Chapter 512 The Nine Supreme Circles The dominators of the first Great Circle had Four States of Change: Mortal, Legendary, Rift, and finally Incarnation. A Mage also began their path to power as Mortals, before Awakening their Spirit Matrix and becoming an Acolyte, which was equal to a Legendary. A peak Rank 3 Acolyte was equal to a peak Legendary, and when the Acolyte became a Mage, it was equal to a Dominator Ascending to the Rift State, a Rank 2 Mage was equal to an Incarnation State Dominator, and a Rank 3 Mage was equal to a peak State Incarnation Dominator. Rowan was surprised about how much Dominators, well… dominated Mages at this early stage of power, but when he knew that this power system was equal to that of an Empyrean, he understood why that was so. Of course, this all depends on the talent and bloodline of both parties. Andar was a Rank 3 Acolyte and Rowan doubted if there were any Legendary Dominators that could battle him. With Andar's stores of Aether and his control over every single element, joined alongside his Talents granted by his Meditation Art, he could easily slaughter Incarnation State Dominators, which were equal to Rank 3 mages. Although Andar was not a warrior, he doubted that even a Rank 3 Mage could withstand a lightning storm the size of a city thrown at them. Of course, Andar did not realize how powerful he was as he did not even think of battle. This talent of his was equal to that of Fury Kuranes and might even surpass that arrogant Dominator in a manner, because of how versatile Andar's talents were. Rowan did not even try to compare them with himself, until now, he had not seen anyone his equal in the same level. Technically he was still a Rift State Dominator or as a Mage he would be at Rank 2, but yet he could already kill gods. But that was because, if the pool of power everyone had available to them was a cup, Andar would be a deep pool or a small stream and Rowan would be an endless ocean. It was no wonder why he would have to feast on an entire universe if he ever wished to reach the peak. At the second Great Circle a Dominator would go through the Spirit Territory Realm, the Incandescent Realm, and finally the Proclamation Realm, all these were equal to the Rank 4, Rank 5, and Rank 6 Realm as a Mage. Rowan had discovered that his power system had shifted when he got to the second great circle with his second bloodline. His Realm was not divided, it was just one single Circle, just the same as an Empyrean. It would seem he no longer walked on the path of the Great Circle but followed the Empyrean path of the Nine Supreme Circles. If he used that path, then he was at the First Supreme Circle in his Ouroboros Bloodline and the Second Supreme Circle in his Nascent Primordial Bloodline—Sheol. He did not have to complete his entire Territory to ascend to the Third Supreme Circle for he could easily jump to that stage, as there was nothing truly stopping him from Ascending to the Third Circle at this time, but that would be a waste of his potential. If he was any other Empyrean, then his foundations would already be beyond robust, and they would have not wasted any more time and jumped to the Third Circle, as waiting to accumulate more foundations would be a waste of time. Rowan had once calculated how long it would take him to fill up his entire Territory if he was not using Soul Energy, and the barest minimum ran from tens of millions of years to hundreds of millions. Even if he could extend his lifespan by Seeding worlds, he doubted he would be patient enough to withstand such a long span of time while staying at a single level, and would have elevated himself after a few million years, that is if he was not killed long before then. The Third Great Circle had two Stages, Cinder Spark which was equal to a Rank 7 Mage, and Pyre Lord which was equal to a Rank 8 Mage. Before the battle on Jarkarr, a Pyrelord was the highest level most Dominators were allowed to reach, and there were only seven Earth gods which equated to a Rank 9 Mage. The fourth Great Circle, simply titled Earth God, is a creature closer to Divinity. A Mage on the verge of becoming an Archmage. Rowan knew that at this time there were now hundreds of Earth gods already on Trion. These were not the standard weak Earth gods, instead, the Earth Gods of Trion were as strong as Rank 9 Mages, and judging from the powers of the average Earth gods Rowan had butchered in the tens of thousands while battling Dao Ma, a Dominator who was an Earth God would be hundreds of times stronger. Rowan knew why his father wanted him, it was just for the Primordial Record, but why would he take his time to create such a powerful power system that was equal to that of a Supreme World? His mother had told him his father was bound by certain rules, what rules were those? However, with this new information he was digesting, It did not take long for him to figure out a certain pattern in his father's actions. Previously on Jarkarr, he surprised his father with an ambush. That old bastard had been very content with using proxies, and he stood back and let other people perform his dirty work. Rowan did not think it was because he was lazy, far from it, he still accurately recalled the memory of his father trying to break through to the Material Universe, he had spent countless eternities trying to figure out the method to enter this plane of existence. A creature like that was beyond the mortal weakness of laziness, there must be something holding him back all these while, and on Jarkarr Rowan had showed his fangs. There was no way his father would allow him to escape from him one more time, then that would mean his old man would no longer be using proxies, or if he was going to use them, it would be his best–The gods of Trion.
