Chapter 434: The Majestic Chaos
Chapter 434: The Majestic Chaos (End of Chapter)
Within the jurisdiction of the Star Alliance.
On a massive planet, the Four Divine Kings, each with a true height of a million miles, sat silently.
Ever since the two-dimensional world came to a close and 'White Paper' escaped the cosmos, the Four Divine Kings had remained seated here.
The loss of their avatars in the two-dimensional world had dealt a heavy blow to the Four Divine Kings.
It was far more than just the permanent loss of a portion of their mental will and the destruction of a supremely powerful artifact suited to them.
The most significant impact was the severe shock to the mental state of the Four Divine Kings.
As perfect eleventh-tier legendary powerhouses, unique and unparalleled in the universe, the Four Divine Kings dared not claim to be the strongest among the eleventh-tier beneath the Overlords. Still, they were undoubtedly among the top ranks.
However, being crushed by a human civilization in the two-dimensional world, that 'Blood Rain', was something the Four Divine Kings found hard to accept.
The evolvers of human civilization were inherently weak.
Ninety-nine percent of them couldn't even reach the first tier, let alone compare to the starting point of unique life forms.
Yet, the Four Divine Kings had been defeated by such a human evolver.
If it had merely been a loss, the Four Divine Kings wouldn't have been so shaken.
While it was true that human civilization evolvers started from a low base, they had incredibly high potential; otherwise, how could nine twelfth-tier powerhouses have emerged? But the Four Divine Kings' defeat had been a crushing one, so much so that it couldn't even be considered a proper battle.
In the eyes of that human, 'Blood Rain', the Four Divine Kings weren't even worthy opponents.
Just then, a voice echoed throughout the planet and reverberated through spacetime.
"Four Divinities, the past is done; there's no need to dwell on it any longer."
The voice of the Star Alliance's Overlord rang out.
"Overlord, is there truly such a monstrous eleventh-tier life form in our universe?" The Four Divine Kings still struggled to comprehend.
"Anything is possible," the Star Alliance's Overlord replied after a moment of silence. "That two-dimensional world could only completely suppress power below the twelfth-tier. Perhaps that human, Blood Rain, possessed a treasure that allowed him to escape the suppression of the two-dimensional world to some extent."
This was the conjecture made by many peak races' Overlords and ultimate beings as they reviewed the events following 'White Paper's escape from the universe, trying to explain why that human, Blood Rain, possessed such extraordinarily abnormal strength.
The strength that caused the Four Divine Kings' heart to tremble with fear, even years later, from just a glance by that human, Blood Rain, was far beyond what a normal eleventh-tier life form could achieve.
Hearing the Overlord's words, the Four Divine Kings felt the weight on their hearts lessen slightly.
If it were truly as the Overlord speculated, then their defeat wasn't too shameful.
"Four Divinities, what you need to focus on now is the upcoming supermassive battlefield," the Star Alliance's Overlord said. "To open that supermassive battlefield, my Star Alliance has paid a hefty price, and so have the other peak races. If we can gain the initial dominance of that supermassive exotic battlefield, I can promise to make up for the loss of your mental will to the best of my abilities."
Any life form that fell within the 'White Paper's' two-dimensional world would permanently lose a portion of their mental will.
This lost portion of mental will couldn't be restored, but it could be compensated for in other ways, though it would come at a cost.
"Thank you, Overlord. I will give it my all in the upcoming supermassive battlefield," the Four Divine Kings said solemnly.
"Good," the Star Alliance's Overlord nodded slightly. "After this incident and once you've made up for your losses, your foundation should be sufficient for you to attempt the breakthrough to the twelfth-tier ultimate."
"Breakthrough to the twelfth-tier ultimate?" The Four Divine Kings' eyes lit up with fervor.
The sole aspiration of any eleventh-tier life form was to reach the twelfth-tier ultimate.
Only by attaining this level could they break free from the constraints of the river of time and aspire to survive through one universe era after another.
"There's no need to concern yourself with that human, Blood Rain. Who knows, he might not even fare better than you on the path to the ultimate," the Star Alliance's Overlord said.
"Yes," the Four Divine Kings nodded, their gaze regaining its confident gleam.
"You—" The Star Alliance's Overlord was about to say something more when suddenly—
A vast and overwhelming aura of origin swept through the entire universe.
"What is this?" The Star Alliance's Overlord's expression turned solemn as he gazed into the distance.
