The Primordial Record novel Chapter 1197

Chapter 1197: Leveling The Board

In the realm of time that higher dimensional beings played with, a second could be as long as years, and Rowan in these short seconds had shattered the body of the Eye, tens of thousands of times, and in all that time, the Eye had never ceased its attempts to communicate with him, but Rowan seemed to have become possessed, shattering the mortal shell of the Eye of Time, over and over again, even though this act seemed to be costing him, but if there was one thing that Rowan had never lacked, it was energy, he could do this forever.

His actions were not reckless, they only served to pursue his agenda, and with Rowan's character, he had reviewed these next series of events carefully before acting on them. Rowan would always do this if he was given the opportunity to deliberate on any issue, and it would always be a mistake to give him more time to clear his mind, the Eye of Time had made a costly mistake.

When he began shattering the body of the Eye using the Will-based attack of Shisu as a primer, the Eye of Time had been surprised at first before it became annoyed at the ceaseless destruction of its shell as its rage was drawing pearls of thunder from the sky and the space around was beginning to distort under its unreasonable rage, but Rowan knew this was all an act, because the Eye should be very clear about Rowan's character before now, and it would expect this outcome as one of the many directions he was going to take, after all, it had been leading Rowan down this road.

The Eye of Time would have most likely drawn out various outcomes for this confrontation with Rowan, and the challenge that Rowan had to win against was to ensure he was following one of the set-out paths laid out by the Eye without suspicion while still ensuring that it was still serving his own purpose.

He had used the knowledge of his previous self as a baseline. With his previous temperament and the greed of his Ouroboros bloodline, there was no way in hell Rowan would ever accept such a bargain, and the Eye of Time knew this.

The Anima of the Primordial of Time was an asset so powerful that Rowan would never give it up, even if the Eye promised him a thousand boons. However, with the Eye of Time, there was always another hidden agenda, and that was what had delayed Rowan for so long because he could not make any move without knowing what the Eye was truly after, and he had finally launched his retaliatory plan when he found it, and the answer was truly a surprising one.

R

The search for the answer was rooted in one query, and the question that needed to be asked was why the Eye of Time came to Rowan with this deal when it knew that he would never accept it.

On the surface the answer was easy enough, Rowan thought there were several reasons, the first was obviously to manipulate him with the secrets of the past.

Unlike any normal immortal, Rowan had intrinsic connections with the Primordials and other higher powers that most would search for throughout all their lives but would hardly be able to find scraps. In fact, 99.9999999 percent of every living immortal in existence would never have the chance to touch the issues concerning Primordials and the ancient Eras, but everything about Rowan was firmly tied up with these enigmatic and powerful entities.

He thirsted for the knowledge of the past, because only then could the mysteries that worried him could be solved, and the direction for his future unveiled. The Eye knew that if it wanted to influence Rowan, this hidden knowledge was its best bet.
