Chapter 1900: You Would Bear The Weight (1)
What the Archai brought down resembled chains, but these were just the physical aesthetics that Rowan had picked alongside his main body, Eos, mimicking the Will Chains used in tying down the fragments of Time inside Reality.
Ten years had passed in Limbo, one hundred thousand years had passed inside Eosah’s Reality, and inside Rowan’s Origin Land, a million years had gone by. Three streams of Time all ran simultaneously, and Eos oversaw them all.
Initially, the time streams inside Eosah’s Reality were linked to the time streams that governed Limbo, and Rowan was only able to create such a massive divide because he had cut off Eosah’s Reality from Limbo. Still, if his plans for Reality were to go according to his wishes, this was not enough.
Everything inside of Reality was connected to the Primordials, from the light that touches the skin, to the air breathed by mortals and immortals. Even time, space, life, memory… all of these were connected to the Primordials, and it was easier to destroy Reality than to erase their influence from it.
Still, if there were anyone who had the wisdom and was stubborn enough to try, that would be Eos.
For the past one hundred thousand years, Eos, alongside Rowan, his Archai, Telmus, and the Nascent Primordials he had chosen, along with all the heroes from the past and the present, had been focused on his vision.
This was likely the most extraordinary feat of cooperation ever seen in the entirety of Reality, as everyone came together to shape their future. Of course, Eos, Rowan, and the Archai alone were enough for this task, and they would have achieved it in less time and done a more perfect job, but he was not going to be taking this route.
If Reality and all of existence were to belong to more than him, then he should give everyone the chance to put their Will behind its creation and maintenance. Additionally, this method was designed to cultivate the powers and potential of everyone within Reality.
Except for the Nascent Primordials and the Primordials beneath him, who understood the incredible feat that Rowan was about to accomplish, the rest of Reality felt awe and knew that perhaps only when they reached the level of Primordials would they be able to comprehend what was happening.
Before Rowan brought out the plan, even Telmus, a Primordial, thought it was impossible. However, Rowan began to reveal his vision to them slowly. Essentially, what he needed to do was to go into the core of Reality, and that meant mastering the Origin of every force inside of Reality to the greatest possible extent. While inside the core of Reality, he would begin to duplicate every piece of it, one at a time, while slowly stripping away the previous parts and replacing them with the new.
Obviously, there were many things wrong with this plan as Telmus pointed out, first it was impossible, second it was impossible, and thirdly it was freaking impossible. This was like eating your cake and having it raised to a power of infinity.
Rowan smiled and said, Let me show you the path, and he took out the Supreme Circles that he had once duplicated when he was nothing but a fifth-dimensional immortal.
The Supreme circles were one of the most complicated techniques in all existence, for the simple reason that they were not created for mortals or even normal immortals. Still, for ninth-dimensional beings and Realities, and depending on the focus of the ninth-dimensional being, some might find it incredibly hard to solve.
What it did was take the raw concepts of creation and power to the limit, and displayed how all of these forces can come together to create an infinite number of possibilities, hence the various paths to power being used by every lifeform inside Reality.
Rowan showing them this circle stunned everyone with him at that time, as they realized that this could act like a skeleton key to the vaults of every Origin Forces that comprised this Reality, however, it did not take long for Telmus to point out that Rowan had duplicated the Supreme Circle, using the material of Soul, and that power was still linked to Reality.
What Rowan was describing to them was more complicated than creating anti-life, because that would be easier; he was proposing to duplicate the essence of a thing perfectly, but the duplicate would be different.
On the surface, it would be the same, and the core as well would be the same, and if anyone, even a Primordial, tried to find the difference, they would not be able to, but that would not matter because it was different from what came before.
It was a concept that was hard to put into words.
Rowan wanted to create something that was exactly the same, yet different, and even for him, this was a challenge, and he was only making it harder by including everyone else in the equation.
The plan had been extensive, and except for Telmus, who was able to comprehend about ten percent of it, followed by Eva, who comprehended eight percent, and Thenos, five percent, the rest was stuck at two percent completion, but that had gone a long way in pushing them down the road of finding and completing their Origin.
There were numerous components to this concept, but it broadly rested on three pillars: the Primordials, the body of Eosah, Rowan’s understanding of the Origin Force, and finally, Ether, his unique energy that differed from Aether.
A lot of the heavy lifting still had to be carried out by Rowan and the Archai, especially when it came to the creation of the core of this concept, which was the Road of Eternity.
To achieve what he wanted to do, Rowan needed a firm foundation that would not only serve as the core of his vision but also act as the bridge linking the past to the future. At the beginning of the Road of Eternity, the entirety of Eosah’s Reality would rest upon it. As Reality begins to change, it would drift across this road, like a leaf drifting down a calm river, and when it reached the end of this road, it would be something different yet remain the same. Those who had the perseverance to see the end of this road would know it was nothing but the beginning.
Rowan borrowed another concept from Eosah’s reality, and that was the presence of the lower realms and the higher realms… While Eosah’s Reality would be the lower realm, those that could reach the end of eternity would find a gate that led to the Land Of Origin, which was the realm of Eos, only in that place can a Primordial root themselves.
The second part of this plan, which could only be carried out by Rowan, was handling the Primordials. For all of their sins, they were still the foundations of Reality, and Rowan could not just kill them and assume their responsibilities like before, because, like the rest of existence inside of Reality, Rowan was going to be stripping himself of all the power granted to him by the Primordials, while also retaining it.
For any of this to be possible, there had to be a location where the excessive karma that would be generated by purging Reality of all of that power into something new would rest. Simply put, there would be consequences for breaking existence in this manner, and the Primordials would have to pay it.
