The Primordial Record

Chapter 929  Benefits of the Bloodline Of Time

Sealing the Eye of the Primordial had prevented Rowan from accessing the souls and memories of the Reflections, depriving him of the pieces to the puzzle that was his past. It was an annoying setback, but one he knew would not last for long, with the deaths of the Reflection, time was on his side, and he would unravel the mysteries that were buried in history.

There was a vast amount of information and resources hidden in their memories, but at this moment accessing them was nearly impossible without exposing the Eye of the Primordial.

Questions about the origins of the Reflections, their true purpose, the knowledge they knew of reality and the past. So much knowledge was right at his fingertips but he could not access them because he had to Seal the Eye.

For a moment he had debated his actions in sealing the Eye with such powerful souls that would aid his understanding of the past, but then he compared both treasures and realized that he would have to forego discovering the secrets of the Reflections for now in exchange for keeping such a magnificent power like the Eye of a Primordial with him, and he would prefer if the only side-effect he was experiencing was just a mild chill, an unsealed Eye may affect him in ways he could not understand even though the Eye was not truly present here with him.

The things he could learn from the Eye were incalculable and in time it may prove to be one of his most valued assets if he could control and understand it, and so, he would rather suffer the inconvenience of losing the advantage of accessing the memories of the Reflection and keep the Eye, no matter how dangerous it was to have it around him. He doubted he could easily pick up an Eye of a Primordial, dead or otherwise.

Rowan sighed and pressed his fingers against his eyes, he could feel the beginning of a phantom headache building inside his head at the thought of the heights he would have to exceed in order to contain a Primordial\'s eye, but something exceeded that headache, it was excitement.

Rowan did not know what other people might be thinking if they were in his shoes, and he did not care about it that much, all he knew was that the thought of dominating a power that was considered to be supreme, even if it was only a small piece of it, was a challenge that made his blood boil.

Although he had faced harsh trials throughout his journey, there was always one constant thought at the back of his mind, and that was he was privileged to be in this position.

No matter the trials in the past or the future, he would rather be here facing it, standing against the might of a Primordial, than sitting inside a home in peace. He did not know when this transformation had occurred, but Rowan had begun to love these moments.

His life may be nothing but endless battles, but even in the darkness, there could be moments of extreme beauty, at least according to Rowan.

Perking himself up for the challenges ahead, he reviewed the knowledge he had gathered about Time, Will, and how it could be used in the sealing of this eye.

Rowan did not fully understand the true powers of the first and second dimensions, so he did not know how to use them effectively, but he knew that the Third Dimension was basically the power of Space, and the Fourth Dimension was Time, those who had the power to control fourth-dimensional abilities were known as Will Holders, as the power of time was available to them to control to a limited degree.

They could not perform crazy feats of impossibility with this power, but it ensured that even if they existed outside the influence of a Supreme World, they were eternal. The effect of time on their consciousness was virtually non-existent and to a limited extent they could reverse and freeze time in an area, but that change was not permanent.

Will Holders with the power over the Fourth Dimension could only control time in a small area and reverse or freeze time for a limited duration that depended on how deep their control over the Fourth Dimension was. This time frame can be as limited as freezing time for a few seconds to a few years, for even within the ranks of fourth-dimensional Will Holders, there were clear gaps in their abilities.

Against other Will Holders of the Fourth Dimension, the time freeze or reversal power had no effect on them as their Will could personally counter any such intrusion against them, but that was different against a fifth dimensional Will Holder who could control Space-Time.

Rowan had a peculiar relationship with the power of Time, his heritage meant he had a unique perspective on time that others could not match. A relationship that was so powerful that he had previously performed miracles and he has no idea the entire ramifications behind his actions.

It could be said that perhaps one of the reasons he could easily attain the power of Will was his relationship with time, and his other actions, like the creation of his massive Dawn, Dusk, and Twilight Spell was a result of this factor.

The first time Rowan wielded the power of Will inside the Underverse against Archmages, he did something quite unexpected with that power using his instincts alone, and although it was because of the peculiar situation that he found itself that made such a thing possible, nevertheless it was quite special.

He had possessed the body of one of his Berserker Clones and with it, he had been able to assess both the possible past and the future of that clone and wielded the abilities that were linked to that clone in all its possible past and future with no issues.

Rowan was not able to employ this power again because the Berserker Clone was born from his fleshy body, and without a body of flesh, his consciousness could not power this ability, making Rowan\'s unique ability to reach far beyond time no longer available to him.

It was when the newly awakened Principality informed Rowan that the power he had wielded at that period was impossible for those who wielded a Fourth Dimensional Will, or even the fifth, and only a sixth dimensional Will Holder was capable of wielding the power of the past and the possible futures with such ease.
