Chapter 396: Pushing the Door Open and Entering

In front of the huge scroll, the Half-meter-tall Old Man was somewhat dazed.

He could control everything in the Two-Dimensional World within the scroll at will. The entire Two-Dimensional World was like his own body, appearing in every detail.

As for the numerous ten thousand races experts who had fallen into the Two-Dimensional World? In the eyes of the Half-meter-tall Old Man, there were likewise no secrets, and he could see through them at a single glance.

Yet precisely because of this, the Half-meter-tall Old Man grew all the more astonished. His gaze crossed the entire Two-Dimensional World, continuously sizing up Lin Yuan standing before the Heavenly Gate.

"Originally, I just wanted to watch for another ten thousand years to see what kind of performance this little fellow would have after breaking through thirty-fold world limits," the Half-meter-tall Old Man thought silently to himself.

Just over three hundred years after Lin Yuan descended, he broke through the thirty-fold world limits, leaving the Half-meter-tall Old Man somewhat uncertain.

According to his thoughts, as long as Lin Yuan could continue breaking through the thirty-fold limits within the next ten thousand years, it would be enough.

The higher the world limits reached, the greater the difficulty of breaking them. The first thirty-fold world limits and the subsequent thirty-fold world limits were completely different concepts.

That was why the Half-meter-tall Old Man had specifically left a span of ten thousand years.

"I thought I had overestimated him enough—breaking through sixty-fold world limits in ten thousand and three hundred-plus years. I never expected this little fellow to far exceed my estimation, unexpectedly breaking through ninety-nine-fold world limits in a mere ten thousand years?"

The Half-meter-tall Old Man steadied his mind. In other words, in the ten thousand and three hundred years since Lin Yuan descended, he had broken a total of one hundred and twenty-nine-fold world limits.

"Even for a Twelfth Order Life, who has transcended the shackles of the River of Time and fallen into this Low-Dimensional Space, it should be impossible to continuously break so many world limits in just a little over ten thousand years, right?"

The Half-meter-tall Old Man still found it somewhat hard to believe. Even if Twelfth Order Lives fell into the Low-Dimensional Space, they could still employ a few extraordinary methods to accelerate their own Cultivate.

But even so, wanting to reach Lin Yuan's current degree would probably take one hundred thousand or even one million years.

"Is he really just a life within the River of Time?" The Half-meter-tall Old Man repeatedly confirmed. Lives below the Twelfth Order were also referred to as lives within the River of Time, meaning they needed to be bound by the River of Time.

Even within the Chaos Void, lives within the River of Time and lives outside the River of Time were fundamentally different; the latter far surpassed the former in every aspect.

This was determined by the essence of life. What lives within the River of Time saw and felt were restricted by the River of Time, making them extremely limited and narrow.

As for the Twelfth Order Life outside the River of Time, what they could see and feel was incomparably vast and boundless.

"It is truly terrifying." Confirming that Lin Yuan was still deeply trapped within the River of Time, the Half-meter-tall Old Man wore an expression of unusual amazement.

The Cultivate speed displayed by Lin Yuan at this moment was the strongest among all lives within the River of Time since this Two-Dimensional World was created.

Furthermore, he opened up a cliff-like gap with the second place behind him.

Even among the numerous formidable lives outside the River of Time, Lin Yuan's Cultivate speed was astonishingly fast.

"There is no need to continue watching, right."

"Let him in directly."

The Half-meter-tall Old Man glanced at the Heavenly Gate that was rapidly manifesting.

If he continued to watch, the Half-meter-tall Old Man even worried that Lin Yuan would continue breaking more world limits and ultimately shatter the suppression of the Two-Dimensional World to leave.

Although this possibility was close to zero, it was something absolutely impossible to achieve.

But prior to this, the Half-meter-tall Old Man had never imagined that Lin Yuan could break through so many world limits within ten thousand years.

Peak of Tianshan.

