The Primordial Record

Chapter 1893: Cleansing Reality (Final)

There was one constant in Eos’s life, the one thing he counted on to push him beyond the limits, over and over again. From the moment he awakened on Trion to fighting Primordials, the most extreme of ninth-dimensional entities, and that constant was the Primordial Record.

If anyone had asked him anytime in the past, the one thing that would remain with him forever would be the Primordial Record, this little black book that gave him the space to fight for his destiny.

However, Eos could no longer deny the fact that something was wrong with this Singularity, and as much as he wanted to believe that it belonged to him alone, the past events had shown him that he was mistaken.

There had been multiple times in the past when Eos doubted the Primordial Record. They were all for good reasons. For one, he did not understand the true meaning of a Singularity until he reached the eighth-dimensional level. Even his knowledge had gaps, due to the fact that the most significant amount of truths he knew about Singularities came from Eosah, and she was a pawn of the Primordials.

Although it was the truth that the Primordials could not simply lie to him for the fear of him discovering the truth, they perhaps did not need to do this… not when they had a greater advantage than he did.

The one question that bugged Eos so greatly was how the Primordials, specifically Primordial Soul, were able to anticipate so much of his tactics and moves ahead. It should be noted that Rowan went through thousands of paths critically before he took any path, and no one should be able to anticipate what he was about to do next.

However, he failed to put one constant in all his decision-making process, and that was his present ability. A chef could not prepare a feast without ingredients, and anything he could whip up depended on what he had to work with. No one would expect a vegetarian meal when the only ingredients in the kitchen were beef.

The ability for Eos to make a decision depended on his present capabilities, and that had been the case for every moment of his life. When he was a mortal and a Dominator, it was the abilities he had that shifted his perspective, and the same perspective applied to every tool he had available to him.

For a long time, Eos had been looking for a method to reach the ninth dimension and weaken the main bodies of the Primordial. When he gained the power of his Final Form, he kept this as one of his options, and only when he felt it was the right time to use this option did he unleash it… But here was the problem: it seemed as if everyone knew he was going to take that option!

As a Dominator, then a god, and before he became a living dimension, Eos’s main enemy was the Third Prince, and one of the reasons that the Third Prince had been so dangerous to him was the fact that by brainwashing Rowan as a broken soul, he was able to use his hand to access the Primordial Record and tear off a couple of its pages.

The Third Prince was not able to directly control the Primordial Record using these pages, but he was able to weaken Rowan’s potential for long enough, and also used the latent energies surrounding the pages he held to make changes across the universe.

With these pages, the Third Prince became more than his normal sort of enemy, and Eos had gone to extreme measures to regain the pages of his Singularity. This struggle with the Third Prince defined his life and shaped Rowan into Eos.

Now that Eos stood at his present height and was able to look down into the lower dimensions with ease. Now that he knew the Primordials had taken the time to visit other Realities in the past and observe various heroes, studying them and manipulating them into various terrible situations to judge and predict the actions of individuals like this accurately, the answer was clear to him.

Even the Primordial Record had revealed to Eos that he was not its first user. This unique Singularity had been passed from one hero to the next, and all of them had fallen. They had all stood against the tyranny of the Primordials, and they had all failed.

Eos had been in the midst of evolving at that point, and he had finished battling against the infiltration of Enoch. Maybe it was the reason that he had not asked this critical question: how did the Primordial Record get to those heroes in all of these different Realities?

In the visions he had seen of the past users of the Primordial Record, their central enemies had always been the Primordials, and although on the surface, this might seem as if the Primordial Record was the one force of good that was fighting against the Primordials and defying the inherent core of a Singularity that perished alongside their first user or it was something more… sinister.

Was it a coincidence that the Primordial Record could be found in all these Realities that were being devastated by the Primordials? Eos previously had no reason to believe that should be the case; there were a lot of Realities in Limbo, and the Primordials had spent a lot of time killing Realities to the extent that there were no known Realities outside the Cradle of Enoch.

However, Eos knew with the presence of Eosah, a young Reality born outside the Cradle of Enoch, that it was not true that Realities could only be born inside the Cradle; the Primordials must have found a way to make it possible, or the most likely suspect was Enoch… If this mysterious being was the owner of the Cradle, then it was possible that he would be able to spawn Realities outside its boundary.

After all, Eos was aware that Eosah’s name was recorded in the Cosmic Record, meaning she was able to be born because of some essential injection of power from the Cradle that gave her the ability to root herself inside Limbo.

With all of this in mind, Eos could begin to bring all of these clues together and realize that if the Third Prince, a relatively minor threat, could tear the pages of the Singularity in order to influence his decision, how could he believe that the Primordials, the true creators of the Third Prince, could not do much worse?

Perhaps he had underrated the Third Prince in the past to think of him as a minor character, as not long ago, he had confronted Primordial Time and had seen the Third Prince, who revealed himself to be the personification of Evil, and the only being that Rowan could tag with the term Evil was Enoch and the Primordials.

What if the contents of the Primordial Record were never as secure as he thought? Maybe the Primordials could not overtly influence what might emerge from the page, but they could push Rowan in the right direction in order to awaken certain abilities.

It was important to note that the abilities that the Primordial Record was manifesting did not come from thin air, and in order to merge with a Singularity, an individual needed to be extremely special.

If every single ability he had awakened was once possessed by other heroes in the past, heroes whose potential reached the Primordial level, and if the Primordial Record was a storehouse of all of those bloodlines and abilities that had reached the Primordial Level, and if the Primordials could use this Singularity and bestow it to an individual they could control, then they could get rid of their greatest weakness.

Eos now believed the secret had always been right in front of him, and he was too blind to see it. The owners of the Primordial Record were the Primordials!

If Eos were able to, he would be sweating in fear as he came to another realization about the Primordial Record.

Apart from their endless hunger, what was the greatest weakness of the Primordials? The answer was simple: they could have access only to a single Origin Force, and every time they slaughtered a Reality, the rest of those Origin Forces were wasted. But was it?

The Primordial Record seemingly had access to every bloodline in existence, every single Origin Force could be conceptualized and brought to life… its potential seemed to be infinite… It seemed to be everything that the Primordials desired to be.

It had given Rowan the ability to wield multiple Wills and Origin Forces, given him such a great advantage that if he compared what he had gained with the Primordial Record with another Singularity like the World Stele, the difference was night and day.

What if all the Origin Forces from every dead Reality did not escape into Limbo? What if they had all been gathered inside the Primordial Record?

If this were the case, that meant in all of Limbo, the only Origin Force that the Primordial Record did not control was the Origin Force of Death due to the existence of the BEast of Final Rest!

The Primordials upon awakening did not try to kill him or collect his Singularity, instead they had headed directly towards the Realm of Death, almost as if…
