After two hundred thousand years of experimentation and striving, it was enough for Revah to determine that this treasure she had found was the opportunity granted by the highest heavens to push her to the peak of Reality, with it, she could become an Old One.
No longer hesitating, Revah Endirius crafted a dimensional ship that resembled the treasure she had found. This was to deceive others about its actual status.
With the real treasure, she began merging it with her Magus Tower. Revah determined that using this treasure in any other way was a waste, and only by integrating it with her Magus Tower would it become truly her own.
This merger went more smoothly than she had ever anticipated. Her Magus Tower had already reached its limits, and Revah was simply gambling on the fact that the advancement given to her by the potion might allow her Magus Tower a chance to merge with some of this unknown treasure.
The process took hundreds of thousands of years to complete, and her power never stopped increasing during that time. She was glad that she had decided to merge this treasure with her Magus Tower; now, it would never run out, and her enhanced comprehension talent would become permanent.
The wisdom born of great age made Revah hide this fact from everyone, including her great ancestor, the Supreme Magus Endirius, because she knew her status would directly challenge his reign.
Her Ancestor did not look favorably on challenges to his power. Other magi may not be aware of the depths of cruelty possessed by Endirius, but she was in his line, and the stories they told about him were nowhere near the level of cruelty he possessed.
Revah returned to the Magus World less frequently as time passed and her powers increased. The flames of ambition in her heart had become lit, and she would return the day she reached the level of Supreme Magus. This fact almost seemed inevitable with the rate of her growth.
That day came much quicker than she expected.
After Revan fully merged with the mysterious stone statue, a few thousand years went by, and she smoothly became an Old One. Her Tribulations, done far away from the Supreme World of Magus, shook Reality as an Old One was born, yet the knowledge she had acquired over the years allowed her to create a separate dimension that covered the eruption of her ascension; otherwise, the entirety of Reality would have known about the birth of an Old One.
Even with the expectation of her inevitable ascension, Revah felt immense shock in her heart. For a while, she stayed in isolation, mastering herself and her new powers over Destiny. When the preparation she had made was complete, Revah headed back to the Supreme Magus World, ambitions burning in her heart, but even as an Old One, she was unaware of the golden eyes in the depths of her soul.
