The Epic Tale of Chaos vs Order - Chapter 962

Chapter 962: Ao Chapter 962: Ao “YOU!” Cain turned to the voice’s origin, surprise appearing as he saw the old man who had granted him the starry gems back in Kronos.

He knew this person was special, but he had expected him to be some sort of ancient and obscure powerhouse.

The fact that he would appear in this place meant otherwise.

Although his memories were foggy, Cain knew he had been in a cataclysmic clash with the ninth layer of the Ego Destruction Tribulation, so for the old man to be here left only one possible answer.

“Are you Aether’s will?” The old man froze for a second before suddenly bursting into laughter.

“Hahaha, as expected from the Singularity.

Your wisdom and insight are nothing short of monstrous.” Cain couldn’t help but frown since the old man’s words only increased his questions and confusion, especially since he used the term “Singularity,” which the Depravitas from Dark Sky had used when they first clashed.

Luckily, the old man didn’t keep him waiting for long.

“Answering your question, yes and no.

I am the metaphysical manifestation of Aether’s will, but I am not the full might of its ego.

I am the sentient part of Aether’s will, and you can call me Ao.” The old man paused at this moment, his face growing solemn and full of respect as he clasped his hands and performed a deep bow.

“I would like to thank you for eradicating the alien invasion of the Depravita Race.

While I have a massive amount of power and energy at my disposal, Laws limit my actions.

Even if I know there is an alien, unless the Laws of the world detect them as one, I cannot act.

Your use of tribulation to circumvent that restriction was very ingenious.” Ao’s voice was full of sincerity, and it was clear how thankful the man was for Cain’s help.

He remained like that for a few seconds before straightening his position.

Cain felt that the entire situation was truly surreal, as he was talking to the world, but he simply remained silent and continued listening to Ao.

“As for Singularity, that is your title as the entity with the highest destiny of a confined realm.” Ao could see the confusion in Cain’s eyes and paused before giving a simpler explanation.

“You have improved your destiny to the point that every important event that happens inside the world revolves around you, like a black hole.” A sharp light appeared in Cain’s eyes as he finally understood what Singularity meant.

It was a title not born but earned by performing feats so immense that your name spread across the entire world as the highest there is.

Cain nodded to Ao, glad to finally get some answers, before speaking to the old man.

“Why am I here?” Ao smiled as he waved his hands, making a small table and a set of tea appear in the empty dimension, before sitting and gesturing for Cain to do the same.

Cain was not rude, and he sat along with the old man, taking a cup of tea and drinking a sip.

His eyes immediately widened as he felt a sense of peace and relaxation so profound and pure that he couldn’t believe it.

It lasted an entire minute, and once the feeling finally faded, a smile appeared on Cain’s face as he nodded to the old man.

The feeling of relaxation was something he truly needed after all this time of war and bloodshed.

Ao waited until Cain regained his focus before continuing to answer the young man’s question.

“As you know, someone with a soul force at the Divine Ascension Rank can trigger a Nine Heavens Ego Destruction Tribulation, but there is an even higher level, one that can only be attained by a world’s Singularity.

That is the Royal Nine Heavens Ego Destruction Tribulation, and upon surpassing it, you can become the absolute master of Aether, the World King.” A powerful light appeared in Cain’s eyes as he heard the term “World King.” He had no idea what it truly meant, but it made him feel it was extremely important.

Of course, Ao would not reveal such a majestic title just to leave Cain full of doubt, so he continued.

“A World King is someone capable of harmonizing their willpower with the ego of the world.

Of course, a single mind can’t become strong enough to harmonize with an entire world, but you managed to do it by drawing the will of the trillions of citizens of the Sacred Races.” There was admiration in Ao’s eyes as he was truly amazed by the feat Cain was able to perform, but he did not lose focus as he saw how the young man’s eyes were eager to know what kind of benefits he would obtain.

“As a World King, your talent in Concepts will rise immensely, and you will be able to command a fragment of the world’s power.

Although it is only a fraction, it would be enough for you to spread your consciousness throughout an entire continent and kill anyone at the Soul Realm.” Cain’s eyes widened, and he couldn’t help but smile as he heard those words.

He would be practically a god inside Aether, and he would be able to develop much higher strength through the Concepts, something very important given the current power and importance of his Ego Wave.

However, he could see that was not all, so he remained silent and focused.

The smile on the old man’s face began to widen as he carried on.

“Of course, those gains are impressive, but they will be of little help when you leave this world.

However, that is where the true powers of a World King come into play.

To understand that, you first must know the nature of the world you live in.” Cain’s eyes narrowed as he heard those words, and a term that Horus used came to his mind.

“A Seed World?”
