The Primordial Record

Jarkarr had no ocean because a few thousand years ago, the Boreas family had sunk all the oceans of the planet, bringing all those waters and the creatures inside of them underground.

All these were done in order to create enough land area for the production of Blue Iron.

Like the Underground Cities, there were only three continents and their names were the same as the cities because the Underground cities were named after the Continent.

Terribly unimaginative! Rowan thought, but he guessed there was little thought placed behind the names, after all the planet was just a resource center for the Boreas family, so the names of the Continent were also Trinad, Mrinah and Krakow.

The Continent they were presently on was Trinad, and it was the smallest of the three Continents. The other two were much bigger, but Rowan had a plan.

With the addition of this new variable brought by the Covenant, Rowan would have to fast track his development, and luckily for him, he had a very lucrative target, the largest continent of the three continents: Krakow.

He was going to destroy the entire Continent.

Rowan had not suddenly gone crazy because of the need to advance, as there was always a reason behind his every action, and the more knowledge he gathered the more refined his tactics became.

In his visions he saw of the shattered universe, there were many spots of interest concerning the planet, including the presence of the massive dragon inside an underground City—The true ruler of the golden beasts. A creature of true madness spawned from his flesh.

This Creature had not only accumulated great power in a short time, it had also taken the entire Continent of Krakow as its own. The only humans left must be suffering an incredible amount of hellish torture, and Rowan could afford to cut loose and unleash his Ouroboros Serpents on that Continent.

He had preserved a seed of their people with him, and he was protecting it. Rowan knew his next actions would be considered evil, but to any humans left on Krakow, death would be a mercy.

In another time, he might have taken his time to slowly rescue every man, woman or… children on the continent. Yet if he followed that route, he would lose, and after understanding the true power of his bloodline he would never allow it to fall into the enemy’s hand or even worse, if he did not upgrade his powers quickly enough, he was going to be swallowed by his bloodline, and by that time, the Universe itself would end.

Rowan was not cold-hearted but pragmatic, and this new bloodline enhanced that nature, and he did not deny its influence. With his present capability, keeping this convoy safe and preserving the lives of its people was all that he could offer to them.

He was not just going to devour every single creature on the Continent, he was also going to consume the entire Continent itself!

It did not matter how small the Energy value of earth or trees were, if he were to consume them on the scale of an entire Continent, then he would gather all the energy he needed.

He planned to consume everything at least 50,000 feet (ca. 15 kilometers) below the ground, which should be enough to activate all his Legendary techniques, but it would not destabilize the planet beyond repair.

At this moment his Ouroboros Serpents had cleared another eight more hordes, netting him 30,850 soul points with 178,000,000 Energy points, he was channeling all the Energy points to the third Ouroboros Serpent as it was the closest to completion.

With their speed and because they moved in a Circular manner, it would take them at least a week to clear out this Continent, after that, they would also clear out the Mrinah Continent, before devouring Krakow in its entirety.

With that timeline, in a month time the end of the Continent of Krakow would begin.

Knowing he was taking a big risk by his actions of exposing his Serpents to the world, Rowan decided to proceed with his actions after factoring in the fact that any actions he took as an Empyrean was now impossible for it to be low-key.

His actions had begun changing reality.

If he moved at the sluggish pace of an average Dominator, he would lose, either against his enemies or his bloodline. He could only walk the fine line between extreme speed and cautiousness.

Yet, he was not altogether careless after taking certain factors into consideration.

Firstly, even if his Serpents were seen in action, except for members of the Order of the Broken Eyes, it was impossible to identify their origins. They would be taken as powerful alien beasts or a powerful shape-shifting Dominator.

He expected news to reach Trion not long after they were sighted, and although he knew he was cutting the timeline tight, he should be able to finish his plans by then. He could simply not afford to go slowly anymore.

Secondly, with his new bloodline, he would have a hidden true trump card that would serve as—The Shadow to his Ouroboros Bloodline—Light.

He aimed to reveal more powers of the Ouroboros Bloodline to the public, while he slowly built an army of Angels, which could perform duties that his Ouroboros bloodline could not aim to achieve.

To achieve that he needed souls, a massive number of Souls.

The Angels were necessary. Chiefly in the area of surveillance, assassinations, protection and many other duties. With this hidden card, he could afford to let loose and bring down all the fury of his Ouroboros bloodline into the Universe at large.

Plus, the nature of the Ouroboros bloodline could only be fully expressed in open battle. They were suited to fight against multiple enemies, and he aimed to keep their most powerful traits hidden from the public eye, which was their capabilities to resurrect after they had been thoroughly destroyed inside the void hearts.

He had just finished upgrading the Avatar of Eve Bloodline to its peak Mortal State, and although there was no change in his physical body. The Palace of Ice had developed new changes.

It was not any bigger than before, maybe it was now more luminous, and there was presently a Courtyard in front of the palace, and instead of the Angels of Char standing with their warped wings unfurled, now they all knelt.

They no longer smiled, but now their expressions were solemn. It was as if the act of him growing his bloodline to the peak Mortal State in a single hour had cowed them.

According to the information from his Bloodline, an Angel of Char had very limited sentience, they were simply a husk awaiting a Divine Spark to kick-start their evolution, and it had to be something really impressive that allowed them to express their loyalty, even if they did not need to.

Rowan was stunned, before he has even begun subduing the Souls of these Angels, their bodies were already submitting to him.

The pressure escaping from the Palace of Ice had increased, and it had begun pushing away the Origin Treasure of Ohrox to the side. The Storm of purplish-black Aether coming from the wings of the Angels had clearly increased, and it was raging all over his Mental Space.

At this time, he could no longer Upgrade the Avatar of Eve bloodline due to the Ouroboros bloodline not being strong enough to contain it effectively.

Any influence this bloodline should have on the outside world had been thoroughly suppressed by him, and he aimed to keep it that way. A secret becomes worthless if it was easily revealed.

The Soul collection capabilities was one of the hidden functions of this bloodline that had been upgraded, and every Mortal Souls around him by a few thousand feet would be ripped of their bodies if a single whiff of his new bloodline essence escape from his body.

Rowan cocked his head as he discovered a mistake he made. The location where he first upgraded this bloodline needed to be destroyed. He must leave no traces behind about what occurred there.
