The Primordial Record

Chapter 1238: Origin Of Ascendancy



Ascendant Sun Trelmol spoke in whispers as if scared that his voice would travel beyond his company,

"At that time I was not focused on such a small news that involved less than ten minor Ascendants who had not even reached the first Dan, and the only thing that drew my attention was that the Undying seemed to have made an appearance to solve such a minor problem, of course, no one in the Council told me the reason for it or what he achieved that day, nevertheless, looking back now, it is unmistakable that whatever took place that day led to the state of our realm at the present and now we know that this is not the first time this has happened."

"Then let us finish it here," Dilos growled, before he softly continued, "If we are able to. These secrets that have bound our past, it feels greater than us, it is... heavy, but we owe it to our fellow fallen Suns to find the truth, and if we can, change the past."

For an Ascendant Sun who was considered invincible and omnipotent all through most of his existence, it was a tough pill to swallow when the frailty of their existence was pushed to the surface.

Knowing that their existence at the top was all a mirage, and seeing for the first time how deep the sea could go when they had always played at its beach was a humbling process that Dilos was sure that he did not like, not a single bit.

A few hundred miles from the crash, they began to see the effects of its landing, for all the trees in the surroundings had been bent to the side as the earth holding their roots was shaken, and they could see a certain golden glow from the distance and both of them began moving more carefully, prioritizing stealth over speed.

A feeling of dread took over their senses and it was the only warning that they got before both Ascendant Suns simultaneously stumbled as a wave passed through them, and a silent battle began taking place in their bodies as it seemed to fade in and out of reality, this continued for a few seconds before it eased, and they both collapsed to the ground.

They looked at each other with hints of despair in their eyes, what had just happened was that a pulling force had nearly wrenched them away from this time period back to the present. The past was beginning to reject them, whatever power that had brought them here was fading and everything was going back to the way that it was.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

If they previously thought that they had enough time to change the past to affect great changes in the future, that dream was suddenly fleeing away from their grasp. It took nearly everything they had to maintain themselves in this time period, and it was unknown if they would be able to resist more of that wave when it returned.

There was no Aura of Ascendancy in the environment that they could pull on for sustenance, and if not for their impressive stores of power in their bodies, they would have been drawn to the present. They were both running out of time.

Drawing strength from each other, the two Ascendant Suns began moving faster, knowing that they could not stealthily approach this site like they initially planned, they stopped when they were a few miles away and after witnessing what was in front of them, they were a bit confused.

The massive stone egg should have weighed an impressive amount, and with the force of its descent it should have destroyed a greater portion of the land, but the damage around its crash site was minimal, any changes to the surrounding area were because of the powerful winds that its descent had brought with it.

At this point the massive stone egg had cracked open in the middle, and within was a golden soup like the yolk of a celestial egg whose light could be seen for miles around, and standing in front of this open egg were nine figures.

Of the nine, eight were in brown robes that covered their entire body and they were on their knees as if in worship, and the last was hovering in the air, and he would have been naked if not for the remnant of that golden soup that was inside the egg clinging to his body like a skin-tight suit.

Looking at this scene it was apparent that these eight figures should have been waiting for the last individual to arrive because, on closer look at the robes they were wearing, the Ascendant Suns noticed they had been weaved from the leaves of the Ent, and the breath emerging from these robes, they had been worn for an extremely long time.

Another wave of expulsion erupted around the two Ascendant Suns, far greater than before and they disregarded any attempt at stealth as they struggled to remain here in the past, what they were witnessing was too monumental and they needed to understand because they feared that returning to the present was a one-way ticket to death, and if they were going to die in the next few moments the last thing they wanted to know was the truth.

The wave passed and the two Ascendants nearly wept in relief, but sensing something was different they looked up only to see that the nine figures ahead were looking at them, and of the eight that were once kneeling they had returned to their feet, their bodies emitting an intense baleful Aura that could freeze the mind of whoever was looking at them, and what was alarming was that although they had humanoid bodies, their heads were those of serpents.

In front of their chest were eight matching stone steeles that rotated around, and what was especially compelling that made the Ascendant Suns nearly scream out in shock was the fact that within the stone Steele was a powerful source of Ascendant Aura.

In fact, what they were sensing within was so potent it made the Aura within their bodies seem like dirt before gold, it was like they were looking at the source of their existence and they were stunned.

"I told you all to be patient and that the future would come to us."

The last figure who was hovering in the air smiled at them, his features as beautiful as sunrise and Dilos felt a rummaging hand enter their bodies and begin rooting around, what was astonishing was that their bodies did not reject the touch, it was almost familiar and a wave of understanding was growing in their minds when the expulsion force seized them and sent them into the present.

They thought they heard a sigh of regret and a voice saying, "This would have to be enough, after the ninth time, I should have everything that I need."

The Ascendant Sun was pulled through the cracks of reality, skipping over and then through space, time, and other strange dimensions that had no meaning in words that could describe them, and they were propelled into the present...

They were propelled into war and madness, and these two Ascendant Suns, despite their powers, nearly died barely ten seconds after they had arrived.
