Age of Evolution#

Chapter 1037: Chapter 1040: Lin Zhen comes out!”_1 Chapter 1037: Chapter 1040: Lin Zhen comes out!”_1 Lin Zhen’s God Realm was undergoing earth-shattering changes.

The black hole acted like a giant leak, devouring all the surrounding reckless energy.

With the energy no longer wreaking havoc, the continent within the God Realm began to recongeal.

This would be the last transformation of the God Realm.

Using the World Stone, which had recently completed its changes, as a focal point, a vibrant light swept across, raising mountains, and gathering oceans.

The lengthy continental line continued to extend indefinitely, millions, tens of millions, hundreds of millions of kilometers outward.

Lin Zhen’s physical body was sitting under the Star Fruit tree, feeling the changes of the World Stone.

…

The World Stone had stopped evolving and Lin Zhen, after all, did not manage to reach the Divine Stone Peak—he was still stuck at the late stage of Divine Stone.

From the late stage of Divine Stone to the peak, an extremely large amount of energy was needed—Lin Zhen himself didn’t expect he would need to expend such a colossal amount of energy.

Perhaps other martial artists would consume very little, but because Lin Zhen’s foundation was too high and solid, the requirements for his later cultivation process were increasing geometrically.

The last bit of energy merely brought Lin Zhen’s Star Power up a bit more—it happened to reach the level of 10 billion.

Quite fortuitous, right at the mark.

10 billion Star Power was the minimum standard to become a Lower God.

Unlike the progression at other stages for martial artists, where they rarely graduate at the minimum standard and almost always surpass it, there are many among the Lower Gods who meet this exact standard!

Devine Stone Peak warriors without the ability to self-breakthrough would seek God Crystals and upgrade themselves to deities at the minimum standard!

Those who upgrade in this manner, after being promoted, would almost uniformly have 10 billion Star Power.

Because their own abilities are insufficient, they would reach the minimum standard after being promoted.

Thus, they would still have to rely on God’s crystals if they want to upgrade to a Middle-Level God.

The standard at that time would still be the minimum.

Although such deities are at the bottom of the deity spectrum, they are still much sought after by countless people.

After Lin Zhen’s Star Power reached 10 billion, he knew that now he had the power to contend with some low-level deities!

As for the Complete Strongmen, they should be weaker than him now.

The minimum of a deity is 10 billion, and the maximum of a Complete Strongman is also 10 billion.

If a demigod can cultivate to completeness and achieve 10 billion Star Power, they still have a chance to become a god, and it would also be a self-breakthrough to godhood, but this is undoubtedly extremely difficult.

The growth of Lin Zhen’s Star Power finally stopped.

If he could break through to the Divine Stone Peak, his Star Power should have increased a bit more, but at this point, it was already enough for Lin Zhen.

10 billion Star Power, which is far higher than when he usually opens the Divine Domain.

He was stabilizing his realm for the last time.

From the God Realm Peak to the late stage of Divine Stone, this huge leap required Lin Zhen to adapt to many things.

With the progression of strength, his combat techniques and methods have also greatly increased their strength.

Now, apart from waiting for his God Realm to be fully incubated, Lin Zhen is training in the Dimensional Arena.

From the Demigod Stage to the King-sealing Powerhouses, to the Hall of Fame Level and Finally to the Complete.

Incredibly strong opponents appear one after another, battling Lin Zhen in the virtual world.

The first to appear was the Demigod Stage.

Lin Zhen had previously fought with ordinary Demigods and felt no pressure at all, but he still wanted to see what difference there was between himself and an ordinary Demigod now.

However, when the indistinct Demigod opponent appeared, Lin Zhen was disappointed.

Because the Demigod in front of him was simply too weak.

He had asked Chris to set up an opponent based on the average strength of a Demigod, but this strength… he could hardly stand to look at it.

From 50 billion Star Power to 100 billion Star Power, this leap in degree is not as simple as one plus one equals two.

The current Lin Zhen could kill ten Lin Zhens before the breakthrough in a blink of an eye!

The Demigods he had previously looked down on, Lin Zhen directly killed them with a God’s Will of Divine Might!

With a shake of his head, which was just slight enough, the next challenger was the King-sealing Powerhouses.

With a glance, God’s Will of Divine Might, they were also slain!

Next was the opponent at the Hall of Fame Level.

This virtual Hall of Fame Level opponent was slightly weaker than Bai Yunyan.

In the past, Lin Zhen would have needed to put in some effort to defeat him.

But this time, Lin Zhen delivered three strikes of God’s Will of Divine Might and, by the third time, his opponent was defeated!

“If I still have any weaknesses at the moment, it might be my Spiritual Power.

Due to the breakthrough in my realm, I have not had the time to cultivate my Spiritual Power.

Now that my realm is stable and becoming a deity is temporarily impossible, I should gradually cultivate and find an opportunity to break my Spiritual Power through the Cui Mang Rank.”

The Spiritual Power at the Sky Blue Peak is enough for self-protection under the deities, since even if it’s at a Complete Level, their spiritual power is nothing more than at the Sky Blue Peak, and there are many people at this stage, but none could break through to Cui Mang.

The Spiritual Power of the Cui Mang rank is what a deity would possess.

However, for the current Lin Zhen, it’s not impossible to reach that level; it would just be very difficult.

