Since Kincaid was put into the Sumeru Space by Zen, he was completely cut off from the outside world.
He didn't realize that his sword had already been lost until Zen told him.
As he heard this piece of news, his hand greatly trembled and a look of extreme surprise appeared on his face. "It fell into the hands of the Snake Spirit King?"
"No. It is an existence that is even far stronger than the Snake Spirit King," Zen replied.
Then, Zen took the liberty of telling him what had happened in his battle against the humanoid being.
When Zen mentioned the ancestry-level bloodline, Kincaid wasn't able to hide his excitement. He was just as thrilled as the others from the Bold Conjecture House. Afterward, the topic went back to Elder Xue, and Zen repeated what he had said to the others.
Hearing all of this, Kincaid wasn't able to keep his calm for a long time.
The development of the situation was far beyond his expectation. They were in such a precarious condition, and even time was their enemy.
Since a long time ago, Kincaid had hated Cornelius to the core. Even if he racked his mind, he couldn't figure out a sensible reason why Cornelius wanted to destroy the Four Spirits Sect.
But now, the mystery had been revealed. He came to understand everything.
Just as Zen had said, the downgrader was a warrior from the world of a higher grade, and once he got a hold of the irregular heavy sword, no one would probably have the chance to defeat him.
"Since the downgrader could downgrade the world from a higher grade to a lower one, his strength should be something that we can't fight against. Then, why is he hiding behind Cornelius's shadow?" Kincaid was a little confused about this part.
"I think it is because he has lost a large portion of his strength, and the heavy sword was his way to make up for it," Zen replied. "My basis for saying that is because the Deep Space hasn't been completely downgraded yet, and only a small portion of the main world has been downgraded."
Zen was pointing out that if the downgrader possessed all of his original power, there was no need for him to manipulate the Snake Spirit King. He could just directly perform the downgrade.
"I get your point. If that's the case, he will begin the downgrade after he got my sword, right?" Kincaid emphasized.
After all, he was a creature of the main world. Living in the third-grade world made him feel restricted as if his eyes were blindfolded.
"You're right. Even before he got the sword, the downgrade has already begun. He wants to control the entire chaos and expand it outwards," Zen explained.
Although this was just speculation at first, it had been later confirmed by the ancestry-level bloodline.
The ancestry-level bloodline had once described the process of downgrading to Zen. At first, it would seem to begin from a bead of water dropping into a pond, which would then create a small bubble. Then, this bubble would expand indefinitely until it finally drained all the water in the entire pond. When the bubble occupied all the space that originally belonged to the water in pond, it was when the downgrade was completed.
After the downgrader came to the main world, he was only able to trick the Four Spirits Sect through the Snake Spirit King. Perhaps, his strength was not enough, or maybe he had lost some of his abilities. One could only speculate on the real reason behind it. Then, the Four Spirits Sect, completely unaware of the downgrader's ploy, sent out the world builders to drop the beads of water to create bubbles.
However, the bubbles they created could not expand indefinitely.
Kincaid took a deep breath to process all the information he acquired. Then out of nowhere, he asked a question that everyone had overlooked. "Where is Elder Xue now? Where did he go after he came to the chaos?"
He wanted to know whether Elder Xue was dead or alive. In his mind, the whereabouts of the elder might somehow give them a clue that would lead to something.
The eyes of the long-haired monsters gazed upon the top of Zen's head. Actually, only the Grand Supreme Elderly Lord had come into contact with Elder Xue.
"He came to the Jade Pure Realm and sent me a message through a dream, telling me to travel through the main world. Then, he just left without saying anything. There was no information about where he would go afterward," the Grand Supreme Elderly Lord answered.
