185: Mars

The city Lin Chen was in had a teleportation gate connecting to Super Base No. 1 and Super Base No. 2.

Super Base No. 1 was destroyed in a major war three years ago, but it has now been rebuilt and expanded several times over.

Because these bases, Super Base No. 1, Super Base No. 2, and Super Base No. 3, guard a stable passage connected to Blue Star, the Federation government takes them very seriously.

These three bases can be said to be the last line of defense for the Blue Star Human Race; if they fall, then external enemies will be able to enter Blue Star through the stable passage!

To enter Blue Star, one needs to travel through the spatial passage by spaceship; otherwise, one would be torn apart by the immense distorting forces within the space.

However, Lin Chen did not need to; he arrived in the spatial passage with a single blink.

Upon arriving in this passage again, Lin Chen immediately noticed something unusual.

His Spatial Great Dao was countless times more profound than it was three years ago!

But he couldn't construct such a spatial passage that would last for thousands of years without collapsing, and one that connected two dimensional worlds at that... Lin Chen discovered some obscure secret patterns on the spatial passage's barrier; he had never seen these secret patterns before, and they were complex and difficult to understand. Just looking at them for a while made him feel dizzy.

This discovery greatly shocked Lin Chen.

One must know that he was currently at Dao Realm First Layer, and his comprehension of the Spatial Great Dao had reached 0.1%; he shouldn't be like this, even at his worst.

"For the person who constructed this spatial passage, a thousand years is but a flick of the finger. Perhaps that person hasn't even left yet!"

Lin Chen's scalp immediately tingled; he suddenly had a feeling of being spied upon!

After a long while, he took a deep breath, suppressing the feeling of palpitations.

He would uncover the veil behind Blue Star sooner or later; after all, Blue Star was his root, and he would not allow it to become someone else's chess piece!

Lin Chen quickly arrived at Blue Star following the spatial passage.

As soon as he appeared on Blue Star, he immediately sensed his surroundings carefully.

Ten minutes later.

Lin Chen withdrew his true spirit power.

"Everything on Blue Star is normal; there's nothing unusual. Everything is developing in a good direction."

"However, Ancestor Jin said that this is another four-dimensional world, and the fundamental nature of power in different dimensional worlds is different."

Lin Chen was not in a hurry anyway, so he closed his eyes slightly and slowly began to sense using the power of his eleven Source Great Daos.

After a long while, Lin Chen frowned deeply.

"Something's not right. All eleven Source Great Daos can be used here, but there are subtle differences."

"But, I can't sense even a trace of Source Great Dao aura here. Why is that?"

Lin Chen fell into deep thought.

The reason why one could comprehend the Source Great Dao in the Endless Realm was precisely because the Source Great Dao was omnipresent there.

As long as one comprehended a trace of Great Dao power, one could constantly sense the true Source Great Dao through that trace of Great Dao power, and then slowly comprehend it... However, while Great Dao power could be used here on Blue Star, one could not sense the Great Dao behind it through the trace of Great Dao power he had comprehended!

The Source Great Dao of Blue Star's dimensional world seemed extremely obscure.

One could only use its power, but one could not perceive its true form. In that case, he would never be able to improve his Great Dao comprehension here!

"Was the Great Dao here tampered with, or was it always like this?"

Lin Chen thought and thought but couldn't figure it out, so he simply gave up for now.

He instantly teleported directly to the Federation military base in the capital, where he found Bai Hong, Old Li, and Matthew already waiting for him.

It turned out that after he left, Lu Hui had already informed Bai Hong and the others of Lin Chen's return.

After three years, Lin Chen found that Bai Hong had reached the late stage of Martial God Realm, and Old Li had also reached the middle stage.

Even Matthew had broken through to the Martial God Realm.

For a thousand years, the three Martial Emperors of the Blue Star Human Race were still far ahead.

"Lin Chen, Lu Hui has already told us about your experiences outside these past few years."

"Come quickly, we've prepared some hometown dishes for you. You haven't had them in a long time, have you?"

Old Li greeted Lin Chen with a beaming smile, inviting him to sit down.

Lin Chen's appetite was immediately stimulated by the words, although he no longer needed to eat to replenish his physical energy.

But tasting delicious food was still enjoyable.

In his previous life, Lin Chen was a food lover. Although his work and life were not satisfactory, he never shortchanged himself when it came to food.

