Chapter 1573: The Blood And The Flame
Moments before summoning Fate’s Origin.
Rowan’s consciousness inside Revah Endirius was barely a fraction of the consciousness power he controlled; it could not be helped.
The shell of Rowan consumed by this Magus might be powerful enough to break her bloodline shackles and bring her to the level of an Old One, granting her talents beyond her wildest dreams, but this shell was made when he was still a mortal and less evolved.
If the present state of Rowan’s consciousness was likened to Adamantite, then the consciousness inside the stone shell was less than a soft breeze in comparison, but it still came from him, and that made it incomparably precious.
Rowan could not do much with this weak consciousness power except observe and manipulate Revah’s soul when the time called for it, but what was important to him was that he could use this consciousness as a doorway to his primary consciousness.
Like a puppeteer controlling a puppet from afar, Rowan manipulated every event on the Supreme World of Magus from afar.

Rowan’s dimensional flesh and soul were at Booze Palace, the proposed center of Reality, and they watched the events unfold in the World of Mages according to their design.
Not too long ago, he had learned that Endirius was a Primordial Beast, and he was drastically changing his plans to fit this new situation.
Watching closely at everything that was happening, Rowan was waiting for the chance to strike.
As far as he could determine, Endirius had gathered the five parts of the First Flame close to him. One part was inside Jovah Endirius, a seventh star Archmage, and the last four were inside the Oracle. He repeatedly checked that these were all of the First Flames with his Will of Truth until he was satisfied that everything was following his Will.
His patience and careful planning were rewarded as the moment he had been waiting for arrived. Rowan did not even have to manipulate Revah to make this happen when he already laid all the groundwork. The surrounding mages sent an order for the arrest of Andar, and the ones who would dispense their Wills were the Flame Guards.
Only a situation like this that was warrant the might of the most extraordinary powers of the Realm would cause the Flame Guards to be dispatched.
As it happens, Jovah Endirius, the holder of a piece of the First Flame, was among their number. Rowan was sure that this poor girl was just bait created by the Primordial Beast to lure his prey closer to the net, but he did not care. If the Primordial Beast were safe in his invincibility, Rowan would not disabuse it of that notion.
This was a hit-and-run operation, meaning he could take certain risks without caring much about the repercussions.
He half expected that Endirius might hold back Revah from approaching Andar due to the changes in Reality, but as the Primordial Beast was stuck deciphering the means that Rowan had used to pour Primordial Essence into Reality, he had let this order go uncontested. This was also under Rowan’s consideration; he could not allow any part of this plan to fail and ensured that everything had a redundant point to buffer his schemes.
