The Primordial Record novel Chapter 1116

Chapter 1116 Touching Grass

The serpent tattoo flowed through his skin, and for a moment it was almost as if it was about to emerge from his body because his skin bulged out, but something seemed to be missing or there was not enough power to make it manifest outside, and after moving around for a while it vanished leaving a normal tattoo behind.

Beacon's enhanced size shrunk down to his normal Golden giant form before he returned to his base mortal body, and he felt a rush of knowledge enter his mind, he understood that what he had just experienced was the awakening of his Natal Treasure that was unique to their bloodline.

If he manifested the serpent then it would become the perfect weapon that suited him. A weapon that would grow stronger as he did, a companion that would follow him to the ends of eternity.

'Has anyone ever been this loved?'

Laughing aloud he slowly descended from the mountain, no longer feeling pain, but determined to grow stronger so he could climb higher and actualize his Natal Treasure, and when he reached the bottom, there were thousands of Elders waiting for him, and he was grilled deeply about his experience on the mountain and the awakening of his Natal Treasure.

It was unfortunate that at his present level, he could not yet summon this treasure anytime that he wanted to, but according to what he could infer from his bloodline, he should be able to do this if he could access the third part of the seven-pointed star in his heart.

Because, unlike every other Natal Treasure that the Ascendants possessed, theirs was alive!

However, there was already a benefit to be gained from awakening his Natal Treasure since he could feel that his bloodline was constantly being purified and enhanced when without him practicing at a rate that was far greater than before.

For the moment, the Elders forbade anyone else from climbing the mountain until they could run several more tests until they were satisfied with it. The reason for this was simple, if the mountain turned out to be a finite treasure that could run out eventually, then they must make sure only their best and brightest had access to it.

Rowan watched this development without much interference, at this time he planned not to reveal himself easily to these children because of certain unknown factors that he might not have accounted for. It would be easier to guide them from the shadows while remaining out of sight for as long as possible.

Also, it was a test to know how they would handle the ultimate power that was dropped on their laps without a mighty hand hovering above them. If one knew the right places, power could be easily attained, but having the heart to handle power the way it should was not something that could be easily found. Rowan hoped that these children would make him proud.

There must be more to life beyond his endless wars.

As he had expected, it did not take long for the Elders to begin organizing the people to spread throughout the city. Around his new body was a vast valley that should have no reason to hold billions despite its size, but as the Elders discovered, it did not matter how many people entered the valley, there was always space to accommodate more.

He dropped it and the grass went still, fascinated rather than afraid the child picked up the grass again and tried to remember what he had been doing before it moved, deciding he had been thinking about food, specifically a warm pudding, he gasped aloud as the grass began to wiggle as if it was alive, until it began to take the shape of a word.

The word was in a strange form that was unrecognizable, yet the boy could still understand it as he muttered, "Warm pudding?"

The grass in his hands exploded into a warm gooey paste whose aroma instantly spread for dozens of feet around the boy, curious spectators turned around to see a young boy licking his fingers with an equally excited and guilty look in his eyes.

It did not take long for the boy to be queried and he told them of his discovery. Looking at the almost unlimited head of grass in the valley, people began to reach down and pluck the grass, and thereby imagine the food they wanted, quickly discovering that this worked with only a firm mental image inside.

Another new head of grass quickly regrew from where it was taken, making this valley appear to be an infinite source of food.

The discovery that it was not only limited to food but also drinks caused a new wave of excitement through the crowd, before long the entire valley transformed into a heaven of unlimited food and drinks, and the aroma of a heavenly feast spread for miles around.

Sizzling meats that were grilled to perfection, delectable sauces, fruits, vegetables, wines, and any food imaginable were present in ever-increasing quantity and quality as with more experiments, far more exotic dishes were being created.
