Before now, one of the greatest motivations for the Ouroboros Serpents was hunger which was endless and eternal, they were fierce predators who sought out battle and destruction to sate their endless appetites, and for a long time, this made them extremely dangerous, so much so that Rowan hardly used them in battle, preferring to use the serpents tactically, because he feared that if he allowed them to indulge in their nature, then reining them in after every slaughter would increasingly get more difficult.
This new connection with the Origin Land had finally broken their state of endless hunger, but this did not make them less dangerous. A new instinct arose inside these serpents, and it was one of protection; nothing would destroy their source of sustenance.
After breaking their Fate of endless hunger, there would be nothing these serpents would not do to protect their father, and the new Essence created by them represented their intense desire to protect Rowan.
It was not only the fact that his new bloodlines were now rooted in a more powerful source like his Origin Land or that they were now at the sixth dimension, there were more mysteries behind their powers, and Rowan's consciousness vibrated with the sheer potential he could feel from this new Essence, but his last two pillars, not made from Essence did not lose to these six in any way.
The seventh pillar of power was greenish white and came from Serathis, and the last was purple and came from Chronomancer Prime.
A shadow of these two Avatars dwelled in the center of their pillars of power, and Rowan could see Serathis dancing inside her pillar of power as she was visibly growing from a child into a teenager, Rowan knew that when she reached the height of her youth, she would stop aging and only her strength would keep increasing.
In the background was a tiny sapling, a tree slowly growing alongside Serathis. Rowan's consciousness shook when he noticed that this sapling was similar to his Tree of Desire. It was not the same, but it could be seen as a descendant of that tree. Serathis had done the impossible and brought back a piece of Rowan's heart.
Chronomancer Prime sat cross-legged inside his pillar of power in the shadow of a massive hourglass. His eyes were closed in meditation, and countless arcane runes emerged from around the young boy who was rapidly growing to be a man, even faster than Serathis. It would seem this Avatar did not want to remain a child for long.
These runes being weaved by the Avatar were spells, profound and powerful, and Rowan could not fully decipher their usage at a glance. Still, he knew they were all being made for him, and in the time of need during battle, he would not need to spend any time casting spells when there were a bunch of ready-made spells available for him to summon.
Chronomancer Prime may be silent, but this does not make him any less deadly than Serathis or the serpents. He was just content to work in the background, and Rowan acknowledged his hard work and perseverance.
Unlike his Essence, his new Aether was almost ephemeral. If not for the massive quantities of it being pumped out of the earth, it would be invisible. However, when Rowan's consciousness came in contact with this new Aether, he was shocked to discover that its state of existence was extremely different from Aether. It was almost the opposite, as if what Rowan was touching with his consciousness was anti-energy yet still possessed all the traits of energy.
