Spirits, or maybe wills.
Without any defined form, they appeared bizarre, resembling paramecia viewed through a microscope or various tiny organisms, simply floating along aimlessly.
Countless numbers of them were gradually developing, yet most carried no real essence, with many vanishing quietly amid their changes.
Nobody could tell what occurred.
Thinking back to the pale will's theory on the universe's beginnings, Levi deliberately scanned around until spotting a clump of dark substance tucked in one spot.
It twisted and shifted, formless.
Might this represent the Land of Darkness?
Does the Land of Darkness actually qualify as a primordial entity?
Levi felt stunned, deeply rattled inside.
Additionally, his gaze caught a crimson-black form shaped like a "井" symbol, its outer layer of meat trembling akin to the "Tai Sui," covered in endless thread-thin tendrils—this turned out to be the Mother Flesh Tree dominating the Nightmare World.
Beyond that dark mass, Levi detected a massive shadowy beast akin to a "Sand Worm," silently waiting in ambush—it had to be the Abyss Worm.
Drifting amid the azure star dust hovered a huge item like a walnut—one could identify it as the Star Cluster Brain. Inside the grooves of the Star Cluster Brain, a seemingly harmless and fragile larva like a pork tapeworm curled up—likely the Star Worm.
The majority of these primordial beings seemed alien to him, as though humans were first uncovering the world of the minuscule, operating under entirely different principles.
Still, the faint yellow stream, mostly formed from death energy, that extended through the emptiness was recognizable to Levi—that was the Underworld Source River, otherwise called the River of Death.
For eons, it had stayed mostly the same.
Another terrifying substance appeared as a blend of a womb and a beehive.
It gave off an eerie vibe. Though Levi couldn't name it, a odd sense of recognition struck him, evoking memories of the mother nest’s will.
He and the Heavenly Will had guessed that the mother nest’s will could also count as a Primordial Spirit.
Should this prove accurate,
their theory would hold true.
Levi even spotted a feeble flame dancing by itself in the shadows. Small as a candle's glow, it held the power of innumerable suns.
But it quickly burst apart, with embers flying across the gloom.
Just a single thread of eternal fire lingered.
"Could this be the Primordial Spark? The entity the Eternal Fire regards as its origin; if its words ring true, then not every mighty deity springs from that parasite, since some might descend from ancient primordial forms.
Moreover, the various planes created by the Land of Darkness probably exclude the Sun Plane—a special realm that could stem from the Primordial Spark's remnants.
Fire Elemental Spirits differ from typical living beings.
Thus, Sauron granted half of the Primordial Spark thirty thousand years back to the Fire Sovereign, the greatest among fire elemental spirits, nearly like restoring it to its proper place.
At heart, the Fire Sovereign and the Eternal Fire share a sibling-like bond.
One reigns as the supreme Fire God across the astral realms, while the other dominates as the top Fire God in the mortal world. This ancient force might fittingly be termed the Primordial Fire."
Taking advantage of this prime moment while the Chaos Holy Soul modeled the universe's development, Levi relied on his exceptional recall and computing skills to imprint every Primordial Spirit into his thoughts, capturing their looks and powers along with their final fates and whereabouts.
Naturally, times transform greatly, celestial patterns realign. The spots he noted probably meant little today, serving only as a personal hope.
As he documented, Levi noticed a loop-shaped worm, or possibly a snake-like circle, with its ends connected, radiating an enigmatic essence of fate.
It carried a touch of time's essence too.
"This must be the ancient being that gave rise to the Mortal Circle and Eternal Ring, remarkably like the Snake of the End."
Levi realized the Snake of the End certainly wasn't a primordial force.
Rather, one of its kin had swallowed a primordial artifact by chance, and through the primordial influence, its progeny developed traits echoing those origins.
Levi dubbed this creature the Destiny Worm—these odd existences often drew names from bugs, much like the initial single-celled life on Earth.
Similar to the Primordial Fire, the Destiny Worm shattered in its growth, likely because the nascent universe's laws were flawed, preventing the disordered cosmos from properly fostering life, so most Primordial Spirits failed to endure.
Nevertheless, Levi sharply saw that following the Destiny Worm's rupture, it split from a single loop into three tinier ones. One drifted off into the void, lost to the shadows, as the remaining pair embedded into the Star Cluster Brain.
"Hiss... Hold on, if the piece within the Land of Darkness became the Eternal Ring, eventually consumed by the Snake of the End, then of the two loops that pierced the Star Cluster Brain, one forms the Mortal Circle—what of the third? Did it develop into a god? I wonder if Sauron encountered it afterward?"
Levi pushed this idea aside for now and kept on noting.
Beside the Destiny Worm lay another elongated worm, or perhaps a stream, pulsing with a vast aura of time—Levi ventured to assume this was the River of Time.
Or more precisely, the Time Worm.
The Time Worm also showed signs of fate's presence.
"The connection between the Destiny Worm and Time Worm feels logical."
Levi whispered to himself.
Regrettably, the Time Worm detonated as well.
It broke into myriad glowing specks, briefly lighting up the cosmos.
But it swiftly fell back into endless quiet.
Levi grasped that the Time Worm hadn't perished.
Much like how the Primordial Fire turned into those primordial stars scattered through the universe, it established the space-time framework of this turbulent cosmos via its time essence.
He shut his eyes, perceiving an infinite grand river surging through every corner of the universe, spanning all eras from past to now. The river proved too intricate, too deep.
Throughout history, time has posed the toughest concept for any creature to grasp.
At this point, Levi sensed that this turbulent universe felt much more whole than earlier, free from that previous feeling of lacking.
He could distinctly sense the marks etched by time's flow.
This marked the birth of the River of Time.
It added a further layer to existence, granting fresh significance.
Levi combed through the emptiness, carefully hunting.
He aimed to check if this ancient entity had any artifacts left.
Any time-linked remnants would surely wield tremendous might.
In the end, he found a structure resembling a fortress, though it might not truly be one, just seeming that way from his mind's own imprinting of such a "form."
For now, labeling it the "Time Castle" worked fine.
"Where exactly does this fortress lie? Does controlling it allow bending time? Reversing it?" Levi's feelings swelled.
He strained his sight, detecting something inside the fortress.
Yet despite his efforts, he failed to make it out clearly.
All at once, a sound rang sharply in his thoughts.
"Young one, what do you see?"
