Chapter 597: Chapter 598: Heading to Kylin Transformation Pool


    The sun rises in the east and sets in the west in a day, but there is no sun in the wine-red neb of the Sagittarius.


    Flowers bloom and wither in a year, but in this void, people have already forgotten what year it is today.


    Since the Lin Zhen incident, Heavenly Gate has be much calmer.


    During the ck Hole Period, Ke Xiangnan remained in first ce. He even failed twice at one point, but he eventually seeded in passing through the Heavenly Gate, bing the first person in the New World to do so during the ck Hole Period.


    After Ke Xiangnan, the situation at Heavenly Gate blossomed.


    Many martial artists made breakthroughs, one by one beginning to pass through the Heavenly Gate.


    There are almost no World King powerhouses left, and there are not many Domain Kings remaining, even those in the Star System Stage have begun to pass through inrge numbers.N?v(el)B\\jnn


    And after the ck Hole Period, there was the second, third….


    Time passed, one hundred years after another….


    The poprity of Heavenly Gate gradually declined. Although some martial artists were still rushing, it was far from the speed of those who left.<div>


    Either through the Heavenly Gate or returning to their hometown, more and more martial artists made their choices.


    Once stretching for tens of thousands of kilometers, the queue now has only a few kilometers in length.


    Looking far away, the once-glorious Heavenly Gate had be empty and deste, as if no more miracles would ever happen again.


    Lin Zhen, who oncepeted with Ke Xiangnan for the title of first ce in the ck Hole Period, had beenpletely forgotten in the passing of hundreds of years.


    Even Ke Jianglong, who was sealed by the god Zhuiyue, was hardly remembered by anyone.


    Some neers didn’t even know about the incident, only asionally hearing about it from the elderly who still stayed at Heavenly Gate, as if there was once a powerful ck Hole Period, sealed in some space, never to emerge again.

    Silent!


    Endless, without boundaries, dead silence!


    Only Lin Zhen’s body was drifting, seemingly eternal.


    He didn’t know how long it had been, maybe a day, maybe a hundred years.


    He felt that he might be dead, or perhaps still alive. In the long, almost eternal years of drifting, the fact that he could still hold on without copsing was itself a miracle.


    He hoped for something to sense, something to do, to know whether he was still alive.


    Until one day…


    “Giggles!”


    A crispughter sounded.


    Lin Zhen suddenly opened his eyes, revealing a look of ecstasy in his gaze.


    Thisughter, like that of a little girl, was as heavenly as music to Lin Zhen’s ears.


    “Who is it?”<div>


    Lin Zhen’s eyes followed theughter, and saw in the distant space, a little girl in colorful clothes sitting on a grid-like beam of light.


    The little girl looked only four or five years old, with two cute goat horn braids.


    Her big eyes and round baozi face were clean and white, clearly a future beauty.


    His already wilted spirits suddenly revived, Lin Zhen raised his hand and waved to the little girl: “Little friend, who are you? Come to your brother.”<div>


    Ever since he met Yaya on Baiyn Star, Lin Zhen had a strange fondness for little girls, but unfortunately, Yaya was no more.


    This little girl was very likeable.


    Upon hearing Lin Zhen’s question, the little girl suddenly pouted: “Master, don’t you recognize me anymore?”


    “You are? Are you Chris?”


    “Yes, yes, it’s me, Master. It’s been a long, long time since west met.”


    “Indeed, it’s been such a long time that I almost forgot about you.”


    “Master, it’s not that Chris didn’t apany you, it’s just because you are in a different dimension, and the Dimensional Universe system cannotmunicate with you. I couldn’t make any contact with you either. So for all these years, I’ve been working hard to connect with you, and finally seeded today.”


    Lin Zhen seemed to be sobering up from his trance: “You can connect with me now? How did you do it?”


    “Master, it’s called upgrading. I don’t know when, but I can think for myself. This is called awakening for us intelligent beings. Only after awakening can an intelligent being be a true independent life form, otherwise, I would be just a program.”


    “You mean, you can think independently?”


    “Yes, I know so much more now. It’s precisely because I know so much that I can connect with you. Master, you can ask me anything you don’t know.”


    Looking at this brand new, little girl-like Chris, Lin Zhen felt a surge of excitement in his heart: “That’s great, do you know any way for me to leave this space?”


    “I’m sorry, Master, I can chat and entertain you, but the treasure that sealed youes from the Original World, and it was sealed by a World King. Unless your power surpasses that of the World King, you cannot break this space.”<div>


    “But I can’t cultivate now, how can I break this space?”


    “Master, I really can’t do anything about it. Although I have my own thoughts, I still exist in an intelligent system and cannot provide you with any actual help.”


    Lin Zhen sighed helplessly and nodded, “Alright then, let me ask you again, how long have I been sealed?”


    “Master, I can answer that. From the time you entered this space to now, a total of seven hundred years have passed.”


    “Seven hundred years!”


