Above a Central Continent which was the highest stage a Continent could achieve in the lower realms, after they succeeded in defeating numerous Calamity Incursions, a boy made from white flame hovered, from his heart emerged tiny strands of golden tendrils a million times smaller than a spider's thread and numbered in the billions.
From these threads could be heard the sounds of whispers as if from the mouth of an uncountable number of people, and from the way his eyes were moving in their sockets, he was not just hearing all these people, but also watching every single one of them.
Beside him was a map made from white flames that was constantly being updated in real- time, and then he unexpectedly closed his eyes as a message came to his mind,
"Return to me Lost."
The Lost Flames nodded, even if there was no need to do so and he spoke into the winds, his voice dispersing into millions of streams,n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
"For those of you who have not yet acquired a Central Continent but are close to them, you have three hours to complete that task, for the rest of you, we have to go back, perhaps there may be a chance to gather more of them in the future, but your safety is paramount.."

The past few months had been one of incredible enlightenment for Rowan, and at this moment inside his Ascendant body's mental space, the vortex had grown so massive it was almost touching the edges of his mental space.
He had made several other connections to other places after he accessed certain vague memories while being careful that he was not drawn into them, but his main attention was not on this matter, whatever he was summoning by opening this box they were getting closer, and he only had to maintain the status quo for as long as possible, until it became too late to stop this process.
A third-dimensional universe controlled by Chaos because all of space was essentially his body. This meant that every great power in reality had to be connected to the Great Darkness for sustenance, and what did this mean to Doom Star, a realm that was locked out from accessing the Third Dimension?
It meant that this realm had a limited amount of souls in its possession, and these souls had been taken to their breaking point and beyond.
For countless eternities, these souls had died and reincarnated, unable to find peace, unable to grow, their pain had led to an endless river of darkness that was slowly drowning this world, it was no mistake that Calamity would always come out stronger in the end, the souls in this realm had become tainted.
The war between Calamity and Ascendancy was meaningless to the World's Will, and although the immortals of the realm might think they were the darling of the world, and saw mortals as ants, the truth was that in the grand scheme of things, every mortal was more precious to the world than a thousand Ascendant.
At the end of everything, it would be the mortals that would restart a new cycle for the realm. The Ascendants and Calamity were immortal, without the war they would exist forever and the realm would not be able to start a new cycle. It had a purpose for creating this endless cycle of strife, and mortals were the key.
It was a good thing then that Rowan was a bastion for souls.
The months he had spent here connecting to the vortex had led him to explore his soul deeply and also understand the endless stream of soul energy entering his body, and then he realized that he was wrong about their source.
At first, Rowan had thought that the soul energy he was receiving was coming from the soul crystals he had gathered inside his dormant dimension, but it was now that he was beginning to realize that he had been consuming the souls of the dead of Doom Star all this while.
He had been stealing from the realm without his knowledge and underneath the nose of the World's Will because he was shielded by this Ascendant body!
[Note: An Eternity can be seen as a Minor Era or the lifespan of a universe, usually a billion trillion years.]
