314: Qian Yuan Universe

Inside the Tower of Nothingness, the pool of void continued to absorb the Void Power that cascaded down from the top of the tower in an endless stream.

As the Void Power fell into the pool, it rapidly condensed and liquefied, forming colorless and transparent void pool water.

At this moment, Lin Chen began his cultivation, performing the first operation of shattering his void core.

With his true spirit presiding over the process, even if shattering the void core was dangerous, Lin Chen could handle it calmly, ensuring no issues arose during his cultivation.

Without hesitation, Lin Chen broke open the perfected void core within his body from the inside, cracks spreading outward from within.

The once exquisite void core instantly shattered into fragments, and a massive amount of Void Power gushed out from the shards.

Naturally, he couldn't let the surging Void Power dissipate; instead, it needed to be used to strengthen his void body and void soul.

This was the operating principle of the 'destruction before construction' cultivation method.

By using high-quality Void Power to strengthen the void body and void soul, their increased strength would allow for the condensation of an even higher-quality void core.

It was still like stepping on one's own left foot with the right to ascend to the heavens.

Shattering the void core strengthens the void body and void soul; once they improve, an even stronger void core can be condensed. By repeating this cycle, one can break through to a higher Realm and step into half-step transcendence.

Under the suppression of Lin Chen's true spirit, the gushing Void Power could not leave his body and could only continuously batter his void body and void soul.

During this process, a large amount of Void Power merged into the void body and void soul, steadily increasing the strength of both.

This cultivation process was not short, taking about ten years to conclude. Afterward, he would need to condense a new void core, which was estimated to take another fifty years for the void core to reach Perfection again.

Therefore, in the short term, Lin Chen's true spirit could not leave the Tower of Nothingness.

Before condensing the new void core, Lin Chen's true spirit needed to remain here to contain the gushing Void Power and complete the first shattering cultivation.

————————————

In the outside world, while Lin Chen was Attaining the Dao for the fourth time and undergoing his first cultivation session...

Karma Lin Chen continued with the original plan to head to the Qianyuan Universe. It took him only a year to reach the hidden outpost built by the Human Race outside the Qianyuan Universe.

He did not show himself directly at this time, as Aura within his God Kingdom was constantly emitting the Aura of the Enemy of the Dao, which could easily affect the minds of the humans in the outpost.

Thus, he had his Fire Element Clone step forward to handle communication with the personnel inside the outpost, avoiding the various troubles his direct appearance might cause.

Fire Lin Chen, who had once again 'died' and returned home, became the communication bridge between Karma Lin Chen and the human outpost, primarily serving as a mouthpiece.

The human outpost was actually a mobile miniature Minor Thousand Worlds with a vast internal space—a sphere over a million kilometers in diameter named the Qianyuan Decision Department.

Currently, the Decision Department had three hundred million permanent personnel.

Two hundred million of them were responsible for maintaining the department's operations and, following established procedures, building the first Cosmic Gate within the Decision Department.

The remaining one hundred million were the main force for observing and researching the Qianyuan Universe, tasked with infiltrating the Qianyuan Universe to gather further information and make preliminary preparations for the subsequent invasion and takeover.

The highest decision-making body of the Decision Department was the God Council, composed of several hundred research gods.

Due to the Battle of the Heavenly Abyss in the Main Universe, the Human Race had not immediately dispatched any Foundation Level experts to preside over the area. Thus, the strongest individuals in the Decision Department were at the Half-Step Foundation Level.

Now that Karma Lin Chen had arrived, bringing Foundation Level combat power, the Decision Department could act more boldly, and the plans for the Qianyuan Universe could become more aggressive.

Judging by Karma Lin Chen's combat strength, he was invincible unless the qianyuan consciousness personally descended to do battle with him.

The dozens of Foundation Level experts in the Qianyuan Universe were only at the Early Stage and Middle Stage; there wasn't a single one at the Late Stage. Naturally, they were no match for him, and he could easily beat them into a state of silence.

However, he could only force them into a state of silence; he could not completely eradicate them.

To achieve total eradication, one would need to face the qianyuan consciousness, destroy it, and thereby kill the Foundation Level Souls entrusted within it, and then use those Souls to kill the hidden true spirits.

The qianyuan consciousness, at the very least, possessed the combat power of a Late Stage Foundation Level in its normal state. If it went all out and drew upon the power of the Universe, its combat strength could even reach the Dao Master Level of the Old Geezer.

Karma Lin Chen was strong, but for now, he was not a match for a Dao Master Level like the Old Geezer. He could only hold his own; neither side could do anything to the other.

Through Fire Lin Chen, his mouthpiece, Karma Lin Chen had already learned of the Decision Department's plan.

