Chapter 963: Everything was a dream
"A Seed World?"
Ao nodded as he continued. "Aether is currently located in a unique dimension known as the World Forge. It is vast beyond measure, with countless worlds, each housing trillions of life forms. These worlds are in a gestation process, growing stronger until they are powerful enough to evolve and rise beyond this dimension, to a higher one."
"What happens to all the people who leave through the Crystal Wall?" That was the first question that came to Cain's mind as he heard that the dimension in which Aether was found was called the World Forge.
"All those who ascend beyond the Divine Ascension Realm or forcefully make their way through the Crystal Wall were immediately expelled from the World Forge, being pulled into the Nine Empyrean Suns Universe." Ao paused at this point, a flash of envy in his eyes as he mentioned those people marching into that higher dimension beyond the World Forge.
Although Cain was surprised, everything made sense as he analyzed it. After all, there were supposed to be all kinds of majestic life forms in the Astral Sea, yet there had never been a recorded event of one of them even glancing around Aether.
As for the ones that made it here, they were either left with dead bodies like Anark or transformed into an ocean like the Blood Astral Beast, so the World Forge was not a place suitable for organic life.
"It is the goal of all life born in the World Forge to evolve beyond its confines, to leave the cradle and rise to the higher dimension that is the Nine Empyrean Suns Universe.
However, unlike humans who only need to reach beyond the Divine Ascension Rank, a world requires much more soul-tempering, which could take hundreds of millions of years or maybe even billions." Ao glanced at Cain at this point, his eyes glowing as if the young man was the highest treasure in the universe.
"This is where the true purpose of a World King comes in. You can fuse your willpower with Aether's will, allowing its spirit and ego to be stable enough to rise to the Nine Empyrean Suns Universe!"
Cain's eyes widened, and he couldn't help but smile. The Nine Empyrean Suns Universe was bound to be massive and full of dangers, but if he carried with him a fortress that was a world, he would have a haven to retreat to in case of problems.
However, while rising to the higher realm was one of Cain's ultimate goals and something he had wished for a long time, he could not forget the words Horus said during their last clash about how the Nine Empyrean Suns Universe would loathe his world and destroy him.
