The Primordial Record-Novel

Chapter 230 Three Chambers

?

When he received a prophecy from the witches of the Minerva family about his rise or his doom to be found on this planet, he had taken it with a pinch of salt, after all, the Patriarch of the Minerva family had been lost for thousands of years and their prophecy had been weak, but he had chosen to accept it because he heard rumors of a new patriarch of the Minerva family had ascended.

Turns out his gamble was paying of. He pushed the golden bones into a swirling hole in his chest, and the Mayfly Tree used flaming vines to place them underneath her roots.

Looking around, his surroundings were devastated, and he knew it was not because of only his actions as he battled the beast, but also something else.

The terms for this beast subjugation mission was to avoid destruction above a certain threshold, else payment may be withdrawn or reduced, to Dorian that did not matter, at his current level he did not need resources all that much, only combat to refine himself further, plus he had everything he needed right here.

He idly picked up a rock, and it crumbled to ash, a few moments back a weird pulse had traveled through the planet, and the world around him began to crumble. There was a small hill in front of him, and he gently fanned the air, and it collapsed into ash.

It was as if the world had lost its vitality only leaving a shell behind., Dorian, of course, was genuinely interested to know the reason this was happening.

He had sensed a frightful power in the Third Continent that gave even him pause, and he was waiting to tackle it last when he was at the peak of his preparation, it was the reason he was going about fighting battles, he needed to be ready for what lies inside the third continent. Yet, this new development was bizarre.

He paused as his heart skipped a beat, and he turned to the skies where far in the west a golden beam of light pierced through the sky and into the void.

A few moments later, a roar followed that resonated and swept past him, and he shivered, grinning in delight as he held his blade and began flying towards the direction of the light.

The crumbling world, the golden light and the roar that echoed all over the world spoke of considerable changes, Dorian licked his lips.

He noticed his hands were shaking, whether from excitement, nervousness or fear, he did not know.

Readying himself, Rowan began pushing for the Rift State for the Avatar of Eve bloodline, but he was stopped from his Ascension by a series of prompts from his bloodline, although he would not be getting any new abilities, his palace could now hold a new chamber at the Rift state.

This was the direction that this bloodline took, when Ouroboros seemed to strengthen his body, this went the opposite direction. He would be receiving skills that would strengthen his forces.

The chambers he could create for now included Hollow Forge, Knowledge Well, and Astrolabe; the rest were blurred, hidden from his view at the current level.

He could only see a blurred view from the chambers he could access, the Hollow Forge immediately drew his attention because it seemed to be in line with what he needed to push his plans to become a Mobile Alchemy Forge, he did not know its purposes yet, but it called to him.

Astrolabe was mysterious with just impressions of shining stars that blinked sporadically, and the last also aroused his interest, Knowledge well seemed to be a library, and if he were to pick the right choice for him, he knew it had to be knowledge well.

On the verge of picking knowledge well, he was stopped by the Lady of Shadow, who indicated for him to pick the Astrolabe. Rowan frowned, he had always lacked information in this overly complex and vast world he found himself and nothing could supplant knowledge.

Yet the lady of shadow indicated she was selecting this choice for him because of his current situation, as nothing would serve him better. When Rowan pressed her about what Astrolabe might offer him over choosing either Hollow Forge or Knowledge Well, she simply told him: freedom.

Rowan dwelled on that information for a while, and he chose to follow her advice and picked Astrolabe. She knew of his memories and his death, and she had access to more information than he did about his current bloodline.

Rowan chose to trust her, the other reason was because she informed him that he would have options for more chambers at the Incarnation State and higher, so he could select Knowledge Well or Hollow Forge when he reached those levels, and there were other better options ahead, but Astrolabe was indispensable for his current condition.

Choosing to select Astrolabe as the first chamber to be created, he began Ascending to the Rift State with the Avatar of Eve bloodline.

Growing was a strange word to use for an inanimate object like a building, but that was the only word that would be able to be utilized when explaining how the Palace of Ice was expanding.

Almost like each piece of itself was a living thing, the palace stretched and shook as new parts of itself formed like living waters and created minarets, balconies and parapets, long arching windows and columns emerged from the castle like rib bones.

There was a shock inside his Spirit as if a bomb had just exploded, and his Palace of Ice did not just begin growing larger, it was extending and creating new unique structures that radiated power. His purple black Aether conjured up a storm as they began merging with the growing structure.

At the western part of the Palace, a new circular dais was created that resembled glass as it was transparent with weird lighting shooting through it, as wide as a football field, which was about four hundred feet, and it hovered in the air, held by yellow lightning bolts.
