483: Chapter 486 The Four-Dimensional World

Only the absolutely pure power of the Origin could be accepted by his body.

You Luo's consciousness sank into the depths of Lu Chen's sea of energy.

There, her Origin was constantly being tempered, transforming toward a higher life level.

But Lu Chen knew nothing of all this.

He had long since lost consciousness.

All he could do now was quietly await rebirth.

Human infants in the Four-Dimensional dimension required a full thirty-month gestation period before descending into the world.

But in this lifetime, Lu Chen was destined to be without the love of parents.

Because just as he was about to be born, a world-ending disaster descended.

His mother perished after being swept into a spatial rift.

Lu Chen, in his infant form, landed in a strange and unfamiliar world.

This world was a peculiar blend where the three-dimensional and Four-Dimensional intersected and fused.

In this world, everyone was born a Mortal.

But as long as one possessed sufficient talent, they could advance to become a Four-Dimensional Lifeform without any restraints.

This tiny infant fell into a trash can in a small human town, crying helplessly.

A passing Beggar heard the crying coming from the trash can.

"Poor child... Who could be so cruel as to discard such a beautiful baby here?"

The old Beggar took Lu Chen into his arms and brought him back to his dilapidated shack in the slum.

"Little fellow, you'll have to make do here for now. I'm sorry."

He carefully placed Lu Chen on his own dirty bed.

Then, the old Beggar turned and left, intending to find something for the child to eat.

In the fifth household next door to his, lived a couple.

They had given birth to a child just a few days ago.

The old Beggar decided to ask if the mother could spare some milk for Lu Chen to drink.

At the very least, he wanted to ask for guidance on how to raise an infant.

The old Beggar had lived his entire life alone.

But for some unknown reason, the moment he saw Lu Chen, he resolved to adopt this child.

He went to that household and explained his purpose.

"Semu, bring the child over. Because of my malnutrition, I don't have much milk, but it can last for about five or six days."

"You must quickly find another source of milk for the child."

Semu thanked the person, returned home, and brought Lu Chen over.

Lu Chen was exceptionally well-behaved from a young age.

He only drank milk from one side of the mother's breast.

He never touched the other side.

Because that was reserved for her own flesh and blood.

Five days later, when Mary told Semu about this, the old Beggar smiled with relief.

"My good grandson, truly a little gentleman. Don't worry, little fellow, Grandpa has brought you food. Even if Grandpa starves, I will never let you suffer."

Eight years passed in the blink of an eye.

A little boy whose handsome features resembled those of a nobleman.

He was sitting on the edge of a cliff, gazing out at the distant land.

"Lu Chen, why did you run all the way here alone again? Doesn't your grandfather forbid you from coming here by yourself? It's very dangerous."

Another boy's voice came from behind him.

Though he wasn't as handsome as Lu Chen, he was still clearly defined in features.

Lu Chen did not turn around.

"You know, I like this place. Only here can I feel a sense of inexplicable peace. Luon, why are you here too?"

Luon sat down beside him.

"I came to find you."

"Is something wrong?"

Lu Chen asked.

"I heard my parents say something big! They said tomorrow, emissaries from the Sword Sect will come to the nearby town to recruit Outer Sect Disciples!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Chen finally showed a look of interest.

"Oh? Tell me about it quickly."

He had always yearned for the path of Cultivation.

Because his grandfather always told him stories of powerful beings who could fly through the air, move the earth, and shatter mountains with a single punch.

Those stories held a fatal attraction for him.

In fact, he often had a strange dream.

In the dream, he transformed into an unparalleled powerhouse and annihilated a place called the 'Abyss'.

But every time the dream reached the crucial point, he would wake up startled.

"Lu Chen, let's go to town together tomorrow! I've long wanted to see a real Cultivator!"

"Alright."

The next morning.

"Grandfather, Luon and I are going to town."

Semu's appearance had not changed at all compared to eight years ago; he showed no sign of aging.

"Go, be careful on the road. I heard those Cultivators are all arrogant; don't get too close."

"Grandfather, you knew about this long ago?"

Lu Chen asked in surprise.

Semu just smiled without saying anything more.

Lu Chen and Luon's home was in the slum, five kilometers away from the town.

The two sprinted all the way, and after about an hour, they finally reached the town.

The usually quiet and peaceful small town was now teeming with people, bustling and lively.

As far as the eye could see, there were youths of the same age as them everywhere.

"It seems everyone is here to try their luck."

Luon murmured.

The two walked towards the direction of the Town Hall, which was the recruitment site for this time.

In the open space in front of the Town Hall stood a man and a woman.

They both had black hair and black eyes, just like Lu Chen.

They wore white robes embroidered with a sword-shaped emblem.

Their aura was extraordinary,

As if untouched by the slightest trace of worldly dust.

The blonde, blue-eyed town mayor stood respectfully behind the two figures, like an attendant.
