"Kong, Your Excellency Kong Shan Yu, you... what did you say?"

"Lin Yang, he..."

"Can he instantly kill an Old Ancestor?"

The White Fatty Old Man and Song Qingfeng's heads buzzed; they were completely stunned by Kong Shan Yu's words!

Yes, stunned!

Given their status and strength, they could be said to not know what fear was.

But at this moment, they were truly stunned.

Their hearts trembled, and their souls shivered.

The way they looked at Lin Yang became as horrified as if they had seen a demon god.

Kong Shan Yu chuckled, "Your Excellency Lin Yang once Lian Sha seven Alien Race Old Ancestors, all with instant kills!"

Although he hadn't participated in that decisive battle, Zi Yun had exaggeratedly described it to him afterward, leaving him incredibly shocked at the time.

Now, he found an opportunity to tell others, speaking as if he had witnessed it himself, thoroughly astounding the White Fatty Old Man and Song Qingfeng.

"Wh-what?"

"Instantly killed seven Old Ancestor existences?"

The White Fatty Old Man and Song Qingfeng were even more terrified!

Then, the White Fatty Old Man suddenly turned his head, looking at Lin Yang in horror, and murmured,

"My...my precious disciple, what Your Excellency Kong Shan Yu said... is it true??"

His heart was shaken to the core.

After only a hundred years apart, had his precious disciple already become so terrifyingly strong?

Was this still his obedient disciple?

The White Fatty Old Man felt a hint of unfamiliarity and disbelief.

Lin Yang immediately gave a helpless smile, glanced at Kong Shan Yu, and turned back with a wry smile, saying,

"Master, Director Song, I did kill seven Alien Race Old Ancestors, but it wasn't as exaggerated as Your Excellency Kong Shan Yu said."

"Being able to instantly kill them was mainly due to some special reasons at the time. In reality, my current true strength is not enough to instantly kill an Old Ancestor; I can only confront an Old Ancestor head-on."

At that time, those few Alien Race Old Ancestors sacrificed Forbidden Power, which happened to be countered by "Boundary."

To be precise, they were killed by "Boundary."

And his current strength, although much improved since he dealt with Old Ancestor Bi Chi, is still far from the level of instantly killing an Old Ancestor.

He briefly explained the reason.

However, this not only did not diminish the shock of the White Fatty Old Man and Song Qingfeng but instead made them even more astonished.

"My, my obedient disciple... in just a hundred years, you... can actually contend with an Old Ancestor??"

The White Fatty Old Man was even more shocked.

When he heard Kong Shan Yu say that Lin Yang could instantly kill an Old Ancestor, he was shocked, but it was too exaggerated, making him feel it wasn't real.

That shock was an subconscious reaction stimulated by a sudden, huge piece of news.

But now, hearing Lin Yang personally say that he could contend with an Old Ancestor, this more realistic shock thoroughly touched his heart, making the White Fatty Old Man feel as if he were dreaming, his mind in a daze.

Song Qingfeng was so stunned he couldn't even speak.

This news was too astonishing, simply beyond his capacity to bear!

The surprise was so immense that he was momentarily dumbfounded.

It had only been a hundred years!

The White Fatty Old Man and Song Qingfeng stood rooted to the spot, silent for a long time.

"Master, Director Song, now, you can rest assured. The old grudges from back then, and the new hatred accumulated over these hundred years, everything they did to me and my Yu Xia Universe homeland, they will repay one by one!"

Lin Yang spoke, his eyes flashing with killing intent.

Northern Branch Rock had eight Old Ancestors.

A hundred years ago, this was an absolutely overwhelming existence he couldn't contend with.

Not to mention eight; even one Old Ancestor was an existence he could only look up to at that time.

But now, even without the Old Ancestors from Song Qingfeng's faction joining, he alone, plus Kong Shan Yu and the others, had the confidence to fight all eight of them!

Times had changed.

Back then, he was the fish in the eyes of Northern Branch Rock and the others; now, it was time for him to become the butcher and let those old fellows experience what despair felt like.

The old grievance of the encirclement and the new hatred of a hundred years—it was time to settle them one by one!

"My obedient disciple..."

Hearing Lin Yang's words, the White Fatty Old Man and Song Qingfeng both shivered, snapping out of their shock, and quickly said,

"Your current strength far exceeds our imagination, but you still must not act rashly!"

The White Fatty Old Man sighed as he spoke:

"Among those old fellows from Northern Branch Rock, someone had a stroke of luck, and their strength has greatly increased, almost reaching the limit of the third tier!"

