With some last parting words, Cain swiftly left through taking a step through the void space.
Yan Kui took her role seriously. She got down to finding more information and developing her secret skills the moment Cain had left.
...
The trip back to his private quarter took Cain no time at all.
When teleporting to the heavenly palace, he was treated to the usual sight of Kali and Luo Na silently cultivating.
Though, Cain did notice a slightly bored look dawning on Kali's face. He wryly smiled, knowing exactly how Kali gets after intense battles.
As Cain expected, Kali promptly flung her eyes open and exuded a weary sigh.
She put her chin on her hand as she said, "Finally back? And you seem completely normal, though, I wouldn't be able to tell if ate that empress or not. Either way, I'm already starting to feel rusted sitting down for so long!"
"I am sure you can survive a couple of days." Luo Na slowly opened her eyes, her tone as mesmerizing and calm as always.
She then turned over to Cain, their gazes and a tingling sensation running through souls upon doing so. "And I can assume your meeting with her bore some fruits."
Cain nodded and sat down between the girls. He got directly to business. "For starters that Empress Kui, whose real name is, Yan Kui, she pledged her loyalty to me to be a subordinate of mine."
"Oh really?" Kali causally spoke and Luo Na didn't have much of a reaction besides blinking her eyes.
A sarcastic smile soon made its way onto Kali's face. "I can already tell you did the boring route of just accepting her proposal and grilling some information out of her. So? What did she tell you?"
"She told us what we needed this entire time." Cain's smile brilliantly gleamed. "We finally have what we need to go to God Sovereign Yao's inheritance. And while we do need to go through some extra steps to get there, we at least won't need to run about blind to find information."
"Really?" Kali and even Luo Na's eyes glisten at this point.
This was truly the information they needed above anything else. Everything about their trip to the Soul God World was banking on if they could reach God Sovereign Yao's inheritance.
If they were to take too long, the consequences that could happen to the Divine Boundless Heaven would be unthinkable.
"Indeed. It goes like this..." For the next several minutes, Cain gave a basic rundown on the pre-qualifying competition inheritance and then being able to the road to the true inheritance.
By the end of his explanations, Luo Na was deep in thought while Kali practically glowed with unending glee.
Her joyous tone could excite the dullest heart as she said, "Excellent! Once we're finished with using that roc, we'll be more than strong enough to contend with those who can challenge Heavenly Venerates. Ah, I can still remember a time when even just thinking about those Heavenly Venerates was an unthinkable matter. Soon enough, we'll be dropping them as well like flies!"
The sheer confidence filling her entire being could force anyone to believe her words were natural facts. It was only a matter of when in Kali's mind.
Luo Na had a more cautious approach to the situation. She slowly said, "We should not forget that by the time this competition starts, we will have several enemies as Supreme Emperors. Possibly even Monarch Grandmaster if this trip goes the expected way. And do not forget that the Heavenly God Sect is not like our Heaven. They can very well veer into other Heavens and possibly be in here as well. It goes without saying that we can really only trust ourselves. Possibly Yan Kui. Unless you want to enslave her, Cain?"
During her talk, Kali didn't really find anything she should be cautious about. But she did focus on the mention of Yan Kui.
A curling smile filled with mockery plastered on her beautiful face. "She has a point, brother. Since you didn't eat her up and fully take over her, then enslavement would be the next best option so that we won't get backstabbed. What do you think?"
Cain didn't promptly respond, choosing the moment to deeply think about his next words. He has no care about having a sense of morality or loyalty to those he loves or at least close to him.
But Cain also knows that to wring people out of their maximum potential, there needs to be a certain level of trust. And Yan Kui has the highest potential among all other grand geniuses he met so far.
With these thoughts swirling in his mind, Cain slowly said, "When I made an alliance with you at first Luo Na, that was testing the waters since I have yet to show off my true talent and you were only informed by your master. With Yan Kui, she fully experienced our talent on full display. And it fully convinces her to get down on one knee and plead loyalty to her. Even if she would accept a soul contract with me, I rather avoid causing any negatives in this relationship so that she'll go far and beyond for us. We are certainly powerful, but it always helps to have an extra pair of hands adding us to our goals."
"Oh. Is that right?" Kali curiously tilted her head.
Truthfully, she just never cared to consider matters of interpersonal relationships or who to bring others up. In her eyes, it's either people who want to submit or those who are far too ambitious for their own good. Anyone in the middle she cared little about.
Thus, she promptly nodded to Cain's assessment, saying, "Since you always pay more attention to these topics, then this will be interesting to see."
Luo Na did think about it slightly more. But in all honesty, she was as fresh as Kali with these topics.
Her always calm and indifferent personality created a barrier with many other cultivators. And her talent along with her unfathomable master also served as a terrifying deterrent to most cultivators across the God Galaxy.
Thus, she could only nod and say, "At the very least, Yan Kui did stick out to help us during the auction."
"Excellent. Now then, let's make some last preparations before she calls us." Cain's growing, eager smile was shared by Kali.
Even Luo Na could deny the trembles of anticipation spiraling out of her soul.
They were finally going to see the profoundness of a Demi-God with their own eyes.
...
A few days swiftly passed.
The swirling chaos of the trio's battle recording ring calmed down but never left anyone's mind.
Naturally, the trio cared little about making any other public appearances besides their duel. They adjusted themselves to their very peak for their upcoming journey.
And soon enough, the note Empress Soaring Roc gave Cain began to shine with Dao lights. It flowed out essence energy that pinged Cain's divine mind towards a certain location.
The trio did not want to bother with anything else. So, the only people who knew they were leaving were Yan Kui and Elder Suo.
And Elder Suo would be able to easily deal with the aftermath of their leave.
With everything prepared, Cain silently teleported out of the Lightning-Destruction and the main city through a special talisman given by Elder Suo.
When appearing again, Cain, Kali, and Luo Na were floating within the sky that gleamed with the brilliant lights of the Great Dao.
These luminous source lights beaming across the Ancestral Star Region were more radiant, shining far brighter than that of the most beautiful sun in space.
