Although Cain asked the question, he did not expect an answer from Ao, as he knew the World Will had no idea why that dream illusion was put in place and seed to have no control over it. Thanks to his willpower, he was able to focus, and soon Cain's eyes grew sharp as he rembered Horus's words.
"If the dream illusion was spread across all worlds in the World Forge, then everybody who rose from them would bring a sense of animosity and racial hatred in their souls as they march into the Nine Empyrean Suns Universe." Cain could not help but clench his fists, thinking how a xenophobic universe would think of a world like Aether, where all Sacred Races were in harmony.
'They will loathe us; everybody will hate our guts and see us as an aberration that must be eliminated.' It was not hard to co to an idea of what might happen, and Cain's eyes turned eerily cold.
The easiest and least bloody path was to eliminate the light or dark camp, making sure Aether would align with the psychology that would surely reign in the Nine Empyrean Suns Universe. Cain had the power to carry out that genocide, but that would itself betray every effort and promise he had made.
Ao remained silent as he knew that Cain faced an extrely complicated decision right now. Yet, it did not take long before a sense of utter and absolute brutality began to erge in the young man's eyes.
Sharpness appeared in the eyes of the World Will as he saw that monstrous slaughter intent, and he could see it was not directed at the Sacred Races in Aether, but at what lay ahead. 'As expected, a World King would never succumb to the pressure and desire of others.
Instead of killing his people not to be attacked, he would set the universe ablaze, making sure that all those who challenge him either submit to his will or die.'
As Ao realized the intent in Cain's soul, his eyes started to burn with the sa slaughter and butchering intent. Every life in Aether was a piece of him, and he would kill anyone who dared to enforce their will on his people.
The World King and the World Will stared at each other and silently nodded. There were no words, but a decision was made, one that would determine the path Aether would take, regardless of the forces and monsters they would encounter in the future.
"Okay, since all those matters are handled, you must also carry on with the last part of the tribulation, your Ego's Disintegration and Rebirth." Ao's aura and temperant returned to that of the amicable old man as he spoke to Cain.
"Return to the tribulation? I thought I had already succeeded?" Cain asked with so confusion.
"You have indeed succeeded in becoming a World King, having integrated those streams of will from the trillions of life forms in Aether, but it is now ti for your willpower and Alter-Ego to return to your body," Ao spoke to the young man, giving Cain a few seconds to analyze his words.
Cain's eyes narrowed, and he imdiately understood the problem with his willpower returning to his Ego Eternal Matrix. Right now, his Ego Wave was the size of a continent, and there was no way his brain could hold so much power. It would be like asking a balloon to contain a gallon of water; it would explode!
Ao smiled and imdiately reassured the young man. "Please don't worry. While it is true that if your full willpower were to return to your Ego Matrix, this one would shatter, that is where The Phoenix Rebirth cos into play.
Your willpower will disintegrate before attaining a rebirth, just like anyone who endured the Nine Heavens Ego Destruction Tribulation. Of course, your case is special since during your rebirth, your Ego Wave will split in two: one piece will return to your body alongside your Alter Ego, while the other, larger side will beco the World King Avatar.
The World King Avatar will fuse with the will of the world, and you can harmonize with it to gain control over a piece of the world's energy, to train your Concept, and to improve your perception."
Cain nodded, and everything beca clear to him. There was no fear in his eyes when it ca to facing the destruction and rebirth of his Ego Wave as he was sure that it would be simpler than becoming the World King. However, he still had two matters to attend to before leaving this place.
"I have sothing to ask you. I have a friend who is currently in Hyperion Continent's capital, Anark. He helped greatly and gave access to the physical strength I used in taking down the Depravita Race. He is currently in soul form as his body is dead.
Is there a way to help him?" There was no way Cain would have forgotten the one who saved him in the Sacred Bloodline Realm and gave him access to the Primordial Path.
The reason Cain had yet to put in place a plan to help Anark was because he understood just how titanic a task it would be to help the soul of the Primordial to attain rebirth. Even with his current power and understanding of the soul, he was far from that level, but Ao was the World Will and might be capable of doing it.
Unfortunately for Cain, Ao imdiately shook his head. "I am sorry to say I cannot help him. I am aware of your friend's condition, and even though he is a life form that ca from beyond the Crystal Wall, the Laws no longer consider him an alien. However, his soul is too massive for to help it perform a proper rebirth.
After all, by what I can see, in its highest form, Anark was just as strong as the entire world."
