Chapter 1661: Festering Madness

Calling his serpents into the fourth layer of the void was not a simple affair. Though they still shared some similar traits with his dimensional flesh, they were now Origin Beasts, and Rowan could not just suppress them into lower-dimensional states. Well, he could, but it would not be easy, especially when he was inside Oblivion itself.

With his serpents all returned to his Origin Land, his connection with them was virtually cut off. If he wanted to bring them here, he would have to find a different method of not just contacting them, but slipping them through four layers of the void without alerting any outside party.

The first challenge Rowan would have to pass was contacting the serpents, which turned out not to be much of a challenge at all, especially when it came to someone with his consciousness power.

Just because he could not contact his serpents did not mean they were not connected. He was like a blind man who could not see his limbs, but if needed, he could move them.

Granted, in his case, his limbs could be said to be in another universe, and he would have to bring them to him while crossing them through countless dangers and pitfalls along the way, and he would be doing all of that while blind.

Rowan could not even sense his serpents, but he knew that if he willed them to move from the Origin Land, they would. This was a connection not even Oblivion would be able to break.

The first challenge had an answer, the second was far more trickier.

He could move his serpents, but how could he allow them to enter the realm of Oblivion?

Rowan could not allow them to blast through the deeper layer of the void; doing so would announce to all that he was able to assimilate with space and was going after its origin. Yet he could not leave this place until he consumed these bones.

Oblivion was different from the first three layers; it was vast and held closely to its secrets. Just because he was able to find the Maw of Oblivion the first time he entered into this space, it did not mean he would be able to see it again if he left.

Granted, with the power of Serathis, it might be possible for him to reach this place, but that would mean exposing a different higher-dimensional power into this space, and that would undoubtedly draw attention to his presence.

Rowan brainstormed furiously on this dilemma. His usual method of folding space, time, or even dimensions would not work; Oblivion would resist all of these methods. If it could hold a Primordial bound inside of it, then Rowan was joking to himself if he believed that he would be able to break this barrier.

After a while, he knew that he was going nowhere with this and decided to focus on entirely comprehending the realm of Oblivion. Rowan chose not to move from this spot and finish his comprehension.

This should delay the time needed to finish his comprehension, but not by much; he figured that it should add a year or two to the total time required, which was all he had to sacrifice.

He gave himself five years to finish comprehending Oblivion, and if he did not succeed in that period, he would leave this place and plunge deeper to rapidly finish his comprehension.

If there were ever to be a solution to his problem, then he would only gain it if he finished comprehending Oblivion.

A thought occurred to him, and he sighed, not expecting much from it, he called out to the space around him.

"I am a successor to the Ouroboros Serpent. My body remains outside, and I want to bring it into Oblivion. Can you help me with this?"

There was a silence for a long while, and Rowan was about to close his eyes to enter comprehension, when her voice entered his mind again,

"You already know the answer to your question. You are refusing to see it."

"Surely you do not mean..." Rowan closed his eyes and ignored the voice, but the thoughts in his head kept returning to the answer that he was supposed to know. Surely it would not get to that level, at least not yet.

Deep in the Origin Land, where no light could touch and none of Rowan’s children could reach even if they were given an infinite amount of time to find it, six gigantic serpents the size of universes slumbered.
