Chapter 539
🕑 Added 2025-05-20 04:00:04 +0000 UTCOnce Lin Yuan mastered the first layer of Infinite Void, his internal universe reached the level of a Chaos Venerable’s internal universe.
From that point on, the main universe’s source consciousness could do nothing to him.
In terms of scale, Lin Yuan’s internal universe matched the main universe’s starry sky.
This meant that even if the main universe’s source consciousness went all out, at most it could barely confine Lin Yuan. When the Great Destruction arrived and the source consciousness weakened, even restricting Lin Yuan would be a luxury beyond its reach.
“Milky Way Strongest One, what you’re saying…”
Xuanyuan, along with the other eight apex fighters of human civilization, were startled—frightened, in fact.
The universe’s source consciousness? Unable to touch Lin Yuan?
Ordinary beings cannot sense the universe’s source consciousness. Even at the eleventh rank, it’s extremely difficult to perceive its power. But those at the twelfth-rank ultimate level come face to face with it; they know well what it represents.
The universe’s source consciousness is the sum of all energy in the entire universe. With a single thought, it can mobilize the universe’s every resource, unleashing might on par with the Chaos realm inside the universe.
Ordinary twelfth-rank Path-Clearing beings wouldn’t dare oppose it, nor would the two ultimate beings of the Calamity Clan, because the gap is just too large. It’s meaningless to even attempt it.
Their only saving grace is that the source consciousness is more like a diffuse awareness acting out of instinct. If it possessed true intelligence, it would have enslaved every being in the universe, including twelfth-rank ultimates.
The nine apex fighters of human civilization exchanged looks, wanting to speak but holding back. They had utmost faith in Lin Yuan, but the notion that the source consciousness simply could not handle him went beyond what they could comprehend.
“I’ve made some breakthroughs,” Lin Yuan said with a slight smile, seeing their doubts. He casually raised his hand and tore open a swath of the void.
Comparing this to last time, when Lin Yuan unleashed power beyond the Path-Clearing pinnacle, the source consciousness had at least shown up and taken a look. Now it didn’t even appear.
“This…?”
Xuanyuan and the others were stunned. That casual attack from Lin Yuan carried terrifying might, and ordinarily, it would provoke the source consciousness’s attention. Yet they sensed no trace of it responding.
A single thought loomed in their minds.
It was now the source consciousness that dreaded Lin Yuan.
“Milky Way Strongest One, compared to you, the nine of us…”
Gu Li the Strongest One looked at Lin Yuan. His voice carried complicated emotion.
They had watched Lin Yuan step by step from a weak lifeform to the fearsome existence who could defy the source consciousness. Meanwhile, their own strength had hardly changed in that time.
“With you here, how fortunate our human civilization is,” Xuanyuan sighed. All circumstances in this universe had shifted because of Lin Yuan, leaving human civilization on top. And now, when the Great Destruction was imminent, once again Lin Yuan meant they could avoid the anguish of parting from their loved ones.
Humanity had gained too much from him. Across many Great Destructions in history, any race that wanted to survive had to abandon at least ninety percent of its people. Some selfish twelfth-rank ultimates would even forsake their entire race to boost their own chances.
“If we’re relocating our entire human civilization, then the migration plan must be redrafted,” Yu Die the Strongest One said, already thinking of the new approach.
“We only need to gather all citizens in this region.” Lin Yuan caused a star map to appear, indicating an area of space.
Roughly two million light years in expanse, it would hold all of humanity’s citizens comfortably.
“All together in one place?” Xia Qin the Strongest One asked, looking at Lin Yuan.
“I can move every human citizen in that region into my internal universe all at once,” Lin Yuan said.
His internal universe spanned 20 million light years. By deploying his “World” divine power, he could temporarily create an external universe of the same size. Though it had limited duration, it was plenty of time to draw every human citizen into his universe. (THE WORLD!!)
Once all were inside, Lin Yuan could shift the life essence imprint of those citizens—originally anchored to the main universe’s starry river of time—fully into his internal universe’s timeline.
“That’s actually easier,” Xuanyuan noted.
Sure enough, if everyone could be moved, it would simplify matters.
Initially, they had been using a lottery system for the population. Anyone selected inevitably had to say goodbye to their family and friends, wasting considerable time. Some gave up their spot rather than part with loved ones, forcing the process to continue even longer.
The three goddesses and the apex fighters knew this but could do nothing to speed things up.
Now?
If every citizen could transfer, there was no need for farewells. They could mobilize strong evolvers to move planet by planet, drastically improving efficiency.
Having discussed the basics, the nine apex fighters felt a wave of relief. Their original plan was stressful enough—abandoning ninety percent of humanity. Now it was much better.
“By the way, roughly when will the Great Destruction occur?” asked Void God the Strongest One.
“No more than three hundred years,” Lin Yuan replied gravely. Through his avatar on Guming Chaotic Continent, he kept tabs on it.
The battlefield of the Nine Phoenix Great Saint and the Shadowfiend Great Saint wasn’t far. In Chaos Void terms, it would reach them in about a year, which translated to three hundred years in this universe.
“Chaos Great Saints… terrifying,” Void God murmured. Their mere clash unleashed shockwaves capable of shattering entire universes prematurely.
“Chaos Great Saints can shape their own power from chaos rules. Their every gesture can suppress a Chaos Venerable,” Lin Yuan explained.
