That’s Interesting. Three types of factions. The governments, the scholars, and the clans? I wonder if they’re all united, unlike the government and families. Though considering we’ve just learned that one member disobeyed instructions and entered the trials, their unity probably isn’t 100? I wonder if there’ll be a 4th type. Mercenaries?

If he’s 7 out of 9 then she can still pick him no?

If someone from what was seemingly a decidedly weaker force (at the time) survived, is it possible that there are older monsters from some governments left? Even if the superpowers eliminated one another, then what of other less powerful nations?

I wondered about this. If someone sadly went through a trial and created their lineage in the past, then with how powerful they are, they should be more of them left behind. Maybe a weapon or a treasure (though the bronze stepper may count). Didn’t think they’d be alive and kicking though. Kinda neat. Hope they aren’t too much of a duck

The last reward all but confirms that his Luck is pulling strings.

I’m guessing this why they stole cassarae’s necklace?

Should be one of Draco’s wives

I wonder if Rowan would’ve noticed this change. Maybe he would’ve sensed when Andar accessed his memories and those of the fallen god? Or is he already aware of this since he chose to leave it behind for Andar in the first place?

Well, Chaos the Primordial is the first Empyrean. Elura, whose Will can grant wishes even to gods as powerful as Trion’s and valuable enough for archmages to fight for, is a Primordial. And Elura was technically not yet an outer universe being. That, and we do know Empyreans are at their own level just from Rowan’s alternate future. Back when he lost control and devoured the universe. Nothing was able to stop him (at least nothing within the universe), and that says a lot from how much our horizons have been expanded since then.

Fate and destiny too probably with his tree.

Bro’s soul trait is Minecraft.

This is a bad habit some authors have. They give an op ability then rank it low almost as if to justify the ability being op. But the ranking never really changes the fact that the ability is op anyway. I wonder if it’ll be different here

Rowan?

I’m still a bit confused what is the price Rowan paid? I’m not trying to say the price is too little or anything. In the first place, Rowan wouldn’t pay the price if it outweighed the potential gains. I’m just not seeing what the price here is? Is it stabbing himself? Sacrificing everyone to the sword?

Meanwhile Abdar will experience perhaps the worst headache he’ll ever have and wake up suddenly smarter

And he’s winning

Rowan literally playing 6D chess rn

Seems like. I guess it explains her her apparent dominance over the other gods?

Not wrath?

Supreme archmage?
