Chapter 1883: Leaving the world empty (II)
Cain’s presence immediately spread across the entire Everlife Continent. Every single organization gazed into the sky, feeling a mixture of wonder, dread, and admiration as they sensed his overwhelming arrival. The news of a change in rulership throughout the continent had already become a widely accepted fact, especially after the shocking return of the Sky Sovereign—a legendary entity thought to have perished millions of years ago—and the consolidation of power by the Prima Deities from the Gu Sect and the leader of the Eclipse School.
In the past months, these four Prima Deities had already begun spreading the influence of the Scarlet Path across the continent, initiating a massive purge that reached catastrophic proportions. Some organizations were merely inspected, carefully scrutinized, and left to their own devices if found acceptable, while others were mercilessly exterminated without a second thought.
Notably, this process wasn’t limited to weaker organizations at the Holy or lower tiers; even powerful Lord-Tier organizations such as the Golden Star Kingdom faced swift and brutal eradication. Thousands upon thousands of cultivators from the Golden Star Kingdom were slaughtered without resistance, as their own Prima Deities had chosen not to return home, abandoning their kingdom altogether.
The Golden Star Kingdom’s Prima Deities understood clearly that returning meant facing compatibility tests with the Scarlet Path—tests they knew they would fail, ultimately leading to their assimilation into the Scarlet Throne. Thus, rather than confronting such an inevitable fate, they fled.
A similar scenario played out among the Elders of the Eclipse School, leaving only Alucard, who now held sole authority over the entire school. Although the cleansing process was undeniably bloody and ruthless, the actual number of deaths was comparatively low. This was mainly because most of the wicked and evil Divine Cultivators had already been massacred by the Scarlet Path’s forces at the shore of the Endlessdeath Continent during the previous conflict. Furthermore, the four Prima Deities had adhered strictly to Cain’s command, refusing to harm any lifeforms below the Divine Realm.
Cain understood very well that many of these lower-level individuals would struggle to adapt to the Scarlet Path. However, it was still possible to open their minds to a new path, so they would get a chance. Even those beyond redemption were easier to control and suppress at lower cultivation levels, rendering their rebellion virtually harmless. In other words, these people would have a chance to amend their ways, embrace the Scarlet Path, or else face imprisonment and eventual extermination if they refused.
Upon his arrival in the Everlife Continent, Cain easily acquired a detailed understanding of everything that had transpired in his absence by directly tapping into the Scarlet Leviathans within Alucard and the others. A broad smile appeared on his face as he felt deep satisfaction with their ruthless yet precise approach: Absolute brutality when necessary, tempered by mercy and opportunity when earned.
Although he was very satisfied, this was not the time for praise. Cain’s sharp gaze quickly located an empty, desolate region near a vast mountain range along the continent’s coastline. This place lacked any significant living creatures or valuable resources, making it ideal for his purpose. Without hesitation, Cain waved his hand, instantly flattening the terrain with astonishing ease, eradicating mountains and leveling the landscape.
