Abyssal Lord of the Magi World
chapter-642

After obtaining Ezequiel's confirmation, Hyperion began to discuss the Sacred Trial with the other two bloodline Primarchs. Although the Titan Primarch would have preferred not to include them, he did not have a choice.

The Titan World's Sacred Trial was inside the world's origin, and it opened every one hundred thousand years. The last time it happened was roughly seven thousand years ago. Since they could not just wait for the trial to reopen on its own, they would have to do it manually, which would require a massive amount of resources.

Not even Hyperion could gather that much wealth on its own without harming his foundation, so he had to work with the Dragon Primarch and Sacred Beast Primarch. Of course, the Titan Primarch intended to milk as much wealth as possible from the duo.

Salomon and Issac did not care too much about that Sacred Trial. Even if they were to get access to a Path of Power focused on the body, it would not mean they had talent in it. Not to mention they already had a way to enhance their bodies.

In the end, Hyperion set the Sacred Trial to start one hundred years from now. A tiny amount of time for entities that had lived for eons.

Zatiel saw how the Primarchs and Ezequiel left the Neo-Demon Realm. The first was going to handle the matter regarding the Dreamgate Project, and the second intended to enhance his power.

After making sure that the Primarch exited the Neo-Demon Realm, Zatiel let his focus relax and allowed the rest of the Neo-Demon to leave the High Worlds.

Zatiel needed to handle many things, but the first was to anchor the Virtual Dream Universe into the Neo-Demon Realm. Using the power of karma, he found the connection between him and the unique dimension that originated once the power of his mind fused into the Prima Universe.

It was not easy and took him several months, but Zatiel managed to transfer the nucleus of the Virtual Dream Universe into the White Sun.

Zatiel was tired, but there was a smile on his face after he finished. He was sure that very soon, life forms from all over the universe would come to the Virtual Dream Universe and try their luck in Legacy.

The one that will manage the Virtual Dream Universe and take the position of Universe Dream will be the NRAI. Hades spent most of his time tempering his soul force, so he would not interfere unless things required his assistance.

"Hades, teleport me to these coordinates," Zatiel said before sending a stream of numbers into the NRAI.

"Lord, would you like me to accompany you?" Hades was unsure how strong Zatiel was, but he still offered to guard him. His Realm Avatar had grown to the Peak Beyond Falsehood Stage, and it won't be long before it entered the Beyond Limit Stage.

"There is no need. I will go to meet an old friend and will be busy for several decades, maybe even more. Focus on your training. Once I return, we will leave for Abyss."

"Alright," Hades said nothing more before enveloping the Neo-Demon in a Rank 9 Teleportation and sending him away.

Zatiel felt his body traveling at incredible speeds through layers of space before finally reaching his destination.

What appeared in front of the Neo-Demon was an asteroid field. It was the same he crossed to enter the World Tree's Abode.

This time, there were no words, but the asteroid field adjusted to Zatiel's presence, transforming into a death zone for anyone incapable of displaying a battle power at Limit Rank 7.

A confident smile appeared on Zatiel's face as he activated Sacred King Aphotic Dominion. He flew in a straight line and did not even bother to dodge the asteroids. Why would he, since they were unable to reach his body?

The Neo-Demon crossed the portal and found himself in a beautiful field with nothing but shining azure grass in sight. Ancestral Root also emerged, and after a moment, the Artifact Spirit showed a smile and performed a slight bow.

"Ancestral Root humbly greets the Lord of Beginning and End." Usually, even being the N° 1 Prima Universe's Champion would not be enough for Ancestral Root to show this type of respect. Still, he knew there was a deep connection between Zatiel and the World Tree.

"There is no need to call me by that title anymore, as I have transcended it. In the meantime, just call me by my name." Zatiel clasped his hand and nodded toward Ancestral Root.

"I see. Your aura is much more profound and powerful than before. Are you here to retake the trial?"

Zatiel immediately shook his head. His potential and destiny reached a level where not even the mighty World Tree was capable of testing it anymore.

"I came here to speak with the World Tree. I need you to awaken him."

Anyone else that asked something like that would immediately be kicked out of the abode by Ancestral Root, but he understood that Zatiel was special.

"It will take me some time. Wait a moment."

Zatiel understood that the World Tree would remain in hibernation most of the time, so he nodded at Ancestral Root and sat down.

Ancestral Root returned thirty minutes later and nodded toward the Neo-Demon before teleporting him.

Zatiel found himself in an endless void the next second, where only he and the World Tree were present.

"Welcome back, old friend. You found a way to become even stronger, good, very good. Tell me, how is my son doing? Is he growing strong like his father?"

Zatiel could not help but sigh as he heard the World Tree's weak voice and saw how the first question in this majestic being was the state of his son.

Unlike the Champion of Justice and Order that became a beacon of light for all the Prima Universe during the Cataclysmic War, the World Tree acted in the shadows, away from everybody's awareness. However, his lack of presence did not mean he was not instrumental in the victory against the Eldritch Race.

When the great warriors of the Prima Universe were forming the Final Gate, it was the World Tree, the one that kept the Eldritch Universe from interfering. He alone faced the combined might of the Great Old Ones inside the Eldritch Universe!

There was only one fitting name for such a man.

Hero.