He looked at Lin Yang, a hint of helplessness on his White Fatty face, and sighed softly:

"My precious disciple, if it weren't for this matter, your master would definitely support you in seeking revenge immediately, but now, it's best to plan further."

"You've only been around for a hundred years and already possess such strength. Now, self-preservation is more than enough. It wouldn't hurt to improve for another hundred years; it wouldn't be too late to seek revenge then."

In these hundred years, Lin Yang's improvement was exaggerated, but Northern Branch Rock and the others were not standing still.

This made both the White Fatty Old Man and Song Qingfeng unwilling for Lin Yang to act rashly now.

With Lin Yang's abnormal rate of improvement, patiently waiting another hundred years would surely greatly increase their chances of success.

"Almost reaching the limit of the third tier?"

Lin Yang frowned, glanced at Kong Shan Yu and the others, and asked,

"Master, can existences above Old Ancestor appear in our Ten Thousand Universes? If they appear, can they still remain within the universe? Are there any related records?"

This was a question Kong Shan Yu and the others had been curious about earlier.

Of course, he was equally curious now, so he simply asked directly.

With his current strength, he was already capable of knowing these things.

He also wanted to take the opportunity to catch up on information about the Ten Thousand Universes.

The White Fatty Old Man and Song Qingfeng knew much more than him about the top-tier information of the Ten Thousand Universes.

Understanding it now would be like a pre-battle supplement.

Hearing this, the White Fatty Old Man glanced at Song Qingfeng, signaling him to speak.

As the Director of the Alien Management Bureau, he had more comprehensive knowledge.

Song Qingfeng nodded and immediately explained:

"There are some records about existences above Old Ancestor. After reaching the level above Old Ancestor, no matter where they are in the universe, even in Unknown Space, they will be directly transmitted out of the universe by the power of rules, forcibly entering Endless Spacetime."

Lin Yang and Kong Shan Yu and the others nodded slightly, noting that this was consistent with the Ten Thousand Realms Universe.

Song Qingfeng then continued:

"However, it has been many, many years since an existence above Old Ancestor appeared. It's too difficult to reach the level above Old Ancestor within the universe, and the resources that appear irregularly in the Time-Space Turbulence Zone are simply not enough to go around."

"There are too many Old Ancestor here. In the past, some third-tier Old Ancestors who were quite confident in themselves would choose to actively enter Endless Spacetime, seeking resources and opportunities to break through to the level above Old Ancestor there."

"Three eras ago, there were still existences above Old Ancestor who would occasionally send back some information from Endless Spacetime. But in the last three eras, none of the seniors from before have sent back any information. It seems something has changed in Endless Spacetime, making it more dangerous."

"Therefore, the current Old Ancestor existences are all holed up in the universe, slowly improving, and no one has actively entered Endless Spacetime anymore."

"Northern Branch Rock and his group are like this. They have stayed in the universe for many years, not daring to enter Endless Spacetime. They band together within the universe, monopolizing the special resources of the Time-Space Turbulence Zone. Old Ancestors who advanced after them either joined them or were suppressed. This is also the main reason why their side has become increasingly strong."

Hearing this, Kong Shan Yu, Zi Yun, and the others exchanged glances and couldn't help but say,

"Your side's last communication with the seniors in Endless Spacetime was three eras ago, while in our Ten Thousand Realms Universe, there has been a gap of at least twenty or thirty eras."

They had already introduced themselves to the White Fatty Old Man and Song Qingfeng during the time Lin Yang spent with his family, and both sides were aware of the existence of the two Universe Zones.

Upon hearing Kong Shan Yu's words, Song Qingfeng was somewhat surprised: "Has the Ten Thousand Realms Universe been out of touch for so long?"

One era represents ten thousand years.

A gap of twenty or thirty eras means a discontinuity of two to three hundred thousand years.

This was a terrifying amount of time.

Song Qingfeng was only two or three thousand years old.

The Ten Thousand Universes had felt a disconnect after three eras of losing contact with the seniors in Endless Spacetime.

The current era and the two preceding eras had been controlled by Northern Branch Rock's faction.

Having held control for only two or three eras, they had already made it so that almost no Old Ancestor could emerge outside of their faction.

He found it hard to imagine what the Ten Thousand Realms Universe would be like after such a long period of discontinuity.

Kong Shan Yu and the others nodded, somewhat speechless.

Lin Yang, however, asked in confusion, "Northern Branch Rock and the others have lived that long?"

