Rowan was not surprised by Telmus's appearance; he had detected him the moment he left his Origin Land, but Telmus's quick ascension to his first layer of Origin in such a short period of time was surprising.
Even placed inside a time-dilated environment, Rowan expected Telmus to take many billions of years before he began to explore his unique layers of Origin.
Truly, the fear of death was the greatest motivator for growth, and it seemed this was also the case even for Primordials.
Rowan's nature as a Reality meant the layer of Origin was no mystery to him, and most of the Origin Sources he controlled were all claimed by him via conquest and not from normal cultivation.
However, the Ascension of Telmus did not just benefit this new Primordial, but Rowan as well, and a distant spark lit up in Rowan's consciousness as a surge of inspiration flowed through him, but he could not focus on this aspect at the moment.
