When Rowan separated these six consciousnesses from his body, he could no longer share his experience with it, as he had already sacrificed them to whatever might come, but his consciousnesses could easily link up with his main body again, and share their experience.
Besides, it was not truly a loss for him, his consciousnesses might be destroyed, but his consciousness pillars remained. It would not take too long for another consciousness to be born from the pillar.
Although what he heard was very important and should have been enough for him to link up to his main body to reveal the truth behind the Rune and the resurrection of the Primordial of Evil, he did not do so.
Rowan could not tell if the God King might be able to trace any communication between him and his main body, and so he had no reason to risk such a move.
It was a good thing that Rowan had anticipated something like this happening and so the first time he entered Elysium, he had dropped a piece of his consciousness inside it.
This consciousness was so weak, that even the consciousness of an ant would shine brighter, and although it could not do many things, it could listen and transmit.
Rowan's consciousnesses did not need to connect to his main body, because, in a manner, his main body was already here and watching everything happen.
He had sacrificed six consciousnesses to draw out the God King, so he could have the opportunity to spy on him and reverse the table.
While he was inside the vault, the God King had been able to spy on him, and now it was Rowan's turn.
The Mantis stalks the Cicada, unaware of the Oriole behind.

Rowan's silence was enough for the God King to rant, his fervor and madness could no longer be hidden.
"This will not be anything you can stop Romion or even comprehend… Oh, Romion, if only you could see the true reach of our vision. The slaves and their children would match to the continents of battle, and they shall all perish. Their death would herald the change that would sweep through all creation. If I can do this to my loyal slaves, what more you, a disobedient child? So I ask you Romion, will you bow?"
Rowan no longer mocked the God King, at this point, there was no reason to do so. What he had just learned had surpassed whatever plans he had for Golgoth.
He was learning many new things, and confirming all his wildest fears. At the beginning of his struggle, Rowan had always felt his greatest enemy would be his father; it became worse when he understood that there was not just one of this monster, but four, and he did not doubt that just like Golgoth, all four were insane.
Before he had time to wrap his head around the idea of killing four insane Reflections of a freaking Primordial, he was set upon with the knowledge that the Primordial was about to be resurrected.
He had always wondered what was the motivation behind the actions of the Reflections, and resurrecting the dead Primordial was one of the worst outcomes he had predicted.
