The Primordial Record

Chapter 1742: The Voidborn Era

His Origin Land was no longer boundless in his senses. Rowan could now see its expanding edges, and the sight of it was amazing.

Of course, the Origin Land had no borders in a spatial sense, and any immortal within, even given an infinite lifespan, would never see its end, but to Rowan, everything fell into place, and he could perceive what should not and could not be seen.

Being able to detect the size of his Origin Land did not mean this realm had weakened; instead, it signified his increasing capability in mastering the power of Origin.

Previously, he could not even sense the limits of the Origin Land and did not understand many of its mysteries. Still, with the creation of the Archai, one mystery was finally resolved, and that was the overall shape of his realm.

How do you define the shape of physics itself, or the shape of the number Pi? What is the color of gravity or the notes that make up silence?

To understand the shape of his realm was to transcend mundane geometry, for his realm existed in a state of pure terrifying and magnificent function, which was his inheritance as Eos.

The shape of his Realm was his name, Eos.

In the past, when Rowan wanted to explore the true meaning behind the name Eosah, he had held back because he feared that his understanding of the name would not be enough, and he needed to gain the meaning from its source.

Now he saw how that would have been a great mistake if he had gone along with that attitude to gain the true meaning of Eosah. Although she was not as powerful as he was in terms of the strength of her foundations, Rowan’s consciousness at that time was not ready for a knowledge of this magnitude.

If an immortal were to know the true meaning behind his name, they would be able to fully understand his Origin Land, which automatically eliminated any immortal that was not at the ninth dimensional level.

Like fireflies surrounding a burning flame, the rest of his true name danced around Eos, complementing it and enhancing its magnificence.

His name was the Origin Land, and the Origin Land was his name.

Rowan took a while to appreciate these changes, and then he began the part of the work that he had kept for last, transforming and resurrecting all of his children.

If he followed the pathway for all Reality, then presently he was at the Genesis Era, the birth of a Reality, but Rowan did not believe that he strictly followed the normal lifespan of a Reality when it came to the nature of Eras.

For one, his true Genesis was in the past when he was born, so it could be said he had experienced his Genesis Era, and even more after that.

The next Era after Genesis was the Emberfall Era, which represented the inevitable decline of Reality, but has he not also gone through the same process? Eos had barely been born before Nyxara, the Primordial of Soul, rudely butchered him.

An average Reality might have gone through the Emberfall Era and lost the cohesion of its inhabitants as strife and conflict would arise among their children, bringing forth the third Reality Era, the Bloodmarked Era, but Rowan had apparently skipped the Emberfall Era straight to the Bloodmarked Era, as he had undergone destruction of his form.

Still, suppose Rowan chose to continue following the pattern of the Eras. What was to come next would be the Silvershroud Era, which should be the Era that marked the beginning of progress and revealed mysteries after the end of the Bloodmarked Era, which brought destruction.

Perhaps, his Silvershroud Era began when he gained the Primordial Record, bringing with it the beginning of growth and the slow unveiling of the mysteries that shrouded his past.

Continuing with this fascinating line of reasoning, Rowan continued following the pattern. After the Silvershroud Era would be the Stormforged Era, where a new reign of disaster would arise from the innovation that took place during the previous Era.

The Primordial Record gave him power and the path to the truth, but it also brought storms along with it. The Third Prince, who had been using Rowan’s ignorance to exploit the Primordial Record, had gone to war with him in order to suppress Rowan.

His Stormforged Era was truly tumultuous, but it was the motivation he needed to take the next significant step into becoming a dimension, taking a step closer to his roots.

Without the pressure arising from the tyranny of the Third Prince, it would have taken Rowan a much greater amount of time to become a dimension, which naturally led to the next Era that would come after, which was the Celestial Reign Era, which should mark the birth of the gods and other divinities.

Rowan had made great progress in this Era, creating many new lifeforms and creating powerful celestial angels and primordial Titans on Doom Star.

Previously, Rowan only knew of these numbers of Eras from the words of Eosah; however, he was able to learn of the next three Eras that came after the Celestial Reign Era from pieces of knowledge he had gathered from the soul of Primorsial Soul.

What came next was the Dawnfire Era, during which a great civilization rose from the previous one. This should be his ascension to the realm of Origin and the recreation of his city of Sheol.

Then followed the Oblivion Era, a dark age marked with ruin and lost knowledge. For Rowan, this should be his near destruction of the Gilded Maw Spell and the battle with Primordial Soul that led to the eradication of so much of what he had built and loved.

Coincidentally, he had entered the realm of Oblivion, where he had also gained and lost the last of his innocence, finally discovering his true roots and taking the form that was his Destiny.

The last Era he had gleaned from the soul of the Primordial was the Voidborn Era– When a new Reality would emerge from nothingness.

“So, I am in my Voidborn Era. I must be the first Reality that has gone through nine Reality Eras in such a short time.”
