Nheless, even if that were true, it would only mean they had grasped the power of the universe''sws from the lower dimension.


    A cultivator whoprehended thesews could easily be defeated by a powerful being from the middle dimension.


    This showed that the chosen ones, blessed by the heavens, were far ahead of most cultivators in the lower dimension from the very beginning.


    Such individuals were incredibly fortunate!


    Every cultivator aspired to ascend to the middle dimension and even the upper dimension.


    Raymond was no exception.


    He envied those chosen by the heavens, but sadly, he was not one of them.


    Despite his talents and lifelong dedication to cultivation, he had only reached the pre-Emperor level.


    Raymond had achieved a level that most cultivators could never dream of, but the further he progressed, the stronger his jealousy became.


    He resented the idea of being cast aside by the dimensions and longed to be one of the chosen.


    Yet, he realized that hecked the opportunity.


    Hence, Raymond despised all the chosen ones.


    Since joining Barker, Raymond had learned of Fremont''s existence and hated Fremont.


    Nevertheless, Raymond knew Fremont possessed the power to defeat Barker, so he must haveprehended the universe''sws of the middle dimension, if not the upper dimension.


    Although Raymond was not one of the chosen, he saw an opportunity.


    Once that guy was dead and Fremont came to Anderson Town, Raymond could team up with Barker to defeat Fremont.


    Then, they could imprison Fremont and use various torture methods to extract the secrets of the universe''sws from him.


    At that point, even though Raymond was not chosen, he could still learn to control the power of the universe''sws from the middle dimension.


    Consequently, he could continue to advance and, through his own efforts, be one of the chosen!


    However, Raymond heard cultivators who learned the upper dimension''s power of the universe''sws were known as the executors of the universe, capable of foreseeing future events.


    If such a cultivator could foresee the future, then Fremont likely already knew what was happening in Anderson Town.


    If that were the case, would he not know his chosen one might die here?


    If Fremont knew, he would undoubtedlye to rescue his chosen one.


    In that scenario, the n Raymond and Barker had devised would be in vain.


    After all, a cultivator who could foresee the future would not be easily outwitted. Raymond realized that teaming up with Barker to defeat Fremont might seem like a joke.


    However, Fremont might have only grasped the universe''sws of the middle dimension instead of the upper dimension.


    If that was the case, it would be the best-case scenario.


    When Fremont arrived, Barker, with the power of the Dark Tree, would undoubtedly defeat him.


    Raymond could then follow Barker and gain the opportunity to master the universe''sws of the middle dimension.


    Raymond looked at his right hand, forming it into a w, and uttered, "Everything depends on the oue of this operation."


    With that, Raymond entered a dark basement to continue his work.


    Meanwhile, inside the Ezekiel Mine, Wilbur watched as the stones beneath him were slowly consumed by the ck sludge.


    He levitated, observing the ck liquid flowing below with a growing sense of curiosity and concern.


    What was this ck liquid?


    How was it able to devour stone?
