179: Facing the Evil God, Revenge of Parents (1000 yuan reward plus more)

Seven days passed in a flash.

The First Generation Wood Element Clone returned from death.

This time, Lin Chen still chose to read memories from a third-person perspective instead of a first-person perspective, simply to prevent memory confusion and maintain a pure, singular soul.

The First Generation Wood Element Clone's experience was quite interesting.

It also entered a spatial rift, yet despite being only one body-length away from the First Generation Fire Element Clone, it perfectly avoided the spatial turbulence and successfully entered a stable spatial passage.

He drifted in the spatial passage for six and a half days before finally returning to the cosmic starry sky through a rift.

The moment he returned to the cosmic starry sky, Spiritual Stealth was immediately applied to him; after all, Lin Chen’s core nature is caution, so it was only natural for the Wood Element Clone to be so cautious.

Taking out the star map, the First Generation Wood Element Clone pinpointed his location, which was neither too close nor too far from the Federal Territory, roughly a billion light-years away, essentially on the edge of the human race's sphere of influence; any further, and it would be the chaotic region.

The so-called human race's sphere of influence is the range that Foundation Level human experts can constantly monitor and intervene in at any time; as long as any Foundation Level fluctuation appears within this range, it will be eliminated by the human race's Foundation Level experts.

Of course, with the strength of a Foundation Level expert, expanding the monitoring range by one or two times is not an issue; the key problem is that it's unnecessary. A distance of over a billion light-years is already enough for the human race to expand for many years, and also sufficient for Foundation Level experts to counteract threats without expending too much effort.

Getting back to the main topic, the place where the First Generation Wood Element Clone landed belonged to the desolate star region, which means it was a star region with relatively few planets and very low life activity. One might travel hundreds or thousands of light-years without encountering a single planet or living being.

Logically, in such an environment, as long as one isn't particularly unlucky, with a Tenth Order cultivation, wandering for decades or even a century would be very safe; at most, the gains would be minimal, and one would be enveloped by loneliness.

Heh, but how could the First Generation Wood Element Clone be in a normal situation? He was that unlucky one.

After only half a day of heading towards the direction of a faint distant star, a God Ascension First Order Star Envoy chasing a God Ascension First Order Abomination happened to tear open space and arrive in the desolate star region.

Subsequently, the First Generation Wood Element Clone died from unknown AoE damage, his entire being turning to ash and collapsing in the starry sky.

And the passing Star Envoy and Abomination were completely unaware.

As Lin Chen finished reading the First Generation Wood Element Clone's memories, the Second Generation Wood Element Clone was also conceived and stood before the five elements stone tablet, checking the information on the Fire Element Clone and Wood Element Clone.

As for the standard for exchanging materials: Tenth Order materials are free; Demigod-level materials are 10 points; Ascension to God First Order to Ninth Order materials are 100 to 900 points, following a normal distribution; God Ascension First Order materials are 5000 points (including reaching the Lower God level).

“Damn it, is this how the main body wants to play? Then I must achieve dazzling results! I want to create an insurmountable peak, waiting for future generations to climb!”

The Second Generation Wood Element Clone, inexplicably, fell into the same state as the Second Generation Fire Element Clone, especially with a clear rule system, which further ignited his competitive spirit.

Life is short, and there is only one life, so of course, he must perform the best operations and become an insurmountable peak in the mouths of future generations.

Upon this, Lin Chen fell into contemplation. The creator of the Five Elements Clone cultivation method must have added something that affects cognition into the method; otherwise, normal clones shouldn't be so fanatical and show no fear of death.

However, this was clearly a good trait; the creator of the cultivation method was truly far-sighted.

Subsequently, the First Generation Metal Element Clone and Water Element Clone also returned on the ninth and tenth days of their departure. Their deaths were relatively normal; one died in a stellar explosion, and the other died from an unknown attack, ultimately scoring only five or six points.

Now, among the first generation, only the Earth Element Clone is still alive.

Lin Chen was also somewhat curious about the Earth Element Clone's experience, as it was the sole survivor among the First Generation Five Elements Clone, and perhaps it would bring something different.

Time flowed slowly, and another five days passed.

The incomplete soul body of the First Generation Earth Elemental Clone returned.

