The Primordial Record novel Chapter 1228

Chapter 1228: Is This Selfish?

The Eye of Time mumbled, "Why am I here? What did you do to me?"

"Me? Nothing..." Rowan laughed, "My main body on the other hand was faced with a dilemma when it came to you. You see he had many troubles in his mind, so many troubles that you would not believe, no, I think more than anyone else, you should understand his mindset and the fear inside them. He is playing the game of dominion not against immortals or gods, but against the beings who created immortals and gods, the apex of creation itself that exceeds creation, and he wants to win against them... can you believe that? He did not just want the fight, he also wanted to triumph over the Primordials and to do that, he needs you to break!"

Immense power radiated from the Eye of Time, a power that would make immortals go insane with fear, "How dare you? What arrogance would make you think, you can break me?"

Rowan was silent and he gestured at the sky, "I would keep your voice down if I were you, do you want to hear the truth or do you want it to end quickly? Pointing upwards, "he does not have the patience for that sort of thing."

The emanation of power from the Eye of Time died down and Rowan nodded, "I don't think he can break you... at least, that was what I thought before, but as I see now, he has already succeeded. Look at you. Your invincible shell has been broken by your own hand as you sought to devour me, a mere Reflection. So tell me where is the arrogance? He played you like a fiddle."

The Eye of Time sneered, "So, you are here to gloat?"

"A little bit," Rowan smiled, "but mostly I just wanted to talk."

"Talk? About what?"

"Anything, everything... I am extremely young by the time scale of reality, nothing but an infant. I have been alive for a million years, yet I was only awake for a fraction of that time. I am not like my main body which has been awake and learning all this while, and so I am still naturally curious about everything you can tell me?"

The Eye of Time looked at him curiously,

"Why would you like to know something like that? If you are a Reflection, everything of you would soon be swallowed by your main body. There is no reason to learn anything because nothing you earn is yours."

Rowan shook his head, "You are right and also wrong, I am going back to become part of him once again, true, but in the time I am me, I still have my individuality and I want to know about the Eye of Time, separate from everything that is known about you, this is my way, to acknowledge my enemy... to honor them, it is the thing that makes me unique, different from him, aside my soul."

"Why would I want honor from the dead? I am here to plunder the fruit that is rightfully mine, not here your inane chatter about honor."

"Ah, for a moment I have forgotten who you are," Rowan shook his head sorrowfully, "I guess my muse would go unanswered."

The Eye of Time suddenly jerked as if something had crawled across its spine and it looked upward, but there was no longer a sky, but a massive vortex that filled the entire sky, and emerging from this vortex was a wide blue road.

There was a thump, and its body shivered, it could not help it, then another thump, and another, almost as if he was hearing the sound of a massive footstep.
