The development of the Blood Blessed was heading towards the right track, and as more of them became golden giants, his level as an Ascendant would increase as well, as they were both in a symbiotic relationship.
With a population of above three billion and a safe environment, he expected the population of the Blood Blessed to explode in a short time, meaning that his growth as an Ascendant would be almost limitless, as every newborn would be contributing to his overall power.
Shifting his focus away from the Blood Blessed, Rowan focused on assessing his present realm as an Ascendant. This was crucial to his future inside Doom Star, he needed to push his Ascendant state several levels higher so the moment he summoned the final part of his consciousness and awakened his dimension from a state of slumber, the commotion would be so massive it would stir up the entire realm.
Ascendancy would become another path he would take to completing his powerbase, and if his suspicion was correct that he was also undergoing Tribulation for the Supreme Circles, then he would need a brief moment to complete the Circles and finally become what was considered by all to be a True Immortal.
It was generally known that after completing the Supreme Circle, that was when an Immortal began to search for Will, there were many paths to complete the Supreme Circles, and Rowan was taking the greatest of them, the original path for which this entire Era was created.
He feared that completing it would not be easy, but it would appear that he was on the right path in doing so. If he could survive long enough to complete this path, then he would have the backing to chase eternity, for this Era would be his own.
'Yeah, no way it would be this easy. There are levels beyond levels that I am not seeing here, but whatever is to come, I will be ready for it. I only need to keep moving forward.'
Rowan had diverged from the path of a normal Ascendant a while ago and he could no longer use them as a measuring metric for his developmental process, but he knew that the next step for Ascendancy was entering the Dan, or in other words, achieving Will.
Unlike what was applicable in reality outside of this place, achieving Will here was ridiculously simple in comparison, making Rowan understand that perhaps the Soul had a great influence on attaining the power of Will. Ascendants were as close to Souls-like beings as anything he had ever come across, making it easier for them to access higher dimensions.
Or perhaps it was because this place was locked off from reality outside, and was not subjected to the same stringent rules of time and space that guarded reality outside of here that it made it easier to see the fabrics of time and space.
He shut off his perception from his children so there would be nothing linking his Ouroboros bloodline to what he was about to do, making the power of his Ascendancy take center stage in his consciousness. This process was easier than before as if it was a reminder that he was now more than just a Creator, but an individual that could remain distinct from his creation if he wanted to. He might have been tied to his children for sustenance before, but now he could easily let them go.
