Chapter 1052 Stone Reach


    Two Ascendant Explorers were fleeing, their speeds of movements were so quick it was almost as if time had been frozen in ce, because nothing around them was moving, even the molecules in the air were frozen in ce, and if not for a green me covering the two Ascendants that pushed away the frozen particles in their paths aside, then every motion of their bodies would be like a nuclear explosion going off, but this protective green me was slowly dying out.


    Their bodies which seemed to be made from ck smoke left long trails behind, but their form appeared shaky and on the edge of dissipation as if both Ascendants had suffered grievous damages to their bodies.


    This was when the true reality of their situation was revealed, their speeds were ridiculously fast, that was true, but the reality they were traveling past had been frozen in time, and their only protection against this time stop effect was the rapidly vanishing green mes covering their bodies.


    One of the Ascendants noticing the rapidly fading mes, sighed and spoke loudly, breaking the silence that had been theirpanion all this while as they fled,


    "We won''t make it. The fort is gone, and the Blight has overtaken us."


    "Yes, we won''t make it, but it does not matter if we don''t make it, from here we should be able to transfer the data about the spread of the Time Blight. Give me your mes, I shallplete the process. I shall send a small packet of information across to the Council, the mes should be able to protect such a minor amount of data until it escapes this zone."


    There was a slight pause before the first Explorer nodded, and touched the second Ascendant passing the remnants of his mes over to him without any hesitation even though he knew he was condemning himself to a date worse than death, and immediately he was frozen in ce.


    The second Ascendant looked at his brethren for a short while before he began to gather his mes also in arge green orb and a bright blue mist emerged from his smoky eyes and fused to the green mes, about tounch it, he felt a chill crawl past his spine, and his body turned involuntary to beheld the creature that had appeared behind him.


    It took the form of a Deific Explorer, with hands spread outwards as if crucified, from his body, came a flood of blood and pus, ck smoke, and dead snakes. From his thin chest came an unending sound ofughter.


    Every Ascendant knew the form of Noah Rithmast, the originator of the Time Blight that had swallowed ten million continents, cing everything, both Ascendant and Cmity in a zone of null time, yet the sounds of anguish from countless multitudes resounded from the bodies.


    The Ascendant knew he would not survive this encounter with this unknown terror, but not backing down he pushed his arms upward tounch the ball of green mes carrying the message that the Time Blight was beginning to spread once again, and its originator was on the move once again, the higher Ascendants would need to interfere before more of the world was lost.


    The mes did not travel far before it vanished and the Ascendant shuddered when it noticed the eyes of Noah Rithmast had opened, and that was thest thing he saw before his body was frozen in time, and his endless torture began.


    The head of Noah Rithmast slowly turned to his side, his dead eyes bleeding blood, pus, and smoke peering past unfathomable distances until his gaze reached Rowan and he grinned.


    Below him spread out for what seemed like an infinity were ten million continents, and unless Rowan was here, he would have understood that the overall shapes of all the continents resembled an eye, not an oval-shaped one, but the four-sided square-shaped eye of the Primordial of Time.


    ?


    Rowan reappeared above a massive continent, far greater than any he had ever been. This continent was more than ten thousand miles in circumference and covered with nothing but endless forests. This was one of the most important outposts of the Silver Alliance.


    Behind him, the Shiik appeared shortly followed by the Prism which copsed into dust. Rowan had utilized every single speck of energy inside the Prism to bring him to the farthest location it was able to reach, knowing he would be able to get a more powerful Teleportation Prism in this location to bring him to his target.


    Looking up at the sky, he noticed that the position of the three Ascendant suns had shifted their position and was closer to the north, confirming his spections and affirming the memories of the Explorers that he had collected that the Ascendant Suns were no longer powerful enough to cover the entire Realm.


    From the memories in his mind, Rowan knew that once there were ten Ascendant Suns and an equal number of Cmity Suns, and they separated the Realm equally between them, but seven of the Ascendant Suns had fallen, for only three Cmity Suns, pushing the bnce out of bounds.


    This meant that in many corners of the Realm, the light of the Ascendant Sun could not reach them, and they were permanently under the bounds of Cmity.


    Dropping his gaze back to the earth, Rowan began surveying thend. The forest covered more than ny-five percent of the entirend mass, and the rest five percent was dedicated to a massive castle that could hold tens of millions. n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om


    This castle did not belong to the Silver Alliance, they were only to serve as watchers over it. This castle was the property of the Council of Nine, the preeminent power of Ascendancy, whose among its members were the three Ascendant suns overhead.


    The castle was called the Stone Reach, and it was responsible for holding back the tides of Cmities against a thousand Continent and was an importantmunication hub for a lot of continents facing the crushing onught of the Cmities, however, its most important function was that of a Citadel Hub, the only location that could ensure the immortality of a Deific Ranked Explorer.
