The Primordial Record novel Chapter 1238

Chapter 1238: Origin Of Ascendancy

Ascendant Sun Trelmol spoke in whispers as if scared that his voice would travel beyond his company,

"At that time I was not focused on such a small news that involved less than ten minor Ascendants who had not even reached the first Dan, and the only thing that drew my attention was that the Undying seemed to have made an appearance to solve such a minor problem, of course, no one in the Council told me the reason for it or what he achieved that day, nevertheless, looking back now, it is unmistakable that whatever took place that day led to the state of our realm at the present and now we know that this is not the first time this has happened."

"Then let us finish it here," Dilos growled, before he softly continued, "If we are able to. These secrets that have bound our past, it feels greater than us, it is... heavy, but we owe it to our fellow fallen Suns to find the truth, and if we can, change the past."

For an Ascendant Sun who was considered invincible and omnipotent all through most of his existence, it was a tough pill to swallow when the frailty of their existence was pushed to the surface.

Knowing that their existence at the top was all a mirage, and seeing for the first time how deep the sea could go when they had always played at its beach was a humbling process that Dilos was sure that he did not like, not a single bit.

A few hundred miles from the crash, they began to see the effects of its landing, for all the trees in the surroundings had been bent to the side as the earth holding their roots was shaken, and they could see a certain golden glow from the distance and both of them began moving more carefully, prioritizing stealth over speed.

A feeling of dread took over their senses and it was the only warning that they got before both Ascendant Suns simultaneously stumbled as a wave passed through them, and a silent battle began taking place in their bodies as it seemed to fade in and out of reality, this continued for a few seconds before it eased, and they both collapsed to the ground.

They looked at each other with hints of despair in their eyes, what had just happened was that a pulling force had nearly wrenched them away from this time period back to the present. The past was beginning to reject them, whatever power that had brought them here was fading and everything was going back to the way that it was.

If they previously thought that they had enough time to change the past to affect great changes in the future, that dream was suddenly fleeing away from their grasp. It took nearly everything they had to maintain themselves in this time period, and it was unknown if they would be able to resist more of that wave when it returned.

There was no Aura of Ascendancy in the environment that they could pull on for sustenance, and if not for their impressive stores of power in their bodies, they would have been drawn to the present. They were both running out of time.

Drawing strength from each other, the two Ascendant Suns began moving faster, knowing that they could not stealthily approach this site like they initially planned, they stopped when they were a few miles away and after witnessing what was in front of them, they were a bit confused.

The massive stone egg should have weighed an impressive amount, and with the force of its descent it should have destroyed a greater portion of the land, but the damage around its crash site was minimal, any changes to the surrounding area were because of the powerful winds that its descent had brought with it.
