The Primordial Record

Chapter 1079: Nature Of Continents



These golden giants were strange and Eliaxha found it interesting that in her mind she referred to them as golden giants and not the statues that they were. She stroked her chin, could the giants be alive? Looking down at the seemingly endless rows of giants, she wondered if she was looking at an alien army.

Curious, she tried to yank off a wing from the statue to examine it, but the golden giant collapsed into golden dust. Shaking her head in irritation that despite the frozen state of time, these statues could still possess such peculiar characteristics, she was not too surprised about this change after the door of the temple previously opened despite being under her time-stop ability.

It simply meant that someone was here who could challenge her domain over space-time, which was interesting because she was at the Second Dan, on the verge of becoming a Third. She was a master of Space-Time, and when pushed, she could access powers from the Third Dan, at that state she was invincible. Her heart began to throb with excitement with a clear target in mind, she could not wait to finish investigating this mystery and go back to sleep.

Her body flitted past the miles of corridor, passing extremely long distances that made no sense considering the size of the temple from the outside, by now she had gone past more than a billion golden giants and there seemed to be no end in sight. With every moment that passed, Eliaxha's frustration increased, if not for her perfect memory that assured her that the passageway was not looped and every golden giant she had passed by was unique, she would have suspected foul play,

"I am the wrong person to play these games with," the Temple Mother growled and clawed at space and her surroundings began to zoom past her at blistering speeds, and she stood still and watched everything go past, after a while when more than a hundred billion golden statues had gone by and still no end in sight, the Temple Mother yawned and surprisingly fell asleep.

It was unknown how long she slept, but Eliaxha opened her eyes to find herself in a small clearing underneath an alien sky, and before her, was a woman sitting and staring at three pieces of burning logs. The Temple Mother looked around her and noticed there were two empty chairs, and she proceeded to sit on one of them while staring at the woman who was looking at the burning flames, she recognized her target at a glance,

"If the flames can still burn under my domain, why do you remain silent, Nyla, or should I call you, Redeemer? I heard of your ascent to a Temple Matron in less than five thousand years, and at first, I was glad that a new star had arisen from our number, but you are nothing but tainted."

Eliaxha spat at the still figure of Nyla, "Do you have nothing to say for yourself before I take your head?"

Nyla who remained still spoke, but her voice strangely did not come from her body, it came from the burning flame,

"I do not speak because there is still someone else missing in this gathering."

"Oh, how curious," Eliaxha turned to the last chair, "I would assume you mean this missing person? Who could be so bold to challenge the Ascendant at this time? Carrions all hoping to feed on dead flesh should wait until their mark has fallen, greed would be their undoing. Fallen Matron, who is it that we wait for?"

Nyla smiled, an eerie light in her eyes, "My master... My creator."

Eliaxha went silent for a while before she smiled back wolfishly, "I can't wait to meet them. Wake me up when they arrive."

It took Rowan three years after the battle against the Divine Ascendant to get to his destination, which was the origin continent of the Blood Bound. He had crossed countless continents on his way here and although he had not rushed his trip, there were many things to think about, and he needed the time to order his thoughts, the land was vast and three years was what he needed to cross it.

All through his travels, he had taken the shape of an arrow until he reached the continent of his choice, and reconstituting his body, he looked down at the continent below, and what a strange continent it was, yet so familiar, a part of himself that was taken from him... his corpse.

It was a land that resembled the coils of a gigantic snake, each scale was a dozen miles across and there were millions of these scales creating a truly gigantic continent that staggered the imagination, along the cracks that separated each scale were spewing lava, painting this land into a hellish landscape.

This land was unlike any that could be found in this realm, and was the birthplace of the Blood Bound, Rowan had come here to collect all the broken portion of his consciousness, because this land was special. To become an Ascendant he would not be using a random continent, but one that was born of his flesh.

Continents were not equal and were ranked in this realm, divided into two large sectors called the Lower or Mortal Continents, and the Upper or Higher Continents.

Within the lower or mortal continents were three levels: New, Rising, and Central. In the Higher Continents, there were also three ranks, Ascended, Ancient, and Primal.

New Continents were born at every moment, arising from the endless ocean, and in a short time it would spawn mortal creatures, and the circle of Ascendancy and Calamity would begin, and when a Deific Ranked Explorer merges with these New Continents, it evolves into a Rising Continent, if the Explorer could become an Ascendant, the Continent would evolve to its final state and become a Central Continent.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

At this point, an Ascendant would begin to pursue the Dan, and after gaining mastery in it, they could fight through the threshold that separated the lower continents from the heavens, and if they succeeded, their continent, hence their Natal Treaures would evolve to become an Ascended Continent.

From this point, it was yet unknown the requirement needed for a Continent to reach the Ancient and finally the Primal Rank.
