The Primordial Record

1204 Completing The Rune Fractals

His relationship with this bloodline was one of the strangest. Born before his transmigration and belonging to the first form of Rowan Kuranes, it had been the final key that pulled down the Primordial Record at the moment of his birth, and after his birth, it was this bloodline that crossed time to resurrect him, and he wondered if it had done the same thing again,

“My Hope,” he repeated once more and his soul touched the rough bark of the tree before he sent it into the rune fractal. This fourth rune fractal lit up and the box began to transform, its size not changing instead it was its form.

What came out of this transformation was a sphere, and with the lights blazing from it, that rivaled a burning star, it sent out a constant pulse of power that sent shock waves throughout the mental space.

“Now, this is where it gets strange,” Rowan muttered to himself, and he reached into his soul and scooped out a portion of his bloodline of Time and brought it out.

Outside of his Soul, his bloodline of Time took its original form and it blazed scarlet as if Rowan had cut out a piece of a red sun, this color deepened, growing richer as the bloodline released a blast of power that took various exoteric shapes that were associated with time, most prominent of them was a massive hourglass.

“Nothing beats Time!”

This shape drew his attention because it was not amongst those that he had usually seen inside his soul, which was mostly cogs and gears like the internals of a clock, and he wondered whether it was because he had seen the Bloodline Source of Time having this same feature that made him mimic it when the true nature of his time powers was this hourglass.

His musing was interrupted when he added his bloodline of time to the fifth rune fractal and lighting up, the sphere began to rotate. The pulse it was emitting began to acquire a note of sharpness that sliced into the grounds of the mental space which was made up of massive blue crystals that were millions of times harder than diamonds.

This pulse shredded the earth, throwing blue particulates into the air for hundreds of miles and Rowan had to begin diverting souo energy to heal and bolster his mental space before it was damaged beyond repair.

He paused for a moment, his mental state in chaos as he tried not to wonder how the Rowan of the past had known he would be acquiring the bloodline of time, and hence a soul because he had already noted that the sixth rune fractal needed him to place the essence of his soul into it.

Rowan tried not to think about it for too long as he sliced off a portion of his soul, and it the shape of a burning river of white flame. Separate from his bloodline of time and Ascendant body, his soul had returned to its whitish appearance, and it blazed like a star. Rowan had just dismissively sliced off enough soul essence that could power the entire soul capacity of a universe throughout its life cycle and this was just one percent of his entire soul essence.

“How I have grown…”

Saying this he pushed his soul essence into the sixth rune fractal and braced himself, expecting another dramatic transformation. He was not disappointed.

The sphere had been rotating at a constant speed, but when he added his soul essence, the speed increased to a feverish pitch and a droning sound like a Harmonium arose from the rotating sphere that kept increasing in intensity until the sound took form, and it sliced into reality like clean long slices in its wake that Rowan rapidly healed with his soul energy.

From a distance, Rowan thought the shape that the sound waves took resembled beating angelic wings.

“Second turn lights the mind… Soul escapes its confines.”

Rowan was expecting the voice but it still shook him to the core, and he could not help but ask himself why he was speaking in the language of Primordials, a language he had only learned when he saw the vision of Time, Light, and Demon inside the memory of his bloodline.

Of course, Rowan had several hypotheses, each one crazier than the last, but he thought that the most likely reason for this was that he must have found a way to link to his past and share knowledge with his previous self the moment he acquired the bloodline of time, and the reason he could not remember doing such a thing was the missing memories left in the final portion of his dimensional flesh.

The theory sounded insane on paper, but after thinking about it for a while, he saw that it was viable, maybe not for others, but he has an authentic bloodline of time and his Ouroboros bloodline that had a rather dramatic effect on time when it was paired with it could lead to all sort of unknown changes.

The increasing rotation of the sphere drew his attention and it seemed to have reached a tipping point, suddenly the sphere ignited with a loud bang that nearly broke his mental space in two, and the heat that it emitted turned his mental space to ash, and only the frantic healing of it by Rowan kept it in a balance.

Slowly he began to maintain control and the recovery of his mental space matched the destruction from the heat waves and then exceeded it, and before long, his mental spaces despite being under the intense heat managed to maintain a pristine condition.

He had unlocked six of the nine fractals, leaving three more to be unlocked. Rowan already knew what the last three were going to be, and it still firmed the theory in his mind that he had been able to send a message to the past with his bloodline of time, how else would he have been able to know that he would have access to these nine entirely different streams of power a million years ago?

Many things about his stay and arrival in this realm were suspicious but Rowan was determined to know the truth one way or another.

To get the seventh fractal was easy, he pulled from his mental space harvested a large pile of blue earth, and brought it to the seventh rune fractal after absorbing it and lighting up, the rotation of the sphere began to slow down, and in a short while it stopped and it began to vibrate in a weird manner.

It was as if there were two terrifying forces acting on it so it could rotate in two opposite directions at the same time, this naturally led to it slowing down and stopping, and the weird vibration came from two ewuwp forces battling against each other.

The seventh rune fractal was Ascendant energy. Rowan watched the migrating sphere for a while for any changes and seeing none, shrugged and called up his soul energy and in a blink of an eye transformed it into pure Calamity Aura.

This Aura activated the eighth rune fractal and the vibration from the sphere increased to the extent that the surface of the sphere was blurred, and then Rowan brought out the final piece of the puzzle to complete the rune fractals, a piece of Aetherium harvested from the endless ocean.
