323: Seven years?

Although the energy generated by the self-destruction of the Mad Black Hole was terrifying, even capable of destroying Cosmic Beasts at the Cosmic Level, for Lin Tianwei, these seemingly terrifying energies posed no threat whatsoever.

No matter how formidable the energy, if it couldn't hit its target, it was all in vain.

With Lin Tianwei's Instantaneous Movement speed, these energies could only trail behind him, eating dust.

Lin Tianwei even had time to look back.

To watch the fireworks produced by the ignited Mad Black Hole... Instantaneous Movement, infinite Instantaneous Movement!

Even though this Mad Black Hole was ridiculously large, Lin Tianwei still saw its edge in a very short amount of time.

Looking at the distinct boundary before him, Lin Tianwei simply stepped across it and left the Mad Black Hole.

This terrifying black hole, which had tried to devour Lin Tianwei, ultimately paid the price.

It became a sacrifice for Lin Tianwei's growth.

Perhaps influenced by the Mad Black Hole's self-destruction, this black region also became extremely unstable.

It was estimated that a similar explosion would occur very soon.

This Chaos Universe was destined to fall into self-destruction.

But thankfully.

It could be considered to have died for a good cause.

All the treasures that had been painstakingly nurtured within it were plundered by Lin Tianwei, becoming his possessions.

Feeling the numerous treasures in the Tiger Tooth Space, as well as the Space Energy Star that had regained its vitality, and the majestic Star Power, Lin Tianwei expressed great satisfaction.

This exploration journey into the Chaos Universe was a great harvest.

Not only did he resolve all the hidden dangers at once, but he also gained a large number of additional treasures.

After this, Lin Tianwei would be even more confident in participating in the Lotus Auction.

Time-element Talent.

A rare and powerful time-element Talent.

Lin Tianwei truly looked forward to how much stronger it could make him.

His terrifying Mental Power surged out again, and Lin Tianwei quickly explored everything around him.

Soon, he located his current position.

The coordinates were surprisingly a hundred and eight thousand miles away from where he first entered the Mad Black Hole.

That makes sense.

The Mad Black Hole moved extremely fast.

Lin Tianwei had also wasted a lot of time inside, so it was naturally impossible for him to still be in the original location.

After all, this was not the story of 'carving a mark on the boat to find a lost sword'.

Fortunately.

After the Space Energy Star was liberated, the Space Energy Lin Tianwei could use became even more terrifying.

It was enough to support him in continuing his infinite Instantaneous Movement.

However, before that, Lin Tianwei first took out Zeta's communicator.

He had spent a long time in the Mad Black Hole.

Having lost his sense of time, Lin Tianwei didn't know how long he had been there.

So he could only rely on the instrument's help to determine the time.

As for why he didn't take out the communicator to check the time in the Mad Black Hole?

Lin Tianwei naturally didn't trust the quality of the communicator.

This simplest type of communicator could not withstand the devouring power within the Mad Black Hole.

It would be completely destroyed in an instant.

After all, it was only worth one hundred yuan coin, and expecting it to have too strong a defense was a bit much to ask.

Six years, ten months, and three days!

Looking at the time displayed on the communicator, Lin Tianwei was immediately stunned.

He really didn't expect this trip to the Mad Black Hole to consume so much time.

It was longer than Lin Tianwei had anticipated.

Fortunately, there were still a few months left until the ten-year Agreement with Luo Ji to participate in the Lotus Auction.

Lin Tianwei was not afraid of missing this grand auction.

However, precisely because of this, Lin Tianwei dared not waste any time.

Plans often don't keep up with changes.

If the Lotus Auction changed even slightly, Lin Tianwei might not be able to make it.

Under Lin Tianwei's cost-no-object Instantaneous Movement, he quickly left the black region and entered the central area of this Chaos Universe.

This was also the area where he had separated from Tore.

He just didn't know if Tore was still waiting for him here.

And what would happen between him and Kai.

Spotless.

This was Lin Tianwei's first impression upon arriving in the central area.

Although there were some planets that hadn't existed before, it was incredibly clean, with no dust or debris whatsoever.

