The Primordial Record
chapter-466

However before that time arrived, he would try to achieve as much as he could before he was expelled from the universe.

The second reason he was deeply concerned with growing his lifespan was because this was his true assurance to escape death if he was ever to be killed.

Killing him would be very difficult now because of his new bloodline, as his city of Sheol possesses features that even Rowan found incomprehensible. Since he had no soul, for any attack to truly kill him, they would have to crush his city first.

What sort of attack could destroy a Nascent Primordial Bloodline?

With Rowan's character, he would love to perform experiments to find out before he faced true danger so he could know the baseline of his immortality. How much damage could he safely sustain before he reached the edge of death? This would be the next goal for him when he battled the following set of gods.

Rowan knew that if he died, his Ouroboros Serpents would reach across time and resurrect him with the price being paid being his lifespan, of course, this ability was not foolproof, the stronger he got the more lifespan that would be consumed.

What he had to do was find a stable way to keep increasing his lifespan so he would not fall into the trap where he became too powerful to be resurrected, and the ability to seed worlds would be his primary focus in that Aspect.

Seeding World also increased his Attributes, but Rowan was sure that his growing lifespan would offset any powers he could gain. What cost him his lifespan when he resurrected was not his Attributes but his abilities.

What troubled him was that with his two new Supreme Aspects if he was going to be resurrection how much would they cost him? Pushing the Berserker Aspect to the Origin grade would not take a long time, and then he would pour his attention into this two Supreme Aspect.

He had been looking for a new weapon against his father, and now he had two. If the old man would expect his Berserker Aspect then he would shock him with two new Supreme Aspects and take his head.

Rowan knew his next battle would not be simple, he had bloodied the nose of the near twice, and the next time they met, only one of them would leave the battlefield alive.

His growing Attributes still made him smile. In the end, he was able to finish Dao Ma off quickly enough because every time he used Eruption, his base of power became greater, and more force would be generated.

Eruption was a powerful ability but it could not turn trash into treasure if there was nothing there to boost. The container for using such a tyrannical ability like Eruption must be particularly sturdy and powerful.

If Rowan's Attribute was similar to a mortal or a legendary, using Eruption for the barest fraction of an instant would turn him to dust and even if he could survive, it would not give him any much benefit, most likely pushing his Attributes to the thousands, which was shocking, but ultimately meaningless in the larger scale of things.

Using Eruption when the total of his Attributes was nearing a million gave him more bang for the buck.

Rowan now had a new power from using the Tower of Greed and devouring all the Berserker Tribulation, which was surprisingly a passive skill.

Berserker Intent!

This was a power that was meant for godlike beings, and he should not have access to it until he had reached the Origin Grade in the Berserker Aspect. But after consuming all the power and knowledge inside the Tribulation he gained access to this power.

Rowan hurriedly went through the rest of the changes, including the increase in his Eruption Skill which now stood at an impressive 41%, nearly double what he had before the battle with Dao Ma, but he noticed that the growth of Eruption grew more difficult the higher it got.

His Soul Crystals were still growing and their speed of processing was getting faster, going by this speed he could complete digesting the god in about a month.

Rowan closed the Primordial Record and returned it to its place among the leaves of his Tree of Desire. He opened his right hand and before long it was filled with red particles that resembled maggots.

They crawled all over his palms and the display of thousands of bloody maggots squirming in his hand would make the stomach of a mortal churn. From the knowledge he got from consuming the Tribulation, different Intents came with their grades, differentiated by color.

There were five different grades for Intent, from lowest to the highest; they were Yellow, Black, Silver, Platinum, and finally Purple.

An Intent at the Black grade was still extremely powerful, for most Intents would only fall at the Yellow grade, such as those of Dao Ma. It was the reason Rowan could easily cut through Dao Ma's Intent because his own was fundamentally stronger.

The Berserker Intent not only gave him the ability to reinforce every move he made including his speech, and he could literally command anyone weaker than him to kill themselves using Intent and they would do so, it also increased his direct combat abilities, but as Rowan discovered when he was battling Dao Ma, Intent could run out, and a bit of time needs to pass before it could regenerate.

Intent at the Black Grade was thrice as abundant as those on the Yellow Grade and could regenerate faster. This was another power he would need to understand to make full use of.

It was the reason a god would never use their Intent carelessly, it was one of their most powerful weapons, and if it was pushed to the limits, Intent would be able to affect reality, bending it to favor the will of the user.

Rowan looked ahead and a confused scribe who seemed to have lost her way stumbled into his room holding an apple. Rowan waved his hand and made her vanish to the other end of the castle before she exploded due to being in his presence.

The Apple fell on his open palm, and Rowan's eyes squinted in thought. When he manifested his Intent at this time, he was experimenting with it, he gave an unlikely command for an Apple to be delivered to him.
