Chapter 370: That ‘white paper’

"How about it?"

"Our Human Civilization only wants one-fifth of the aurora, which isn't asking for too much."

Gu Li Supreme Expert spoke in a calm tone, but permeating this distorted spacetime, the aura of the other eight Supreme Powerhouses made no attempt to conceal themselves.

The other dozen or so Supreme Powerhouses looked at each other.

There were other Ultimates standing behind them as well, but the combat power of Human Civilization's nine Supreme Powerhouses was indeed difficult to deal with.

"So be it."

The Single-Horned Supreme Powerhouse ultimately compromised.

There was no choice.

If they didn't feed Human Civilization first, the subsequent division could not be completed at all.

*Whoosh.*

Gu Li Supreme Expert raised a hand and took away one-fifth of the aurora, then vanished from this spacetime.

Once Gu Li Supreme Expert left, the auras of the eight Human Civilization Supreme Powerhouses also rapidly receded.

"Our Heaven Wing Clan has also suffered heavy losses," the Heaven Feather Race Progenitor slowly opened his mouth, wanting to replicate Human Civilization's behavior just now and be the first to take a portion of the aurora.

Human Civilization's territory.

The mental will of the nine Supreme Powerhouses communicated rapidly.

"Within this segment of aurora lies extremely deep powers of karmic curse-killing. Before refining it into an Ultimate weapon, we can let those Genius Evolvers comprehend it for a while."

"Indeed. Although the Karma Rule is not a pillar rule, it is the most mysterious and special rule. The more one comprehends the Karma Rule, there are only benefits and no downsides."

"Then I will refine this segment of aurora first."

The nine Supreme Powerhouses quickly determined the use of the aurora.

Refining it into an Ultimate weapon.

However, before refining it, they could appropriately allow some Genius juniors of Human Civilization to feel the original aura of the aurora at close range.

Supreme Being Xia Qin's personal world.

Supreme Being Xia Qin sat high on his throne, seemingly contemplating something.

Before long.

Lin Yuan's figure appeared.

"Supreme Being," Lin Yuan bowed slightly.

The more he Cultivated, the more Lin Yuan felt the greatness of a Supreme Powerhouse.

This greatness went far beyond mere strength. The essence of their life and the height at which they stood were things lives within the Time River could not even look up to.

"Mm," Supreme Being Xia Qin looked at Lin Yuan, a smile appearing on his face. "How has your Cultivation been recently? Have you encountered any Bottlenecks?"

Supreme Being Xia Qin cared deeply about Lin Yuan. After all, in his eyes, Lin Yuan was the Evolver of Human Civilization's current era most likely to charge toward the Ultimate.

If Human Civilization could give birth to a tenth Supreme Powerhouse, the pressure they bore would naturally lessen by a lot.

"Everything is going alright."

Lin Yuan nodded.

It was more than just "alright."

Fifty years ago, Lin Yuan had only comprehended two Pillar-level fusion rules.

But now, Lin Yuan mastered as many as six Pillar-level fusion rules. Among them, the Life and Death Reincarnation Rule had even reached the Second Stage, and the Great Destruction Rule was almost approaching the Second Stage as well.

An achievement that an ordinary Tier 10 Evolver could not attain in tens of millions of years had taken Lin Yuan a mere fifty years to accomplish.

Not to mention that aside from comprehending Fusion rules, Lin Yuan had also made great progress in Space Rules, Time Rules, and the three great Dao-protecting secret arts of the Xuanhuang Lineage.

"As long as it's alright."

Supreme Being Xia Qin didn't ask further.

The evolution path was a very private matter.

With Lin Yuan's talent and Aptitude, he had already paved a path of his own.

If he forcefully intervened, it would not be a good thing.

What Supreme Being Xia Qin could do now was resolve all of Lin Yuan's worries about the future as much as possible.

"In a while, there will be an Opportunity to comprehend the original body of that aurora segment. I will have you go," Supreme Being Xia Qin said directly.

"The original aurora?"

"Is it the aurora that shattered that large Alien Race Battlefield numbered A076?"

Lin Yuan's eyes lit up, and he immediately inquired.

"Correct," Supreme Being Xia Qin nodded.

There was no need to hide this matter.

"Through negotiations between our Human Civilization and those alien Supreme Powerhouses, we ultimately obtained one-fifth of the entire aurora segment."

Supreme Being Xia Qin briefly explained.

"Negotiations?"

"One-fifth?"

Lin Yuan blinked his eyes.

Among Peak Groups, strength had always reigned supreme. Negotiations? What was there to negotiate?

And one-fifth? Based on what Lin Yuan knew, there were over ten Supreme Powerhouses who took part in blocking that aurora back then.

This didn't even include the Supreme Powerhouses who wanted a piece of the pie later on.

Human Civilization took one-fifth directly—how overbearing!

"Supreme Being, where did this aurora come from?" Lin Yuan asked.

He knew that the aurora came from beyond the permanent spatial rift, which was within the Chaos Void.

But where exactly was it, and why would an existence like the 'aurora' be born?

Lin Yuan didn't understand much about it.

"This aurora should have come from the 'Taiyuan Ruins,'" Supreme Being Xia Qin pondered for a moment before speaking.

"Taiyuan Ruins?" Lin Yuan was slightly taken aback.

"Indeed. Within the scope currently explored in the Chaos Void, the Taiyuan Ruins rank among the Nine Danger Zones," Supreme Being Xia Qin said.

Lin Yuan listened quietly.

What Supreme Being Xia Qin was talking about was clearly no longer confined to the interior of the Universe.

