Chapter 540

“Are all citizens of human civilization… inside my internal universe now?”

Lin Yuan sat cross-legged, feeling a certain heavy pressure.

Actually, there are still some citizens of human civilization inside the internal universes of Xuanyuan and Xia Qin, the Strongest ones.

But compared with Lin Yuan, they can be completely ignored.

Lin Yuan alone has practically taken on the task of transferring all citizens of human civilization.

Of course, for Lin Yuan, this task poses no difficulty.

“Nothing seems to have gone wrong.” Lin Yuan observed for a while and found that the countless citizens after the transfer were still maintaining order, proceeding with the subsequent work in an orderly manner.

In fact, before this migration, all citizens of human civilization had already simulated multiple transfers in the virtual world to avoid any chaos caused by the change in environment.

For this transfer, the virtual world even loosened its permissions, opening it to all citizens of human civilization.

“Next, once the universe undergoes total annihilation, I’ll transfer the life imprints of all the citizens again.”

Lin Yuan thought to himself.

Right now, what he has transferred is merely the physical bodies and souls of the citizens.

As for each citizen’s fundamental life imprint, it still floats within the River of Time in the starry sky of the main universe.

Rank Twelve Ultimates can go against the current and use the life imprints in the River of Time to resurrect those who died at Rank Six and also Rank Six lives from the past.

But this does not mean that beings below Rank Six have no imprint.

It’s just that their life imprints are too weak and insignificant, so ordinary Rank Twelve Ultimates cannot lock onto them.

Yet Lin Yuan is different. With his current perception, he can easily lock onto any point of imprint in the River of Time.

If he does not transfer the citizens’ life imprints, then when the universe reaches total annihilation and the River of Time collapses, even if all the citizens are sheltered in Lin Yuan’s internal universe, they will still die along with it.

“At that time, I’ll probably face some retaliation from the universe.”

Lin Yuan is well aware that seizing life imprints on such a large scale from the River of Time of the main universe and moving them to his own internal universe’s River of Time is undeniably a direct theft in front of the cosmic source consciousness.

This is more severe than the Rank Twelve Ultimates resurrecting the dead from the past.

Resurrecting those who died in the past defies basic universal rules, but at least those resurrected lives are still within the universe, thus belonging to the universe itself.

But moving them into Lin Yuan’s internal universe? That is undoubtedly taking them completely away.

It will definitely touch the bottom line of the cosmic source consciousness.

In reality, with Lin Yuan’s power, he could transfer them right now, and so-called universal retaliation would be hard-pressed to shake him.

But there’s no need for that. Currently, the cosmic source consciousness is still at its peak. If he waits until the universe’s total annihilation, when the cosmic source consciousness weakens, and only then performs the transfer, the retaliation he faces by then will be much weaker.

Naturally, Lin Yuan would rather face a weaker retaliation than a stronger one.

Chaos Void.

A continent in the Chaos Void, as large as dozens of universes, begins to slowly decelerate and finally comes to a halt.

This continent of the Chaos Void is precisely the Guming Chaotic Continent. After repeated calculations, Guming Venerable has determined that this region will not be affected by the conflict of the two Chaos Great Saints.

“It’s stopped.”

“We can finally leave.”

“I wonder what this part of the void is like? Could it be more dangerous than before?”

On Guming Chaotic Continent, many powerful figures were whispering. They had all left with Guming Chaotic Continent, so naturally they were curious about this unfamiliar void they had never encountered.

“Guming Venerable is merciful, willing to take us away.”

“That’s right. If we weren’t on this Chaos Continent, who knows how many dangers we’d face trying to get here.”

One after another, the powerful figures felt quite relieved. The Chaos Void is fraught with perils everywhere, not only in the form of treacherous locations and hidden realms, but more often from other powerhouses.

Wherever one goes, plunder is always the quickest way to obtain resources, and the Chaos Void is no exception.

Guming Chaotic Continent traveled this far without encountering any obstruction, all thanks to the deterrence of Guming Venerable!

His strength was already formidable, not to mention the presence of a Chaos Dragon Beast nearly equal to a Venerable. Even other Chaos Venerables of the same level must think carefully about whether they have the power to halt them.

Guming Chaotic Continent reached here so smoothly, but that doesn’t mean any solitary powerhouse would have an equally smooth journey.

“How far is it from here to our home universe…”

Lin Yuan was also surveying the new environment, at the same time sensing the distance between this incarnation and his true body.

“With my current comprehension of space-time, it will probably take ten years of travel to get there,” Lin Yuan concluded.

Now that Lin Yuan’s space-time comprehension has reached the peak of the Seventh Layer, he still needs ten years to cross this distance. If it were back when he first explored the Chaos Void, it might have taken a hundred or even a thousand years.

“Just ten years, that’s not long.”

Lin Yuan nodded. At least, as of now, he hasn’t found a place safer than Guming Chaotic Continent.

“Hmm?”

Lin Yuan’s expression shifted abruptly as he looked out over the vast Chaos Void in all directions.

He saw that as Guming Chaotic Continent came to a stop, it affected a vast surrounding region.

Guming Chaotic Continent is simply too massive, equivalent to several dozen universes. The gravitational field it naturally generates can attract all matter across a huge area.

