The Primordial Record novel Chapter 1917

Chapter 1917: Transferring Authority (Final)

Rowan had speculated that the Primordial Record was far greater than any Singularity, and its importance could be beyond what he might ever comprehend at a lower-dimensional level. This Singularity could hold the key to Eternity, and when Rowan forged the Road of Eternity, it was all leading to his ultimate vision of total mastery of the powers to control eternity.

Maybe he might not be the best steward to control all of existence, but the ones in charge were the worst, and anything or anyone else would be better than them. In an existence of infinite possibilities, it took a special kind of incompetence or true evil to pollute and corrupt its entire nature.

Rowan believed that the wholesale destruction of Realities and every powerful higher-dimensional being was not just random events by a group of powerful monsters that were cursed by madness and endless hunger, and everything was designed to gather all the power in existence into one place.

Why would anyone want to claim dominion over all of existence? It was rather simple, and that was because it gave them the power to do anything they wanted, to become the one who stood above everything.

If this were the truth, then the actions of the Primordials and most likely Enoch were going at it in the laziest way possible, but it could also be seen as the most efficient method.

They were not trying to bring existence under their banner or convince the powerful to shift their loyalties towards them, just like Rowan was doing with this Reality and all the new Primordials. Instead, they decided to kill everything and hoard all the benefits gained from their slaughter, and when it was over, all of this power would be theirs.

Rowan had seen a vision of the past where the Primordials, before their descent into madness, were about to kill the Primordial Beast Torch dragon, and it warned them that they would be betrayed. He had not understood what that meant, but he thought that the Betrayer was Enoch, who might not have informed them that eating so many Realities would lead to madness, or perhaps the Primordial Record was part of that betrayal.

Two parties were fighting for the right to control the power stored inside the Primordial Record, and there was Rowan at the center who held the Singulariry, and for the life of him, he could not tell the reason he was allowed the opportunity to control this power in the first place.

Was it possible that his bond with the Primordial Record was deeper than he thought, and so the Primordials and even Enoch could not just seize it but must use him as an intermediary?

Rowan had many reasons to believe that this must be the truth, because the same incident had happened repeatedly over the years. The Primordials and Enoch trying hard to suppress the things he knew and the truths available to him, they had gone to incredibly great length to ensure that Rowan would never find the truth about his origins or what he was capable of, and this had led to such great losses to him over the years, with the latest disaster, finally making Rowan pull out all the stops.

The answer he needed was inside the Primordial Record, and he would not be able to fully control this Singularity or gain its powers if he was still at the eighth-dimensional level. He needed to be a Primordial to find the truth.

Yet the path to the Primordial level for him was not easy. His main body Eos was incredibly powerful, and Rowan would bet that since the beginning of existence, there had not been any Old One at the eight-dimensional level who was stronger than him. His essence alone in the eighth dimension was housing multiple Primordials, and he was not fully grown.

If this continued in this manner, at the peak of his potential at the eighth-dimensional level, Rowan speculated that he would be able to hold a thousand primordial-level entities inside his realm. This was already a ridiculous number, and it was just a conservative estimate that would not overly strain his essence and energy-regenerative capabilities.

However, Rowan now saw that this power was a trap. The Primordials and most likely Enoch had a way to monitor the Primordial Record that he had not fully understood. They had subtly encouraged him to pursue this power. Rowan had enough evidence from the actions of Nyxara, Primordial Soul, ensuring that Rowan suffered incredibly painful losses, from his mother to his children, leaving him with no option but to always push for greater amounts of power.
