Apotheosis

If Zen had been promised this when he had just entered the Source World, he would have agreed without hesitation.

Back then he had quite a shallow understanding of the entire chaos and reviving the Nine Li race was all there was on his mind.

But now, his horizons had been broadened and his knowledge expanded, so naturally his goals had changed as well.

"Revive our Nine Li race and bring my grandfather back to life?" Zen replied with a smile. "As far as I know, there isn't much time left in the current round of chaos. So what would be the purpose of me reviving the Nine Li race? It will be destroyed with the ending of the chaos anyway."

The ruling civilizations present all nodded in agreement. When a round of chaos was coming to an end, all within it became meaningless.

All substances would disappear and turn into the most primitive energy of the Great Unity, and all that had happened in the past would be reset.

"Don't get too greedy," the Grandmaster of Heaven continued, trying to persuade him. "Even if the Nine Li race hadn't been annihilated but had existed up to now, they'd eventually be wiped out as well. The arrival of the finale of the chaos is inevitable and irreversible. When it comes time for the finale of the current round of chaos, the countless creatures in this round of chaos will all be doomed."

He was right. Since the moment the chaos had come into being, this process had been repeated without exception.

"What if I can complete the Finale Way?" Zen asked calmly and confidently.

This amused the Grandmaster of Heaven greatly and sent him into a burst of laughter.

Even the members of the Violet Cloud race and other creatures on the Other Shore, burst into laughter from not far off.

"Complete the Finale Way?"

"He dares be so cocky? Even those of the Eternal Realm have all failed to complete the Finale Way."

"Young people like you are always lost in the clouds, dreaming..."

There were a considerable number of ruling civilizations within Stage Thirty-two of the Other Shore. They all had a great many talents and some of them existed as those who had obtained the luck and resources of the chaos.

They had put a great deal of effort in and had much more experience than Zen in completing the Finale Way.

And yet they had all failed without exception.

Their disdain for Zen was understandable

xcept for what happened in the Blooming Jade Stage, I arranged all the rest."

When Elizabeth had led Zen into the Blooming Jade Stage, they hadn't taken the usually used paths.

If he had broken into the lower ice field in the Blooming Jade Stage, he would have surely gone through great difficulties before he finally stepped into Stage Thirty-one of the Other Shore.

But instead, he passed by the upper ice field and released Pompeo, the bald giant. This caused the Element Spirit race to lose control of the Blooming Jade Stage.

"What was the purpose of all this?" Zen asked, horrified.

"My purpose is the same as the Grandmaster of Heaven's," She said, grinning. "I had to observe you to determine if you'd be a valuable addition to our Element Spirit race."

Claire of the Element Spirit race extended an invitation to Zen as well.

When the Other Shore creatures present heard the news, they burst into an uproar once again.

The Element Spirit race had control of almost the entire Other Shore. They hadn't even seen the actual Eternal Realm talents as something special, let alone a talent who had not even entered the Eternal Realm yet.

Then why did they try to recruit Zen so openly?

Who was this human brat? How could two major races fight for him and dispatch their core figures to recruit him? All those present were utterly confused.

Pearce, Auden and the others stood motionlessly not far away.

They hadn't expected things to pan out this way either and were now a little more nervous; they weren't too sure if Zen would refuse both races.
