The forbidden method of consuming the Territories of others entered his thoughts but he quickly rejected that idea. If he had not seen a rare evolution in his bloodline, then he would have seriously considered this option.
Surely if he could consume every single Dominator's Territory and the Divine Kingdom of every god he came across, then he would quickly fill up his Mental Space with the Primordial Sea of Darkness.
This idea was feasible, but it was flawed. He was only able to evolve his bloodline to this level because he depended primarily on Soul Energy.
Applying any form of outside energy would most likely pollute the flawless energy streams inside his body.
In the same manner that the bloodline Avatar of Eve came about, as a matter of fact, this bloodline was a result of unintended Mutation.
He had pulled power from the face of the goddess in his mental space and was connected to the Primordial Darkness, that darkness had fused with his Soul Reaver bloodline and created a foreign power that led to a variant bloodline.
In a manner of speaking the fact that his bloodline had evolved past the Avatar of Eve, was a telling fact that he had expelled most of the corruption that arose from him merging the darkness with his Soul Seizer Bloodline.
The clear divide between the Primordial Sea of Darkness and his present bloodline appears to reject and cleanse every fruit of his previous bloodline like the Angels of Char. This meant that the evolution to a Primordial Bloodline required a pure bloodline source.
Rowan could easily guess that Sheol was a Primordial Bloodline that birthed his Soul Reaver and Soul Seizer bloodline, and he was presently evolving towards that state.
Yet he still noticed the link between this present bloodline and his Palace of Ice, after all, they were both bloodlines that resembled each other. Perhaps it was the Palace of Ice that served as a foundation for him to be able to evolve into this bloodline.
Although this corruption turned out to be profitable, not all of them would be like this, and Rowan was determined to keep his bloodlines pure. It was desperation that made him corrupt his bloodline previously, and he would not make that same gamble again.
Then that meant the only way he could rapidly increase his powers was to create more Angels, and seed worlds and hunt down godly beings, all these would create a positive feedback loop that would ultimately feed him more Soul Energy in the long run.
Also, he did not forget the primary reason he was searching through this desolate area of the universe… that world with the Red Moon. That world seemed to be a graveyard where many powerful beings had died and many still remained.
He did not know how much Soul Energy he would be able to harvest from that world but it would be a lot, at the least, it should be a hundred thousand Soul Crystals.
