Chapter 1264: Too Difficult.

So a single Celestial Artifact that could help multiple disciples become divine beings was the most efficient method. But he didn’t want to spend time and resources creating a Celestial Artifact, especially since no Rank 5 disciples existed to use it.

’If the solution were a Metac I could use, then it would be great. I could just fuse it with the Root of Power Metac,’ he thought, shaking his head.

’Unfortunately, as far as I know, a Metac can’t solve this problem. A Core Metac creates a Life Ability and uses that to become a Divine Metac. Then Divine Metacs are used together with Divine Positions to create the Supreme Metac. Nowhere in that lineup does a Metac replace a Divine Position.’

When he remembered how he climbed to his current cultivation step by step, he couldn’t help but be discouraged as he thought, ’A Core Metac can’t replace the Divine Position. It can only reach Rank 6. As for a Divine Metac, it needs a Divine Position to work. This is the same for World Kings.’

’World Kings need their authorities, which are Divine Metacs. So there is no way a Core Metac or a Divine Metac can replace a Divine Position. Even if I somehow succeed, my disciples won’t be able to become Dao Lords because they need Divine Positions for that.’

Frowning, he thought, ’I knew that it would be difficult, but I was wrong. The difficulty is as great as creating a new power system. It is not something a Dao Lord who relies on the old power system can do.’

’I am missing something big before I can replace Divine Positions. Maybe I need to learn how the ancient cultivators became divine beings and Dao Lords without Metacs.’

’Their cultivation system might actually inspire me,’ he thought, nodding in expectation.

After deciding on his next plan of action, he decided to put the Devouring Supreme Metac in order. First, he returned the Tracking Metac, Seal Metac, and Siphon Metac he took out earlier. Then he removed the Devouring Metacs he no longer needed.

While he was doing that, he also created more space by fusing the Root of Power with the Devouring Body Metac. The fusion produced the Devouring Root Metac.

The Devouring Root Metac could transfer lifespan to and from his disciples. It could also work with the other Devourer Metacs to modify the body like the Devouring Body Metac.

Unfortunately, it could no longer share his Domain Power with his disciples. So he frowned in displeasure and removed the Devouring Root Metac.

With a little effort, he recreated the Devouring Body and the Root of Power Metac. Then he restored them to their rightful place within the Supreme Metac.

When he was done, he examined the Supreme Metac to see its structure.

-FENRIR(ESSENCE OF THE HUNTER - (9^3 × 9%): Devouring(Main). Auxiliary(Power Identification. Tracking. Seal. Siphon. Hunting Form. Devouring Body. Root of Power. Apostle Enslavement. Devourer Metac(x27))

Nodding in satisfaction, he thought, ’I’m already at 9% conversion efficiency, so I am nearly at the finish line. In another 8.3 hours, I will be ready to become a two-star celestial.’

’In the meantime, I need to establish my sect in the Blessed Heaven World. I also need to learn more about the ancient cultivation system.’

’But before that, I need to remove my obligations,’ he thought, a grin appearing on his lips as he took out the Freedom Supreme Metac from the spark of power.

The Freedom Supreme Metac was in the form of a colorless phantom cloak. Unlike other Supreme Metacs, which at least looked like solid objects, it didn’t bother to look like anything physical.

He had always wanted to use it to shed the burden of several promises and oaths he’d made in the past. But he always thought he would need to wait until his second star was activated before he could use it.

Now that he had confirmed Fenrir could hold and use Supreme Metacs, he didn’t have to wait anymore. At best, he only needed to create space inside the Devouring Supreme Metac.

To create space, he removed a few Devourer Metacs. With a thought, he pushed the phantom cloak into his star, forcing it to occupy the space he just created. Then he activated it.

He activated the Main Divine Ability, the Rank 9 Unshackled Ability. Its power was weak, but it made up for its weakness with steadiness. Slowly and surely, it removed the chains of the oaths he had sworn in this timeline and the previous ones.

The most recent oath he swore was with the Will of the Blessed Heaven World, when he sold the Blood Metac, a Major Dao, to it in exchange for promising never to remove his Sect and Pathways from the world.

He did that to prepare for the backlash his upcoming actions would create. He wanted to secure his first super world and first Domain before causing trouble across the Sea of Worlds.

Of course, the Will of the Blessed Heaven World had made him promise not to do anything detrimental to the world, and the agreement would remain valid until the Blessed Heaven World ascended and became a Divine Mountain.

He had sworn that oath knowing full well that he intended to break it. In fact, he looked forward to breaking it, because he wanted to see what a super world failing its ascension looked like. So he was eager to use the Freedom Supreme Metac.

While the Freedom Supreme Metac was working, he noticed the Apostle Enslavement Supreme Metac was still in the Devouring Supreme Metac. It wasn’t doing anything, so he picked the Apostle Enslavement Supreme Metac to remove it.

Just as he was about to extract it, he thought of something that made him hesitate. His gaze flickered between the Apostle Supreme Metac and the Root of Power Metac.

’Let me try it at least once. There is no harm anyway,’ he thought with a shrug.