Standing before the Heavenly Gate, Lin Yuan looked at the rapidly manifesting Heavenly Gate, feeling a slight stir of excitement in his heart.

Everything he had done during the ten thousand years in the Two-Dimensional World was for the present moment, to push open the Heavenly Gate before him.

Only by pushing open the Heavenly Gate would there be hope of leaving this Two-Dimensional World.

Only by leaving this Two-Dimensional World could he avoid fundamental losses and preserve this Solar Nascent Soul.

Only by leaving this Two-Dimensional World could the numerous rare treasures obtained by Lin Yuan unleash their true value.

The gradual manifestation of the Heavenly Gate also tugged at the minds of the other ten thousand races experts.

Although these ten thousand races experts were all in a competitive relationship with Lin Yuan—especially Eleven-Tier Perfection lives like the Four-Armed Divine King, who lived under the shadow cast by Lin Yuan, and had been so for ten thousand years—

However—

all the ten thousand races experts deeply and sincerely hoped that Lin Yuan could push open the Heavenly Gate.

Only when Lin Yuan pushed open the Heavenly Gate would it mean that the Heavenly Gate could be pushed open, and they too had the possibility of pushing it open.

Furthermore, after Lin Yuan pushed open the Heavenly Gate and left this Two-Dimensional World, the true opportunity for Eleven-Tier Perfection lives like the Four-Armed Divine King would arrive.

If Lin Yuan did not leave, no Experts in this Two-Dimensional World could compete with him.

Originally, the Four-Armed Divine King was quite confident and wanted to properly challenge Lin Yuan this time.

But a single glance from the corner of Lin Yuan's eye beat him back to reality.

"Lord Blood Rain."

On the side of Human Civilization, Xuanyuan Duo and a host of other Human Civilization Eleven-Tier Evolver looked with full anticipation at Lin Yuan standing before the Heavenly Gate.

Over these ten thousand years, they had not even met face to face, but that did not prevent everyone from placing all their hopes on Lin Yuan.

Deep within the Cosmic Starry Sky,

one Supreme Powerhouse after another paid close attention to the 'scroll' spanning across the starry sky in the distance.

"The Heavenly Gate is about to open."

"I hope it can be pushed open this time, right?"

Numerous Supreme Powerhouse communicated quickly. Although there were not many ten thousand races experts alive in the Two-Dimensional World now, they were basically the true elites or even the foundation of major races and major factions.

Rumbling.

Right at this moment,

the Nine Supreme Experts of Human Civilization suddenly erupted with a terrifying aura, wantonly stirring up the spacetime fluctuations of hundreds of thousands of light-years nearby.

"Hmm?"

"Human Civilization? Have they activated their clan-suppressing weapon?"

"The cost of activating a clan-suppressing weapon is not low; what does Human Civilization want to do?"

"What do they want to do? Naturally, it is to protect that 'Blood Rain', right?"

How fast was the thinking speed of each Supreme Powerhouse? They immediately figured out the reason why the Nine Supreme Experts did this.

If Lin Yuan could push open the Heavenly Gate this time, shake off the Two-Dimensional World, and return to the Main Universe, he would inevitably be exposed under the eyes of the numerous Supreme Powerhouse present.

Furthermore, given Lin Yuan's stunning performance within the Two-Dimensional World, there would definitely be Supreme Powerhouse unable to restrain themselves from directly striking to kill him, such as the Empress and Patriarchs of the Zerg Race and Heaven Wing Clan.

Or some other Ultimate Existence; if there was an opportunity, they would certainly take advantage of it to strike as well.

"Hmph, making such a great fuss over a mere life within the River of Time—the Supreme Experts of Human Civilization… Tsk tsk."

"A great fuss? If you had a descendant as extraordinary as that 'Blood Rain', you would probably be even more exaggerated than what Human Civilization is doing now."

Numerous Supreme Powerhouse communicated with one another, yet they held no objection or exclusion towards the actions of the Nine Supreme Experts including Supreme Being Xia Qin, and even actively withdrew a certain distance to display their sincerity.

