373 Splitting Time
Due to Andar's Awakening, and the Primordial Aether he collected it was just enough to wake Rowan up for a brief moment, only for ten seconds, but in that short span of time, he was able to understand and formulate the plans he needed using all the information he understood at a single glance when he peered at Eva.
He did not need to ask her for any details, he simply stripped all the memories in her head and assimilated them.
The first thing he did was to call upon his Knowledge Well, he had made this unique chamber to analyze every portion of his life, deciphering spells and techniques and finding new unique methods of countering or even utilizing them, and his persistence and forethought were not in vain, as he saw a great use for it.
It came from the memory of the Primordial Record when it sliced off a portion of an entire timeline and placed it inside a page. Such acts of reality-warping powers were especially high on his list of investigations and he wanted to understand how those abilities worked, so if possible he could counter them or even control them.
Of course, Rowan was far away from any such powerful workings, but Knowledge Well had learned a lot about utilizing time from observing and learning from that scene. He was able to duplicate a minor fragment of the ability he witnessed, perhaps not even a fragment, it just served as a source of inspiration, and calling in the time-based abilities hidden deep inside his Ouroboros Bloodline with the knowledge he gained from Ohrox, The Demon Prince of Destruction's Origin Treasure—Tower of Greed.
Knowledge Well made it possible for him to collect such diverse knowledge and use them for his benefit.
Using an enormous amount of Aether and Essence, he took that ten seconds that was granted to him and shredded it into ten portions, and he extended one portion into ten seconds while saving the remaining nine portions.
He would be using the remaining nine portions of these ten seconds and rousing himself every month or if any uncalled emergency was to come up. He had effectively stretched ten seconds of consciousness into one hundred seconds, and for the present Rowan, ten seconds was a lot of time.
Such as Upgrading his Ouroboros Bloodline.
He understood that what was placing him in a state of lethargy was his physical body's inability to process the soul of a god that was merged with billions of souls.
During his time devouring Erohim's soul, he came across countless memories, and some of them pointed out some crucial clues he was able to piece together.
Erohim was not just used as a stable source of Battle Stimulants at first, that ended up being the only thing he could be used for when the main purpose of his capture had failed.
At first, Erohim was to be used to create an Aura Field. This was a new concept that he came across and he searched through all the memories he had gathered and he was able to understand its uses and purpose.
An Aura Field was a necessary ingredient for any second Circle Dominator to Ascend to the Third Great Circle. It was controlled by the current ruling Royal Family and every god of Trion was looking for methods to create Aura Fields outside the bounds of the Empire.
An Aura Field had begun to touch the realms of the Soul. Yet the gods had only a rudimentary control of it. They were all aware of souls and their mystical powers, but they could not control it. Somehow a special location in Trion allowed them to gather an enormous amount of Souls, and for a Dominator to reach the Third Great Circle it involved using the vast energies produced by those souls.
The gods were lucky to find such a powerful tool to gather souls, else the bloodline civilization of the gods of Trion would not have been possible, and the God King would never have been able to create Dominators.
Yet Rowan knew this was most likely a hidden gift from his father, for as far as he could tell, his father was the only one who had a piece of more in-depth knowledge and an elementary control over souls in the entire galaxy as far as Rowan knew, maybe the Supreme Worlds had methods to control souls, but he could not tell yet.
The gods searched for various methods to stimulate the process of gathering souls and creating their own Aura Fields, because this was one of the methods the God King used in controlling them, and gaining control of an Aura Field was effectively gaining independence.
Boreas came up with an idea to use the immortal soul of a god as a sort of glue to catch the souls of the mortals who worshiped that god.
It was an imaginative approach, but he failed. The immortal soul was able to trap the souls of the mortals but it failed to produce the unique energies of an Aura Field. The only benefit he gained was Erohim's peculiar essence that had mutated due to billions of mortal souls stuck inside, making it easier to create Blue Iron, the Battle Stimulant.
This mutated soul was also the reason Rowan fell into slumber for an extended period of time, as digesting the soul proved to be more problematic than he could have ever anticipated.
Yet he knew that his bloodlines could enhance the capabilities of each other, an example was his Ouroboros Bloodline that had been mixed with his Consciousness Pillars generated from his Avatar of Eve Bloodline, strengthening them.
He could strengthen his Pillars and also drastically increase his Attributes by seeding worlds, thereby reducing his time in slumber by a considerable amount.
With the few seconds he had, Rowan gave an order to his body and his World Engine Bloodline Talent began to slowly hum into life.
As of this moment he had monumental amounts of essence he was not using, and he could begin creating World Seeds even when he was unconscious. For the delivery, he left it to Eva.
