The Epic Tale of Chaos vs Order

Chapter 567: Primordial Race (III)

Apexʼs voice echoed inside Cainʼs mind, and a profound light appeared in his eyes as he considered those words. He remembered part of his life, but it was true that there might be other reincarnations he might not remember. Besides, Apex was right, and playing along with Anark would be the right choice.

Anark did not rush Cain and waited for him to take his time and process all the information.

”I have no recollection of being part of a different race, but I cannot negate your words.”

Cain was wise with his words, not trying to feign that he knew what Anark was talking about, but he did not refuse the idea. Anarkʼs eyes remained the same this entire time, as the aura of Cainʼs Primordial Essence was all he needed.

”Could you tell me more about your race?”

A sense of delight and excitement appeared in Anarkʼs eyes as he heard that question, and it seemed it was something he was eager to speak about.

”Our race was born at the dawn of the universe. Stardust made our flesh, and nebulas with more heat than a sun formed our veins. We have a physical might that nothing in the universe can match, and the key behind this is the ability of our body, energy, and soul to act as a single force. Through this synergy, we can unleash physical might that could sunder supernovas!

And that is just our physical might. Our spirit can commune with the cosmos to the point that there is no difference between man and the world, allowing us to harness the might of the universe in our fists and a myriad of skills that no martial art could match.

We are the race that stands at the zenith of all life and regulates the order of all things!

We are the Primordial Race!”

A sense of awe and dread appeared in Cainʼs heart as he heard those words. The way Anark described the Primordial Race was like divine-like beings that stood at the apex of all things and traversed the stars with power nothing could match.

Being part of such a race was truly mind-blowing, but Cain did not lose himself in dreams. Even if he was once an entity of such might, that was no longer the case, and he was now a member of the Godslayer Humankind.

Or at least that was what he thought.

”There is a second reason I brought you here: to help you regain your racial heritage. I will aid you in becoming once again part of our race. You will regain your honor as a member of the Primordial Race.”

Cainʼs eyes widened as a sense of utter excitement emerged from his heart upon hearing those words. According to Anarkʼs description, the Primordial Race was, by definition, an ultimate existence with bodies capable of crushing worlds and whose power seemed to know no boundaries.

Becoming one of them would grant him a power high enough to break through his current predicament, but Cain was able to keep a cool head.

”How is that possible?”

No matter what kind of life form Cain was in the past, right now, he was 100% human, and that was not something that would change even if he were to awaken memories of previous reincarnations. After all, during the dream where he generated his Alter-Ego, he was able to perform incredible feats, but none of them carried on to his current life.

Even now, when Cain attained guidance of abilities of his previous life, such as Asura Form, the Eye of Gluttony, or The Flow, he was forced to train them from scratch, and those were just techniques. Anark described a much more complex and thorough process since it would mean changing his foundation.

Anark could figure out all the thoughts crossing Cainʼs mind, but his eyes were full of certainty, making it clear he did not speak those words lightly.

”The most important part of a life form is their Primordial Essence, and yours contains the aura of our kind. Using that as the basis, you can undertake the Primordial Path through the Inheritance of Spirit and the Inheritance of Flesh, awakening your racial heritage.”

Cainʼs eyes narrowed as he heard those words. It seemed that there were inheritances that could help someone whose Primordial Essence once carried the mark of the Primordial Race to regain their power. However, there was something that bothered him.

”Will that have a problem with my Paths of Power? Will I have to cultivate from scratch?”

Although the Primordial Path was undoubtedly amazing and seemed to contain immense power, getting rid of his Astral Rebirth Path of Power and Essence Evolution Path of Power was not something Cain was willing to do in a place full of dangers where a Dark King awaited him.

Luckily for Cain, that was not the case, and Anark immediately dissipated his worries.

”There is no need for that. The Primordial Path is not a Path of Power that will train your Sacred Organs but a change in your nature and race. Actually, they can complement each other, so you should still improve your Rebirth Heart and Evolution Core to the best of your capabilities.”

Cain smiled with thrill as he heard that and softly nodded. Not wanting to interrupt Anark again, he silently nodded and continued listening.

”The Inheritance of Spirit will focus on your ability to commune with the world, harnessing its power, as well as understanding its flaws, improving your strength and comprehension of the cosmic forces. As for the Inheritance of Flesh, that will focus on the state of your body, energy, and soul and their ability to achieve synergy.

I can impart the Inheritance of Spirit directly into your soul, and you can use it to start your training in the Primordial Path, but the Inheritance of Flesh is different. For that, you need a true Primordial to imbue your body, energy, and soul with theirs, awakening the dormant powers.

I cannot grant you the Inheritance of Flesh since I am currently just a soul, and to impart it, I need to attain Rebirth and regain my body.”
