Extending Space

Rowan nodded at the Shiik and he reached his Ascendant body and merged with it. He held back from completing the merger, observing the state of his Ascendant body.

Outwardly it might resemble a simple lump of metal, but within was something special. It was as if one had been transferred to an alien city. Vast connections made with metallic cables that extended into the distance crisscrossed the internals of his Ascendant body, making it appear as if it was filled with countless metallic spider webs.

It was only a structure like this that could hold Rowan's soul that was now more powerful than an Ascendant Sun. 

Rowan had been able to briefly roam around the realm with his soul because the transformation caused by his bloodline of Time gave his soul a sort of fleshy outer body covering that could imperfectly hide his soul power for a while, but it was not perfect. This was why none of his children could see his face or come near him.
