Returning to the Prime Axis, Eos settled upon his throne of stone and returned to his task of completing the creation of his 10,008 Incarnations. These incarnations would be his path to his final ascension and evolution.
When Rowan, his Incarnation had shown him the path to reach the fifth layer of Space, Eos had been ecstatic. His situation at that time had been a weird mixture of joy and sorrow. With this Incarnation, Eos had a clear path to reach the Primordial level, but he still held back, because doing so would mean abandoning a lot of benefits behind.
You see, Eos had a simple problem: he could only seed nine Origin Forces in his body. To any Primordial, becoming a nine-fold Primordial was a spectacular achievement, and Eos could see how he could have little to no equals, but his true enemy was not just the Ancient Primordials or Enoch, but the power of End itself, a force that had grown far more powerful than anyone could comprehend.
If he had no choice, he could become a nine-fold Primordial and begin to harvest the power of the Origin Essence inside the Primordial Record, but Eos calculated that this path was the suboptimal one.
The Primordials and Enoch wanted the power inside the Primordial Record because they could not create more Origin Essence. Theoretically, if there were a million Origin Essences inside Existence, the Primordial Record held ninety percent of that Essence, and because these abominations had become so infected by the power of End, then if this Essence entered their hands, they would soon be snuffed out.
Rowan reaching the fifth layer of Origin did something that stunned Eos and shook the entirety of Existence because he created new Origin Essence, and meant from the beginning of Existence, Origin Essence had not grown until Rowan broke that barrier.
What was easy to forget was that all of the Origin Essence gathered inside the Primordial Record were Essence could be regarded as dead Essence. They came from Realities that had been butchered, and as expected, all of these Essences could not be taken past the fourth level of Origin.
Rowan could reach the fifth level of the Origin of Space because he cultivated all of that power by himself and had not collected any Essence of Space from the Primordial Record.
Knowing this, there was no way Eos would be taking the Essence from the Primordial Record, knowing that it would give him powers early enough but stunt his growth forever.
Eos did not think that because one of his Incarnations could quickly reach the fifth layer of an Origin Force meant that all of his Incarnations would be able to do the same, but the chance was there, and he would be taking it.
The Primordial Record was a great source of reference for Eos at this point, because, unlike when he explored the Origin of Space, Soul, and Imagination, he had only been able to understand all of these Origin Forces by slowly entering deep into them. This was a time-consuming process, and even with Eos's intelligence and talent, he needed a fairly long time to understand and reach deeper layers of Origin Forces.
With the Primordial Record, all 10,008 Incarnations had direct access to the Origin Force of their choosing, and they did not drain the Origin Essence; they just understood it and copied it.
Settling down on his throne of stone, Eos had sent out tendrils of his consciousness into all of these Incarnation to accelerate the process, by his estimation, it would take seven thousand years for all of his Incarnations to master all four layers of their Origin, and only then would he allow them to reach the Primordial Level, and that was just the first step in his plan.
All of these plans were tied to his final evolution and ascension, and if everything goes according to plan, he would be using the power he would be gaining from this to crush his enemies, and it would not matter how far away they were from him.

Hundreds of years passed, and Eos had crossed a threshold in the creation of his Incarnations that he was now able to shift his focus away from them and focus on other tasks.
Opening his eyes, he met a strange sight: 10,008 of his Incarnations had already risen to their feet, and they were discussing among themselves. They were either in groups or by themselves, and they were interacting with each other as if they were strangers meeting themselves for the first time, and in many ways, they were.
These Incarnation Eos created were different from all his previous Incarnations in one simple area: they were made to die.
Their life line had been split in two, and when the war began, they would be on the front lines of the battle, and when they fell, everything of their life would be sent to Eos, and this was all he needed for him to ascend.
Eos was taking a great risk here, and these Incarnations were deeply connected to him because every single Incarnation carried a part of him. Their death meant his awakening, and if someone who was deeply familiar with him would look at his present state, they would find that he was a bit diminished.
After seven thousand years, Eos would have completed the creation of these Incarnations, and he would be weakened in a manner that was hard to understand, and he would be vulnerable in a way that he had never been before.
To get past the barrier of only having access to nine Origin spots to seed inside his flesh, Eos would have to go above and beyond to become something that had never been seen before.
There were millions of Origin Essence inside the Primordial Record, but whether by coincidence or design, the core of the Ancient Origin Forces was 10,008, and all other Origin Forces were a variation of these 10,008 Origin Forces.
From Space, Time, Fate, Soul to Destiny, Life, Death… all of these Ancient Origin Forces fell under these 10,008 groups, and his Incarnation would be Primordials of all of these forces.
Looking at them mingling and learning from each other, Eos sighed and opened his palm, creating a realm, and inside this realm, he dropped the green gem that was the frozen body of the Beast of Inevitability… it was time to get more answers from this turtle.
