Chapter 317
🕑 Added 2024-10-12 04:00:02 +0000 UTC"Continue opening spatial layers," Lin Yuan gathered his thoughts.
In fact, when he had already opened up to tens of millions of spatial layers, Lin Yuan could have attempted to break through to the tenth rank.
According to the experiences of countless ninth-rank evolvers breaking through to the tenth rank in the main world, the threshold is met when one has opened tens of millions of spatial layers.
However, Lin Yuan was unwilling to give up the greatest opportunity from this transmigration.
After breaking through to the tenth rank, the internal world would continue to transform, beginning a certain degree of 'solidification'.
At that time, it would no longer be as easy to open spatial layers as it was at the ninth rank.
Rather than this, it would be better to open as many spatial layers as possible while at the ninth rank.
Why did the strongest ninth-rank life form of the Tianyu tribe, Huny, open up more than thirty million spatial layers and still not want to break through to the tenth rank?
Was he foolish? Of course not.
Spatial layers are the thickness and depth of a world, a more subtle foundation beyond its apparent size.
The more spatial layers one opens at the ninth rank, the greater the help for stepping into the tenth rank, and even the eleventh rank, transforming the internal world into an internal universe.
This is also why Lin Yuan is currently frantically opening spatial layers.
Opportunities must be seized.
Additionally.
Lin Yuan did not attempt to break through to the tenth rank because of the Mysterious Emperor Secret Realm.
The Mysterious Emperor Secret Realm does not allow entry for those at the tenth rank or above; this has been the rule since the secret realm's inception.
Not even the Strongest Ones can force their way in, and Lin Yuan worries that if he crosses into the world during transmigration, his mind and will might undergo a transformation, being detected by the secret realm and thus 'repelled'.
Of course.
This possibility is not very high.
Lin Yuan's will descended, even if he really broke through to the tenth rank, it would not be related to his true self.
The descent of his will has a 'trial and error' function for Lin Yuan.
But to be safe, considering various factors, Lin Yuan temporarily focuses on opening spatial layers.
Anyway, with his current accumulation, he can break through to the tenth rank whenever he wants, there is no need to rush.
Those ninth-rank peak powerhouses who have just opened millions of spatial layers are eager to break through to the tenth rank because their lifespans are nearing the end.
They have no other choice but to do so.
Lin Yuan's lifespan is still ample, there is no need to rush.
"Mysterious Emperor Secret Realm," Lin Yuan once again used the Gate of Myriad Realms to perceive the situation on the other side of the Yang Primordial Spirit.
"Brother Xi Lan's aura has already weakened by nearly a quarter," Lin Yuan knew, understanding that Xi Lan could still hold on for a while longer.
As for the damage caused to the main body and avatar by burning mind and will? It's not irreparable, at worst, after Lin Yuan finishes the transmigration, he can give Xi Lan some opportunities once he returns to the Mysterious Emperor Secret Realm.
Lin Yuan can foresee that after this transmigration ends, with his strength, he should be able to sweep away all ninth-rank powerhouses in the Mysterious Emperor Secret Realm.
By then, all the resources within the secret realm will be his to take.
In fact, Lin Yuan doesn't need to complete the entire transmigration, he can now sweep through the entire Mysterious Emperor Secret Realm if he returns.
The Sea of Light.
Hundreds of true gods sat in a spacious hall.
The long-term abduction of a large number of demigods by Lin Yuan's two primordial spirits had completely enraged the gods of the Sea of Light, especially after a large number of divine crystals were looted three hundred years ago.
Old grudges and new hatreds made the gods gnash their teeth in anger.
"My most devout believer, the seventh-rank demigod Yin Mosi, has been missing for more than two hundred years. I can sense that they are still alive, but I don't know where they are."
A true god with a single horn scanned the surrounding true gods and spoke.
"My two demigod believers are the same. Who could possibly isolate our senses?" another true god with white wings said.
"My believers are the same."
"Isolating our senses, could it be that they fell into another divine kingdom?"
"Was it the gods of the Abyss of Darkness?"
"No, the Abyss of Darkness also has a main god constraint, they wouldn't do such a thing."
Hundreds of true gods continued to discuss, finally concluding that their believers were likely in another divine kingdom, otherwise, it would be impossible to isolate the gods' senses.
However, this divine kingdom might not belong to a living god, but to a remnant divine kingdom of a fallen god from the distant past, which also had similar abilities.
"In other words, someone abducted our demigod believers and hid them in a remnant divine kingdom?"
