But no matter how unbelievable he thought Slav’s Cave Heaven was, he had to believe it. After all, he was looking at it and seeing is believing.
What’s even worse is that the Cave Heaven of 11,159 million square kilometers is the least of his concerns. What concerned him the most was that Slav actually had four more rank 8 Divine Metacs stored away.
No one else noticed the other four rank 8 Divine Metacs. This was because they didn’t appear in his Life Fire.
No one noticed the rank 9 Supreme Metac either. These four rank 8 Divine Metacs and the one rank 9 Metac were behaving as if they didn’t exist at all.
They reminded Loki of how Fenrir hides its existence by not showing up in his Life Fire. The four rank 8 Divine Metacs also reminded him of a certain Divine Metac that he was familiar with.
One of those rank 8 Divine Metacs was the Danger Sense Metac. It was the same one that Fenrir devoured a long time ago and used to create his first Divine Metac, which was the Reversal Metac.
He couldn’t make heads or tails of what was going on at all. But his confusion was quickly swept away and replaced by fear when Slav glanced in his direction.
He was currently in the world barrier, so he believed that he was safe. So when Slav glanced at the spot in the world barrier where he was hiding, his nonexistent heart skipped a beat.
However, his worst fears didn’t come to pass. Slav only glanced his way before disappearing.
He didn’t leave the world barrier even after Slav was gone. He stayed there for over a month before he decided that there was no danger.
As he left the world barrier, he said to himself, ’It is a pity that I can’t mark Slav anymore. Maybe I could have marked him when he was a mortal. But I surely can’t do so now, or he will know for sure that I am spying on him.’
’When he was a mortal, he could remove the mark. Now that he is essentially a rank 9 divine being, he might be able to do more than remove the mark. He might even be able to trace me through the mark.’
The more he thought about messing with Slav in any way, the more reasons came up in his mind telling him that it was a bad idea to do so.
The truth was that Slav’s ascension had given him a lot of pressure. He decided that he couldn’t waste time anymore, so he rushed over to the meeting location.
On the way there, he promised to destroy Crystal City and kill Slav in the next timeline to make sure that Slav wouldn’t be able to become a divine being and threaten him.
He hadn’t destroyed Crystal City in this timeline because he didn’t need the lifespan. The lifespan that he got from the heart of the medium world had been enough for him to kill the three money cultivators and pressure Forced Exchange to surrender.
Plus, by the time he killed Gold Body, he already had a lot of living beings in his Cave Heaven and had acquired a lot of world essence from the small worlds that he looted. So he hadn’t needed to devour the city.
The reason he had decided not to kill Slav in the awakening was that he wanted to see what Slav would do. But now that he had seen what Slav was capable of doing, he was no longer interested in keeping the fallen Dao Lord alive.
He was thinking about this as he left the Blessed Heaven World. Slav was also thinking about him as he watched Loki leave the Blessed Heaven World.
With his Cave Heaven, which is as large as a domain in the Blessed Heaven World, and an Insight Stat that had been raised to 8 units, there is no way Loki could hide from him.
He knew about Loki’s existence from the moment he reincarnated. In fact, Loki’s existence and power are why he rushed to acquire so many Divine Positions in such a short amount of time.
If he had his way, he would have taken things slowly. And if Loki had been weak, he would have created and used a Luck Suppression Metac to suppress Loki.
But Loki was a divine being, so the usage of the Luck Suppression Metac by a mortal wasn’t going to work on him. Plus, every other day or week, the threat of Loki became stronger and stronger to him.
Of course, at that time, he didn’t know who Loki was. He only knew that there was a threat to his existence that was growing stronger and stronger. At that time, he even suspected that the threat was the Sword God.
The fact that he didn’t know who the threat was and couldn’t do anything to deal with it pushed him to speed things up. So he secretly recovered some of the Divine Metacs of the Luck Pathway.
He recovered those Metacs by sacrificing some symbol of the authorities of small worlds to his Supreme Metac. This was easy to do because the schematic for every Divine Metac of the pathway is stored in the Supreme Metac.
The storage of the information of every Divine Metac of the pathway in the Supreme Metac is one of the reasons why every sect has control over a pathway and why the sect can always know how to refine the Divine Metac, even if the person who created the Divine Metac didn’t tell anyone about it.
In this case, he simply transferred the Life Sparks within those symbols of authority to the schematics of the Divine Metacs in the Supreme Metacs. So he didn’t have to go through much effort to get back the lost Divine Metacs.
His mentor had given him the symbols of authority to use to elevate his mutated Life Ability to the level of a Divine Metac. But he used them for four personal and secret purposes.
