252: A fruitful harvest

The Bug Mother Solya and the Yisha God Race's Ado.

These two Middle Gods had already been blinded by the opportunity.

They instinctively believed that by eliminating their opponent, they could break through to Upper God.

This instinct was indeed not wrong; the problem was that they didn't delve deeper into this instinct, nor did they question whether the opportunity was a trap. They simply assumed that eliminating their opponent would lead to a breakthrough to Upper God, and the reason for this must be that divine light opportunity.

In this, Mirror Lin Chen also played a part, expending a large amount of Causality Power to blind the two, and combined with the inherent characteristics of the opportunity, he pushed them into the abyss of war.

As time passed, the battle range of the warring parties grew larger and larger, and the originally golden, vast divine light became stained with streaks of blood.

The first Lower God belonging to the Anto Star Region fell.

The Bug Mother who killed him had his aura expand, rising from the initial stage of a Lower God to the middle stage of a Lower God, saving ten thousand years of cultivation time, and this improvement happened in real-time.

At this point, the blood color in the divine light grew even denser, and its blinding influence on living beings became even more profound.

"Kill!"

"Cain has already obtained the opportunity; we cannot fall behind."

The transformation of the Lower God Bug Mother Cain naturally attracted the attention of all the battling gods. As long as they killed their opponent, even a god could gain benefits, which pushed the god war further into a life-or-death struggle.

Dozens of Lower Gods from both sides went mad, hoping to eliminate their opponents and gain great benefits.

"Tsk, it's still a relatively evil opportunity."

Mirror Lin Chen watched all of this calmly, having long anticipated it.

Before laying out his plan, he had thoroughly understood what this so-called opportunity truly was. If he couldn't control it, he certainly wouldn't have used it for his scheme.

The essence of the opportunity was a fighting main god's casual insights, which, after countless ages of gestation, formed the Source of Battle.

Anyone who approached the Source of Battle would have their fighting spirit ignited, involuntarily entering battle mode. As long as they fought, they would attract the attention of the Source of Battle.

The more spectacular the battle, the more desperate the fight, the more it would attract the attention of the Source of Battle, which would then bestow blessings.

During this period, the Source of Battle could acquire everything from the defeated, only needing to give a portion as a reward to the victor. It was a completely profitable business.

Because the warring parties were doubly blinded, they subconsciously ignored the importance of their enemies' corpses, focusing only on battle. That is why the Source of Battle appeared bloody, slowly restoring its true fighting essence.

The timing Mirror Lin Chen was waiting for was the moment the Source of Battle matured.

Only a matured Source of Battle could enable a Middle God to break through to Upper God, shattering the realm barrier and giving rise to a special Battle Divine Kingdom.

As the intensity of this war increased, its end was not far off.

The first Lower God's demise seemed to trigger a chain reaction; one Lower God after another fell. Both the Bug Race and the Yisha God Race suffered losses, yet both sides remained evenly matched.

And the strengthened Lower Gods expanded their battle range, already affecting the outer battlefield, where the residual shockwaves of their clashes annihilated countless living beings.

But both sides, driven mad by killing, paid no heed.

"The Source of Battle should be almost mature."

A year and a half passed. Within ten million light-years centered on the Source of Battle, over ninety percent of the space-faring beings in the Anto Star Region had gathered.

The gathered beings involuntarily plunged into frenzied combat.

Initially, they could still distinguish their own factions.

Now, their hearts held only battle; any living being was their target, and they fought relentlessly to the death.

In the core divine battleground, only four gods remained, fighting each other.

Dozens of Lower Gods fighting had bred two Middle Gods, one from the Bug Race and one from the Yisha God Race.

And they were deeply influenced by the Source of Battle, no longer able to distinguish their allegiances. Their eyes held only battle, only opportunity, only the desire to kill the other three, to enjoy the opportunity as the victor.

Mirror Lin Chen knew it was his time to appear and conclude this farce he had orchestrated.

The lives of four Middle Gods, he thought, should be enough to nurture a mature Source of Battle.

"Mirror Kill."

Mirror Lin Chen, acting with full power, unleashed his Mirror Dao. With his Mirror Dao comprehension nearing one hundred percent, he only needed to infuse some divine power to easily slay a Middle God in their normal state.

