Free Web NovelChapter 1731: Chapter 945: Cain’s Promise (2)
"And so is Demogorgon."
"Even so, we can still influence each other’s intended actions."
"Whether it needs to be done depends on whether we’re willing to pay a certain price."
Cain lightly knocked on the table, looking at Lis and said:
"Of course I can do what you suggest, but it depends on whether the price is worth it."
"I’ve promised you before, I can help you, but there are only two opportunities left."
"Do you understand?"
"Yes, thank you for your generosity."
Listening to Cain’s words, Lis nodded in gratitude.
He understood Cain’s meaning.
Previously, when Cain helped him build the Abyss Demon Avatar, he mentioned he could help him two more times.
So, this time was likely referring to that promise.
But Lis didn’t expect Cain was willing to pay such a price for him.
Directly opposing Demogorgon must require a considerable cost for Cain as well.
Yet Cain casually agreed.
Even if Lis and Cain don’t have much connection, even if Lis were Cain’s Divine Son, typically this kind of treatment wouldn’t be offered.
Facing such an opportunity, Lis had to treat it carefully.
Although Cain promised him some help, that’s not a reason for Lis to make excessive demands.
Thinking about it, Lis gave up on the idea of having Cain help him uncover Demogorgon’s secrets.
Understanding it would do what, does Lis expect Cain to help him oppose Demogorgon and retrieve the legacy of those twelve divines?
That would be quite inconsiderate of Lis.
In that case, better to use the opportunity for more important matters.
Spending Cain’s favor on such things felt like a waste to Lis.
After all, the divine positions and divine status left by those twelve divines were only of limited help to Lis.
Lis had a sense that Cain’s help should be used for more crucial things.
After contemplating for a while, Lis recalled other matters and asked Cain:
"Lord Cain, wielding such strength in the Endless Abyss, how did you manage it."
"Did the Endless Abyss Will fail to recognize your identity?"
This was one of Lis’s curiosities.
After all, Cain’s strength within the Endless Abyss seemed on par with Demogorgon.
So, how did he manage to hide from the Endless Abyss Will?
Reaching such power within the Abyss surely couldn’t escape the influence of the Endless Abyss Will.
But Cain, despite his low profile, managed to hide so well from the Endless Abyss Will without being discovered?
If Cain could achieve it, perhaps he could do the same?
This seemed to have certain reference significance for the future development of the Vampire Avatar.
With these thoughts, Lis found himself quite interested.
"My situation is somewhat special."
Cain shook his head and said to Lis:
"For you, it holds no reference value."
"After all, when the Endless Abyss Will granted me strength, it was somewhat reluctant."
What?
Lis looked at Cain in surprise.
It means Cain’s true identity wasn’t hidden, the Endless Abyss Will was aware of it.
Yet even under such circumstances, the Endless Abyss Will was willing to grant Cain strength.
How was that achieved?
Wasn’t the Endless Abyss Will merely a mix of fragmented, death-world consciousness, full of madness and destruction?
Would such an existence willingly do such a thing?
It seemed as if Cain captured the weakness of the Endless Abyss Will.
Cain smiled as he saw the inquisitive look in Lis’s eyes and said:
"It’s better if you don’t ask much about my affairs."
"Even if you achieve divinity, it’s best not to touch these issues for a while."
Is it that dangerous?
Lis nodded with understanding.
He took Cain’s warning seriously.
"Your current situation doesn’t require much worry."
Cain said with a smile.
"At least until you attempt to break into divinity, the Endless Abyss Will won’t directly focus on you."
"I understand."
Lis nodded slightly and said.
"Alright, I’ll take my leave now."
Cain looked at Lis and then said:
"If you need my help, just call my name."
"I understand, thanks once again for your help."
Lis said respectfully.
Cain nodded slightly and, with a flash of blood-colored light, his figure disappeared from sight.
Lis looked at the spot where Cain vanished and sighed lightly.
Under the current circumstances, he had to temporarily abandon the plan to venture to the twelfth layer.
If Demogorgon could leave the twelfth layer, Lis still had a chance.
However, for an existence like Demogorgon, staying in one place for hundreds of years was quite normal.
Lis couldn’t afford to wait.
As things stood, it was better to think about obtaining other divine positions!

In Jonas City,
At the moment, Tarinda lazily leaned on her woven wisteria chair in her own Magic Garden.
Sunlight seeped through the lush branches, falling on her like golden threads, casting a gentle glow over her.
A delicate bone china tea set was placed on the stone table in front of her, the spout of the teapot was emitting smoke, releasing the rich and charming aroma of the red tea.
She picked up the teacup, took a light sip, and the warm tea slid down her throat, bringing a sense of comfort.
Next to her was a plate of exquisitely shaped, sweet-smelling pastries.
Occasionally, she picked up a piece and savored it, enjoying this rare moment of leisure.
A breeze passed through the garden, lightly shaking the petals, as if a group of little elves were laughing and playing hide and seek among the sunlit trees.
Previously, Tarinda had been immersed in reconstructing the Pan-Continent Mage Association.
This was quite a troublesome task, even with Tarinda’s prestige and strength, it took a great deal of energy and time.
Although there were some minor setbacks, the outcome was fairly decent.
Now this work was finally winding down.
However, another matter lingered like a dark cloud, constantly troubling Tarinda’s mind.
That was tracking Stephens’s whereabouts.
Tarinda knew how significant the second councilman, who was also her friend Stephens, was, so she relentlessly pursued finding him.
Following the clues left by Stephens, she had explored many possible areas in the Star Realm.
But unfortunately, as of now, there had been no leads or updates.
Stephens had vanished completely, leaving no trace.
The remaining places yet to be explored were extremely dangerous.
Even for her, a slight mistake could lead to irreparable harm.
It was quite a headache.
At this moment, an extremely subtle magical wave suddenly appeared before her.
This magical wave was very hidden; it would be hard to detect without Tarinda’s keen perception of magic.
Her expression changed, focusing immediately to sense the information within the magical wave.
As she delved deeper into the perception, her face grew more grave, her brow furrowing tightly.
Tarinda’s eyes revealed a trace of worry and anger.
This unexpected message surely brought her a significant dilemma!
She knew Stephens was brave, but she never thought he would run around so recklessly.
Ending up trapped in that place?
As someone extremely proficient in Space Magic, the strength of the Legendary Arcanist Stephens was undisputed.
His ability to roam within the Star Realm was at least as good as Tarinda’s.
Most divines couldn’t confine Stephens.
Thus, Tarinda had struggled to imagine where Stephens could be trapped.
Upon receiving Stephens’s magical message, Tarinda finally understood why finding him had been fruitless.
My goodness!
He ventured within the Endless Abyss!
And was trapped by the Demon Prince Demogorgon.
That’s quite a hassle!
