Chapter 804: Codex of Infinite Pathways (II)
The First Collapsing Lightning Pillar could see the agony in Cain's eyes, but he could do nothing. He had also experienced the pain of the Rebirth Mark radically growing, and it was not a joke.
Cain clenched his fists so hard that his palms began to bleed. He just kept enduring the pain until, finally, the runic lines stopped expanding, allowing him to relax. Cold sweat covered his entire body, but a smile appeared on his face as he gazed at the runic lines wrapping his whole forearm.
"Congratulations. You have accumulated enough Merit to evolve your Tier I Rebirth Mark into a Tier II Rebirth Mark. You can now burn 50% of your life force without permanent repercussions. It will heal over time, or you can speed it up using treasures.
Continue the hard work to unlock the complete Rebirth Knight Runic Set. The more precious the sacrifice, the better. I also like evil things, so make sure to bring me sinful entities."
The voice from the Samsara Flame emerged, but there was no will this time, just a preprogrammed message.
Cain was not surprised as he was sure he would only interact with that entity again once he reached the Second Layer of the [Samsara Arsenal Module]. He stood up before glancing at the Codex of Infinite Pathways and the Nihility Veil.
There was no hesitation on Cain's face as he sent his Ego Wave into The Codex of Infinite Pathways. He expected the treasure to absorb the energy of his willpower, just like all others, but something else happened.
Shock appeared in Cain's eyes as the Codex of Infinite Pathways bound his Ego Wave for a moment. Before he could do anything, it seemed to harmonize with his willpower, and it started to read his memories!
No matter the treasure's origin or its value, Cain would never allow anything to search through his memories. After all, he had too many secrets, such as being a Reincarnator, the Absolute Life Form System, and Apex.
However, just as he was about to take drastic action, Cain realized that the Codex of Infinite Pathways just went through the memories related to his common knowledge of the world. And even if he wanted to do something, it was so fast that before he could react, the Codex of Infinite Pathways cut its connection with his memories.
The next second, the Codex of Infinite Pathways began to vibrate and released shockwaves of multicolored power that seemed to fuse with the Laws of the universe, making shock and awe appear in Cain and the First Collapsing Lightning Pillar.
They remembered how the entity inside the Samsara Flame told them that the Codex of Infinite Pathways would adapt to the reality in which it found itself, using the Laws and cosmic force to fill its pages. Honestly, the duo believed this was hyperbole, as the notion that something like that could happen was simply absurd, yet it occurred right before their eyes.