The four heavily injured Middle Gods were instantly killed by Mirror Lin Chen, without any power to resist.

Mirror Lin Chen had been biding his time for so long precisely to instantly kill his enemies, not to engage in a life-or-death struggle with them.

Even if they were in their prime, it would still be an instant kill situation. Do you understand the value of a Dao comprehension nearing one hundred percent?

The Source of Battle also exerted its power, completely absorbing the four fallen Middle Gods, and finally matured.

The matured Source of Battle attempted to escape, seeking a more suitable host, clearly not deeming Mirror Lin Chen, who was unstained by battle intent, worthy.

"Heh, after waiting so long, you think I'd let you escape?"

Mirror Lin Chen summoned the heavenly calculation compass, directly imprisoning the Source of Battle, collecting it into the compass, and sending it back to his main body.

With a Dao-infused treasure unleashed, how could a mere Source of Battle resist? It was obediently suppressed.

Although the Source of Battle was suppressed, its lingering traces of battle-blood light still influenced the battlefield. The warring Bug Race and Yisha God Race continued to fight, though they could no longer gain any further improvements.

"After so much infighting, it's time for you to rest."

"If you keep killing like this, it's better to transform into Soul Blood to aid the ascension of my Human Race's bloodline."

Mirror Lin Chen acted, flipping the entire battlefield, along with the surrounding starry sky, into a mirror.

In the mirror, everything on the battlefield was frozen into a picture, vividly preserved within it.

They were not dead, but Mirror Lin Chen mercifully granted them death, and the grace of transforming into Soul Blood after death.

"I'm becoming more and more like a villain."

"I am a Heavenly Demon, so it's fine."

Mirror Lin Chen shattered the mirror, and the countless beings sealed within were instantly refined into Soul Blood.

"One quadrillion units of Soul Blood, not bad. It can allow one quadrillion ordinary people of my race to ascend their bloodline. You all have immeasurable merit."

Mirror Lin Chen briefly sensed the quantity of Soul Blood, a smile appearing on his face. The Human Race's bloodline ascension plan, it seemed, could now advance a bit further.

One quadrillion is still a very small proportion compared to 920 quadrillion, but it doesn't matter. Not only is Mirror Lin Chen working hard, but others are also striving, and the corresponding amount of Soul Blood will eventually be gathered.

After cleaning up the battlefield, Mirror Lin Chen immediately plunged into the void, fleeing through it.

Having committed such a wicked deed, he dared not remain in place, lest he be caught, especially after using brutal methods to wipe out all living beings in a star region, and incidentally killing two Middle Gods and dozens of Lower Gods from the Bug Race and Yisha God Race.

This loss was not insignificant to the two races, and they would certainly investigate the culprit. To not only snatch food from their mouths but also kill those they sent to snatch food, this was a complete disregard for them, and utterly intolerable.

The subsequent actions of the two races could no longer affect Mirror Lin Chen, who was traversing the void. In the short term, Mirror Lin Chen had no intention of returning to the western part of the universe.

Therefore, the pursuit by the two races could only result in finding scapegoats, having no negative impact on Mirror Lin Chen, the true culprit. Instead, it aided his Karma Dao cultivation.

At the same time, in the Ancestral Court Great World.

Lin Chen's main body, who had been in seclusion for a year and a half, finally emerged.

During this seclusion, his Karma Dao comprehension reached 89%, and it would only take a few more years to reach completion.

He was now 77 years old, with 3 years remaining until his talent would take effect.

Even if he made no further progress during this time, his Karma Dao progress would still reach 97.9% by then.

This spontaneous seclusion, inspired by his insights, directly saved him over a decade of cultivation. And the Source of Battle and one quadrillion units of Soul Blood sent by Mirror Lin Chen via the heavenly calculation compass were also a not-insignificant harvest.

At this moment, the Foundation Level avatars, who had waited for a year and a half, immediately greeted Lin Chen with concern, their intentions quite clear.

Lin Chen was helpless. This time, the commotion was quite large, and it was impossible to conceal, so he could only speak frankly with the Foundation Level powerhouses.
