Chapter 1610: The Sky Sovereign’s new body

Reverend Madness, being the relentless madman desperate for survival that he was, eventually arrived at an extraordinary solution to combat the relentless erosion of his lifespan. His plan involved merging directly with the World Will itself, becoming an integral part of its existence.

Through this union, he envisioned himself siphoning energy continually harvested from the Gu Contest, gradually cleansing his essence from the decay of death and reconstructing his damaged soul. Ultimately, Reverend Madness sought nothing less than a complete rebirth that would grant him an entirely fresh lifespan and unparalleled potential.

However, before this daring ambition could be actualized, Reverend Madness knew there were numerous vital preparations he needed to undertake meticulously. First and foremost, he hid the Gu World deeply within layers upon layers of spatial constructs, isolating it from external detection. The only way to access this hidden realm became a specific formation within the Gu Sect, ensuring that no outsider would disrupt his healing and reconstruction process.

Following this strategic isolation, Reverend Madness established an influential Holy Tier Organization, meticulously selecting his descendants and teaching them a unique cultivation technique known as the “Nightmare Lord.” On the surface, this method appeared to empower his lineage, granting them immense strength and spiritual enhancement. However, there was a darker truth hidden behind this technique—a sinister purpose unknown even to its practitioners.

The Nightmare Lord technique subtly altered its practitioners, gradually reshaping their bodies, souls, and innate potential. These modifications were meticulously calculated by Reverend Madness himself, transforming each practitioner into a perfect vessel ideally suited for possession. Reverend Madness was not one to leave things to mere chance, and thus, he orchestrated every detail with chilling precision.

The organization he founded came to be known as the Nightmare Kingdom. It was no coincidence that the Night Prince had been possessed. From the very moment of his birth, the Night Prince was meticulously shaped, guided, and essentially bred for the singular purpose of becoming Reverend Madness’s future vessel.

As these truths surfaced clearly within Cain’s mind, his gaze fell thoughtfully upon the corpse lying lifeless at his feet. With Reverend Madness’s soul thoroughly extracted and devoured by the Scarlet Throne, the body before him was little more than an empty shell devoid of any consciousness or spiritual essence.

Yet, Cain’s eyes sparkled with a meaningful glint as he observed the remnants scattered across the devastated battlefield, ultimately locating the severed lower half of the corpse lying a short distance away.

With a simple, graceful gesture, Cain effortlessly summoned the lower half towards himself, guiding it gently until it reunited seamlessly with the rest of the body. Taking a deep, steadying breath, Cain’s eyes glowed as he activated the Concept of Life. Instantly, waves of healing energy flooded the corpse, initiating a profound and miraculous transformation.

For nearly half an hour, Cain patiently channeled the powerful life force into the Night Prince’s broken body. Gradually, the shattered flesh, severed bones, and torn tissues knitted themselves together, regenerating at an astonishing speed. Eventually, the Night Prince’s physical form appeared completely restored, as pristine and flawless as it had once been during his life.

However, beneath the surface, the situation was far more complex. Despite Cain’s formidable capabilities, restoring Sacred Organs such as the Rebirth Heart, Evolution Core, and the brain containing the Soul Dimension proved significantly more challenging. Although possible, such repairs ordinarily required years of meticulous care and immense resources.

Yet Cain held an advantage unique to his current position—he stood within the Gu World. His Ego Wave emerged, flooding into the sky and merging with the vast psychic ocean representing the World Will. Cain had devoured Reverend Madness’s soul and absorbed the entirety of his accumulated knowledge and memories. Consequently, he now possessed a profound mastery over the manipulation of the Gu World’s origin energy—the fundamental lifeblood of the world.

In any other realm, harnessing such precious energy would invite severe repercussions from a sentient World Will. However, the fractured World Will of the Gu World held no sentience or awareness, leaving Cain unopposed. Without hesitation, he channeled this extraordinary origin energy, seamlessly blending it with the Concept of Life and infusing it directly into the Night Prince’s restored corpse.

Within mere moments, the previously dormant corpse trembled violently, radiating powerful waves of vitality, soul force, and psychic energy. Under the influence of the World’s origin power, the once damaged Sacred Organs rapidly regenerated, returning to absolute perfection in less than five minutes.

Cain ceased channeling energy into the corpse, a satisfied smile illuminating his expression. Aside from lacking a conscious Ego Wave and personal awareness, the body was indistinguishable from its previous living state.

With a gentle wave of his hand, Cain transported the corpse into his Soul Dimension. Immediately afterward, Cain’s avatar materialized within the dimension, a broad smile appearing on his face as he stared at the Sky Sovereign.

“As agreed,” Cain stated clearly, presenting the perfectly reconstructed body of the Night Prince. “This vessel possesses dual cultivation potential and unmatched latent ability, and it was specifically engineered to facilitate seamless possession. With this, you can rapidly assimilate and completely control the body within weeks, avoiding the usual complications and severe drawbacks associated with traditional possession methods.”

The Sky Sovereign’s gaze intensified with intrigue as he carefully inspected the body presented before him.

Indeed, the Night Prince’s form was flawless, surpassing his most ambitious expectations. Usually, possession would significantly impair the talent, potential, and future progress of the possessor. However, this particular vessel was crafted explicitly by Reverend Madness to ensure the opposite outcome, granting the possessor unparalleled potential and seamless integration.

However, the Sky Sovereign recognized that the Night Prince’s body had never trained in any techniques or concepts related to Fire Star Power or the Laws of Fire. Consequently, he would have to begin training anew, starting from the foundational level.

Yet, even this potential disadvantage hardly diminished the Sky Sovereign’s enthusiasm. With his powerful and ancient soul still intact, he knew that progress would come swiftly, and ultimately, his achievements could far exceed even his past glory.

Cain continued confidently, “I will utilize my mastery of the Concept of Life to permanently merge your soul with this vessel, effectively granting you a rebirth. Once completed, our paths will diverge. However,” he added, his voice adopting a conspiratorial edge, “I have another proposition for you, should you find yourself interested.”

A cunning gleam appeared unmistakably in Cain’s eyes, further piquing the Sky Sovereign’s curiosity. Unable to suppress his eagerness, the Sky Sovereign nodded carefully, prompting Cain to swiftly elaborate upon his ambitious proposal.

“I can further enhance your rebirth,” Cain explained firmly, “by granting you all memories, skills, and knowledge previously belonging to the Night Prince. Your soul’s aura will perfectly match his, and for all intents and purposes, you will become him. With your new identity, you’ll ‘betray’ the Gu Sect, join the Golden Star Kingdom, and together, we’ll ensure you rise swiftly to become the next leader of the Lord Tier Organization.”
