expression darkened by a deep frown.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sharp winds and swirling sandstorms would have instantly torn apart a Divine Ascension Master, yet the ferocious gusts were no more than a mild inconvenience to this man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each grain of sand that pelted his tempered flesh harmlessly bounced away, unable to leave even a scratch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He continued forward with unwavering confidence, guided by a precise sense of direction that suggested he was looking for someone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At length, he arrived at a barren stretch of land.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dunes parted before him, revealing an empty expanse under the blazing desert sun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Brimming with purpose, his sharp gaze scanned the horizon until it settled upon another figure standing motionless in the distance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The second individual was also a Godslayer Human, albeit with short black hair and a striking, handsome face.  A small smile flickered on the golden-haired man’s lips as he approached, though traces of relief and a hint of tension flickered in his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lotario.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So it really was you who contacted me.” The golden-haired man spoke in a deep voice that resonated through the arid air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s been years since anyone heard from you.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We all thought you had perished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Honestly, I was surprised when your message reached my A.I.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chip.” His relief transformed into a wry grin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fortunately, that’s not the case.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And that means you can still repay the money you owe me.” From the tone of his voice, it was obvious that their relationship was far from friendly-the golden-haired man had come here specifically to collect a debt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While it was certainly strange that Lotario would summon someone he was indebted to, the man seemed unconcerned by the irregularity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His confidence was born of a deep sense of trust in his own power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, Lotario offered only a soft, ambiguous smile in response.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He took a single step forward-and in that brief moment, his entire figure shattered like fragile glass.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What emerged from the dissolving form of Lotario was an entirely different individual: a young man with short white hair, his left and right eyes reflecting a cosmic nebula as though a universe resided within them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A third eye rested in the center of his forehead, exuding an overwhelming aura of space-time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shock and confusion flickered across the golden-haired man’s face for a moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stared at the newcomer, mind racing to match the stranger’s appearance with something he had once heard or seen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, as if a puzzle piece snapped into place, his eyes widened in recognition.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His entire demeanor shifted from confidence to horror.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You’re Cain Laurifer!” Cain, having revealed himself, arched an eyebrow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was mildly surprised by the man’s reaction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>According to Lotario’s memories, the golden-haired man’s name was Karlo, a member of an organization called Sorcerer’s Hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cain had used his [A.I.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chip Module] to send Karlo a fabricated summons under Lotario’s name, luring him to this isolated region of the desert.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His goal was to extract information from Karlo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Cain had not expected such an intense display of shock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sheer terror in Karlo’s eyes suggested that Cain’s name and reputation were more widely known than he had anticipated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How, exactly, did you learn my name?” Cain’s voice was casual, almost lackadaisical.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite having come here to kill Karlo, he maintained a relaxed demeanor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn’t that Cain was being careless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rather, he believed in the importance of staying calm-a bow held taut at all times would inevitably snap.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since losing the full support of his Ego Wave, Cain had to be especially cautious not to overburden his mental state.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Constantly remaining at peak tension could be dangerous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Karlo, meanwhile, seemed frozen, his brain struggling to process the scenario.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only when he saw the flicker of cold impatience in Cain’s eyes did Karlo manage to gather his wits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He drew a shaky breath, replying in a somber tone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You are Cain Laurifer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone in the Everlife Continent knows your name and face now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You’re the one who almost destroyed the body of a Third Realm life form from the Gu Sect…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And you released a Tier 9 Astral Supremacy Star that obliterated the Purgatory Volcanic Range and everything around it…” Before Cain could respond, a distinct voice-mocking and amused-echoed in his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hahaha, you’re famous now, brat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Well done!” “Ahh…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>how bothersome,” Cain sighed inwardly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had never sought fame.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If anything, he would have preferred anonymity, working from the shadows to protect his people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, as a leader, he couldn’t simply remain hidden.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His followers needed someone to believe in, a figurehead to guide them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, avoiding renown had never really been an option.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I guess even Third Realm life forms enjoy gossiping,” he added in a low murmur, shrugging his shoulders as if to brush off the significance of Karlo’s revelation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, with a swift motion, he waved his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A large, imposing halberd materialized in his grasp, shimmering with dark metallic luster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wait, I never did anything to you!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why must you attack me?!” Karlo shouted in alarm the moment he saw the deadly weapon appear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Panic flared in his eyes as he frantically attempted to contact his allies through his A.I.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chip and other means of communication.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it was futile-an invisible force field enveloped the area, blocking any outgoing signals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Karlo was truly alone with Cain, with no hope of rescue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cain tilted his head, studying the man with mild curiosity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s true.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You’ve never given me a personal reason to harm you.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But since when have people like us needed a reason to kill someone?” A sardonic smile curved his lips as he continued.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Besides, you’ve harmed others, haven’t you?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If you want a reason for this, then call it karmic retribution.” Cain wasted no more breath on the conversation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the span of a heartbeat, his energy burst forth, Essence Origin flaring like a tidal wave of power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Multiple Laws converged around his body and coalesced onto the Shooting Star Dragon Halberd, infusing the weapon with overwhelming might.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He took a single step forward, the desert sand cracking beneath his feet, and swung the halberd in a sweeping diagonal arc.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Dragon Eclipse Blade!” From the edge of the halberd, an enormous crescent of dark fire erupted, warping and distorting the very fabric of space as it roared toward Karlo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The flame’s heat and destructive pressure were so intense that the air itself sizzled, leaving behind flickering shadows.\u003C\u002Fp>",1094,"2026-06-02T09:45:46.162Z",1,"novelbin.me","eac5da0eb6dbd9ca6f11652225738d2ee3428a8b462e1f4fa40d16c1d0726138","the-epic-tale-of-chaos-vs-order-chapter-1547","the-epic-tale-of-chaos-vs-order-chapter-1545",2587,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-epic-tale-of-chaos-vs-order-cover.jpg"]
