The Epic Tale of Chaos vs Order Chapter 2353 Ego Above Reality
Previously on The Epic Tale of Chaos vs Order...
Cain's mind and soul were pushed beyond their limits as his ego and personality fragmented across the newly formed dimension. Unable to withstand the immense strain, his consciousness shattered, and he was swallowed by a void of darkness.
This state of oblivion was merely temporary, however. As the dimension neared its final state of completion, its vast energy began to pull back inward. The brilliant radiance that had previously blanketed the floating city and the heavens above retracted, folding into itself as every element became inextricably bound within the newly birthed dimension.
When every spark of power had been pulled into a singular point, the towers, the ground, the sky, and the weapons that comprised the dimension began to discharge their stored energy. This massive influx of power surged toward the
center.
A scarlet cocoon slowly manifested from this convergence. The essence contained within was no longer limited to Leviathan’s power; it now pulsed with the fundamental Power of Chaos, the authority of the Scarlet Throne, and the very energy of the universe.
The cocoon's strength intensified with every passing second. It did not expand in size; rather, like the core of the dimension itself, it prioritized depth and purity over scale. Upon reaching the peak of its power, cracks webbed across the scarlet surface. Then, with a violent eruption of energy, the shell shattered.
A flood of scarlet light washed over the dimension, imbuing it with a sense of overwhelming majesty. Myriad runes manifested across the earth, the sky, and the embedded armaments, each one vibrating with ancient meaning and supreme authority.
In that instant, clarity returned to Cain's eyes. Though briefly overwhelmed by the sheer sensation of power, his focus quickly sharpened.
Cain directed his gaze toward the entity at the heart of the dimension. The sight caused his soul to shiver. A colossal, flaming scarlet serpent
drifted in the air, its jaws locked onto its own tail. It formed a perfect emblem of infinity and the cyclical nature of the Dao—a symbol where every end is but a precursor to a new beginning.
The Scarlet King sensed a more profound truth within that image. Beyond the concept of eternity, it radiated the essence of rebirth, self-renewal, and perpetual transformation. A rhythm of unending evolution echoed through his heart.
But that was merely the start.
Within the circle of the serpent stood a being of even greater splendor. It was a draconic, humanoid warrior encased in sharp, scarlet-and-gold plate. The form was a seamless blend of organic life and metallic armor, resembling a living weapon of war. Great scarlet wings fanned out from its back, glowing with the fierce heat of burning embers.
Leviathan had shed its world-sized proportions, yet its current power was far superior—more refined, denser, and in perfect harmony with Cain’s soul and his chosen Cultivation path.
A wide grin spread across Cain’s face as he withdrew his consciousness from the dimension, the weight of his achievement finally sinking in.
Success was his.
He had successfully ascended to the next stage of the Ego Eternal Path of Power.
As he reached out a hand, Cain’s eyes flashed with light. Using nothing but his sheer willpower, he seized the very laws of reality. Inside the chamber, space-time groaned and buckled under the weight of his newly awakened authority.
"This is the power of Ego Above Reality."
Cain's smile grew even broader as he spoke the name of the realm that surpassed Mind and Soul as One, a title he had retrieved from the legacy of Legion’s memories.
The Scarlet King’s ego, soul, and willpower had fused into one singular, unified force. This monumental evolution granted him the ability to rewrite the fundamental rules of the world through his thoughts alone.
Cain had already decided on a name for his new dimension.
Lucid Dream.
It was a realm born of his mind that possessed the weight of reality—a domain where his word was law.
The creation of the Lucid Dream and the advancement of his Ego Eternal Path to Ego Above Reality sparked a massive breakthrough in his Cultivation. And the rewards continued to manifest.
The explosive expansion of his will and soul deepened his resonance with the world, paving the way for progress on a different path. The Stars of Origin upon his brow blazed with increasing intensity until a new star began to take shape.
The Scarlet King felt a surge of incredible vitality as a vast sea of World Strength flooded his being.
After a long period of stagnation, he had finally ignited the Fourth Star of Origin, attaining the ArchDeity Rank in his Primordial Path. While this advancement was not as transformative as his Ego Eternal evolution, it still brought a satisfied smile to his face. Strengthening his body’s Cultivation offered myriad advantages. Crucially, it loosened the bottlenecks that had hindered his body-refinement techniques—progress that would be vital for the trials ahead.
"System, scan me!"
Driven by a surge of excitement, the Scarlet King commanded the Absolute Life Form System to evaluate his current state. The cold, mechanical voice of the system immediately resonated in his mind as a translucent screen appeared before him.
