180: Reconstructing causal events and tracing back to the source

“Ah… ah…!”

Lin Chi pulled Yue Rushuang closer to the First Generation Earth Elemental Clone. It was clear they were very excited, wanting to touch the First Generation Earth Elemental Clone who had become a Chaotic Kin.

However, at this moment, the First Generation Earth Elemental Clone was already lost. Though not dead, its subjective consciousness had vanished, leaving only instinct to act.

It instinctively attacked everything that approached, which in turn triggered the instincts of Lin Chi and Yue Rushuang, causing them to suffer even stronger attacks from the two.

The memories brought back ended here.

“Phew, let me see what exactly happened back then, and what their situation is now.”

Lin Chen took out the Main God-tier Karma-type treasure gifted by his ancestor.

This treasure was called the two extremes reversal stone. It carried powerful Causality Dao power, which could protect the user from karmic backlash and assist the user in comprehending the Causality Dao.

Holding the two extremes reversal stone, Lin Chen’s consciousness entered the karmic line network. Using his own and his parents’ karmic lines as a base, he traveled to the past to examine the karmic entanglements of his parents over the past twenty-plus years.

The time node was 23 years ago.

Lin Chen, as a non-existent person, entered the karmic event, following his father Lin Chi and mother Yue Rushuang into the newly opened Cave World, experiencing that period of time with them.

Subsequently, as time passed, the Chaotic Evil God cast its gaze upon them. Both parents and all living beings in the entire Cave World were corrupted into Chaotic Kin.

Even the Cave World itself was corrupted, its energy level rapidly soaring. During the Cave World’s corruption and strengthening process, Lin Chi and Yue Rushuang also grew stronger, their energy level ultimately stabilizing at God Ascension Second Level.

The corrupted Cave World’s energy level was Deng Shen Third Order, while Lin Chi and Yue Rushuang, at God Ascension Second Level, were already the two strongest Chaotic Kin in the current world. They were even continuously absorbing chaotic power and growing stronger.

Next, the corrupted Cave World should have been destroyed by the Federation’s gods, and Lin Chi and Yue Rushuang within it would also be annihilated.

It was at this moment that Lin Chen was kicked out of the karmic event re-enactment scene.

Because his karmic connection with his parents abruptly ceased. It wasn't the kind of karmic line endpoint where two individuals perish, but rather the karmic line being severed, and the surrounding karmic line network also showed a very regular karmic void.

The myriad of chaotic karmic lines, upon connecting to this karmic void area, all met a dead end, unable to connect to the next consequence. Many 'causes' of karmic lines also disappeared.

“The karmic connections here are missing. A powerful existence has erased an entire segment of karma. Who did this?”

As a practitioner of the Causality Dao, Lin Chen clearly understood that some existence had acted, starting from a core karmic event, erasing the karma connected to this core karma, and shielding the karmic void area.

If Lin Chen’s consciousness hadn't truly descended, he wouldn’t have been able to discover this karmic void.

He hadn't checked his karmic lines with his parents before, and he hadn't thought much about the severed karmic lines, not considering it a big problem.

Now it seemed that he too had been shielded from karma. Now that he saw the truth, the power shielding karma no longer worked on him.

Lin Chen temporarily put aside the origin of the karmic void. What he needed to know more now was whether the two existences that appeared in the Land of Chaos were his parents.

Lin Chen entered the karmic void area. Based on the karmic lines generated after he made contact with “Lin Chi” and “Yue Rushuang” in the Land of Chaos, he found the corresponding karmic lines among the vast number of severed ones and reconnected the karmic link.

After reconnecting the karmic link, Lin Chen, protected by the two extremes reversal stone, entered the karmic event to view the specific process and direction of the karmic event.

The scene reappeared. Lin Chen saw that before the Cave World was completely destroyed, a Gate of Chaos appeared before Lin Chi and Yue Rushuang. The two, in a daze, walked into the Gate of Chaos, leaving the Cave World that was about to be destroyed.

The other side of the Gate of Chaos was the Land of Chaos, the sleeping place of the Chaotic Evil God.

At this time, the Chaotic Evil God was still in slumber, with only a few ethereal consciousnesses awake, responding to summons and sacrifices from the cosmic starry sky. Its main consciousness had not awakened.

