Abyssal Lord Of The Magi World

Ezequiel advanced deeper and deeper into the Prima Universe, teleporting with a speed that most Rank 8 life forms would find incredible. His Outer Origin Essence allowed his control over the Laws of Space-Time to reach a much higher level.

However, it would still take him some time to reach the Titan World, as Carceri was far away. The Prima Universe's core was roughly fifteen percent of the entire universe, and fiend planes were usually far from the Principal World and Planes of Primarchs.

Ezequiel waved his hand as he advanced, making an obsidian sphere appear. He focused his consciousness on it before speaking.

"Master has yet to return?"

Dante's voice emerged from the obsidian sphere less than a second later.

"Not yet, Supreme. Father told Great Elder Underworld that he would return after several decades at the earliest. He may very well be absent for at least one hundred years."

Ezequiel nodded after hearing that, and he found nothing wrong with it. Spending hundreds of years in training was not considered much at their level. He just spent more than twenty years performing his First Ignition and another sixty preparing for it.

"How many Archdevil and Archdemons have we located by now?"

One of the tasks Zatiel gave to the Sky Breakers was to locate Rank 7 Demons and Devils. It was not a complex mission, but it was not an easy one either.

"We have already located and done a comprehensive analysis of one hundred twenty-seven Archdemons and forty-three Archdevils."

The reason why the number of Archdemons was much higher than that of Archdevils was simple. One side was chaotic and prone to display its power in the open, while the other was crafty and showed nothing.

"Good enough. Focus your power on the Archdevils now, and try to increase the number to one hundred. After that, focus on your cultivation. If Master needs more, I will personally travel to Abyss and Baator to find them."

Ezequiel would find locating those Rank 7 fiends very easy with his current power, as he would not have to hide from them.

"Yes, Supreme."

There was one more subject Ezequiel wanted to discuss.

"How is the situation in the Virtual Dream Universe and Legacy?"

Dante took a moment to perform some calculations to give the most accurate number possible.

"Five trillion have already reached Legacy, and around two and a half billion new faces appear daily. The Primarchs have truly exerted themselves with the Dream Gate Project."

"Excellent!" Ezequiel was thrilled when he heard that. The more geniuses raised to higher stages, the greater the foundation of the Prima Universe would be.

The Supreme Neo-Demon knew very well that there were highly gifted people who may have found their destinies sealed due to their background. After all, he was a perfect example of what someone could achieve under the proper guidance.

"What about the Legacy Trial?"

What Ezequiel referred to as Legacy Trials were challenges that Zatiel created inside Legacy to test the life forms of the universe.

Some of the Legacy Trials were very encompassing as testing your full battle power. Others were focused on challenging your offensive might or speed, while some were more obscure as proving your perception, willpower, and even scheming abilities.

Zatiel divided each trial by Rank, and there was the Legacy Order where the top one hundred challengers would have their names engraved.

Just surpassing a Legacy Trial would grant you Dream Coins, but if you do it with such a mastery that your name appeared in the Legacy Order, your gains would be multiplied by one thousand.

Nevertheless, Dream Coins were not the main reason people wanted to see their name in the Legacy Order. They strive to do it due to the immense fame and respect granted, with the top ten in each classification being worthy of even having Law Overlords as teachers.

Anyone who reached the Legacy Order would have the spotlight on them. Those already belonging to great powers would not find too much change as their organization discovered them a long time ago and were usually under strict guidance.

But things were different for the people coming from humble origins. Universe Dream would guide them, transporting them and their races into a High World, outside of the Neo-Demon Realm, where they would enjoy the guidance and resources of the Neo-Demon Race.

"Regarding the trials on the Physical Realm, the Neo-Demon Race has a considerable presence in the Legacy Orders. However, things take a radical change in the trials at the Soul Realm. As for the Rank 7 trials, there is none of our kind in it."

Despite all that, Ezequiel was pleased with the result. At an early stage, Neo-Demons were superior in every aspect to other races. But, as one awakened their True Soul and entered into contact with the laws, they have a higher room for development beyond their racial heritage.

'Oh, I have not seen that name in a long time.' Ezequiel went through the Legacy Orders of each Rank, and one name drew his attention. It belonged to someone he fought along more than a millennia ago.

Rank 6 Legacy Order- Offensive Might Trial

N°1 Fallen Archangel - Nero

N°2 Sword Sky Breaker - Heinz

N°3 Shura Buda - Nito

N°4 Astral Fiend - Roku

N°5 Sundering Flame - Kiryn

N°6 Sundering Titan - Crux

N°7 Prima Holy Son - Gwyn

N°8 Cataclysm Draco - Sureing

N°9 Supernova Queen - Pholix

N°10 Dark Nirvana - Sophia

Ezequiel was surprised by the appearance of Nero as the N°1 in the offensive might trial.

When the Supreme Neo-Demon first saw him, the Fallen had yet to mature his bloodline fully. Even then, an Archangel Bloodline would not be enough for such a feat.

It was clear that Nero's destiny had obtained a massive upgrade since the time Ezequiel last saw him.

"Supreme, may I suggest that you take the Rank 7 Legacy Trials. With your power, there is no doubt we will secure the N° 1 position in all of them."

Although the Neo-Demon Race promoted inclusion, they also had a powerful sense of racial pride. Seeing no one of them in the Rank 7 Legacy Orders was not pleasant for Dante, and he wanted to change that.

Individuals among the Neo-Demon Race had evolved into the Law Realm. While they were strong and talented, they still fell short against the genius Void Creators from the Principal World and Planes.

Zatiel participating in the Legacy Trials would not be fair, as he was the one who created them, and people already acknowledged him as an entity at the Primarch level in his past life.

However, Ezequiel was different. He was a new life form in every sense, and there should not be any problem with him taking the Legacy Trials.

Ezequiel only smiled and softly shook his head when he heard Dante's request.

"Tell me, Dante, why do you think Master created the Legacy Orders?"

Silence reigned for a second before Dante's answer was heard.

"To generate a sense of competence and push people to try harder."

Competence done the right way can help someone achieve feats they may not think themselves able to do in any other circumstance.

"You are right, but you are still missing something. The Legacy Order's core goal is so when that person sees their name engraved in golden letters, proving that their hard work and talent surpassed that of billions, the idea they can achieve anything will emerge in their souls. That will help them rise through countless life and death trials in the future."

Dante remained silent as he heard those words, as a sense of enlightenment filled him.

"It improves one's destiny!"
