The Primordial Record

Rowan held his head and he groaned. Like the previous memories he had that seemed to have happened yet, he had to recollection of, this one was longer and hit him like a brick, and what he found most interesting about it all was how deeply he could read the thoughts and emotions of everyone in the memory, it was as if he had become a part of everyone there. "How strange, all of these pieces fit into an overall whole that I am not seeing yet."

There were many strange occurrences going on with the retrieval of his consciousness, making him reconsider his plans every time he made discoveries, but Rowan had learned to always keep his plan fluid, in this manner there was no way he would be suffering excessive losses when things did not go his way as they most likely would.

Peering into his consciousness with his powerful soul he observed that he now had access to new abilities, and it was an unexpected one—Hollow Forge.

Of the three Chambers he had gained from the Palace of Ice, Hollow Forge had lots of promise, but Rowan rarely used it for anything else but for its utility aspect. Although not meant to be a weapon, in a pinch Rowan could choose to throw his enemies into it and separate them into their basest component.

The greatest use of Hollow Forge he had used up to this moment was in the processing of entire galaxies as he searched for the materials needed to forge whatever he needed.

The appearance of the Hollow Forge drastically changed the plans he would be making going forward, and Rowan wondered if there was an overall purpose to the abilities he was unlocking.

From his feet, his body began to crumble to dust. He had become an Ascendant and therefore he had no need for mortal flesh, and since his Ascension was extremely peculiar, his new state of being was extremely strange.

For other Explorers, they would have six Natal Treasures, but he chose to have only one, and they would merge their Natal Treasure to a single dead continent, but Rowan had merged his Natal Treasure to billions of living individuals.

With the destruction of his fleshy body increasing, Rowan placed both of his hands together and made a weird hand sign, and the space in front of him parted and then something that resembled a miniature volcano emerged from the space crack.

Rowan accessed it for a brief moment and looked around him before making a motion with his dissipating finger and his Hollow Forge was tossed for miles before it landed in the ocean and disappeared into the dark depths.

The burst of information about the ocean's composition surprised Rowan and his eyes widened before he collapsed entirely to dust.

Silence reigned on the entirety of the Continent for weeks, as if everyone here was dead. Some ships flew by but the occupants had heard about the cleansing of the continent of Blood Bounds, and so they stayed far away, knowing the sick appetites of Storm Hammer and the silence over the entire continent was like a repulsion field that drove everyone away.

The continent began to shrink, slowly at first, but this process became faster and faster, and in less than three days, the entirety of its land mass and the people on it vanished. With the arrogance of the Ascendants, it took months before they noticed that Storm Hammer had not returned from her mission, but the missing continent was enough for them to think she had not only fulfilled her mission but she went overboard and destroyed the entire continent along with it.

Due to her character, such a thing was not out of the left field, and for a long while, her faction was in hot water as they tried to locate Storm Hammer and argue that the Blood Bound continent was now useless due to the declining quality of ore being mined from it, suggesting that whatever power was contained in this continent, after nearly a million years of abuse was spent and therefore the primary purpose of keeping the Blood Bound alive was gone.

The matter was very serious and the hunt for Storm Hammer was under serious investigation but all that was thrown aside when the danger zone—Time Blight suddenly surged outwards faster than before, claiming nearly a hundred thousand continents in less than a week.

The major forces of Ascendancy were mobilized and the issue of Storm Hammer and the missing continent was placed on the back burner, the danger zone could no longer be treated with kid gloves, and now it was time to end this blight on their land once and for all.

The fourth year after Rowan killed the Divine Ascendant silently passed and the fifth year rolled in.

Hollow Forge could perfectly disassemble anything and store it away for Rowan to use, with Rowan's existing knowledge base he could recreate anything that he understood. It was a shame that although he had access to Hollow Forge, he did not have the vast stores of materials he had accumulated after consuming an entire universe and dozens of other vast extra-dimensional bodies, but those concerns were washed away when he discovered what this seemingly endless ocean that covered the entirety of Doom Star contained.

The disappearance of the continent was due to Rowan consuming it with Hollow Forge and when the Ascendants were searching for a continent above the waves, Rowan had already recreated a new continent beneath the surface of the ocean, precisely at its bottom.

Following the endless cities that he had witnessed from his transforming City of Sheol, Rowan recreated one of his favorite cities. He did not know the origin of this city, most likely it once existed or would in the future, but the city was crafted from gleaming metal and shining glass, its beauty was unrivaled with vast gardens and beautiful rivers, it was a perfect merger of nature and industrialization, with metallic buildings that stretched to the skies for tens of thousands of feet, yet were wrapped by flowers and gentle streams of water that defied gravity and flowed upwards.

To protect this city from the harsh pressure of being underwater, Rowan forged thousands of shield generators that created a thousand layers of shielding over the entire city. It would take multiple Ascendants of Storm Hammer level to breach it in a short while and this was far from the only defense that this city boasted.

He could create this massive city more than four hundred miles across using the materials from the continent above and still have enough resources to create ten more of these cities. The Hollow Forge was nothing if not efficient.

This city however was just the first portion of the plan, it would serve as a home and a base of war for the Blood Blessed and that meant his preparation was just beginning. It barely took Rowan a week to make this entire city, and then he began to create weapons.

He may not have access to his knowledge Well Chamber, but Rowan had enough understanding of weapons due to his Destroyer Title that he did not need this chamber to craft planet-cracking weapons easily. However what Rowan needed was not planet crackers, because for what was to come, such a level of destruction was too weak.
