Chapter 1697: Back to the underworld
Cain took a deep breath, savoring the remarkable enhancements to his stats. Yet the thing that truly thrilled him was the new Proto-Law he had forged.
“Tempering Flame.” Merely uttering its name filled Cain’s heart and soul with a sense of boundless power and limitless potential. Unlike the natural Laws that Cain had previously needed to comprehend and harmonize with, the Proto-Law of Tempering Flame was something he himself had to develop and nurture.
It was a demanding path that required tremendous effort and perseverance, yet the power it promised was utterly overwhelming.
Just forging merely one percent of the Proto-Law had allowed Cain to shatter the boundary that separated a mere Inner World from becoming an Inner Universe.
“According to my understanding,” Cain mused thoughtfully, his eyes reflecting profound ambition, “the reason Archdeities of the Essence Evolution Path wield such immense power is precisely because they’ve completed their Proto-Laws, becoming true Forgers of Creation. They wield forces that transcend the universe’s own natural Laws—the very powers that shape reality itself.”
Just thinking about possessing that level of cosmic might made Cain’s blood surge with excitement and anticipation.
Though the intoxicating prospect of such power was tempting, Cain swiftly steadied his emotions. He breathed deeply, regaining composure before merging once more with the soul of Jarkal trapped within the Scarlet Throne.
Cain’s demeanor subtly shifted, becoming fierce, proud, and imposing, precisely matching Jarkal’s original temperament. However, this subtle alteration of personality was of no real significance to Cain.
With controlled determination, Cain concentrated the entirety of his Ego Wave into his Evolution Core, sharply elevating the power of his Essence Evolution Path of Power to the Third Realm.