Lin Chen immediately observed his memories, but after watching, his emotions fluctuated, recalling the impressions of his parents that only existed in his childhood memories.

As he awakened his past life memories at the age of six, the impression of his parents grew even fainter, and it was only when he was with his grandparents that he could recall his fallen parents.

He didn't have much emotional attachment to his parents, which made him somewhat resistant to resurrecting them, even if he had the ability to do so.

Resurrecting the three elders, Liǔ Báizhǐ, was different because they were far removed, had never met, and had never lived together. The reason for their resurrection was to make his grandparents happy.

But his parents were clearly different. He wasn't prepared to suddenly have parents. His parents from his previous life hadn't left him with many pleasant impressions, and he naturally felt some repulsion towards their existence.

Moreover, he had been without parents for over twenty years; suddenly having parents would only feel very strange, and there was no emotional bond between them, and he didn't know how to face them.

All of this was Lin Chen's excuse, so even when he received the karma-type treasure from his ancestor, Lin Wufa, he subconsciously ignored its function.

But now, he had to make a choice.

The First Generation Earth Elemental Clone drifted in the spatial passage for half a month before encountering an unremarkable spatial rift.

Through the spatial rift, he entered a world where heaven and earth were in disarray, filled with madness.

The moment he entered the mad world, the First Generation Earth Elemental Clone went insane, and his own being began to become disordered. Although he hadn't died yet, he had already become a "Disorder" Dependents (familial member).

The "Disorder" Evil God, a main god-level Evil God, a conceptual Evil God formed from the condensation of all errors and chaos in the world, is a specific subdivision under the broad concept of malice.

Of course, Lin Chen's father, Lin Chi, and mother, Yue Rushuang, did not have good aptitudes, so they chose to marry at thirty and gave birth to Lin Chen.

The next five years were also peaceful; they would go on adventures to Star Gates and underground caves several times a year to acquire resources, accumulating wealth for the very young Lin Chen and any potential younger siblings he might have in the future, to improve their acquired aptitudes.

Then, when Lin Chen was five years old, Lin Chi and Yue Rushuang entered a newly appeared Fifth Order underground cave for exploration and accidentally stumbled upon a native ritual sacrificing to an Evil God.

Then, the "Disorder" Evil God responded to the sacrifice, casting a wisp of its gaze.

Even just the Evil God's gaze was something that Lin Chi and Yue Rushuang, with their very weak defenses and only Fourth or Fifth Order cultivation at the time, could not withstand.

The two of them immediately degenerated into "Disorder" Dependents (familial member), just like the current state of the First Generation Earth Elemental Clone.

Because of the "Disorder" Evil God's gaze, the underground cave, originally only Fifth Order, instantly surged in energy level, breaking through to God Ascension Third Order strength.

The story that followed was that Lin Chi and Yue Rushuang went missing. Although they were said to be missing, they were actually dead, as the entire underground cave was destroyed, and all living beings within had already become "Disorder" Dependents (familial member), with no possibility of salvation.

However, now, through the First Generation Earth Elemental Clone's memories, Lin Chen saw two "Disorder" Dependents (familial member) holding hands and wandering unconsciously; they gave Lin Chen a very familiar feeling.

That's right, they were Lin Chen's parents.

The karmic thread that had been severed with his parents was reconnected at this moment. It turned out that "Disorder" had dislocated this karma, causing Lin Chen to never investigate this karmic link?

Lin Chi and Yue Rushuang, who had become "Disorder" Dependents (familial member), did not perish with that underground cave; they had clearly arrived at the Land of Disorder, the Divine Kingdom of the Disorder Evil God, the area where he long slumbered.

"Ah... ah... ah..."

"Ah... ah..."

Lin Chi and Yue Rushuang suddenly stopped their wandering steps. They "looked" at the "Disorder" Dependents (familial member) that the First Generation Earth Elemental Clone had transformed into, constantly making "ah ah" sounds, their entire bodies becoming even more disordered and frenzied.

Due to the disorder, they had long been unable to produce normal sounds, let alone express any normal meaning.

Perhaps they recognized Lin Chen, even if it was just Lin Chen's cannon fodder clone.
