And all of that only required him to acquire the Authority of a few more Paths.
In an instant, Lingchen fully analyzed the Remnant of [Propagation].
The power of [Domination] brought it under control, and then Lingchen touched the Path of [Propagation].
Perhaps Lingchen did not align with the Path of [Propagation], or perhaps it was because he had just used Qlipoth's hammer, and the Aeon's will had filled the Path with resistance to Qlipoth and him. The entire Path seemed to have developed a will of its own, rejecting him.