Super Gene Warriors have a lifespan of four to five hundred years, and extraordinary powerhouses at most around a thousand years.

Spirit Realm powerhouses live at most three to five thousand years.

The ultimate lifespan of an Old Ancestor at the third tier is only around ten thousand years.

This is also why ten thousand years is defined as an era.

Old Ancestor-level third tier is the strongest existence within the Universe Zone. After about ten thousand years, they either perish or must leave the universe and enter Endless Spacetime before their lifespan is exhausted.

Whichever the case, it represents the end of a top-tier existence.

Therefore, ten thousand years constitute an era.

But it sounds like Northern Branch Rock and his group have held control for two or three eras?

"Of course not!"

Song Qingfeng immediately shook his head:

"The longest-lived among them are only around seven or eight thousand years old. They've held control for less than an era. As for the previous two eras, they were controlled by their faction's elders. Some of those elders eventually ventured into Endless Spacetime, while others simply died of old age."

"At the time of the discontinuity, most of our top Old Ancestors entered Endless Spacetime, which allowed their side to gain a huge advantage. After realizing they had lost contact with the seniors in Endless Spacetime, their Old Ancestors quickly ostracized, suppressed, and even killed many Old Ancestors from our side and the Neutral Faction, thereby gaining control over the Time-Space Turbulence Zone."

"With two or three eras of accumulation, although their predecessors used up many special resources, they also left behind a considerable inheritance. So, by this era, Northern Branch Rock and his group are much stronger than us, almost completely controlling the Time-Space Turbulence Zone here."

"If it weren't for the Alien Race also having numerous Old Ancestors, making it impossible for them to contend with all of the Alien Race Old Ancestors, it's likely they would even control the Time-Space Turbulence Zone that the Alien Race enters."

Hearing this, Kong Shan Yu and Zi Yun and the others were astonished: "You have two Time-Space Turbulence Zones here?"

"Yes, one for our Human Race, and one for the Alien Race," Song Qingfeng nodded.

"This..." Kong Shan Yu and the others fell silent for a moment, then said with some envy, "If our side were like this, it would be great. If we had a Time-Space Turbulence Zone exclusive to us, perhaps it wouldn't be so difficult."

In the Ten Thousand Realms Universe, there was only one Time-Space Turbulence Zone. They and the many Old Ancestors of the Alien Race could only compete for the limited special resources in that single Time-Space Turbulence Zone.

Therefore, the maximum for the Ten Thousand Realms Universe was for one or two third-tier Old Ancestors to emerge in an era.

Lin Yang suddenly added, "Actually, there's also a Time-Space Turbulence Zone within Source Star that connects to Endless Spacetime."

These words made the White Fatty Old Man, Song Qingfeng, and Kong Shan Yu all freeze simultaneously.

Then, two waves of astonished voices rose in unison.

"Does Source Star also have a Time-Space Turbulence Zone??"

These were the words of the White Fatty Old Man and Song Qingfeng.

"Source Star? What kind of place is that?"

This was the question from Kong Shan Yu and Zi Yun.

Lin Yang smiled, first turning to the White Fatty Old Man and Song Qingfeng, saying, "The Time-Space Turbulence Zone within Source Star is located a thousand meters beyond the end of the Bi Yuan Stone Cave passage. Passing through the thousand-meter limit of the stone cave passage allows one to enter a Time-Space Turbulence Zone connected to the Endless Spacetime."

Afterward, he explained to Kong Shan Yu and the others:

"Source Star is a unique planet, rich in spiritual energy. People can more easily break through to the Spirit Realm there. Source Star also has two entrances; our Human Alliance and the Alien Race each have one."

He explained the uniqueness of Source Star in a bit more detail to Kong Shan Yu and the others.

This greatly astonished them: "There's such a good place?"

They could hardly imagine how many Spirit Realms could be born if there was also a Source Star in the Ten Thousand Realms Universe.

Many people in the Ten Thousand Realms Universe were stuck one step before the Spirit Realm, unable to cross over for a long time.

This was also why the addition of even one Spirit Realm made them overjoyed.

"My dear apprentice, you said there's a Time-Space Turbulence Zone beyond a thousand meters in the stone cave passage? Did you break the thousand-meter limit and go beyond it?"

The White Fatty Old Man asked, somewhat shocked, after Lin Yang finished explaining to Kong Shan Yu and the others.

Within the Bi Yuan Stone Cave, one could only go up to a thousand meters, and then not advance an inch further; this was everyone's consensus.

