Age of Evolution

Chapter 605: Chapter 606: Original World, here I come!

Upon arriving at the Heavenly Gate, Lin Zhen stood at the point of impact of the Heavenly Gate.

This was his third time standing here. The first time he attempted to break through the Heavenly Gate was a trial, the second time his attempt was sabotaged by others, and now, during his third attempt, he stood here with his identity as a Star System Stage cultivator, and finally, no one interfered.

Xiao Nuan stood far away, watching Lin Zhen and waving goodbye to him.

Raising his head, taking a deep breath, Lin Zhen soared into the sky!

With a staggering 670,000 Star Power circulating, Lin Zhen was like a rocket shooting straight into the sky, unstoppable!

500,000 kilometers, 700,000 kilometers!

900,000 kilometers! One million!

The minimum requirement for a Black Hole Period cultivator to impact the Heavenly Gate is 100,000 Star Power, for a Star System Period it is 300,000, and for a Star Domain Stage, it is 1,000,000.

Lin Zhen was currently at Star System Level 4, and impacting the Heavenly Gate hardly took any effort at all. He crossed a million kilometers in an instant!

The light in front of him flickered, and for the first time, Lin Zhen saw the top of the Heavenly Gate.

The Heavenly Gate was held up by the Life Pillar. At the topmost part, there were clusters of substances similar to Cloud Mist.

Above the Cloud Mist, a golden gate was wide open, and in front of it sat an old man with white hair, smiling at Lin Zhen.

Lin Zhen’s body came to a halt and landed on the Cloud Mist.

The surrounding rich spiritual energy swept over him, making him feel relaxed and at ease.

“Mr. Zhuiyue!”

Lin Zhen immediately greeted Zhuiyue with a fist salute, having seen this man twice before. Zhuiyue was the Guardian of the Heavenly Gate and a formidable expert in the Longevity Realm.

“Lin Zhen, you’re here.”

“Yes, thank you, Lord Zhuiyue, for suppressing Ke Jianglong. You’ve helped me release some of my anger.”

“Hahaha! As the Guardian of the Heavenly Gate, I naturally cannot tolerate others breaking the rules. Lin Zhen, I’ve seen everything that has happened in the New World, and your accomplishments are entirely the result of your own relentless efforts, completely unrelated to anyone else.”

With that said, Zhuiyue pointed behind him: “Do you see the gate behind me? That is the Gate of the Original World. The Life Pillar only lasts for a thousand years before collapsing, closing the Gate of the Original World, while the growth of the Life Pillar requires ten thousand years. This is the reason why the Gate of the Original World opens only once every ten thousand years.”

“So, can I enter the Original World now?”

“Ah, what’s the hurry? You have no money on you now, right? Are you planning to go to the Original World to steal and plunder?”

“I have money, I have currencies from various countries and Cosmic Crystals.”

“That’s just wishful thinking of people from the New World. The currency of the New World is worthless in the Original World. Even Cosmic Crystals will suffer a significant depreciation, as the most abundant thing in the Original World is Cosmic Crystals.”

“Cosmic Crystals aren’t scarce? Aren’t they only produced when a world is created?”

“That’s correct, but don’t forget that the Original World is spherically shaped, and its boundaries are constantly expanding into the New World. This boundary is constantly nurturing numerous Cosmic Crystals every moment. In your New World, you may have heard of the theory that the universe is infinitely large, right?”

Lin Zhen nodded. He had indeed heard of it.

“This theory comes from the expansion of the Original World, which leads to the expansion of the New World. That’s why there’s the concept of an infinitely large universe.”

Lin Zhen was suddenly enlightened; that’s how it was!

“Furthermore, there are many World King powerhouses in the Original World, and the world within their bodies is constantly nurturing Cosmic Crystals. Thus, Cosmic Crystals are only considered a material or consumable here, not used as a currency.”

“So, what is the currency of the Original World?”

“It’s this.”

As he spoke, Zhuiyue raised his hand, revealing a copper coin-like object.

“This is a copper coin among the original coins. The coins of the Original World have the imprint of the Original World’s aura. A copper coin is worth one unit.”

Lin Zhen took the copper coin and examined it. Indeed, its material and aura were vastly different from that of the New World, and it would be impossible to replicate it within the New World.

“Above Copper Coin, there are Silver Coins, Gold Coins, and Crystal Coins. I’m giving you this Copper Coin, remember to pay me back one unit.”

Without being overly polite, Lin Zhen put the copper coin in his storage pouch: “Alright, then. I’ll keep this coin, lest I starve to death after arriving in the Original World.”

“Hahaha! Then feel free to keep it. Below the Heavenly Gate, those World Kings amassed huge wealth by collecting numerous Cosmic Crystals to bring to the Original World, yet they didn’t know that those things are not considered money in the Original World. Cosmic Crystals can only be sold to wholesalers by the ton. Whether hundreds of billions of Cosmic Crystals can buy a house in the Original World is still unknown, haha!”

Zhuiyue laughed heartily, but Lin Zhen didn’t find it amusing.

In this case, hadn’t everyone from the New World who had gone to the Original World become penniless?

Zhuiyue seemed to see Lin Zhen’s thoughts: “You’re right, you are indeed penniless. What’s more, Lin Zhen, you should know that the martial force you possess now is not very significant in the Original World.”

“The biggest difference between the Original World and the New World is the gravity of the Original World, which is ten times that of ordinary planets in your world. In such an environment, martial artists from the Original World are constantly training themselves. Moreover, the Dark Energy in the Original World is also ten times that of the New World, so the speed of our cultivation is also ten times faster than that of martial artists in your New World.”

