Chapter 534 Fate or Blind Luck?
Rowan was delighted at this new application of his Intent and in fact, this was the chief reason he had been able to make it inside the Divine Kingdom of Murrihm, The Star Gazer.
Rowan had filled Murrihm's Divine Body with Intent and infused that Intent inside every single fiber of the god's body.
Of course, such an intense violation of the flesh would lead to the death of most creatures, including a god, he had expected all that.
Yet, a god could remake their flesh easily with their Divine Essence, and the true tyranny of the Berserker Intent at the Origin Stage showcased itself, for although Murrihm spent time in the void trying to get over the violation of his flesh inflicted in the hands of Rowan, once he had remade his body however, Rowan Intent returned with his new flesh.
Intent was a power that could not be treated with any common sense, even through the destruction of the body, it still followed the new one that was made. Rowan was very clear about this usage of Intent, perhaps more than even the gods themselves.
His Berserker Intent at the Silver Grade was not the same as the Immortal Intent of Chaos that could not be destroyed, they could still be destroyed by those with equal Intent, but Murrihm, The Star Gazer had an Intent at the Yellow Grade, the lowest grade of Intent, and he had succeeded in purging his Intent from his body, but it was already too late.
It was not an easy task for Mirrihm to purge this Intent with his Yellow Grade Intent, but being inside his Divine Kingdom would make his Intent regenerate quickly and he could handle the strain of purging such a high-grade Intent from his body.
This was the normal process that happened after every fight between godlike beings and was usually the start of the recovery process.
Two factors worked against the god's favor, his Intent was at the Yellow Grade, and even if he could purge Rowan's Intent from his body, he could not easily destroy it as it would take a long amount of time for him to do so. This means Rowan's influence could still persist after a while, even inside his Divine Kingdom.
The second factor that led to this point was that Rowan had access to Astrolabe. This unique Chamber with its ability to Fast Travel to any location Rowan was currently laying his eyes on, with his Ascension to the Second Supreme circle, this Chamber became more powerful and many more times faster than before.
Rowan could not do much with the Intent Murrihm had purged from his body, but he could do one simple thing with his Intent after he had queried Eva if that was a possibility and she agreed that it would work.
Rowan could create an Eye from his Intent and he could see wherever this god was currently at.
For any other god, doing something like this against their enemies was useless, what was the use of seeing inside the Divine Kingdom of their enemies? Without the exact location of this place, it would be impossible to infiltrate it, but Rowan was not like them, he had Astrolabe as his transporter, and his Intent inside the Divine Kingdom of Murrihm—The Star Gazer as his destination.
"Come on… come on," Murrihm hastily called out towards the swirling portal, his mind going over the events that had led to this calamity.
He had been tasked with understanding an abnormality at the edge of the galaxy, a problem that most of them ascribed to Dao Ma, as they all knew the wily god was on the edge of Ascension, and maybe the silence at the edge of the galaxy was a way for him to keep his Ascension secret, and prevent any third party from harming his interest.
Yet such actions were too drastic for Dao Ma to accomplish alone, and without sufficient reason, no one would believe something was not up besides his Ascension, but wary of the wrath of a newly emerged Major god, they all agreed to send Murrihm who could easily infiltrate into anywhere to check up on this mystery.
When Murrihm came closer to the edge of the Galaxy, he had indeed felt a fragmented Aura of an Eternal Flower, furthering his assumptions that this peculiarity here was due to Dao Ma, and he had nearly retreated, not wanting to anger a new Major God, but then he detected something else, which was screams, pain, and fear… intense fear.
Looking back now, that should have been the moment he should have escaped, but he had been alarmed and yet very curious, this sort of fear was alarming because it was the kind of fear that only a god was capable of making.
A god was mostly fearless, their immortality guaranteed that unless they were imprisoned, even true death with the destruction of their Divine Spark would not last for long, as in the future they would soon resurrect.
It was indeed a very difficult thing to make a god feel fear, and yet the fear he was sensing was so… total, it was almost incomprehensible to him, and so Murrihm entered deeper, collecting more data along the way.
That was until he reached the location where Rowan battled Dao Ma, and he almost screamed in fear himself when he noticed the thick Aura of fear in this location, and worse still it was a familiar fear, it was from Dao Ma.
At this moment, Murrihm unequivocally understood that Dao Ma was dead, and not a normal sort of death, something much worse. That was what his instincts was screaming at him, although his Divine Mind knew such things were impossible, the Aura was complete fear here was impossible to ignore.
With anxiety in his heart, he attempted to retreat but it was too late.

Something peculiar had happened when Murrihm neared this location, either by the stirring of Fate or just dumb luck, the Star Gazer had been able to pass Rowan's host of Angels without being detected or himself detecting them because he arrived precisely during the moments when Rowan had pulled all his consciousness into the Ancient Library!
When his consciousness was pulled out of the body of his patrolling Angels, they reverted into a state that was closer to rock, and no sign of life could be detected from them, in fact, Murrihm had passed by a dozen Angels thinking they were nothing else but specially shaped space rocks.
