Chapter 2328: Masked Race
Cain remained focused on the statue of the Samsara Lord for several minutes, his gaze unwavering as he tried to pierce deeper into its nature. He extended his perception again and again, searching for hidden power, lingering will, or some concealed mechanism embedded within the stone. Yet no matter how thoroughly he examined it, there was nothing beyond the familiar aura he had already sensed.
Confusion flickered in his eyes.
Cain already knew that the influence of the Samsara Lord had spread into the Crimson World. The Neo-Demon Core within his heart was proof of that fact. However, from everything he had learned so far, it seemed that the Samsara Lord adopted a very detached approach.
He influenced worlds through the Neo-Demon Core and the Samsara Arsenal, yet never truly played a direct hand in the events that unfolded across the universe.
From what Cain understood, there had been no sign of the Samsara Lord making any direct move during the Great War that had taken place billions of years ago.
"He helps those he considers worthy, but it is up to those warriors to determine the fate of their homes—not him."
That was the conclusion Cain had reached regarding the Samsara Lord’s behavior. Strangely enough, he found it fair. After all, struggle itself was a fundamental part of growth. Without it, evolution of both strength and will would be meaningless.
Not wanting to waste too much time trying to comprehend a figure that existed on a plane of existence he could not yet even measure, Cain turned away from the statue. Once more, he moved through the ancient city, carefully retracing his steps to see if he had missed anything of importance.
He found nothing.
As he continued analyzing the nature of Origin Island, an idea slowly began to take shape in his mind.
"This place came from somewhere else... from a location where the laws and rules are so mighty that even those at the peak of the Third Realm could barely harm it."
It was a place where beings like the Samsara Lord were not only recognized but worshipped.
