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

Two hundred million crystal cores poured out simultaneously, creating a breathtakingly spectacular scene. Countless crystal cores, sparkling and translucent, converged into a dazzling torrent in the air, which was then entangled and absorbed by countless roots controlled by Zi Ling.

The Tree of Creation trembled violently.

Ancient patterns lit up on the tree trunk, and purple light climbed from the roots to the crown, dyeing the entire sky a deep purple.

The starlight filtering through the branches and leaves transformed into tangible pillars of light, striking the island and causing the ground to tremble slightly.

The scene before them changed, and Zi Ling had brought Lin Chen to the void where her true form was.

At this moment, the Creation Tree, rooted in the void, was much larger than Lin Chen could see with his naked eye, and its shape had long since spread out to who knows where.

At this moment, Zi Ling also flew up from Lin Chen's shoulder, hovering in the void, her hands clasped together, her eyes closed, her little face full of solemnity.

Her body was also glowing, gradually becoming solid from transparent, and the patterns on her wings were clearly visible, like two carefully carved crystals.

The torrent of crystal nuclei lasted for a full half hour.

The moment the last crystal core was swallowed by the tree roots, the trunk of the Creation Tree suddenly expanded, its crown grew much taller, and purple light poured down from the branches and leaves, dyeing the entire void purple.

At that moment, Lin Chen received a message in his mind about the upgrade of the Creation Pearl.

[Primordial Creation Pearl - Bound to Host's Soul - Level: Eight]

It can unlock the host's potential and awaken S-level or higher superpowers.

It can consume energy to increase the level of a certain superpower by +1 (cooldown period: 3 days).

It can help the host gradually transform the energy in their body into divine power.

It contains a "new world" that already has the rudiments of laws. The current space is a galaxy (equivalent to the Milky Way).

Creation Spring: Daily output: 100 Creation Crystals (users can awaken supernatural abilities and become loyal to the host); 100 Life Crystals (users can improve their life level and become loyal to the host, currently capped at S level); 10 Intermediate Life Crystals (users can improve their life level and become loyal to the host, currently capped at SS level).

Note: The host's ability level cannot exceed the current level of the Primordial Pearl.

Lin Chen's consciousness began to expand and extend outward involuntarily.

The first thing they "saw" was the sun of the new world, followed by the life-bearing planet where Creation Island was located.

Consciousness continues to move forward.

Then he saw the stars.

It wasn't the cold observation through a telescope, but an immersive experience where countless stars shone "before his eyes," scattered across the void like grains of sand in a desert, too numerous to count.

He saw the nebula. Within the pillars of dust of the Eagle Nebula, new stars were being conceived, their gas-encased embryos emitting a faint infrared glow.

He saw planets. Countless planets, revolving around countless stars.

Some are covered by thick ice sheets, the entire planet a white wasteland; others have liquid methane flowing on their surfaces, with meandering rivers flowing into black oceans.

There are also some planets that look just like Earth.

The planet's continental outlines were both strange and familiar, and unknown grasses and small trees grew on the land.

Lin Chen's consciousness flowed like an invisible river between these planets.

After a long while, he was awakened by Zi Ling: "Master? Master! Are you alright?"

Lin Chen took a deep breath and nodded. His voice was a little hoarse: "It's...too shocking. Is this really a galaxy? My brain can't process it all. Just how big is the real universe...?"

Zi Ling blinked, and the corners of her mouth slowly turned up.

"Master, you are the master of this space. You can go and visit those planets yourself."

Lin Chen nodded: "I will go, no rush. We'll talk about it when you can nurture all kinds of life up there."

Zi Ling nodded her little head and clenched her little fist: "That's true, those planets are still too monotonous. Once they can support life, we'll definitely make this universe more colorful."

Lin Chen smiled and nodded: "Then you'd better keep it up."

Zi Ling urged, "Master, you should first raise one of your special abilities to the eighth level, so that I can slowly convert the energy in your body into divine power."

Upon hearing this, Lin Chen no longer hesitated and used the energy of the Creation Pearl to raise the Time Field to the eighth level.

The moment his superpower level broke through, a power far stronger than before surged into his body, gradually transforming his original superpower energy into an even more powerful force.

Throughout the process, he felt no discomfort whatsoever. On the contrary, he could clearly feel himself becoming stronger, with his physical body and mental strength being enhanced at an alarming rate.

Lin Chen was astonished as he felt the surging power within him: "You've 'injected' divine power into my body?"

Zi Ling shook her head: "It's not injection, it's transformation."

"How does divine power arise through normal cultivation?"

"You need to continuously compress the original supernatural energy to its limit and then give it its own supernatural properties to transform it into divine power. To put it simply, divine power is a kind of energy that has been highly compressed and stabilized. Usually, this kind of cultivation takes a very long time. Being able to complete the compression within ten thousand years is already considered genius."

Lin Chen asked, "How long will this take?"

"At the current pace, it will take about a year."

"Does that mean my efficiency has increased tens of thousands of times?"

Zi Ling smiled and nodded, "That's one way to understand it. However, my transformation speed will increase rapidly, and Master will truly become a god in less than a year!"

Suppressing his excitement, Lin Chen asked, "So, can I fly into space now?"

"You can fly briefly now, but it consumes a lot of divine power and is not conducive to the conversion of divine power. I do not recommend that you do this, Master."

Lin Chen was a little disappointed: "In that case, we'll just have to wait a bit longer. Zi Ling, you'd better do your best. My dream of flying depends entirely on you."

Zi Ling said with a grin, "Master can fly inside the space without consuming any power."

Lin Chen was speechless and started to back down: "Uh...it feels different. Anyway, good luck, I'm off!"

After saying that, he disappeared from Creation Island and returned to the camp in Jicheng.

--------------

At this moment, in the Jicheng camp, countless superhumans had set up camp, with seven or eight people sitting around a campfire, chatting.

His face was full of smiles, and the despair he used to feel about the end of the world was gone.

Jiang Yingyue was idly strolling around the camp when a conversation among a group of soldiers caught her attention.

"The tigers in Changbai Mountain are huge, their claws are as big as washbasins, and one swipe can send a truck flying. I wonder if they're going to advance there tomorrow. If they really do, everyone be careful!" said a burly man dressed in animal skins.

"Really? You've seen it?" The other person clearly didn't believe it.

"Seriously, if we hadn't run fast, we would have been crushed to death..."

Jiang Yingyue suddenly darted behind the group, her eyes sparkling, and asked, "Hey, you guys said there are tigers in Changbai Mountain? Really?"

The burly man was taken aback, looking at her with some awe: "It's true, there were wild tigers roaming the mountains before the apocalypse. I encountered a mutated one and had to escape from there..."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yingyue jumped up excitedly: "That's great!" and ran back to Lin Chen's tent.
