Caelus gritted his teeth and tried to steady himself. Then the fading voice reached him one last time.
"Go to the Primordial World. The beings there can grow strong enough to reach the Primordial level."
An unfamiliar place flashed through his mind along with a path leading beyond their universe. He held on to that direction as more of the construct poured into him.
