Chapter 1894: Missing Pieces For a long time, Eos had viewed the Primordial Record as an unbiased witness to history; it was more akin to a force of nature, taking no sides and fulfilling its function when called upon to do so. The Singularity had its own personality, and over time, Eos had come to understand and appreciate its remarkable strength and seemingly infinite potential for growth and evolution. He remembered his first encounter with the Singularity in Trion, which occurred a few hours after his transmigration. Eos had been peering at the moonlight, and the Primordial Record had reawakened by the light of the moon. From that moment onward, the Primordial Record was a mystery that Eos had been slowly discovering about. Eos was like an ant that gained access to a supercomputer, and his only advantage was that he was an ant who could evolve with the power of the supercomputer, slowly growing stronger and getting closer to understanding this power. It was inevitable that his connection with the Primordial Record would become his closest companion during the journey of his growth, and Eos knew that if this Singularity was linked to the Primordials, then his every action had been predicted. It was a despairing thought, but Eos could not shake the fact that it was the truth. However, Eos was no longer a child who naively believed that existence owed him everything. He was not a special boy who had everything handed to him on a silver platter, and when that boy discovered that that silver platter was not his to claim, he cried foul. He had learned in his long life that power, true power, was not given; it was taken! 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚 "My children of Origin," Eos addressed his bloodline avatars, "Take what you will from the Primordials, but do not kill them; they will be serving another purpose." He sent a series of commands to his Incarnation Rowan inside the living castle to push ahead with the plans to bring all of Reality under his grasp, and part of that plan was extinguishing Aether inside Eosah’s Reality. This action would kill Eosah, but before that could happen, he would need to harvest all the crucial parts of her that had been restricted from him for so long. If his hypothesis was correct, then the Primordial Record was not just a Singularity; it was the storehouse of the most incredible power in existence! Think about it, the Primordials were already so powerful, and they had access to only a single stream of Origin Force inside their bodies. How many Origin Forces were in existence? Eos could not tell, because Origin Forces were both unique and mundane, from the Origin Force of Light to the Origin Force of Primordial Ascension, technically, there could be an infinite number of these Origin Forces, and if the Primordial Record contained everything, or was a window to accesss all of that power, then if he was correct, the power inside the Primordial Record was the key to become the ruler of all existence. Apart from Enoch, the Primordials, and maybe even Death, Eos should be the fourth party that may have just discovered this great truth. The timeline for his preparation to face the Primordials has to be accelerated. Still, it meant that the Primordial Record had to be taken away from his body; otherwise, the Primordials, using an unknown method, might discover his plans. But did he need to take this step? It may sound insane that Eos was thinking in this manner, but he did not want to get rid of the Primordial Record despite the risk and all the dangers it had brought him. Eos had merged deeper with the Primordial Record and was nearly infected by the trap laid by Enoch inside the black book. In that moment, he fully realized that the Primordial Record may be far important than he had given it credit. Why else would a being that seemed to exceed the power of the Primordials be interested in it? Eos did not underestimate the enemies he was up against and realised that, with all the evidence on the ground, the Primordials might have an idea that he had discovered the truth. The time when he believed that his enemies were a bit weaker than him in certain areas was gone; they were most likely stronger than him, with advantages that were greater than his own. They were brilliant, and Eos could imagine that the Primordials may have left many clues for him to be able to figure it out on his own, and Eos had to ask himself this question: Who was playing whom in this grand game? At this moment, several parties were vying for the ultimate prize of becoming the most powerful. Eos did not think that the Primordials and Enoch were on the same page. From the memories he had collected from the Primordials over the years, he knew that Enoch had betrayed the Primordials when he did not tell them the curse that emerged from feasting on Realities. With his Will of Truth, Eos could decipher the truth from the many clues he had gathered. The Primordial Record was the tool that Enoch used to collect all the Origin Forces from the shattered Realities, and the Primordials were his beasts of burden that were used to achieve these goals. Enoch had promised the Primordials power, and knowing how deals at this level worked, he must have given the Primordials the tools they needed to attain these goals, and they must have had to do something for him as payment. What Eos could not determine was whether the agreement from the start was based on deception or if something had gone wrong along the way, but he knew that the truth might emerge in the future. A game of deception and lies was being played here that was very dangerous. Eos knew that Enoch and the Primordials might be playing a game with him at the center. There were many mysteries surrounding the Primordial Record, and Eos was at the center of everything. He may not know the truth, but he ultimately understood that the Primordial Record was placed in his hands, and he was done being a pawn. If they believed he was a vehicle for their Will, then he would prove them wrong. The game was going to change. ® "Oh, he has discovered the truth; it took you long enough. You have the damned Will of Truth, and you are still so blind. Tch... if not for your stubbornness that keeps you in the game for so long, you would be nothing but a puppet." The voice of Enoch entered Rowan’s ears, who watched the vision being displayed in the air by him. However, Rowan felt dumb because he did not fully understand what Enoch meant by this revelation. He had seen the actions taken by his main body and noticed the moment of realization enter Eos’s eyes, but apart from that, he could not tell what had changed. Rowan could, of course, use the actions of his bloodline avatars and the orders that Eos was giving to the Incarnation of Rowan inside Reality to understand that his main body was drastically changing the game, but he could not discern the reason; they were not connected as they had been before. Enoch looked at him and grinned, knowing that Rowan was missing some important pieces to this puzzle, and licking his black lips, he said, "I can tell you the truth that you need, but you have to promise me something first."
