The Primordial Record-Novel

Chapter 457 The Swirling Maelstrom

The hunger inside the heart of Rowan began to manifest after the battle was over, his overly analytical mind was being washed under by a seemingly fragrant scent, like a divine feast waiting for him to indulge his gluttony and revel in decadence without any limits.

Dao Ma had looked into Rowan's eyes and he had seen the end of all things. The god had fallen into despair and acceptance that at the moment of his death, he would never rise again.

Eva appeared beside Rowan and looked at the head of Dao Ma, her pert nose wrinkled and she looked away, they both stepped into the Divine Kingdom and the large spikes the Ouroboros Serpents kept floating around disintegrated into dust as Rowan collected all the energy inside them.

With another step, Rowan strolled into a new world. One where there was no moon or stars above, just endless white of water and the green of plants.

Every Divine Kingdom was different, each of them was patterned after the power the god controlled. For Erohim his kingdom was one of ice and fire, but for Dao Ma was one of endless swamps with unknown depths and dense forests that went as far as the eyes could see.

Like every Divine Kingdom, he came to catch sight of, they had no edges but visibly folded themselves into a sphere. If the Divine Kingdom was to be a planet, then the planet would be hollow, and it would be situated inside of it, and the outside surface of the planet would just be its skin.

Rowan looked above and he could see only vast swamps and forests that defied gravity and did not fall but existed upside down. It was almost as if the sky was a gigantic mirror.

What could not be ignored however was the growing invasion inside the Divine Kingdom, massive golden vines in their millions were growing and penetrating through the swamps and the forest, draining it of life and bringing behind them a wind of change, as the corners of the Divine Kingdom became covered by a large fog anywhere the vines passed, Rowan World Seed was claiming the Divine Kingdom!

Countless beasts of all shapes and sizes ran ahead of the vines and the fog, but they were not fast enough, and before long, all of them would fall. Those that were worthy would rise, new beings, with a single Primogenitor—Rowan.

Dismissing this amazing view, he saw the target he was here to find and smiled at Eva, who nodded back.

The both of them began moving through the Divine Kingdom at speeds exceeding many times the speed of sound, their destination was a swirling maelstrom at what could be called the center of the Divine Kingdom, which at first seemed to be very close, but that turned out to be false because they had been flying for three minutes and they had barely crossed a fraction of the distance.

At their speed, they would have crossed countless miles and yet they were no closer to reaching it. This was not a trick of perception, the Divine Kingdom of Dao Ma was this vast, it was unlike a god like Erohim who was on his last leg.

Rowan wanted to finish this task quickly and he summoned Astrolabe and they all vanished only to reappear directly on top of the swirling maelstrom.

The size and speed of the maelstrom caused heavy winds and generated large amounts of lightning that plunged into the swirling chaos. If not for the innate stability of the space inside the Divine Kingdom, the force of the maelstrom would tear space to pieces.

lightsnοvεl.cοm The Maelstrom was 13 million miles in diameter and the amount of water it was violently moving around was enormous. It was the last line of defense between Dao Ma Divine Palace and the world.

The Maelstrom resembled a gigantic hurricane and the eyes of the Maelstrom were bright green and became steadily darker as you got closer to the edges where they merged with the great swamps.

Dao Ma smiled, " This is my Endless Eye, crafted from the Natal Treasure that came with my birth as a god, this Maelstrom is not water but Vorpal Essence. It is a Divine Metal that by chance passed across my sights during my Ascension to Godhood, a sign that the universe favored my rise. My Divine Kingdom was built using this Divine Metal as its foundation and I created a great Formation around it that would serve as my fortress. You will not be able to penetrate through in a short amount of time, even if you have the help of a thousand gods."

Rowan arched his brows, "Are you sure about that."

Dao Ma sneered, "You may have defeated me, but if you think you can quickly kill me, then you are mistaken, among all the gods, I am the most troublesome to kill precisely because of the presence of this Divine Treasure."

Rowan was quiet and he grabbed down with a large Telekinetic hand and attempted to scoop a portion of this Divine metal that resembled flowing green mercury. The Telekinetic hand reached the surface of the Maelstrom and as the fingers of the hand attempted to push into the maelstrom, it was torn apart.

Rowan frowned, not only was this Vorpal Metal incredibly dense, but its speed of rotation was very fast, and before he could push his hand through it to collect even a drop, his attempt was thwarted.

'Interesting treasure. I have never heard of it like before.' Rowan thought.

'This universe was indeed filled with wonders, and even after a million years, he knew he would hardly be able to understand all of it. No, that would be the wrong way of thinking. He was considering this problem just like a mortal or a god would. If he seeded enough worlds in the universe, he would be near-omniscient and omnipresent, there would be nothing inside this universe he would not be able to understand.'
