Chapter 508: Everything Is Ready

On the Gu Ming Chaos Continent, Ming Chuan City was one of the nine major cities.

Lin Yuan sat cross-legged inside an "inn room". To call it an "inn room" would be an understatement; it was more like an entire Realm—boundless and seemingly endless.

The "inns" on the Gu Ming Chaos Continent meant safety and freedom from disturbance.

Therefore, the rental price was extremely high.

Lin Yuan had paid ten chaos stones to secure a ten-year residency right for this "room".

Compared to the Chaos Void, ten years were incomparably brief.

Many ancient Twelve-Order Lifeforms would take a nap that lasted far longer than ten years.

However, given the time dilation between the Chaos Void and the Universe, ten years in the Chaos Void were equivalent to three thousand years in the Universe.

By the time the lease expired, if everything went smoothly, Lin Yuan estimated he would have long since stepped into the Twelfth Order. By then, he could continuously send Incarnations over.

Whether it was changing inns or exploring other regions,

everything was entirely up to Lin Yuan's choice.

"Chaos Void."

Lin Yuan carefully perceived the vast rules and Dao operating within the Chaos Void.

Compared to the rules and Dao within the Universe, those of the Chaos Void were far more profound and lofty.

The reason Lin Yuan had this Incarnation settle on the Gu Ming Chaos Continent was primarily to thoroughly comprehend the operation of the rules and Dao in the Chaos Void.

"Wonderful."

Lin Yuan could not help but immerse himself in it.

Even if it was just an Incarnation, as long as it contained Lin Yuan's mental will, it simultaneously possessed Heaven-Defying Comprehension. At this moment, accompanied by his continuous comprehension, flashes of insight quickly collided within Lin Yuan's mind.

[Your Comprehension Ability is Heaven-Defying; perceiving the vast rules, your comprehension of the rules improves.]

Lin Yuan's vision kept rising, vaguely arriving at another dimension where a mighty, rushing river flowed.

"This is… the River of Time of the Chaos Void?"

Lin Yuan immediately reacted.

A River of Time existed within the Universe, which was the destination of all lifeforms beneath the Twelfth Order. Naturally, a River of Time also existed within the Chaos Void.

Although many Twelve-Order lifeforms existed in the Chaos Void, lifeforms below the Twelfth Order were far more numerous.

"How magnificent."

Lin Yuan could not help but sigh with emotion in his heart. Compared to the River of Time in the Universe, the River of Time in the Chaos Void was countless times more vast.

If the River of Time of the Chaos Void was likened to the main channel, then the Rivers of Time of various Universes were tributaries branching off from the main channel.

The River of Time of the entire Chaos Void resembled the veins of a green leaf.

The main channel rushed forward magnificently, equivalent to the main vein of the leaf's network, while the countless tiny branches splitting off from the main vein flowed through one Universe after another.

"Space-Time."

Lin Yuan continuously observed the main vein of the River of Time. Any random splash stirred up here contained the quintessential imprints of countless Eleven-Tier lifeforms.

"I wonder what it would be like if I were situated in the main vein of the River of Time."

Lin Yuan's thoughts drifted. Given his current life essence, the tributary of the River of Time was almost unable to contain him anymore.

Only by curling up his body as much as possible could he avoid being exposed above the River of Time.

But the main vein of the River of Time? This was the time source of the entire Chaos Void, capable of easily accommodating those wonder lifeforms far exceeding Eleven-Tier Perfection.

The Chaos Void was vast and boundless. Although there still existed no monstrous Prodigy of Eleven-Tier who comprehended Chaos Rules, the Eleven-Tier upper limit here far exceeded that within the Universe.

The Personal Disciple of a Chaos Venerable? The direct descendants of a Chaotic Great Saint? As well as those wonder lifeforms nurtured directly by the Chaos Void whose life levels rivaled Universes?

Too many legends and incredibilities existed within the Chaos Void.

At the center of the Gu Ming Continent, that sharp black mountain shook slightly.

This black mountain was actually the single horn of a Chaos Dragon Beast. This Chaos Dragon Beast had a combat power nearly comparable to the Chaos Realm and had submitted to Venerable Gu Ming in its early years, with its true body slumbering deep within the Chaos Continent.

"What is going on?"

"Why do I faintly sense a crisis?"

The Chaos Dragon Beast opened its azure eyes, revealing a hint of confusion.

As a lifeform directly nurtured by the Chaos Void, the Chaos Dragon Beast could be considered half a wonder lifeform, with a meager time Bloodline flowing within its body.

All Twelfth Order lifeforms, whether in the Dao Realm, Sovereign Realm, or Chaos Realm, took transforming into a Perfect Time Life as their Ultimate goal.

Of course, a Perfect Time Life was too far away. For those Peak Perfection Chaotic Great Saints, they first needed to transform into a Time Lifeform, which meant stepping into the Thirteenth Order.

A Thirteen Step Time Life, although unable to control the past, present, and future like a Perfect Time Life, nor easily perceive numerous timelines or jump out of them,

already possessed some characteristics of a Perfect Time Life, being able to use oneself as an anchor point to observe the future.

