Chapter 401 Cheating With Soul Energy
The tremendous chaos inside Andar's mind was enough to rouse Rowan from slumber, as he took another ten seconds from his eight– 'ten seconds' that was remaining.
His mind grasped everything that happened and he scrutinized the situation from all angles, this was one of the eventualities he planned for before entering the Magus society.
It would be impossible to perfectly infiltrate the world of Mages, even if he chooses to stay low-key. Although that would have been a better option, Rowan was always constrained by time and powerful enemies, he had to always be one step ahead.
At this time he had been suppressed inside Andar's mind due to the damages the Spirit Matrix sustained.
This did not happen by chance.
Rowan had sensed a destructive will bearing down on Andar, and at first, he thought his presence had been discovered but this Will had no malice, only an endless amount of apathy, and it was directed more towards the hand of the Chained god than to him, he was just a side note.
Whomever this was, Rowan was nothing and they wanted to shake him off the board, he realized that if he allowed this will to fully accomplish its task, then Andar would be left in a vegetative state for decades and he would then be useless for his purpose.
Rowan decided to bear the full brunt of the attack, knowing that what did not kill him would ultimately be considered a useless assault as he would heal and return stronger.
Judging by the damage his Reflection suffered, it meant he would not be in contact with Andar for over a year, maybe even less if Andar was able to solve the chaos in his spirit Matrix, but he was not too hung up over this, perhaps it would turn out to be a good thing.
Rowan with his Empyrean body had developed a habit of recklessness, and his innate immortality would have influenced the young Andar to commit acts that were beyond his capabilities.
Andar had been developing a disturbing habit of trying to impress Rowan, and he would have properly channeled the thoughts of Andar soon enough but now he had been temporarily blocked from his side.
If nothing changes then in a year, he will see what progress this child has made. Rowan looked inside himself, all was not lost.
Rowan could not open his Primordial Record to check its status, because this treasure was an absolute item that obeyed its own rules, Rowan could not force it to open inside this split time he had made, but he sensed that at the moment he encountered the Supreme Meditation Art, his Primordial Record vibrated.
He would bet that if he opened to the seventh page, he would see a new technique.
Frostmourne!
The only Supreme Meditation Art of the Magus World.
In a manner, Andar had performed his duties to Rowan, and so he shifted his gaze away from the boy and into the Divine Palace of Erohim.
The boy had given him many gifts, and the most important of all was the ten seconds he gave him. With those ten seconds, Rowan would be able to change his fate, if the only thing Andar achieved was to give him these ten seconds, then it was enough.
He had created precisely 140 World seeds because that was all he would need to wake up.
Normally a World Seed would need to gestate for a decade while feeding on and corrupting the host planet, but with Soul Energy, Rowan could skip all that.
He only needed to generate enough energy for the World Seeds to mature and take over the planet and in turn, they would feed him the Essence of that world, which would in turn grant him massive amounts of Attributes and lifespan while laying the foundation for him to craft his Territory.
He had controlled Soul Energy without the Primordial Record before but due to the constraints of having so little Soul Energy, he could not really flex his will and experiment. This was not a problem for him anymore, the soul of Erohim and the world of Jarkarr was enough for him to digest for decades.
Each of the World Seeds was the size of a small calf, and within it was a complex machinery that was impossible to describe, because parts of it did not even exist in the material universe.
This was an ability that surpassed the limits of the original Ouroboros Bloodline and was born from his Chaos blood. It was this ability that brought about shocking changes in his Ouroboros Bloodline.
Eva had trained her full attention on the developments of the World Seeds and previously Rowan wanted to release them as they were, but he was beginning to detect a hint of danger that he could no longer deny.
Although that intuition of danger was ever present around him, this was the first time he had been so disabled for an extended period.
This situation was all right and proper because any action would have consequences. Rowan had eaten the soul of a god, by all right, he should have slept for millennia while he digested this bounty.
He was getting impatient, he needed to wake up, because, well… he could cheat. His Soul Energy was the ultimate trump card, coupled with the other amazing abilities from his bloodline, Rowan could accomplish wonders.
The Knowledge Well Chamber was now a part of him, and after analyzing all his memories, including the times he used Soul Energy without the Primordial Record, it had already created eight strategies to manipulate Soul Energy, and Rowan used all his time to rapidly go through them.
He levitated a Soul Crystal that contained ten million Soul Points. Using all the guidelines that Knowledge Well had simulated Rowan discarded six of the methods, they were either too slow or too wasteful.
Even if Knowledge Well could create accurate simulations, he still needed to test them in reality.
He had already lost more than 300,000 Soul Points to his experiments, but it was not a waste. The strange tree inside his Palace of Ice grew a few inches with the energy that was lost.
