Apocalypse: The Primordial Pearl Recognizes Its Master, Starting with Infinite Space

Li Zu stepped over the two of them and headed towards the exit first.

The Devouring Ancestor quickly followed, while the Dark Ancestor paused for a moment, as if making a final decision, before also following.

After they left, deep within the massive trunk of the World Tree, a faintly visible figure slowly emerged, lingered for a moment gazing in the direction the three had gone, and then silently vanished.

When the three of them passed through layers of restrictions and returned to the Ancestral Hall, many ancestors who had been waiting for a long time stood up.

The Illusion Ancestor and the Death Ancestor reappeared in the hall, but the Illusion Ancestor had lost her previous aggressive demeanor and quietly sat back in her seat, with the Death Ancestor sitting down beside her.

The moment Li Zu stepped into the hall, all the ancestors rose simultaneously and bowed in greeting: "Boss!"

Li Zu nodded slightly and walked straight to the main seat to sit down. Devouring Ancestor and Void Ancestor sat on either side.

He glanced around, his gaze lingering on each face for a moment, his voice carrying the weight of time: "It's been a long time since I've seen you all, brothers and sisters. I never imagined that hundreds of millions of years would have passed in the blink of an eye."

The Devouring Ancestor quickly chimed in, "Boss, everyone really misses you."

Li Zu waved his hand: "If you really wanted to see me, you wouldn't have come to me every year when you had something to do."

These words made the people in the hall look somewhat embarrassed, but no one dared to respond.

He didn't pursue the matter further, and changed the subject: "Let's get down to business."

He turned to Dark Ancestor: "Fifth Brother, where is that extraterrestrial powerhouse now?"

Anzu cleared his throat: "That person's whereabouts are uncertain, but according to the latest intelligence, he should currently be active near the Rota system."

Li Zu nodded and turned to Kong Zu: "Third brother, lead the way, I'm going to meet this person."

Kong Zu nodded in agreement.

The Devouring Ancestor and others also expressed their desire to go together.

The Illusion Ancestor and the Death Ancestor exchanged a glance, nodded, and set off with the others.

Meanwhile, the Little Fish was sailing steadily toward the Rota system.

Lin Chen had just finished a period of seclusion. This time, he not only absorbed all the experience from the battle of Water Marsh Star, but also successfully condensed the Dao Fruit of the Law of Thunder.

The Five Elements Thunder Technique has been thoroughly mastered. If Thunder Ancestor dares to take the blow with his physical body again, he will probably be electrocuted on the spot.

"Dad, we're approaching the Rota Galaxy." Little Fish's voice came from the control panel. "This is another major production area for medicinal pills by the God Clan. The garrison and caravans are still operating normally."

Lin Chen nodded.

Last time, Shui Zexing's search turned into failure, and Li Ya and the others' cultivation resources were already running out, so he prepared to continue to seek resources from the gods.

They set their sights on Jinmu Star in the Rota Starfield. At this time, the extraterrestrial powerhouse was hiding in a meteorite cave near Jinmu Star, with more than a dozen beautiful goddesses serving him.

Three days later, Kong Zu, along with Li Zu and the others, also arrived at the same starry sky.

The three parties are rapidly converging. A meeting, whether "unexpected" or deliberately arranged, is slowly taking shape outside the planet Jinju.

Hibiscus, a life-bearing planet covered in green vegetation, has a thick, humid atmosphere that is perpetually shrouded in a thin ring of water vapor.

The gods have been operating here for hundreds of millions of years, turning the entire planet into one of their elixir distribution centers. Transport ships regularly travel back and forth, sending the processed products to the divine realm.

Fearing that it would alert the Protoss garrison here, Lin Chen had Xiaoyu stop far away at the edge of a dense asteroid belt outside the planet's orbit.

As soon as he stepped out of the hatch, on the other side of the planet, deep within a meteorite belt, an extraterrestrial powerhouse suddenly opened his eyes.

Pushing aside the scattered bottles and clothes around him, he stood at the cave entrance, looked in the direction of Jinmu Star, squinted, and whispered, "Finally here."

He casually removed the restriction on the cave entrance, and in a flash, he headed towards Jinmu Star.

Inside a grand hall atop a mountain not far from the Jinmu Star God Clan's camp, Li Zu and the others had already arrived silently and were temporarily settled there by An Zu without alerting anyone.

Kong Zu set up a spatial barrier to isolate the entire hall from the outside world.

A moment later, Lin Chen landed on the outskirts of the camp.

As soon as he stood firm, he sensed something was wrong. Although people were coming and going in the camp and seemed busy, their movements were repetitive and stiff, and their breathing was faint.

He scanned the area with his mental energy, his brow furrowing slightly. The entire camp was covered by a massive barrier, and the busy figures were all illusions.

Just as he frowned, a sinister laugh came from the side: "Hehehe, kid, I've finally waited for you."

Lin Chen turned his head and saw the powerful figure from beyond the realm standing not far away, arms crossed, a confident smile on his lips.

"So it was you, my defeated foe." Lin Chen said calmly.

The powerful figure from beyond the realm froze with a smile, his expression turning grim: "Kid, don't think you're invincible just because you tricked me with the laws of time last time. If it weren't for the suppression this world exerts on me, I would have crushed you, you country bumpkin, long ago."

Lin Chen was not angry; instead, he looked at the other person thoughtfully.

During both meetings, the other party repeatedly called him a "country bumpkin," his words revealing his contempt for this starry sky. Considering that he came from beyond the realm and mentioned several times that his cultivation was suppressed, it seems that the other party does indeed come from a higher plane.

Thinking of this, Lin Chen relaxed, a slight smile playing on his lips: "I'm just a country bumpkin, naturally no match for a master from a higher plane like you. Without the pressure of a different plane, you must be a twelfth-level expert, right?"

The powerful being from beyond the realm felt more comfortable with this flattery, and his tone softened considerably: "Twelfth rank is out of the question; I'm already at the peak of the eleventh rank. As long as I harvest the essence of your world, I can break through to the twelfth rank."

Lin Chen nodded and continued, "During our last encounter, I observed that your combat skills were incredibly refined. I imagine your world's cultivation system must be even more sophisticated..."

He was interrupted halfway through his sentence by a heavy aura pressing down from the side.

Lin Chen glanced towards the mountain peak, where several figures stood, the leader of whom was Li Zu.

He didn't deliberately release any pressure, but just standing there made the surrounding air feel heavier.

The powerful figures from beyond the realm also followed Lin Chen's gaze and looked over. When they saw Li Zu and the others, they smiled faintly, showing no sign of tension or surprise.

The Void Ancestor, Devouring Ancestor, Light Ancestor, Dark Ancestor, Wind Ancestor, Thunder Ancestor, and Poison Ancestor stood in a row, while the Illusion Ancestor and Death Ancestor stood a little further away.
