77: Dimensionality reduction attack

Lin Chen (Copy Body) was momentarily dazed, his consciousness returning to find himself stuck inside a tree trunk.

The original destination of the rift was fixed, but Nangong Old Geezer had added random teleportation patterns to it, so Lin Chen was randomly teleported into the trunk of a tree.

Doing so was for everyone's benefit.

The Heavenly Dao of Wanling World was of a higher status than Nangong Old Geezer.

If the Heavenly Dao of Wanling World had deceived Nangong Old Geezer's perception and had already ambushed a large force on the other side of the rift, Lin Chen and the others, entering at a fixed point, would likely have been completely annihilated.

There was no trace of Lin Chen's Three Souls Clone around him; they had clearly been dispersed by the teleportation.

He did not act rashly for the time being, merely entering Spiritual Stealth mode immediately, then cautiously releasing his mental energy to probe the surrounding environment.

His mental energy spread outwards, one kilometer, two kilometers... ten kilometers, twenty kilometers, until it covered a radius of one thousand kilometers.

Within the entire circular area with a one-thousand-kilometer radius, Lin Chen only sensed a few Human Race cities and a large number of Human Race villages; he did not sense any creatures that could pose a threat to him.

"Such good luck, directly landing in a Human Race area."

Nangong Old Geezer's previous probes indicated that the location corresponding to the rift was quite far from the Human Race area.

Unexpectedly, after a random teleportation, Lin Chen landed in a Human Race area, and there were no threats around.

"I can't let my guard down. It would be bad if this was an area where other races raised humans."

Lin Chen extricated himself from the tree trunk, maintaining his Spiritual Stealth state, and flew towards the nearest Human Race city.

In just over ten seconds, he crossed several hundred kilometers and arrived outside the city.

This city was protected by a formation. In Lin Chen's view, the formation's level was only around the Third Order, and its arrangement was not concise enough, with very low resource utilization efficiency, and the formation patterns were also very rudimentary.

A Human Race city protected by a formation was likely not a Human Race being raised.

However, it also couldn't be ruled out that those foreign races liked to eat high-ranking Human Race cultivators and protected the lower-class Human Race simply to provide them with a stable environment for reproduction and cultivation.

After all, even raising pigs requires providing them with a good environment; otherwise, the pigs won't produce meat, and it won't be enjoyable to eat.

Lin Chen blended into the crowd, passed through the city gate, and entered the city. No one noticed his presence, as if he were on a different layer.

Half an hour later, Lin Chen confirmed a lot of information, clarified his location, and gained a basic understanding of Wanling World.

Although the language and writing of the Wanling Human Race were different from the Federation's, for high-ranking cultivators, mental energy communication was not a difficult thing.

Through mental energy probing, Lin Chen quickly mastered the writing and language of the Wanling Human Race. With a linguistic foundation, he could naturally collect information quickly through mental energy.

The area he landed in was indeed a Wanling Human Race area, not a Demon Beast breeding ground.

The entire Wanling World is broadly divided into Three Continents and Five Seas.

The three major continents are Spiritual State, Spiritual State, and Demon Continent.

The five seas are Continent Sea, and the four seas of the Southeast, Northwest.

The rulers of God State are the Spirit Race. They are strong but not malicious. Their oppression of the myriad spirits under their command is not excessive, and their vassal groups all strongly support the Spirit Race's rule.

The rulers of God State are the God Race. They are strong and arrogant, looking down on all myriad spirits except other ruling races, lofty and overbearing.

The rulers of Demon Continent are the Demon Race. They are strong and evil, adhering to the philosophy of the strong preying on the weak, and the destruction of their subordinate races is a common occurrence.

Continent Sea, the ocean at the center of the three major continents, is inhabited by the strongest Sea Race in this world. The four seas of the Southeast, Northwest, are occupied by the four major branch royal families of the Sea Race.

The Sea Race does not meddle in land affairs. They love the ocean and prefer to stay in their own small territories.

The Spirit Race, God Race, Demon Race, and Sea Race all have supreme experts (Ninth Order Gods) suppressing their human luck.

However, the Wanling Human Race was born in the eastern coastal area of Demon Continent. Precisely because they were born in Demon Continent, the Human Race could not develop and instead became livestock for the Demon Race, a race that could continuously provide blood food.

Currently, Lin Chen is located in the eastern part of the Human Race Territory. Flying tens of thousands of kilometers eastward would bring him to the East Sea of Wanling World.

The ocean is the territory of the Sea Race, and land races are not allowed to enter the sea. Even the islands in the sea belong to the Sea Race. Therefore, although the Human Race is coastal, the ocean is a forbidden area for the Human Race.

Consequently, the Human Race areas near the East Sea are very barren, and their overall strength is poor. Fortunately, the Sea Race does not come ashore and has no interest in the dry Human Race on land.

Considering all these factors, the eastern part of the Human Race Territory actually has a large population and is considered the Human Race's rear area, after all, the Sea Race truly has no designs on the Human Race, and occasionally, kind-hearted Sea Race members even help the Human Race.

Having understood the basic situation, Lin Chen found a relatively high mountain range area, first set up a Tenth Order isolation formation, and then began to set up a summoning altar.

Compared to Lin Chen's smooth start, his Three Souls Clone had a somewhat unlucky beginning.

The Essence Clone descended on Spiritual State, landing directly next to the God Race's Divine Court. Before it could do anything, it was reduced to ashes by the Divine Court's passive defense system.