He left professional matters to professional people. He didn't participate in the formulation of the plan, nor did he criticize it. His task was to intercept the Foundation Level combatants of the Qianyuan Universe and handle top-level suppression.

Currently, the Qianyuan Universe had noticed nothing and was still executing a policy of isolation.

This situation was naturally beneficial for the Human Race. The later the Qianyuan Universe reacted, the more prepared the Human Race would be.

Karma Lin Chen, of course, did not stay idle.

Through his connection with the Main Body's true spirit, he knew that the true spirit would not be able to return for a short while. For a long time to come, Karma Lin Chen would have to act on his own initiative.

Thus, Karma Lin Chen chose to enter the Qianyuan Universe to further identify intelligence on the Foundation Level experts there, preparing for their future silencing.

Without alerting the qianyuan consciousness, Karma Lin Chen carefully passed through the cosmic barrier and entered the interior of the Qianyuan Universe.

The environment of the Qianyuan Universe was similar to that of the Dize Universe. The starry sky was filled with its inherent dangers, but there were no evil gods or malice.

This was what a normal Universe looked like; conversely, the starry sky of the Main Universe was the abnormal one.

The Main Universe's starry sky contained outsiders like evil gods, who constantly emitted various pollutions and disrupted the order of the stars.

There was also the source of malice, with malice permeating the entire Universe, affecting countless planets and worlds. The environment was quite harsh.

However, this also tempered the countless living beings of the Main Universe.

The harsher the environment, the more likely it was to give birth to powerful existences.

Speaking of evil gods, Karma Lin Chen remembered that he still had an enemy alive.

This enemy was the Chaos Evil God.

Back when he had rescued his parents from the Chaos Evil God's hands, he had said he would kill it.

At that time, Lin Chen's strength was insufficient, and he was no match for the Main God Level Chaos Evil God. Now that he had Attained the Dao four times, a mere Chaos Evil God was naturally something he could handle with ease.

The Chaos Evil God happened to be an evil existence attached to the source of malice, making it an object that Essence Lin Chen needed to clear away during his process of Attaining the Dao.

Whether for public duty or private grudge, the Chaos Evil God deserved to die.

So, when Essence Lin Chen, who was staying in the Main Universe, received the message from Karma Lin Chen, he did not hesitate and directly charged toward the Chaos Evil God's God Kingdom.

The slumbering Chaos Evil God was suddenly startled awake.

It sensed approaching danger but could not determine what it was. For a moment, it was extremely anxious and attempted to flee into the Void Realm to save its life.

But Essence Lin Chen had already made his move; how could he possibly let the Chaos Evil God escape?

"Chaos, is it? That single glance you took back then is the cause of your destruction today."

The Chaos Evil God's thoughts froze. Its Chaos Godhead was stripped away, and the malicious power it had obtained by attaching itself to the source of malice was also seized and replaced by a higher status.

The Chaos Evil God was no more.

Even an ordinary Foundation Level expert would have to think twice about facing Essence Lin Chen, let alone an evil god who wasn't even at the Half-Step Foundation Level.

The great grudge was avenged, and the Karma was settled.

Whether it was God Lin Chen's Main Body or his Clones, regardless of where they were, they all felt a sense of relief.

Settling this kind of personal Karma was truly refreshing; it even increased Lin Chen's cultivation speed by thirty percent.

Sometimes, cultivation was just like that.

When one's thoughts are clear and unimpeded, it's impossible for cultivation not to be fast.

The Chaos Evil God was merely a small interlude.

As Karma Lin Chen sensed the threads of Karma dissipate and a large amount of Karma feedback arrive, he no longer focused on it and instead turned his gaze back to the Qianyuan Universe.

The Qianyuan Universe had five super great races.

Each super great race had seven or eight Foundation Level experts.

In terms of status, they were comparable to the seven super great races of the Main Universe, but in terms of strength, they were completely asymmetrical. They didn't even have a single Late Stage Foundation Level, let alone a Dao Master Level presiding over them. They were still too weak.

If not for his concerns about the qianyuan consciousness, Karma Lin Chen alone could have suppressed the Qianyuan Universe, just as he had suppressed the Dize Universe before.

Among the five qianyuan races, there was no Human Race.

In this Universe, the concept of the Human Race did not even exist.

This was also normal. If the Human Race existed in the Qianyuan Universe, even if they were newly born, they would inevitably be sensed by the human luck of the Main Universe's Human Race, which would guide the humans to find the Qianyuan Universe.

Therefore, there was no need to be too scrupulous in the conquest of the Qianyuan Universe.

A world without the concept of the Human Race was, for the Human Race, a resource site, a new territory, and from now on, part of their ancestral lands since ancient times.
