264: History of the Development of Xuanguang Universe

"Old Man Anpingshan, we've recovered 3,688 enlightenment stele fragments this time, accounting for 29% of the entire enlightenment stele's volume. Are you sure you don't want to integrate the remaining stele, which makes up 51%?"

"There's no need. The current remaining stele is sufficient. Furthermore, if the remaining stele isn't repaired to 90%, it can't recover its spirituality, and I won't be able to fully control it. It's better to maintain the status quo and take it slowly; there's no rush."

"Alright, then continue your cultivation."

"Okay, my Mirror Lin Chen should have an opportunity in the Xuan Guang Universe. Old Man Anpingshan, please pay more attention to it."

"I would pay attention even if you didn't say so. We are all very concerned about that Mirror Lin Chen you rescued."

"Reliable."

After chatting with Old Man Anpingshan, Lin Chen continued his secluded cultivation. His life was this simple and unadorned: either in secluded cultivation or monitoring his Mirror Lin Chen's situation and providing some guidance.

Currently, he has only condensed two wisps of Dao Source Power, reaching only 2% of the one hundred wisps of Dao Source Power needed to break through to Foundation Level. He still needs to work harder.

However, there is good news: his cultivation is about to break through to the Middle God rank. With a large amount of resources piled up, the strengthening speed of his Causal Divine Body has greatly increased, barely keeping pace with his divine power, divine soul, and rule cultivation speed.

Normally, Lin Chen would only need five years to break through to Middle God cultivation, but he is now 87 and a half years old, and in two and a half years, his talent will take effect again.

At 90 years old, when his talent takes effect, his cultivation will inevitably break through, reaching the Middle God level in one go. Other aspects of his enhancement will also further improve his cultivation speed.

A Middle God at 90 years old—this achievement has only been reached by fewer than twenty people in the history of the Human Race, even with its abundance of talent, which shows how difficult the path of cultivation is.

At the same time, Mirror Lin Chen also returned to the Federal Territory via a teleportation array in an external Human Race enclave. In just a few days, he would reach the Universe Gate leading to the Xuan Guang Universe.

The Xuan Guang Universe, a universe fragment discovered by the Human Race three thousand years ago, was finally connected to through various means, and a Universe Gate linking the two universes was built.

When the Xuan Guang Universe was first discovered, the special rift connecting the two universes could only allow First Order beings to pass through, and only items not exceeding First Order energy levels, with the passage taking a hundred years.

Initially, the Human Race did not send in True Immortals. Instead, every ten years, they would throw a batch of restricted First Order mechanical bodies into the universe rift.

Each batch of mechanical bodies numbered one hundred million, and a total of ten batches were deployed.

First Order mechanical bodies possessed the knowledge to deploy upon landing and rapidly develop to Tenth Order within a short period. Their cores were also inscribed with absolute loyalty commands to the Federal Human Race, to facilitate the arrival of the Human Race later and allow them to directly take over the advanced bases built by the mechanical bodies.

After the mechanical bodies were deployed, in the 110th year, the first batch of one million Human Race prodigies, whose cultivation was temporarily locked at First Order, formed a dormant fleet. They passed through the universe rift, embarking on a small path to explore the unknown universe.

From then until the 410th year, the Federal Human Race did not continue to invest forces into the universe rift, but waited for information sent back from the other side of the rift.

In the 410th year, some information belonging to the Xuan Guang Universe and the development status of the first batch of pioneering prodigies provided intelligence support for the Federal Human Race's subsequent investment of forces.

After two hundred years of development by the initial ten batches of mechanical bodies and one hundred years by the first batch of Human Race prodigies, the vanguard team finally established a foothold on the massive planet on the other side of the rift, Hurricane Star, which was home to numerous Ascension to God races, in the 310th year.

The information transmitted back by the vanguard team was not received by the Federation until a hundred years later, in the 410th year of the rift's discovery. Only then could the Federation deploy the second batch of Human Race prodigies and provide various Human Race resources to develop the Xuanguang Base, based on the specific situation.

