As Cain’s soul was full of joy at his newfound power, allowing his life force to evolve even higher and gaining over one thousand years of longevity, a person within the Sacred Home of another of the Ten Great Bloodlines was practically spouting blood and cursing his name.
"Damn human insect!"
An old man with a decrepit appearance shouted as rage and anger overwhelmed his heart. His eyes were sunken, and a powerful death aura soaked his body, making it clear just how weak his life force was.
Despite his weakened state, the old man still possessed tremendous power and energy in his body since he was a Peak Apotheosis Master, and the Kraken Bloodline ran through his veins.
This man’s name was Norkuo, Natuo’s father and High Elder of the Kraken Clan. The old man could not suppress the rage as he remembered receiving the news that his bastard son, who was supposed to return home, had been slain by a human.
When he found out, Norkuo’s first impulse was to find the human and break every bone in his body before crushing his brain, but he immediately discarded that idea. If that person could kill Natuo, who was stronger than him, what could an old man with a foot in the grave do?
Of course, not being able to fight Cain directly didn’t mean Norkuo would give up, and using the influence he amassed over thousands of years, he obtained the help of a Divine Ascension Master.
Norkuo expected that Marcellus’ power would be enough to seal Cain’s fate. Yet, not only did the human survive, but the old Deus Behemoth heard there would be a ceremony in the Godslayer Human’s honor as this one would become the Foster Son of the Patriarch of the Solis Clan and gain the title of Sun Avatar.
"Lord Norkuo, you should not get so angry. At your age, distress and anger will only put you one step closer to the grave."
Norkuo’s eyes narrowed as he heard those words that seemed to carry concern yet hid malicious mockery. The fact that someone managed to intrude into his cultivation room located at the core of the Kraken Clan Sacred Home was shocking, but the old man knew that very few things could stop this person.
The one who appeared in the room was a man with white hair, crystal blue eyes, pointy ears, horns on his head, draconic blue scales on his limbs, and a long blue tail.
"Soul King."
If Cain were to hear the words coming from Norkuo’s mouth, he would be beyond shocked at the realization that one of the Dark Kings controlling The Organization was on this side of the Endless Ocean.
The Soul King noticed the dread and caution in Norkuo’s eyes, but a smile appeared on his face as he saw that the most predominant emotion in the old man’s soul was greed.
"Lord Norkuo, your son was supposed to be here for the soul transfer, yet I detect no direct relative of you with an Apotheosis Realm cultivation in this place."
Norkuo narrowed his eyes as he heard the words from the Soul King. He was sure that for someone of this man’s power, finding out about Natuo’s death would not be complicated.
For a moment, Norkuo thought the Soul King was mocking him, but there was a chance the man might genuinely not know.
In the end, Norkuo needed to stay on the good side of the Soul King, so he took a deep breath, controlling his rage before speaking.
"My son was killed almost two months ago by a Godslayer Human. From what I have heard of that brat, The Organization wants him dead, yet he refuses to die, like a cockroach."
The mocking and self-complacent smile of the Soul King faded as he heard those words, and a sharp light appeared in his eyes as he focused on the computer ring for nearly a minute before a flash of killing intent appeared in his eyes.
"Cain Laurifer. So he survived!"
Pure coldness flooded the Soul King’s eyes as he uttered those words, and he then turned in the direction of the Solis Clan Sacred Home.
"Will you go and kill him?"
Norkuo saw the killing intent in the Soul King’s eyes, and a malicious smile appeared as he pictured the Dark King going to the Solis Clan Sacred Home to kill Cain and, in the process, butcher many more.
"Hmph!"
The Soul King only sneered at Norkuo’s words and did not offer any explanation to the man before a meaningful light appeared in his eyes.
"You have lost your son with a cultivation at the Apotheosis Realm, and you have no vessel capable of enduring the pressure of your soul, so a soul transfer is no longer possible. Secure a spot for yourself for the next Astral Bloodline Realm, and I will help you obtain another 1000 years of lifespan. Fail, and you will no longer be useful to us."
Not bothering to utter another word, the Soul King turned around and vanished from the room, leaving Norkuo alone.
Shock appeared in the old man’s eyes as he heard that nearly impossible request. However, a new wave of rage helped him regain focus.
"Dammit!!!!"

Norkuo shouted, releasing all the pent-up frustration in his heart before focusing on his computer ring and beginning to communicate with everyone in the Kraken Clan who owed him a favor.
The Soul King appeared hundreds of kilometers away from the Kraken Clan Sacred Home and soon descended into a giant swamp. His presence grew more and more weak until suddenly, his figure began to change, becoming nothing more than a small pebble that sank to the bottom of the dirty waters.
---
Billions of kilometers away from that dirty swamp, at a distance so far that even moving at the speed of light would take nearly half an hour, there was a figure inside a dark tower.
He was a man with white hair, crystal blue eyes, pointy ears, horns on his head, draconic blue scales on his limbs, and a long blue tail. Of course, this person was none other than the Soul King.
However, unlike the one that became a small rock and was now inside a dirty swamp, his aura was hundreds of times more potent, and his eyes glowed with a powerful soul force that could break the minds of weaker life forms.
"BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!"
