Chapter 782 The beginning of the end (III)
What parent would not like to see their offspring obtain divine talent at the level of the mighties race in the Alpha Universe? Besides, it was clear by now that the Primordial Race would rule the universe. Not only was their infertility fixed, but for some reason, the Flame Imperator favored them and sought to raise them into an exalted state.
The idea of a universe full of life forms with a First Order Law Bloodline was amazing, but there were two problems with that path. Second-generation Primordials had an extremely feeble bloodline purity, and their birthrate was shockingly low.
It reached the point that despite having the Primordial Bloodline running through their veins, those children barely managed to achieve Peak Rank 3. As for breaking the shell that was the Physical Realm and evolving into the Soul Realm, that was almost impossible.
Although all that should have terrified the Alpha Universe\'s life forms, none of them entered in panic. They were sure that the mighty Flame Imperator would not have made a mistake like transforming the newborns\' bloodline, only for them to die after a few thousand years due to their inability to cross into the Soul Realm.
The Flame Imperator proved they were right in putting their trust in him. Ninety years after the universe-wide spell that made all newborns Primordials, he acted again, changing the laws of the Alpha Universe for the second time.
This time, he changed the Alpha Universe\'s Main Path of Power. Like the Prima Universe, the Alpha Universe had the True Soul Path of Power, but the Flame Imperator wrestled away its destiny and created the Lineage Path of Power.
As one would expect, the Flame Imperator tailored the Lineage Path of Power for the Primordial Bloodline. It could be trained from Rank 0 and sought to stimulate your bloodline, fixing its flaws like low purity.
Upon reaching the peak of the Physical Realm, instead of using the laws to purify your soul and create a True Soul, the Lineage Path of Power triggered your Bloodline Awakening. That not only granted a massive upgrade to your bloodline force but would also reform the body and gift formidable strength, incredible speed, or other innate talents.
Creating the Lineage Path of Power allowed the new generation to improve their cultivation. It was not easy, but those willing to risk their lives in search of lucky chances, and push themselves beyond their limits, could reach the universe\'s peak.
Of course, as happened the last time the Flame Imperator altered the laws, one side gained something, and another lost it. Everyone from the old generation that lacked the Primordial Bloodline and had trained the True Soul Path of Power saw their cultivation crippled.
To those, the Flame Imperator offered a path forward. They could give away their past life for the chance to rebirth in their clans and family in the future. Some took it, while others chose to fade away.
Restructuring the entire Alpha Universe consumed a tremendous amount of power from the Flame Imperator, and he informed the powerhouses of that era that he would enter secluded cultivation for a long time. Before he left, he gave one directive.
"Grow strong."
Those two words made the entire Alpha Universe enter a state of frenzy. Geniuses rose and fell as they all strived to reach the universe\'s peak.
Millions of years later, as the Alpha Universe reached a glory age with countless powerhouses, the Flame Imperator finally returned. He was still weak, but there was an important task he could no longer delay.
The Flame Imperator sought to become the Alpha Universe\'s Spiritual Leader. That was an incredibly lofty goal, but the Flame Imperator had already become a legendary existence for whom the Primordial Race felt nothing but gratitude.
Unfortunately, the Flame Imperator faced opposition from the most extraordinary genius born in the Alpha Universe, a second-generation Primordial known as the Heavenly Empress.
She was not only a powerful Fourth Evolution Extreme Rank 9 Primordial but also a master of prophecy. Her divination had nothing to do with faith, as her power came from destiny itself.
Thanks to her divine power and leadership ability, during the absence of the Flame Imperator, she formed the strongest force in the Alpha Universe.
Becoming the entire universe\'s Spiritual Leader required more than just being recognized as the strongest. The Flame Imperator needed the Primordial Race to open their soul to him, allowing the essences to bathe his existence.
That required all life forms of the Alpha Universe to recognize him as their absolute leader and devote their souls to him. If the Heavenly Empress refused, then the Flame Imperator could not allow her existence or that of her people in the universe.
In an attempt to avoid conflict, the Flame Imperator visited the Heavenly Empress in her domains, hoping to change her mind.
However, to the surprise of all, the always honorable Heavenly Empress waited for the weakened Flame Imperator to enter deep into her domains before triggering a formation that wounded him severely.
The Flame Imperator managed to escape alive, but the actions of the Heavenly Empress triggered the rage of countless Primordials, especially those born thanks to the changes in the laws.
All the Primordials loyal to Flame Imperator rallied behind him and fought against the Heavenly Empress\' forces, triggering the Alpha Dominance War.
It was a bloody and cruel war, with countless powerhouses perishing. The Alpha Dominance War reached its climax when the Flame Imperator killed the Heavenly Empress, erasing her faction from the Alpha Universe.
The price of that war was high, but after it, the entire Alpha Universe recognized the Flame Imperator\'s grace, transforming him into the universe\'s Spiritual Leader.
Under the Flame Imperator\'s guide, the Alpha Universe prospered again, reaching a new age of glory.
"CRACK!" The sound of a shackle breaking echoed as a man rose from the Alpha Universe\'s nucleus.
Chrollo and all the other Primordials lowered their heads as a radiance that blind even them emerged from that man. None of them could tell just how strong he became, but one thing was sure in their hearts, the Flame Imperator was no longer a Law Realm existence!
"Raise." The Flame Imperator\'s voice was soft yet carried a force that not even the Empyrean Primordials could challenge.
All types of incredible phenomena emerged around the Flame Imperator as his existence was superior to that of the Alpha Universe. However, the most surprising part for the Primordial Legion was seeing their Spiritual Leader without his flame armor.
The surprise of the Primordial Legion was small compared with the utter shock that assaulted the Nine Empyreans Primordials.
Scholars say that your physical appearance is a reflection of your soul. That is why many powerhouses that perform rebirth look so similar to their past selves. Of course, things would change if they were born into a different race like Demons or Dragons.
What astounded the Empyreans Primordials was that the Flame Imperator looked shockingly similar to the man they widely considered to be the Prima Universe\'s Leader.
The Flame Imperator resembled no other than Zatiel Daybreak!
