The Primordial Record novel Chapter 1142

Chapter 1142: The First

The greenish and childish face of Labaletai stuck on the door went pale as he thought he recognized the serpents emerging through the tear in space, but their numbers were wrong, if he was correct Rowan should not have more than six of these serpents, but in a matter of moments the serpents that emerged from the crack had reached millions, and more were gushing forth, all of them Ouroboros Serpents.

This was not Rowan, the Chaos Door swore to himself, there was no way he could become this powerful in such a short time. If he was then reality itself had gone mad, and everything he had thought about that enigmatic character was far off.

The breath of power that arose from all these serpents was so devastating, that nearly ninety percent of the entire Chaos Blood collapsed to the ground and they could only remain conscious because they had bound themselves to this place, of course, these were all Chaos Blood under the level of Will. Those who were on a higher dimensional level only raised their guard and looked grim because the sheer power that was emerging from the space crack was alarming.

None of the Ouroboros Serpents here had reached the level of Will, but they all had special abilities that extremely few members of the Chaos Blood shared, and that was the power of the physical bodies could be taken to ridiculous heights over a long period of time.

Labaletai knew that there was a limit to these growths, but that limit was so distant it would make every Ouroboros Serpent a force to deal with in their own right, even those of them below the level of Will, and to make matters worse, clustered among them were Ouroboros Serpents that were in a higher dimensional level.

He nearly swore aloud when he saw a fifth dimensional level Ouroboros Serpent King, and Labaletai knew that if he was to fight with this creature he would lose, and unless the Serpent King got bored with hunting his avatar over eternity, the Chaos Door would have to find ways to appease this creature.

Cultivation could be roughly divided into two large steps. The Supreme circles as the first step, and will power, i.e. Higher dimensions as the other. Completing the Supreme Circle would make one immortal in the sense that one could not die of natural causes like sickness or starvation and they would never age, but at the end of a Minor Era, which was usually a billion trillion years, all immortals in the Supreme Circle would perish with it.

The only way to gain true immortality where your end would only come about if you were killed by a higher power was to gain the power of Will and have control over the domain of Time, and if you could not gain the power of Will, you had to merge your soul with a higher dimension.

To gain admittance into the Inheritance Ground, one of the criteria was to have completed the Supreme Circle, and for every Chaos Blood, reaching this level of power was very easy, although to gain the power of Will became difficult especially for those who gained power with the aid of their bloodline, and if one was unlucky to not gain any special talent during their bloodline advancement, they would be stuck as a Minor Immortal until the end of a Minor Era where they would perish, except they agreed to bond their souls to the dimension of a higher level Chaos Blood who was a World Bearer.

It was not expressly stated but no Chaos Blood was expected to merge their souls to a strange dimension except those that were related to Chaos.

Every Will Holder that controls a higher dimension had the ability to manifest that dimension in reality, but the cost of doing such a thing was ridiculously expensive in Aetherium and Essence, the only higher dimensional Will Holders who could manifest their dimension into reality without suffering the consequences were World Bearer, and this was a Title that could only be given by the World Stele, a Singularity.

This Title made it possible for a willholder to root their dimension inside the Nothingness that comprised everything outside known reality.