After Lin Chen took his seat, he saw a huge round table laden with all sorts of delicacies, including both southern and northern dishes, totaling over a hundred dishes.

The Blue Star Human Race was already skilled at cooking various delicacies, unlike the races in Hong Country who only knew how to simply prepare food; Lin Chen had tried it a few times and given up.

"Lin Chen, these were made by a chef we went to great lengths to invite. Have a taste."

Bai Hong said with a smile.

Lin Chen didn't stand on ceremony and immediately started eating.

On this table, there was everything that flew in the sky, walked on the ground, and swam in the water.

Braised pork hock, roasted whole lamb, roasted suckling pig, steamed king crab, Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, and hundreds of other dishes—Lin Chen continuously shoveled them into his mouth, eating until his mouth was dripping with oil.

These foods were quickly digested after entering his body.

Eating like this, Lin Chen could continue until the end of time... After a long while, the entire table of delicacies was consumed, and Lin Chen let out a satisfied burp.

Bai Hong and the others laughed heartily with relief, looking at Lin Chen with great affection.

"Lin Chen, come back often in the future. This is your home. Come back whenever you want to eat."

Old Li said with tears in his eyes.

Hong Country was not like this place; in Hong Country, Lin Chen was struggling alone, and they couldn't help him even if they wanted to... Lin Chen looked at them, deeply moved. Home?

Blue Star was indeed as important as home in his heart!

"Old Li, don't worry. I am now a disciple of the Fire Mist Sect and am highly regarded by the Hong Country imperial family. My status is very high."

"Moreover, I am very powerful now, so you don't need to worry."

"Since you treated me to hometown dishes today, I will treat you to dragon meat!"

After Lin Chen finished speaking, he waved his hand, and Bai Hong and the others were directly moved into his Inner World.

Lin Chen's Inner World was tens of thousands of times larger than the Azure Cang Realm, and its spiritual energy density far exceeded the Azure Cang Realm.

Bai Hong and the others were stunned the moment they entered by the sight before them.

They were not only shocked by such a vast Inner World, but the thousand-plus Black Dragon corpses even more so shook their minds.

The smallest of these Black Dragon corpses were over a hundred kilometers long, and the corpse of Long Jue, the Black Dragon Clan leader, was tens of thousands of kilometers long.

The Black Dragon corpses exuded a terrifying aura; if Lin Chen hadn't refined them, Bai Hong and the others would not have been able to withstand it at all.

"Lin Chen... these are..."

Matthew's eyes widened. Although he had heard from Lu Hui that the ancestral land of the Black Dragon Clan in Hong Country had been destroyed by Lin Chen.

But seeing so many Black Dragon corpses with their own eyes, they still couldn't accept it for a while.

"Old Li, I have already extracted the life cores of these Black Dragons. By cultivating with the help of these life cores, you can also reach the Transcendent Realm faster."

"I will divide this dragon meat later. You can keep the ten-tier one, and the rest can be distributed to the elites of the Human Race."

"The violent energy within the dragon meat has already been refined by me, so feel free to eat it. This dragon meat is rich in vital energy and blood, which can enhance your physical strength."

Bai Hong and the others immediately beamed with excitement upon hearing this.

"With so much dragon meat, we probably won't finish it even if we eat for a hundred years. Our Blue Star Human Race is truly blessed!"

...Lin Chen divided the thousand-plus Black Dragon corpses into countless small pieces according to their strength levels and stored them in different spatial rings.

Next, Lin Chen stayed on Blue Star for a few days. During these days, he also occasionally guided Bai Hong and the others through their cultivation dilemmas.

Lin Chen's realm was more than sufficient to guide them.

Bai Hong even had an epiphany and directly broke through to the Half-Step Transcendence Realm!

Lin Chen couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

As expected of the former pillar of the Blue Star Human Race, his comprehension and talent were too strong!

One day, Lin Chen had a sudden inspiration; the veil behind Blue Star had always bothered him.

This time, he directly let his true spirit power expand outwards, instantly surpassing the boundaries of Blue Star and continuing to sense towards the infinitely distant starry sky.

Lin Chen's true spirit sensing range was more than a dozen times larger than the main world of a small world.

One must know that the diameter of the main world of a small world was at least five light-years!

And just as Lin Chen's true spirit power swept across Mars, his pupils suddenly contracted.

In his perception, there was actually a massive and ancient palace on Mars.

A mysterious power outside the palace blocked his true spirit sensing.

"What is this...!"
