The Epic Tale of Chaos vs Order - Chapter 1544

Chapter 1544: Target: Gu World Chapter 1544: Target: Gu World “System, how long until the Luminous Phoenix Heart fully heals my body and Rebirth Heart?” The cold, robotic voice of the Absolute Life Form System responded instantly.

[At the current rate, it will take the Vessel nine years and twenty-nine days for all damage to the Rebirth Heart and body to be fully healed.] Cain’s eyes widened, but not with displeasure.

On the contrary, the year that it would take less than a decade for the Luminous Phoenix Heart to heal him completely was fantastic news, showing the treasure was even better than he initially expected.

“So, only nine years, and I am good as new.” Any other cultivator in his position would have needed centuries-possibly even millennia-to fully recover from this level of destruction.

Yet, he only needed nine years to be completely restored.

A small smirk curled at the edge of his lips before he let out a low chuckle.

“Hahaha!” There was no doubt about it-he was truly lucky.

The Gift was all he could have hoped for and more.

Even though his time in the Crimson World had proven that he could rise to extraordinary heights without relying on the Absolute Life Form System, it was still an undeniable fact that the system was an unparalleled force that elevated him beyond common sense.

“Still, nine years before moving on with my plans… yeah, that’s too long.” Cain’s smirk faded.

There was no way he was going to sit around and wait for nearly a decade while his body slowly repaired itself.

Luckily, the Luminous Phoenix Heart was an adaptive artifact-its healing ability could be accelerated by consuming treasures and other high-energy sources.

And there was no greater source of life energy than living beings.

The thought barely formed in his mind before Apex’s voice resonated through his soul.

“Brat, if you plan on healing yourself that way, you’ll need to consume hundreds of thousands-maybe even millions-of people.

That would make you a monster that the entire world would want to kill.” Cain tilted his head slightly, his smirk returning.

Apex knew him well.

Cain had long since accepted that devouring others was a natural part of his cultivation path.

It was how he had grown stronger since stepping onto his cultivation road, and he had never shied away from consuming his enemies or anyone stupid enough to get in his way.

But that didn’t mean he was reckless about it.

Cain wasn’t a mindless killer who slaughtered without thought or strategy.

Even when he had sacrificed that group to communicate with Alucard, he had specifically targeted criminals and villains, ensuring that their deaths would have minimal consequences.

Not only did it ease his conscience, but it also meant that he wouldn’t attract unnecessary revenge-seekers.

However, consuming hundreds of thousands or even millions of Divine Masters, even if they were all monsters, would inevitably draw unwanted attention.

These cultivators were not isolated individuals-they were part of organizations, sects, and clans.

If he indiscriminately slaughtered them, it would certainly provoke Third Realm Masters, and Cain wasn’t ready to deal with that just yet.

That meant he needed a place where he could kill and consume as many people as he wanted-without any ethical or political consequences.

A lawless battlefield.

A land where murder was the only rule.

And there was only one such place that fit the description.

“The Gu World.” The moment the words left his lips, a strange surge of emotions flooded through his heart and soul.

Something about the Gu World felt significant as if it was destined to play an important role in his path of cultivation.

Cain couldn’t explain why, but deep inside, he knew-this wasn’t just an opportunity.

It was a turning point.

Even if his instincts were wrong, the Gu World Contest was still the perfect hunting ground.

It was a place where strong cultivators gathered, all competing in a brutal death game isolated from the Everstrife Empyrean World and the Third Realm life forms in it.

No one would question mass slaughter there-because everyone who entered was already trying to kill each other.

It was perfect.

Beyond that, The Gu World held two individuals that Cain had not forgotten.

The Night Prince and Lady Azure.

Cain’s smirk darkened, his golden eyes flashing with cold light.

One of them had been behind the Third Realm Master that was sent after him.

He wasn’t sure which one, but that didn’t matter.

“I’ll repay them for every bit of pain they put me through.” Apex’s voice rumbled in his mind, his tone carrying a hint of amusement.

“Taking part in the Gu Contest won’t be easy now, boy.

Even if the Third Realm woman was too embarrassed to admit what happened, the Night Prince and Lady Azure would have undoubtedly found a way to brand you as a traitor.” Cain’s smirk froze for a fraction of a second before he shrugged it off.

“Where there’s a will, there’s a way.” Cain’s voice carried a deep sense of confidence.

“I fought a Third Realm Master head-on and walked away in better condition than she did.

Compared to that, this would be a walk in the park.” Deep within his Soul Dimension, the golden humanoid figure that watched over him smiled slightly, nodding to himself.

Cain’s destiny was rising.

Every time he faced an impossible challenge, where he was expected to fail, he overcame it.

That kind of belief in oneself-the kind that defied logic and reason-was what made the impossible happen.

Cain knew he wasn’t invincible.

Yes, he was confident, but that didn’t mean he was reckless.

Before entering the Gu World, there were things he needed to take care of first.

Stepping forward, Cain gave a deep bow to the Samsara Flame, a silent show of gratitude.

Then, without hesitation, he left the Samsara Sacrificial Ground and ascended toward the center of the layer.

Settling into a meditative position, Cain closed his eyes.

“System, seal the Astral Rebirth Path of Power.” His voice was calm yet absolute.

Sealing his Astral Rebirth Path would further weaken him, but that didn’t matter.

If it meant accelerating his healing, then the sacrifice was worth it.
