The Primordial Record novel Chapter 949

Chapter 949 Passage Of Time

With those alarming words Old Man Seed focused on consuming the bottles of wine, muttering about their taste, and something about how he was enjoying the alcoholic beverage made Rowan to accompany him.

Bringing a bottle to his lips, Rowan felt a chill down his spine and he stopped, the old man was looking at him with a strange glare, Rowan paused and after considering for a while he threw the entire bottle in his mouth and like Old Man Seed, he began to chew, the resulting smile from his grandfather indicated that he had made the right choice.

Rowan shrugged and joined him in 'eating' the wine. If he wanted he could chew stars, so eating bottles made from wood and glass was nothing. For a while, there was silence as in a few moments both of them consumed hundreds of bottles.

With Old Man Seed satisfied he spread his hands wide and gestured to the tunnel they were traveling through, "I told you I was bringing you back through time, and that is correct, but also not. It's a tricky thing dumbing down the abilities of higher dimensions to you while still retaining enough truths about their workings. You see, even though I am not strong enough to push through time while delivering our weight across that eldritch expanse, what I can do is access a Passage of Time, which is where we are situated."

"A passage…" Rowan muttered to himself, his mind in a frenzy as a hint of why his blood that was linked to Time was almost going crazy occurred to him, 'This passage, is it not like a vein in the body of the Primordial of Time? I don't know the form a living Primordial may take, but what about a dead one?'

Rowan could not say such a thing aloud, but he could inquire about the nature of this passage, and so he did not hesitate to ask, "Old Man Seed, what is this Passage of Time, and how is it able to effortlessly bring you back to the past?"

"Effortlessly? Bah… more like clawing your way through an exploding universe with your nose hairs because your hands have been tied behind your back! No, there is nothing easy about fighting your way through a Passage of Time, and I don't know its Origins, only a Prime would know it, but it is a passage available for you to access once you have the power of a seventh dimensional domain under your belt."

Rowan's breath caught in his throat and he tried to maintain a fairly normal appearance, but he could see by the shameless grin on the face of the old man that he was not as successful as he would like. A seventh-dimensional entity was just two level below the ninth dimension, the realm of Primordials! He was standing beside one of the most powerful entities in all of creation. The closest power he had associated with was the dead remnant of the Mountain and Sea Realm, and that minor realm was the one responsible for Rowan being able to create a World Core due to the information he harvested from it.

With a more smug tone Old Man Seed laughed, "Now that you have an inkling about how awesome I am, it is time to tell you more about this passage, staying inside this place is draining, and I am in no mood for training."

He paused and swallowed and Rowan did not have to be told, he retrieved more bottles of wine and gave it to the endless pit and the old man continued speaking, "You should know that this opportunity I am about to give you is priceless, important details need to be repeated. I am doing this because I think out of every mortal and even Immortal I have laid my eyes on, you are the one that is most deserving of such an opportunity, but as you should understand by now, there are always risks associated with great leaps like this, and I do not need to ask your permission, because no matter the risk ahead, you will be a fool to reject it, and no grandson of mine is a fool."
