197: The evil nature of all beings

Essence Lin Chen looked at the wisp of Dao Fall Power that suddenly appeared before him and instantly understood that this was his future self acting to help him open the passage to the Parallel World.

That wisp of Dao Fall Power dissolved, forcefully carving out a gateway in the current space. Behind the gateway was where Essence Lin Chen sensed his fortuitous encounter lay.

At this moment, the Parallel World and the Main Universe established a tangible connection. Lin Chen's power could pass through the gateway formed by the Dao Fall Power, deeply influencing the Parallel World beyond the gate.

"Thank you, future me."

Lin Chen thanked him and, without hesitation, stepped through the gateway, entering the Parallel World.

After Lin Chen entered the Parallel World, the gateway rapidly shrank, turning into an imprint on his left palm. As long as he wished, he could summon the gateway at any time to return to the Main Universe.

The Parallel World beyond the gate was filled with boundless malice.

Lin Chen had only seen this level of malice in the Land of Slumber where the source of malice was located.

Perhaps this was originally a Land of Slumber, just the Land of Slumber of a Parallel World.

"Perhaps I know why my fortuitous encounter is in this Parallel World."

Lin Chen had an epiphany.

The malice he wielded ultimately originated from the source of malice of This Universe.

All malice has a source, and all malice is controlled by the source of malice. All beings who walk the Malice Incarnation path are subordinate dependents of the source of malice.

Currently, the source of malice is only dormant; once it awakens, all beings who control malice will be influenced by it, becoming its dependents and its pawns.

Challenging the source of malice with malice controlled by the source of malice is somewhat unrealistic.

The power of malice Lin Chen currently controls does not belong to him; he only has the right to use it and secondary control authority. The ultimate control authority has always been in the hands of the source of malice.

However, the malice of the Parallel World is not controlled by the source of malice. As long as Lin Chen can absorb the malice in the Parallel World and then return to the Main Universe, he will be the only malice controller besides the source of malice.

"Now, I truly am the Evil of All Living Beings."

Lin Chen did not rush to transform his own malice. Instead, he walked through the boundless malice-filled world, seeking the source of all malice in this world.

Using the malice of the Main Universe to contend for the source of malice of the Parallel World, and then using the source of malice of the Parallel World to contend for the source of malice of the Main Universe.

This was a very reasonable path.

The Parallel World was not large, only about the size of a Blue Star starfield, with a diameter of merely a few hundred light-years. It was filled with endless malice, and apart from malice, no other objects or powers existed.

"Is this such a good place? There is no sentient source of malice; the origin of all malice comes from the first wisp of malice."

After spending three months, Lin Chen traveled throughout the entire Parallel World, his mouth almost splitting open with a smile.

This was simply the most suitable cultivation ground for him.

He only needed to systematically absorb all the malice of the Parallel World to become the source of malice of the Parallel World, becoming an existence of the same rank as the Foundation Level source of malice in the Main Universe.

Lin Chen could hardly believe it.

The Parallel World had no dangers, only pure fortuitous encounters belonging to him.

He had only experienced this kind of thing once, back in high school, with Lin Fan and Oriental Red Sleeve. That time, they truly made a fortune.

Later, he never encountered such good fortune again.

Now, such good fortune had happened again.

Lin Chen did not hesitate at all. He dispersed all his malice, severed his Malice Incarnation path, and returned to his essence as a split personality.

This was equivalent to him reincarnating and cultivating anew, embarking on a true Malice Incarnation path, with a promising future.

The malice Lin Chen dispersed and the malice of the Parallel World were distinct. The malice from the two sources did not merge or transform into each other; they merely stood in opposition, neither able to overcome the other.

Of course, this was in the absence of a source of malice. Once Lin Chen transformed himself into the source of malice of the Parallel World, he could easily obliterate the malice he had previously dispersed and gain ultimate control over that malice.

"Hehe, I'll quietly work hard and amaze everyone."

Lin Chen estimated that if he absorbed all the malice in the Parallel World, he would definitely become an existence at the Upper God level, and a very powerful one at that, capable of directly confronting ordinary Main Gods.

When he returned to the Main Universe then, he wouldn't have to worry about being easily obliterated by the Main Universe's source of malice, or all his actions becoming its wedding dress.

This was the true great fortuitous encounter.

It only took one time to break through the barriers of multiple future realms. He only needed to cultivate systematically, and everything would come naturally.

There was no need to fight desperately to improve his cultivation; he only needed to enjoy peaceful years, relying on the passage of time, and he would control everything in the future.

After determining his goal, Lin Chen began to undergo Malice Incarnation again, re-embarking on the Malice Incarnation path.

This time, he would truly have the qualifications and potential to replace the source of malice of the Main Universe.

The Malice Incarnation process was very smooth. Having previous experience, starting over now would only be easier.

The pure malice belonging to the Parallel World was easier for Lin Chen to digest and absorb. After all, there was no uppermost controller; he himself was the uppermost controller.

Only a month passed.

Lin Chen condensed his own malice crystal, completely mastering the first wisp of malice in the Parallel World.

At this moment, he felt the blessing from the Parallel World. In a world born from malice as its source, the first being to wield malice was born, and this being naturally became the source of malice.

"Evil of All Living Beings, it seems this title will stick with me for life."

The blessing bestowed by heaven and earth was the rank of Evil of All Living Beings.

Previously, Lin Chen was called the Evil of All Living Beings, but it was not truly deserved. He was merely an ordinary Malice Incarnation being, not much different from other Malice Incarnation beings in the Main Universe.

Now he was the true Evil of All Living Beings. He could casually go to any universe or world, and he could rely on his rank to control the malice of the current world, becoming a mobile source of malice pollution.

Although the Parallel World was not large, even the smallest true Parallel World had the same rank as the Main Universe.

Therefore, the rank of Evil of All Living Beings bestowed by the Parallel World could still be effective in the Main Universe. Furthermore, as Lin Chen wielded more malice, the level of his rank would also increase.

However, the Main Universe already had a source of malice, so if Lin Chen wanted to develop, he had to eliminate the source of malice of the Main Universe and become the sole source of malice of the Main Universe.

The Dao struggle truly began at this moment.

Because there was a barrier between the Parallel World and the Main Universe, the source of malice in the Land of Slumber of the Main Universe did not detect that Lin Chen could engage in a Dao struggle with Her. She had no sense of crisis and was still sound asleep.

Perhaps only when Lin Chen left the Parallel World and returned to the Main Universe would the source of malice in the Land of Slumber perceive it and belatedly realize that the Dao struggle had begun.

However, even after leaving the Parallel World, Lin Chen's strength was still insufficient; he was not the source of malice's opponent. He was inherently at a disadvantage in the Dao struggle, so he still had to bide his time. Only after achieving Foundation Level could he truly engage in a Dao struggle with the source of malice.

That would be a long time from now.

At this stage, he only needed to cultivate systematically.

In at most a thousand years, he would achieve his current cultivation goal and could return to the Main Universe.

"Keep it up, the future is promising!"
