Chapter 21 Divine Lattice (Please Subscribe)
The sky was gloomy, the stars hanging high.
Lin Yuan walked out of the cave, in a pleasant mood.
Returning to the Ninth Rank not only meant more time to open up Derived Space Layers.
It also symbolized Lin Yuan's qualifications and confidence to traverse this world without fear.
Compared to other gods, Lin Yuan wasn't burdened by faith, so long as he was among mortals—
Even a Prime God wouldn't dare to make a move against Lin Yuan.
How would they dare?
With Lin Yuan's "Blood Rebirth" and "Elemental Body" two major defensive Divine Skills combined,
Even if faced with an assault and siege by twenty-four Prime Gods, he could last a very, very long time. Find more to read at My Virtual Library Empire
And he might not even die at all; at most, he would just be sealed.
The aftermath caused during that period; to say it would cover more than half of the mortal realms would not be an overstatement.
At that time, countless lives would fall and perish.
For Lin Yuan, this wasn't considered a loss;
The worst he would do is give up spreading his Law in this world.
That's all.
But for the gods, this was all about the foundation of their faith.
Before Lin Yuan descended, the Prime Gods of the Ocean of Light and the Abyss of Darkness, even if they started a divine war, would not let the flames of war spread to the mortal realms.
They all existed by the faith of mortals and wouldn't do something that destroyed their foundation.
But Lin Yuan was different.
He didn't care about the life and death of mortals.
This was also the drawback of the path of faith.
With the power of faith, Seventh Rank half-demigods could more easily raise a Divine Kingdom. How much trouble would those Seventh-Rank Peak Evolvers of the Main World have to go through to open up an Inner World?
But in this realm, one only needed to gather enough mortal faith.
But one's success and downfall could also hinge on faith.
The flaw of the path of faith was obvious: one could be both uplifted and beholden to the will of mortals.
Of course, waging war with the twenty-four Prime Gods was an extreme situation, and Lin Yuan wouldn't do it unless absolutely necessary.
It could only be said that Lin Yuan, having recovered his Ninth Rank strength, now had the qualifications to negotiate with the twenty-four Prime Gods.
Lin Yuan tended to prefer that the twenty-four Prime Gods remain unaware of his existence until he reached his limits.
"These years of madly collecting divine crystals from various churches must have caught the attention of the True Gods of the Ocean of Light..." Lin Yuan thought to himself.
It couldn't be helped, even the most fanatic demigod wouldn't target a True God Church to plunder,
Demigods merely wanted to quietly collect faith. As for standing against True Gods? They weren't that foolish.
But Lin Yuan didn't regret his actions; without those divine crystals, his recovery to the Ninth Rank would have been delayed by at least another fifty or sixty years.
And the churches that Lin Yuan targeted were backed by True Gods who were not so dominant. It was fine as long as he didn't draw the attention of the Prime Gods.
"The number of Spatial Layers has exceeded two hundred thousand all at once..." Lin Yuan's Consciousness Incarnation descended into his Inner World, carefully feeling the fluctuations of the multiple Spatial Layers.
While the Spatial Layers required Lin Yuan to open them one by one, similar to realms, once a Spatial Layer was opened, he would fully grasp the mysteries of that layer.
Just like a strand of Lin Yuan's Spirit Will descending into the Demon Jade Space, even without the support of the many Spatial Layers of the Inner World, he could still easily occupy layers upon layers of space.
"This world has a rich foundation, with at least trillions of Spatial Layers..."
After stepping into the Ninth Rank, Lin Yuan's sensitivity to Spatial Layers became clearer, and he could even faintly sense the existence of two extremely powerful Spatial Layers.
That should be where the Ocean of Light and the Abyss of Darkness were located.
The Ocean of Light and the Abyss of Darkness... where the gods resided, not existing within the main space.
Over the long years, many powerful demigods desired to know the exact location of the Ocean of Light and the Abyss of Darkness, where all the gods lived.
Many demigods traveled across half the mortal realms and still couldn't find it.
In fact, the Ocean of Light and the Abyss of Darkness were not within the mortal realms at all.
However, with Lin Yuan's current sensitivity to Spatial Layers, as long as he wished, he could enter the Spatial Layers where the Ocean of Light and the Abyss of Darkness were located at any time.
"Given the current rate at which I'm opening Spatial Layers, barring any accidents, before the time limit of my stay is up, reaching millions of layers should be a safe bet," Lin Yuan thought.
This was almost equivalent to the speed of ten thousand layers per year, overwhelmingly surpassing countless Ninth Rank Evolvers of the Main Universe.
The Tianyu Clan's Hunyi opened up over thirty million layers, but how much time did he spend? And how many treasures and resources?
Even so, averaging it out, he was far from reaching ten thousand layers per year; at most, it was about a dozen layers per year.
"As long as I reach the Myriad Heavy Realm of the Ninth Rank, then Hunyi will be no threat at all." Lin Yuan was very confident, especially since, in this traversal, he had awakened the great Physical Divine Skill "Elemental Body."
The most terrifying aspect of the "Elemental Body" lay in its growth potential,
In theory, once Lin Yuan stepped into the Twelfth Rank, he could also be immune to 90 percent of the rule attacks from a Supreme Being.
"Xuanhuang Secret Realm..." Lin Yuan, through the Door to the Myriad Realms, faintly felt his Taiyang Divine Spirit in the Xuanhuang Secret Realm.
Xilan was still fleeing in desperate straits under Hunyi's attack and Lin Yuan faintly sensed that Xilan's aura had weakened somewhat. This weakening was not about physical strength or soul,
but a weakening of the spirit will, such that it affected the other Avatars.
"Hang in there for another two years, Xilan. Even if this Avatar of yours perishes, I will make sure to bring your treasure back," Lin Yuan silently thought to himself.
Although he had deceived Xilan about being a 'senior,' as long as the other party could hold on until Lin Yuan finished his traversal.