It was as if it hadn't experienced the scene of a planetary explosion at all, completely different from the scene when Lin Tianwei had thoroughly destroyed it before.

It was as if this place had been completely cleaned and tidied, unsettlingly clean.

With his powerful sensory abilities, Lin Tianwei easily found Tore's figure.

That's right, Tore was still in the central area and hadn't left.

Or rather, he simply didn't have the ability to leave.

Kai was merely an auxiliary tool that Lin Tianwei had temporarily lent him, so it was naturally impossible for it to follow him when he left.

And with his strength, which was only Star-level 4, he had no way to successfully traverse various regions and safely leave this place.

That's right.

Tore had now raised his strength to Star-level 4.

During these nearly seven years, Tore had not been idle.

Cleaning up the battlefield.

This was what Tore was mainly doing.

Although this place had been completely plundered by Lin Tianwei, it didn't mean it was entirely without value.

One must know that there were still an extremely terrifying number of treasure fragments here.

These 'trash' that Lin Tianwei didn't care for were considered top-tier treasures in Tore's eyes.

They were excellent choices for assisting cultivation or as auxiliary materials for refining inner planets.

Because the central area was simply too vast, even with Kai's assistance, Tore spent a full three years cleaning it up.

Although these three years were extremely monotonous, considering his considerable gains, Tore was overjoyed.

However, as time went on, Tore didn't wait for Lin Tianwei's return for a long time, so he could only try to find things to do.

Cultivation was undoubtedly the best way for Cosmic Beasts to utilize their time.

With Kai's vigilance, the central area was also considered very safe, so Tore wasn't afraid of dying there.

After all, cultivation was also a very dangerous endeavor.

Not all Cosmic Beasts possessed the formidable power of Lin Tianwei, with a Legendary-level Danger Perception Talent to rely on.

This was also the meaning of the existence of clans and factions.

A trustworthy place was always crucial for Cosmic Beasts, no matter the time.

After much thought, Tore finally decided to stabilize his realm first.

Thanks to the Star Power emanating from Lin Tianwei, Tore successfully crossed the most difficult stage and became a Star-level 3 powerhouse.

However, this was only the beginning of his cultivation.

Although Tore had broken through to Star-level 3, his realm was not stable.

He still needed to carefully nurture the planet within him to truly reach the strength of Star-level 3.

After all, Star-level planets that could generate more Star Power also rotated faster.

This also meant that they required higher intensity to achieve the effect of providing more Star Power.

Tore had never thought that he could achieve a triple jump in strength in one go.

This kind of thing was simply not suitable for an ordinary Cosmic Beast like him; it was an achievement only Legendary geniuses could accomplish.

Furthermore, Tore was poor enough that the cultivation resources he prepared were extremely limited, only barely allowing him to break through to Star-level 1.

The remaining two levels were forcibly broken through, under circumstances of resource scarcity.

If it weren't for the abundant and pure Star Power emanating from Lin Tianwei, Tore might not have been able to barely raise his strength to Star-level 3 under such circumstances.

Precisely because of this, Tore needed some time to consolidate his realm.

Otherwise, a slight mistake could lead to a planetary explosion and a decline in his realm.

At this time, the treasure fragments Tore had just obtained from cleaning up the central area came in handy.

Although it was a bit regrettable, he still used these treasure fragments as cultivation materials to Reinforce his own planet.

He began to refine them little by little, Reinforcing the Star-level planet within him.

Strength was the foundation of action.

It must be said that even as fragments, due to their inherently high quality, these treasure fragments still had extremely strong effects.

They not only increased the strength of Tore's inner Star-level planet but also incidentally improved their quality.

In the same amount of time, Tore could obtain far more Star Power than ordinary Cosmic Beasts.

This also meant that his strength would be superior to that of ordinary Star-level Cosmic Beasts.

This was the importance of cultivation resources.

Better cultivation resources could allow Cosmic Beasts of the same realm to exert even greater strength.

Cosmic Beasts with weaker starting points might even never have the chance to catch up with those with stronger starting points.

