The Epic Tale of Chaos vs Order - Chapter 1187

Chapter 1187: Hibernation (I) Chapter 1187: Hibernation (I) Cain smiled as he saw the Grand Elders’ unity, each standing firmly behind him.

He had adopted the Power of Order as his core during his journey across the Crimson World, seeking clarity of mind and the coldness necessary to do what needed to be done in order to rise in power.  However, that didn’t mean he was ungrateful for the support or that he wouldn’t repay all he had received.

It only meant that it was harder for people to reach him emotionally.

Yet, the Tiamat Sect achieved that connection by being upfront and keeping their word at every turn.

“Do you have new plans?” Grand Elder Kryos asked, curiosity clear in his voice as he addressed Cain.

The other Grand Elders watched Cain with anticipation, knowing that wherever he went, chaos and change seemed to follow.

Who knew, perhaps the scarlet dragon would now have plans to meddle with the Sun Church.  Unfortunately for the Grand Elders expecting a dramatic response, Cain’s next move had nothing to do with fighting or scheming.

“I will enter hibernation until the Primeval World opens.” Surprise flickered across the faces of the Grand Elders, but after a few moments, they nodded in approval.  What Cain referred to as hibernation was an ability of dragons.

Their bodies and souls would experience accelerated growth by entering a deep slumber.

Still, this state could only be reached after a dragon had pushed their power to the limit for a prolonged period and amassed significant energy reserves.

Cain had fulfilled those conditions completely.

Battling continuously for over six months against powerful enemies had constantly pushed his body and soul to the limit.

The Grand Elders could feel the immense amount of vitality, energy, and spiritual force slowly integrating into Cain’s existence and the massive reserves he had built.

Although Cain’s choice made perfect sense, the Grand Elders were still surprised.

Young dragons often avoided hibernation, as it required remaining in an unconscious meditative state for months, if not years.

This idea did not appeal to many, especially those seeking glory.  “Good choice.

I am glad to see you understand the importance of peace and stillness,” Grand Elder Kryos said, his voice solemn.

“As a reward for neutralizing the South Coast threat, I will allow you to perform your hibernation in the third vertebra of the Star Bound Sovereign.” A murmur of surprise rippled through the other Grand Elders, complicated expressions crossing their faces before they nodded in agreement with Kryos’s decision.

Cain’s smile widened upon hearing those words.

The upper vertebrae of the Star Bound Sovereign were reserved for the most powerful dragons, serving as homes for the Grand Elders themselves.

Being granted access to one of these sacred places carried immense benefits, especially if he would enter secluded cultivation.

“I thank the Grand Elders for their grace,” Cain said, bowing slightly in respect.

“If there’s nothing else to discuss, I’ll guide the boy to his new residence,” Grand Elder Kryos said.

When none of the other elders voiced any objections, he nodded and gestured for Cain to follow him.

It didn’t take long for Kryos and Cain to leave the castle and make their way into the spine of the Star Bound Sovereign.

As they ascended, Cain’s smile grew, and he felt the density of energy and spiritual force in the surroundings increase.

The further they went, the more breathtaking it became.

When they reached the top ten vertebrae, Cain’s eyes narrowed as he sensed a strange power permeating the air.

He couldn’t fully perceive it yet-his soul force was still too weak to understand its depth-but he knew this power was none other than the Oniric Truths.

‘Even after his death, the power of the Oniric Truths remains so vivid and potent.

Just how strong was the Star Bound Sovereign?’ Cain thought, awe filling his mind as he continued ascending across the spine of the massive dragon skeleton.

As they passed the seventh vertebra, Cain’s instincts suddenly reacted.

His eyes widened as he looked around, noticing arcs of lightning resembling flames flickering across the area.

His Dragon Sinful Heart throbbed, sending waves of heat through his chest.

Grand Elder Kryos noticed Cain’s reaction and nodded approvingly.

“Good, very good.

The strength and purity of your Dragon Sinful Heart is top-notch.” Cain turned toward Kryos, curiosity burning in his gaze, but he remained silent, waiting for the elder to explain.

Kryos, seeing the question in Cain’s eyes, continued.

“While your soul may be too weak to fully perceive or understand the Oniric Truths, your Dragon Sinful Heart can harmonize with those that formed its core.

This was the home of Grand Elder Ignis, the Eternal Flame.

He mastered the Oniric Truth of Wrath, and his soul radiation has suffused this area, making space and time carry fragments of his aura.” Cain’s eyes narrowed in understanding.

He couldn’t help but wonder how much benefit he would gain from training in a place like this, but he knew that wasn’t possible.

He just followed after Grand Elder Kryos.

They continued, and when Cain passed the sixth, fifth, and fourth vertebrae, he detected nothing unusual.

But as soon as they reached the third vertebra, Cain’s breath caught in his throat.

Streams of green light flashed sporadically around him, their power and mysteries sending tremors through his soul.

His Dragon Sinful Heart reacted even more intensely than in Ignis’s home, surging with strength as it attuned itself to the potent energy in the air.

Cain nearly lost himself in the sheer grandeur of the place, but his focus returned when he noticed the solemn look on Grand Elder Kryos’s face.

“This was the home of Grand Elder Amethyst, a master of the Oniric Truth of Gluttony,” Kryos said, his voice filled with longing.

His expression darkened as an icy coldness seemed to freeze the very space around them.