The future was uncertain, with countless timelines existing. A Thirteen Step Time Life had the ability to observe parts of timelines in advance and see various futures related to itself.

The Chaos Dragon Beast was only close to matching the Chaos Realm in combat power; in reality, its Realm was still at the Peak Sovereign Realm.

It was simply by virtue of the meager time Bloodline within its body that it possessed a "premonition" instinct.

This "premonition" instinct fell far short of a Thirteen Step Time Life observing timelines related to itself.

It could only detect a crisis. As for what kind of crisis it was, when it would happen, and where it came from,

it could not know.

Even so,

this ability was extremely monstrous.

It had helped Venerable Gu Ming avoid a lot of trouble.

"No, I must quickly go tell Gu Ming." The Chaos Dragon Beast pondered for a moment, and its body immediately began to shrink, turning to a size of ten meters.

Then, with a whoosh, it headed deeper into the Chaos Continent.

In the deepest part of the underground.

A tall and robust figure sat there, his entire body wreathed and intertwined with Chaos Qi. Between breaths, a massive amount of Chaos Qi was exhaled and inhaled. Although this figure was only over twenty meters tall, he seemed to contain an entire Universe.

"Gu Ming, Gu Ming." At this moment, the Chaos Dragon Beast rushed here and called out repeatedly.

"Hmm?"

Before long, the tall and robust figure, Venerable Gu Ming, opened his eyes and looked at his partner in puzzlement.

Although the outside world believed that the Chaos Dragon Beast had submitted to Venerable Gu Ming, in reality, the two were of equal status and not in a master-servant relationship.

"I felt a crisis, a huge crisis."

The Chaos Dragon Beast immediately spoke of the crisis it had "foreseen".

"A crisis?"

Venerable Gu Ming was slightly startled in his heart.

Normally, crises sensed by the Chaos Dragon Beast would occur within one hundred thousand years.

But during these one hundred thousand years, he had no intention of leaving the Chaos Continent, nor did he intend to let the Chaos Dragon Beast leave.

In other words, both of them would stay on the Chaos Continent within the next one hundred thousand years. Under such circumstances, they would still encounter a crisis?

The Chaos Continent was created by Venerable Gu Ming, equivalent to his dojo lair. Hiding here, even several Chaos Venerables of the same tier could do nothing about it, let alone the fact that Venerable Gu Ming's strength was already very strong, coupled with a Chaos Dragon Beast nearly comparable to the Chaos Realm?

And they could still encounter a crisis?

Venerable Gu Ming's thoughts spun rapidly.

He trusted his partner very much and did not think there was anything wrong with the "premonition" ability.

In the boundless Chaos Void, crises capable of threatening a Chaos Venerable were already few and far between, let alone a Chaos Venerable hiding in his own lair.

"Do not be anxious about this matter."

"At least there is still buffer time."

Venerable Gu Ming fell into deep thought.

The "crisis" foreseen by the Chaos Dragon Beast would mostly occur within the range of ten thousand to one hundred thousand years.

As for within ten thousand years? A thousand years, a hundred years, ten years? Very, very rarely.

If the crisis really descended this fast, there would be no point in them preparing.

"What level of crisis?"

Venerable Gu Ming asked again.

This question was crucial. If it was a life-or-death crisis, then he, Gu Ming, without saying another word, would immediately pack up all his belongings and run away.

As for the Chaos Continent? And the numerous life Experts on the Chaos Continent?

Before his own life was involved, Venerable Gu Ming could not care about that much anymore.

"It is not a life-or-death crisis, but I feel that there is at least a possibility of me being severely injured," the Chaos Dragon Beast hesitated for a moment and said in a low voice.

"Not a life-or-death crisis?"

Venerable Gu Ming steadied his mind. As long as it wasn't a life-or-death crisis, it would be fine.

If it wasn't an absolute last resort, he was still unwilling to abandon everything and flee.

This Chaos Continent had cost him a lot of effort, and countless lifeforms from the surrounding vast Chaos Void used this place as a trading post. The massive profits generated every day made Venerable Gu Ming somewhat reluctant to part with it.

"I will contact my friends right now to see if any major events have occurred in this Chaos Void region." Venerable Gu Ming immediately began contacting his friends.

Able to become friends with him, Venerable Gu Ming, they were all at the Chaos Venerable level and possessed extremely sharp grasps of intelligence and news.

Moreover, the birth of a crisis rarely appeared out of thin air; it would possess certain omens.

As long as one grasped enough intelligence, they could fully deduce the source of the crisis and how to face it.

Virtual World.

Lin Yuan's figure appeared.

"Xiaoyuan." His parents had been waiting for a long time, and his younger sister Lin Yi was also sitting obediently there. The moment she saw Lin Yuan, she could not help but stand up.

"Are those news reports true?" His mother Lu Qiong asked in a low voice.

The matter of the Galaxy Star Master suppressing the Heaven Feather Race Progenitor had long been spreading wildly across the territory of Human Civilization.

At first, Lu Qiong and Lin Shoucheng thought it was a rumor. Their son was indeed very outstanding, but to suppress the Heaven Feather Race Progenitor—an existence comparable to a Supreme Powerhouse?

