The Primordial Record novel Chapter 2096

Chapter 2096: The Duplicity of Memory

A fracture had appeared in the lowest layer of the lattice that bound Existence, and it appeared on the spot where the first dimension met the second. A place where length touched width and refused to become anything higher.

Normally, this fracture would never exist, not inside Existence because something had taken out this rule from it, but only at the very edge of Existence could Eos be able to make this happen.

He looked at the fracture, and something about its nature seemed to call to him, and Eos knew that this call was the feeling of standing before the precipice of the unknown, and for someone like him whom much of the secrets of Existence, this call was a fatal lure.

Eos reached out and touched the fracture. The moment his finger made contact, the line bent. This bend was a conceptual curve in Existence as infinite straightness folded inward, wrapping around the 2D plane like a thread being sewn through cloth.

The plane rippled as the lines of the fracture thickened. Eos could suddenly feel a pull on the energy levels within his body, and it soon subsided, but this alone caused him to nearly go wide-eyed with shock.

There was one thing Eos knew kept him heads and shoulders above everyone else, and that was his energy stores. He had not seen anything that could compete with him in this area; perhaps Enoch at his prime and Hundun may have similar energy stores, but he could never tell.

For him to feel a strain on his energy stores meant that even a thousand Primordials linking their energy pools together would be strained to handle the power needs to open this fracture. Automatically, this cut out most of the inhabitants of Existence from ever accessing the mysteries beyond Existence.

Sometimes it was just the length of the stick that mattered.

Suddenly, the fracture began to deepen when it had taken its full of his energy, becoming neither line nor plane but a road.

This road stretched upward, not in space, but in meaning, piercing through the third dimension, the fourth, the fifth, and continuing to accelerate through every layer of reality with terrifying speed.

More energy was drawn from his body in ridiculous amounts, and Eos laughed with annoyance when he noted that if this was him before he began consuming the Origin Essence inside the Primordial Record, he would have had to stop this experiment because he would have been almost sucked dry.

As of now, he no longer feared a drain like this because he was already hundreds of times stronger than his previous self, and that was him even underselling his present abilities.

Soon, the drain of his energy stopped, and Eos began to feel another sort of pull, but this one was a gentle yet irresistible invitation. 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

This invitation was the knowledge that this road did not lead to anywhere inside existence. It led out.

He hesitated for only a heartbeat, then he stepped onto it.

The moment his foot touched the newly formed path, all of Existence vanished; his Ten Thousand Origin Realms could barely be felt, Limbo, the Shattered Cradle, the Corrupted Scar where the Ancient Primordials dwelled, and everything he had known for many billions of years, all of it simply fell away as though they had never been more than a dream.

In fact, for a moment, it was almost as if everything that he had experienced up to this point was a dream, and only now was he waking up from it.

This sensation was very dangerous, and Eos had to take a few seconds to marshal his thoughts before he moved ahead.
