The Primordial Record

Chapter 1270: The Limit of Infinity (3)



Rowan now had a clear goal in mind, to merge his Reflection with his Berserker Aspects, taking from each of them all the processes that he desired to create a Reflection that was capable of accessing the future.

If his Berserker Clones could not see beyond his dimension, then his Reflections who possessed nearly the same authority as himself while carrying the traits that allowed him to access their future would be enough to break the shackle he was experiencing with the issue of accessing the future outside his dimension.

Also unlike the newly useless information each Berserker Clones could get him from the future, Rowan was aiming for something more tangible than brief flashes of feelings that he usually got from the Clones.

At this time Rowan already had an idea of how he was able to see the future with the aid of his Berserker Clones while others couldn't, and he thought that it may be down to two major factors, or a combination of the two.

It was at this moment standing on Doom Star that Rowan finally settled that it was the latter, and yet it was not a combination of two factors but three.

Firstly, it was the fact that he had rid himself of the Intent of Chaos. For anyone else, this would be something special, but in his case, as a living dimension, it meant that in a sense he had cut himself from reality, therefore the ironclad rules that bound the rest of reality did not apply to him, and this naturally led to the second aspect which was the unknown powers of his first and second dimension.

Every dimension from the third dimension upwards had their special names and abilities associated with them. The third dimension was Space, the fourth dimension was Time, the fifth was Space/Time, the Sixth was Memory/Mind and the seventh was called... Fate.

Yet his first and second dimension was something he had not seen anywhere in reality and therefore he had no framework to judge its capabilities or its functions. The creation of his first and second dimensions was mostly created by inspiration and deduction, and he had no idea if anyone else had ever controlled this power, but he thought it was unlikely for even the Primordial Record could not find any traces in the past of anyone else who possessed the power of this Dimension.

The fact that time passed extremely quickly inside them and they further compressed his already insanely powerful Aether levels to a more dense and rich version was amazing, yet he had not figured out what powers they could express and their names, and he could not discount the option that they might be the reason he could peer into the future.

The last reason he alone was able to peer into the future was recently revealed by his ninth Reflection, and it involved the vision he saw through the bloodline of Time. Although at the moment the ninth Reflection saw this memory he did not realize the significance which was deliberately done by Rowan because he was keeping all his cards close to the chest, and even his Reflections could only see a small corner of his plans.

In that Memory, Rowan had seen three Primordials, Demon, Light, and Time, this was the moment before Time was to be shattered so his essence would spread across all of reality to become one of the foundations of the higher dimensions, just as Chaos had done before him. However, for such a grisly fate that would condemn him to become a shadow of himself, Time was not against it, expressing his desire to follow the plans of the Primordial, but he had been insistent on the rest giving him a period to complete his great task, the completion of a mysterious Map.

In addition to these three Primordials was a Primordial Beast, The Torch Dragon whose life was about to end.

One thing that was present in the interaction of all four parties was the constant allusion to the future, it was as if every Primordial Being had the ability to see the future, even the Torch Dragon that was about to be killed had told Time,

"Time... Despite all that you know is to come, you still choose to stand against me."

Time in a fit of rage had begun to tear apart the Torch Dragon's skull and Demon had cried out in anger that Time was spoiling the future plans and wasting essential essence needed for reality."

All of these interactions were important secrets about the past, but what Rowan had used to finalize his understanding were the final words of Time who said that the Primordials were effectively blocking all sights into the future, and they had denied Time any attempt to access the future alluding that the powers of the Primordials especially Time were too great to look into the future without drastic consequences that could alter the flow that they had set in place, thereby spoiling any plans they could ever make in the present.

This was a great sacrifice to discard the power to peer into the future just to preserve the arrangement they had made.

This more than anything made Rowan comprehend the ruthlessness of the Primordials. They had no problem crushing any upstarts to their rule, but they were also ruthless against themselves.

Rowan knew that poking out the eyes of others was relatively easy, but doing the same thing to yourself was a hundred times harder. The Primordials would blind themselves against everything that was to come even if it meant that a danger they could not anticipate might erupt later in the future.

Maybe it was because they believed they had killed everything that could stand against them in the future, leaving themselves to become the peak of existence, or perhaps they trusted in their great plans to such an extent that they believed that the sacrifice of binding themselves and everyone else to the future was worth it.

For whatever reason they did this was not important to Rowan, what was important was that he was able to bypass whatever restriction the Primordials placed over reality that prevented even Time himself from seeing the future, and so Rowan believed that depriving himself of the Intent of Chaos was not enough to break such a shackle, he had to be a living dimension who had access to a lower dimension such as the first and second because he theorized that the lock the Primordials placed over reality did not affect the first and second dimension.

With his understanding that he might have found a loophole in the lock set up by the Primordials, Rowan pushed his plans into overdrive, and finally, the day that he completed his Reflection Technique, everything seemed the same, reality kept running as it always was, only Rowan knew that everything had changed.

Every advantage he had would be multiplied, and the disadvantages he could not overcome would be made into stepping stones that could leapfrog him forward.

If everyone in reality were prisoners including the Primordials themselves, only Rowan was

free.

He was not just going to survive, he would thrive!

He would not cower under the mighty shadows of the Primordials, he wanted to know if he could make the pinnacle of existence, bleed.
