Chapter 1886: The glory of the Scarlet Path
The billions of people from Aether stood silently on the ground, eyes glued anxiously to the sky. Moments ago, they had witnessed a breathtaking scene—the massive embodiment of the Scarlet King’s willpower, the Primarch of Conquest Leviathan, had devoured Chief Counselor Minxet along with another mysterious figure. Following this shocking event, Cain had closed his eyes in deep concentration, leaving everyone to wait in suspense. Hours had already passed, yet no one moved, the tension palpable as they awaited what would happen next.
Finally, Cain’s eyes opened, gleaming with scarlet flames brighter than suns. In the very next instant, a figure emerged from the gaping maw of the Leviathan. It was a young man whose brilliant golden hair radiated a light capable of eclipsing mountains and rivaling stars. His aura was majestic, and yet, as everyone gazed upon him, they immediately recognized a familiar presence behind those powerful eyes.
"Hahahahahahaha!" A thunderous laughter erupted from the young man, booming across the heavens as his aura exploded outward, releasing a storm of vitality and energy. "This is amazing!"
Upon hearing Minxet’s distinctive voice emanate from the young man’s mouth, all doubts were instantly dispelled. Somehow, Cain had successfully transplanted Minxet’s soul and consciousness into this new body. Awe and astonishment flooded the hearts of everyone present, especially the strongest cultivators who understood the unprecedented nature of this accomplishment.
The Sky Sovereign, Alucard, Pation, Karter, and Lancer could not hide their shock and admiration as they stared at Minxet—now inhabiting the body of the Crown Prince of the Golden Star Kingdom. Their astonishment wasn’t merely due to the successful soul transfer; what truly left them speechless was the undeniable fact that there had been absolutely no reduction in the Crown Prince’s cultivation base.
Such a thing was supposed to be impossible. If Cain truly possessed such an ability, it meant he held power akin to manufacturing loyal Prima Deities at will.
Cain noticed the expressions of amazement and reverence in the eyes of his generals and allowed himself a subtle, knowing smile. Indeed, Conquest Incarnate Synthesis was incredibly powerful, but it was not without its drawbacks.
Firstly, it consumed an immense amount of energy—so much so that it had drained nearly half of the accumulated power from the Scarlet Throne. It would take several weeks for the throne to fully recharge. Furthermore, to perform the technique required a Prima Deity as a vessel, and that was not all.
Even though the integration was flawless, Minxet would still need decades to fully master and wield the Crown Prince’s immense strength, and potentially centuries before he could begin cultivating again and improving his already exceptional foundation.
Of course, considering Minxet’s newly obtained lifespan—one that stretched millions of years into the future—such time was inconsequential. However, in practical terms of warfare and strategy, this method was hardly cost-effective for creating soldiers. It was far more efficient to help cultivators nurture their Scarlet Leviathans and connect them directly with the Scarlet Throne, enabling them to form their Scarlet Stars naturally and effectively.
The real significance of this process was its utility as a unique reward and a means to elevate non-combat personnel. Minxet, despite his great intelligence and skill, would never have reached the Third Realm through cultivation alone, as he wasn’t particularly dedicated to personal cultivation. This new form removed the limitations of exhaustion and lifespan, allowing Cain to entrust monumental tasks to Minxet without reservation.
