The Primordial Record novel Chapter 769

Chapter 769 The Hidden Hand

Every so often, it was the confluence of different random events that could lead to unexpected revelations. When Rowan had seen the vision of the death of the Chained God, it had no meaning to him and he left it behind for Andar as part of his inheritance.

Andar took a step back in shock, analyzing the memories again, with the words of the Watcher and he gasped,

'No, that cannot be correct, in the memories of Rowan, Silas Black did not find the Chained God outside the universe, but he fought and killed him while inside it.'

Andar could perfectly recollect the stars, and the blood of the Chained God flooding an entire galaxy, and also his haunting words that seemed to speak directly with him.

"Cleave my bones… Eat my heart… My Will shall ever remain. The stain that shall stay."

These words now took a new meaning for Andar, because there was something personal about this message, it was as if the Chained God knew Silas Black long before this battle.

If that was the case, how was it possible that the Tower Master was already inside the universe when it was claimed that no Mages could enter the universe without a Nemesis Stone?

Could the Watcher be lying to him about this process? Andar did not think so, there was truly no reason for her to lie about this information when she could easily withhold it from him.

Then there must be another reason that was terrifying to consider, but Andar could not deny the conclusion that he made; which was that the Tower Master, Silas Black lied to everyone about how he acquired the Nemesis Stone.

Andar considered the option of finding his way to the Inheritance Cloud and reaching the hand of the Chained God to reconfirm his suspicions while the entire Black Tower was placed inside a Time bubble, but he quickly realized that it would be foolish to tamper with the plans of a Tower master.

He was also vaguely aware that Rowan could devour souls, and this was the only reason he could find out this truth, even if he could reach the Chained God, there was no way to communicate with him, the Tower Master had made sure of that, only Rowan could do so.

Still, it was impossible to deny the fact that was before him,

Silas Black was not truly a Mage!

His curiosity began to burn bright, pushing aside his fears, there were matters he could control and understand, and this one was beyond him, but it did not mean that he could not investigate it.

Looking back at the memories once more, he noticed that the appearance of the Tower Master was different.

The man that he saw here today appeared as a person who was all in black, and his Aura was filled with darkness but in those memories, Silas's hair was black and white and his features were more handsome.

'Wait, there is something wrong with this picture… his hair and face remind me of someone… his features appear complete, yet incomplete at the same time.'

Due to the fact that Andar was in a constant state of Gray Will, his many splintered mind took the image of Silas Black in Rowan's memory and disassembled it, a sort of mania overtaking his actions until when he was done he nearly collapsed.

This weird physiological reaction did not attract his attention because he was focused on what he was seeing inside his head.

When Andar unlocked further levels in his Endless Vault, he had to utilize all the experience he had from mastering seven Magus Disciplines.

Every level was like an intricate puzzle, requiring all his knowledge of Scripts, Alchemy, Talisman, Puppet Creation, Spiritual Plant, and Weapon Refinement to push further in the Endless Vault. It was no wonder it was difficult for the average Mage to reach higher levels of this Art when it was difficult for them to master a single discipline.

Andar was finding something similar like this when he saw the image of Silas Black in his memory, he transformed into a puzzle that he needed to solve. A puzzle that was almost as difficult as the highest levels of the Endless Vault that he had come across.

Perhaps only Andar was unique enough to perform this action as a Mage due to his experience with the Endless Vault Meditation Art. In addition to the fact that the memory he was using came directly from the Soul of the Chained God, his insight was able to reveal the hidden layers of Silas Black