Of course, a Chaos Venerable still had survival methods. Even a peerless Great Saint found it difficult to truly kill one. They could at most destroy the Venerable’s real body.
But the intimidation factor of a Chaos Great Saint was unmatched. No Chaos Venerable wanted to lose their true body—that meant forfeiting most of their weapons and treasures, and it could take countless epochs to recover.
“Let us nine personally relocate our citizens,” Xia Qin the Strongest One suggested.
Moving from planet to planet would be quick with apex fighters. A single thought could span unfathomable distances.
Across the human domain, on countless life-bearing planets, people were bidding tearful farewells. Many believed they would never be reunited.
Then, a message from the three goddesses arrived on every citizen’s device:
“Due to the power of the Milky Way Strongest One, the migration plan has changed. The lottery system is canceled. All citizens of our human civilization now qualify for relocation to the new universe.”
It caused a massive stir among humans.
“All of us can go?”
“We don’t have to wait here and die?”
“Hahahaha, that’s wonderful!”
Countless citizens wept tears of joy. Who wouldn’t prefer the chance to live on in a new universe?
“It’s the Milky Way Strongest One. Thanks to him we can survive.”
“He’s the greatest of our civilization’s Strongest One.”
They sensed that the notice mentioned him first and foremost. Though they didn’t know how exactly he could manage to take everyone along, it obviously required a heavy price. Why else would they have used a lottery before, granting only one in a hundred-something people a spot?
In the cosmic void, various other alien races, though subjugated to humanity, were not included in the migration plan because they weren’t actual human citizens.
“They’re taking their entire race to the new universe?”
“Our twelve-rank ultimate can only bring a millionth of our species, if that.”
“Is it because of the Milky Way Strongest One?”
Mixed emotions gripped them. Not long ago, Lin Yuan had released all the twelfth-rank ultimates, letting them return to their races. The aliens had learned of the Great Destruction from humanity.
Much like humanity’s method, these races made plans too. But even the most deep-rooted of them dared transfer only a millionth of their total population.
Because the Great Destruction was arriving prematurely, those ultimates were not yet at their peak, and Lin Yuan had taken all their powerful weapons and treasures. Being able to save even a millionth of their kin was quite generous already.
“If that’s the Milky Way Strongest One’s doing, what do we do? Should we pledge ourselves fully to human civilization, just to survive?”
“Surrender ourselves entirely? That means becoming their slaves.”
“But what is slavery compared to death?”
Many alien powerhouses who lacked migration spots began to wonder.
So-called “pledging themselves” meant turning over everything, becoming property of the humans.
They were already vassals, but not to that degree.
Now, seeing how humanity would rise on the coattails of the Milky Way Strongest One, they thought they too might survive by offering themselves fully.
“The Milky Way Strongest One wants to take their entire race? That’s impossible, right? Isn’t he afraid of the universe’s source consciousness?”
Alien ultimates of the twelfth rank also heard. Their first reaction was disbelief.
For them, a full-scale relocation would trigger the source consciousness’s backlash. Even if the Milky Way Star Lord was beyond the Path-Clearing pinnacle, they figured he couldn’t endure it.
“Or perhaps his power is beyond anything we can imagine,” murmured the Starry Sky Alliance Strongest One, deducing from the outcome.
They had no clue what gave Lin Yuan the confidence to bring all of humanity. But if he was daring to do so, it meant one of two things:
Either he was a fool courting death, or he was certain he could fend off the source consciousness’s might.
Since he obviously wasn’t a fool, the second must be true.
“Milky Way Strongest One!”
Many twelfth-rank aliens looked at each other, each feeling a tremor of fear.
“Time to start the relocation,”
Lin Yuan thought to himself, gazing at the endless streams of citizens converging from every direction.
Without the worry of who gets drawn, the human migration moved swiftly. Planet by planet, a mass exodus to designated gathering points saved untold amounts of time.
“Divine ability… World.” (THE WORLD!!)
Hovering in space, Lin Yuan exerted his will, and a colossal surge of energy instantly covered 2 million light years around him.
Everyone within that region from human civilization came under its influence.
“Gather.”
With a calm expression, Lin Yuan contracted that region, instantly taking them all into his internal universe.
Immediately, countless humans realized their surroundings had changed. A formless pressure fell on them.
Though Lin Yuan had adjusted the internal universe extensively, its stability differed sharply from the main cosmic void.
A slightly stronger evolver could sense the strangeness.
But it was no big deal. The solidity of time and space hardly affected ordinary people. It mostly limited high-level evolvers from freely shifting or tearing through space.
Even a twelfth-rank ultimate would be heavily constrained inside Lin Yuan’s internal universe, unable to escape.
Infinite Void aims to shape the internal universe in imitation of the Chaos Void itself. In theory, if one mastered it to perfection, that universe would rival the Chaos Void in scale.
Hence its stability was evident—even just the first layer was enough so that a Chaos Venerable inside it would be trapped, with no escape.
“The Milky Way Strongest One’s methods are incredible…”
Not far off, the nine apex fighters of humanity watched in awe. Within mere moments, countless citizens across two million light years had vanished, scooped up just like that.

I have a guess.. those (THE WORLD!!) is a za warudo reference getting translated because the ai doesn't know the difference between content and editor/author notes, despite it being a different language
