Chapter 2312: The third universe
Cain saw how Meylin and the Enlightened One left, and then turned his gaze toward the Demon King, a meaningful light crossing his eyes.
The Demon King showed a small smile as he understood Cain’s meaning. "I trust the little girl enough to put my life in her hands, just like you. And the Buddha is not the kind to betray trust. However, what we are going to discuss is extremely sensitive. If they do not become Alpha–Omega Overgods, they will not be part of what comes next, and if that is the case, it is best if they know nothing."
Cain nodded as he heard those words. He had carried the burden of leadership and understood that trust was not all that mattered when it came to secret knowledge.
"I assume things are not going well for the Life Path."
"Hahaha." The Demon King could not help but release a small laugh as he heard those words. "Ahhh, Life Path. I must admit I am truly awful at names. Adam was the same. I guess that is a curse all leaders bear."
Cain was confused by the reaction of the Demon King and wondered what the meaning of those words was. Luckily, the Demon King did not leave him in doubt, and immediately his eyes sharpened as he continued.
"What do you know exactly about the nature of the Life–Freedom War?"
Cain did not overthink it and simply replied. "It is a battle between your side, led by Depravita, and the Ancient One, led by Neo-Angels. The Ancient One wants to reach the peak of the tower to break the limit of the world and become a Fourth Realm life form. You, on the other hand, want to stop him, declaring that reaching the peak of the tower will cause all of it to break apart and kill everybody."
The Demon King nodded before staring directly into Cain’s eyes. "Tell me, if you had no relationship with me or the Ancient One, what path would you have chosen?"
Cain stared at the Demon King for a moment as he considered his answer before nodding.