Fortunately.

Tore was undoubtedly a lucky person.

Although his foundation was extremely poor, considered absolutely at the bottom throughout the entire universe.

But he was lucky enough to meet Lin Tianwei, this super, super, super powerful backer.

Not only did it allow him to make a triple jump in strength, achieving a leap from Planet Level 9 to Star-level 3.

He also picked up enough cultivation resources to consolidate his realm in one fell swoop, allowing him to exert even greater strength within the same realm.

Even after doing so, Tore still had some resources left over, enough to raise his strength to Star-level 4.

Although this level of strength was something Lin Tianwei could easily wipe out in a whole area, in the Extremely Cold Universe, as long as he kept a low profile, he could still live a very comfortable life.

Killing enemies above his level?

This might no longer be a dream for Tore.

However, Tore's good luck ended there.

After reaching Star-level 4, Tore would face a terrifying challenge.

Although the central area had been cleared by Lin Tianwei, becoming a vacuum zone with almost no danger.

This did not mean that this area would remain safe forever.

How could those planets wandering in the core region let go of this empty area?

Even due to the most basic laws of physics, they gradually encroached upon the central area where Tore was.

Attempting to turn this area into their paradise.

For Lin Tianwei, such planets actively offering themselves up for him to harvest was definitely a super great thing.

But for Tore, who was not strong enough, this was undoubtedly a nightmare, a nightmare he couldn't avoid.

Most importantly, Kai's remaining energy at this time was not much, only forty-eight percent.

Coupled with Lin Tianwei's unknown return date.

In this situation, Tore could only flee frantically like a mouse.

He never expected that his strength had just increased, and he hadn't even had time to feel the joy of the improvement.

Yet he was once again reduced to a stray dog, utterly pathetic.

Initially, there weren't many planets invading the central area, and this game of hide-and-seek was still somewhat manageable for Tore.

But as time went on, more and more planets invaded the central area.

They crashed around, eager to destroy everything they encountered.

Explosions resounded one after another; this was a planetary carnival.

But it was also Tore's terrible nightmare.

The safe haven he had painstakingly found might explode terribly the next time.

Not only was it not safe at all, but it might even blow Tore to ashes.

Precisely because of this extremely harsh survival environment, Kai's energy also began to deplete rapidly.

Soon it hit rock bottom.

This was truly adding insult to injury.

Forced into a corner, Tore could only take out one of the three treasures bestowed upon him by Lin Tianwei and feed it to Kai.

Kai was, after all, a Mech Clan, with a body structure completely different from humans.

What humans could eat, he might not be able to eat.

But what humans couldn't eat, he might very well be able to eat.

This treasure, named chaos thunder crystal, was precisely such a thing.

The lightning-attribute energy filling it was the best energy source for the Mech Clan, but it was a nightmare for non-lightning-element Cosmic Beasts.

Although somewhat reluctant, Tore ultimately chose to feed the chaos thunder crystal to Kai.

After all, although his strength had improved, he was not yet powerful enough to survive freely in the central area.

With Kai's assistance, he was already performing so poorly.

Once Kai fell into dormancy due to insufficient energy, he would be even less likely to survive here.

Fleeing here, leaving here, might be a good choice.

But it was also a choice Tore could never make.

He had promised Lin Tianwei to wait for him here.

Not to mention whether Kai would agree to this matter.

If he broke the promise first and fled here, although he could save a chaos thunder crystal, it would be a disaster for Tore.

This meant he would lose Lin Tianwei's favor.

Losing the favor of a big shot who could easily help him soar.

Meeting Lin Tianwei was perhaps Tore's greatest opportunity in this life.

Losing such an opportunity for a small gain was, for Tore, undoubtedly more painful than being killed.

So unless it was a matter of life and death, Tore would never give up.

Giving up staying here and continuing to wait for Lin Tianwei's opportunity.

And so, a very bizarre scene appeared in the central area of this Chaos Universe.

A robust, one-eyed spider-man, using all eight legs, was frantically fleeing.

It was like he was performing a mad escape show with his life. (End of Chapter)