"Are the Taiyuan Ruins very dangerous?" Lin Yuan noticed that Supreme Being Xia Qin used 'danger zone' to describe the Taiyuan Ruins.

"Naturally dangerous, extremely dangerous," Supreme Being Xia Qin nodded.

"Even a Twelve-Order Life, if careless, will fall completely within the Taiyuan Ruins," Supreme Being Xia Qin said.

In fact, the danger of the Taiyuan Ruins was not limited to within the ruins; there were also various taboo items occasionally ejected from the depths of the ruins.

These taboo items had influences ranging from large to small, utterly immeasurable.

"Inside the Universe, Twelve-Order Lives are invincible; at most, they suffer heavy injuries," Supreme Being Xia Qin sighed emotionally. "But outside the Universe, in the Chaos Void, Twelve-Order Lives still have the possibility of dying."

Lin Yuan nodded.

One or two hundred years ago, the corpse of a Supreme Powerhouse that floated in from outside the Universe had made Lin Yuan realize that Supreme Powerhouses could die too.

Supreme Powerhouses merely stepped out of the Time River and had no Lifespan limits, but that didn't mean they were immortal.

"Of course, while the Chaos Void has dangers, it also has Opportunities. For us Twelfth Order, wanting to take a step further and transform into a Perfect Time Life is only achievable with a slim probability in the Chaos Void,"

Supreme Being Xia Qin said.

"Perfect Time Life?" Lin Yuan's thoughts strayed.

Tier 9 lives were also known as multi-spatial lives.

From Tier 9 life to Tier 11 life, it was all a transformation from a Multi-Spatial Life toward a Time Lifeform.

Until stepping into the Twelfth Order.

A Twelve-Order Ultimate could barely be considered half a Time Lifeform.

They occupied the past and present, walking along the 'shores' of the Time River.

Yet Ultimate Existences still had pursuits, which was transforming into a perfect Time Lifeform.

Simply put, the goal of a Twelve-Order Ultimate Existence was to attempt to occupy the future.

Only a life that simultaneously occupied the past, present, and future was qualified to be called a Perfect Time Life.

Supposedly, a Perfect Time Life could see into the endlessly distant future with a single glance and could also return to the ancient past.

Theoretically, as long as a Perfect Time Life was willing, they could completely alter past history and shape the future into what they wished to see.

However…

Up until now, Lin Yuan had never heard of any Perfect Time Life existing.

Even Your Majesty Xuan Huang and the Moyu Tower Master were still far from being called Perfect Time Lives; they were merely stronger than the vast majority of Twelve-Order Ultimates.

"The Chaos Void holds great opportunities, but unfortunately, we lives within the Universe, even at the Twelfth Order, cannot leave," Supreme Being Xia Qin sighed, as if recalling something.

"Cannot leave?"

Lin Yuan looked puzzled.

The permanent spatial rift was right there.

Why could they not leave?

"The Universe has a will. Twelve-Order beings like us have devoured an unknown amount of cosmic energy. Once we try to free ourselves from the Universe and go to the Chaos Void, we will inevitably face the full-force obstruction of the cosmic will,"

Supreme Being Xia Qin said.

"So that's how it is."

Lin Yuan instantly understood.

"Therefore, if we want to go to the Chaos Void, we only have a chance when this cosmic era ends and all things are destroyed."

Supreme Being Xia Qin's tone fluctuated faintly.

Evidentially.

Matters were not as simple as he made them sound.

When the cosmic era ended and all things collapsed, Supreme Powerhouses had to endure and survive it to completely break free from the Universe's restrictions.

If they couldn't endure it, they would naturally step into termination along with the Universe.

However, after the Universe was destroyed, there would be new life born, but Supreme Powerhouses did not have such an ability.

If a Supreme Powerhouse ended along with the Universe, everything about them would turn into the most chaotic power to support the rebirth of the next cosmic era.

Normally, out of ten Twelve-Order Ultimates, at most half could endure the end of a cosmic era.

Only Twelve-Order Ultimates who survived the end of a cosmic era possessed the confidence to roam the Chaos Void.

Departing from Supreme Being Xia Qin's personal world.

Lin Yuan's mind fluctuated slightly.

This time, he learned many higher-tier pieces of information from Supreme Being Xia Qin.

For instance, the Nine Danger Zones of the Chaos Void?

Or the restrictions faced by Supreme Powerhouses within the Universe?

"These things are still too far from me."

Lin Yuan thought for a moment, then stopped dwelling on it.

He was currently only Tier 10, still a great distance away from the Twelfth Order.

And the end of the cosmic era?

According to Supreme Being Xia Qin's estimate, from the birth of the Universe to now, only one-tenth of a cosmic era had passed.

In other words, there were still nine-tenths of a cosmic era until the end of the cosmic era, which in years would be far more than hundreds of quadrillions of years.

So far, the time Lin Yuan had spent in the Main Universe was less than two hundred years.

At the same time.

Outside the Universe where Lin Yuan resided.

In the Chaos Void filled with hazy grey gas.

A piece of 'white paper' was speeding in a certain direction.

If one observed carefully, they would discover that this piece of 'white paper' seemed to have no concept of 'thickness', having only length and width.

Within the 'white paper', mist swirled, vaguely encompassing a vast world.

The entire piece of 'white paper' was like a scroll, beautiful and mysterious.

Yet, unbelievably—

Wherever the 'white paper' passed, space in the Chaos Void faintly began to collapse, rapidly losing the concept of spatial thickness, and even time became unnaturally narrow, as if dropping from three dimensions down to two in an instant.

*Whoosh.*

In the blink of an eye.

That piece of 'white paper' vanished into the heavy currents of Chaos Qi.
