The Primordial Record - Chapter 1509

Chapter 1509: The Primordial Domains (4)
This star was the gate to the Domain of Primordial Memory, and with its appearance, vast, thin steams of yellow Aura shot out from the star. Each Aura stream was like a thread that was spread across all of Reality, from the higher realms to the lower realms, creating a massive web that shook Rowan’s heart. In the instant he saw that web, it mysteriously vanished.

Although the web vanished in an instant, its remnants were embedded in his mind. Still, before Rowan could analyze the depths of this unknown change, that memory began to vanish also, and Rowan’s mind could not grasp onto anything and struggled to hold even fragments of the web he had just seen.

The only consolation that he had was the fact that he was able to remember that there had been a web in the first place, a detail he suspected that only his dimensional state had bought him.

Rowan wanted to curse but he suppressed the emotion of annoyance, it was difficult for him to come to terms with how easily the mere influence of Primordial Memory had been able to reach across into his mind and ripped away the memories of what he had seen.

The force was not the same as the power of Oblivion that simply made one forget but did not necessarily tamper with memories, but this force from Primordial Memory could reach across and claim anything that it wanted, even in a place as sacred as his mind.

Rowan felt that he had to become used to sensations like this, and instead of getting annoyed it panicked at the abilities of Primordials, he should be thinking of countering them.

Immediately it was not hard for him to come up with a countermeasure to the powers of Primordial Memory, it was a rather simple solution in theory but executing it might be tricky.

If Primordial Memory could collect the memory of anything he wanted from the mind, then he could counter this power by keeping a continuous stream of the information that he wanted in his mind always.

So in essence, if Primordial Memory wanted him to forget the web of influence he had spread all over Reality, Rowan could simply keep the image of the web running constantly on his map.

Unlike him, the map has no memory that could be siphoned away, and it did not matter how many times Primordial Memory stole his memories when he could easily look at the map to bring back what he had just lost.

A simple solution that required so many things going right for it to work. If the power of his map could not handle the weight of holding the domains of the Primordials it would be crushed to nothingness, if his mind was not potent enough to handle the influence of a Primordial constantly scrapping through it, then insanity would be a mercy, and so many other unique factors that only Rowan had gave him the ability to counter Primordial Memory.

Sending his intentions of the Arcane arm above him holding the reins that monitored the domain of Primordial Memory, Rowan gave instructions for the web to be revealed again, and he waited, and nothing happened.

Reality shivered and buckled around him as the Arcane arm struggled to resurrect this memory but even though it could touch the web, it kept slipping through its fingers.

This change surprised Rowan, and no matter how much he tried to trigger this manifestation again, it did not appear, only the yellow star slowly rotated over the map, as if it was mocking his efforts.

Rowan did not think that his speculations were incorrect, perhaps it might just need a little more adjustment to make everything work in the way he intended.

Closing his eyes he ran some certain calculations with his consciousness and discovered the reason he could no longer see this web and it turned out that it was because the medium he had used to transmit information from the Great Labyrinth, which was the Domain of Primordial Memory was still too weak.

“So, it comes down to power. Even if I have the lever, without the strength to pull on it, I cannot move this mountain.”

He had sent his child into the Great Labyrinth, but Vraegar was not yet a Labyrinth Specter, although he was well on his way, his fifth-dimensional level and his incomplete merger with the Domain of Primordial Memory meant he could not fully activate the potential of Rowan’s map.

This was a bit frustrating but Rowan knew that his move was made for a long-term duration and it was amazing enough that he had been able to gain so much from Vraegar with the many limitations that his child would have to face while he was inside that Domain, however, he believed that if Vraegar played his cards correctly then this place could turn out to be the greatest opportunity that he would have for the elevation of his powers.

Placing that aside, the brief glimpse that Rowan had seen of the extent of Primordial Memory’s infiltration over reality was alarming, and it would seem that ignoring this Primordial just because of his apparent silence would be a great mistake because he was the one with the greatest hold over Reality!

Watching the seven-pointed star as it slowly revolved, Rowan could not help but frown a bit, but he shook his head and placed the expected challenges he was anticipating when it would come to the moment he would face this elusive Primordial.

Rowan was not looking forward to it, as his intuition was telling him it would be an incredibly dangerous and annoying affair.

The other six ethereal arms of power above the map were still moving, and soon another one grounded to a halt, Rowan watched the Purple Aura of Primordial Time begin to gather and before long, a flickering image of the Bloodline Source of Primordial and Evil appeared beside the seven-pointed star of Primordial Memory.

This was the same image he had seen when he was inside Doom Star when he had unlocked the Bloodline of Time. Rowan’s eyes flickered in thought as he examined what he was looking at, he had made arrangements over the Bloodline Source of Time, but it would seem that he would have to accelerate his plans.
