The Primordial Record

Chapter 1245: Passion Of The Craft (1)



The word Nemesis almost made the soul flame crumble, and it was with great effort he stayed at the surface of the memory and did not dip its toes deeper into the unfathomable depths

that were Rowan's memories.

Rowan was waking up, and the soul flame in the last moments of its existence had an extremely rare opportunity to glimpse into the mind of this waking titan and understand a bit about his existence.

In Rowan's expansive memories, names would usually come with the understanding of every subject they represented. Like an encyclopedia containing every knowledge in the endless universes, every single word in Rowan's memory had a weight that was unfathomable, and the soul flame had to be careful not to look deeply into the Abyss, at least not so deeply that it was instantaneously wiped out.

All it knew was that there was a sense of great hatred from Rowan towards the ruler of the Great Desert and surprisingly a fair bit of excitement as well. However, it was a shame that it could not learn more because of its qualifications.

It was easy to simply watch him weave.

What the soul flame could glean about the Great Desert was that this was the place where the Memory of every higher dimensional immortal was shackled after their essence and Will had been wiped out.

The Great Desert was linked to every dimension in reality, from the lower three-dimensional reality like the universes, to higher dimensions like Supreme Worlds. Created by the Primordials, Nemesis held the memories of every slain powerhouse from the beginning of time.

The soul flame could guess why the ruler of the Great Desert might have issues with Rowan, after all, the Primordial Keepers were one of its servants.

Without the Great Desert regulating the resurrections of higher dimensional immortals, then they would always be resurrected in the future using their memories, and Nemesis watched over all of reality and plucked the Memories of those higher dimensional immortals from all of time and space when a particular set of conditions were met.

From the beginning of his existence, Rowan was destined to be the antithesis of this place. Even as a mortal, his soul had been able to flee the grasp of death, cross an entire universe, and evade the capture of the Primordial Keepers, and now entering the higher dimension, Rowan was once again going against the interest of Nemesis by the sheer fact that he did not fall under any category under creation.

His existence was a part of reality and yet it was also distinctly separated, and that separation meant that Nemesis had no hold over his Memories. Of course, there was more to the reason for this great hatred between Rowan and Nemesis, but that was everything that the soul flame could learn before it had to simply focus on the last memories it could witness before it faded away.

It knew that this memory was the last thing that Rowan did before he killed himself. There were a million other great things he had been doing in the past, but this was his final act before the great darkness, and this was what the soul flame needed to see.

Like thrash around Rowan were discarded pieces of treasures, all of them thrumming with incredible power, but they were not what he needed for his battle against the Primordial Keepers so he placed them aside, and any one of these treasures would lead to a war among higher dimensional beings if they came across it, because all of them were Proto-Source level treasures!

Rowan found it a bit embarrassing that with his capabilities, it took him millions of years to understand the method of crafting treasures of this grade, and he knew that even if he succeeded, he would be crafting the least form of this treasure, but it was more than enough to ensure he gained what he wanted.

He had all the technical competency to craft treasures that could reach the peak of reality, but as always what held him back was his dimensional level, he had to use tricks and props to aid him in his crafting, but he knew that he would never succeed in mastering Source grade crafting if he did not reach the seventh dimension.

In the third-dimensional universe, the treasure grading went from Mortal, Refined, Earth, Heaven, Transcendent, Immortal, and Origin. This was the treasure power level that was accepted by the universe and anything higher than this had to be forcefully brought into the universe by higher dimensional immortals who would be maintaining the weight of those treasures in the lower realms.

A mere God King or Archmage could not wield any treasure higher than the Origin Grade or they would be crushed under its weight.

The Tower of Greed, one of Rowan's ultimate treasures while he was still in the lower realm, was an Origin Grade Treasure with the potential to become much more powerful if completed.

This treasure had a great history and he had been able to understand that the potential of this treasure paired with his dimensional flesh went beyond what Ohrox, Demon King of Destruction could have ever envisioned for it, and for a majority of his journey through Time, Rowan had been upgrading the Tower with the materials he came across.

Rowan had finalized this treasure, and he pushed the Tower of Greed to its present eighteenth floor. This was the greatest level he could bring it with his current power, and it was barely a Source-level treasure, but one that was so unique that only with his dimensional flesh could The make full use of its capabilities.

In the background, barely visible was a gigantic tower that seemed to be made out of bone. It was ephemeral and would easily be dismissed if one did not have deep attainment in the dimension of Time.

This tower was so massive that it covered the entire dimension of Ganem Prime, sheltering it from the storms of reality, because Ganem Prime was not supposed to exist, and outside of this Tower, it would return into the grasp of the Great Desert.

Outside the Universe, the scaling of treasure took another step forward, and it went from Apocalypse, Dominion, Proto-Source, and finally Source grade treasures.

At this level, all treasures begin to gain a form of sapience, and depending on the immortal wielding the treasure, they could choose to encourage that intelligence or snuff it out, because there were advantages and disadvantages to allowing a treasure to gain a will of its

own.

There were countless tales told about treasures abandoning their owner for another immortal after being painstakingly created using all the resources that the creator could spare and at their birth, these treasures disdained their creator and abandoned them, there were also tales of treasures that fought beside their owner till the end, and even after the owner passes, they continued to serve their bloodline and protect their interest for all eternity.

Rowan generally encouraged the intelligence of his crafting as he could generally shape their personalities from the beginning of his creation because of how in-depth his crafting processes usually were, and as a creator, he abhorred the thought of snuffing out a growing mind because of fear of their future choices.
