And with how much force Cain had exuded on his soul nucleus previously, he had to be somewhat careful if he didn't want to risk a crack forming. Even just a tiny fracture would cause his soul energy to become immensely difficult to control, thereby weakening his grasp over his Inner World, bloodline, and all other divine skills. Cain had to balance the situation.
