GOT IT

He was not idle, even as his body continuously grew and adapted to the Ascendant Aura flooding into it, his mind began to read every available piece of literature on Stone Reach, although there were not as many as he would like, there was still an astonishing number of texts that had been preserved for millions of years, and he suspected that he must go to much higher continents to find anything better.

A rather interesting fact that Rowan had discovered was that although he could gain all the memories from the souls of the dead, most of the knowledge accumulated during a mortal’s life was useless to him, repetitive and inane, most mortal lives were simply brief flashes of happiness and a lot of pain and horror.

They never focused on learning about the past or gathering knowledge that would not immediately affect their situation at the moment, and it did not help that they were in a state of perpetual warfare, and scholarship pursuits were not seen as important. If not for immortal Ascendants that preserved the culture and knowledge of the past, the mortals would have long descended into barbarity, and there would be no difference between them and mad beasts.

There were secrets hidden in books that had not seen the eyes of readers for millions of years, kept in long-forgotten vaults. Ancient parchments, squiggles etched on stones and metals, voice recordings and so many other mediums used in storing information… Rowan’s gaze, bolstered by his growing Ascendancy Aura found them all and he began to discover the hidden histories and the forgotten myths, answering some of his burning questions about this realm.

Ascendants and Calamities had an old history, but from what he could find, the first Calamity was born seventeen million years ago and before then there was no record of what existed before.

No matter how much he searched, and he was sure he had grasped almost all the knowledge to be gotten from Stone Reach, It seemed history began seventeen million years ago, but that could not be the truth, he knew Doom Star existed during the Primordial Era, and was older than any power in the universe except for Primordial Domain and other equally strange locations in Reality.

With no record of what happened before that time period to be found inside Doom Star, Rowan knew that this situation was most likely caused by the World’s Will, as it created and erased different Eras to pursue its unknown agenda.

The Era of Explorers and Calamity was coming to an end, as Rowan had confirmed that throughout history, the balance between the energy of Ascendancy and Calamity had never wavered, but around eight hundred thousand years ago, things began to change.

It should not be a coincidence that this end of an Era was happening right about the time he entered this realm. Although seventeen million years was a long time, it was hardly enough for the balance of power to have shifted so drastically. Logically, the battle between the Ascendants and Calamities should run for at least a billion years.

At that time the structure of power would have reached a terrifying level, and when the world-ending cataclysm began, the impact on the realm would be drastically more noticeable, and whatever fruits that were to be born from that ending would push the strength of the World’s Will to a higher level, but that balance had been broken.

Was it possible that Old Man Seed knew the effect of placing Rowan into Doom Star and as Rowan was thinking of using the powers of this higher being to aid his pursuit of power, the old man was also doing something more diabolical?

Perhaps this might be the truth. His understanding of higher dimensional capabilities was still low, and Old Man Seed was a special existence even among their number, did he not say he was a teardrop from a Primordial?

Rowan placed this consideration aside for the moment, he would learn the truth in time, his focus was on what could have caused this changes in the expected flow of event. The first option was obviously the Eye.

The Eye of the Primordial of Time must have seen a better target than inhabiting Rowan’s body and its influence must have begun to spread.

There were fearful whispers and panicked memories in the souls of Explorers he had devoured of a new danger zone that had arisen where time itself seemed to be nonexistent. This was something that Rowan was sure that the Eye was capable of, and that was the least of its powers, Rowan had not forgotten the price he had paid to seal the Eye and what that could mean for him if his safety measures had been broken.

It would mean old enemies were back in the board.

Knowledge on the Eye was a priority but the true extent of its influence was yet unknown due to the limited information in the souls of the mortals he had devoured, but he expected that to change when he began to kill Ascendants in six months’ time.

With his present battle prowess, Rowan could kill Ascendants, but it would be a struggle and there were chances that he might not be able to stop them if they wanted to escape. At this point in time, Rowan did not want to take unnecessary risks and would rather recover another part of his consciousness, reach the Deific Rank, and cleanly kill Ascendants to harvest their memories.
