Abyssal Lord of the Magi World
chapter-672

The Ninth Layer of Legacy was a unique location where only Rank 9 life forms were allowed, except for a few Beyond the Shackles existences that had proven their genius status.

Unlike the other layers where there were homes for the Dream Avatars, the Ninth Layer contained floating castles.

Typically, one would need the permission of the castle's host to enter it, but there was nothing that could stop Zatiel inside the Virtual Dream Universe.

In the Virtual Dream Universe, Zatiel Daybreak was omnipotent. With a single thought, he could shatter Legacy, the place widely accepted as cultivation heaven for the Prima Universe.

Zatiel instantly teleported inside the castle, and he saw beautiful paintings hanging on the walls along with thousands upon thousands of plants.

At the center of that magnificent garden, the Neo-Demon saw a beautiful woman with five bloodline eyes on her forehead wearing a red dress.

Legacy lacked facilities for Rank 8 and Rank 9 life forms to train, so most of the Dream Avatars present in those layers had but a wisp of their creators' consciousness. Their primary purpose was to have a channel open between the powerhouses.

The woman tendered the plants when the Neo-Demon entered, making her turn around. Although she attempted to maintain calm, there was a flash of trepidation in her eyes.

Zatiel Daybreak's name had already spread over the entire Prima Universe. Those too weak to learn the universe's secrets considered him a unique genius that created the Virtual Dream Universe.

However, those powerful enough knew the real might of the Neo-Demon Ancestor. He could guide the actions of the Immortal Alliance and Dark Tower Alliance. Even more shocking, the Extreme Rank 9 World Tree heeded his commands.

Although he usually kept a low profile, Eve knew that the man in front of her could decide the fate of a Principal World with nothing more than his words.

"Eve, the Holy Mother, humbly greets the Neo-Demon Ancestor." Eve performed a deep bow and only stood up once Zatiel waved his hand.

"I know your cultivation path focuses on Bloodline Origin, the essence behind the secrets in the genetic matrix capable of awakening unique power and the ability to pass them to your descents." Zatiel did not find a reason to waste time in pleasantries and went straight to the point.

Eve's eyes narrowed when she heard that. This conversation was her first interaction with Zatiel, and she did not understand why he brought that up.

The Neo-Demon saw the confusion in the woman's face, but he continued speaking.

"To master Bloodline Origin, you can take two paths. The first and the one you took focus on the infinite potential of the bloodline to evolve and mutate forward." Zatiel raised his right hand and snapped his fingers, making a gray book appear in front of the woman.

At first, Eve was confused, but she knew that Zatiel Daybreak called himself the Godking of Justice and disdained to play tricks. So, she took a deep breath and opened the book.

Eve's eyes widened, and an immense sense of power emerged from her. Her Dream Avatar was still at Peak Rank 6. Nevertheless, she sent almost all the power of her consciousness into it, pushing her cognitive abilities inside the Virtual Dream Universe to an extremely high level.

Eve lost her control because the information inside that book contained the principles that allowed the creation of the Bloodline Heart.

"You have reached an extremely high level in the Evolution Path, but you were self-taught. There was no one that could help you solve your mistakes or with whom you could discuss your ideas. On the other hand, I had the help of some of the greatest minds of the Prima Universe."

Zatiel's words made the woman's eyes glow with excitement. She had heard about the Neo-Demon Ancestor's legendary teaching skill, and they did not disappoint her.

However, she was mistaken as Zatiel's guidance was even more impressive than she could have ever imagined.

"With that book, your path in Bloodline Origin could allow you to reach Peak Rank 9. However, I have a second gift. I have found the abode of the Great Mother, the Archdemon that developed the Atavism Path further than anyone else in the Prima Universe."

Eve's body began to tremble as she heard that. Not only did Zatiel's words shock her to the core, but hearing the name Great Mother brought back a lot of memories.

The Evolution Path focused on the endless potential for mutation, making it improve forward without a possible end. However, it is true that in most races, the closer you are to the Bloodline Ancestor, the stronger your bloodline is.

That is where the Atavism Path focused. You unlock the unique might lost due to countless generations failing to develop their bloodline's power to its peak.

"If you can fuse both the Atavism Path and Evolution Path, your Bloodline Origin will allow you to reach Extreme Rank 9, maybe even going all the way to evolving four Cores of Existence." Zatiel waved his hand, shattering the gray book into thousands of dots that fused into Eve's Dream Avatar.

The Holy Mother felt the information engraving itself in her mind. She could take her time to decipher the knowledge and would no longer need the gray book.

"You can take the gray book as a gift. I will not charge you anything for it. However, the Great Mother is different."

Eve clenched her hand with all her strength as she attempted to control the excitement bursting through her heart. She knew there was nothing free in the universe.

Zatiel had already helped the Primarchs find a way beyond their current limits. He did not ask for anything in return at that moment, but Eve knew that the six Primarchs were doing everything in their power to prepare for the day the Neo-Demon would call them.

The Holy Mother took a deep breath as she attempted to figure out what Zatiel could request in exchange for the Great Mother's information, but nothing came to her mind. What could she give to the most influential life form in the Prima Universe?
