The Primordial Record

Chapter 1235: Resting Ground

Ascendant Suns Dilos and Trelmol’s conditions had not been great when the Time Storms began to ravage the realm, fighting against the Eye of Time had reduced them to pieces, and so, unlike the Calamity Suns that were able to fight against the hold of time, the two Ascendant Suns that were preoccupied with healing themselves could not resist, and they were flung far back into the distant past.

Due to the manner in which their bodies had been intertwined after they were shattered, they were not separated in the chaos, and when the ravage of the time storm unexpectedly ended as if it had been sucked away, they found themselves in a seemingly endless forest.

It took weeks to heal from the lingering effect of Time on their bodies, and in that time they chose to remain in one place in silence for although they understood that they were still in the same realm of their birth, everything here was different, perhaps hostile, and for Ascendants of their level, their instincts were almost premonitions, and so they remained inconspicuous until they could heal their wounds and gain a measure of strength to defend themselves with. With their healing completed, for the first time in tens of millions of years, the Ascendant Suns hid their glow, and like wraiths they slipped through the forest, marveling at the size of each tree that was miles high and the incredible strength in their wooden bodies, they knew this because they could feel the presence of weight in each tree, as if they were looking at an entire world instead of one tree.

They were not heading in a random direction because they noticed that the trees ahead were getting bigger, and those behind were smaller, and following instincts they headed towards the direction with larger trees, there was an equal consensus among the two Ascendant Suns to understand what time period they were before they began struggling to push towards the present.

The history of Ascendancy and Calamity was covered in fog, and even the two great Ascendant Suns did not know of their past, they awakened as they were, powerful and eternal, and for a while there was no need to understand what might have been when they were all that was.

When the Ascendants’ Suns began to fall to Calamity for one reason or another, it was impossible for the survivors not to tell that even their realm was against them, which they knew should not be the case, and this made them begin to question their past.

The many discrepancies of their existence began to reveal themselves anytime they attempted to travel to the past. As Ascendant Suns, the power to reach the past with their Will was supposed to be within their reach, but they could never return past the moment when they opened their eyes to this reality.

They knew that this realm was old, although many things on the surface were new, such as the continents and the threshold that separated the heavens and the earth, but the endless ocean was old, and the wind was even older.

The taste of great age on the breeze was palpable, and sometimes deep in the ocean floor, they could find weird markings, nothing physical of course, but traces of foreign energy not falling into the category of Ascendancy or Calamity, and they knew this was not signs of intruders in their realm because these energy traces were incredibly old.

Now finding themselves in this past where these massive trees that had not been present when they were born and detecting the foreign power flooding through them, they knew that whatever had happened to them, this one could be considered a blessing in disguise, or maybe a curse, they had no way of knowing.

The journey through the endless trees continued for years, and the miles they had passed were countless, but time for immortals was almost an abstract concept. At this time each tree they were passing had now become so massive it was almost impossible to see their crowns and it took several moments for them to be able to fly past one.

Over time the sense of power they were getting from these trees was becoming stronger and they estimated that in the region they were passing, the surrounding trees were equal to Ascendants at the second Dan!

This increased the sense of horror and wonder in their heart, for they knew that they had passed millions of trees of this size, and if they were all equal to fifth-dimensional Ascendants, then how powerful were the bigger trees ahead, and how could such a powerful civilization be wiped out from the surface of the realm.

With the clear understanding that the Ascendant Sun had over time due to them being at the seventh-dimensional level, they knew that they had not been thrown far back into the past, at most they estimated that this time period was 200 million years into the past, obviously, this was not a long time ago.

The Ascendants Suns had lived for 50 million years from the moment they had awakened, so this meant this time period was simply 150 million years ago from the moment of their awakening, which was very exciting for both of them because this was the period that had been before the rise of Ascendancy and Calamity, and if they wanted to know the truth of the past, there was no better place to find it than in this area.

Another couple of years passed, and now the trees began to become much sparse, but each of them was now so massive it almost defied imagination and what was even more drastic was the power emanation from them that was equal to that of a sixth-dimensional Ascendant.

By this point, the two Ascendant Suns became more careful and passed through these trees, and now they could begin to feel it more clearly, the thing that drew them more clearly than the increasing power of the trees and they could not help but frown as the energy traces became increasingly greater.

Then the space ahead opened up and the two Ascendant Suns could not help but gasp in shock when the peak of this world opened before them, a hundred super massive trees with the powers at the seventh dimension.

Ascendant Sun Dilos looked at Trelmol in dismay, before the fall of Ascendancy began, it was theorized that for there to be at least twenty new Ascendant suns, many trillions of years would have to go by. What did it mean for there to be a hundred of these massive trees at this level?

Perhaps it was because Dilos was the Ascendant that was more warlike, that he was the first to have noticed the signs of strife in this realm that they had missed for so long.

He bent down and scooped a piece of the earth in his hand and standing up he showed it to Trelmol, and it took a moment for Trelmol to understand that this was not dirt, but bone

dust.

Across the endless fields of trees that they had been passing through, the earth beneath their feet was not made from dirt but bones.

These silent trees were not as docile as one would think, and now when they scrutinized the spaces in between the gigantic trees they began to see fuller-sized bones that had not yet

been crushed.

If there had been a war in the past, these trees had won, and the bones of their enemies became their resting ground.
