The Primordial Record novel Chapter 1746

Chapter 1746: The Great Silence

Kaelen and Lyra, these two innovators, were the catalyst that sparked the merger between “magic” and “science.” A new discipline was born from these: Etheronics.

Rowan could not say he liked the name, but he chose to cut the Elythrii some slack; their society was still cut off from Reality, and their culture would see the birth of real diversity when they began to touch other realms outside this one.

‘But why Etheronics, out of all the names they could have picked?’ Rowan grumbled internally.

Elython, Elythrii, Etheronics… Rowan saw that all of these names were derived from Ether and did not know if he should laugh or cry.

Another five thousand years passed after the birth of Etheronics, and Elython had transformed.

Etheronic technology was everywhere. Cities float on anti-gravity plates. Gates allow instantaneous travel throughout the continent and even to the other four continents, leading a wave of development as new and powerful resources were discovered.

Medicine had advanced to the point where aging was a curable disease, and most injuries were instantly reparable by medical glyphs. The Elythrii had become a civilization that had totally conquered their continent, even reaching far into space and touching the stars, their society a post-scarcity utopia. Their lifespans were now measured in centuries.

It was not long before they began to find out new mysteries about the ocean of light above, and the fact that sometimes that ocean… moved.

The Elythrii were now long-lived, healthy, and brilliant. The Fragment of Potential burns brightly, but it creates a new restlessness. With material needs met, their drive turns inward and outward—inward to the nature of their own consciousness and outward to the stars.

This drove them to be ever curious, but they knew if they wanted to conquer the mysteries of the heavens, they needed to first conquer the earth. All five continents must be under their control.

And so sparked a wave of exploration to the other continents, and slowly but surely, progress was being made.

This hunger for growth drove them to begin taking the next steps in their evolution

They began using Etheronics to rewrite their own genetic code, not for vanity, but for optimization. They enhance cognitive processing, memory, and emotional resilience.

They developed the Bio-Aetheric Interface, which allows them to interact directly with technology and the Ether field through thought.

The first true telepathy and telekinesis emerge, not as magic, but as a trained skill of the mind.

Then came great innovation in the creation of ships that could fly towards the heavens and travel above the other continents to gather proper information.

Their ships, woven with glyphs of spatial compression, can cross the void between the continents in hours. The colonization of the remaining four continents began in earnest.

They built great crystalline cities on massive deserts and floating habitats in the massive swamps and oceans.

When they tried to reach farther into the heavens, they began to encounter simple alien life in the void between the stars, which they studied with reverence.

The Life-Warden of the Archai observes their gentle stewardship with approval, making sure that Rowan saw the reverence by which the Elythrii treated lives outside their own.
