The Primordial Record

When Rowan had swept this weapon away from the Undying and sent it hurtling into the horizon, it was already traveling at many times the speed of light, and if Berrion had reacted immediately and say, froze Space/Time, maybe using his higher dimensional powers to bring back the memory of the weapon, he might have been able to stop it, but Berrion was still restricted by the power of the Primordial Weapon.

The same reason Rowan's Time Stack ability could not work on his Bloodline of Sheol to multiply his Soul cultivation, a Primordial weapon could not be manipulated by higher dimensional forces. It was simply too dense.

You could not freeze it in space/time or pluck it from a Memory, it could only be carried by those with great strength and mental fortitude. This was what made Astrolabe so valuable to Rowan at that moment, it only controlled pure speed and with the upgrades it had gotten, it could carry the Primordial Weapon.

Even after a million years, Rowan knew that Astrolabe still held this weapon, and when the time was right, he would summon this weapon to him, and in that manner, draw the Undying to him also, finally there would be recompense.

With the speed that Astrolabe had generated over a million years, it would be impossible to easily stop it, but with the shape of the Primordial Weapon firmly in his mind, a plan had been finalized.

Shisu bowed, his head scraping the ground, the presence of the Undying sweeping past and through him like a gale, and if not for his mental prowess, he would have gone insane and killed himself before he endured one more second beside the Undying

"I present to you the Mountain of Mourning. I am Shisu, the mortal heir of the Ascendant Sun Ganem. In return..."

"Yes... yes," the Undying drawled, a lazy tone in his voice, "I make you an Ascendant," bringing up a massive finger, "and not just any Ascendant, you greedy boy, you made sure you took note that the power of the Dan is involved. I cannot cheat you, even if I wanted to with this bargain."

Shisu nodded, his eyes brightened and grew wet and he nearly began crying, or had not been an easy road reaching this place, and he could not help but become emotional. The Undying looked at him with a weird sort of amusement as if he was looking at a bird with wings cut off who was trying to fly with the stumps, before muttering,

"Fucking mortals, I would never understand your kind."

Shisu regained his composure and straightened, coughing to hide his embarrassment, but the Undying was already looking away from him and surveying the dead kingdom.

"You do know that you only needed to kill your father to meet the requirement for our bargain. Not your entire kingdom, but this is okay, it gives me one path extra for you to follow, and I think you would love this path better than the ones I have prepared for you. After all, you are positively reeking of it."

It was then that Rowan sensed it again, and he nearly gasped in surprise and pleasure, now this was unexpected, and it might be even a greater treat than the sin weapon or the shape of the Primordial weapon in his head, he had finally felt the breath of the enigmatic second Singularity once more-The World Steele.

Rowan looked around before his sight focused on the green fog around the Undying, and he carefully peeled away the layers of fog around the Undying, but his subtlety turned out to be useless because Berrion simply reached towards his waist and took a large piece of yellow rock, similar to a slab.

Explosions went on in Rowan's mind and he nearly stumbled, as a fragment of a memory threatened to dig its way into his skull, but it would seem that he had not yet fulfilled the correct requirement and it faded away.

Yet it was simple for him to recognize a piece of the World Steele. Rowan did not know how it was possible, but Berrion was holding a portion of the World Steele on his waist, and the mysteries behind the power system of this world and how Rowan was connected with it took a step closer to completion.

The Undying took out the piece of the World Steele, holding it with reverence, even the mortal Shisu felt the power of what the Undying held and his eyes nearly bugged out of his head.

Pressing certain pertains on the Steele with one of his fingers, three orbs of light emerged from the Steele, the first was white, the second was black, and the last was colorless, and only the swirling haze it created by its presence made it possible to notice it.

"This first Will Orb is what I originally intended for you," the Undying pointed at the white orb, "It contains the pathway of your ancestor Ganem, and it is what led him to become an Ascendant Sun, it contains the Will of Heaven Trampling. This Will has a famed history that I can't recount to you, because you will not understand it, but I can assure you, even your Ancestor who became an Ascendant Sun could barely scratch the surface of this Will. Three of the Ascendant Suns use this same Will. It can take you far, but looking at your potential, it is extremely lacking and you should become a fifth-dimensional Will Holder with this Will. That means you will reach the second Dan."

Shisu eyes began to shine, achieving the Dan, even if it was the first Dan was everything he desired, if he could reach the second then that was overreaching his wildest dreams, he wanted to speak up, but Berrion shushed him,

"Are you forgetting that you have two other options? Hmm... Looking at your eyes, you are about to jump onto every opportunity I give you without checking all I have to offer... tsk tsk tsk, and here I thought you were some kind of genius, did watching your entire kingdom fall make you dumber?"

With a swipe of his hand, the Undying returned the Steele to his waist and dismissed the white and black orbs, leaving only the colorless orb behind,

"The second Will is similar to the first, but with your character and talent, you will only reach the second Dan, and I think this last one would fit you better."

Shisu swallowed his anger at his first option vanishing, but since the Undying had spoken he should listen, such a powerful being had no reason to deceive a small mortal like him,

"Why are you giving me only one option when you previously gave me three?"

The Undying chuckled, "It is because you always leave the best for last. Are you doubting me? Well, this last Will would take you all the way to the third Dan. Tell me, which one would you

pick?"

Shisu hands shook and he pointed at the colorless orb,

"I will pick that one."

"I thought so. It would be a waste if all your efforts here went to waste. The Will orb would enhance everything you give to it. I wish I knew how to create such a thing, but only this stone by my side can achieve this miracle. This kingdom is filled with hate, and if I gather it all into this orb, it would be enough to bring you to the sixth-dimensional level in time. Do you accept this bargain?"

Shisu's grin was so wide, and as tears dropped down from his eyes, he nodded furiously, "I

do!"
