The Primordial Record novel Chapter 1994

Chapter 1994: The Fifth Layer

In the moment of burning his Origin, Rowan realized a fundamental truth. To become a Primordial... was a glorious thing.

What did it mean to become an individual to stand at the peak of Existence, to control and embody one of the fundamental forces of creation? Time, Space, even the Soul... they became them.

In all of Existence, during its birth and rebirth, there were extremely few Primordials, and only in this Existence, on the verge of destruction, had there been a large number of Primordials relatively speaking. Placed into perspective, the number of Primordials born in this Existence equaled the total number of Primordials there had ever been in all previous Existences combined.

It was not as if this present Existence had greater amounts of geniuses and special individuals than all past Existences combined; in fact, it was the opposite. This Existence was ridiculously young compared to other Existences in the past, and it had barely lasted for 800 Million Cosmic Eras... which on the scale of Existences was barely a single second.

In a regular Existence, at such a short amount of time, there would barely be a single Primordial born to it, but something important had changed, and it was the death of the Luminious and the dispersal of Enoch’s Essence all across Existence.

The Luminious, by their mere existence, caused everything around them to be diminished. Their talents were so great that a majority of all Origin Powers were tied to the light of their Lumina and the sounds of their Abhima. If all the Origin Essence in Existence were a million in total, then the Luminious held 999,000 of the Essence of Origin.

Inside the core of his being, Rowan saw the end of Space, and he understood at this moment that he needed to be willing to burn his Origin, to give up his power, and sacrifice his ambition to see the truth.

The Luminious needed to die for Existence to evolve and grow.

It was a strange epiphany to get in the center of such a terrible situation, but Rowan knew that even if this information would not help him much, Eos would find it very invaluable.

The Luminious holding most of the Origin Essence in Existence was not a problem; the issue came from their attitude towards Existence and the power they held.

They were stagnant; they did not experiment with their abilities, did not create anything worthwhile with all the power of Origin in their fingertips, and as a result, Origin did not grow, but remained stagnant for countless Cosmic Eras.

Origin Force was not weak; perhaps it was even stronger than End, but the Luminious, in their passivity, allowed a power like End to continue to grow and evolve until it snuffed them out.

For countless Cosmic Eras as Existence was rebirthed and ended, Origin Essence was fixed. If there were a million Origin Essence from the birth of the Luminious, then till their death, there were still that many Origin Essence left.