The Qi Clone landed on Spiritual State, right on a battlefield. The two sides were originally engaged in a friendly competition, but when the Qi Clone appeared, both sides turned their spears outwards, united against it, chasing and killing the Qi Clone.

The Gods Avatar, on the other hand, landed in the sea. It immediately activated Spiritual Stealth, thus avoiding a certain death crisis, but in the vast ocean, it lost its direction and ventured deep into a forbidden land.

human luck is conserved. If Lin Chen (Copy Body) had good luck, his Three Souls Clone had to be a bit miserable; otherwise, there wouldn't be enough human luck to go around.

Everyone else, more or less, encountered some trouble. Some were directly annihilated, some were chased, and others went into hiding, beginning to set up summoning altars.

[old dengs book private chat interface]

Lin Chen: Old Deng, I've already understood some things, blah blah blah...

Lin Chen: I'm currently setting up a summoning altar. Should I summon you or Jin Instructor?

Homebody Instructor who Doesnt Go Out: Little Old Deng, it's really you.

Homebody Instructor who Doesnt Go Out: Summon Little Jin. Summoning me might fail. Summon Little Jin's Number One Copy Body, and let him take you to find the tribal land of the Wanling Human Race. With the help of the Wanling Human Race's human luck, it can somewhat mask the phenomena of my arrival.

Lin Chen: Very good, it's expected to be completed in three days.

Homebody Instructor who Doesnt Go Out: Understood.

Three days later, Lin Chen completed the setup of the summoning altar.

Activating the summoning altar, a figure was being pulled by the altar, slowly and with difficulty squeezing out of it.

Lin Chen could do nothing about it and could only wait quietly.

As Jin Instructor's Number One Copy Body was summoned and pulled, it immediately attracted the attention of the Heavenly Dao of Wanling World. However, a God Ascension Second Level Jin Instructor Copy Body was not worth too much attention from the Heavenly Dao.

So the Heavenly Dao only sent down a bolt of lightning, striking the summoning altar.

However, precisely because the Heavenly Dao acted, the summoning altar instead absorbed the lightning as a boost for the summoning, forcibly pulling the Instructor Copy Body to descend at the cost of its own destruction.

After so many years of development, the Federation has already matured in this type of technology. Cross-world descent, luring the Heavenly Dao to act, and using the power of the Heavenly Dao as a boost is a very common method.

"Damn, this descent is so rough, it's really uncomfortable."

Jin Instructor descended, looking very unwell. There were small cuts all over his body, made by spatial energy, but fortunately, they were minor injuries that would heal soon and not harm his foundation.

"Student Lin Chen, let's go. Before the Heavenly Dao reacts, quickly summon Instructor Nangong to enter. I can't withstand the Heavenly Dao's counterattack."

"Instructor Jin, I'll listen to you."

Jin Instructor's Number One Copy Body directly enveloped Lin Chen and rushed towards the place where the Wanling Human Race's human luck converged.

In just five minutes, the two arrived in front of an ancient village.

Even though Lin Chen couldn't perceive the human luck of the Wanling Human Race, the warm feeling of being enveloped by Human Race human luck was undeniable.

Although they were not of the same lineage, the concept of the Human Race united Human Race members from different origins.

The human luck of the Wanling Human Race did not reject the two; instead, it instinctively drew close to them, as the Federation Human Race human luck on their bodies was an existence that had evolved to an incomprehensible degree.

When a lower existence sees a higher existence, closeness is the correct response.

"Who are you?!"

In the ancient village, powerful figures of the Wanling Human Race appeared one by one, staring at Lin Chen and the other person who had appeared.

Lin Chen swept his gaze over them: thirty-five people, all at the Deng Shen level, or, in terms of Wanling World's cultivation realms, all were Immortalized Grand Beings.

Wanling World's cultivation realms are divided into three major stages: Cultivation Five Orders, Half-Immortal, and Immortalized.

Cultivation Five Orders corresponds to Martial Dao Tenth Order, Half-Immortal corresponds to Demigod, and Immortalized corresponds to Ascension to God.

"Greetings, we two are from the outside world, from the Federal Human Race."

"Outside world? Federal Human Race?"

The Wanling Human Race members who could cultivate to the Immortalized stage had some understanding of the world beyond, but Wanling World sealed off the heavens and earth, isolating external passages, so they had some understanding of the outside world, but not much.

"How do you prove your identity?"

An old man with an otherworldly demeanor walked out from the crowd, calmly asking Lin Chen and Jin Instructor to prove their identities.

Jin Instructor said nothing, merely projecting a promotional video of the Federal Human Race, pulling everyone present into the scene of the projected video.

In the projected scene, two thousand deities of the Federal Human Race, millions of Deng Shen, and countless Demigods were sacrificing human luck. The corpses of countless monsters were placed before the consecrated kindling, allowing the kindling to devour them.

The thirty-five Immortalized Grand Beings of the Wanling Human Race were unknowingly pulled into the projected scene, seated in the audience, directly witnessing the Federal Human Race's sacrificial ceremony.

They could sense the divine power on the two thousand deities, the pressure of high-level life forms, which made them very uncomfortable. The millions of beings at their same level made them feel even more fear.

The projection was very long, and the sacrifice lasted for two hours.

From the initial sacrifice of demigod enemy leaders to the final corpses of deities, these Immortalized ones were already numb, believing in the existence of the Federal Human Race from the bottom of their hearts, and even feeling a yearning.

If they had been born into such a powerful race, perhaps not so many of their Human Race descendants would have been eaten by the Demon Race; instead, they would have been the ones eating the demons.
