Rowan had an idea that sothing strange and dangerous would happen during the creation of the Reflections, and the only reason he had this idea in the first place was when he was scrubbing through the mories of the Reflections, he noticed that towards the end of their creation, there was a sense of haste in the process.
This was the only hint he had, and using it as a fra of reference Rowan did not stop what he was doing because although it seed as if he had been physically sent to another location, Rowan was a dinsion, and teleporting him without his consent was nearly impossible, and he knew that acknowledging this change in his location would make it so.
His consciousness had been mysteriously dragged to this place because of his link with the Reflection he was about to make, and the mont he acknowledged this change, it would beco permanent and he would truly be inside the desert.
Not shifting his mind away from his creation Rowan simply continued with his creation process, even when he felt a vast consciousness that was erging from everything around him, as if the entire desert was a living entity sweeping past him repeatedly, and with every passing mont, that consciousness seems to be getting incredibly closer to finding him. Rowan's hand rummaging inside the forehead of the Reflection paused and he withdrew it, just as he did, a whisper sound like the last breath of a dying titan swept through the desert, heading at him with incredible speed,
"X XXX XXX XXX..."
The darkness in the eyes of his Reflection faded and when he opened his eyes, Rowan was gone, and he could barely comprehend his environnt before the Reflection found himself on the Frozen Road.
This Reflection possessed the mindset and character of Rowan, but his powers were
incomplete, he did not know about Angels, or the Primordial Record and he believed that his bloodline of the Ouroboros Serpent granted him only a single Serpent under his control.
There were many minor changes in his mories, but what was important was that this Reflection knew that the reality outside of this universe was dangerous, and he needed to find a way to survive and thrive because he knew that he would soon be ascending into the fourth dinsion and when he did, he might draw the attention of the Primordials.
He contemplated the road he should travel, he could either go to the land of Miracles where he could find Elura his mother, and learn more about his past, he could go to the Great Abyss, the land of Demons, or to the Great Labyrinth, which he had learned was a powerful Primordial power that basically was a great trading hub that covered the entirety of reality and was a great place to find opportunities.
After contemplating for a while, Rowan Decided to go to the Great Abyss. Like all Primordial Realms, it could be regarded as infinite in size, and due to its many levels that were semi- independent of each other, if he was careful enough he could stay under the radar with his guise as a Demon King.
He had all the mories of billions of Demons inside of him due to the war with the Reflections, these mories also included those from Demon Princes and Kings. With these mories, he could slowly carve out a stake in the Great Abyss as he grew his powers and the tactics he might use to ascend the dinsional ladder as a living dinsion.
There was also the fact that he learned from the mories of the Demons that the Great Abyss had a very corrupting influence on those that entered it, slowly transforming them into its likeness, for so of the great Demon Lords of the Abyss were even Celestials who entered the Great Abyss and fell to its temptations of great power.
As a result of this, the gates of the Great Abyss were wide open and they were not against the incursions of foreign invaders or lost beings who found themselves inside this Domain by accident, for this was a realm of eternal battle, and the Great Abyss valued only strength. There could not be a better place for Rowan to start his journey.
On the way to the Great Abyss, Rowan heard the songs of the fad Sirens, and he found aning in them, and so he was inspired.
From the Frost Giants that were unique to the Frozen Road, he made a book from their skin, but he stopped himself from completing the last page, fearing that there would be great changes inside the Frozen Road that could destabilize whatever future plans he had.
This Reflection spent a thousand years creating this book and kept it inside his dinsion, he did not question the reason he did this, he only thought it was normal and even when the book vanished like it did not exist in the first place, he did not even realize it.
His journey to the Great Abyss was fraught with peril, and when he arrived the battle for his existence took a dramatic turn for the worse, but Rowan was a creature that thrived in adversity and he grew, and he learned and ultimately his eyes turned to the realm of Doom Star, he had no idea what it was at first, but gathering information in the Great Abyss had shown him that there could be a pleasant surprise when he entered within.
This information had erged from a powerful seventh Dinsional entity who called himself Seed, and although he refused to tell Rowan his origins, Rowan had still sensed a feeling of familiarity from this being, and it would seem that the feeling was mutual for during his ti in the Great Abyss before he entered Doom Star, Seed was a great help, he even provided the propulsion that Rowan needed to enter the realm.
He believed that Seed saw him as a weird creature, a being whose physical strength seed to grow without limits, but Rowan knew that he had been limiting his growth would soon co to an end if he did not take the next step, and it was a bitter pill to swallow. Rowan had spent tens of millions of years in the Great Abyss by this point and his powers had grown despite the fact that he was suppressing himself from reaching the fourth dinsion. Climbing the dinsional ladder was not the only pathway of power for him, but he would inevitably reach a limit when his dinsion had been filled to the brim and he needed to venture into a new one to continue the process of his growth.
That was the reason why even though he could tear Demon Lords to pieces at this point, he still required the aid of Seed to propel him into Doom Star.
However, the mont the Reflection broke through the barrier that bound this realm, sothing changed as the World Stele he had forgotten about appeared before him, and his body was dragged into this realm's past.
A billion years into the past!

Back in the universe of Rowan's birth, he rested for a while after the creation of his first Reflection while he pondered on the process.
He could not help but smile when he opened his palm and a blue tallic book appeared. From the mont he sent the Reflection outside the universe, it had only been three hours, but Rowan had lived nearly a billion years.
This was just the beginning. He had finished resting and he began the process of creating the second Reflection.
