Cain and Anark crossed the Golden Portal and appeared in the void surrounding the Everstrife Empyrean World. As soon as they were beyond the perception range of the other super-powerhouses of the Six Sacred Races, Cain turned toward Anark.
The Scarlet King's eyes glowed with cold purpose and barely concealed hunger. "You still have the energy signatures and spatial traces of the three Empyrean Worlds that failed to send a representative, correct?"
The True Primordial of the Void studied Cain for a brief moment, then nodded.
"Perfect. I need you to search once more across the universe. The moment one of those worlds drifts close to ours, open a portal."
Anark understood Cain's intention immediately, and his eyes sharpened. "If the others discover you are conquering other Empyrean Worlds, they may turn against you—even with the threat of the Root looming over all of us."
