it.

He looked up at the woman frozen beside him, her eyes were wide open, filled with complex emotions, and her mouth opened and closed like a fish out of water. He had collected her soul, so he knew her better than she understood herself, and yet, it was a truly odd thing to see a mortal whose soul he had consumed standing before him.
