Age of Evolution#

Chapter 1001: 104 Chapter 1001: 104 Ai Wei’er shot up from her seat upon hearing the report.

“Who did you say it was?”

“It’s the Black Robe Army of the Fierce Fire Ancestor!

All of them are incredibly powerful, there’s no way to resist them!”

Ai Wei’er turned pale, accepting that the situation was irredeemable.

Although the Fierce Fire Ancestor was not heavily involved with Napolet’s affairs, nobody could stop what he desired to happen, and there was never any reason to fight.

If he dared to dispatch his troops to decimate the Ai family, it was clear he was resolute in his decision to eliminate them.

Ai Wei’er was clear about the likely cause, it may have to do with mass buying Crystal Nucleus.

“It’s over, the Ai family is done for!

…

No one in Napolet can stop the Black Robe Army.”

Sitting in her room, Ai Wei’er quickly issued an order.

“Announce to everyone, do not resist.

Everyone who can escape, go.”

The servant also knew the severity of the situation, spoke no redundant words, and immediately went to convey the orders.

Ai Wei’er would wait in her boudoir, she didn’t wish to run, and there were no places to run to.

If this was destiny, she was willing to bear all the consequences.

Inside God Realm, it was a crucial moment of Lin Zhen’s cultivation.

Five years, for Lin Zhen, were equal to one hundred and twenty years!

By his tenth year of cultivation, Lin Zhen had broken through from World King to Longevity level.

His realm had reached the fifth layer, the Longevity realm.

As expected, this layer once again boosted Lin Zhen’s Star Power by 10%.

This unmistakeably proved one thing, Lin Zhen was naturally gifted in the Holy Land of Falling Star Lake, surpassing his third senior brother Lei Luo.

As a patron of the Holy Land, Lei Luo’s talents were unquestionable, he was currently at his Upper God Peak, which proved the point.

However, Lin Zhen did not recall anything about Lei Luo at this time and continued cultivating.

By the thirtieth year, Lin Zhen had progressed from Longevity to Three Flowers level.

The reason why so much time was spent on this cultivation was that Lin Zhen had to repeatedly ensure the absence of any flaws in his breakthrough, which essentially enhanced his strength to the maximum.

Otherwise, Lin Zhen would only need a few years to break through from Longevity level.

Being extra careful was beneficial, and by the twenty-fifth year, Lin Zhen had finally realized a slight flaw in his cultivation that he had initially overlooked.

Because of this, Lin Zhen spent another five full years to remedy the slight flaw.

After addressing this issue, Lin Zhen finally broke through to the Three Flowers level, which gave him a one-time 10% enhancement advantage.

After this enhancement, Lin Zhen completed the cultivation of the sixth layer of his Divine Domain, this allowed him to increase his efficiency by 60%!

But this was not the end, Lin Zhen utilized the rest of his time to prepare to break into the God Transformation Period.

He needed to break through from Three Flowers to God Transformation, it is essential to ensure that there are no flaws in the Three Flower Stage.

Forty years…

fifty years passed, and Lin Zhen did not break through.

Sixty years…

seventy years passed, and Lin Zhen still did not choose to break through.

Eighty years…

ninety years passed, and Lin Zhen still remained at Three Flowers Peak.

One hundred years!

It was only after a hundred years that Lin Zhen finally readied himself for the final preparations.

The Flower of Spiritual Mind’s slight flaw was also completely remedied by Lin Zhen.

Don’t underestimate this slight flaw.

If it couldn’t be perfected, Lin Zhen’s breakthrough could only achieve 9% enhancement.

Once 9% was hit this time, there would be no chance of achieving 10% in another round.

After a hundred years, the moment Lin Zhen broke through, there was finally another perfect increase!

God Transformation Realm’s perfect enhancement!

This was already the seventh layer of the Divine Domain.

After completing this enhancement, Lin Zhen could reach a 70% enhancement of Star power when his domain was open!

Lin Zhen didn’t know whether anyone had achieved this before, but even if they had, it was definitely extremely rare.

Extremely rare!

At this stage, the Crystal Nucleus could no longer aid Lin Zhen’s cultivation, he had more practical things.

That was the Star Crystal of the Star Fruit Tree!

The mutated Star Fruit Tree had been sustaining the whole God Realm, serving as the world’s core.

A vigorous vitality was spreading out from the tree, ensuring that any life within the tree’s scope needn’t worry about physical decay or life passing.

This was the land of true peace, heaven!

And the Divine Sense Crystals, God Realm Crystals, Divine Stone Crystals hanging on the tree were like luscious fruits, exuding a captivating fragrance.

All the Crystal Nucleus provided by Ai Wei’er to Lin Zhen was used up by the time Lin Zhen broke through to the Three Flowers level.

Up till then, Lin Zhen still hadn’t regained his memory.

In his recollection, he was still a refugee from a small city on the Napolet Star, overrun by mutated beasts, with no parents and no children.

