Chapter 978: Revealing the truth
Those words made the eyes of the 13 Stars of Doomsday glow, and immense sharpness emanated from all of their bodies. Although the Scarlet King had not said anything else, it was clear that the Thirteen Floors of the Babel Tower were related to them.
"At the climactic end of the Scarlet Tournament, you will face each other in a battle, each determined to secure your ranking. Thanks to your Pseudo Immortal Bodies, you can go all out. The victor will be the first to land a blow on a vital organ.
Forbidden are attacks on the Sacred Organs and the burning of your life force." Cain's voice carried a hint of a smile as he addressed the group, their eyes ablaze with fierce determination.
Competition was an excellent tool for enhancing people, constantly driving them to higher stages. Of course, it had dangers, but Cain was sure he could maintain order and prevent any mishap.
The 13 Stars of Doomsday glanced at each other in silence, all driven by a desire to defeat the others and take the higher floors. It would not only mean immense honor but also put them closer to the Scarlet King.
Cain allowed the focus to remain on the fight among the thirteen for a moment before an extremely solemn and sharp expression appeared on his face. This expression of absolute focus and gravity drew the attention of the Six Chief Councilors and the 13 Stars of Doomsday.
The gravity in that expression reminded them of when the Scarlet King led them into the war against Dark Sky, so it was clear that the next topic would be the most important of all.
"Right now, Aether finds itself in a dimension known as the World Forge. It is a unique dimension that seems to hold growing Seed Worlds until they are mature and strong enough to rise into the Nine Empyrean Suns Universe." Cain's voice was sharp as he proceeded to reveal this knowledge.
The terms Seed World and Nine Empyrean Suns Universe were not foreign to the people present as they had heard them when Horus shouted at the Scarlet King during their multiple clashes. However, it was the first time they heard about the World Forge, and it was a shocking realization to learn they were in some sort of world womb.
Cain allowed the group a moment to analyze his words before continuing. "Normally, it would take Aether hundreds of millions of years to rise to the Nine Empyrean Suns Universe, but things have changed now that I became the World King. With my mind as a catalyst, Aether will rise to the higher dimension and bring all of us with it."
Smiles appeared on the faces of all the warriors present as there was no greater goal for a life form than to explore what lay in the Astral Sea. Many of those present already had the cultivation base needed to perform that feat, and now that the war was over, nothing bound them to the world anymore.