Firstly, because once Lin Yuan shook off the shackles of the Two-Dimensional World and returned to the Main World, even if the Clone died, no fundamental losses would occur, so the significance of killing him was not very great.

Secondly, they also had clansmen residing in the Two-Dimensional World; after Lin Yuan left the Two-Dimensional World, the other ten thousand races experts inside would likewise push open the Heavenly Gate and leave one after another.

If they attacked Lin Yuan now, when their own clansmen left the Two-Dimensional World, how could the Nine Supreme Experts of Human Civilization let the matter rest?

Rather than destroying a thousand enemies at the cost of eight hundred of one's own, it was better to each take a step back.

Of course, this was only the thought of the vast majority of Ultimate Existences; patriarchs like those of the Heaven Wing Clan did not think this way.

Because the Heaven Wing Clan Experts who had fallen into the Two-Dimensional World were eliminated right from the very beginning, having no possibility of walking out of the Two-Dimensional World.

But relying solely on the patriarchs of the Heaven Wing Clan, they could not shake the Nine Supreme Experts of Human Civilization who had activated their clan-suppressing weapon.

"No suspicion was aroused."

Supreme Being Xia Qin and the other eight Supreme Experts exchanged glances, letting out a slight sigh of relief.

At this moment, the aura of Human Civilization's clan-suppressing weapon still permeated nearly half of the 'scroll'. Even Supreme Powerhouse could not pierce through the clan-suppressing weapon to sense the aura of that human 'Blood Rain' who had broken free from the Two-Dimensional World.

The reason why Supreme Being Xia Qin and the other Supreme Experts did this was only partially guessed by the Ultimate Existences present.

As for the real reason, it was to conceal Lin Yuan's true identity.

If the numerous Ultimate Existences perceived that the human 'Blood Rain' who broke free from the Two-Dimensional World was merely a Tier 10 life,

then presumably every Ultimate Existence present would have the thought of making a move.

What a joke—with the body of a Tier 10 life, he utterly crushed and trampled upon legendary Eleven-Tier Perfection lives like the Four-Armed Divine King.

Even the Nine Supreme Experts of Human Civilization were somewhat startled, believing that if such a Prodigy appeared in other factions, they would likewise make a move to snuff them out.

Fortunately, the numerous Ultimate Existences did not think in that direction at all, simply assuming that the Nine Supreme Experts of Human Civilization were merely protecting that 'Blood Rain'.

In fact, this thought was not wrong either; if Lin Yuan had not actively informed them, the Nine Supreme Experts of Human Civilization would have also regarded that 'Blood Rain' as some legendary life at Eleven-Tier Perfection.

Two-Dimensional World.

Peak of Tianshan Mountain.

Lin Yuan stood quietly in front of the Heavenly Gate, which was gradually transforming from illusory to real.

Very quickly.

The Heavenly Gate completely manifested.

The rich fluctuations of spatial power surged in all directions like ripples.

Standing before the Heavenly Gate, Lin Yuan did not push it immediately; instead, countless memories of the past ten thousand years flashed through his mind.

Ten thousand years of time was definitely the longest period Lin Yuan had experienced since calling himself an Evolver.

Even though only a hundred years had passed in the Main Universe, the ten thousand years in the Two-Dimensional World were still undeniably real.

As long as Lin Yuan recalled slightly, everything that happened in the past ten thousand years emerged before his eyes.

"Even if it still cannot be pushed this time, I will still wait until the next ten thousand years, the next, next ten thousand years."

Before even starting to push the Heavenly Gate, Lin Yuan had already prepared for the worst.

After all, the last time the Heavenly Gate opened, Lin Yuan had tried with all his might, yet he was unable to shake the Heavenly Gate by even a fraction.

Even though his strength had experienced a massive surge now.

But whether he could ultimately push open the Heavenly Gate, Lin Yuan was still unsure in his heart.