As for the origin of the Star Fruit Tree, he didn’t know, nor did he wish to investigate, as long as it was useful to him, that was enough.

For the next twenty years, Lin Zhen sat under the Star Fruit Tree, occasionally taking a Star Crystal to slowly recover his realm.

Lin Zhen, one could say, had lived three lives.

In his first life, Lin Zhen lived in confusion, with no accomplishments, and died full of resentment.

In his second life, the life where Lin Zhen was reborn, he seized every opportunity he could and kept everyone who could possibly stay with him by his side, including his parents and the woman he loved.

It could be said that he lived a perfect life with no significant regrets.

And in this third life, his memory was sealed away.

In this life, Lin Zhen’s mind was as calm as still water, unmoved by anyone or anything.

His entire focus was on his cultivation.

In this lifetime, Ai Wei’er was the only person he knew; he didn’t know a second person.

And it was precisely this pure life that provided Lin Zhen with many insights.

These insights were not manifested in his martial arts, but in his heart.

In this life, he had no concerns, his heart was cold and ruthless.

But ruthlessness was precisely what a martial artist needed to possess the most.

Lin Zhen did not walk the path of ruthlessness, but ironically comprehended the law of ruthlessness.

Under the Star Fruit Tree, Lin Zhen, who had already recovered to the God Realm Peak, was quietly cultivating.

Threads of sword intent were permeating in front of his body.

With the cold and ruthless understanding of this life, he had a whole new understanding of martial arts.

“The sword, it’s a very ordinary weapon that everyone uses.”

“But it’s also very unusual because no one can truly master it.”

“When everyone draws their sword, they hesitate.

Martial Artists can attack their enemies, but cannot attack their friends.”

“Even if one’s heart is ruthless enough to draw a sword against a friend, it’s still hard to do so against a loved one.”

“Some cold-blooded and ruthless people can even kill their own kin, but they can’t draw a sword against themselves.”

“With reservations in their hearts, they can never truly comprehend the essence of the sword.

Even the slightest hesitation can prevent the sword from unleashing its full power, and that’s people’s regret in wielding the sword.”

“As for me…Lin Mu, I have no father, no mother, no child, no spouse, and no loved ones.

I don’t even know why I exist.

I don’t understand why I live.”

“There’s only one thing that seems important, that seems to guide me in pursuit, but is it really important?”

“No!

None of that matters.

Whether I achieve it or not, nothing in this world matters to me.

Everything, even my ruthless sword, is insignificant!”

“Ha!!!”

“Heart Sword!

Ruthlessness!”

“Slash~~~!!!”

The last two words were a roar from Lin Zhen’s throat.

At this moment, Lin Zhen’s heart was cold, ruthless, void of heaven and earth, void of self and enemy!

Om~~~!!

A Sword Light cut through the sky!

This sword, with no weapon, was just a strike of the Heart Sword, just an eruption of an atmosphere.

But this simple Sword Qi actually caused the God Realm to crack!

Lin Zhen’s God Realm is perfect, comparable to the world of deities, and its stability surpasses that of the original world space.

The fact that such a world is being sliced by Sword Qi is almost impossible.

This is the true essence of the sword!

At this moment, Lin Zhen’s attainment in swordsmanship, had wholly surpassed his spear skills, becoming his strongest technique.

This sword also shattered many things.

The first thing shattered was the barrier sealing Lin Zhen’s memory.

Chris was the first to speak: “Congratulations, master, on comprehending the martial intent of ruthlessness.

It’s not easy to comprehend it.

People aren’t emotionless like plants or trees.

With this martial intent, the master’s swordsmanship has reached the peak.

This sword has also unsealed your memories.

Congratulations on regaining your memory.”

Memories surged like a tide in his mind, rising instantly, recovering instantly.

“So, I am not Lin Mu, I am Lin Zhen.

I came here to find the Sovereign Weapon, and to practice in the Divine Domain.”

“But I must thank this life’s memories.

They made me ruthless, enabling me to grasp ruthlessness.”

“This method is indeed a divine technique with endless applications.”

“Just like the mirror shattered by my sword, there’s no need to obscure it now.”

Lin Zhen’s sword not only shattered the seal on his memories, but also broke the edge of the Divine Realm, which was the mirror in Ai Wei’er’s room.

********

The situation inside Ai Wei’er’s room was very dangerous.

The Ai family’s servants, who had sworn to protect their lady, were forming a circle around Ai Wei’er in the middle of the crowd.

And outside the servants, hundreds of people in black robes were closing in.

The two leading World King Peak level experts were threatening Ai Wei’er.

“Ai Wei’er, since we have dared to come, we certainly have sufficient evidence.

I advise you to just confess where that man who needs the crystal nucleus is now?

As long as you confess, we will not only spare your family but even let your family business extend beyond the Napolet Star, to the entire Tianhe Empire, entire Sanjiang Star Domain Federation, and even to the entire Fire Kirin Empire!”

“To control the commercial lifeline of a high-level civilizational universe country, you wouldn’t even dare to dream about it.
