164: Entering the Void Forbidden Zone

Lin Chen Dao Domain.

Lin Chen's main body already knew that Star Envoy Yuan Yue was chasing Aura, who had undergone Dao Oblivion Transformation.

Aura had not been caught for the time being and even had a plan to escape the pursuit, so there would be no problems in the short term, and there was no need to worry too much.

Since there was no longer a threat from Star Envoy Yuan Yue in the Void, God Lin Chen also had no need to stay by the main body's side; going to the Void and accelerating his Void Incarnation process was what he should do.

The environment of This Universe was not conducive to God Lin Chen's Void Incarnation process; his destination was the Void, and only the Void was where he should be.

Thus, God Lin Chen ended his short two to three months of secluded cultivation and once again left the Lin Chen Dao Domain, returning to the Void by falling into it.

Upon returning to the Void, God Lin Chen felt incredibly refreshed; while in the Lin Chen Dao Domain, he felt he made no progress and could only obediently follow the main body's arrangements, cultivating the content assigned by the main body.

Now that he had returned to the Void, he no longer needed to engage in tedious cultivation; as long as he stayed in the Void, his strength would naturally increase, and becoming a God-level entity was as easy as lying down.

This kind of life was naturally incomparably comfortable.

Because the outlet for bad luck was temporarily with Aura, God Lin Chen only had a small amount of bad luck, essentially no different from his normal state; he wouldn't be too lucky, nor too unlucky.

This state was also the most comfortable; no good things would happen, no bad things would happen, everything seemed so peaceful.

When you are enjoying a peaceful life, someone else is surely bearing the burdens.

God Lin Chen, in his peaceful state, was attached to a tortoise-like Ascension to God level Void Creature; wherever the tortoise Void Creature went, he went.

On the other side, Aura's life was not so easy; he was in a very miserable state.

He thought that after entering the deep Void, he would be able to escape Star Envoy Yuan Yue's pursuit.

But he was completely overthinking it.

Star Envoy Yuan Yue, sensing that he had entered the deep Void, was also somewhat worried about losing track of Aura.

Thus, she directly consumed her origin and forcibly killed a God-level Void Creature that was chasing behind her.

Using the corpse of the God-level Void Creature as a vessel, she forcibly burned its remaining Void Power, staging a scene of Void racing, plunging into the deep Void in an extremely short amount of time.

To avoid losing her target, she also paid a price, losing one-tenth of her origin, but the result of doing so was good.

Her distance from Lin Chen became very close; with both their speeds remaining constant, she would be able to catch up to Lin Chen within half a month, and by now, she could already use some long-range attacks to strike Lin Chen from a distance.

“Dao Oblivion, you cannot escape.”

Star Envoy Yuan Yue's tone was calm, as if stating an unchallengeable fact.

“…………”

Lin Chen remained silent, only focusing on hurrying on his way.

The two sides once again entered a situation where she pursued, he fled, and he had no wings to escape.

Lin Chen was also anxious; the vicinity was too vast, and if no accident occurred, he would truly be caught and fall into a dead end.

During his escape, Lin Chen was not idle; to prevent his own death from leading to the failure of his Dao Oblivion Transformation.

He also hardened his heart, continuously spreading Dao Fall Power, transforming it into Dao Oblivion Seeds, and burying them in the Void.

Even if he were truly caught by Star Envoy Yuan Yue and his Dao Fall Power was ground away, as long as those Dao Oblivion Seeds still existed, the Dao Oblivion Transformation would not fail; it would just need to redevelop, requiring a very long time to recover to its current level.

Dao Oblivion Seeds could not allow him to be reborn; only after his death and subsequent re-evolution could he return to the deep Void to retrieve the Dao Oblivion Seeds and re-enter the Dao Oblivion Transformation state.

Star Envoy Yuan Yue naturally could not allow Lin Chen to leave such obvious contingencies; while chasing Lin Chen, she used her own origin of destructive power to grind away the Dao Oblivion Seeds.

However, the number of Dao Oblivion Seeds Lin Chen scattered was not small; no matter how many Star Envoy Yuan Yue ground away, there was still one Dao Oblivion Seed that was overlooked and hidden deep within the Void.

As long as one Dao Oblivion Seed remained hidden deep within the Void, Lin Chen's path of Dao Oblivion would not be cut off.

Moreover, one Dao Oblivion Seed was not secure; Star Envoy Yuan Yue would likely, after grinding him away, turn back and clear the path the two had taken in their chase.

All the overlooked Dao Oblivion Seeds also began to move, heading towards the deeper parts of the deep Void, journeying to unknown distant places.

