Leaving him with those disturbing words, the old man cooly shifted to a new topic,
"Listen closely Romion," Old Man Seed said seriously, "do not forget my words for inside the Doom Star mories are twisted and although I know your soul is powerful, always rember that there is sothing outside bigger than this star, this thought might protect your mind when the heavens of the Doom Star suppresses you. It will get harder to tell the difference between what is real and what is not when you are inside. Protect your mories."
The seriousness in the tone of the old man made Rowan to be focused, the dangers inherent in reality were boundless and if a seventh-dinsional being like Seed was wary of this place, then he should be.
The Doom Star was a place that had existed during the Primordial Era, with its true origins unknown, it could have beco at least an eighth-dinsional being if its Will was not shattered. That ant this place in a way could have the potential of a partial ninth dinsion, should he call such a level Quasi-Primordial level?
Apparently, at this stage, any being or location could share the benefits of being eternal as the Primordials and exist across every Era. There was no way this place was not as dangerous as any Primordial Domain.
This was good news for him, although the dangers inside Doom Star might be unfathomable, its dinsional status was high enough that he might be able to push for his Class once he was inside.
Perhaps he might lose a bit of potential by not gaining his Class while inside a Primordial Domain, the trade-off was that he would be much safer in the end. His powers and potential had increased in the short while that he had been outside the universe and it was unknown if it had reached the extent where gaining his Class could draw the attention of higher dinsional entities and maybe even the potential of a Primordial.

"You know about Tribulations, yes?"
Rowan nodded, "A bit. I know that they arrive when a technique, specific abilities, an ascension, or evolution reaches an Immortal level, and in my experience, they are usually sent by the universal Will or sothing… else. Thinking about it now, I believe a higher-dinsional entity should be able to create tribulations and direct them toward lower realms. Yet I am not aware of the reasons for such a thing."
Old Man Seed chuckled and drew his arm down his long white beard, "All your assumptions are correct, and except for the Nothingness outside all dinsions, Tribulations are instituted among all the realms. Among the many reasons for this, it is primarily due to the fact that they are necessary for higher dinsional entities to progress in their ascension because the act of unleashing tribulation inside a domain would create an opportunity for change and refinent. All these are topics you will be tackling in the future when you begin assailing the higher dinsions, but for now, I am bringing it up because of your Supre Circle."
Fixing his gaze towards Rowan the old man pointed at his chest where the manifestation of the Circle had previously erged,
"You do understand that your Supre Circle was created by the Primordials, and so every ascension to a higher Circle would draw tribulation from the five known Primordial Domains. I have only seen it happen once at a distance when soone else completed the first Supre Circle, she did not survive it. There could have been others, but from that mont, no one else was foolish enough to ascend their tribulation under the influence of the Primordial Domains."
The old man seed to beco distracted by mories of the past before he shrugged,
"Perhaps you might be able to survive it, you have shown countless tis that you are nothing if not tenacious, but the attention you are going to draw not just from attaining a single circle but four of them would be monuntal, and so you would need to go sowhere outside the domain of the Primordials. To a place like this, the Doom Star."
The invisible shield covering Old Man Seed and Rowan suddenly let out a loud cracking sound and the old man grunted, and began speaking faster, pushing a bracelet into Rowan's left forearm,
"This bangle contains a portal to a shared pool of resources from Elura and for you to actualize your Supre Circle. Because the tribulation you are expected to be receiving for every Circle you activate increases in intensity, then it ans that technically no one should survive past the third tribulation… technically, you have broken all concepts of the common sensibilities that I know, so I will no longer judge you with it."
Rowan frowned, he had a complicated relationship with Tribulations, on the one hand, it was a source of danger and a barrier that was ant to block anyone from attaining greater heights in the pursuit of power, yet he had been using it as a source of nourishnt.
Rowan had used his ability to manipulate ti paired with the unique nature of the Ouroboros Serpents to claim their advantages even across ti and space. He had drained every tribulation dry, earning far too many attributes from them and despite the fact that he knew that what he could be facing with the Supre Circle may be beyond what he might imagine, he could not help but contemplate if he could do the sa for its tribulation.
He did not want to go through a single tribulation with each circle, he wanted dozens, he wanted the heavens of the Primordial domains to be the ones to flee before his hunger, yet he was reasonable enough to understand that to fight against the tribulation from five Primordial domains was out of the question, but if he was entering a closed environnt like the Doom Star, then certain plans could be created, and asures could be assud to ensure that he reaped the most benefits from not going through just one tribulation but nine at the sa ti.
Yes, Rowan would be pushing for the nine Supre Circles at once, but on the surface, he would only be showing the power of the fourth Supre Circle to the world. The one reason he would be able to do this was with the power of the Primordial Record.
These thoughts from Rowan went by in a flash as Old Man Seed continued,
"You should be warned, the challenges you would face inside Doom Star are not any bit lesser than what you would face against the five Primordial Domains, perhaps it might even be a bit worse, but whatever changes that happened within would be contained."
Old Man Seed waved his hand and a formless force encircled Rowan, bringing him up in the air,
"My shield would soon be broken, exposing to Doom Star, there would be a brief mont between when my shied is broken and I am exposed, and I will be sending you towards the malignant star. There are potent forces inside that place that would seek to twist your mind, do not let them, and don't waste much ti in starting up the activation of your Circles, but ensure you rest and properly recover after each tribulation, for the difficulty increases with every circle you conquer."
