The Primordial Record

Chapter 977  Streams Of Fate

Deciphering his vision from the Supreme Circle was difficult, taking more of his consciousness power than he had expected, but he was able to decipher what he was seeing. He expected that this vision would make anyone with a lesser mental capacity either run mad, or their heads would explode.

The perception of the world through his Supreme Circle was very different from his normal sight, and he discovered that he was not looking at reality only as it is, but as what it could be. The overall vision superimposing on the other four streams of vision was showing him the present form of the reality around him, and the others showed him something different.

Each vision was showing him reality but every one of them was slightly distinct. It was easy to miss at first, because sometimes the variation was so slight it was almost impossible to pick it out, but with his consciousness power, he could pierce through the fog.

He did this by isolating the patterns that were noticeable in each stream of vision and deepened his understanding of the purpose of this sight. He traced one of the patterns and followed it across all his streams of vision—it was a falling leaf.

In the first vision, a falling leaf that was being consumed by flames fell on its side, before burning to ash.

 In the second vision, the leaf never fell from its branches, it was the entire tree that was uprooted, in the third vision the leaf fell from the tree but it was not touched by flames, and in the last vision the leaf and the tree did not exist at all, the earth had unexpectedly collapsed in that region.

In the fifth vision that was superimposed over all of them, the tree was present, but it was now entirely consumed by flames.

Why was the vision of the Supreme Circle showing him different probable paths of reality? If he manifested all the nine Circles, would he have nine possible paths of Fate?... Being shown to him? If he could see the path of Fate, could he manipulate it or was he just restricted to being an observer alone?

There were more mysteries to be unearthed from this vision, but he knew he would need to activate the Supreme Circle before anything could be done about it. No matter what happened in the future, Rowan did not regret comprehending the Supreme Circle, such a power had countless possibilities and he was barely even scratching the surface.

Yet when he looked at his surroundings…

'Ahh… this is not good, perhaps, I may have overdone it. Who could have thought that manifesting the Supreme Circle would lead to… this!' n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Cut off from the world, Rowan had not anticipated how the ring made from fog would affect reality. He knew that bringing them into being would lead to unexpected changes, but he did not forget that at this time, he had not even begun activating the Supreme circle, and this was just a shell that needed to be filled up, and he was inside a domain created by a higher dimensional being, therefore this area should be able to easily weather through any commotion that might result from unveiling the Supreme Circle.

That thought vanished when he saw the devastation around him.

He was surrounded by four large gray rings that seemed to have created a barrier of force around him. Inside this barrier, there was Nothingness, true Nothingness, as in the formless force where every dimension was rooted. However, the Nothingness inside the ring was different, because Rowan had an intrinsic connection with it, and it was almost as if he could manipulate it, but without activating the Supreme Circle, it was just an instinct at the back of his mind, he needed the Circle completed before he could begin exploring any of the abilities.

Rowan had never imagined that his creation of the Supreme Circle would create a zone of Nothingness around him. With the ring holding all these in a steady configuration and his connection with it, the result was straightforward if somewhat alarming and unexpected.

Rowan had just made his Reality that was outside the bounds of the known Reality!

This was different from his dimensional flesh, this was a true reality that was unbounded and uncontrolled by anyone, not even a Primordial! At least that was what he inferred, but Rowan hardly understood what Nothingness signified and until then the complete ramifications of this ability were impossible to explore.

Outside the ring was a field of devastation, the earth and the sky were torn to pieces and were constantly being destroyed, but a potent force kept renewing every devastation that occurred. If not for this, his Supreme Circle would have clashed against the fragile space of reality and an unprecedented commotion would have ensued.

It was as if the rings of the Supreme Circle were Anti-matter, and the rest of reality was Matter, and as such, they actively repelled each other causing wholesale devastation, and this was all just a manifestation, what sort of changes would happen if he had an activated and completed Supreme Circle? What if he had all nine?!

Although the rings might appear as though they had similar powers that was only because they were only manifestations. Every higher ring was multiple times more powerful than those that were beneath them. Would a completed Supreme Circle be powerful enough to repel all of reality? If that was the case, was that not as if he was creating a new Era and ending the current Supreme Era?

Rowan forcefully suppressed the errant thoughts in his head for the moment, this would lead him down a path he did not want to contemplate at this time.

At this moment the rings could be seen as a picture of a flame, yet these flames were so mystical that only the picture of it was enough to bring about great heat. Rowan did not bother with the mysteries behind this manifestation as he looked around for the two higher-dimensional beings, he needed answers, and he hoped he had not scared them to madness.

He could not help but think that he was lucky that he decided to manifest the Supreme Circle inside a dimension created by Old Man Seed, although the surroundings appeared normal, Rowan knew that this place was far more sturdy than any regular world.

He had entered the depths of stars and the gravitational forces he could feel were even lesser than what was available in this place, signifying that it was a space where everything was incredibly dense, and yet, looking around him he could see that the earth had been reduced to rubble as far as his eyes could see.

The mystical heat the ring was spewing out was melting the surrounding space to nothingness, this was not even factoring the massive purple clouds that were circling above him, imposing such a case suppression on everything above, making it so that the heavens did not exist, and everything was pushed below his feet.

"So, this is what happens when you bring together the Supreme circle?"

The voice of Old Man Seed appeared behind Rowan, and what was interesting was that in the four visions in his mind through the Supreme Circle, Old Man Seed had said the same things, but in the last vision, what he said was this; 

"Perhaps I have made a mistake, Elura, he was never supposed to succeed. This exercise was made to break him. I cannot allow him to live."