The distance between the strengths of the two universes was simply too vast, and the fragile universe rift had limited energy levels that could pass through, with a very long transit time.

Information exchange spanning a hundred years was like a dream of ancient times for the Federal Human Race, accustomed to instant communication, and somewhat unaccustomed to it.

Moreover, until the Human Race established a firm foothold in the Xuan Guang Universe and secured a territory large enough for human luck to sense, human luck could not reinforce the universe passage. It could only ensure the universe rift did not collapse and remained in existence.

In the 1000th year of the rift's discovery, Hurricane Star was completely occupied by the Federal Human Race vanguard team. The former dominant races on the planet were all slaughtered by the Human Race prodigies who had embarked on the Ascension to God path, and the Human Race became the new overlords of Hurricane Star.

The first batch of one million Human Race prodigies, after 790 years on Hurricane Star, could fully cultivate from First Order to the Fifth or Sixth Order Gods level.

(Due to the change in universes, the thirty-year-old transcendent curse on this batch of Human Race was broken, and the new universe's transcendent curse had not yet descended.)

Human Race prodigies are inherently synonymous with powerful combat strength. Even if they are only Fifth or Sixth Order Gods, it is an easy matter to fight above their rank against the Ninth Order Gods of a native planet, the leaders of races with no hope of becoming gods.

When the vanguard team occupied Hurricane Star, the Human Fire was raised high, and human luck surged, the human luck in This Universe could finally sense the human luck on Hurricane Star.

The human luck of both sides was originally one entity. Now, the human luck galaxy located in the Human Race Territory could establish a profound connection with the human luck on Hurricane Star through the universe passage.

With this direct connection, human luck, with a slight intervention, reinforced and expanded the universe passage created by the universe rift by thousands of times.

The reinforced and expanded universe passage could accommodate beings and items of up to Tenth Order energy levels, and the transit time between the two universes was shortened to ten years.

The increased energy level of the universe passage and the shortened transit time resulted in Hurricane Star being built into a pure planetary fortress by the Federal Human Race. The galaxy-level star system, with a diameter of a million light-years, where Hurricane Star was located, was also conquered by the Human Race army and transformed into Human Race Territory.

And in the process of the Human Race expanding its territory, the human luck in the Xuan Guang Universe also continuously expanded, and its connection with the human luck galaxy in the Human Race Territory of This Universe became even closer.

In this way, the universe passage was also continuously upgraded by human luck, its transit energy level constantly breaking through, and its transit time continuously shortening.

Another thousand years passed, and the universe passage's transit energy level reached Sixth Order Gods, with the transit time shortened to six months.

The Federal Human Race's support for the Xuan Guang Universe became faster, and resources from the Xuan Guang Universe could also be transported back to This Universe more quickly.

And now, it is the 3021st year since the Xuan Guang Universe was discovered. Universe Gates connecting the two universes have been established, and the Xuan Guang Universe has already been tacitly recognized as part of the Human Race Territory, with human luck connected without any hindrance.

The Universe Gate, which took three hundred years to build, can accommodate up to Middle God passage, with transit time compressed to an extreme of one day.

This transit time is even shorter than the transit time from the Human Race's core starfield to its frontier starfield.

Basically, within a day, the several thousand Middle Gods of the Federal Human Race, carrying a massive Expeditionary Force, can enter the Xuan Guang Universe with lightning speed, sweeping away all resistance in the Xuan Guang Universe.

Currently, the Xuan Guang Universe Gate has been open for over eight years.

The first batch of one thousand Human Race deities and twenty Expeditionary Forces did just that, entering the Xuan Guang Universe with lightning speed, continuously conquering cities and territories, occupying one starfield after another.

In this process, countless soul blood was transported back to the Federal Territory, distributed to the Federal Human Race who needed bloodline refinement according to contribution priority, aiding the Human Race's bloodline ascension.

Similarly, countless resources were plundered and brought back, filling the consumption of the Human Race's thousand-year seclusion and making up for the resource gap after the Human Race's bloodline ascension, ensuring that the Human Race, after bloodline improvement, would not lack resources and be unable to progress.
