560: Chapter 561 Cracks Appear in the Palm of the Buddha Kingdom; Too Strong a Physical Body Also Causes Trouble

The warmth in Kunning Palace did not last long.

Although Lu Chen tried his best to restrain his aura, his terrifying Physical Body, which had already reached "one ten-thousandth the density of a neutron star," still caused irreversible effects on the surrounding environment.

Tea cups on the table would slide toward him for no reason, palace maids walking past him would feel difficulty breathing, and even the floor of the palace was sinking slightly.

This was the result of him deliberately controlling it; if he really relaxed and took a nap, I fear the entire Forbidden City would be torn apart by his gravitational field.

"Taichu, this won't do."

Lu Chen walked out of the main hall and stood in the empty square, his brows furrowed. "I am now like an elephant shoved into a china shop; I dare not even move."

"I need a place that can completely contain me, one where I can release my power without restraint."

"Master, your 'Palm Buddha Kingdom' is theoretically the best choice," Taichu No. 1 suggested. "It is a sub-space independent of Earth's dimension."

"I thought of that too."

Lu Chen raised his right hand, and a spatial gate faintly appeared in his palm. "But that space is too fragile right now. I just tried to reach a hand in, and the spatial barrier developed cracks."

"If I were to go in entirely, that Small World would collapse instantly."

This was awkward.

The house is too small to accommodate a giant.

"I must upgrade the Palm Buddha Kingdom." A flash of determination crossed Lu Chen's eyes. "Upgrade it into a true 'Major Thousand Worlds'."

"According to simulations, you need two things," Taichu quickly provided a plan. "First is a 'Stabilizing Needle', used to stabilize the Space Law and prevent collapse; second is a 'Load-bearing Cornerstone', used to support the mass of your Physical Body."

"A Stabilizing Needle... that's easy to handle; that World Tree in the other world is ready-made."

Lu Chen rubbed his chin. "As for the Load-bearing Cornerstone... ordinary soil and rock certainly won't do."

"It requires high-density matter," Taichu analyzed. "I suggest synthesizing — Chaos Soil."

"What about raw materials?"

"Since you now possess micro-black hole cells, you can directly compress ordinary matter into degenerate matter through gravitational collapse."

"Simple and brutal, I like it."

Lu Chen's figure flashed, and he vanished from the spot instantly.

The next second, he appeared in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter.

This was the graveyard of the Solar System, with countless rocks and metallic celestial bodies floating about.

"You'll do."

Lu Chen locked onto an iron-rich asteroid with a diameter of about fifty kilometers.

He manifested a ten-thousand-foot Dharma image, a phantom purely composed of gravitational waves.

"Shatter for me!"

A colossal hand that blotted out the sky suddenly gripped that asteroid.

The 48 billion micro-black holes within his body operated at full power simultaneously, and a terrifying gravitational field erupted instantly.

"Rumble—"

There was no air to carry the sound, but the tremors in space spread all around.

That massive asteroid began to collapse, shatter, and compress crazily in Lu Chen's hand.

Rock turned into magma, magma turned into gas, the gas had its atomic nuclei crushed, turning into plasma...

Finally, all the matter was forcibly squeezed together.

Five minutes later.

Lu Chen opened his palm.

The originally fifty-kilometer-wide celestial body had disappeared, replaced by a lump of "mud" only the size of a fist, displaying a hazy, chaotic color.

This lump of mud was shockingly heavy; even the surrounding light bent around it.

"This is the Chaos Soil."

Lu Chen felt the heavy weight in his hand and smiled with satisfaction.

"With this thing to pave the ground, even if I roll around in there, it won't collapse."

"Next, it's time to go retrieve that 'Stabilizing Needle'."

...

The Other World, Erathia continent.

Ever since the two Clones, Chen Lu and Mo Chen, "Ascension" and returned to the main body, this world had fallen into an eerie calm.

The Church lost its Divine Envoy, and the Demon Palace lost its Demon Master.

Although the upper echelons of both major powers knew what had happened, the lower-level believers and common people were plunged into confusion and panic.

The Forest of Elves, in particular, was like this.

Queen Elena would take her people to pray under the World Tree every day, hoping that the "Father God" who had granted the Mother Tree a new life would return.

Because it had lost the continuous nourishment of Chen Lu's Divine Power, the newly revived World Tree, while not withered, had slowed its growth significantly, and some leaves had even begun to lose their luster.

"Father God... have you really abandoned us?"

Elena knelt under the tree, her eyes dim.

Just at this moment.

"Hum—"

The sky over the entire Erathia continent suddenly turned an eerie dark red.

This was not the descent of evil, but the wail of space unable to bear the arrival of some great existence.

An indescribable, terrifying pressure that transcended the so-called "God Rank" instantly enveloped the entire plane.

Under this pressure, whether it was the new Pope in the Papal Palace or the new Devil King in the abyss, all were pressed flat onto the ground, unable to even lift their heads.

"This... what kind of power is this?"

"It's ten thousand times more terrifying than the previous Divine Envoy!"

Above the Forest of Elves, space tore open a huge rift.

Lu Chen stood with his hands behind his back and walked out slowly.

His current state, even if restrained to the best of his ability, was like a star descending into the mortal world for this low-magic plane.

The surrounding magical elements went wildly out of control due to his arrival, and even visible ripples appeared in the air due to gravitational distortion.

"Fa... Father God?"

Elena looked up. Although the man before her looked slightly different from the previous Chen Lu (more perfect, more majestic), that familiarity deep in her Soul made her burst into tears instantly.

"I have returned."

Lu Chen landed in front of the World Tree.

He glanced at this giant tree and then at the elves kneeling around him.

"Chen Lu is me, and I am Chen Lu."

Lu Chen's voice echoed through the forest. "I once promised to protect you all; today is the time to fulfill that promise."

"This plane is too small and too weak."

"I am going to take this tree away to a broader, higher-level world."

"And you..."

Lu Chen's gaze swept over all the elves. "As the symbiotic race of the World Tree, you have two choices."

"One, stay here and continue to eke out a living in this increasingly declining plane."

"Two, follow me, along with this tree, and ascend as a race to my 'Taihao Heaven' to become its first indigenous inhabitants."

Was there even a need to choose?

The Erathia continent had long been scavenged by the two Clones, and the decline in Spiritual Qi concentration was an indisputable fact.

And to follow this supreme existence was an Opportunity that many could only dream of!

"We are willing!"

Elena did not hesitate at all and kowtowed heavily. "The entire Elven race is willing to follow Father God to the death!"

"Very good."

Lu Chen nodded.

"Then pack your things."

"Not just those jars and cans, but pack up the Demonic Beasts, rare herbs, and even the soil in this forest—anything you think is useful, pack it all up for me."

"I am going to... move house!"

He looked up at the World Tree that towered into the clouds, a sharp glint flashing in his eyes.

"Taichu, calculate this."

"This time, it's not just the tree; I want to dig up the entire Forest of Elves for ten thousand miles, soil and ecosystem included!"

"Yes, Master. I suggest using Chaos Soil as an adhesive to stabilize the Foundation."

A wild, arrogant smile curled the corners of Lu Chen's mouth.

"Then let these natives open their eyes to what real—moving mountains and filling seas—is!"