But now Lin Yang said there was a turbulent zone of Endless Spacetime beyond a thousand meters, which truly shocked him.

Song Qingfeng also looked at Lin Yang in astonishment.

This news was too astounding.

An additional turbulent zone meant additional special resources.

This was too important!

Lin Yang nodded: "I can indeed break the thousand-meter limit, but I don't know why. So, Master, Director Song, don't hold too much hope. That turbulent zone should temporarily only be accessible to me. I cannot currently provide a method for you to enter, nor can I enable you to obtain special resources there."

Upon hearing this, the White Fatty Old Man and Song Qingfeng immediately burst into laughter, the former saying:

"Silly apprentice, don't you understand? We are even happier that only you can enter that area, because it means you can exclusively enjoy the special resources born from a Time-Space Turbulence Zone, without having to compete with anyone!"

Both of them became even more excited.

If Lin Yang could exclusively enjoy a Time-Space Turbulence Zone, then reaching or even surpassing the current strongest among Northern Branch Rock and the others would only be a matter of time!

This made the White Fatty Old Man say even more:

"My dear apprentice, if you can exclusively enjoy a Time-Space Turbulence Zone, then there's even less need to directly fight Northern Branch Rock and the others now. Wait until you've improved, and then killing them will be even simpler!"

Song Qingfeng also nodded repeatedly, extremely excited:

"Yes, yes! This is simply a godsend. Lin Yang, just cultivate there with peace of mind. With your cultivation speed and exclusive access to special resources, you'll probably surpass them completely in a few hundred years at most. It won't be too late to seek revenge then!"

He was indeed very excited.

This news excited him even more than hearing that Lin Yang could contend with an Old Ancestor just now.

How old was Lin Yang now?

At his current young age, if he could exclusively enjoy a Time-Space Turbulence Zone and stay there for a few hundred, a thousand, or even several thousand years...

Not only would his own strength accumulate to its limit, but the special materials accumulated might even be enough to create several more third-level Old Ancestors!

This made Song Qingfeng's breathing heavy with excitement.

Why were Northern Branch Rock and others so powerful?

Wasn't it because they monopolized the special resources of a Time-Space Turbulence Zone?

Now that Lin Yang could also exclusively enjoy one, Northern Branch Rock and the others' advantage would be gone.

Now, nothing was lacking except time!

However, Lin Yang shook his head:

"It's not that simple for me to enter the Time-Space Turbulence Zone within Source Star. If I go in, it would be more worthwhile to stay there for a long time before coming out."

"But I can't wait now; if they don't die, I truly cannot rest easy!"

"My good apprentice, why are you so insistent?" The White Fatty Old Man tried to persuade him again.

He felt Lin Yang was a bit too impatient.

Lin Yang, however, shook his head and said, "Master, I'm not being impatient. It's that if I go in and stay for hundreds of years again, how many warriors in the Alliance will die tragically because of their selfishness?"

"Also, Director Song just said that the Alliance is now in a precarious state, and their strength has surged, so they won't give us much time to improve. I'm afraid it won't be long before they can't resist making a move."

"Instead of letting them prepare completely and then attack us, it's better to strike them while they are still unprepared, catching them off guard!"

"Since a fight is inevitable, why not take the initiative?"

"Even if we can't kill them all, even killing one or two, or severely injuring a few, can leave them severely weakened for some time."

"Only when they lose the strength to cause trouble can I rest assured and enter the Source Star's Time-Space Turbulence Zone."

He truly didn't want to wait, and wasn't willing to wait anymore.

Not to mention that a battle was inevitable sooner or later, and waiting a few more centuries, while he could greatly improve, who could guarantee that Northern Branch Rock and the others wouldn't also have lucky breaks and greatly improve?

Waiting a few more centuries would lead to too many unforeseen changes!

Moreover, if they were crippled now, they could also control this outer Time-Space Turbulence Zone, denying them further opportunities for improvement!

This was the best method.

"If, after a battle, we can control the outer Time-Space Turbulence Zone, not only will they lose the chance to improve further, but our own people can also take the opportunity to improve. This is a huge advantage!"

Lin Yang's eyes gleamed:

"If we simply wait for me for a few hundred years, and let them control the Time-Space Turbulence Zone for a few hundred years, then no one can say what other accidents might happen!"

Now that he had the power to fight, he was unwilling to let Northern Branch Rock and the others continue to grow stronger.

Zi Yun nodded: "Your Excellency Lin Yang is right. Making them lose control of this outer Time-Space Turbulence Zone is the best approach right now."

