154: Chapter 154 Does the Old Days Still Exist?

Lin Sheng didn't intend to hide anymore.

He directly let go of his defenses and focused all his attention on 'Mediating Creation.' No matter how the Old One attacked, he remained as steady as a mountain.

This Old One had never encountered a bizarre existence like Lin Sheng; its attacks were actually dealing zero damage.

Seeing that the feeling around it was becoming increasingly oppressive, the Old One actually twisted its body...

It wanted to flee!

Seeing the Old One's behavior, Lin Sheng's gaze narrowed.

He didn't move to stop it.

Because at that moment, 'Mediating Creation' was complete.

The surrounding incomplete rules began to reorganize, and a sense of familiarity enveloped this void.

These were the rules of the Outer Universe.

Lin Sheng used 'Mediating Creation' to transport the rules of the Outer Universe into Subspace.

The void near Lin Sheng was now covered by the rules of the Outer Universe.

Being inside it was the same for the Old One as being in the Outer Universe.

“The limits of Heaven and Earth are boundless, borrowing power from the Cosmos!”

Lin Sheng let out a low growl and charged toward the restricted Old One.

Although he didn't really understand this mantra, shouting it out at this moment made him look exceptionally imposing.

However, when this seemingly powerful attack landed on the Old One's body, the resulting effect was somewhat unsatisfactory.

It was the same old story: there was still a significant gap between Lin Sheng and the Old One. While the Old One couldn't do anything to him, he couldn't do anything to the Old One either.

“You cannot trap me!”

Feeling the rules suppressing it, the Old One let out a roar.

Chaotic brilliance flowed around its body, and it actually forcibly broke through the Outer Universe that Lin Sheng had woven from rules.

Lin Sheng couldn't help but feel a surge of alarm at the sight.

The gap in raw power was still too large; moreover, this was Subspace, not the true Outer Universe.

An existence like an Old One could inherently break the rules of the Outer Universe.

In Subspace, when faced with these man-made Outer Universe rules, there was no need for the Old One to hold back.

After breaking the Outer Universe manifested through Lin Sheng's 'Mediating Creation,' the Old One did not attack Lin Sheng again.

It locked onto Lin Sheng's aura with a death stare, as if trying to imprint his image into its heart.

Lin Sheng was not to be outdone, using his 'golden immortal dao fruit' and 'divinity' to pressure the Old One.

From beginning to end, except when defending, Lin Sheng never let his consciousness appear too special.

Although if Lin Sheng released the Truth Level pressure contained within his consciousness, this Old One would surely be scared into a frantic retreat.

But the problem was, what would happen after the opponent fled?

If the Old One realized the truth later, Lin Sheng would be in big trouble.

After all, he had already fought several rounds with it, and this Old One definitely knew exactly what his combat power was.

“I will remember you!”

Leaving behind those words, the Old One didn't linger any further and instantly vanished from the area.

Lin Sheng didn't try to stop the Old One from leaving either.

He knew that if the opponent was determined to go, he couldn't stop them at all.

“This is troublesome.”

Lin Sheng sighed inwardly.

Once the Old One left, the feeling of being watched also disappeared.

But Lin Sheng didn't feel that this matter was over.

At least until he dealt with that Old One, this wasn't finished.

...

“My Lord.”

The moment Lin Sheng returned to the Outer Universe, Ishtaro immediately came forward to greet him.

Lin Sheng's gaze lingered on Ishtaro for a moment before he shifted his attention to Rona nearby.

Sensing Lin Sheng's eyes on him, Rona hurriedly bowed in salutation.

“Venerable God.”

As a god, Rona could better appreciate Lin Sheng's power; therefore, he wouldn't be as arrogant as those mortals from before when facing Lin Sheng.

“You may go back now.”

Lin Sheng spoke, dismissing Rona.

Hearing Lin Sheng's words, Rona froze on the spot.

He couldn't understand why this Master God, who had brought him here, was letting him leave so easily.

Things could definitely not be this simple!

Rona frowned in deep thought. He couldn't figure it out, but the current situation didn't allow him much time to think.

The Master God before him was definitely not a normal Master God, and certainly not a benevolent one.

Being able to leave this place was also what Rona hoped for.

“Thank you, Venerable God. This minor god will surely remember your grace in the future.”

Rona bowed deeply to Lin Sheng once more, then turned around, making a move to descend back into the Deep Realm.

However, at that moment, Lin Sheng seemed to have thought of something and suddenly called out to stop him.

“Oh, right.”

He stopped the departing Rona and reminded him in a calm tone:

“An Old One wanted to come over just now, but I drove it away.”

“Be careful on your way back. Try to stay in the territories of other Master Gods for a while to avoid that Old One coming to look for trouble with you.”

“You don't need to worry about my side. With me here, that Old One won't rashly launch an attack.”

Hearing Lin Sheng say this, Rona's body became stuck right at the boundary between the Outer Universe and the Deep Realm.

How could he not hear it? Lin Sheng had no intention of letting him leave at all.

Regardless of whether the Old One Lin Sheng mentioned actually existed, he could no longer leave this place.

Once he truly left, whether the Old One existed or not would be entirely up to Lin Sheng's word.

“Please save me, Venerable God. I am willing to follow your every command.”

Seeing Rona being so sensible, Lin Sheng nodded with satisfaction.

“Just stay in the Outer Universe. With me here, there's no need to worry about that Old One.”

...

After handling the various matters, Lin Sheng's consciousness returned to his main body, intending to begin his Evolution.

He didn't use the 'talent evolution card' immediately, but planned to use it after the Evolution was complete.

This way, the 'Devour' talent could also be adjusted.

“System, consume two-thirds of the evolution points to evolve. Use the remaining one-third to activate 'Harmonizing Light with Dust' to assist this Evolution.”

Lin Sheng issued the command to the system in his mind.

Upon receiving the Evolution command, the system's notification sound immediately rang in Lin Sheng's head:

[Ding]

[According to the Host's wishes, this Evolution will take 194,000 years. Please wait patiently, Host]

After the system's voice faded, 'Dao Rhyme' flowed around Lin Sheng's body as he began this Evolution.

For this Evolution, Lin Sheng did not choose to fall into a deep sleep.

While his body was evolving, Lin Sheng's consciousness left his physical form.

He actively worked to merge with the 'golden immortal dao fruit' while observing the changes in his body.

In the ten thousandth year of Evolution, Lin Sheng's entire body was being kneaded together.

Previously, his body was clearly divided, with one half full of divinity and the other half full of pollution.

But by the ten thousandth year of Evolution, these distinct powers were actually being mashed into one.
