Chapter 173 Future Plans There was a storm of Aether blowing around the palace in a Circle, and unlike before when his Aether was snow-white, now these was black and purple and gave out an unearthly chill. The Storm of Aether blowing around the place was at least ten times the amount that was there previously. The angels stood still, and Rowan saw that his Aether was no longer being generated by his Mental Space, but from the wings of the angel. His senses returned to the Palace of Ice when he noticed something peculiar. There were two massive Corinthian Columns at the entrance of the palace of ice, and unlike the rest of the palace that consisted of black and purple ice, these two columns were forged from gold. Around the two columns were carvings of his Ouroboros Serpents, and they slowly crawled up and down the column, he immediately noticed his "senses" were originating from the column on the right. With a little effort of will, he split his mind in two, and noticed that his split mind originated from the column on the left. With the loss of his Soul, Rowan no longer had his Spirit Attribute, his ability to split his mind into as many streams as he wanted was now lost. In their place, he now had two columns that could serve as an alternative. He hoped that with the further growth of this bloodline, he would be able to manifest more columns, else the loss would be a bit too much. The palace itself and the Angels served as the representation of his bloodline, just the same way that the Serpents served as the representation of the Ouroboros bloodline. As he continued upgrading the Avatar of Eve bloodline, the palace would grow, and he would be able to unearth more of its abilities. Rowan mind left his mental space, and he returned the Ouroboros Serpents to his void hearts. He began walking slowly towards the direction of the convoy as he nudged his Spatial bracelet, and clothes materialized over his body. He finally called up his Primordial Record, and what he saw shook his soul, and he paused.

He must have expended almost a hundred thousand Soul points to upgrade the Soul Reaver Bloodline, and his sacrifice had paid off. He had a mysterious and powerful bloodline that needed ten thousand Soul points to be upgraded, all that really mattered however was if he could control this bloodline effectively, and before he could do that, he needed further information. His mind finally settled on the Avatar of Eve bloodline. The name of this bloodline was disturbing, and its power was no joke. If he had not learned the method of burning his inexhaustible vitality, then there would be no way he would be able to even begin upgrading this bloodline. He had always lamented his poor Spirit Attributes, now they were all gone, sacrificed to the Palace of Ice. He frowned before he calmed his raging thought, it was fair that when something as monumental as having a second Empyrean bloodline meant he lost something in return. He had lost something to gain another. Rowan realized that it was not the bloodline harming his body, he was still too weak to handle it, even with his Empyrean body. Rowan had a sudden thought; without the Ouroboros bloodline giving me an incredible physique, what sort of body would I have if I only had access to the Avatar of Eve bloodline? The answers came easily to him. He would have none. His existence would resemble those of a specter existing inside his Palace of Ice, maybe when he became powerful enough he would have been able to craft a shell for him to walk the material plane. Without the Ouroboros bloodline that could contain it, given that he had a Divine Mental Space, any other person would be destroyed by its power. As it is, they were bloodlines pursuing opposite directions, one towards the spiritual and the other physical, and he aimed to take them both to the pinnacle. Rowan's mind drifted to his Rift State Ability from the Ouroboros Bloodline—Absolute Body. He had an intuition that he would be able to safely upgrade this bloodline the moment he activated this Rift State Ability. To balance his bloodlines, he would always keep the Avatar of Eve bloodline a single level lower. It meant that presently his Ouroboros bloodline was at the peak of Legendary, he would upgrade the Avatar of Eve bloodline to peak Mortal State. The moment he broke through to the Rift State and activated his Rift State Ability from the Ouroboros bloodline, his body and Mental Space should be robust enough to hold the Avatar of Eve bloodline, then he would be able to upgrade it to an equal level with his first bloodline. Yet, it did not mean he would not be able to use this bloodline presently because Rowan was sure that even at the Mortal State with no Soul Points placed inside it was still powerful. Suddenly having the urge to check out the powers of his bloodline, he brought out the Sixth Ouroboros Serpent, and it took him to the skies looking for any beast horde. Rowan's mind flashed over to the Three Ouroboros Serpents he had sent to hunt down Scarvros. He had no doubt that Circe would have given his information to him for further investigation about history and Rowan could not allow that. He only stayed with the Convoy for three reasons, the first was to protect the innocent, mainly the children, for there was no way he would stand by and watch children die when he could change that. The second was that he needed information, and he was getting it. If not for his plans to kill Scarvros and activate his Soul Reaver bloodline which was now Avatar of Eve, he would be inside his mobile home reading. The third and most important reason was the Teleportation Station that should be present inside the underground city. With Circe's help, it would be an easy thing to get access to it.
