The Epic Tale of Chaos vs Order

Chapter 1783: DREAM

The reason Cain channeled every single iota of Origin Force obtained from the other Innate Abilities into Supercomputer Assistance, rather than dividing it equally with Reaper’s Touch, as he had previously done, revolved entirely around his Dream.

In the Crimson World, the concept of a Dream was fundamental for cultivators who had ascended to the Third Realm. It wasn’t merely a metaphorical goal or aspiration; instead, it formed the very essence of their cultivation paths.

The Dream was the true core of their being—a unique manifestation representing their deepest ideals, strengths, and the path they walked toward surpassing the endless tides of time itself, ultimately achieving immortality capable of sundering galaxies.

The creation of a Dream was based on fusing compatible Oniric Truths—intrinsic principles and insights cultivated over countless years of arduous effort. By merging these compatible truths, cultivators could grow significantly stronger, creating something far greater and infinitely more powerful than the sum of their individual parts.

Unlike the Path of Eternal Power from the Nine Empyrean Suns Universe, which inherently tethered cultivators’ paths to their nature and will, Dreams in the Crimson World offered a completely open and flexible foundation. In theory, Cain could even forge a Dream rooted entirely in peace, compassion, or forgiveness if he wished. However, such a path would have been absurdly counterproductive to his ultimate objectives.

Yet this freedom posed a significant risk. Precisely because the cultivation of a Dream was entirely subjective and dependent on personal choices, many things could easily go awry.

It was entirely possible that the Oniric Truths chosen for fusion might lack genuine compatibility. At best, such forced mergers would create a fragile Dream, weakening cultivation progress. At worst, it would entirely halt the cultivator’s development, condemning their future efforts to stagnation.

Thus, under normal circumstances, cultivators spent tens or even hundreds of thousands of years meticulously exploring the countless affinities between Oniric Truths. They endlessly experimented, striving to discover the perfect combination that would enable them to push past the Arch-Deity Realm and step confidently toward genuine immortality.

But Cain had neither the luxury of time nor patience for such prolonged experimentation. His solution was both practical and ingenious—he chose to push his Supercomputer Assistant to evolve to the point it could fully analyze and simulate the complex compatibility among Oniric Truths.

This strategy mirrored the approach he had employed back in the Gu World, with his A.I. Chip and Ego Core.

Having absorbed every bit of Origin Force from nineteen Prima Deities’ Innate Abilities, Cain immediately sensed a profound transformation within his Supercomputer Assistant. His mind trembled briefly, and a sudden, intense dizziness overcame him, momentarily plunging his vision into complete darkness.

When he finally regained clarity, Cain perceived the Innate Ability had astonishingly condensed into a minuscule dot of energy—smaller even than a grain of sand. Despite its negligible size, he intuitively understood the unimaginable power contained within it. It was as if an entire ocean of dense, intricate energy had been compressed into a single, microscopic point.

”In terms of sheer density,” Cain thought with genuine awe, ”it hardly falls behind the Scarlet Throne itself.”

With this realization, Cain knew unequivocally that Supercomputer Assistance had evolved, transcending its previous limits to become an Innate Ability of Arch-Deity Rank.

A surge of excitement and satisfaction swept through Cain’s soul. Fortunately, the profound stability granted by his True Name effortlessly kept his Black Hole in perfect harmony, easily containing this newfound magnitude of power without any detrimental strain.

Eager to proceed swiftly, Cain issued an immediate mental command, his intentions precise and unambiguous:

”Supercomputer Assistant, analyze and forge a Dream centered around Devouring, Evolution, and Absolute Control. Utilize the Oniric Truths of Gluttony and Dominion as the core foundation. Craft a Dream through which my will can permeate every aspect of existence, binding everything intimately to my heart and mind—yet simultaneously enhancing their power, allowing each entity’s individuality and ego to remain intact.”

In the Nine Empyrean Suns Universe, Cain had championed the Path of Conquest, which was primarily based on evolution, influence, and unification. Although he had stood at the center of it, his ultimate goal had never been simple domination or control.

Instead, Cain had envisioned a path guiding others toward becoming superior versions of themselves—uniting various races into a singular, unstoppable force. His profound desire was to eliminate irrational racial boundaries, to allow individuals genuine freedom—freedom to hate based solely on personal choice and sincere conviction rather than billions of years of indoctrination.

However, circumstances differed drastically in the Crimson World. Here, overt xenophobia and racially-driven prejudice were virtually nonexistent. While humans were widespread, countless other races coexisted harmoniously. Conflicts like the feud between Angels and Dragons certainly existed, but such animosities arose naturally, rooted in genuine grievances rather than true prejudice or indoctrination.

Cain had no issue with genuine hatred or rivalry born from authentic conflicts. For him, it was perfectly acceptable. His path in the Crimson World thus demanded no intricate strategies to alter ingrained prejudices or minds. Instead, it required straightforward, immense power—the ability to compel compliance whenever necessary, ensuring he steadily climbed higher toward ultimate supremacy.

Why did Cain relentlessly pursue such enormous power?

His motivation was straightforward yet profoundly human—he simply desired to know firsthand what it truly felt like to stand at the very pinnacle of the universe.

”The view from the top must truly be extraordinary,” Cain mused quietly to himself.

Almost immediately, the Supercomputer Assistant’s robotic voice echoed clearly within his mind:

[Beep... Task assigned.]

With the critical task assigned, Cain swiftly turned his focus inward. Closing his eyes, he entered a deep meditative state, fully concentrating on the intricate resonance network developing throughout his cellular structure.

Despite leveraging the immense power of his Divine Kingdom, constructing the resonance network required extraordinary effort and control. Each cellular connection demanded precision, resilience, and concentration beyond ordinary limits. Cain persisted relentlessly, maintaining this rigorous training and refinement without pause.

Finally, after an exhaustive half-year of constant training and unwavering effort, Cain reopened his eyes. A dazzling, intricate network of sky-blue lines now covered every inch of his skin, glowing softly yet distinctly—a visible sign indicating he had successfully completed the formation of his resonance network for the Primeval Genesis Body.

Typically, reaching this stage would mark the beginning of another challenging journey—acquiring rare bloodlines from the Third Realm and securing precious treasures of the five elements. Cultivators normally had to painstakingly search and acquire these items to perfect their Primeval Genesis Body.

However, Cain simply smiled calmly, without concern. He had already secured everything necessary long ago.
