<h4>Chapter 852 Deration</h4>


    No matter how many times it happens, Empress Kui still felt it was off-putting that a man of Cain''s stature could retain such a reaction when even some lower early stage Heavenly Venerates can''tpletely control their first reactions.


    Still, not to be discouraged by this, Empress Kui nudged her head around, saying, "Shall we get in and getfortable?"


    With a silent nod from Cain, Empress Kui directly led Cain into her heavenly pce. She took him straight into the chamber mainly used for casual gatherings with her other friends.


    Cain could say that Empress Kui prepared sufficiently well. There was a mix of fragrances permeating the atmosphere to calm the mood.


    The fresh divine tea she served was potent enough to unleash a soothing warmth across Cain''s body.


    And Empress Kui wasn''t too reserved. She sat a friendly distance away from Cain, not too close, but also not too far so that he couldn''t inhale her own special fragrance.


    The genius duo made some light, enjoyable conversations for several minutes. She was an intriguing partner to discuss the Dao with.


    But Cain didn''t have time to dance around the main point of why he even came here.


    After one point, he directly asked, "So? Martial sister, what exactly was your point in inviting me here?"


    "Ah. The point..." Empress Kui took a deep breath to quell her tightening nerves. Streams of soul energy flowed through her to help calm her rising tension.


    Gathering her courage, Empress Kui stared straight into Cain''s eyes, wanting to reach deep into his soul. "Martial brother, my full name is Yan Kui. I wish for you to call me this instead. And, my intention for calling you here..."


    In a surprising move that even caused Cain to widen his eyes, Yan Kui stood up for a moment before slowly bending down.


    The unfathomable Yan Kui, a supreme empress reigning above everyone else, a majestic goddess to her entire faction, this legendary genius actually got down on one knee to kneel at Cain!


    The shock from it did ripple through Cain''s soul.


    But he didn''t make any attempt to stop her and patiently waited to hear out.


    Yan Kui strangely felt calmer in this position. To her, it wasn''t awkward or really all that strange.


    Her voice became calmer as she continued to say, "I can tell you are not a man of this world, of this heaven. I am not sure of your origins, and I don''t dare to pry to know. But I can tell that your destiny is more luxurious than that of even the Monarch Grandmaster Supremes of the Soul Core Region. Thus, I am humbly requesting to be a loyal follower of yours. It can be a maid under your assistance, I simply wish to join your side of sess."


    Her deration was filled with a powerful momentum that swept throughout the entire room.


    A sh of divine light faintly rippled out of her, bouncing off the room in a majestic scenery that lookedpletely like something a true fairy of the heavens would do.


    Cain stayed silent for a moment. He only looked at the topic of gaining a Supreme Emperor as his very own follower.


    Any other genius he could lightly treat in this kind of situation. But Yan Kui was hundreds, if not thousands of times more unique than all other geniuses Cain had seen so far.


    Yan Kui''s future wasn''t just destined to stay stuck in the Heavenly Venerate realm or even just reaching half-step True Divinity.


    A supreme genius like her could actually surpass just being a Demi-God, attaining a realm of power that can extend above the Heavens!


    The potential to have a True Divinity followpletely loyal to him was immense. This alone can allow him to start up an extremely powerful sect within any ce within this Heaven.


    Although, at the very least, that was Cain''s optimistic thinking.


    For a strange reason or another, he couldn''t keep this nagging feeling out of the depths of his soul. That the realm of True Divinity is far moreplicated and expansive than anything he experienced before.


    But these were all feelings he had no way to verify at this moment. And even then, the power of a True Divinity is thousands of times more terrifying than a Heavenly Venerate, it was impossible for anyone within the universe to underestimate them.


    Thus, in the end, Cain calmly nodded at Yan Kui. "If that is your wish, then yes, I will ept you as my...follower? General? Sword maid? Whatever you think suits you best. No matter the title, I am expectingplete loyalty from you. And as a sign of trust, I won''t request for us to do a soul alliance agreement."


    "Truly?" Yan Kui looked straight into Cain''s face, her own expression verging on borderline bewilderment.


    She did expect to go through some hoops to test her loyalty or some other means to see if she was that willing.


    All ways that Yan Kui would not mind in the slightest of doing.


    But to be epted quickly also caused a bloom of joy to spread through Yan Kui''s soul. Her lips curled into a dazzling beautiful smile, so bright that it can darken the brilliance of the sun.


    "Then, I will never let down your expectations!"


    It truly was rare, to even Heavenly Venerates existences to im absolute loyalty to a genius. They absolutely need to be existences that can surpass all other legendary existences in the heavens, figures that can stand above it all and lead those under them to a higher world.


    To Yan Kui, this is what Cain perfectly encapstes.


    To use a mere year to go from middle Divine Ruler to half-step Holy King, survive within the peakyer of the Cosmic Death Realm,prehend the Cosmic Force, and gain the powers to crush a Supreme Emperor among all his other achievements, one simply had to be blind to not see the unfathomable destiny radiating off from Can.


    This may be one the of biggest decisions Yan Kui made in her life. But it would be something she would never regret in her long life.


    As Yan Kui stood up, she felt iparably rxed, calmer than she ever felt before. She took her seat with that same glistening smile.


    And at this point, a question struck Cain''s mind. "Say, this quite the profound decision. We can keep it a secret for now, butter on, it wille out. Have any people close to you that would take this decision the wrong way?"


    "The wrong way?" Yan Kui lightly giggled. "I''m not sure who across this Heaven would take my decision the wrong way once knowing and seeing your achievements. As for my Yan Family, we are an ancient line that has been around for hundreds of thousands of years. They''re nowhere close to the power of a top master-tier force like our sect, but they are far better than the lower master tier forces. Due to my talents, I haveplete support from them and each and every one of the Elders truly wish to meet with you."


    "Is that so?" Cain could definitely see ways to make the Yan family useful to him and the situation within the Divine Boundless Heaven.


    As he thought on it, Cain wandered his gaze about Yan Kui. He directly asked, "Well then. I haven''t seen your powers yet. Any specific abilities I should know about before we continue on?"


    Yan Kui nodded and opened her palm. A sparkling ray of her dazzling soul energy condensed at the center of her palm.


    Cain''s attention was instantly pulled in, these sparkling rays glittering like the shine of a star.
