The Primordial Record

Chapter 1050: Crafting Natal Treasure (final)



Rowan made sure his forging plans were perfect, rechecking them again and again even when he knew everything was up to standards. It was not because he was nervous, he was only looking out for unexpected events, one could never be careful enough.

His mental space would not be able to hold the portion of his consciousness but a Natal Treasure should be able to do so, and what was impressive about Natal Treasures was that you could gain multiple Natal Treasures at higher ranks, but you could only have one mental space, this granted Explorers a great advantage over most creatures in Reality outside Doom

Star.

At the Glorious Rank, he would only be getting one Natal Treasure, and at the Legend Rank, he would be getting three Natal Treasure, although Rowan had a separate plan in mind.

Leaving his mental space, Rowan directed the Shiik towards the rest of the fleet trapped around the sea of calamities, while he closed his eyes and focused on creating his first Natal Treasure.

Normally this process should be done after becoming a Glorious Ascendant, but he had all the capabilities to start now, and what he was creating was both delicate and complex while still under a crushing time constraint.

His cells were filled with Ascendant Energy and his Mental Space was primed, and due to the fact that he had been the one to forge his mental space with his own hands, Rowan's access to it was not limited to just seeing the insides, but outside the mental space itself, to the myriad of lights that resembled shooting stars that made up the material of a Mental Space.

To forge his Mental Space, Rowan had first manipulated these lights to create its nascent structure, now he was going to take this manipulation one step further and begin integrating the Ascendant Aura with his mental space from the outside.

This was necessary because his consciousness was so heavy it needed all the restraints he was able to create for it. The work was relatively easy for him, he had planned the structure of his Natal Treasure long before now, and as the Shiik roamed around the continent destroying multiple fleets of warships, Rowan placed the Ascendant energy in good use and continued the forging of his Natal Treasure.

There was no Ascendant Explorer around, and Rowan suspected that any move an Ascendant made under the light of the Calamity suns would lead to a new and more dangerous outcome. With the greatest Explorers around being at the Deific Rank, the Shiik reigned unopposed.

Reaching the acceptable standards he had made for processing the Natal Treasure, he began allowing the Ascendant Aura to touch his mental space and watched the changes it made. At first, the Aura wanted to change the structure of the Mental Space into a new pattern, but when it recognized that the patterns had already been created and although the patterns it could find were vastly exaggerated but still fit in the rules of this plane, the Ascendant Aura began to infuse alongside the patterns Rowan had made.

Outside his body, a faint blue glow began to arise, and his figure that was sitting down cross- legged was slowly raised into the air, carried by a cushion of Ascendant Aura, before long, the faint blue glow surrounded him and his figure was lost inside an orb of solid blue light that resembled a blue sun carried on the head of the Shiik.

The massive Calamity did not stop its rampage across the continent, and with every Ascendant Aura it gathered, all was funneled to the blue orb. This continued for hours until the Shiik finally stopped, returning to the facility in which it was born and there it rested its massive bulk like a mountain, against the Teleportation hub.

It no longer bothered fighting, the highest grade of Calamity that was born from the mist only reached the Legend Rank, and its Aura was enough to decimate all of them. Whether it was a flaw or a design, the Calamities born under the light of the Calamity Suns could not reach the Deific Rank.

With no higher-ranked Calamity to challenge, Rowan had no pool of resources to simulate the next evolution of the Shiik, and so the beast rested and waited for what was to come. It did not have to wait for too long.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

The blue orb resting overhead began to release a subtle hum, and it suddenly expanded and expanded again until it was more than a hundred feet in diameter. With a dull whoosh, the orb retracted, transforming into a stunning blue robe that covered the new body of Rowan.

No longer in the body of a youth but a fully grown man, Rowan opened his eyes, and he was also no longer just a Glorious Ranked Explorer he had shot directly into the Legend Rank reaching a level that would take other decades and centuries in mere hours. He did not acquire three Natal Treasures but had chosen to strengthen his first and what would be his only Natal Treasure.

This was a hidden option in the creation of Natal Treasures, but even if it was widespread, few would choose to take this path, because it could easily lead to the destruction of the Natal Treasure, crippling the Explorer for life.

No longer naked, Rowan touched his robes, this form of his Natal Treasure was one of the states it could take, and then he looked within himself, noticing that his mental space had vanished, his internals had also changed, his bones turning into a blue gemlike state, like his heart and brain, with the blood flowing in his body now glowing with a blue light.

Feeling his spirit shake, Rowan knew that the culmination of his plans was about to begin and he opened his eyes to receive his consciousness.

Around him was peaceful, covered by the Calamity Aura of the Shiik, no monster could come near him for miles, he sighed, releasing a tense breath as he waited for the descent.

It came as suddenly as a storm, one moment there was nothing around him, and the next he was surrounded by a universe made from gold.
