Old Man Seed may have appeared to give him a lot of information but most of them had been of surface value and Rowan had not visited any of the Branches before he was pushed towards an inevitable confrontation with Fate when he was tossed into the Memory of Primordial Life.
There had not been much for him to learn or personally observe in the Land of Miracle and Rowan believed it was deliberate.
With what he had learned from observing Seed, Rowan knew that without falling under his control, this sneaky old man would not allow him any advantages, no matter how slight.
He might look brash on the surface, but Seed had always been an enigma wrapped in a mystery, but it no longer mattered what sort of being he was, he had placed himself firmly on Rowan's radar, and that meant that Rowan would be dismantling the man to his core.
Rowan liked Seed, he was charming and his brashness was a welcomed addition to a world that feared his presence, but he had killed his friend, and for that, he would pay dearly.
The inhabitants of the Land of Miracles before the destruction of the Frozen Road did not venture out of reality as much, most of their presence had been kept inside the Eldar Branch since the dawn of the Supreme Era, but now their tendrils had begun to reach across reality, and in the map, Rowan saw a green mist emerging from the massive tree that was swallowing the dimensions around them, its reach did not equal to those of the Celestial but it was quickly growing.
Such quick responses to the destruction of the Frozen Road were all the evidence Rowan needed to confirm that indeed, the Primordial Domains had been waiting for such an event to happen because it was impossible for such rapid proliferation of forces into Reality without much planning going into it.
There was an opportunity here, and Rowan would not be missing it.
On his map, if the Celestial Domain was 'North' then the Land of Miracles was 'South.' there seemed to be a subtle sense of balance between these two forces as they strived to devour everything around them.
Rowan's gaze shifted once more after a few moments observing the movements of both Primordial Forces and he turned towards the 'East' to the Inheritance Ground, the Domain of Primordial Chaos.
Instantly he could see the difference between this domain and the first two that he observed.
