The first time Rowan had summoned his consciousness, the attempt had been rushed and crude, and it was inevitable that it had drawn the attention of the World Will, and if not for the fact that his consciousness could be regarded as dead, the consequences it had faced would be more severe than just tribulation lightning.
What Rowan did not know was that during his more than eight hundred thousand years of death, now and then his consciousness would gather together, creating massive golden suns that would be shattered to pieces by the World's Will.
After countless years of being repeatedly shattered by tribulation lightning, Rowan's dead consciousness was now almost immune to its damage, and the act of the World's Will was changed to one of suppression, this aided Rowan in his assimilation of the first part of his consciousness because after it was shattered by the World's Will, it could easily respond to Rowan's call.
Of course, Rowan did not consider the Will of this realm to be weak, only that it appropriated different levels of strength to different tasks. If Berrion the Undying attacked his broken consciousness once more with the aim to destroy them, then it might take billions of years or more for it to take shape again.
The World Will obviously considered Rowan's dead consciousness less of a threat and assigned meager Tribulation Lightning to suppress it, but this would begin to change if, in rapid succession, another instance of Rowan's consciousness rising was detected. The World Will would surely sense something was wrong and increase its vigilance.
For this reason, Rowan would not be summoning the second portion of his consciousness in the same manner that he did the first.
It was not like he did not know a better way to summon his consciousness in a better manner the first time that he attempted to do so, but he was simply too weak at that time to perform this summoning with any degree of finesse, with his greater strength at this time, he would do a better job.
His consciousness had been shattered into an infinite number of pieces and when he gave out the call for it, the consciousness pieces were combined into a whole so he could have an easier time assimilating them all to his Natal Treasure at once, was a risky move, but he had succeeded. But now that he had enough Mental power to hold out for longer and no longer had to digest his entire consciousness at once, instead, he would be summoning the fragments of his consciousness slowly.
Rowan touched his forehead with the tip of his right index finger and his flesh wriggled before parting to reveal an oval-shaped hole through which you could see his blue skull. He repeated the same gesture and touched the skull and it parted to reveal his gem-like brain, and he did not stop his actions, pushing his finger into his head until he touched his brain.
An oval-shaped hole appeared on his brain, and within was what appeared to be nothing at first, but slowly indistinct shapes could be seen, wandering giants of gold with ragged feathers trailing down their back like cloaks, when the oval hole was revealed the giants all stopped moving and looked upwards, their gaze reaching the outside world, and their mouths were opened in a cry that could have shaken all of creation,
