The Primordial Record novel Chapter 1060

Chapter 1060: Faith

Rowan was overflowing with Soul Energy after all the time he had spent within and outside the universe, with him.being around the death of so many lifeforms. Even in death, his consciousness still held power and he would not be surprised that for the near million years, he had been harvesting souls.

For a long time he had not been using these souls, he simply prepared himself as he waited for the right moment. Although Rowan claimed that he wanted to perfect his foundation to a ridiculous level before pushing forward with the resource available to him, and while there was great truth in these thought, there was a rather hidden justification for why he had been gathering soul energy all this while without utilizing them, it was all in preparation for something terrible, but he could not find the source of this fear.

The addition of a large part of his consciousness did not reduce this fear, instead it increased it. It was not even the knowledge that the eyes of the Primordial of Time had left his control, it was something even deeper.

He knew that even when his consciousness was previously completed, he was missing memories, and there was an additional name that always plagued him-Nemesis.

The idea of this mysterious power seemed to have been born out of nothing, but Rowan believed that all his setbacks, all his pains, even the two deaths he had rapidly suffered in this world in the hands of the World Will were all due to Nemesis, and it was as if even if his mind and spirit had been scrubbed of every detail about this unknown power in the past, he would still remember its name because it had become branded into his consciousness.

This enemy seemed powerful beyond reason, formless and untouchable but one thing Rowan knew about himself was that he would never lay down and take abuse from the strong, his past was enough proof. Even under the tyranny of the Third Prince, he had found a way to sequester his bloodline across time to aid him in the right moment.

Plans within plans were made at every step of the way to make that event possible, and Rowan would never count himself out of this fight or any fight in the future, no matter who he would be challenging. He might not yet understand certain mysteries in the past, especially those related to his lost memories but Rowan firmly believed in himself and whatever decision he had made in the past.

He knew the importance of sacrifice, of laying your hand bleeding into the water to draw in sharks, of suffering countless abuse for the right moment when your abuser looked down upon you to gloat, and in that moment reveal their throat.

Yes, if there was one thing Rowan understood about himself, it was sacrifice.

With how special his consciousness was, Rowan knew that it was nearly impossible to wipe his memories without his permission. The fact that portions of his memories were missing meant that he made himself forget. He would never doubt his plans, only move forward according to his instincts.

With the previous computational powers of his consciousness, Rowan was sure that he would be able to predict his future actions with a near-perfect level of accuracy, and whatever might be happening to him at this moment or any decisions he had would be making in the future, he would have made arrangements and left safeguards in place.
