The Primordial Record

Chapter 683 A Future Tower Master

Every Archmage here had a weird look in their eyes, except for Hashim Prizahl, Archmage of the Black Tower, the rest of the Archmages here were all in the bodies of their Anima.

As a sign of the growing trust and cooperation between these five Archmages, they had agreed to place one of their Anima inside the location that was close to the Black Tower. Bonded in battle and a collective interest, they all gathered to discuss common interests and problems.

“I have been doing a lot of digging these past few weeks, and for such little information it was ridiculously hard for me to find it,” Oshim said, “The last sight of an Empyrean in this universe was two million years ago, and the last active time the Empyrean was truly active was four hundred million years ago.

“Which should be around the time when our Supreme World infiltrated this universe. I am from the Alchemist Union, and although we are powerful, you should know that information about the full nature of this universe does not fall under our radar. You guys, on the other hand, you should know a bit more of the mysteries of this universe.”

Hashim Prizahl laughed self-deprecatingly, “That line of inquiry is useless, trust me. The truth about this universe has been hidden from anyone below the Tower Master Level. Have you ever wondered why the share of Primordial Aether allocated for us inside this universe is so excessive?”

“Yeah, about that,” Lyon Marker, an Archmage of the White Tower rubbed his chin in deep thought, “I have always thought about that, I only collected a hundred drops of Primordial Aether in the Barium Universe, and this was a universe nearing the end of its lifespan, but here I can effortlessly collect a thousand drop of Primordial Aether every ten thousand years, how come this universe is not dead with such amount of Essence being drained and shared among hundreds of Archmages, not even considering the tremendous amounts the Tower Masters must be receiving?”

Not waiting for any of them to reply, Lyon continued talking faster, the excitement he was feeling was palpable,

“New worlds are being born, and the average density of Aether is exploding in growth all around the universe every year, this is not the normal indication you see from a universe that is being bled dry, perhaps the theory of a Super Universe may not be far fetched.”

Laughter burst out among their group and Lyon frowned a little bit, he was aware that what he proposed was truly far-fetched, but what else could explain why this universe was able to produce so much Primordial Aether without destroying its ability to grow, the absence of its Empyrean or other foreign powers? Why were the top echelons of the Magus Society placing the information about this universe under lock?

“That theory is absurd,” Oshim laughed, “perhaps there may have been Super Universes in the past, but that was during the Primordia Era, I don’t think even the Supreme Magus Endirius existed during that time, surely you must know about the greatest war that had ever occurred in all of time. That unfathomable war shattered those Super Universes, leading to the imprisonment of Chaos itself.”

Lyon countered him, “You also should be aware of how time twists all truths. That war that happened so long ago has been lost in the fog of history and the true nature of Super Universes has also been lost with it. Don’t pretend that you would be able to recognize a Super Universe if you see it.

“Anyway I would be placing an Anima permanently in the Ancient Library to search for information about this universe, since I would be the one taking the risk of madness by dwelling deep in these matters, I enjoin you all to contribute enough Primordial Aether for this purpose.” 𝑖.𝘤ℴ𝘮

“Of course Lyon,” Hashim replied, “Your sacrifice is invaluable, and we shall support you with everything you need.”

“Good,” Lyon nodded in relief, “What do you think about dragging a bit of information from the Covenant about this matter?”

“Trust me, it would be useless going to them, they report directly to the Tower Master of the White Tower, we all know that she is… crazy.”

“We are wasting our time deliberating on these matters, they are far above our level, and we should concentrate on the primary reason why I brought you all here for this gathering today.” Hashim’s voice silenced the rest, he smiled joyously and continued speaking, clearly what he was about to say next was very pleasing, “Andar is now a Mage, and he will be partaking in the test for Mithril Rank on all the Magus disciplines.” 𝑖𝘦.𝑐𝘰𝘮

The silence that occurred next was deafening, the issue of the universe was forgotten and the Archmages went silent.

“I am here to present a great offer to all of you. If you are the first to support Andar among your respective Great Towers, then he is willing to take you all in name as his masters. You should know that if he does not fall, it is inevitable that he becomes an Archmage, and it would not be far-fetched that a new Tower Master would be born. Imagine the opportunity to be linked to a future Tower Master.”

Oshim wanted to interject, but he stopped himself, a normal Archmage might spend tens of thousands of years to become a Master in a single discipline, and that was if that Mage was highly talented. Out of a pool of a million Mage, it was rare to see a single Mage achieving mastery of their discipline.

What did it mean when a single Mage could achieve mastery in all six disciplines in such a ridiculously short time, and they were all aware he did all that while he was an Acolyte studying one of the most difficult Meditation Arts ever created and some would argue it was the most difficult Meditation Art ever created.

They were all aware he crushed any records on the utilization of this Meditation Art, his talents were peerless, and his potential matches.

Oshim went silent, for he could not discover a single reason why this child could not become a potential Tower master in the future.

Lyon whispered to himself, yet everyone here could hear him, “I sometimes wonder if a Mage like this could be born due to the nature of this universe?”
