After thinking about the confrontation with the group of rank 8 cultivators, he came to another conclusion, which made him say, "The second worst part of that confrontation was that I wouldn’t be able to threaten him and the other rank 8 cultivators without using the Divine Metacs of other pathways. That would have exposed my ability to use the Divine Metacs of other pathways. So I think it is time to find a way to be able to use my power legitimately."
"Regardless of the success of the Divine Position that I am about to devour, I should find a way to reveal more of my power without having to resort to exposing my ability to use the Divine Metacs of any pathway."
This plan to use legitimate reasons to power is one of the things he decided to focus on in this pathway. It is so that he won’t be so handicapped in fights anymore.
Of course, being able to reveal more of his power safely won’t be much of an issue if he advances to rank 7. At that point, he will become stronger, and it will be more reasonable for him to display great strength.
But in the unlikely case that he doesn’t get to advance to rank 7, it will become more important for him to be able to display great power without running the risk of attracting the attention of Dao Lords.
He was thinking about this until he left the River of Time. It was an important matter that he would have loved to think more about, and he would have continued to think about it if not for the fact that the devouring of the Divine Position and its outcome was more important to him.
The outcome of the devouring of the Divine Position demanded his total attention, so he stopped thinking about everything else. Fortunately, he already had a plan about what to do to achieve the goal of being able to display more power without drawing more unwanted attention to himself.
In the awakening room, Fenrir busied itself with devouring the Divine Position. During this process, his Cave Heaven also began to form. So his Power Core was fusing with his Mental World at the same time that Fenrir was digesting the Divine Position.
The fluctuation of his advancement to rank 6 caused a great pressure to erupt from his body and press down on everyone around him. All of them were mortals, so all of them fainted.
They remained unconscious even after he was done creating his Cave Heaven and stopped bombarding his surroundings with the pressure of his existence. Their minds were just too weak, so it would take a while longer for them to wake up.
In the meantime, Loki was still digesting the Divine Metac. When Muni was about to wake up, he summoned his Cave Heaven to bombard the poor man’s mind and make him faint again.
He kept everyone unconscious until the Divine Position was fully digested. During this process, he was very hopeful about the outcome of the devouring.
His voice was full of anticipation as he said, "If it is taking so long, it should give me something good when it is done."
He wanted the digestion to finish immediately, but he couldn’t get his way with that. He could only wait and hope that it would finish quickly.
Fortunately, Fenrir was done 17 minutes after his Cave Heaven was done. As soon as he felt the feedback from Fenrir, he checked his status with the Power Identification Ability.
Even without using the Power Identification Ability to check, he already had an inclination about the outcome of the digestion based on the feedback that he received from Fenrir. But he checked anyway just to be sure.

There was indeed a change, but it wasn’t the change he wanted. In fact, it wasn’t a change that he cared about.
This made him frown and say to himself, ’This is the first time something like this is happening. Usually, when I devour Divine Positions, I gain nothing. But this time, I gained the lifespan of my previous timeline.’
’Does this have something to do with the new Divine Position of the Golden Lion Strength Metac? Is that Divine Position special, or was the fact that it possessed a rank 7 Divine Metac the reason why I gained lifespan from it?’
’It could also be the fact that I devoured two Divine Positions. After all, that would be the first time I’m devouring two Divine Positions and bringing them over into the past.’
’But why would two Divine Positions do something that one Divine Position couldn’t do? Besides, the two Divine Positions are gone now, just like before when I devoured one Divine Position. So is lifespan the only thing I can gain from more Divine Positions?`
He had a lot of questions to ask about this unexpected outcome. But at the end of the day, his curiosity about why he gained more lifespan couldn’t overshadow his disappointment in the fact that he didn’t advance to rank 7.
His disappointment made him shake his head as he thought to himself, saying, ’I should have expected this outcome because Divine Positions are main empty things. They are not the main carrier of power.’
’The main carrier of power in a pathway is the Supreme Metac. The power that Divine Positions have is what they borrowed from the Supreme Metac.’
’The core power of divine beings isn’t in their Divine Metacs either. This is why a rank 6 divine being can have a rank 7 Divine Metac and a rank 7 divine being can use a rank 6 Divine Metac.’
