The Primordials could not survive in this world of death without any bit of Origin power inside their bodies, but the Kindling of Circe could collect anything as its fuel, even nothingness itself, and while there was no Origin power in this dead world, there was enough energy of death that the kindling could burn as bright as a star.
This burning Kindling performed only one purpose: it burned itself out to create Origin Essence, and this essence, even if it was the smallest droplet, fed the flames of the Kindling, and it burned brighter, drawing the power of death from all over the dead world and siphoning it into the Kindling.
With a loud crack that could be heard for miles, the Kindling burst into a bright light that swallowed the body of Circe, and when this light vanished, her eyes were open.
She looked around, and at first she seemed to be shocked by the changes in the body of Victorious Genesis, and then her eyes tightened as she looked into the sky, as a sense of recognition fell into her mind.
Her awakening had caused a void to surround them where the energy of death and other unknown energy existed, and this gave the two Primordials beside her the chance to awaken also.
Inside their bodies, their Origin Force ignited from ashes, and essence began to flow through their bodies. In a second, they had regained consciouness and their powers were rapidly returning.
The second Primordial to awaken was Fury, the Primordial of Resurrection, and he was the second choice of Serene Ascension, as his Origin Force was considered to be crucial in this trip.
His importance displayed itself because, as he awakened, he immediately looked behind him to see nothing but ten thousand skulls, all with different shapes and sizes... it was all that remained of the ten thousand Old Ones that came with them.
Fury looked behind him with sadness in his eyes that quickly vanished as he radiated the power of his concept, causing a twelve colored flame domain to erupt out of his body that covered a few hundred miles.
The eruption of this domain caused Victorious Genesis to open his eyes, and the first thing he did was to look at his arms, no longer those of a child; he was now like a golden statue, and for a moment, he was lost for words. He sensed the current power of his Origin Force, and a bittersweet smile touched his lips.
For so long, he had been trying to reach the fourth layer of his Origin, and now he had reached it when he was not even trying, beside him he could sense that the two Primordials with him had also reached the fourth level of Origin.
Before they left, Fury, Circe, and he had been at the third level of their Origin, and to discover that they had all reached the peak of their cultivation in the blink of an eye was astonishing. Just this benefit alone made the trip worthwhile despite the risk.
Victorious Genesis was about to look behind him when he felt the tremors of life as ten thousand Old Ones were resurrected from death. He was not too surprised because he knew that the domain of Fury could endlessly resurrect any lifeform below the Primordial level as long as they had not been dead for a long time, and a part of them remained.