Rustle.

In the distance, one colossal object after another appeared, drawn toward this side by Guming Chaotic Continent.

These enormous objects are basically mineral veins of metal and such that formed naturally in the Chaos Void. Their value isn’t high, but their quantity is enormous. When they collide and gather, they form massive asteroids that, attracted by Guming Chaotic Continent, come hurtling over at terrifying speeds.

Just like in the starry sky of a universe, a star always has countless planets revolving around it because they are drawn by its gravity.

But Guming Chaotic Continent’s mass surpasses anything a star could compare to, and the number of asteroids it attracts is incalculable.

Lin Yuan wasn’t worried about this, because Guming Chaotic Continent is surrounded by numerous great arrays and prohibitions. Those incoming asteroids would only be crushed by the arrays.

However.

Just then.

“Roar!!”

A pitch-black dragon beast burst out from the depths of Guming Chaotic Continent and came to the exterior of the continent. With just a single roar, those incoming asteroids instantly disintegrated into fragments, which began orbiting Guming Chaotic Continent slowly.

“That’s the Chaos Dragon Beast?”

Lin Yuan looked slightly solemn. This Chaos Dragon Beast is a wondrous being nurtured by the Chaos Void, possessing a formidable innate foundation that is simply astonishing, so it can rival a Venerable at the peak of Dominance rank.

“Fragment World?”

Lin Yuan saw that after the Chaos Dragon Beast shattered all the asteroids, it began arranging the scattered pieces, finally creating a ring of so-called “fragment worlds” around Guming Chaotic Continent.

“In this way, quite a few fragment worlds have been added.”

Lin Yuan’s mind stirred. This not only resolved the massive incoming objects but also created a new source of income for Guming Chaotic Continent.

You have to understand that these fragment worlds orbiting Guming Chaotic Continent are suitable to serve as dwellings, and they aren’t cheap. The starting price is one hundred thousand Chaos Stones, while some can reach hundreds of thousands or even millions.

Lin Yuan has been waiting for a suitable fragment world to serve as a new home for human civilization.

Inside the hall responsible for managing Guming Chaotic Continent’s fragment worlds.

Wan Qu was “counting” the newly generated fragment worlds, cataloging them and estimating their worth.

“This time, we got more than a thousand fragment worlds, and among them, there are six hundred that are suitable for training…”

Wan Qu was full of energy. Six hundred fragment worlds, even at the cheapest one hundred thousand Chaos Stones each, adds up to sixty million Chaos Stones.

“Huh?”

“There are quite a few fragment worlds that meet Brother Milky Way’s requirements.”

Wan Qu suddenly thought of something and grinned.

He does have a strong impression of Lin Yuan, since in Wan Qu’s view, Lin Yuan’s true body must be a Dominance rank powerhouse.

“I’ll have Brother Milky Way come have a look.”

Wan Qu immediately contacted Lin Yuan.

The moment he did, a young man in a black robe appeared not far away.

When Wan Qu saw him, he stood up at once and greeted him respectfully, “Martial Uncle.”

That black-robed youth was indeed the Chaos Dragon Beast. As a wondrous life form, transformation techniques come to it almost as instinct, but it usually can’t be bothered to change and keeps its true form.

This Chaos Dragon Beast has a close relationship with Guming Venerable, so all of Guming Venerable’s disciples address it as “Martial Uncle.”

“Alright, how is it? Are those asteroid fragments decent?” asked the black-robed youth lazily.

He had specifically emerged to roar those asteroids apart and form fragment worlds, not for free. He could earn some benefits from it.

“Reporting to Martial Uncle, the fragment worlds formed this time are all quite good,” said Wan Qu truthfully.

“That’s good.” The black-robed youth seemed pleased. According to the arrangement they had discussed, he could directly take thirty percent of all profits from these fragment worlds.

“Wan Qu wants me to pick out a fragment world?”

In the inn, Lin Yuan received Wan Qu’s message.

“Looks like I can finally find a suitable fragment world this time.”

Lin Yuan collected himself, then stood up and walked toward the hall in the trade area.

Soon.

Lin Yuan arrived outside the hall.

Inside the hall.

Wan Qu was talking to the black-robed youth.

“Martial Uncle, someone has come to choose a fragment world.”

Wan Qu said.

“Go ahead.”

The black-robed youth nodded.

Naturally, he would not waste Wan Qu’s time on business matters, especially since he would personally earn thirty percent from the fragment worlds.

“Yes.”

Wan Qu nodded, then left the hall to greet Lin Yuan.

“So that’s the one choosing a fragment world?”

The black-robed youth cast a glance, noticing Lin Yuan talking with Wan Qu.

“Just an avatar?”

He immediately saw that Lin Yuan outside the hall was not the true body.

“Huh?”

The black-robed youth seemed to sense something. The moment his gaze fell on Lin Yuan, the thin trace of time bloodline running through his body began to tremble faintly.

“Mh…”

The black-robed youth stared at Lin Yuan from afar, and in his eyes there emerged a look of fear.

It was even more intense fear than the “premonition” of possibly being swept up in the battle between the two Chaos Great Saints.
