Chapter 240: The First Empyrean

Eva was quiet for a while as she digested his words, she knew her Creator was trusting her with the secrets of his heart, and she intended to ruminate on them.

Seeing her appearance, Rowan smiled, but he could not resist throwing one last dig in, "Wait. Are you angry not just because I deceived Tree Boy here, but also because you believed my words to him, right?"

Eva rolled her eyes and began muttering something under her breath, but Rowan could catch a bit, "—lying piece of..." he did not bother trying to figure out the rest of the words.

He grinned and turned away, focusing on the Rune he held in his hand, the time was now. He said the word with as much gravitas as he could place in it, "REALITY!!"

Rowan's body exploded.

Luckily for him, his Palace of Ice was spared from the backlash of handling the Chaotic Rune and his body returned as if time was reversing and in twelve seconds he was whole again.

"what the..." Rowan was dumbstruck, this was not supposed to happen according to the instruction manual!

Eva began to make a weird sound in her throat, she had a crook in her lips as if she were trying to force back a laugh, and finally, she could not hold it in anymore, and she began to laugh out loud.

Rowan would have been more annoyed, if this was not the first time he was hearing her voice. It was an annoyingly charming sound, and the Aether in the environment was stirred by her laughter, as heavenly phenomena began to appear around space.

The flames around the moon died out, and inexplicably it began to snow on the moon, as it seemed the heavenly body was celebrating the laughter of Eva.

Even though Rowan was disappointed by his failure, he could not help but smile as her laughter was infectious." So, if you're done laughing, Will you tell me why I failed? Are such concepts impossible to control?"

The lady of shadow replied for the first time with words as she seemed surprised at herself for speaking out loud, and Rowan was glad to hear her voice, a short time ago, this might have creeped him out, but he was now more aware of the mysterious powers of his universe and he was getting desensitized, and it also helped that Eva was cute. Even in this universe, beauty was still advantageous.

Eva smiled,"No Creator, such concepts are not impossible for the likes of you. But reality had already been acquired a long time ago, if you want it, you should either kill him for it or you cultivate your own."

Rowan did not know why at this moment, every levity fled from his mind and his void heart nearly squeezed in shock and a weird fear took root in his mind,"Wait, hold on, who acquired reality?"

"I thought you should know this by now, as you are his heir. It was Chaos. He was the one who acquired it, and you have his blood. Those creatures inhabiting the void in your heart are his descendants, like you."

"I don't..."

"There is a reason you are attracted to the control of reality itself, Creator," then she tittered, "after all, it's in your blood."

"Ha ha, very funny." Rowan frowned and looked at himself, as his Empyrean Sense swept through his body, "I am a descendant of chaos?"

"Yes Creator. He was the first Empyrean."

"Was?"

"He had been missing for many Eras."

"What's an Era?"

"The total lifespan of a universe, Creator."

"How long is that?"

"A billion trillion years, but the lifespan of a universe can be shortened or increased due to various factors."

"That's a long time for someone to be missing. How is it possible to live for such a long amount of time? Okay, Eva, if acquiring the power to control reality is out of the question, how do I cultivate it?"

"All great things have small beginnings my Creator, to acquire control over reality, you must begin controlling some of its fundamental components. Because Reality is made up of many different concepts, and understanding and controlling all those concepts would give you the capacity to finally be able to control Reality."

"So, you're saying, in order to control Reality, I should be cultivating all the small concepts that make up reality. Does this mean after I upgrade each successive circle in my growth, I should be acquiring only the required concepts that can create my control over Reality?"

"Precisely Creator, If you truly want to control Reality, you cannot select any concept without proper thought placed into it?"

"Then that leads me to the inevitable question, how do I know which concepts to select and the proper combination of concepts to acquire in order to cultivate Reality?"

"That is where the Knowledge Well Chamber comes into play. Inside that chamber, you would acquire all the necessary knowledge to cultivate the required Words of Enoch in order to control reality. With the Knowledge Well, you will be able to acquire all the knowledge of every world you plunder. You take the body and soul of your foes, with the knowledge well you will take their memories and histories as well, all the secrets of the defeated would be laid bare, and from those, you would forge your path. Whichever it might turn out to be."

"Huh, that is an interesting ability, so that means shelving the idea of being a god over reality for now. Tell me all you know about Chaos, and how his ability to control Reality works."

"My knowledge is still returning as you continue improving your bloodline, and I will tell you all that I know presently. Knowledge of the Origins of beings like Chaos is difficult to comprehend due to how ancient they are. But what you should know is that your bloodlines were born during that distant Era."

"That Era is called the Primordial Era, and was recognized as the most violent Era in the entire timescale of the Multiverse. Nascent powers of all kinds were unclaimed, and the first powers that arose, battled to possess those powers."
