Chapter 1178: Eyes Wide Shut



Ascendant Nyla entered the chamber and was met with the excited gaze of the Shiik, however, Nyla's eyes were not focused on this magnificent queen for long before it moved to the right where a heavenly being of light sat on a throne of golden flame, her jaws dropped open as it felt as if her mind was exploding, a buzzing in her ears that she soon identified as the Shiik brought her mind out of the daze she had fallen into,

".... Is it ready yet, I am tired of waiting!" the Shiik was tapping the side of her throne more furiously as she spoke, words flowing from her mouth in an endless stream,

"How far has the Ascendant Sun traveled, is it a hoax that one of the Suns had truly fallen or did he simply hide himself in fear of my Creator's return? When can we expect a Temple Mother's arrival on Trion?..."

"Um, what?" Nyla looked back at the Shiik flustered, "What did you say? I was... I was..." She fell back into silence,n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Sigh. "Is the outside world becoming that dangerous? Come back to me, child, rod your kind of chaos and tell me everything. In my presence, you are safe from any outside influence. Tell me all about your mission."

Nyla's eyes snapped back to the Shiik and nodded, "Um, yes, of course, my mission... but my Queen, what... who is that beside you?"

The Shiik finally noticed that the state of Nyla had changed once she entered her presence and not before, turned to her side, and frowned, "What do you mean, I don't..."

She unexpectedly vanished from her throne and appeared beside Nyla, her red hair began to blaze and her nails lengthened as she bared her fangs, hissing like a snake, her heart had nearly escaped her chest when she saw that a presence had been with her for a while and she had not even noticed,

"Who is that?!" she shrieked, her confused gaze turning to Nyla for a moment before returning to the shining figure sitting calmly on his throne,

If she was taking this direction, it meant the Shiik believed she could not survive what was coming, and the fallout of this battle could be so devastating, that it did not matter if she could resurrect using any of the bodies of the Temple Maidens, so she decided to give them a chance at survival, no matter how slim it was.

'Was it possible that the missing Ascendant Sun, rumored to be dead, was secretly hiding under the continent of Trion? What could be his purpose? Most likely the destruction of that enigmatic being behind the Shiik.'

Nyla gritted her teeth, "As expected, this forsaken realm takes everything." behind her she could hear the roar of the Queen as she charged into battle, and knew that there could be nowhere far enough to run.

Rowan was deep inside his soul, his mind separated into 33,000 distinct time flows, as he began to explore the next step towards the third dimension. A part of him already knew the answer but he silenced it, wanting the result to flow naturally to his senses.

It took a few hours but then it clicked and Rowan's soul cheered. The cogs and gears were the frameworks, and the time stream around them was the coating, they may be separated into different time streams but that was looking at this picture from a two-dimensional perspective.

If he allowed himself to see everything as a whole using the senses of a higher dimension, he could see the marvelous painting they were creating. It was fiendishly complex, the operations of which could not be discerned by any mortal or even most immortal minds, but Rowan was not trying to solve a puzzle, he just wanted to experience his bloodline operation. Like a young bird learning to fly, it should be more of an instinctual process for him. His bloodline already held power, he could grow by letting his instincts guide him. Within the vast complexity, a simple arrangement showed itself. Simple in the sense that it was the least of the possible combinations that this diagram could make, yet it was so complex that Rowan could only grasp it instinctively with his soul, and if he wanted to understand its make-up, even with the power of his mind and Knowledge Well, it would take him months, for others, forever.

It was his Time Stack power.

This deeper understanding of his bloodline and its first ability pushed Rowan to the third- dimensional Will of Time, and his soul jolted in pleasure, he had barely used eight hours to gain the powerful Will of Time and bringing it up to his present state, while also limiting himself, and he could not wait to finally touch the fourth-dimensional level to see what that scene would look like.

Noticing a disturbance, Rowan ignored it, the Shiik would block anyone from reaching him for a while, and he did not want to leave this state of enlightenment. The disturbance came again, and he frowned, his anger triggering his full mental capacity and in that instant, Rowan simply understood the path to the fourth dimension and he cursed in anger.

"Why am I being disturbed?!"
