The Sky Sovereign showed no outward reaction to Cain's threat. His voice was calm as he replied, "I understand my situation. In truth, I can do no more than cloak the signal. You should use this brief period to find a safe haven."
Cain's eyes remained fixed on the phantom. After several seconds, he let out a quiet sigh. It appeared that the Sky Sovereign was telling the truth—if he was indeed too weak to do more than provide a temporary cover, then Cain was in serious trouble. Taking a deep breath, Cain calmed his mind, scouring his thoughts for a way out of this crisis.
His first idea was to return to Aether, the Tertiary World, where he reigned as a World King. He knew that the Crystal Wall of that world was sturdy enough to repel the full might of a Prima Deity. No matter how many Divine Transcendence Masters were sent after him, he could handle them, since he could tap into Aether's world-origin power to boost his raw strength to a level comparable to the Third Realm.
