Chapter 4228 The New Hope

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 spa

Space finally collapsed."

"It must mean that these two races were evenly matched in terms of strength," Zen speculated. "But it's still hard to believe that during that long-term war, neither of the two sides was able to gain the upper hand. Usually, one side will inevitably continue to rise and the other one will decline. It's very difficult to maintain such a balance."

"That is correct… in normal circumstances." Kincaid continued, "What maintained the balance between the two great forces were the heavy sword that belonged to the emperor of the Cinnabar race, and the other object, with almost the same prowess as the sword, that belonged to the Fostering race."

This was not something that Kincaid just deduced. Back then, when he obtained the sword of the Cinnabar race, he was also able to obtain some information indicating that the Fostering race had the same weapon, which granted them the power to withstand the Cinnabar race.

Of course, Kincaid became curious and tried to look for it, but he didn't succeed. After all, the broken Deep Space was a vast and extremely dangerous place.

Realizing what Kincaid was trying to say, Zen butted in, "Now, we have to search for this weapon, right?"

Kincaid nodded repeatedly. "That's why I have to make sure that Elder Xue is still alive and is still somewhere in the Deep Space. No one among us can return to the main world, meaning that we also can't reach the Deep Space. If we want to find this object, we can only rely on him."

Everyone was amazed at how fast Kincaid was able to come up with a feasible solution. Just now, everyone was still immersed in despair and felt that the situation was completely hopeless. Even Zen was almost on the brink of giving up. However, Kincaid was the only one who was not affected by the oppressive pressure that the situation was bringing. In fact, he was able to find a glimmer of hope in a very short time. He was really born with tremendous talents that could turn the tables just when everything seemed to be already falling apart.
