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

Lin Chen took a deep breath, raised his head, and looked up at the sky.

Although he couldn't see the real sky from here, he knew that two unfamiliar celestial bodies were hanging above the hazy sky outside.

"Is there any way to shoot them down?"

Zi Ling tilted her head and thought for a moment, a hint of helplessness appearing on her little face.

"No, that won't work. They don't have much offensive power..." She paused, then looked at Lin Chen, "Master, your strength isn't enough right now."

Undeterred, Lin Chen pressed on, "What level of strength is required?"

Zi Ling thought about it carefully: "Once Master reaches the eighth rank, he will be able to travel through space. At that time, you can go and see for yourself."

Lin Chen fell silent.

Eighth rank.

True God Realm.

He hasn't even reached the sixth rank yet, let alone Zi Ling, who is only at the seventh rank. If he wants to reach the eighth rank, he must at least upgrade Zi Ling first.

I'm numb.

I'm truly numb.

Today may be the most shocking day of his life.

From cosmic warfare to power systems, from the truth about viruses to extreme weather—everything was beyond his previous life's comprehension, and everything made him feel as insignificant as a speck of dust.

My brain and heart are both a bit overwhelmed.

In the end, he fell completely silent.

It was very quiet around.

Zi Ling stopped speaking and simply floated quietly beside him, keeping him company. A gentle breeze blew by, carrying the unique fragrance of grass and trees from Creation Island.

After an unknown amount of time, Lin Chen's expression gradually changed.

From confusion to clarity.

From shock to determination.

He has already died once.

Having lived for five years in my previous life, I died a miserable death. In this life, I was reborn and have come this far, with many things on my mind.

Although he couldn't be indifferent to life and death at this moment, he would never back down.

The innate courage and spirit of the Chinese people erupted completely at this moment.

What's the eighth rank? What's the Overlord?

He is now progressing towards the seventh rank.

As long as he can continue to upgrade the Creation Pearl, his strength will advance by leaps and bounds.

Forget about god-kings and rulers, forget about cosmic wars—first, survive, then climb up step by step.

He looked at Zi Ling, his gaze intense:

"Ziling, you can still level up, right?"

Zi Ling nodded, her little face showing an expression of matter-of-fact acceptance.

"Of course, Master. I need to reach at least the tenth rank before I can mature. Before that, I need Master's help."

Lin Chen's lips curled up slightly.

"Ziling, you'll help me, right?"

Zi Ling tilted her head to look at him, then suddenly smiled. She flew over, landed on Lin Chen's shoulder, and gently nuzzled his face.

"Of course. You are my master." Her voice was clear and earnest. "I will help you with whatever you need to do."

Lin Chen raised his hand and gently patted her little head.

Come on.

Who cares about cosmic wars, who cares about god-kings and rulers?

Take it one step at a time, and you'll eventually reach that day.

Lin Chen composed himself, and with a thought, he directly released the Creation Pearl.

Although there are still many questions I want to ask Zi Ling: such as why she recognized me as her master, how big is this universe, and just how strong those powerful beings are.

But he knew that these questions couldn't be answered in a short time.

He needs time to process everything that happened today.

In a flash, he was back in the constant temperature workshop.

As soon as I stood still, I saw Qin Lu, Xiao Yan, and the Twelve Golden Flowers sitting together.

Upon seeing him appear, everyone's eyes lit up, and they swarmed around him.

"Honey, are you done in seclusion?" Qin Lu took his arm, her eyes sparkling.

Lin Chen smiled slightly: "Mm."

"Have you improved your skills again?" Xiao Yan leaned closer, her face full of anticipation.

Lin Chen paused for a moment: "I guess so."

"What do you mean by 'consider'?" Qin Lu looked at him suspiciously.

Lin Chen didn't explain, he just smiled and ruffled her hair.

Lin Chen flipped his hand, and twelve crystal-clear Creation Crystals appeared in his palm.

He handed it to the Twelve Golden Flowers and said, "This is a Creation Crystal. It can awaken supernatural abilities in ordinary people, and the awakened talent will not be lower than A-level."

The twelve beauties were stunned for a moment, then realized what was happening, and their eyes lit up instantly.

"Really...really?" a girl asked in a trembling voice, her tone filled with disbelief. "Such a wondrous object exists?"

Lin Chen nodded: "Of course."

As soon as the words were spoken, the eyes of all twelve people reddened almost simultaneously.

Tears streamed down her face uncontrollably.

This damn apocalypse is too hard for ordinary people like them to endure.

Although the constant temperature in this greenhouse can protect you from the extreme cold, it is, in reality, nothing more than a cage.

Humans, in the end, yearn for freedom.

Now, this Creation Crystal can awaken their supernatural abilities, allowing them to move freely in the apocalypse.

No one hesitated anymore.

The twelve people took the spirit crystals, tilted their heads back, and swallowed them all at once.

A moment later, bursts of supernatural energy erupted in the room—fire, frost, lightning, wind blades… twelve different supernatural abilities, none of them were the same, and all of them were A-level!

Qin Lu and Xiao Yan stood aside, dumbfounded.

Lin Chen turned to Xiao Yan, took out a low-level life spirit crystal, and handed it to her.

"This is a Life Crystal. It can enhance the essence of life and upgrade your superpower to S-rank."

Xiao Yan's hands trembled.

Looking at the twelve girls who had just awakened to A-level, and then at the spirit crystal in front of her, how could she still have any doubts?

She took it with trembling hands, tilted her head back, and swallowed it.

Five minutes later, an even more powerful aura rose from her body—S-rank!

Xiao Yan opened her eyes, looked at her hands, then at Lin Chen, and tears welled up in her eyes.

Lin Chen smiled and patted her head.

Then, he turned around and looked at Qin Lu, who had been standing quietly to the side.

He walked over and pulled her into his arms.

Qin Lu leaned against his chest without saying a word.

Lin Chen's voice carried a hint of apology:

"I have a way to raise your talent to SS rank. But right now... I only have one."

Qin Lu looked up at him and suddenly smiled slightly.

There was no disappointment, no jealousy in that smile, only understanding.

She reached out and gently stroked Lin Chen's brow.

"I understand."

She spoke softly, but very earnestly.

She was a mistress. From the very beginning, she knew her place. That kind of treasure that could help someone break through to SS rank—if it were her, she would have given it first to the wife.

Moreover, if Lin Chen really disregarded the women in his family and gave her this only one, she would look down on him instead.

She leaned against Lin Chen's chest, her smile deepening.

This man is worth her bet on.

Lin Chen gently kissed Qin Lu's forehead and said again, "I'll send several teams to help you tomorrow. Your task from now on is to expand eastward and continue collecting crystal cores!"

Qin Lu was taken aback, wanting to refuse: "Our own strength is enough, there's no need..."

Lin Chen pinched her nose, interrupting her: "Don't refuse. You need to know that I don't want any accidents to happen between you two. Besides, you might be refusing thousands of S-class powerhouses."
