"That concludes the votes," the man said. By now, his smile had returned.
'Wonder if he will try to cheat,' Kyle thought. 'He's the one who has to contact the World Seekers, and he doesn't want Swamp Dragon to die. He could say that they were not interested, and nobody would be able to validate his claims.'
"To summarize," the man added, "Fox will go to the Supreme World, but she will be under our management to make sure that she won't commit any additional atrocities. At the same time, she will also work on improving the Cosmos by fulfilling different tasks we give her."
"Swamp Dragon will remain the Overseer and work together with the World Seekers. Everyone else may do whatever they wish to do."
Sebastian and Kyle looked at each other for a while. Swamp Dragon just looked forward, probably planning his next move. Fox's brows were furrowed.
Nobody said anything.
"Then, this is it," the man said before he retrieved the table and the drinks. Kyle and the man had been the only people who had actually consumed the Burning Heart.
The man turned to Kyle. "How do you plan to leave this world? This is relevant since your answer will dictate how and when I contact the World Seekers."
"I will wait for another 50,000 years," Kyle answered. "Then, I'm going to leave with my own methods. I won't ascend."
Kyle looked at Sebastian.
50,000 years was all the longevity Sebastian had left.
It was still a bit of an unknown if Sebastian would be able to finish creating his Refined Law. Sebastian had worked hard to meet the requirements for his Fusion, but they were not easy to meet. Additionally, he had "wasted" more than 200,000 years.
In the end, he had split his Complex Law into two. He had fused the Level One to Level Five Laws of Lightning to create a Level 5.5 Lightning Essence, which he had infused into his body, creating a Level Six Law. Then, he had fused his Level Six and Level Seven Lightning Laws to create a weak Level 7.5 External Complex Law. With that, he only needed an Imposing Law that could reach the power of an above-average Level Seven Law.
That translated into an Imposing Law with roughly 75% quality. He had managed to push his Imposing Law to 77%, just to be sure, but creating his Refined Law would still take some time.
Unless...
Well, technically, the problem was not that Sebastian would die. There was no doubt that he would become an Immortal.
However, the manner in which he advanced played a big role.
If he could create a Refined Law, everything would work out nicely, but if he failed to create a healthy Refined Law...
He would create an unhealthy one, a Battle Rite, as Ayuvar had called it in the past.
Of course, if he chose that route, he would face a humongous problem. Either his Imposing Law would forever stay at this level, which could already be considered average for a new Immortal, or he would need to abandon his Imposing Law and create a new one. There was even a chance that he might forget his two Lightning Laws, but even if that happened, he could easily comprehend them again.
The issue was the Imposing Law. Recreating it would take hundreds of thousands of years.
Yet, as an Immortal, there were no more longevity constraints. Technically, he could create a Battle Rite and simply create a new Imposing Law.
If only it were that easy...
The Immortal Dimension was cutthroat. Immortals were valuable to the Higher Supreme Powers, but only as long as they contributed. The Higher Supreme Organizations gave them time to settle in, but if they still couldn't contribute, they would be thrown out.

Two, going to a lower Dimension, but that would be even more dangerous. There was a reason why one could only find Immortals in major strongholds, owned by the Higher Supreme Organizations. Due to balance and protecting the Main Dimension, random Immortals were not allowed to just go to the Main Dimension. If another Immortal found them, they would be killed.
