Abyssal Lord of the Magi World

All of Zatiel's words had a profound meaning, helping many of those who heard them solve the doubts that had plagued their minds for thousands of years.

The Thearchs, Sacred Kings, Nightmare Kings, and all the other powerhouses that were able to withstand the intent of the Samsara Thearch's soul felt that the Fourth Realm became clearer for them. The way to reach it and advance became much simpler in their minds.

Trying to force their way through the Fourth Realm relying on only one path, either the Law Path or Concept Path, was a mistake since it missed the entire goal of the realm itself. Your Primordial Essence had to rise above the limitations of the Law Matrix and objective reality, while your mind and imagination needed to overcome the collective belief system formed by the trillions of life forms that populated the entire universe.

Once your soul and mind rise above that limitation, you must fuse the power of your Truth with the essence of your Eternal Flame, allowing your thoughts to become a reality. That is the key behind Omnipotence.

When the Samsara Thearch sought to revive his wife, he imagined a portal that could ignore the continuity of space-time and used an incredible amount of energy to make it a reality.

The Thearchs, Sacred Kings, and the rest of the powerhouses stood in silence as they allowed the new knowledge to clear their minds and show them the way forward. Many of them went through several stages of enlightenment as their cultivation moved forward into the Fourth Realm.

The Emptiness Thearch and Revenge Thearch benefited greatly from the teaching of the Samsara Thearch, but they also came to a deadlock. They had already risen to the Fourth Realm, and now they understood that they needed to evolve in the other path to move forward.

However, while it is true they had focused on consolidating their cultivation on their respective path, with Ezequiel pushing the Law Path to the limit and Venganza doing the same with the Concept Path, it is not like they had neglected the other.

The Revenge Thearch had great dominion over the Concept of Freedom, while the Revenge Thearch developed the mighty Sinful Samsara Omega Law. However, nothing worked, no matter how much effort they put in or the treasures they used to supplement their cultivation.

Zatiel saw the doubts in the hearts of the Emptiness Thearch and Revenge Thearch, and after everybody had time to analyze his words, he carried on.

"You might find it hard to advance to the Fourth Realm in the Concept Path after reaching it in the Law Path because your Primordial Essence had risen to stand above objective reality, and your mind and imagination adapted to that state, closing down the gate for independent growth.

Something similar happens when you rise to the Fourth Realm in the Concept Path and try to push your Law Path beyond Rank 9. In this case, your Primordial Essence changes to become more susceptible to the power of your mind and imagination.

I was able to overcome that obstacle for a multitude of reasons. First, It was my Universe Will Incarnation, which rose to the Fourth Realm in the Concept Path, not me. Of course, the power of the Eternal Flame of Justice soon spread into my soul, making it my power. Yet, before the changes could reach my core and affect my Primordial Essence, I managed to awaken my Samsara Truth, rising in the Law Path with my true self.

I came to believe that my True Name gave me the unique ability of Three Samsara Incarnations to give me a path beyond the Initial Stage of the Fourth Realm."

The Sacred Kings felt a sense of pure awe when they heard that. Each of them had a True Name that embodied their ego, but the power in them matched that of their bloodlines. None of them had something that would devise a path through the Fourth Realm.

The Revenge Thearch and Emptiness Thearch adopted solemn expressions when they heard Zatiel's words. The power of the Eternal Flames and Truth had already spread through every particle of their existences, tempering them to a point it could not be reversed.

If the Samsara Thearch's analysis were correct, then they would be stuck at the Initial Stage of the Fourth Realm forever. Learning they could never advance beyond their current limit was something that could shake the willpower of even paragons like the duo.

Venganza and Ezequiel stared at the Samsara Thearch, hoping this one would have a way to fix their problems using his Omnipotence, but things were not so simple.

Zatiel could see the desire in the duo and softly shook his head.

"The energy that Omnipotence would need to revert the changes done by your respective Truth and Eternal Flame would be three times higher than the one needed to bring someone back to life."

The Thearchs could not help but sight when they heard that. Still, they nodded toward the Samsara Thearch since it was clear this one had sought a solution for them.

"Although I can not reverse your mind or Primordial Essence to a state in which they can give birth to a Fourth Realm's Truth or Eternal Flame, there is a path for you two."

Ezequiel and Venganza stared at Zatiel with large smiles on their faces. It was hard to find something that could force the duo to show their true emotions, but the future of their cultivation was that important.

The Thearchs were not the only ones interested since the Sacred Kings and all the other powerhouses were also intrigued. Trying to rise in both paths simultaneously was nearly impossible.

Orgullo sought to achieve that, but he was by far the most talented of the Sacred Kings. He was once the King in Yellow, and his reincarnation as a Depravita only strengthened him. Still, the chances he could achieve that goal were small.

"I can send you in the Samsara Cycle, sealing away all your memories, ego, and most of your soul, and this would only emerge after your rise into the Fourth Realm.

Once you rise into a path, the other would be unlocked, allowing you to rise immediately to the peak of the Initial Stage. You would only need to find the balance between the two and fuse them to rise into the Middle Stage."

Smiles appeared in the Thearchs and Sacred Kings when they heard that. It was a path that would require nothing but time, and no matter how long it took, it would be worth it.

Zatiel could see their thoughts, and they believed everything would be fine since there were no dangers in the Daybreak Universe unless they chose to travel into the Nightmare Inferno Realm. However, they were wrong.

"It involves reincarnation but can not be done in the Daybreak Universe. Your souls and minds will not be able to experience the type of reincarnation needed so that the powers of your Eternal Flame and Truths no longer hinder your paths into the Fourth Realm here.

It must be done in a new universe without contact with our laws and forces. That means it would be over if you were to die in that place. You will cease to exist, and I will have to revert time and destroy the entire universe if I were to bring you back to life."

The smiles in the Thearchs and Sacred Kings vanished once they heard that.

The dangers were immense. No matter how powerful they were right now, it would not be hard for them to perish if they started again in a foreign universe without any of their memories and a completely new personality.

Of course, Zatiel had the power to bring them back, but that meant sacrificing an entire universe. Although the desire for growth was immense in the hearts of all the powerhouses, not even the Nightmare Kings could take that decision lightly.

"There is a second path, but while it is safer at the beginning, it can carry severe problems in the future.

I can take a piece of your soul and send it into the Samsara Cycle of a new universe, generating an incarnation of you.

That incarnation would rise on his own, and once he reached the Fourth Realm, you could fuse back into a single entity."

Ezequiel and Venganza looked at each other as they heard that. Both of them were able to see the problem with the second path right away.

What if the incarnation does not want to become one with them, or worse yet, what if he wanted to devour them and override their willpower?

In the first path, they risked death, while in the second, there was the possibility of giving birth to an enemy that would stop at nothing in order to kill them. Either way, it was not an easy decision.

Zatiel allowed Venganza and Ezequiel to think deeply about the implication of using either path and once he saw the focus of the duo return, he carried on.

"The Late Stage of the Fourth Realm is something that defies reason."
