The Primordial Record
chapter-1094

The transformation of Young Po shook the entire society of the Blood Blessed. Standing at around twenty feet tall with muscles like metal, the golden giant's strength, speed, and overall constitution were ten times greater than his base state and some of its abilities could not even be measured such as his healing capabilities. Except for two blazing eyes containing golden flames, the rest of its facial features were blank, but anytime they wanted to speak, the mask would ripple and the lower part of the face would be exposed revealing a mouth filled with sharp golden poisonous fangs and a long bloody tongue.

This feature would instantly transform the golden giant that resembled a righteous figure of war into a terrifying demon. The fingers on the hands and toes could also be turned into wicked sharp claws blazing with golden flames that could shred both the material and the immaterial.

To display the power of this new transformation, Young Po battled against the top ten thousand warriors of the Blood Blessed at the same time and even with his inexperience, he defeated them all using sheer strength alone that shattered miles of hundred ground cavern and nearly collapsed a city above.

They had only managed to inflict tiny scratches on his golden body that vanished almost instantly. The eyes of every Blood Blessed shone with a glow that burned the air, if such powers were hidden in their bloodline, they could not only survive the Ascendants and Calamities, but there was no reason why they could not rule.

Young Po was brought to a secret location where he began to disclose how he was able to access the star in his heart, and soon the discovery of the seven-pointed golden star in all their hearts was revealed as a new path forward was discovered.

From that moment onward more and more Blood Blessed began to find the star in their heart and their transformation quickened. It was discovered that the transformation into the golden giant was just a start because after the first activation, one of the seven points of the star in their heart lit up and their bodies in the base state that could no longer grow stronger suddenly had room for improvement.

It did not take a genius to understand that activating a point in the star gives you room to grow stronger and when the body reaches a new limit, then another point in the star could be activated.

The excitement in the hearts of the Blood Blessed that had already reached the peak broke through once again, if they had six successive transformations to look forward to, what would they become when it was all complete? What sort of impossible power dwelled in their bloodline was a mystery that filled their minds in their every waking moment. This knowledge of the impossible potential of their bloodline brought another round of frantic development among the Blood Blessed, and although Rowan had left space for those who were not willing to pursue power, he had underestimated how much the desire to grow was in the heart of his children.

For nearly eight hundred thousand years they had been pressed down into the ground, tortured, vilified, and wiped out multiple times including many other harrowing atrocities, and with the awakening of their bloodline, even the babies in the wombs craved the strength to break the sky that held them shackled.

The Ouroboros Serpents were extremely prideful, and although Rowan had locked the mind-altering effects of his bloodline behind higher star- points they could unlock, it was impossible to hide the ferocity and majesty in their awakened bloodline that craved domination.

It was at the fifth month of Rowan's rest that another discovery was made inside a hidden outpost of the Blood Slaves, it turned out to be the home of Jerediah, leader of the Blood Slaves and inside of it, they discovered an ancient record which held a recount of the event that led to the creation of this continent.

The record was not complete, many parts were missing but what they discovered was eye-opening. It was said that a Divine Being in the form of an egg fell from the skies, and its glory made the entire realm shake, and the eyes of both Ascendancy and Calamity fell upon it with greed and fear because it contained a powerful potential for great power that each wanted for their own.

The world could not allow it to exist and the Divine Being was ambushed, not even allowed to be born, the Divine Egg shattered and the stillborn Divine Being battled against the heavens and the earth, it had six heads, and from its mouths came flames of blood and gold, but it was slain, its body shattered to pieces and it soul destroyed and its pieces were suppressed deep in the earth.

From the broken body of this Divine being they all arose the Blood Blessed, carrying portions of his bloodline, but even when this Divine being was killed, the world still feared his power and the work of the traitorous Blood Slaves was to ensure the Divine being was never resurrected because they said he was endless, which was the only description given of this Divine Being.

Also called the Endless Serpent, for this entire continent was just a small part of his body, and if it had been allowed to emerge in its full state, it could easily swallow the entire world.

At the end of the record was a rough portrayal of the Ouroboros Serpents, and even the sketch carried so much majesty and menace that every Blood Blessed fell to their knees and worshiped, unable to look directly at just the rough description of their primogenitor. Everything they had been feeling inside their bloodline finally had a focus and the Blood Blessed found their god.

A massive golden statue was created after the portrayal was unearthed, it was of six massive snakes wrapped around each other so it was impossible to see their entire length, on the heads of the snakes were crowns made from the bones of Calamities, and they didn't hide this massive ten thousand feet statue below the earth, but displayed it proudly at the center of their continent because, at this time, the number of Blood Blessed that could reach the first star in their heart had reached nearly a million.

If their giant form was equal to the power of an Ascendant as they hoped, then it meant they had a million Ascendants with more reaching this state every day. The confidence in defending their home and people was no longer a dream.

Although the continent was a forbidden ground, after nearly six months it was impossible that traces of what was happening in this forsaken land had not begun to spread.

The organization in charge of managing the Blood Bounds and whom the Blood Slaves were directly serving, Black Bolt had been gathering pieces of evidence in silence all this while and they had found enough shreds of evidence to conclude that something was very wrong on the continent.

Sending this information to the Council of Nine, a simple order was given, Extermination and Renewal.
