Chapter 1249: Chapter 1252: Sovereign Monument, Illusion Town_1 Chapter 1249: Chapter 1252: Sovereign Monument, Illusion Town_1 The Wan Ren Mountain was retracted and the chubby star-child on the planet finally took a deep breath.

He had just been struggling under the weight of Wan Ren Mountain, but in a blink of an eye, he had recovered.

Lin Zhen could clearly sense his divine body energy rapidly restoring, at a speed no slower than his own.

“This guy, with his huge body, is easily targeted by my top-quality gravitational field.

But without this domain armament, it would be unimaginable hard to defeat him.”

Such a top-quality ox-like martial artist also had distinct characteristics and the difficulty in defeating him was immense.

Unfortunately for him, Lin Zhen’s armament heavily restrained him, leaving him at the mercy of Lin Zhen.

…

However, the chubby star-child did not seem to have a care in the world.

Once he regained his breath, he chuckled at Lin Zhen.

“Phew, that was close earlier, but I wasn’t worried at all.”

“And why is that?” Lin Zhen asked out of curiosity.

“Because I didn’t sense any killing intent from you.

Otherwise, I would have run away long ago.

I’ve seen all sorts of people on the Path of the Sovereign over the years.

I can tell apart those who want to kill me from those who simply want to teach me a lesson.”

Lin Zhen was slightly surprised.

He had shown his intent to kill quite openly, yet the star-child had sensed it clearly.

This was definitely a trick worth mentioning.

“What’s your name?”

Lin Zhen asked.

“I’m called Baozi.

My mom named me when I was very small.”

Lin Zhen looked down at the chubby star-child from the sky.

If one were to look closely, he seemed like a teenager, save for his body that was much larger, making it hard to associate him with a child.

“Wouldn’t you be discovered here?”

“Of course not, who would expect a planet to be a person?

If you hadn’t been standing at the highest point, making me a bit uncomfortable, I wouldn’t have made any sound.”

“Why would you hide here?”

Upon hearing this, Baozi became somewhat angry: “I can’t survive on the Path of the Sovereign.

The people here are all freaks!”

Baozi turned into his chubby boy form at this point and stood next to Lin Zhen, pointing towards the huge road ahead.

“This endless road is the Path of the Sovereign, most quasi-sovereign strongmen in the universe are gathered here.

In order to vie for a higher ranking on the stele, they battle every day in the Illusion Town.

I’ve been in there several times and was defeated without any suspense.

It’s left me somewhat discouraged.”

Listening to this, Lin Zhen became interested and was about to inquire further when Chris spoke again.

“Master, I can explain this to you.

You’ve forgotten that I inherited a lot from Sovereign White Bird and know quite a lot.”

“Alright, then explain to me.

What are the Illusion Town and Heaven Stele that he’s talking about?”

“The Illusion Town is a virtual realm created by the Universe’s strong ones.

You can obtain points by battling in there.

You gain points by killing enemies and lose points when you’re killed.

The higher the points, the higher your name will be on the stele, which is called the Sovereign Monument.”

“Basically, the names of all the universal strong ones, and even those of the sovereign strongmen, have appeared on the Sovereign Monument.

This is because only by obtaining high rankings on the monument can the quasi-sovereigns have the qualifications to contend when the Sovereign God Crystal appears.”

Lin Zhen was somewhat confused: “The appearance of the Sovereign God Crystal?”

“Yes, when a sovereign dies, the god crystal they had doesn’t go to the one who killed them.

This god crystal, under the compulsion of the cosmic origin forces, reappears at a place called the Eternal Mountain.

This Eternal Mountain will descend upon the Dark Light Realm, which is the end of the Path of the Sovereign.

At that time, only the top-ranked quasi-sovereigns can enter the Eternal Mountain to compete.

Those ranked after the thirtieth won’t even have a chance to contend, so these quasi-sovereigns fight desperately to obtain higher points in Illusion Town.”

This time, Lin Zhen mostly understood.

It turned out it wasn’t easy being a quasi-sovereign either.

At the quasi-sovereign level, their sole pursuit is probably to become a sovereign strongman.

Only after becoming a sovereign would one be considered to have reached the pinnacle of the universe.

These eighty-one people could basically be referred to as the rulers of the universe.

The quasi-sovereigns, on the other hand, could only be considered as strong ones who, though powerful, could not yet control their own destiny.

This, of course, also included Lin Zhen, who had just arrived on the Path of the Sovereign.

He was at the bottom of the pack.

“Baozi, where is the Sovereign Monument located?”

“The Sovereign Monument can be found everywhere.

As long as it’s within the Path of the Sovereign, you can see it anywhere.

Moreover, once you’re here, you can also view the Monument’s status through your dimensional universe system.”

Lin Zhen immediately had Chris check, and she soon reported back.

Within his dimensional universe, he could indeed see a huge monument covered in countless names.

With a rough scan of his spiritual power, Lin Zhen discovered that there were almost one hundred thousand names here!

This was an incredibly shocking number.

Lin Zhen had previously considered the fact that the universe had existed for countless years and only a handful of sovereigns had emerged, so the number of quasi-sovereigns must have been high.

He had not expected it to be this high though.

According to the rules of the Eternal Mountain, only those in the top thirty of the Heaven Stele could compete for the God Crystal.

This made the situation akin to a countless army trying to cross a single log bridge.

Looking down the Heaven Stele, the first name was Jinpeng.

Surprisingly, the second person was a woman named Sunflower Scar.

Zi Xinghe …

Tianxing …

Feng Dao Ancestor …

Mountain Stone …

Lin Zhen looked at the names, his eyes becoming dazzled after a while.

It was only when he reached around the ninetieth thousand position that Lin Zhen found Baozi’s name.

Lin Zhen looked at him in disbelief: “With such a high divine body energy, you’re only ranked around ninety thousand?”

Lin Zhen could hardly believe it.

Just based on Baozi’s energy, eliminating him should not be an easy task.

Baozi grumbled: “Of course I’m not that useless.

In Illusion Town, I’m about average in terms of strength, but I’ve offended some jerks before.

They gang up on me whenever they see me, and I was eliminated by them several times.

If not for that, I would be at least in the top forty thousand by now.”

Lin Zhen nodded his head.

It seemed that politics existed wherever people did, not even the quasi-sovereigns were exceptions.

The quasi-sovereign strong ones may seem powerful on a usual basis but once they reach the Path of the Sovereign, where the entire universe of quasi-sovereign strong ones congregate, their status doesn’t mean much.

They are all on equal footing and just as susceptible to politics and conflicts as ordinary people.

“Bro, how about we go explore the Illusion Town together?” Baozi excitedly suggested to Lin Zhen.

“Dying in there doesn’t carry any punishment except a small entry fee.

I am familiar with everything there.

With our combined efforts, maybe we can break into the top thirty thousand!”

“But isn’t it only the top thirty who have the chance to contend for the Sovereign God Crystal?

What’s the use of being within thirty thousand?”

“We’ll get there gradually.

After all, we have infinite lives.

Everyone is just waiting here, advancing their ranks slowly.

Maybe one day, we’ll really enter the top thirty.