"What is the purpose of this? Why not just kill them? Just doing this for no reason?"
The true gods were puzzled, although this conclusion was incredible, there was no other explanation for what they had experienced.
"A group of powerful demigods in the mortal world, who accidentally obtained a divine opportunity and a remnant divine kingdom, then started targeting our church's demigods, abducting them for some purpose, and placing them in that remnant divine kingdom?"
Soon, a true god speculated the cause of the matter.
Although there were still many inexplicable elements, the gist of it was clear.
"So, what should we do now? Where exactly are our demigod believers, and who is the culprit behind all this? Is there any clue?"
A true god asked.
"Don't worry."
At this moment, a true god sitting at the head of the hall spoke.
He was a high god, one of the highest-ranking gods below the main gods. He scanned the hall and slowly said, "I already sent the aura of your believers to the God of Divination a hundred years ago, asking him to deduce the last place the aura existed."
Upon hearing this.
The gods in the hall were reassured.
The God of Divination is one of the twelve main gods of the Sea of Light.
The God of Divination possesses a very special ability: prophecy and divination.
The God of Divination can merge with the heavens and earth, observing the changes and evolutions of all things from a special perspective.
Simply put, as long as the God of Divination is willing to pay the price, he can know anything in the world.
However, asking the God of Divination to take action requires a huge price. If it weren't for the severe loss of their demigod believers, the high god wouldn't have asked for his help.
"The God of Divination told me that he would give us the result during this time," the high god sitting at the head of the hall slowly said.
"Good."
"Then let's wait."
"We can share some of the cost for asking the God of Divination."
The gods looked at each other and spoke one after another.
Hearing this, the high god's expression improved slightly.
Time passed slowly.
Several months went by in the blink of an eye.
The expression of the high god sitting at the head of the hall suddenly changed.
Seeing this, the other true gods turned their eyes towards him.
Moments later.
The high god's expression gradually returned to normal.
Then he looked at the gods and slowly said, "The God of Divination has given the result."
"As expected of the God of Divination."
"This is the source of the aura that we couldn't find no matter what!"
"Where is the last place the auras of our demigod believers disappeared?"
The gods looked expectantly at the high god.
"The God of Divination said that the place where all the believers' auras last disappeared is located in the Longshan Range of the Silan Empire on the Plateau of Nations."
The high god directly said.
"Silan Empire, that's the territory of the God of Order."
"Longshan Range? I remember, the lord of Longshan Range has good qualifications and talent. It's speculated that he might have obtained divine opportunity."
"Divine opportunity? I understand, the culprit who abducted our demigod believers is the lord of Longshan Range. This matches our previous speculation that all the believers were hidden in a remnant divine kingdom."
"The lord of Longshan Range, the patriarch of the Longshan family, a demigod under five hundred years old, he truly deserves death for daring to act against us in secret."
"If it weren't for the God of Divination, we would still be in the dark. This patriarch of the Longshan family truly deserves death."
The gods spoke angrily but did not act rashly.
After all, Longshan Range was within the territory of the Church of Order, which was under the God of Order.
Without knowing whether this matter involved the God of Order or whether he was aware of it, the gods, despite their anger, had to remain rational.
"Let's go."
"We should descend with divine power incarnations to Longshan Range and see if the great God of Order will address this matter."
"Yes, the great God of Order upholds order, and the actions of the patriarch of the Longshan family are equivalent to creating chaos. I don't believe the God of Order is aware of this."
The gods looked at each other and quickly made a decision.
The twelve main gods of the Sea of Light are highly revered, and the God of Order is no exception. With his rank, how could he care about those demigods in the mortal world?
This matter was likely done by the patriarch of the Longshan family and had nothing to do with the God of Order.
But no matter what, the people of the Longshan family were in the territory of the Church of Order. Even if they were justified, they had to inform the God of Order.
"I have had contact with the Pope of the Church of Order in the Silan Empire. Let me first ask him if he knows about this."
A true god spoke, immediately sending a wisp of divine power to make contact.
Any pope of a true god's church has an extremely special connection with the true god, often being direct descendants.
The pope of a main god's church, such as the Church of Order, is directly an incarnation of a subordinate god of the God of Order.
Only in this way can the entire church be better controlled.
Although the subordinate gods do not have freedom, they are still gods. Being in the Sea of Light, it was quite normal for the true gods to have contact with each other.
"Let's go now."
"To Longshan Range to demand an explanation."
