Chapter 2007: The Living Codex ORIGIN REALMS. It has been a hundred thousand years from the moment the Agreement that would decide the fate of Existence was made. For mortals and lesser immortals, a hundred thousand years was a fairly long time. A lot of changes had happened in the 10,008 Origin Realms, but for Eos, these years had all been devoted to a single thing. Readying himself to become a Primordial. The Abomination was correct in its theory. Eos had never believed that the answer to change Existence lay in the Primordial Record. It was an extremely powerful aid, there could be no doubt about it, but Eos knew that the true source of his power must be based on himself and not the Primordial Record. During the battle with the Primordial, Eos began to evolve, and the evolution process took a hundred thousand years to complete. This was not a long time, because without the aid of the Primordial Record, this process would have taken a thousand times longer. Previously, the Singularity had been the bridge that accelerated the transfer of power throughout his body and soul, accelerating his evolution and ascension, and this feature had accelerated after it was unlocked by his Incarnation. Eos valued this feature of the Singularity more than the plentiful Origin Essence that it contained, which greatly annoyed the Primordial Record. Eos did not have to be a genius for him to understand why the Singularity was greatly upset. It was supposed to be the greatest tool in Existence, not because it was the most powerful, but because by chance and design, it held the greatest storehouse of power since the time of the Luminious. Knowing the true history of its maker, Eos could see the reason why a Singularity like the Primordial Record could only be created by these groups. In the past, one of the reasons why Existence had relatively few powerhouses was because of the presence of the Luminious, who had taken a great chunk of the available Origin Essence and made it their own. Because they did not innovate or push for greater changes with their Origin powers, the power of Creation grew weak, and End slowly took charge over Existence while the Luminious watched from their high thrones, believing they were too powerful to ever be affected by these changes. Now, after all the chaos and changes that had swept Existence, including the fall of the everlasting Luminious and the rise of End, a Singularity had been created that held the potential to decide how everything would fall into place, and its owner... could not even care to use it for that purpose. Presently, Eos was situated in the central Origin Realm, and it was called the Prime Axis. When Eos created the bridge that linked all of these Origin Realms, he made sure that this Realm was the central point where all other Realms rested. With this bridge, the entire Realms began to rotate and revolve around this central realm. The Prime Axis was the important Origin Realm here because from this Realm, Eos could control all the other Realms, send armies, and understand every single change happening across all the Origin Realms. Just because he claimed that his enemies could fight and claim these Origin Worlds, which was the truth, did not mean he would make this process easy or quick. He was determined to bleed them to death, and when they were reeling, he would go for the throat. The Prime Axis is the center of the Origin Realms, and through the connections he had made, the realm that once resembled an ocean world had transformed into something born of the mind of a god of craft and metal. Now structured into three vast concentric rings around a central pivot, his throne, which was that rock that had been with him since he was a mortal. These three vast rings were connected to the other Origin Realms via bridges that Eos had built from the Origin Essence of Space itself. This meant that anyone could instantly transmit from one Origin Realm to another. These vast rings were filled with alien architecture, stretching into great cities teeming with immortal beings at the eighth-dimensional level, for only this level of power could come close enough to where Eos resided. They created a capital city, which was the seat of the Primordials and where all the affairs governing the Origin Realms were decided. The war to end all wars was coming, and the three rings surrounding the central pivot were constantly abuzz with activities, and the bridges linking to it were always flashing as materials and people were being transported all over the Realms. Since each realm could be considered infinite for lower-dimensional immortals, the amount of resources being transported was mind-boggling, but this was the least requirement for a war of this scale. On this central pivot, Eos sat crossed-legged, and surrounding him were 10,008 Incarnations. All of them were linked to him by tiny strands of Origin Essence, and at the moment, all of their eyes were closed as if they were asleep, but now and then, pulses of power would emerge from Eos’s body and travel through these threads into the bodies of the Incarnation, and they would shake a bit before they settled. Eos had created many Incarnations in his lifetime, but this was the greatest incarnation project he was going to make. He was not going to just make any average Incarnation; he was going to make Incarnations who would become Primordials. The pulse of power emerging from his body was from the Origin Essence he had mastered, and he was transferring that knowledge and power to these Incarnations, and this process was made monumentally easy with the assistance of the Primordial Record. The Central Pivot could not be seen with either the eyes or the senses; even the Primordials would only see a vertical line of pure potentiality that sliced across all the realms. It was as if the central pivot was at the center of the Origin Realms while also enclosing it. For the lower-dimensional immortal, they only saw a column of iridescent light stretching from the bedrock of the world into the infinite zenith. Their first taste of what true infinity would be like was by looking at this column of light and knowing that at the center of it was the Creator. So much of these changes were happening without his direct supervision, and Eos knew they were in capable hands; his job was to ensure that the sacrifices of those who believed in him were not wasted. As he worked, the Primordial Record flashed him a message, and Eos sighed, before he pushed the message aside for the moment; he needed to complete this task first.

When Rowan had unlocked it, like the Origin Essence he had unleashed, he did not seek to control the Singularity and had allowed it to choose the direction it sought to grow, and the Primordial Record had chosen to be the Living Codex. However, Eod did not know if he wanted to accept this change, because if he did, the Primordial Record would permanently fuse with him, and its consciousness would vanish.
