The Epic Tale of Chaos vs Order - Chapter 1462
Chapter 1462: ArchDeity Chapter 1462: ArchDeity Cain simply nodded before cutting the connection and leaving his residence, heading toward Lady Azure’s castle.
The path was one he had walked many times before, but this time, a quiet tension seemed to hang in the air.
By now, Cain had earned enough trust from the old Anima to enter the castle without anyone daring to interfere with his path.
This trust wasn’t born of kindness or camaraderie but was instead a testament to his efficiency and reliability-a reputation that Cain had carefully cultivated.
The journey through the castle’s winding halls took less than a minute.
Servants and guards alike refrained from stopping Cain, their gazes filled with a mixture of respect and apprehension.
Soon, he found himself before the entrance to Lady Azure’s personal quarters.
He knocked firmly, and after a brief pause, the doors swung open on their own as if inviting him in.
“Elder Laurifer, please come in.” Cain stepped inside and took in the familiar sight of Lady Azure seated at her desk.
As always, her calm and motherly smile greeted him, but this time, there was something different in her demeanor.
Her eyes, though warm on the surface, gleamed with a sharp and meaningful light.
It was a stark contrast to her usual composed expression and made it clear that her mind was far from calm.
“You summoned me, Lady Azure,” Cain said, his tone measured and respectful.
Lady Azure nodded, but instead of speaking immediately, her gaze grew intense.
Without warning, the full might of her energy pool surged forth, manifesting as a powerful force field that enveloped the room.
The energy was tangible, crackling faintly in the air as it completely isolated the space from the outside world.
Cain’s eyes narrowed at the display, and a cold light flashed through them as he fixed his gaze on the old Anima.
It was clear that he didn’t appreciate being trapped, and his displeasure radiated from him in waves of Star Power, ready to explode.
Lady Azure seemed to recognize the unease her actions had caused.
She raised a hand in a placating gesture, her voice steady but tinged with urgency.
“Please, Elder Laurifer, forgive this theatricality, but we must be cautious.
What I am about to share with you cannot be heard by anyone else.” Cain’s expression softened slightly, though his aura still flared like a coiled spring, ready to act at the slightest hint of danger.
Their relationship was strictly professional-neither friendship nor loyalty bound them.
Lady Azure trusted his capabilities; he had proven time and again that he could succeed no matter the odds.
However, trust in his abilities did not translate into trust in his character.
She knew exactly what kind of man Cain was, and he knew the same about her.
Satisfied that there were no prying eyes or ears, Lady Azure took a deep breath and continued.
“What I’m about to tell you must remain an absolute secret.
Yesterday, a nomad cultivator discovered the tomb of a Third Realm life form.” Cain’s eyes widened slightly, though he maintained his composure.
Nomad cultivators were unaffiliated with any organization and took on various tasks to accumulate wealth.

It seemed that one of them had stumbled upon something so extraordinary that it was a stroke of immense fortune.
“The man attempted to sell this information to someone within my faction.
We bought it, of course, but to ensure the secret remained ours, I ordered the man to be killed,” Lady Azure said, her tone calm, as though the ruthlessness of her decision was a trivial matter.
Familiar with their world’s brutality, Cain wasn’t particularly fazed by her admission.
Wealth without power was a death sentence, and a discovery of this magnitude could easily lead to disastrous consequences for those unprepared to defend it.
He didn’t waste time moralizing her actions; he didn’t know the nomad, and, truthfully, he might have done the same if the situation had been reversed.
Lady Azure made sure she had Cain’s full attention before proceeding.
“Upon reviewing ancient archives, we discovered the true nature of the tomb.
It does not belong to just any Third Realm life form but to someone known as the Sky Sovereign.
He was an extraordinarily powerful Prima Deity, and according to ancient records, he entered secluded cultivation in an attempt to ascend to the rank of ArchDeity.” The revelation left Cain momentarily stunned.
A tomb of a Third Realm cultivator was already a remarkable find, but to learn it belonged to someone who had strived to become an ArchDeity was nearly incomprehensible.
While Cain’s understanding of the Third Realm of Cultivation was still limited, he knew enough to grasp its significance.
The Third Realm, like the Physical and Soul Realms, was divided into ranks.
Those who reached the First Rank of this tier were called Prima Deities-beings that could stand in the presence of the universe’s Laws as equals.
But ArchDeities were on an entirely different level.
They were beings who had risen above the constraints of the universe’s Laws, their power so immense that they could shape the world to their will.
By Cain’s understanding, ArchDeities were the supreme rulers of the Nine Empyrean Suns Universe.
Each one controlled thousands of small worlds or continents within Empyrean Worlds.
Their rise was an event of cosmic significance, often taking hundreds of millions of years to achieve.
Even if the Sky Sovereign had failed in his attempt to become an ArchDeity, the fact that he had come so close was enough to elevate him far above ordinary Prima Deities.
His wealth, knowledge, and treasures were likely to be beyond imagination, treasures that countless cultivators would kill to obtain.
The weight of the revelation hung heavily in the air, but Cain, ever pragmatic, quickly refocused.
“Wouldn’t the patriarch of the sect make a move and try to access the tomb themselves?” he asked, his tone sharp.
There was no such thing as a flawless secret once more than one person knew it.
If the Prima Deities of the Gu Sect learned about the Sky Sovereign’s Tomb, they would undoubtedly act.
