The Title of World Bearer granted to him by the World Stele gave Rowan the ability to reach outside of Reality and steal a foundation that could be used to stabilize the dimension of an immortal inside of Reality.
Without being a World Bearer, an immortal who wishes to place their dimension upon Reality would have to do that on the power of their Essence and Aether alone, and no matter how powerful they were, this sort of consumption was not sustainable in the long run.
Rowan did not know if other immortals knew the truth about what the power of a World Bearer granted to them by the Singularity truly was. They believed that the foundation of their dimension came from the Nothingness, and the power that held up their domain was some mysterious force that no immortal could comprehend.
After seeing Limbo, Rowan became aware that this so-called foundation was a connection to a place outside Reality because Nothingness and Reality were the same place, two sides of a single coin.
No immortal could place their dimension upon Reality because an essential part of Reality, its Essence, now known as Primordial Essence, had been seized by all the Primordials dwelling within Reality, and so there was no longer any spot for a new dimension.
This foundation was simply Essence, and whatever place outside of Reality still contained this Essence, which was more than enough for every dimension cropping up since the dawn of the Supreme Era to collect and refine for their purpose.
Of course, Rowan believed that the Primordials allowed this proliferation of new dimensions inside of Reality to happen so that they could gain more Essence when the time was ripe, and the crux of his plan hinges on this factor.
However, the World Stele gave this authority to immortals, and no matter how vast their foundations were, compared to Rowan, who was a dimension, they were ants.
Rowan, calling upon the Title of World Bearer, knew that the changes would shake all of Reality; he was counting upon it. Although he had seen the future, he was presently living it. He still gained more than he bargained for.

Rowan was familiar with the operation of a Singularity; he had lived with one for millions of years, and the power of the World Stele, although strange, was still familiar.
Triggering the Title of World Bearer, he felt the power of authority granted by the World Stele begin to rise around his consciousness like a storm.
Rowan observed it for a while, peering deep into its mysteries, but after reaching a certain point he could no longer see more, and as much as he would love to delve into the mysteries of this authority, too much was riding on it for any mistakes to happen and so he let it go.
This unknown Authority spread out from him, and upon touching the Origin Land, it was repelled, and even after trying dozens of times, it was unable to take root upon Rowan's Origin Land.
The Authority was stubborn, and Rowan felt a large burst of power appear out of thin air. This burst enhanced the Authority's power until it was hundreds of times more potent. Then, it surged towards the earth, causing a thunderous crack that echoed for many light years.
Rowan was unaware that inside the Nothingness, the World Stele, which was slowly on the path of recovery, even more quickly than Rowan expected, suffered a massive blow at this time.
The foundations of this Singularity were greater than Rowan expected, as it did not channel all the dimensions gathered into Doom Star alone; a lot of it was spent on bolstering its abilities for it to have the power to pierce outside Reality with enough frequency to satisfy all the immortals that craved its gifts.