"Is there a life form attempting to reach the ultimate?" The Four Divine Kings also realized what was happening. This boundless aura of origin was so pervasive that even eleventh-tier life forms could sense it clearly.
Only when a life form was attempting to reach the ultimate would the chaos void origin respond so intensely in an instant.
Not long ago, a tenth-tier evolver from human civilization had comprehended the time rule and attempted to reach the eleventh tier, causing the chaos void origin to infuse him with power, but the commotion then had been far less intense than it was now.
"Who's attempting to reach the ultimate?" The Four Divine Kings looked at the Overlord.
They could only sense the omnipresent aura of the chaos void origin, vast and overwhelming, but due to the vast spatial maze in between, they couldn't pinpoint its source.
"Within the jurisdiction of human civilization," the Star Alliance's Overlord said after a moment of silence. With their twelfth-tier perception of spacetime, they could barely discern through the spatial maze that the source of the chaos void origin seemed to be near the human civilization's jurisdiction.
"Human civilization's jurisdiction? Is it that 'Blood Rain' attempting to reach the ultimate?" The Four Divine Kings paused, their minds automatically jumping to this conclusion.
The overwhelming, heaven-shaking waves of the chaos void origin instantly attracted the attention of all twelfth-tier life forms in the universe, and many eleventh-tier powerhouses also reacted with astonishment.
"Reaching for the ultimate! A life form is attempting to reach the ultimate!"
"To reach for the ultimate, one must at least comprehend the fifth level of spacetime fusion."
"Reaching for the ultimate... I wonder if I'll be able to reach the threshold of attempting the ultimate before my lifespan runs out."
Since the birth of the universe, every long while, a life form would attempt to reach the ultimate, but as most attempts ended in failure, many eleventh-tier powerhouses were familiar with these waves.
"The source is within the jurisdiction of human civilization?"
In the heart of the Insectoid race's territory, countless Insectoid Queens opened their eyes, gazing toward the source of the chaos void origin.
"Is human civilization about to give birth to a tenth Overlord?"
Many Insectoid Queens frowned deeply. Human civilization was already powerful enough; if they were to have a tenth Overlord, the Insectoids would be hard-pressed to breathe.
In the Skyfeather race's territory.
The various Skyfeather ancestors wore grave expressions. Normally, a human civilization's eleventh-tier perfect evolver wouldn't be allowed to attempt the breakthrough to the ultimate unless they had a high chance of success.
After all, failure meant the permanent loss of that eleventh-tier perfect evolver.
Death resulting from a failed attempt to reach the ultimate couldn't be undone, as the life imprint would briefly jump out of the river of time. Success, on the other hand, meant breaking free from the river of time.
Then, a terrifying rift in the cosmic space tore open above him.
The essence of the Chaos Void descended, and an intangible oppressive might began to spread throughout the entire universe.
"Hm?"
Lin Yuan looked up at the rift in the cosmos above. The terrifying tear in the fabric of reality continued to expand, surpassing ten light-years in mere moments. The profound and mysterious aura of the Chaos Void rushed towards him.
"Is that the origin of the Chaos Void?" Lin Yuan gazed at the rift, beyond which a boundless and infinite space faintly appeared, carrying an omnipotent and supreme power.
The influx of Chaos Void origin was undoubtedly sourced from its origin, and during the transition to a higher life realm, a temporary conduit to the origin of the Chaos Void would form to facilitate the infusion of this origin energy.
The cosmic space continued to tear, eventually halting when it reached a hundred light-years.
"A hundred light-years?" Lin Yuan immediately understood that this was probably the limit of how much Chaos Void origin he could endure during this breakthrough.
Compared to the ten-light-year rift that occurred during his ninth-tier to tenth-tier breakthrough, the current hundred-light-year rift seemed only ten times larger, but the amount of Chaos Void origin being poured in was far more than a hundred or a thousand times greater.
"The origin infusion has begun."
At the moment the cosmic rift stopped expanding, Lin Yuan realized that what he would face next was the infusion of Chaos Void origin.
Whether it was the infusion of cosmic origin or Chaos Void origin, it was all determined by the comprehensive conditions of the lifeform in question.
Factors such as the strength of one's physical body, soul, and internal world all played a role.
The richer the foundation, the larger the rift that would be torn open, and the more origin one could endure and absorb.
Among these factors, the breakthrough from the eleventh tier to the ultimate tier would trigger a Chaos Void origin infusion far surpassing that of the tenth-tier to eleventh-tier transition.
