Chapter 34: The Setup

Su Xiao walked out of the secret chamber, having fully grasped the current situation. Logically, after the "Causal Lock Ring" of this world shattered, the subsequent transcendence should have been completed, yet it hadn't.

There was only one answer: the newly formed World Core of this world had been bound and suppressed, forcing its transcendence process to halt.

A Transcendent World was incredibly powerful, but during the process of achieving transcendence, it became fragile and easily suppressed—to the point where it could even be possessed.

The three Transcendent Worlds of the Second Era—Doom Star, Wind Sea, and the Witch Realm—all had their World Cores in a free state. If a World Core remained ownerless during the transcendence process, then after transcendence was complete, it could not be claimed by anyone.

In contrast, during the First Era—Ancient Dragon, Sun, and Lord—the World Cores of those Transcendent Worlds belonged to the overlords of those realms. The subsequent chain of events clearly demonstrated the immense risk of a World Core being held by native forces.

Su Xiao had previously destroyed the "Causal Lock Ring," causing this world's World Consciousness and World Core to shatter together. This wasn't a wound to the world; rather, it was a complete release from its shackles. Given this world's condition, if Wind Sea Continent was an aging, elderly Transcendent World, then this world was a vigorous young man, brimming with such fiery energy that it immediately began to re-condense its World Core.

Calculating the time, the World Core should have long since reformed. Within this world, there were actually only three people left who had the ability to suppress and temporarily possess this World Core.
