565: Chapter 568 Outside the Cage

The dream came to an abrupt end.

Lu Chen's consciousness returned to reality.

He opened his eyes.

He found himself lying in an extremely luxurious room.

[Master, please forgive this subordinate's dereliction of duty. I was unable to contact you earlier, so I had to temporarily take control of your body.]

You Luo's voice sounded in his mind.

Lu Chen didn't speak. After a moment of silence, he asked softly.

"You Luo, if I gave you a chance, would you be willing to become human again?"

"The System can function normally without you."

You Luo remained silent for a long time before slowly speaking.

[Master, if it is your will, this subordinate would not hesitate to die ten thousand times.]

[But if it were my own choice... I would rather stay by your side in my current form.]

[My Aptitude is far inferior to yours, Master. Once I revert to being human, I would be unable to help you in the slightest.]

[Master, I beg you.]

Lu Chen let out a soft sigh.

"Alright. Tell me, what has happened since we arrived here?"

[Nothing particularly special.]

[The people of the Sacred Hall hope you rest and recuperate first. Afterwards, they will hold the Saint coronation ceremony for you, announcing it to the entire Origin Dimension.]

"Understood."

"By the way, you mentioned earlier that there was something abnormal here, that you couldn't find any related information. Do you have any leads now?"

[Reporting, Master, still none.]

[But this subordinate speculates that there must be an extremely powerful existence who has infiltrated this place, interfering with my investigation.]

Lu Chen didn't press further.

He took out that Supreme Cultivation Technique of the Origin Sacred Hall from his embrace.

On the cover were five large ancient seal script characters... 'Primordial Enlightenment Scripture'.

['Primordial Enlightenment Scripture': A total of thirty-three Realms.]

[Each Realm Cultivated allows comprehension of one percent of one's own Origin.]

[Upon reaching the thirty-third Realm, one can advance to become the God of Origin.]

[Ding! You have obtained a Cultivation Technique. Do you wish to learn it immediately?]

"Learn."

[Ding! Detecting the Host's special Physique and infinite Origin, the 'Primordial Enlightenment Scripture' has automatically evolved into the 'Infinite Ascension Scripture'!]

['Infinite Ascension Scripture': Each completed Cultivation cycle allows comprehension of one-thousandth of one's own Origin existence.]

Lu Chen's pupils contracted sharply.

According to this Cultivation Technique.

He only needed to complete one thousand Cultivation cycles.

to comprehend one hundred percent of his own Origin existence, reaching an unprecedented Realm!

It must be known.

The 'Primordial Enlightenment Scripture' was already the Peak Cultivation Technique of the Origin Dimension.

Even Cultivating this scripture could at most allow one to advance to a thirty-six-dimensional life form.

And his 'Infinite Ascension Scripture' was undoubtedly a super-divine Cultivation Technique pointing directly beyond the thirty-sixth dimension.

Given enough time, his achievements would be limitless.

Lu Chen immediately sat cross-legged and began circulating the Cultivation Technique to Cultivate.

He wanted to try how long it would take to complete one Cultivation cycle.

However.

Twelve hours passed.

His comprehension of his own Origin existence made no progress.

But on the Four-Dimensional axis within his body.

one million gray seals had appeared out of thin air.

Daylight brightened.

A night of Cultivation had refined his strength a bit further.

[Host: Lu Chen]

[Order: Four-Dimensional (One Million Gray Seals)]

[Strength: Two Four-Dimensional Ultimate Seals]

[Spirit: Two Four-Dimensional Ultimate Seals]

[Soul Skill: Max Level Comprehension]

[System Ability: Myriad Manifestations Creation]

(One Ultimate Seal is equivalent to the power of a ten-dimensional life form.)

The current Lu Chen already possessed the combat power of a ten-dimensional life form.

The gray seals condensed from this Breakthrough.

had further raised his strength.

However.

To continue Breaking Through to higher dimensions.

he first had to condense at least one golden seal on the Four-Dimensional axis.

Lu Chen calmed his mind.

He was just about to continue Cultivating.

*Knock knock knock...*

A knocking sound suddenly rang out.

"Saint, please open the door."

Lu Chen casually waved his hand.

The door swung open in response.

A maidservant stood outside the door, speaking respectfully.

"Sir, in seven days, it will be your coronation ceremony. Please make preparations accordingly."

"Understood. You may leave."

Lu Chen gave a slight nod.

After the maidservant left, Lu Chen closed his eyes and resumed Cultivation.

He urgently wanted to become stronger.

Because he clearly understood that the gap between dimensions was simply worlds apart...

The combat power of an eleventh order dimension.

was equivalent to 1³⁰⁰ times that of a ten-dimensional life form!

If he only relied on the System's sign-in for improvement.

he would need a full nine hundred and ninety-seven days to Break Through to the eleventh order dimension.

This time might not seem long.

But for Lu Chen, it was far too lengthy.

Seven days passed in the blink of an eye.

Lu Chen ended his Cultivation.

He opened his eyes.

and checked his attribute panel.

[Host: Lu Chen]

[Order: Four-Dimensional (Twenty Million Gray Seals)]

[Strength: Two Hundred and Fifty-Six Four-Dimensional Ultimate Seals]

[Spirit: Two Hundred and Fifty-Six Four-Dimensional Ultimate Seals]

[Soul Skill: Max Level Comprehension]

[System Ability: Myriad Manifestations Creation]

But Lu Chen felt no joy whatsoever.

After seven days of arduous Cultivation, he hadn't even completed one Cultivation cycle of the 'Infinite Ascension Scripture'.

"You Luo, how long did it take you to advance to the God of Origin back then?"

Lu Chen suddenly asked.

[Reporting, Master, this subordinate's Aptitude was dull. It took a full five Origin Epochs to manage the Breakthrough.]

You Luo's tone carried a hint of pride.

It must be known.

Advancing to the God of Origin in only five Origin Epochs.

was already an unparalleled, peerless Genius rarely seen throughout the ages in the Origin Dimension.

"How many years is one Origin Epoch equivalent to?"

[One Origin Epoch equals ten trillion years.]

Lu Chen instantly fell silent.

"You truly aren't much of a Genius."

"I should have made you eat more peanuts back then to nourish your brain. Perhaps you could have become as smart as me."

Lu Chen said with a serious, earnest expression.

You Luo was immediately left speechless.

Her master's Aptitude was simply an existence that broke through the Origin Dimension. How could she compare?

Helpless, You Luo could only remain silent.

Just then.

The knocking sound rang out again.

"Saint, the ceremony is about to begin. The guests have already started arriving. Please proceed as soon as possible, or you'll be late."

The maidservant's voice came from outside the door.

Lu Chen adjusted his attire, stood up, and walked out.

Since arriving at the thirty-sixth dimension.

he had stayed in the palace arranged for him by the Sacred Hall.

He hadn't stepped outside the door even once.

"Greetings, Saint. Please follow this servant to the main hall."

Seeing him come out, the maidservant outside the door quickly bowed and saluted, her tone extremely respectful.

"Hmm."

Lu Chen followed the maidservant, walking at a leisurely pace.

He did not know.

that at this moment, the entire thirty-sixth dimension was already abuzz because of his coronation ceremony.

The Origin Sacred Hall.

As the most powerful nine-star power in the Origin Dimension.

since its establishment, it had never appointed a Saint.

There had always been rumors among the people.

that the reason the Sacred Hall delayed appointing a Saint.

was because, across the entire Origin Dimension, no one was qualified for the position.

And now.

not only had the Sacred Hall appointed a Saint.

this Saint's potential was said to even surpass that of the Sacred Hall's Master!
