The Primordial Record

Chapter 2184  Think Of It As Giving Birth

In silence, the Incarnations poured energy into him, and Prime began to scream as he forcefully began pulling out the construct from his eyes.

Trillions of runes were pulsing from his two hands and traveling through his fingers into the construct as Prime attacked it with everything he had and everything the Incarnations had to give him.

Every Incarnation here had seen the door to the fifth layer of their Origin, and this meant they had enhanced their essence and energy even though they did not push their way to the fifth layer.

Nevertheless, it made the energy they were pouring into Prime extremely powerful and dense, giving him the strength to be able to enhance his body and knowledge.

With a scream that shook this layer of the Eternal Tower, Prime pulled out everything he had and pulled the construct out of his eye.

The construct extended for more than fifteen feet into his head, wet and slimy, and it was screaming, although there was no sound.

Coiling like a snake, the construct attempted to strike back at Prime, in order to bore back into his head, and he was too weak to block it, but it was a good thing that he was not alone, and the Incarnations froze this construct in the air, its slimy proboscis an inch from his eye.

Prime chuckled and watched with hate as the construct was compressed by the Incarnation and kept aside; all of this would be material for Eos to investigate when the time was right.

From the void in his left eye, a sudden blast of power blasted out of it, and Prime groaned as he braced himself. The pressure of the future had been building behind his head for a long time, and now that the path was open, blasts of power were shooting out of his head, carrying arcs of pale purple lightning that shot out for millions of light-years as multiple shockwaves erupted from his eye, and Prime could no longer hold back his scream of pain.

The hands of the Incarnation pressed down on his shoulder to stop him from shaking himself to death and controlling the pressure inside his head.

What was happening inside Prime was that his entire Origin had been shredded into a million times a second. He held control over the four layers of time, but the fifth layer of time was being pushed through his body.

It was as if he were a six-inch snake being forced to swallow an entire planet. His Origin was stretched and destroyed, and only his incredible regeneration, boosted by every Incarnation here, was keeping him alive.

“Think of it as if you are giving birth,” Primordial Laughter whispered in Prime’s ears, and Prime stopped screaming for a moment and shouted, “Fuck You!!! Ahhhh… this hurt.”

Primordial Laughter and the rest of the Incarnation rolled their eyes. Prime had always held himself in a dignified manner, and they were glad that he was beginning to emerge from his shell; however, it was a shame that he had to suffer so much for him to reach this place that should have naturally come to him after a while.

The words from Primordial Laughter distracted Prime a bit from the pain, and he endured for hours until a small purple orb flew out of his eye, and Prime collapsed to the ground, utterly spent.

After a while, his recovery ability gave him back his missing eye, and he looked at that purple orb that had expanded to the size of a sun. Prime called it back to him, and it drifted back to him, settling on his palm.

He was holding the future on the palm of his hand.

It was easy for him to separate the Primordials and the Old Ones, who were wrapped in the power of Time, placing them in the distance, and he began to ready himself for absorbing the power of the future.

The Primordials and the Old Ones were all sitting cross-legged, and their eyes were closed. Their bodies had not yet realigned with the present time stream, and it would take a while for them to awaken, but their part was done, and it was time for Prime to finish what they started.

Before now, the plan for the absorption of the future had become solidified. Even if Prime was given access to the future, which was the fifth layer of time, he would still be too weak to take advantage of it.

Except for Eos, whose body was powerful enough to hold the fifth layer of Origin, Prime, his bloodline Avatar could hold on for a while, but he was still too weak to hold this power for long, not unless he merged back with Eos.

However, the Incarnations here had other plans, and that was to give Prime all of their essence, giving him the capability to be one of the first fully functional beings who could control the fifth layer of Time!

When Luminious Silence saw that Primordial Light controlled the fifth layer of Light, he was surprised that he had not killed the other Incarnations and took their essence to bolster his flesh, and this was the same concept they wanted to use with Prime.

One of the purposes they were created was to gather all of the Ancient Origins, thereby creating a link with Eos, and if they succeeded in that, then the next step would be for them to die; it was the quickest way for Eos to go to the next step.

Every Origin had to have one owner, and if that owner died, then someone else would be able to claim it, but Eos had found a way to cheat the system, so no one else in Existence would be able to gain the power of the Ancient Primordials.

Since he was both a “Reality” and also an “Individual,” every Incarnation that he created that became a Primordial would plant their Origin Core inside the Origin Land.

It was as if his land was the earth, and the Origin was a seed; if that seed is watered and given proper sunlight, it would grow to become a massive tree. However, if the tree dies, then there is nothing left; someone else would be able to plant another tree in the same spot.

The Incarnation had planted solid trees of Origin inside his Origin Land, and if they died, this tree should have collapsed, but this did not happen because they were a part of the land, a part of Eos, and their death did not destroy the tree they planted; it just gave Eos control over it.

Using this method, Eos had ensured that he alone would control all of the Ancient Origins of Existence.

Now that Prime had the fifth layer of Time with him, the Incarnations began to break the final barrier to the fifth layer of their Origin.

If they were going to die, they had to ensure that they gave Prime the greatest essence possible.

Prime, who was about to absorb the future, saw what the Incarnations were about to do. He paused and bowed to them, understanding the sacrifice they were about to make on his behalf. Strengthening his spirit, he drove the future into his heart.
