"I had been in the perfect land for such a long time. I thought I could control everything, so I released Mastema.
Then, I started cultivating him bit by bit. I was glad to see him become much stronger.
Especially when we were in the Boundless Shock World, I was deeply elated when I saw the range of destruction that he made. At the same time, I also despised the perfect land. Perfection means that it's already done, and there is nothing else to change. That's why I liked the imperfection of the Boundless Shock World more.
Mastema brought death, but he also brought forth creation and rebirth.
However, he went out of control. That was my biggest mistake and failure."
Clarence's voice became too dispirited.
His confidence was crushed by repeated failures.
Upon hearing this, Zen wasn't able to respond right away.
He had never thought that Clarence would actually have a depressing personality.
"But, isn't there still a chance?" Zen finally asked.
"Chance? What do you mean?" Clarence replied.
"You have awakened. With your absolute infinite energy and the ancestry-level bloodline, don't we have a chance to defeat him?" Zen answered with positivity.
"Forget it…" Clarence said with a bitter smile. "I have already defeated him many times. It's still no use. I still wasn't able to stop him from downgrading the worlds," he continued.
"Well, it's better than doing nothing!" Zen retorted, not showing any hint of willingness to give up.
When he first heard of Clarence's name, he had several guesses and high expectations for him. Thus, he was disappointed and frustrated that this person wasn't what he thought he would be.
At the same time, Clarence could actually read all of Zen's thoughts and memories. He could even feel his emotions, but he still didn't care.
The downgrader always treated the creatures born outside of the perfect land as tools, while Clarence saw them as a process.
This included the human beings, the four spirits, the Fostering race, the Cinnabar race, and the Sacred Spirit race.
He saw their existence as a process, and now, that process would finally come to an end. All the positive and negative things that occurred within the process were actually insignificant. Everything would still end at the appointed time.
"Well, if you still want to resist, I can help you. You're already skillful in using the Extreme Form energies, right? The only difference between you and the downgrader is the amount of energy, but I can also give you what he already has," Clarence said unexpectedly.
"Really? You'd do that?" Zen's eyes instantly lit up as he heard this.
"Yes. It's not that difficult for me," Clarence replied indifferently.
"Well, then…" Zen took a deep breath and sincerely said, "Please entrust it to me!"
Clarence didn't say anything but just directly infused some memories into Zen's soul.
Zen quickly and silently read these memories as he received them. After he finished, he suddenly understood why there was such a huge gap between him and the downgrader.
If the energy of the ancestry-level bloodline was likened to a line on a plane, then countless points could be acquired out of this line. This would be deemed as an infinite amount of energy.
However, what the downgader possessed were all the points in the plane.
It was a different kind of infinity that would surely overwhelm even the power of the ancestry-level bloodline.
With this, Clarence had already bestowed Zen everything he needed.
"Now, you know what you are about to face.
Let me see your resolve. I want to witness what this infinite strength could change."
Clarence had somehow become excited that his voice was even trembling.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
"Come out!
You can't just hide for the rest of your life!"
The downgrader knew that he had many ways to kill Zen. However, he still needed to completely destroy the Burial Land before he dealt with Zen.
In order to downgrade the worlds, he needed the primitive land. He didn't want to create a new one, which was why he hadn't destroyed the Burial Land just yet.
For a while, he had been shouting in the whole Burial Land, but Zen was still nowhere to be found and wasn't making any move.
Whoosh!
Suddenly, the downgrader looked towards the center of the Burial Land, where many tiny creatures were currently gathered.
