This intrusive thought was stuck in his head, his mories were fragnted but he still rembered that the Primordial Record could not fully understand the intricacies of his dinsional flesh, as far as he could tell he was the first living dinsion in existence, and although the Primordials had been around even before ti began, it did not an there had ever been anyone else like him.
His understanding of dinsions and how to manipulate them ca instinctively to him because he was a dinsion and knew that if soone else wanted to hide under his sight, this was the route to follow, but was this manner of thinking common? Could it be that his greatest advantage had been with him all along but he had just been chasing fluff?
This line of thinking was exciting but also dangerous. This could all be a deliberate trap set by the Eye to deceive him, and he should not rush down this path until he had gathered enough evidence to assure him that he was not making a deadly mistake, before then he would assu that the Eye knew the details of all his abilities, this was a necessity at this mont where he was at his weakest.
"Your aid," Rowan asked, "What would it be worth to ?"
Noah Rithmast smiled, "I would have been very disappointed if you did not ask this of ."
Sohow, Rowan doubted this statent very much, but he kept silent.
"You know of the Great Darkness, the fourth-dinsional realm of Chaos," Noah gestured and the space in front of them parted and sothing erged.
It was like a blob of amorphous darkness that was interspersed with light of all shades. A mortal or even an immortal who had not reached a higher dinsion would not be able to interpret what this was, their minds and souls not grasping the entirety of the picture, but Rowan's soul was at the fourth dinsion, and even without this, he would understand that he was seeing a map of the Great Darkness.
This map that the Eye created was not larger than a few ters, but the details it contained were ridiculous. Just an inch of the map contained more than a million third-dinsional universes, and this was just the surface.
Since the Great Darkness was a fourth-dinsional space, then it could hold far greater things than universes, and those were the gateway to other higher dinsions. Every known power in reality, from the Primordials to other Supre Powers like the Mages or Titans had their root connected to the Great Darkness.
Rowan's gaze was drinking all the details of this map greedily, he was aware that after he left the universe of his birth, he had road the Great Darkness for a short while before he found his way to the Frozen Road. He must have road around for decades, maybe even centuries but he saw that he would have barely begun to scratch the surface of what the Great Darkness had to offer.
He had been staring at the map for a while and he looked back at the Eye, he should have brought up the Great Darkness to make a point but he was just silent, his gaze containing a weird glow as he stared at the map, seemingly forgetting the reason he had brought it up in the first place.
Rowan did not interrupt him, he could not tell the value of this map but he knew it was priceless. With proper sturdy, he could find the way to any domain linked to the Great Darkness. He was not sure how many maps there were of this dinsion, but he knew none could ever beat what a Primordial knew and recorded.
When Noah Rithmast began talking, so focused was Rowan on the map that he almost missed it,
"When you gained your Bloodline of Ti, I know you must have seen it all begin, or at least the small portions that my body could leave behind in this tiny stream left in this realm. Every Infinity bubble holds a portion of my Essence as well as my mories."
He smiled, and sohow Rowan felt a bit of pain erge from his soul when he saw that expression on Noah Rithmast's face. Despite this being nothing but a shell, there was a pain here that could not be denied,
"Do you know the greatest weakness of a Primordial? Our Essence is all-powerful, every drop of it contains infinite power and infinite potential... infinite. Yet it is our curse that this Essence is finite! In the beginning that was not the case, but things changed, and they all changed as well, our bonds could no longer hold us anymore as for the first ti in our existence, fear entered our hearts, and we all beca mad."
Noah Rithmast pointed at the Great Darkness, "Look at him, look at what Chaos made himself beco, is that not madness? He was the one who began this path that led here, and until this mont, I had expected that my betrayal should have borne fruit, but he remained chained... the fool."
Another bombshell was just dropped by the Eye and it acted as if it was nothing. The first was obviously telling Rowan that there was a Primordial of the Soul and it was not just related to Ti as Rowan had been discovering but it was his twin sister! At this mont Rowan was trying not to make that the center of his thought but what the Eye just said now, although simple, made everything fall in place.
It was said that Chaos the Primordial was the Creator of every universe in existence, according to Eva the Lady of Shadows, a single strand of his hair was a million universes, and since ti immorial he had been bound by chains by the other Primordials, held at the Gates of Oblivion.
Rowan had seen the vision of Ti being torn apart to create the foundation for every higher dinsion in existence, but he had failed to realize one thing-There was sothing that ca before Ti and that was Space.
Chaos was Space.
If the Primordials had dwelled in Nothingness, then it ant that there had to be sothing before any lesser living beings could be created. Except for beings at their level, nothing else could survive inside the Nothingness.
If this was the case, what had prompted Chaos to beco the first Primordial to essentially chain himself for all of eternity in order to create Space?
There must surely be a reason for this act, and if what Ti was saying was the truth, Chaos was hoping that this act would have borne fruit and he would no longer be chained but it seed it turned out not to be the case.
Rowan was also aware that there had been a war that concerned the Children of Chaos against the Primordials that only ended when Caine betrayed Chaos and sided with the Celestials to suppress the Intent of Chaos from causing trouble in the universes.
Did this an that also like Ti, Chaos was betrayed by the other Primordials? Was there a benefit to keeping Ti and Space bound for all this while?
On the surface of things, the answer to this question was rather simple. Ti and Space have
beco the foundation of all reality. If Chaos was to be free of his Chains, did it an that all of space would vanish? If Ti was to regain his body, would Ti itself as it was known in reality cease to exist?