These Dao Oblivion Seeds drifting into the distance might remain dormant indefinitely, waiting for Lin Chen to retrieve them, or they might take root and sprout, blossoming into new Dao Oblivion Flowers, nurturing new legends.

But no matter what, Lin Chen's path of Dao Oblivion was preserved.

Star Envoy Yuan Yue thought a lot; she was absolutely certain she would miss Dao Oblivion Seeds, so she chose to call for help, taking advantage of still being able to contact her Star Envoy colleagues in This Universe, quickly explaining the situation to them and requesting support from Star Envoy colleagues skilled in grinding away Dao Fall Power.

In terms of calling for backup, Star Envoys were also very authoritative.

The Universe had existed for a long time, and the Star Envoy lineage had been almost as long as the Universe's existence.

The number of Star Envoys was also considerable, and there were also Foundation Level existences belonging to the Star Envoys presiding over them.

It was just that the Universe was vast, and Star Envoys were scattered everywhere, which made their numbers seem small; some people never encountered one in their lifetime, while others encountered them twice within a year or two, and even offended them both times.

In this way, Lin Chen was scattering Dao Oblivion Seeds ahead, not hesitating to consume his precious Dao Fall Power, just to leave behind a spark.

Behind her, Star Envoy Yuan Yue was doing her best to grind away the Dao Oblivion Seeds, occasionally missing one or two, which she was powerless to prevent, only hoping that the seniors among the Star Envoys could grind away those missed Dao Oblivion Seeds, cutting off Lin Chen's contingency for re-Dao Oblivion Transformation.

During their chase, the two delved deeper and deeper into the deep Void.

In the deep Void, Void Rifts could appear at any time.

The Void was already the lowest layer of space in this dimension, supporting everything, so behind a Void Rift was the dimensional interstice, a collection of “nothingness,” where nothing existed; only Foundation Level entities could survive, and even Foundation Level entities could not exist for long, eventually being assimilated by “nothingness.”

Only those who transcended the Foundation Level could barely survive in the dimensional interstice, with a tiny possibility of returning to the dimension.

Lin Chen would rather be ground away than gamble by entering a Void Rift.

Because he knew very well that this was not a gamble, but truly putting himself in a desperate situation.

If he was ground away, he could re-evolve, but if he entered a Void Rift, that would be truly hopeless, and Lin Chen would forever lose that part of his concept, and his self would not be complete.

Lin Chen was carefully avoiding the Void Rifts that could appear at any time, and Star Envoy Yuan Yue was also doing the same; both were well aware of the Void Rift's terror.

When the two entered the deep Void, knowledge inexplicably surged into their minds, informing them of some common sense about the deep Void, which was why they could understand the horror of Void Rifts.

“Oh boy, it's over.”

Lin Chen had just dodged a Void Rift that suddenly appeared in front of him, only to plunge headfirst into a new perilous zone.

The Void Forbidden Zone, an area extremely close to the dimensional interstice behind a Void Rift.

In the Forbidden Zone, Void Power was incredibly sparse; if one could not find a way to leave, the final outcome was no different from entering a Void Rift, the only difference being that the corpse would be recycled by the Void and would not merge into the dimensional interstice.

Now there are two pieces of good news and one piece of bad news.

Good news: no longer have to worry about Star Envoy Yuan Yue's pursuit.

Bad news: Star Envoy Yuan Yue also chased him in.

Good news: Star Envoy Yuan Yue can no longer catch up to him.

Everything in the Void Forbidden Zone remained in the state it was in before entering, as if frozen; time would also be suspended at that moment, and then all things would be trapped within it.

Lin Chen was not caught by Star Envoy Yuan Yue before entering, and it was impossible for him to be caught after entering; although they were very close, the distance between them was an insurmountable chasm, unbreakable by anything less than Foundation Level.

“You chased me, and now look, both of us are trapped in the Void Forbidden Zone, and can only gamble on that slim chance of survival.”

“Dao Oblivion, this is a bad outcome for you, but for me, it's a good outcome; you can no longer harm This Universe, and my duty is fulfilled.”

“Sigh, incomprehensible.”

Lin Chen's explanations, in Star Envoy Yuan Yue's eyes, were all sophistry, so he simply stopped explaining.

After all, he would not bring disaster upon the Universe he originated from; he was a rational person, with a complete and normal consciousness; power was just power, and he was the one who wielded power, the master of power.

Now, the two still maintained their previous state of one chasing and one fleeing; they could only maintain this state, neither gaining nor losing, until the Forbidden Zone collapsed, which could also be considered achieving eternal life.
