The Primordial Record novel Chapter 106

Chapter 106 Deep Sea Blues (final)

The general pointed at the black gate and said, "My suspicion arose when I first saw this gate. It was something that cannot be created by us, for it is made of Mithril—God's poison."

"Every god on the planet laid down a rule that was penned with their golden blood. It states that this metal was barred from this world. If such a large piece of it was brought down here only to be used as a gate, you could imagine my astonishment. This place has been where my efforts have been mostly concentrated these past few days."

"I attempted to open the gates, and of course, I failed. I could barely even touch it, for the weakness of the gods still affects their descendants. Mithril would actively suppress every bloodline power that came close to it."

"So where do I come in?" Rowan said, "My source of power still comes from a bloodline, just like you all." Rowan tried not to smirk; his Serpents had just undergone a food orgasm by eating a door made from Mithril, and he had to keep a tight leash on the two Serpents here with him, or this door would be gone in the blink of an eye.

"Yes, but there is an important distinction: your bloodline, you see, is not of the gods. Until now, I still do not know how you received such a bloodline. According to the information we were given by the Order, your father was chosen first as a candidate to acquire a bloodline source; after him, it would be my turn, but you did not acquire the bloodline source of your ancestor, and that is what is different about you. You did not awaken the bloodline of Kuranes—the Scion of Light."

"Slow down, Augustus. What do you mean by bloodline source?" Rowan inquired; his eyes lit up, and he knew he was about to acquire a valuable source of information about the Primordial Record.

"Well, that was the entire pitch of the Order of the Broken Eye." The general leaned back as he began tapping the side of his waist. "It is the reason you were selected, Rowan. According to the Order, the purpose of the singularity is to perfectly replicate the bloodline source of its host."

Rowan shifted from his position and asked, "Then why is something like that important to you?"

"Important, I think, is even placing this subject lightly; it is everything to a dominator." Allow me to clarify something for you. Although no Dominator has ever become a god, there is a clear path to godhood laid down before us."

"There are four great circles for a dominator to ascend through to become a god. From mortal to incarnation state, they are all within the first great circle, which is the four states of change within the great circle: first as a mortal, second as a legendary, third as a rift, and fourth as an incarnation."

"After breaking through the first great circle into the second great circle, where you have only three states of change, on the third great circle there are only two states of change, and on the fourth great circle, there is only one."

"After the fourth Great Circle, you can become a God; you would be endless and ever powerful, and the worship from your creation shall sustain your spark until the end of time.?But you see, there can only ever be a single god under one path."

"It is possible for you to become a dominator of the Fourth Great Circle, but it is impossible for you to transcend that state."

The general stopped and seemed to organize his thoughts for a while, then he pointed at Rowan and said, "The singularity inside of you would break that balance; it would give you a bloodline source of the god untainted by their touch."

"You said there can only ever be a single god on a path; even if you become a dominator using the untainted blood source, how can that path sustain another god?"