"Begin."

Lin Yuan reined in his thoughts and gently pressed both hands on the Heavenly Gate.

The next moment.

The originally tightly shut Heavenly Gate was actually pushed open slowly.

"Hmm?"

Lin Yuan was slightly stunned. He had just placed both hands on the Heavenly Gate without even using his strength, and the Heavenly Gate was pushed open?

Lin Yuan even had a feeling that even if the person standing before the Heavenly Gate at this moment was not him, but an ordinary person, they could likewise easily push open the Heavenly Gate?

"What on earth is going on?"

Lin Yuan's thoughts fluctuated. Ten thousand years ago, he spared no effort to use the Physical Body Divine Ability 'Reinforcement', yet he was unable to shake the Heavenly Gate by even a fraction.

Now, merely placing his hand on it easily pushed it open?

Such a difference between before and after made Lin Yuan unable to help generating a conjecture in his heart.

Whether the Heavenly Gate could be pushed open had nothing to do with one's own strength, but depended on whether the 'Heavenly Gate' was willing to be pushed open?

The 'Heavenly Gate' here was just a general reference, not this specific Heavenly Gate before him; perhaps it was some other existence?

Clatter.

The Heavenly Gate slowly opened.

After falling into a brief silence, the surrounding ten thousand races experts directly exploded into a hubbub.

"The Heavenly Gate, the Heavenly Gate has been pushed open."

"I knew it, the Heavenly Gate can definitely be pushed open. The last time the Heavenly Gate could not be pushed open was just an accident."

The ten thousand races experts conversed excitedly. Even if the Heavenly Gate could be pushed open, the vast majority of them still could not walk into it.

But at least they could take out the strange objects they obtained through the ten thousand races experts who entered the Heavenly Gate.

Even if most of it had to be extracted by this ten thousand races expert during the process, it was at least much better than staying in the Two-Dimensional World.

"The Heavenly Gate!"

Confidence re-emerged in the eyes of the Four-Armed Divine King.

With Lin Yuan around, there was no possibility for him to enter the Heavenly Gate this time, but next time, after Lin Yuan left, throughout the entire Two-Dimensional World, who else could compete with him for the next Heavenly Gate quota?

Before the Heavenly Gate.

Lin Yuan did not step into it at the first moment.

The difference in difficulty of pushing open the Heavenly Gate the two times gave Lin Yuan other thoughts about what was inside the Heavenly Gate.

"It has already been pushed."

After pondering for a moment, Lin Yuan finally glanced back at the extremely excited Human Evolver, lifted his right foot, and stepped inside.

If this Two-Dimensional World was truly dominated by a certain will that could easily change the difficulty of pushing open the Heavenly Gate, then whether Lin Yuan stepped in now or not had no real meaning.

Furthermore, up to now, the Heavenly Gate was Lin Yuan's only hope of leaving; no matter how wary he was, he still had to go in.

Swish.

Lin Yuan stepped into the Heavenly Gate.

Immediately following that, the Heavenly Gate, which had manifested into substance, began to slowly close, turning illusory and dissipating.

The surging fluctuations of spatial power at the peak of Tianshan Mountain quickly subsided, as if they had never appeared at all.

Cosmic Starry Sky.

Just at the moment Lin Yuan pushed open the Heavenly Gate.

Supreme Being Xia Qin and the other Nine Supreme Experts of Human Civilization stood on strict alert, urging their town-clan weapon. The moment Lin Yuan appeared, he would be enshrouded by the might of the town-clan weapon.

Other Ultimate Existences were completely unable to penetrate the town-clan weapon to sense Lin Yuan's specific aura.

In this way, the greatest secret regarding Blood Rain was also preserved.

Accompanied by the pervading auras of the Nine Supreme Experts of Human Civilization, the other Ultimate Existences were also extremely cooperative, actively withdrawing their perception and solely focusing on the 'white paper' itself.

Time passed.

