The Primordial Record

Chapter 1175: Will Of Time



A deep growl came from their throat like a massive beast who had been enraged for time without reckoning,

"The end draws near once more, will you still make the same decision out of your greed and endless craving, or will you free me from my torment?... I have asked this question so many times, and now I no longer care for your answer, your actions and your silence are deafening, I have been blind for so long, and now I am coming for it all, one way or another, this torture must end!"

Carefully placing the eight units of Aetherium aside, Rowan continued with his previous activities before he was interrupted by the surprising addition of a new bloodline to his soul. He had been attempting to form his fourth-dimensional Will.

As amazing as it was to gain a new bloodline that could control Time—and he was still unaware if there was any member of the bloodline of Time left behind-this would be a separate matter he would be focusing on later, for now, he needed to prime his Wills to immediately begin his Ascension to the fourth-dimensional level.

When the time came when he summoned the final portion of his consciousness, there would be intense chaos and battle all through the realm, and that was not the time he should begin seeking out the path for his Will.

If there was anyone who was able to do such a thing in the middle of battle, it would be Rowan, but he would rather be sure all his preparations were complete and smoothly ascend to a higher state than depend on luck, no matter how fiendishly good his luck was. With enough power, even his luck could be crushed.

He now had a new Ascendant Body and it would be a mistake not to take advantage of it. Rowan did not know what would happen to his dimensional flesh once he became a fourth- dimensional being, but he had a shocking idea of what might happen, this did not mean he would have to let himself remain in the third dimension because of fear, instead he would be climbing the dimensional ladder using his Ascendant body left behind in his city of golden giants.

It did not matter which body he used to attain a higher Will level, when the time came for him to ascend his dimensional flesh, he could simply exert the changes he already made with his Will on his Ascendant body and shift them to his dimensional flesh to trigger the ascension to a higher level.

He previously had three bloodlines and three separate Wills, now with the addition of a fourth bloodline, meant he had to acquire a fourth Will to ensure the proper development of this bloodline, and for him, it would not be that difficult, after all, his present soul body was made of Time.

Rowan closed his eyes and relaxed on his throne, sinking into himself as he allowed his body of Time to unravel before his senses. He tried not to control anything, he simply allowed himself to be.

Almost like a deep meditation, his soul senses began to spiral down like a machine that had been running at a previously feverish pace now finally settling down to a morose crawl. He felt lethargic at first and then his perception transformed and he saw himself from the inside out.

His soul was made from Time, and Time was his soul, wrapped around each other like one, they both could exist separately, but when they came together, something beautiful was created, and they became something new, something not Time nor Soul, it was as if it was a newborn whose future could not be determined.

In its normal state, Time flowed one way, its paths could not be diverted or stopped, and it could only be slowed down for a while, but its weight was so ponderous, that no one could hold it bound for long, it would always return to its previous speed without fail. This was the manner that Time behaved in all of reality, inside Rowan's body, the operation of Time had changed.

Instead of flowing one way like Time was supposed to behave, it was broken into many different flows.

Inside his body were mechanisms that appeared like cogs and gears, and they rotated in a pattern unique to them, their speeds of rotation being different from their neighbor, there were precisely 33,000 of these tiny cogs and gears inside his body, all rotating in their unique mystical pattern.

Some of them rotated so slowly it might take millions of years for them to make a single turn, while some moved so rapidly they appeared to be staying still, and their movements whether slow or fast affected the flow of Time around them, as Rowan realized that within him, the flow of Time became meaningless.

When he had acquired the bloodline of Time, on an instinctive level he had understood all of this, like how no one was taught to breathe, but discovering how the process worked was always an enlightening process.

This was the birth of Time and Soul being combined as one could accomplish, and he understood how the Time Stack ability came to be created as his first bloodline power. Only the chaotic time arrangements inside his bloodline could shatter the carefully controlled flow of Time that was applicable in all of reality and made his ridiculous time abilities possible. Rowan knew how incredibly dangerous such a chaotic flow of time could be if it was unleashed outside reality and he thought that perhaps he might have come to the truth about what had happened to Time, and the previously unknown power of Soul.

Before he could delve deeper into the speculation of the past, he felt a stirring in his consciousness as he gained the first level understanding of his bloodline of Time, and the Will of Time was born inside of him.

With his unique status as a dimension, and not just any dimension, he was a dimension that existed in all possible states at the same time. He was a combination of a first, second, and third dimension, which was the realization he had gained when he finally recreated his body and became something never before seen in existence.

His Will of Time did not begin in the fourth dimension, his path was different, he could explore power on a level that others would never enjoy, and his Will of Time was born as a one-dimensional evolving Will.

It was a shame that he could not observe the state of the rest of his Will because they needed his dimensional flesh to be manifested, the Will of Time however, did not depend on his flesh, but his soul and he was able to perfectly observe how his newly birthed Will began to interact with his consciousness.

His control over the dials of time in his eyes became clearer and he began to discern that they were not truly dials and that the cogs and gears inside his soul were something else, but he

needed to go deeper to find out what they were.

So, Rowan went deeper.

Achieving the first-dimensional level for an extremely powerful will like the Will of Time had taken him just a few moments, it was not even up to a second, and he began delving deeper to find the second level.