"I only have three hundred and thirty-three seconds. Within this time, I must absorb as much Chaos Void origin as possible," Lin Yuan thought to himself.
This opportunity was a once-in-a-lifetime occurrence for almost all lifeforms in the universe—the moment they attempted to break through to the eleventh tier.
Afterward, even if one successfully entered the twelfth tier and their internal world transformed into an internal universe, they could only slowly absorb the Chaos Void origin.
The boundless and endless absorption within these three hundred and thirty-three seconds would never happen again.
Whoosh!
Within the cosmic rift that spanned over a hundred light-years, the profound and mysterious conduit to the Chaos Void origin began to pour forth an overwhelming amount of Chaos Void origin energy.
Rumble~ The influx of origin energy was akin to the collapse of an ocean, terrifyingly rapid. An area with a radius of a hundred light-years was instantly filled with pure Chaos Void origin power.
"Absorb it all!"
Lin Yuan's physical body, soul, and internal world ravenously absorbed the Chaos Void origin.
The Chaos Void origin energy was extremely pure, requiring minimal refinement. As long as it was absorbed into his body, it would swiftly transform into his own energy, driving the enhancement of his foundation.
"Hm?"
After only twenty seconds, Lin Yuan sensed that his internal world was reaching a 'full' state, clearly having reached its saturation point.
"Continue absorbing," Lin Yuan did not stop. At this moment, his internal world gave him a sense of being on the brink of a critical threshold, as if taking one more step would break through some kind of restriction.
**Galaxy Domain**
The nine peak powerhouses of human civilization stared blankly at the cosmic rift that spanned over a hundred light-years, as well as the endless Chaos Void origin pouring into the depths of the spatial dimensions.
"A spatial rift spanning over a hundred light-years... Is this no different from an eleventh-tier lifeform attempting to reach the ultimate tier?" The Virtual God powerhouse was stunned.
Breaking through to the ultimate tier was not a rare occurrence for peak powerhouses.
However, Lin Yuan was not attempting to reach the ultimate tier; he was breaking through to the eleventh tier.
The only difference between Lin Yuan and those attempting to reach the ultimate tier was that he had not yet emerged from the River of Time and undergone the ultimate metamorphosis.
"This..."
Even Xia Qin, one of the peak powerhouses, was shocked.
Before Lin Yuan's eleventh-tier breakthrough, Xia Qin had anticipated that the event would undoubtedly create a significant commotion, especially considering the spectacle that occurred during his tenth-tier breakthrough.
However, even with those expectations, Xia Qin dared not guess that Lin Yuan's breakthrough would be on par with attempting to reach the ultimate tier, as it was now.
When an eleventh-tier lifeform attempts to reach the ultimate tier, their ultimate metamorphosis can invoke a Chaos Void origin infusion that surpasses their own foundation.
Yet, Lin Yuan, who had not undergone the ultimate metamorphosis, was able to trigger a commotion that rivaled that of attempting to reach the ultimate tier. How was this possible?
The nine peak powerhouses of human civilization stood in the void, their eyes fixed on the hundred-light-year rift as Chaos Void origin ceaselessly poured through it.
All the origin energy was imprinted with Lin Yuan's life imprint. Even if he couldn't absorb it all, it would quickly dissipate and scatter.
Compared to the astonishment of the nine peak powerhouses of human civilization, the peak powerhouses and ultimate beings of the various pinnacle races in the universe were feeling increasingly uneasy.
Especially the Insectoid race, the Skyfeather race, and other forces that were completely hostile towards human civilization—they absolutely did not want to see human civilization produce a tenth peak powerhouse.
If human civilization were to give birth to a tenth peak powerhouse, it would have a profound impact on the war situation, especially with the imminent opening of a super-large-scale battlefield.
"What do we do now?"
"Stop it? During the attempt to reach the ultimate tier, one has to endure the backlash of the River of Time, but they are also protected by it. Even if we break free from the constraints of the River of Time, we are still far from being able to shake the River of Time itself."
"Then what? Are we just going to stand by and watch human civilization gain another peak powerhouse?"
The peak powerhouses of the Insectoid race, the Skyfeather race, and others quickly discussed their options.
"Let's go to the River of Time."
The Insectoid Queen spoke up.
"Yes, the River of Time."
The other peak powerhouses nodded in agreement.
By going to the River of Time and standing on its banks, they might not be able to observe the details within the River of Time.
However, if a lifeform successfully broke free from the River of Time's constraints and ascended to the twelfth tier, they would be able to witness it from the shore.
