The Epic Tale of Chaos vs Order - Chapter 1357

Chapter 1357: Reaching the Nine Empyrean Suns Universe (II) Chapter 1357: Reaching the Nine Empyrean Suns Universe (II) Hours became days, and Cain and Leviathan’s aura became more and more potent as they fully assimilated the Concept of Rage engraved into the essence of Horus’ flesh and blood.

Each passing moment refined their grasp on this Concept, shaping their path with greater clarity.

Finally, after a week, the young man opened his eyes.

A sharp light appeared within them as a voice echoed inside his mind: “It is time.” That voice, ancient and measured, belonged to Ao, Aether’s World Will.

Cain recognized it instantly.

Without hesitation, he took a deep breath, allowing his mind to calm and his will to align with Ao’s directive.

Cain let his body vanish, merging once more with the World Will.

With that union, the entire world began to tremble as if stirred by a distant thunder.

Members of the light and dark races alike looked to the sky in awe and wonder.

They saw strange phenomena: the firmament began to change, and hundreds of stars vanished in the distance.

It seemed as if they were moving at unimaginable speed, tearing through the cosmos.

Though most people did not fully understand what was happening, those of high enough strength and knowledge realized the meaning of this spectacle.

This was the moment they had been preparing for-the ascension of Aether to the Nine Empyrean Suns Universe!

In the Silver City, the Collapsing Lightning Emperor gazed at the heavens, his eyes brimming with willpower and anticipation.

He smiled quietly to himself.

Finally, the time had come.

Aether was leaving the World Forge and approaching the Nine Empyrean Suns Universe.

This was a milestone that Cain had foretold, and now it was unfolding before their eyes like a grand cosmic tapestry.

While the populace only witnessed a trinity of wonders-shifting stars, cosmic tremors, and ethereal lights-Cain’s vision was entirely different.

His eyes glowed with pure awe as he beheld a massive universe manifesting before his inner sight.

It was wondrous beyond imagination, so colossal he could not even quantify it.

Within this universe were nine immense worlds, each so enormous that even Aether itself seemed like a grain of sand in comparison.

Each of these worlds was enclosed by a flaming crystal wall, surrounded by endless chaotic energy.

They glowed like suns, brilliant beacons in a dark ocean of cosmic emptiness.

Cain pushed his will to its peak, forcing himself to regain focus amidst the overwhelming grandeur.

He recalled Ao’s words: “When a Seed World leaves the World Forge, it will align itself to one of the Empyrean Suns, falling into its orbit and moving around it for its entire life.” A solemn expression appeared on Cain’s face.

As the World King, he had the right-and the responsibility-to choose which Empyrean Sun the world would align with.

He could not tell the strength of the people inside the worlds nor the amount of life forms within them.

But by focusing carefully, he could perceive the presence and distribution of different races in each Empyrean Sun.

His gaze passed over five of the Empyrean Suns.

In these, he sensed that a single race clearly reigned supreme, overshadowing all others.

The presence of other species was feeble, token at best, indicating rigid hierarchies and little diversity.

To Cain’s surprise, there was no sign of the Godslayer Humankind controlling any of these suns, but he did not bother too much with it.

He needed a place with complexity and balance, a stage upon which his plans could unfold with subtlety and depth.

Cain then turned his attention to the other four Empyrean Suns.

In three of them, he found multiple races present, but one side clearly surpassed the rest in power and influence.

This would not do either, for his schemes required a delicate equilibrium.

Finally, his eyes landed on the last of the Empyrean Suns.

He felt the presence of multiple races there, a vibrant tapestry of powers.

No single faction was able to completely overwhelm the others.

It was a world of diversity, contention, and possibility.

If his aims were to guide Aether and its inhabitants through a path of growth and challenge-if he needed a world where the Six Sacred Races were all represented, where no single force could claim total dominion-this would be the perfect environment!

With determination and focus, Cain anchored his mind to that particular Empyrean Sun, guiding Aether toward it.

The massive Seed World crossed the barrier between space-time and reality as it finally left the World Forge.

In the next second, it materialized around a gargantuan sun.

Though Aether itself was large enough to host trillions of lives around this Empyrean Sun, it was but a speck of dust.

An overwhelming gravitational force caught hold of Aether, drawing it into orbit around this new cosmic powerhouse.

Aether trembled as it fell into the gravitational field of the chosen Empyrean Sun, beginning a new cosmic dance.

People across the continents felt subtle earthquakes as the world adapted to its new celestial home.

Yet, none panicked.

They focused on the wondrous radiations flooding their world.

The sky glowed with myriad colors, and an ocean of energy spilled into Aether’s atmosphere, permeating every living thing.

Those cultivators who had long been stuck at bottlenecks for decades or centuries found themselves advancing as the massive influx of energy bathed their souls and meridians.

Even Cain could not hide a spark of excitement as he felt the tremendous influx of energy coursing through the planet he guided.

This was on an entirely different scale than before.

From the simplest peasant to the mightiest expert, all would benefit from this infusion of primordial force.

But Cain, disciplined as ever, did not lose focus.

Leaving the World Will’s vantage point, Cain emerged again into the sky, high above Aether’s seas.

He surveyed his world as it stabilized in its new orbit.

Although the tremors had subsided, the air still shimmered with vibrant energies.  Yet, Cain knew that raw power was never enough.

To truly flourish in the Nine Empyrean Suns Universe, Aether needed cunning, adaptability, and control.

With these thoughts in mind, Cain raised his hand and released the World Veil.
