150: Chapter 150: 200,000 Years of Evolution

Along the way, the reason Lin Sheng's strength could increase so quickly was almost entirely dependent on the two talents of "Devour" and "Evolution."

And if these two talents had to be prioritized, Lin Sheng would undoubtedly choose "Devour."

The reason was simple: compared to "Evolution," "Devour" was also an offensive talent.

If the "Devour" talent were upgraded to the Truth Level, then Lin Sheng would possess the power of a "Truth Strike."

In fact, ever since he needed to digest the cosmic membrane a long time ago, he realized that the "Devour" talent needed to be upgraded.

But this was, after all, a Concept Level talent. To upgrade from Concept Level to Truth Level, Lin Sheng really couldn't think of any other way besides using the talent evolution card obtained from the lottery.

Now, since he had already drawn a Truth Level talent evolution card, Lin Sheng would naturally evolve this talent.

"System, I intend to use all my evolution points for a single Evolution. During the Evolution, I will also use 'Harmonizing Light with Dust' to tune my body, making it reach a state that can best adapt to these current talents."

"In that case, how long will this Evolution take?"

After deciding on the direction of his next Evolution, Lin Sheng asked the system in advance about the time required.

Although he was invincible during Evolution, his forces were not.

Since he was going to evolve, he had to arrange everything properly beforehand.

[Ding]

[According to the Host's wishes, this Evolution is estimated to take 190,000 years]

Hearing the Evolution time given by the system, Lin Sheng felt lucky that he had asked in advance.

If he hadn't asked, he wouldn't have been able to act for nearly 200,000 years. If his subordinates provoked a Great God or an Old One during this time, Lin Sheng would truly find it difficult to resolve.

Even if his consciousness possessed a status far exceeding that of a Great God or an Old One, his consciousness lacked offensive power.

Lin Sheng really didn't dare to gamble on whether a provoked Great God or Old One would give him face.

Now that he knew the Evolution would take so long, Lin Sheng naturally had to make preparations.

He first strengthened the black sun he was parasitizing. Although the black sun was as fragile as glass when facing a Great God or an Old One...

...against a regular True God in the Outer Universe, the black sun could completely defeat or even kill them.

Under Lin Sheng's long-term parasitism, this black sun could already be considered a "Source · Lin Sheng."

Except for those few Truth Level talents that couldn't be transferred, the black sun possessed every talent Lin Sheng had.

It was just that for talents at the law level and above, the black sun was countless times weaker than Lin Sheng's main body.

Lin Sheng's consciousness entered the black sun, and after adapting to it, he summoned Ishtaro.

"My Lord."

Looking at that terrifying creature sprawled across the black sun, its body stretching beyond the horizon, Ishtaro prostrated himself respectfully.

The longer he remained Lin Sheng's believer, the more Ishtaro could understand Lin Sheng's terror.

This was a black-and-white universe; black and white were the truths of this universe.

As creatures of this universe, they either had to maintain their original heart and fight against chaos...

...or accept the chaotic reality and become mindless lunatics.

However, Lin Sheng's appearance had shattered this eternally existing truth.

As an out-and-out Fallen One and a believer of an "Old One," from the moment Ishtaro became Lin Sheng's believer until now, he had completely regained the sanity he had once lost.

Not just him; many of the mortals (demigods were also considered mortals) who believed in Lin Sheng and were protected by him had also regained their lost sanity.

This phenomenon undoubtedly shocked him.

At the same time, he was also very glad that Lin Sheng stood on the side of the Evil Gods.

If this being were a Great God, then the ones who fell that day would have been himself, rather than those two demigods, right?

Such a thought couldn't help but pop into Ishtaro's mind.

While Ishtaro's thoughts were wandering, a pressure far beyond his imagination enveloped his entire body.

The intensity of this pressure far exceeded his imagination; even a Great God existing in Ishtaro's fantasies would not possess pressure of this level.

"Could it be that an existence above a Great God has come to act against my Lord?"

This pressure, filled with wandering righteous energy, was not something his Lord, an "Old One," should possess.

Even though Ishtaro had felt the pressure brought by Lin Sheng's "Divinity" before, Lin Sheng's release of pressure then had not been as unrestrained as it was now.

And at that time, Lin Sheng had only just obtained the "Golden Immortal" Dao Fruit; his application of the Dao Fruit was not as refined as it was now.

"Ishtaro."

Lin Sheng spoke.

As soon as his voice sounded, Ishtaro's tense mood immediately relaxed.

Lin Sheng withdrew the pressure, and Ishtaro could finally raise his head to see what kind of scene was before him.

What met his eyes was a ball of light emitting a faint golden glow. The ball of light was like the only spark in this chaotic universe, pure and without a single impurity.

If Lin Sheng always appeared in this form, everyone would feel that Lin Sheng must be a powerful Great God.

With just one look, Ishtaro immediately withdrew his gaze and prostrated himself with an even more devout posture than before.

His head, buried into the asteroid beneath his feet, was the best proof.

"My Lord, you..."

Ishtaro wanted to ask, but he suddenly realized that Lin Sheng was the Lord and he was the believer. Even if he had become a god, he should not question the Lord's identity.

"You are confused."

Lin Sheng's voice reached Ishtaro's ears, causing Ishtaro to pull his head out of the Ground.

Feeling the Lord's pressure, Ishtaro nodded.

He thought Lin Sheng was willing to explain to him. Just as he was about to speak, Lin Sheng's voice reached his ears again.

"Keep it in."

Lin Sheng's tone was filled with an air that brooked no question.

Hearing this, Ishtaro immediately shoved his head back into the asteroid.

"Dive into the Deep Realm and lure a True God out."

"Mm, if you can't lure out a True God, going to Subspace to lure an Evil God over is also fine."

Lin Sheng commanded Ishtaro.

He intended to test exactly what level his consciousness's combat power was at before evolving, so he ordered Ishtaro to lure a deity out for him.

As for why Lin Sheng didn't go to the Deep Realm or Subspace himself?

Did that even need to be said? What hunter used a nuclear bomb as bait?