This also aligned with the state of most evil gods; their main consciousness was generally in a dormant state, occasionally waking up to go 'hunting,' but for the most part, they passively influenced the operation of all things in the world, with only illusory thoughts active.

Lin Chi and Yue Rushuang, upon entering the Land of Chaos, did not separate. They were holding hands at the moment of corruption, so after corruption, they also remained together, holding hands, and could already be considered a single entity.

The Land of Chaos was filled with chaotic phenomena, where error and disorder constantly unfolded. In this scene, chaotic power was continuously derived and absorbed by the chaotic kin wandering the Land of Chaos.

Lin Chi and Yue Rushuang became Chaotic Kin passively. At this moment, they had no consciousness of their own; they were the lowest-level Chaotic Kin, their actions controlled by chaotic power.

The two wandered in the Land of Chaos based on instinct. During this time, they were either fighting with other Chaotic Kin or absorbing the chaotic power of the Land of Chaos to heal and grow stronger. They were completely chaotic kin, devoid of human characteristics.

Then, one day, the two stopped wandering. Their human consciousness miraculously revived within their bodies, overpowering their chaotic instincts, allowing them to briefly break free from chaotic control.

This time was exactly when Lin Chen was 6 years old, the moment he awakened his past life memories.

“So that’s how it is. Because of me, they were able to revive, and there was a future encounter, which led to the result of me delving into the karmic line network now.”

At this point, Lin Chen had an epiphany.

The re-enacted karmic scene continued to advance.

Lin Chi and Yue Rushuang, with their human consciousness restored, found their situation unchanged; in fact, because their human consciousness was restored, they fell into even deeper despair.

They clearly knew they were in the sleeping place of the Chaotic Evil God, which was no different from facing an evil god directly. Even their briefly restored human consciousness would quickly be re-immersed by the ubiquitous chaotic power.

“Chi Ge, I miss Chen’er.”

“Rushuang, I miss Chen’er too. He’s still so young. We had this accident, and I don’t know how painful it must be for him to grow up without us.”

Fate seemed to be playing a joke on them; the brief recovery of human consciousness only plunged them into a more desperate situation.

As their human consciousness was continuously immersed by chaotic power, they couldn't maintain their lucidity. Even if they once again became Chaotic Kin with a faint consciousness, they were still Chaotic Kin.

“Chi Ge, we’re still alive, and we still have consciousness. There’s a possibility of leaving, a possibility of seeing Chen’er again!”

“Rushuang, I understand what you mean!”

Lin Chi and Yue Rushuang were of one mind; they didn't give up. They still wanted to leave the Land of Chaos alive and see their child.

And so, the two voluntarily believed in the Chaotic Evil God, actively choosing to accept chaotic power, further corrupting themselves into Chaotic Kin.

The only benefit of voluntarily becoming Chaotic Kin was that they could retain a faint trace of their consciousness and memories.

With returning to the Federation and protecting Lin Chen as their core objective, they entrusted their remaining consciousness and memories to this core objective, forming an obsession.

Using obsession to replace their remaining consciousness could prevent them from completely turning into Chaotic Kin, but they would also truly enter a half-dead state, with only the obsession body ultimately surviving.

The obsession body was only a part of them, not them entirely, but this was the best method they could think of.

“They truly love me. Even when trapped in a desperate situation, they didn’t give up. They even formed an obsession to break through the despair.”

Lin Chen was moved. He was already prepared to rewrite karma.

When he decided to intervene in his parents’ karmic lines, he was prepared to rewrite their karma, rescue them, and not let them suffer such despair again.

The karmic scene continued to advance.

Lin Chi and Yue Rushuang’s consciousness did not last long and was soon immersed by chaotic power. In this process, their obsession replaced their consciousness, gaining partial control over their bodies.

Over the next twenty-plus years, the obsession of the two influenced their bodies, which were controlled by chaotic power, gradually merging with the chaos itself. The obsession was also able to control the chaotic body and use chaotic power.

During this process, they continuously absorbed chaotic power to grow stronger and constantly sought a way to leave the Land of Chaos and return to the cosmic starry sky.

They never gave up.
