Earth, wind, water, fire—the four elemental poles also existed within the universe, and they were constantly shifting.
First, because the multiverse was still continually expanding.
And the positions of the four poles constantly changed along with the universe's expansion.
Besides the locations for obtaining primordial power given by the Omniscient Carbuncle, there were also certain special environments that contained, to varying degrees, primordial power that could be absorbed quickly.
These locations merely made it relatively easier to obtain primordial power. It did not mean that Charles could directly take this primordial power as soon as he arrived.
