The Internal Tribulation of the Primordials could take as long as a single day or a trillion years, but all of that time would only happen inside their mental space, in the outside world, barely a few seconds would pass, and so it was easy to determine how many Primordial Candidate had succeeded in their first try… it was all of them!
Perhaps, Origin itself recognized that its end was coming and so it opened its gates wide open so the Primordials could easily learn from it…
Perhaps it was the knowledge that the greatest war that would ever be fought, from the beginning of existence until its end was about to begin, and if they were not Primordials, they could not stand at the front of the line…
Perhaps it was the love they had gained for the ten thousand Origin Realms that they knew they had to protect because there was nothing else out there.
