Chapter 1654: Reaching the Golden Star Kingdom’s capital
Cain smiled softly, pleased but hardly surprised by the dramatic shift in the morale and attitude of his soldiers. Throughout countless campaigns and arduous wars, he had developed profound mastery over psychology, knowing precisely how to motivate and inspire those who followed him.
Cultivators were beings who had already willingly embraced a path rife with constant danger and possible death. What they sought was not mere safety or survival, but something far more meaningful—purpose, ambition, and clear pathways toward transcendent heights.
The Tribulation Enhancement granted precisely this: it was the perfect tool to ignite their fighting spirit, unlocking potential hidden within their very cells.
The Ouroboros System, meanwhile, clearly laid out before them a structured path toward further evolution and power.
Now that both the means and the path were clearly available, the once reluctant warriors were fully energized, eager to grasp the chance offered to them.
With the morale of his ordinary troops secured, Cain shifted his attention to the most critical warriors present. His eyes met those of Pation, Lancer, and Karter, giving each of them a deliberate, meaningful nod.
In response, the three Third-Realm Masters acknowledged Cain respectfully, each retrieving their treasured artifact.
Pation grasped his mighty bastard sword, a fierce blade befitting the Inferno Daemon’s fiery temperament. Lancer donned his imposing draconic armor, its surface glistening ominously as it fused seamlessly with his flesh, radiating formidable defensive prowess.
As for Karter, he took a deep, solemn breath, then plunged his hand directly into his chest, pulling out a strange, pulsating orb. It was a visceral sight, watching the child-like Third-Realm Master extract this artifact, yet it fascinated Cain deeply.