“Therefore, martial artists from the Original World are generally ten times stronger than those from the New World!”

Lin Zhen found this hard to believe after hearing it. The martial artists from the Original World he had encountered, like Peacock, had only about 20,000 Star Power, at Tier Nine Star System. How could that be considered ten times stronger than the New World?

However, when he voiced this question, Zhuiyue laughed: “The person you mentioned is not a significant figure at all in the Original World. Furthermore, as far as I know, ordinary Tier Nine Star System martial artists in your world only have two or three thousand Star Power. I heard that in your arena, a person with 20,000 Star Power can dominate an entire warzone.”

Lin Zhen was left speechless. The other party was absolutely right.

“Besides, true martial artists in the Original World possess cultivation methods. You’ve also encountered two of them.”

“Who?” Lin Zhen asked.

“One of them is Ke Xiangnan, who competed with you. The reason he could cultivate to 100,000 Star Power during his Black Hole Period was because he obtained the Original World’s cultivation technique.”

Lin Zhen had already thought of Ke Xiangnan, but he really didn’t know who the other person was.

“The other one is far away but also right in front of you.”

“Are you talking about yourself?” Lin Zhen asked.

“This old man wouldn’t use himself as an example. The other person is you.”

“Me?” Lin Zhen was suddenly surprised.

“That’s right, little guy. You have Star Power that doesn’t belong to your own Dantian, which is why you have such high Star Power. If I’m not mistaken, you already possess a world within you!”

Lin Zhen’s face changed immediately, the secret of the Dark Star Space was never discovered by anyone, but to his surprise, it was seen through by Zhuiyue.

“Don’t panic. People can’t deceive the World Power. When you get to the Original World, you’ll know that there are more people in this situation than just you.”

“Can I go to the Kirin clan now?”

“Hehe, I’m afraid you don’t have that treatment. If you were the first in the Black Hole Period to pass through the Heavenly Gate, someone would naturally receive you, even if you were the second in the Black Hole Period. But since you passed through at the Star System Stage, do you know how many Star System Stage people went in before you? So if you want to go to the Kirin Clan, you’ll have to find it yourself!”

Zhuiyue stretched leisurely at this point, “Ah, it’s been many years since I’ve spoken so much at once, it’s really tiring.”

“Senior, do you explain so much to every martial artist who passes through the Heavenly Gate?”

“This old man is not that enthusiastic. I only told you so much because we are destined. Alright, hurry up and enter, remember to be smart when you arrive at the Original World. This isn’t the New World, any expert who comes out can wipe you out.”

With that, Zhuiyue leaned against a cloud and began to rest, muttering to himself.

“As soon as the Black Hole appears, there is no one here at the Heavenly Gate. Guarding a gate that nobody will pass through, isn’t this the most boring thing in the world?”

Seeing that Zhuiyue seemed not to be paying attention to him anymore, Lin Zhen stopped asking questions, put away a piece of coin, and turned to enter the golden gate.

In a flash of white light, this gate formed the barrier between the Original World and the New World.

The next moment, Lin Zhen had arrived in a new world!

White clouds floated in front of him and the Gale blew fiercely. His body began to fall uncontrollably!

The gravity on the ground was so strong that it made flying incredibly difficult for Lin Zhen.

Forcing himself to twist his body and hover through the air, but not only did his speed slow down a lot, but his consumption of Star Power also increased by tenfold!

“As expected, this is the Original World with its extremely strong gravity, which is not suitable for flying. I must land!”

Lin Zhen looked down and gradually saw the ground.

It was an endless expanse of land.

The spot where Lin Zhen appeared after passing through the Heavenly Gate was in the atmosphere above the ground.

According to what Zhuiyue had said and what Lin Zhen knew, the Original World was a huge sphere, with everyone living inside it. It had vast land and a vast starry sky.

In the New World, the starry sky envelopes the land, while in the Original World, the land envelops the starry sky.

Lin Zhen did not choose the direction of the starry sky. According to his knowledge, most people in the Original World lived above the ground.

As his body plummeted, he finally landed successfully.

“Boom!”

A cloud of dust rose, and Lin Zhen felt his feet vibrate slightly, but only a shallow mark was left on the ground.

Like a missile, Lin Zhen slammed down, but he couldn’t shake the ground, showing that the ground was the barrier between the New World and the Original World, which was much sturdier than he had imagined.

He had adjusted his position in the air and chose a wide road instead of a remote wilderness.

Standing on the ground and looking up, Lin Zhen was captivated by the sight before him.

The endless land, and the planets suspended at the zenith formed a magical landscape.

Some planets seemed to be only a few thousand or tens of thousands of kilometers away, and one could even see the mountains on the planets from the ground.

Blue, orange, black, some planets even had Star Rings, and it was so beautiful.

The abundant Dark Energy around formed endless spiritual energy, and taking a deep breath made him feel refreshed.

“Indeed, it’s a treasure land for cultivation! No wonder no martial artist in the Original World wants to go to the New World. Compared to the Original World, the New World is nothing.”

Lin Zhen secretly decided in his heart that he must make a name for himself in this more vast and exciting place than the New World.

“Cooing, cooing!”

Behind him came a beast’s neigh, followed by a loud shout, “The Wood Prince is on his way, unrelated people avoid!”

Lin Zhen turned around and saw a huge carriage coming through the air.

Eight dragon horses pulled the carriage, with a Domain King level coachman. The carriage was a small palace with colorful clouds surrounding it and the sound of drums and music.

Each dragon horse stepped on streaming light, hovering three feet above the ground, flying swiftly!