    Lin Zhen was struck with astonishment. As he struggled with drowsiness, he almost forgot about the passage of time and had no idea how long he had been here.


    However, he never would have imagined that seven hundred years had passed.


    “So, isn’t the Heavenly Gate about to close?”


    “Yes, the Heavenly Gate will close. Less than twenty years remain, precisely eighteen years and sixteen days.”


    Upon hearing this number, Lin Zhen’s heart skipped a beat.


    He had already spent more than two hundred years in the Heavenly Gate, and after careful calctions, his rebirth had already been almost a thousand years.


    Less than twenty years remain until the Heavenly Gate closes, and if Lin Zhen cannot pass through it within those twenty years, he will be trapped in the New World forever.


    To stay in the New World means he cannot enter the Longevity Realm. Even if Lin Zhen could break through the Different Dimension space and leave, he could only cultivate to the highest pinnacle of World King in New World.<div>


    What’s the point of having ten thousand years of life, if he can’t reach the Original World? In the end, he would still die.


    Moreover, his life is not just his own. He has a family, with parents and children who depend on him.


    Not to mention, there’s still a wife in the Original World, with Little Phoenix waiting for him.


    Lin Zhen’s thousand-year-old promise with Little Phoenix was alsoing to an end, with less than thirty years remaining.


    Under any circumstances, Lin Zhen must not stay here; he needs to figure out a way to leave.


    “Aside from my own breakthrough, is there any other way out?”


    “I cannot be sure about that, master, but even the treasures of the Original World have their limits. In theory, if your treasure is struck by a strong enough force from the outside, it could still be broken.”


    “Outside forces…”


    Lin Zhen thought for a moment, then suddenly shouted, “I remember now! My split body is still wandering outside. It’s in the Chaotic Star River and has reached the pinnacle of the Infant Stage!”


    Lin Zhen eagerly told Chris, “Chris, remember to keep me awake at all times. No matter what, don’t let me fall asleep.”


    “Rest assured, master, I have recently learned many new jokes. I can tell you stories, it will definitely keep you refreshed.”


    That said, Chris began to tell Lin Zhen a story.


    “It’s said that in the Original World, there was once a mountain, and on that mountain, there was a temple. In that temple lived an immortal. Since there was both a mountain and a temple, from then on, that temple was known as the Mountain Deity Temple.”<div>


    Lin Zhen nced at that seemingly innocent and cute little girl and felt that her intelligence upgrade was perhaps not such a good thing.


    Diverting his thoughts, Lin Zhen moved his spiritual power to the side of his split body.


    Lin Zhen’s battleship collision left it damaged, and as his split body sank into sleep, the battleship was left unmanned – eventually sumbing to an asteroid strike, never making it to the Dark Tunnel.


    The split body awoke from its slumber and didn’t even have time to check the condition of the battleship. It used theary Instantaneous Movement to leave the ship immediately.


    Lin Zhen still had to return through the Light Tunnel, but by now, it was unlikely anyone would be standing guard outside the Light Tunnel to block him.


    His goal was crystal clear: the Kylin Transformation Pool of the Fire Kirin Empire.


    To break the treasure of the Original World, Lin Zhen needs powerful forces. His current split body’s strength may not be enough, so he needs even stronger forces.


    That force woulde in the form of a Domain King level power after the Kirin Transformation of his split body.


    This is the only thing Lin Zhen could hope for.


    He dared not seek out his family yet. Before he had enough power to protect them, Lin Zhen was not willing to let his family step forward, as it was too risky.


    As expected, no one guarded the Bright Tunnel. From the Bright Tunnel to the Fire Kirin Empire, Lin Zhen’s split body moved recklessly and hurriedly, arriving in just one month.


    Once he arrived, Lin Zhen immediately shifted to the Kirin Holy Star and then instantly transferred himself to the front of the Imperial Pce.


    “Halt! Who dares to intrude into the Imperial Pce?”


    Two guards stopped Lin Zhen.


    Lin Zhen flicked his hand, throwing a token to the two guards, and then immediately transferred himself to the Kylin Transformation Pool.


    The token was the pass that Tian Haoyu had given him previously. Tian Haoyu had already gone to the Original World, and now, his grandson had seeded as emperor of the Fire Kirin Empire.


    Seeing the token left by their ancestor emperor, the guards did not dare neglect their duties and hastily reported it.


    Lin Zhen, on the other hand, stood by the pool.


    The pool, filled with spiritual energy and containing mysterious substances, could enable his Fire Kirin body to evolve into a real Gxy Beast.


    “Finally, I’m back. The power of a Domain King awaits me now!”


    Completely disregarding everything else, Lin Zhen immediately revealed his Fire Kirin form and soared into the air, plunging headfirst into the Kylin Transformation Pool!

I am flying home on the 21st, arriving in the evening. In these few days, I will try to post at least one chapter a day. Because once day breaks, I will enter Zhangjiajie and stay in the mountains, making it impossible to write.