Supreme Being Xia Qin and the other nine Human Civilization Supreme Powerhouses instantly felt that something was amiss.

Because until the Heavenly Gate closed again and dissipated into illusion, they had not detected the slightest spatial fluctuation outside the scroll, let alone discovered Lin Yuan's trace.

"What is going on?"

"Where is that 'Blood Rain'?"

"Didn't he enter the Heavenly Gate? Why hasn't he appeared yet?"

Not only could the Nine Supreme Experts of Human Civilization not figure it out, but the other Ultimate Existences present also noticed something was wrong.

"The spatial fluctuations stirred up by the Heavenly Gate manifested by the Two-Dimensional World within the white paper, are they not spatial channels teleporting to the outside world?"

"If not teleported to the outside world, where else can it teleport to?"

The numerous Supreme Powerhouses furrowed their brows tightly. Whether Lin Yuan could successfully leave the Two-Dimensional World was not just a matter for Human Civilization.

It was even a matter for the many ten thousand races experts who had not yet left within the Two-Dimensional World.

Lin Yuan entered the Heavenly Gate but did not return to the Main Universe. Doesn't this mean that when the Heavenly Gate opened later, after other ten thousand races experts pushed open the Heavenly Gate, they still wouldn't be able to return to the Main Universe?

"Xia Qin, after that 'Blood Rain' entered the Heavenly Gate, where is he now?"

"That's right, Xia Qin, without breaking free from the shackles of the Two-Dimensional World, where exactly does that Heavenly Gate lead to?"

Some Ultimate Existence looked toward Supreme Being Xia Qin and immediately asked.

Blood Rain came from Human Civilization, and Supreme Being Xia Qin would definitely be able to contact the other party's true body.

Thereby determining the latest movements of Blood Rain, who had now entered the Heavenly Gate.

And this point was something many Ultimate Existences present were very eager to know.

"What's the rush?"

Supreme Being Xia Qin frowned tightly, glanced at the other Ultimate Existences, and did not contact Lin Yuan at the first moment.

Although he wasn't clear where it was inside the Heavenly Gate,

Supreme Being Xia Qin deduced that it must be a crucial place.

Lin Yuan needed to gather his own energy to cope with it.

Contacting and disturbing Lin Yuan now was not a good thing.

Supreme Being Xia Qin believed that as long as Lin Yuan recovered, he would take the initiative to find him.

After Lin Yuan stepped into the Heavenly Gate, he only felt his mental will rapidly sublimate, regaining spatial dimensional support and rising from two-dimensional to three-dimensional.

At the same time, Lin Yuan also felt more clearly that he was breaking away from a certain world. That was a boundless giant painting containing a vast and boundless world, and he was rapidly breaking away from this giant painting at this moment.

"Is that the Two-Dimensional World I fell into?" Lin Yuan immediately realized that the giant painting was the Two-Dimensional World that had trapped him for over ten thousand years.

"The feeling of dimension-rising… the feeling of dimension-falling." Lin Yuan's feelings were extremely marvelous. When he was sucked into the scroll, he didn't even have time to experience what dimension-falling was all about.

But now, breaking free from the giant painting and regaining the complete experience of becoming a normal life was quite clear in his mind.

"Hmm?"

Lin Yuan felt carefully for a moment, and suddenly his expression changed slightly.

Because he discovered at this moment that although he had escaped the Two-Dimensional World, he had not returned to the Main Universe.

"Where is this?"

Lin Yuan glanced around. This was a vast space, and further away were endless gray, hazy gases, with only that huge scroll being the most eye-catching.

At this moment, Lin Yuan also discovered the old man sitting solemnly in front of the huge scroll. Compared to the scroll, this old man was extremely 'insignificant', only half a meter tall, which was also the reason Lin Yuan subconsciously ignored him.

And just as Lin Yuan was observing that Half-meter-tall Old Man, this Half-meter-tall Old Man was also repeatedly sizing up Lin Yuan with a certain strange gaze.