"But..."

Song Qingfeng and the White Fatty Old Man exchanged glances, still a bit worried:

"An Old Ancestor Realm third-level existence, almost at its limit, poses a threat greater than several ordinary third-level Old Ancestors. If you expose yourselves to them now, they will likely hunt you down immediately."

Lin Yang smiled: "Master, Your Excellency Kong Shan Yu and the others are all capable of fighting two-on-one. Against a third-level Old Ancestor, they can hold their own in a one-on-one. Your Excellency Kong Shan Yu himself can even fight a third-level Old Ancestor to a standstill."

"As for that Old Ancestor who is almost at his limit..."

Lin Yang paused, then continued:

"That guy is indeed a big problem, but as long as we show that we have the power to fight them, the Neutral Faction should realize that joining us is the wisest course of action."

"After all, their Old Ancestors are also being squeezed!"

"Now is a great opportunity. As long as their Old Ancestors aren't foolish, they should know how to choose!"

"At that time, as long as Director Song's Old Ancestors and the Neutral Faction's Old Ancestors work together to hold off that almost-at-the-limit guy, and then a few people are dispatched to hold off the two third-level Old Ancestors, the rest can be left to me, Kong Shan Yu, and Your Excellency Zi Yun and the others!"

Northern Branch Rock and the eight Old Ancestors, plus that almost-at-the-limit guy, only had three Old Ancestor third-level existences in total.

Although they controlled a Time-Space Turbulence Zone.

But as Song Qingfeng said before, with too many people and limited resources, it was impossible for everyone to reach the third level.

Stepping from the Old Ancestor Realm second level to the third level was also a hurdle.

Moreover, after advancing to the third level, one could no longer improve through the natural forces of the universe.

Therefore, without sufficient special resources, many Old Ancestors only remained at the second level.

Even if they could choose to temporarily break through, Zi Yun and the others could handle newly breakthrough third-level Old Ancestors in a one-on-one situation.

The Old Ancestors from Song Qingfeng's faction plus those from the Neutral Faction numbered over ten, enough to hold off that almost-at-the-limit guy.

As long as a few more Old Ancestors could be freed up to hold off two or three others.

Leaving Kong Shan Yu and Zi Yun with a two-on-one opportunity, they could at least kill one or two of Northern Branch Rock's eight Old Ancestors!

At the very least, they could severely injure several people.

Whether severely injured or killed, with a few Old Ancestor combatants gone, the numerical advantage would become even more apparent, and Northern Branch Rock and the others would only fall further into defeat!

Upon hearing this, the White Fatty Old Man and Song Qingfeng were again startled, looking at Kong Shan Yu and the others in unison.

Each person capable of at least one-on-two?

This inexplicably shocked them both.

Kong Shan Yu and the others just smiled.

Dealing with Alien Race Old Ancestors on the Ten Thousand Realms Universe side was already commonplace for them.

Zi Yun even sighed: "It's a pity that Tea Banquet can't come. Otherwise, even that almost-at-the-limit guy, Old Man Tea Banquet alone could handle!"

Tea Banquet was the only third-level Old Ancestor among them, so all the special resources they seized were supplied to Tea Banquet alone.

Although he hadn't reached the near-limit state, it wasn't a problem for him to entangle an Old Ancestor who was almost at the limit.

This further astonished the White Fatty Old Man and Song Qingfeng: "You have even more powerful Old Ancestor comrades?"

"Mm." Zi Yun nodded, then explained why Tea Banquet couldn't come.

"This... that truly cannot be easily brought over. Otherwise, if that Yuan Chen Old Ancestor suddenly attacked, it would be disastrous."

The White Fatty Old Man and Song Qingfeng both nodded slightly.

They didn't feel any regret or pity, after all, Zi Yun and the others being able to come and help was already a huge assistance.

Suddenly, Kong Shan Yu seemed to think of something, turning to Lin Yang and saying:

"Your Excellency Lin Yang, you could previously cross the Unknown Space in a single step. Is it possible that you can now pass through that barrier and freely enter and exit the Ten Thousand Realms Universe and the Ten Thousand Universes side?"

"If that's possible, we could bring Old Man Tea here. He could just leave a projection there to give warnings!"

These words made Lin Yang slightly pause.

He hadn't... had time to consider that question!

But then, Lin Yang's eyes lit up.

The power of the Realm surpasses Old Ancestors.

Perhaps, he could try?

If Tea Banquet could also come.

Then...
