Chapter 1781: Frightening a ArchDeity
There was little that the Lord of the Void would not do—or give up—to bring harm to the Ancestor of Heaven and Earth. But vengeance was never so simple.
One could not merely march into battle and expect victory, especially against someone like him. The Ancestor of Heaven and Earth was not only one of the oldest entities in the Chaos Beyond the Realm but also a master of alliances and manipulation. His web of influence extended across many Arch-Deities who held positions of power in the farthest reaches of the cosmos.
Even if the Ancestor had no allies, it still wouldn’t be that simple. The Lord of the Void, confident as he was in his strength, knew one undeniable truth: if he tried to attack the Ancestor of Heaven and Earth within his Divine Kingdom, he would lose. Every single time.
The realm was a fortress, a sanctum of power too vast to overcome in a direct confrontation. And the Ancestor was no fool—he would never leave it for an open duel in the lawless chaos.
Cain stood beside the Lord of the Void with a calm, collected smile, brimming with confidence. "The Blood Queen is one of the Prima Deities under the Ancestor of Heaven and Earth’s dominion," he said. "That woman attempted to corrupt my soul during our clash in the First Realm. I have every right to seek retribution. I will attack her Divine Kingdom and kill her. Given that I’ve already devoured part of her consciousness, I doubt she’ll be able to resist."
The Lord of the Void frowned as he listened to Cain’s proposal. Striking down one of the Ancestor’s subordinates would indeed weaken his sphere of influence—but it wasn’t quite the plan he had envisioned. Still, it was a start. However, a more pressing issue lingered in his mind.
"You’ve already used revenge as justification to bring down the Sun Lord," the Lord of the Void warned. "If you invoke it again so soon—especially to strike at another Prima Deity’s Divine Kingdom—the customs and unspoken rules surrounding vengeance may not be enough to stop the other Arch-Deities from intervening."
A cold, ruthless smile stretched across Cain’s face, his crimson eyes glowing faintly with a fire that had long since abandoned mercy. "That’s the entire point. I want the Ancestor of Heaven and Earth to come after me. I want to draw him out. To make him furious enough to step beyond the borders of his sanctuary."
The Lord of the Void’s brows furrowed. But after a moment of contemplation, his eyes widened with understanding.
