Wizard: Starting With the Knights Breathing Method Chapter 2891: 587: Nine Rings Perfect, Chaos Holy Body, Secrets of the Universe!

Spirits, or maybe wills.

These entities lack a defined form, appearing odd, akin to paramecia viewed through a microscope or various microbes, simply floating along aimlessly.

Countless numbers of them are gradually developing, yet most show no real vitality, with many fading away quietly amid their changes.

Nobody understands the reason behind it.

Levi remembered the pale will's theory on the universe's beginnings, deliberately scanning around until spotting a clump of dark substance tucked away in one spot.

The mass twisted and shifted, without any fixed shape.

Might this represent the Land of Darkness?

Does the Land of Darkness actually qualify as a primordial entity?

Levi felt stunned, deeply rattled inside.

He spotted a crimson-black form shaped like a "" symbol, its outer layer of flesh trembling similar to the "Tai Sui," covered in endless thin tendrils—this turned out to be the Mother Flesh Tree that dominated the Nightmare World.

Beyond the dark substance, a massive shadowy beast like a "Sand Worm" lay in wait silently—it had to be the Abyss Worm.

Drifting amid the azure star dust hovered a huge item that looked like a walnut—one could easily identify it as the Star Cluster Brain. Inside the grooves of the Star Cluster Brain, a seemingly harmless and fragile creature like a pork tapeworm curled up—it was likely the Star Worm.

The majority of these primordial beings struck him as utterly alien, as though humans were first uncovering the world of the tiny, operating under entirely different principles.

Still, the faint yellow stream, mostly made of death energy, that wound through the emptiness felt recognizable to him—that was the Underworld Source River, otherwise called the River of Death.

Over millions of years, it had stayed mostly the same.

Another terrifying substance appeared as a blend of a womb and a hive.

It gave off an eerie vibe. Levi couldn't name it, yet it seemed oddly recognizable, evoking thoughts of the mother nest’s will.

He and the Heavenly Will had guessed that the mother nest’s will could be a Primordial Spirit too.

Should this prove true,

their theory would hold up.

He even found a faint flame twinkling by itself in the shadows. Though just as big 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 strand of eternal flame lingered.

"Could this be the Primordial Spark? The entity the Eternal Fire refers to as its origin; if its words ring true, then not every mighty god arises from that parasite, since some might stem from ancient primordial forms.

The various planes created by the Land of Darkness probably exclude the Sun Plane—a special realm that could be a remnant from the Primordial Spark.

Fire Elemental Spirits stand apart from typical living beings.

Thus, Sauron granted half of the Primordial Spark to the Fire Sovereign, the greatest among fire elemental spirits, thirty thousand years back, nearly handing it back to its true heir.

At heart, the Fire Sovereign and the Eternal Fire share a sibling-like bond.

One rules as the top Fire God across the astral realms, while the other reigns supreme among Fire Gods in the mortal world. This ancient force might rightfully 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 computational skills to etch every Primordial Spirit into his memory, capturing their looks and powers along with their final fates and places.

Of course, landscapes transform over time, celestial patterns realign. The spots he noted probably meant little now, serving only as a personal hope.

As he documented them, his gaze fell on a looped worm, or possibly a snake-like circle, with its ends connected, radiating an enigmatic sense 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, bearing a strong resemblance to the Snake of the End."

Levi realized the Snake of the End certainly wasn't a primordial one.

A offspring of its line had stumbled upon and consumed a primordial artifact by chance, and through the primordial force's effect, its progeny began resembling primordial traits.

Levi dubbed this creature the Destiny Worm—these peculiar organisms fittingly evoked insects, much like the primitive single-celled life from Earth.

Similar to the Primordial Fire, the Destiny Worm detonated in its growth phase, likely because the fledgling universe's laws were flawed, preventing the turbulent cosmos from properly fostering life, so most Primordial Spirits perished.

Nevertheless, Levi sharply noticed that following the Destiny Worm's blast, it split from a single loop into three tinier ones. One drifted off into the emptiness, disappearing into the shadows, as the remaining pair embedded into the Star Cluster Brain.

"Hiss... Hold on, if the piece in the Land of Darkness became the Eternal Ring, which the Snake of the End later consumed, then of the two loops that entered the Star Cluster Brain, one must be the Mortal Circle—what of the third? Did it develop into a god of some kind? I wonder whether Sauron came across it afterward?"

Levi pushed this idea aside for the moment and kept on with his notes.

Beside the Destiny Worm stretched another elongated worm, or perhaps a stream, pulsing with a vast aura of time—Levi ventured to think this was the River of Time.

Or more accurately, the Time Worm.

The Time Worm also showed signs of fate's influence.

"The connection between the Destiny Worm and Time Worm feels logical."

Levi whispered to himself.

Regrettably, the Time Worm met the same explosive end.

It shattered into myriad glowing specks, briefly lighting up the cosmos.

But it swiftly plunged back into endless quiet.

Levi grasped that the Time Worm hadn't truly vanished.

Much like how the Primordial Fire turned into those primeval stars scattered through the universe, it helped establish the space-time principles of this disordered cosmos via its time essence.

He shut his eyes, perceiving an infinite grand river coursing through every corner of the universe, spanning all eras from past to present. The river proved overwhelmingly intricate, deeply mysterious.

Throughout history, time has posed the toughest concept for any creature to grasp.

At this point, Levi sensed that this disordered universe appeared much more whole than earlier, shedding that prior feeling of something missing.

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 void, searching with focus.

He aimed to check if this ancient being had any remnants left.

Any artifact tied to time would surely wield tremendous might.

In the end, he uncovered something resembling a fortress, though it might not truly be one, just seeming that way from his mind's own imprint of an "image."

For now, labeling it the "Time Castle" worked fine.

"Where exactly does this fortress lie? Controlling it—does that allow bending time? Even reversing it?" Levi's feelings swelled.

He strained his sight, detecting a presence inside the fortress.

Yet despite his efforts, he failed to make it out clearly.

All at once, a voice echoed sharply in his thoughts.

"Little fellow, what are you looking at?"
