Chapter 1745: The Worldviews That Define Ages

Fifty thousand years went by, a blink of an eye for Rowan, but for mortals, this was a very long time. Many generations of the Elythrii had gone by, and Rowan was watching the fascinating process by which many of his children, who were strong of will, were beginning to find themselves after they had died and returned multiple times.

Transformation was difficult, and for his children to become Origin Lifeforms, they would have to sacrifice something of themselves to reach this level, and there were remarkably few individuals who could keep their previous lives through the cycle of death and rebirth.

Rowan had expected that only when these new Origin Lifeforms attained true immortality at a higher-dimensional realm would they be able to reconcile all the memories of their past, and this would be what was needed for them to finally seize their fate and attain their destiny, and if they were lucky and tenacious, touch the ninth-dimensional realm.

Still, it showed that with the seeds of potential inside of them, even Rowan could be wrong, because some of the Elythrii were already beginning to recall their past, although in a much more limited manner.

Rowan thought he could recognize multiple Elythrii that were building closer connections to their past, but he did not interfere or try to discern who they were; he allowed everything to proceed as it should. 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

After fifty thousand years, the Elythrii civilization has advanced. Tribes have become city-states, then nations. They have mastered agriculture, metallurgy, and early machinery. The instinctual magic of the past is now a formalized practice, though still more art than science.

They had fully conquered a single continent, and probes were being sent to the other four continents, but it would take a long time for their society to gather the strength to conquer the entire five continents.

A million years ago, the Archai had chosen to weaken the creatures on the continent from which the Elythrii arose due to time constraints. If they did not do this, then the developmental period of the Elythrii would not be measured in tens of thousands of years, but in hundreds of millions.

Some of the beasts on the other continents had the power to wipe out entire nations in a single breath, and so to ensure a relatively stable societal growth period, beasts on the chosen continents were restricted to having powers that could be measured at the fifth-dimensional level.

However, this showed the profound depths of the Origin Land because these beasts with the power of fifth-dimensional immortals were not even higher-dimensional creatures, and the Elythrii that fought and conquered them were still mortals who hardly lived beyond a few centuries.

Rowan could not say anything about other Realities and the power of their mortal beings, but in Eosah’s Reality, even at the height of her power, when she opened her Essence to her children, they could never reach this level.

Rowan had intentionally made the Elythriin out of clay and did not give them any advantage, but that of potential and growth, and they had not failed his expectations.

After fifty thousand years, the Elythrii are now a race of philosophers, engineers, and mages. The Fragment of Potential drives them not just to survive, but to question. The great mystery of their existence is the dichotomy between the logical, predictable world of cause and effect and the seemingly illogical, will-driven world of magic.

Why did nature follow specific rules, yet with the force of will, they could bend these rules to their advantage?

Many such similar queries fueled the fires of advancement and innovation, creating sparks of wisdom and growth that were truly fascinating to witness.

Yet, Rowan knew that this would inevitably lead to conflicts as these two paths were not necessarily mutually exclusive, and he was right.

It was not long before two great thought processes began to divide the Elythrii, which led to the first great split in their society.
