The Epic Tale of Chaos vs Order

Chapter 741: Back to the Samsara Sacrifical Ground

The First Collapsing Lightning Pillar sighed as he took a deep bow. He understood how narrow-minded he had been and that his prejudice had blocked his view of the big picture.

That realization was not easy to accept, and many people would refuse to change their beliefs, but the First Collapsing Lightning Pillar had never been someone afraid of chance and retrospection.

”I understand. I think the Collapsing Lightning Duke should accompany the Scarlet Ambassadors. My prejudice might affect the negotiations.”

”No. You will be the one taking that role. You must learn to control your emotions and rise above them, seeing the entire picture.”

Cain immediately refused the request of the First Collapsing Lightning Pillar, as this mission was also a training for the man. He wanted the First Collapsing Lightning Pillar to learn how to control his emotions and expand his view of things, as it would help him not only in daily life but also on the battlefield.

The First Collapsing Lightning Pillar did not say another word as he nodded. He was determined to use this instance to strengthen his mind and broaden his vision of the world.

”Go. I want a full report in a month.”

The First Collapsing Lightning Pillar, Hellblazer Duke, Magnus, and Lurin bowed toward Cain before leaving the castle.

Once that was handled, Cain turned to the rest of the great generals and proceeded to give them their missions.

”I have already sent your missions into your A.I. Chips. Focus on fortifying this location and the construction of a true Titan Tower. You must not grow complacent due to my power, as even I could fall to an ambush.”

As they heard those words, a sharp light appeared in the great generals, and all of them adopted solemn expressions. Although they were in enemy territory, they felt confident due to the aura and overwhelming power of the Scarlet King, but those words brought them back to reality.

They all clasped their fists and performed deep bows before exiting the castle, leaving only Cain and the Collapsing Lightning Duke inside.

Cain turned to the Collapsing Lightning Duke for a moment as a decisive light appeared in his eyes.

”Do you carry with you your most precious belongings?”

Although the Collapsing Lightning Duke was slightly confused by that question, he softly nodded toward Cain.

”Yes, my King. Is there something you need?”

”Itʼs not that. You will understand in a minute. Go and bring the Chimera King and Unbreakable King here.”

Cain said nothing else, and the Collapsing Lightning Duke did as told. The man nodded before flashing to the main Star Cruiser, took out the two Dark Kings from the prison, and returned to the castle in less than ten seconds.

Cain glanced at the two unconscious Dark Kings and nodded before walking toward the Collapsing Lightning Duke and putting his hand on the shoulder of this one.

”Do not resist.”

The Collapsing Lightning Duke had just heard those words when he felt a force grabbing his body and seeking to teleport him. He had the power to fight back but did not do it, and the next second, he found himself in a dimension with a dark sky and barren ground covered in a faint purple mist.

Just as he was about to ask what this place was, the Collapsing Lightning Duke saw hundreds of thousands of unconscious people on the ground in front of him. He immediately recognized them, as they were the old Azure King and criminals from the Azure Bloodline that Cain had supposedly killed.

”Accompany me.”

Cain did not bother to explain the people with the Azure Bloodline and simply began to walk toward the Samsara Sacrificial Ground.

The Collapsing Lightning Duke knew that those people had not perished since he saw how they were teleported before the golden flame appeared. While he was curious about what they were doing here, he nodded toward the Scarlet King and followed him.

It did not take long for the duo to cross the gates of the Samsara Sacrificial Ground. Immediately, the eyes of the Collapsing Lightning Duke widened as he stared at the Samsara Flame. The True Titan had seen all sorts of phenomena and wonders in his life, but that flame was by far the most majestic of all.

”Come on.”

Cainʼs voice woke the man from his stupor, and both continued walking until they were before the Samsara Flame.

”This is the Samsara Flame. It is a cosmic force even I donʼt fully understand, but any sacrifice made to it will bring forth Fortune. The stronger and more precious the sacrifice, the greater the amount of Fortune you will gain.

That Fortune will then transform into a Gift and Merit. Through this power, I obtained my Space-Time Eye and my Tier I Rebirth Mark, which allows me to burn 25% of my life force without permanent repercussions and which will heal with time.”

The Collapsing Lightning Dukeʼs eyes widened as he heard those words. Although he had not asked, there was no way he would not have noticed Cainʼs third eye and how this one seemed to grant a frankly monstrous power over space.

He had also noticed the rune in Cainʼs hand, but only now he knew its power, and it was just as shocking. If he had something like that during his fight with the Void King, he would have undoubtedly defeated that Dark King and might even have killed him if the right opportunity presented itself.

”You have the power to keep this secret, and most importantly, you have gained my trust. Use the Samsara Flame to strengthen yourself and serve me better in the future.”

The Collapsing Lightning Duke trembled as he heard those words and immediately knelt on the ground. His eyes burned with gratitude and resolution as he understood this place must be one of Cainʼs biggest secrets, yet he opened the gates to him.

”I will not fail you!”