The next opponent to appear, a Complete Strongman.

The minimum for the Complete Level is 7.5 billion Star Power.

All the Complete Strongmen have their Star Power basically between 7.5 billion and 10 billion.

This time, Lin Zhen did not rely on God’s Will of Divine Might, instead, he was engaged in direct combat.

This time, Lin Zhen mainly aimed to familiarize himself with martial arts.

He didn’t focus on killing quickly, but rather on prolonged combat.

The Complete Strongman, who ranked approximately 8.5 billion, finally fell under Lin Zhen’s spear.

However, the condensation of the God Realm wasn’t entirely complete yet, so Lin Zhen summoned another Complete Strongman.

The Complete Strongman that Lin Zhen summoned each time was different: some used swords, some were galactic beasts, and some were Spiritual Mind Masters.

There were even times when Lin Zhen failed because he didn’t want to crush his opponents with Star Power, but rather to familiarize himself with martial arts.

In the early battles, Lin Zhen even lost a few rounds.

However, in all the battles that followed, Lin Zhen didn’t lose once.

Until the God Realm was entirely condensed!

With a rumbling noise within his body, a ring of light swept through Lin Zhen’s entire inner world, and the God Realm finally stabilized!

Centered around the World Stone and the Star Fruit Tree at its core, the diameter of the continent reached ten light years!

A continent spanning ten light years was an incredibly large world.

Even the Solar System, with a diameter of only 0.003 light-years, would not even cause a splash if placed on Lin Zhen’s continent.

There were mountains and oceans on the continent, along with wind, rain, thunder, and lightning.

It was a well-established new world.

In the sky, seven huge Constant Stars illuminated every corner of the continent.

Some rose in the east and set in the west, while others rose in the south and set in the north.

Day and night alternated, going from heat to cold.

Lin Zhen swept his Spiritual Power over the continent, feeling joy in his heart.

This was his inner world, a world large enough to accommodate billions of people.

As soon as this world appeared, it began to birth basic life forms.

Perhaps one day, it would become a vibrant human world, giving birth to countless civilizations.

But all that lay in the future.

For now, Lin Zhen had completed his breakthrough, and it was almost time for him to go out.

Calming his mind, Lin Zhen opened the Dimensional Universe.

“Oh!

The battle has reached such a dangerous point?”

Seeing the state of the Dimensional Universe, Lin Zhen immediately frowned slightly.

He had thought that even if he fell, the two sides should still be deadlocked at the Heavenly River.

But he didn’t expect that Augustine’s betrayal had caused the situation to collapse, leading to the defeat of the Ground Clan at the Heavenly River and their being trapped in the Holy City.

Even being trapped in the Holy City, they seemed to be on the verge of being unable to hold on.

“The future of a martial artist is incredibly vast.

ƝονǤ0.ᴄ0

War should not be the main theme for martial artists.

That would only bring endless harm and pain.”

“There is an unwritten agreement between the deities, not to interfere in wars among martial artists below the level of a deity.

So, if I intervene, no one should have anything to say, right?”

Lin Zhen stood up and stepped out of his God Realm.

After leaving the God Realm, Lin Zhen was surrounded by misty Heavenly River.

It was where he had taken refuge in the God Realm.

Although the place was completely deserted, a faint scent of blood still lingered.

It had been several months, and the place was still the same, which showed how fierce the battle had been.

Lin Zhen lifted his leg, Luo Heavenly Escape!

With one step that spanned millions of kilometers, in an instant, Lin Zhen was already outside the West Gate of the Holy City!

********

The Complete Strongman, Lou Jialuo, was responsible for the Endless Species’ attack on the western direction.

The original nine Great Battle Zones had been abandoned.

Now, the attack on the four gates of the Holy City was led by Complete Strongmans.

There were five Complete Strongmans among the Endless Species participating in the war: Da Fentian, King of Titans, Yao Guang, Lou Jialuo, and Earth Treasury who was the overall command.

Earth Treasury and Dong Xuehan were responsible for overall affairs, while Yao Guang, Da Fentian, King of Titans, and Lou Jialuo were responsible for the attack on the four gates.

Earth Treasury’s task was clear: whoever could first pierce the protective shield and capture the city gate would be the one to gain the greatest credit.

He would propose to the Emperor, to reward the one who accomplished this.

The reward was very attractive, likely the prospect that Complete Strongmans aspired to the most: the opportunity to ascend to deity!

The Endless Species had secret methods that could help Complete Strongmans make the final breakthrough, but the cost was enormous and wouldn’t be given out casually.

This time the Emperor had placed a heavy bet: as long as they won the war, besides Earth Treasury firmly obtaining one spot, there were two more spots that Earth Treasury could decide who to give to.

Up to this point, Earth Treasury had not decided who to give those two spots for the breakthrough to, and this made every Complete Strongman more determined.

Lou Jialuo was determined to get a spot.

Earth Treasury had said whoever took the city gate first would get the reward, and Lou Jialuo was determined to do this.

On the opposing side, those guarding the Holy City were led by the Complete Strongman, Shadow Kill.

The four gates of the Holy City were guarded by Nine Profound, Duobi, Shadow Kill, and Qiong Jing.

If it was any other opponent, Lou Jialuo might not be confident, but he was highly confident against Shadow Kill.

Because he and Shadow Kill were very familiar, they were even friends.