It was undoubtedly a pipe dream.

But the more the news spread, the more real it seemed, and the Virtual World network did not refute this matter.

Coupled with Lin Yi obtaining much more precise intelligence from the Xia Family, it made the couple Lin Shoucheng and Lu Qiong realize that these news reports might actually be true.

"Brother, did you suppress the Heaven Feather Race Progenitor?"

Younger sister Lin Yi could not help but say from the side.

Because of this matter, the current Xia Family Clan Chief directly abdicated, and now the Clan Chief of the Xia Family was none other than her husband.

"It cannot be considered suppression," Lin Yuan said, shaking his head.

If the factors of the River of Time were set aside, Lin Yuan actually could do nothing to the Heaven Feather Race Progenitor.

Even if all trump cards were played, and means such as the Divine Ability "World" and "Tear of the Heavens" were urged, it would only give the Heaven Feather Race Progenitor a headache.

Under the gap in the comprehension of the Space-Time Fusion Rule, the opponent simply could not lock onto Lin Yuan's position and could only passively take the beating.

In Lin Yuan's view, so-called suppression meant all-around crushing; even without borrowing the comprehension of the Space-Time Fusion Rule, being able to beat the Heaven Feather Race Progenitor while suppressing them—that was true suppression.

"Cannot be considered suppression…" Lin Yi's eyelids twitched violently.

That meant he had indeed fought to the death with a Supreme Powerhouse of the Heaven Wing Clan?

Beneath the deep starry sky.

Dozens of towering figures gathered here.

If a hundred years ago, the encirclement and assassination targeting the Galaxy Star Master only had one Twelfth Order participant from each major Peak Group force,

then at this moment, within the Cosmic Starry Sky, apart from the nine Supreme Powerhouses of Human Civilization, the vast majority of Twelve-Order Ultimates had all appeared here.

A hundred years ago, in the eyes of the many Twelve-Order Ultimates, the Galaxy Star Master was merely a thorny little fellow.

But now, he had unexpectedly become an existence equal to them, and unlike many Twelfth Order beings, the Galaxy Star Master still possessed immense upward potential.

He only needed to charge towards the Ultimate Realm to once again achieve a massive transformation and elevation in power.

"What should we do now?"

"How to curb the Galaxy Star Master?"

A Twelve-Order Ultimate spoke. At this moment, they no longer had the slightest intention of strangling the Galaxy Star Master, because he could not be strangled.

"Myriad Transformations has already gone to contact those two Ultimates of the Calamity Clan."

"If we can persuade them, we still have a possibility of contending against the Galaxy Star Master."

The Prison Clan Ultimate slowly said.

The two Ultimates of the Calamity Clan were both at the Pilgrimage Realm Peak. If they were willing to move against Human Civilization and deal with the Galaxy Star Master, things might not be as bad as imagined.

Even if the Galaxy Star Master possessed the strength of the Pilgrimage Realm Peak in a short period of time after stepping into the Twelfth Order, facing the two Pilgrimage Realm Peak Experts of the Calamity Clan—even if these two Pilgrimage Realm Peak Experts could not normally make a move—

at least he would harbor misgivings in his heart.

Coupled with their dozens of Twelve-Order Ultimates, theoretically speaking, Human Civilization would still have enemies in the future and could not become the sole dominant entity.

Of course,

no matter what, it was already inevitable for Human Civilization to become the strongest power in the Universe, surpassing the Cosmos Clan and Calamity Clan of back then. The major Peak Groups that used to fight to the death with Human Civilization could only huddle together to continue stalemating with Human Civilization.

"Right, there are also the Ultimates of the Calamity Clan."

The spirits of the many Twelve-Order Ultimates present slightly shook.

As one of the twelve Peak group forces in the Universe, the Calamity Clan presumably would not allow Human Civilization to expand wantonly; otherwise, it would also affect the Calamity Clan's own development.

Although the Ultimates of the Calamity Clan had previously voluntarily withdrawn from the encirclement and assassination targeting the Galaxy Star Master, in the eyes of many Twelve-Order Ultimates, this should be because the Calamity Clan disdained dealing with a Tier 11 life.

But the situation was different now. If the Calamity Clan still made no moves, they would likewise be suppressed by Human Civilization in the future.

To a certain extent, at this moment, the Peak group forces such as the Heaven Wing Clan, the Zerg, and the Calamity Clan stood on the same front, jointly contending against the subsequent expansion of Human Civilization.

Just while the many Twelve-Order Ultimates were waiting,

the figure of the Myriad Transformation Mother Empress condensed, evidently having hurried back from the Calamity Clan.

"Myriad Transformations, how is it? What did those two Ultimates of the Calamity Clan say?"

"That's right, if there are any conditions, you can bring them up directly, and we will satisfy them as much as possible."

One Twelve-Order Ultimate after another immediately asked.

"Myriad Transformations, how did the talks go?" The Prison Clan Ultimate also inquired.

Looking at the expectant gazes of the many Twelve-Order Ultimates, the Myriad Transformation Mother Empress unexpectedly fell into silence for a moment.
