No. Fount is a way of saying Fountain. They're just grandiosely claiming they are the source, or... fountain, of all life. It, like many things, should not be taken literally. They even refer to themselves as precursors multiple times throughout the book series. "We are the last of those who gave you breath and form, millions of years ago. We are the last of those your kind defied and ruthlessly destroyed. We are the last Precursors. And now we are legion." ect...

:I agree. The word "Fount" in this instance is a metaphor used by the Precursors to portray themselves as the fountain from which all other sentient life in the galaxy flowed. In other words, it's a more eloquent way of saying "I made you & I can break you..." in trochaic heptameter. - [[User:DJenser|DJenser]] ([[User talk:DJenser|talk]]) 13:43, 1 May 2013 (EDT)
