Cain inhaled deeply, calming the surge of greed and desire rising in his heart.
The temptation before him was imnse.
This place—this chamber hidden beneath the Everlife Continent—was ancient beyond reckoning. Ford long before the rise of most ArchDeities’ Heavens, the waters flowing through the Well of Endless Stars had been steeped in cosmic power across countless millennia. Every droplet contained echoes of laws—of gravity, of ti, of space—condensed into a stream capable of elevating even ArchDeities in their cultivation.
If it had been possible to move the well, Divine Sea would have taken it to her domain long ago, protecting it if it were her greatest treasure, because in a way, it was. But the well was bound to the earth, tied into the very spiritual lattice of the continent. Any attempt to excavate it would collapse the surrounding ley lines and awaken dormant catastrophes better left undisturbed.
Secrecy had been her safeguard.
She had cultivated here in silence for millions of years, protecting the well’s location with layers of illusion, barriers, and misdirection from the ti she was rely a Divine Trascendence Master. It was her greatest secret—and her greatest lucky chance.
Until soone betrayed her.
And now, Cain stood where no outsider ever should have.
Without a word, Divine Sea guided him forward, stopping several paces from the well’s glowing rim. The light it emitted was not harsh, but soft—like a galaxy suspended in water, spiraling slowly in a never-ending dance.
Raising her hand, Divine Sea made a slight gesture, but with it, a portion of her soul fused into the waters, making them tremble for a instant.
The figure of Divine Sea seed to reflect inside the well for a mont, and after making sure it worked, she turned toward Cain.
"It is done," she said quietly. "I’ve adjusted the well’s output. You’ll receive a foundation’s worth of liquid essence. No more."
Her tone sharpened.
"When that quota is t, the fragnt of my will inside the well will reject you. If you remain... I will kill you."
There was no threat in her voice—just an unshakable promise. Divine power glinted in her eyes, and Cain knew she wasn’t bluffing.
To test her would an a fight to the death.
Cain didn’t flinch.
Instead, a faint smile tugged at the corners of his lips.
"I’m not foolish enough to incite the wrath of two ArchDeities," he said calmly. "At least... not yet."
He didn’t speak the last part aloud.
His eyes flicked toward Divine Sea, and for a mont, their gazes locked in silence.
Then, with a slight nod, she turned and vanished through the tunnels.
Cain watched her disappear, then activated the A.I. Chip Module. In seconds, it confird her presence had exited the cave entirely. Only then did he step forward into the Well of Endless Stars.
The water wrapped around him like silk—but the mont it touched his skin, a cascade of divine sensation exploded through his body.
An avalanche of enlightennt slamd into his consciousness.
It wasn’t rely spiritual—it was cosmic.
This was deeper than the Soul Enlightennt Mist of the Second Layer of the Samsara Arsenal. This was not just knowledge. This was truth—the foundational code of the universe whispered directly into his soul.
And in that mont, Cain felt small.
But also limitless.
He exhaled, releasing every thought and desire from his mind, and sank into the stillness of true cultivation.
Within his Inner World, change had already begun.
It was vast—colossal beyond asure—stretching out in all directions. At its center stood the World Tree, tall enough to pierce the clouds, its branches glittering with divine light. Its roots sank into rivers of energy, threading through continents like veins of molten crystal.
Around the tree, the lands blood with divine energy. Mountains of silver light. Oceans of starfire. Skies shimring with celestial auroras.
Above it all burned his Proto-Laws—the stars of his realm.
Five of them glowed with elental power: fire, water, earth, wind, and lightning. Their radiance nourished the Inner World, making the air itself thick with divine essence.
But they were overshadowed by three new Proto-Laws, burning so brightly they warped the space around them.
To the left was a sphere of void, rimd with violet-red arcs, sucking light inward. A place where motion died and nothing could escape.
Event Horizon Proto-Law.
To the right, there was a swirling sphere of grey distortion, where ti folded and space curved in ways the mortal mind could not comprehend.
Spaceti Collapse Proto-Law.
At the center, one could see a jet-black orb that swallowed all light, surrounded by rings of crushing force and shimring collapse.
Singularity Core Proto-Law.
These three were the culmination of his mastery over the Laws of Gravity, Ti, and Space—and the keys that allowed him to train the Abyssal Singularity Scripture.
With them, Cain had pushed his Essence Evolution Path to the very peak of the Divine Transcendent Realm.
But to fight Divine Calamity’s true form—to truly stand on equal footing with soone who reached the Fifth Realm of the Ego Eternal Path of Power—he needed more.
He needed to evolve his Inner World into an Inner Universe.
That transformation was no small feat.
Under normal circumstances, to evolve an Inner World like Cain’s, it would require thousands of years of cultivation, perfect alignnt of Laws, and resources that not even Peak Prima Deities could gather.
But Cain had what most did not.
The World Tree, which carried a simply gargantuan amount of energy and countless Law fragnts from all the Inner World and Inner Universe he had devoured.
And the Well of Endless Stars, now flooding his soul with pure creation energy.
Now was the mont.
Cain raised his hands and began to guide the waters of the well into the core of his Inner World.
To an outsider, it was a quiet process. No thunder. No screaming. No shaking.
But inside Cain’s soul—it was a cosmic eruption.
Each drop that entered his Inner World did not stay a drop. It expanded. Grew. Multiplied. Like stardust reborn, it poured into every grain of soil, every stream, every gust of wind. The trees thickened. The skies grew deeper. The Laws shimred brighter.