Hundreds of true gods in the hall, one after another, descended with divine power incarnations, heading towards Longshan Range in the Silan Empire.
Silan Empire.
Church of Order.
The Pope suddenly opened his eyes.
"The patriarch of the Longshan family is the culprit behind the abduction of many church demigod powerhouses over the past few hundred years?"
"And now a large number of divine power incarnations of true gods are coming this way?"
The Pope of Order frowned. His true form was a god in the Sea of Light, tasked by the God of Order to manage the church in the mortal world.
The God of Order's task for him, besides managing the church well, was to find demigods with enough potential to lead to the Sea of Light and become subordinate gods of the main god.
Over the years, the Pope of Order's most favored candidate was the patriarch of the Longshan family.
The patriarch was young, had great potential, and showed little interest in faith, making him a prime target for the Pope of Order's recruitment efforts.
And over the years, the Pope had been working towards this goal.
"Ridiculous!"
"So many true gods, without regard for face, descending with divine power incarnations, this is absurd!" The Pope of Order immediately got up and headed to Longshan Range.
He was also uncertain. If the true gods dared to make such a big move, they must have evidence. If this matter escalates, it would not bode well for Longshan Yuan.
The God of Order values order, and order includes both rewards and punishments.
If Lin Yuan is indeed the culprit behind the disappearance of many church demigod powerhouses over the past few hundred years, the God of Order will certainly act according to the rules, showing no favoritism.
Cold and impartial are words that describe the God of Order.
"I absolutely cannot let Longshan Yuan meet those gods." The Pope of Order decided to protect Lin Yuan.
As long as the two sides did not meet and confront each other, there would be room for negotiation, and it would be easier to explain to the main god later.
Whoosh.
In the blink of an eye, the Pope of Order arrived at Longshan Range.
"I want to see the patriarch of the Longshan family." The Pope of Order went straight to the front of the Longshan Hall.
"See the patriarch?" Longshan Ling and several others immediately stepped forward to greet him. They also knew the Pope of Order's identity and status, not daring to show any neglect.
"Yes."
"The patriarch of the Longshan family is suspected of being involved in the disappearance of demigods over the past few hundred years. Now, many true gods have descended with divine power incarnations, coming to demand an explanation from the patriarch."
The Pope of Order briefly explained the situation.
"What?"
"Your Holiness, there must be some misunderstanding."
Longshan Ling and the others trembled. Hundreds of divine power incarnations of true gods? Those are divine power incarnations of true gods. Even a hint of their aura could sweep through Longshan Range.
Longshan Ling and the others quickly realized that the true gods were willing to come and demand an explanation, likely out of respect for the Church of Order.
Otherwise, with the domineering nature of the true gods, they would have directly wiped out Longshan Range instead of demanding an explanation.
"The most important thing now is to get the patriarch into our church to hide before those true gods arrive."
The Pope of Order quickly said.
The true gods might dare to come to Longshan Range to demand an explanation, but they definitely wouldn't dare to do so in front of the Church of Order.
That would be the God of Order's authority.
"Right."
"Let's ask the church to hide."
Longshan Ling and the others immediately found their backbone.
They quickly led the Pope of Order into the Longshan Hall, arriving at the door of the training room.
"Patriarch, something big has happened."
Longshan Ling immediately used the communication method to contact Lin Yuan, who was in seclusion.
"Hmm?"
Inside the training room, Lin Yuan silently opened his eyes.
Rustle.
The door opened.
Lin Yuan walked out calmly.
"Patriarch."
Longshan Ling quickly explained the situation.
"Patriarch, you need to go to the church to hide quickly." Longshan Ling said anxiously.
No matter how much she admired her patriarch, she didn't believe Lin Yuan could survive in front of the divine power incarnations of hundreds of true gods.
Faced with a life-and-death crisis for the pillar of the Longshan family, how could Longshan Ling not be anxious and panic?
"Patriarch of the Longshan family, as long as you hide in the church, I guarantee those gods won't dare to act recklessly." The Pope of Order also hurriedly said.
"Hide?"
Lin Yuan's gaze was calm and distant as he walked out of the Longshan Hall, looking towards the end of the sky.
Faintly, terrifying and majestic auras were rapidly approaching from a distance, like a mighty heavenly power descending.
"I..."
Lin Yuan raised his right hand, his sleeve fluttering, and gently grabbed forward. When he retracted it, his palm inexplicably held hundreds of 'subatomic' figures.
"Why do I need to hide? In this world, no one can make me submit."
