Age of Evolution

Chapter 576: 577: 5 Years of Progress



This past 5 years had been a formidable ordeal, even for someone with Lin Zhen’s willpower.

He remained vigilant, perpetually wrestling with the malicious energy of the seven Evil Stars, without a moment’s rest.

However, these five years had brought significant honing to Lin Zhen’s Spiritual Power!

Progressing even a little after ascending to the Cui Mang stage in the spiritual realm was incredibly challenging. However, under such circumstances, five years of honing allowed Lin Zhen’s Spiritual Power to break through from the early Cui Mang stage to the late Cui Mang stage in one fell swoop.

Within his Spiritual Consciousness Sea, the original proportion of Cui Mang rank was sixty percent, with sky blue accounting for forty percent. As Lin Zhen broke through, his Cui Mang rank Spiritual Power reached an impressive seventy percent!

Armed with his overpowering Spiritual Power, the battle between Lin Zhen and the seven Evil Stars had finally reached a decisive moment!

Black Hole Devour!

This trump card had not been used by Lin Zhen, he didn’t use it previously due to uncertainty, but now he was ready.

A burst of brilliant light rose from the Evil Star map, the seven Evil Stars screamed pitifully. Ultimately, they could not resist Lin Zhen’s power and they were directly absorbed into the black hole!

All of the malicious energy was exhausted during the five-year tug-of-war with Lin Zhen, transformed into seven starlights, and entered Lin Zhen’s Dark Star Space!

The seven Evil Stars were not illusions but solid entities!

Lin Zhen was also caught off guard by this event.

He originally thought that the Evil Stars would dissipate, but unexpectedly, they entered Dark Star Space rather than his Dantian.

Initially, only one star – the Dark Star – existed within Lin Zhen’s Dark Star Space. However, the abrupt entrance of seven stars, aligned like the Big Dipper, weighed heavily on Lin Zhen’s Dark Star Space.

Boom!!!

Dark Star Space began a furious expansion!

Sweat poured down from Lin Zhen’s forehead. The Dark Star Space was now part of his body, hence such intense activity naturally caused physical discomfort.

“No good! If it continues like this, my Dark Star Space will explode. The Dark Star is merely a planet, while these seven Evil Stars are constant stars!”

“The Star Power brought by the seven constant stars will undoubtedly burst the space. I am sure to die here!”

Although the Star Power brought by the seven constant stars was as vast as the sea, Lin Zhen couldn’t use it. In desperation, he thought of the Evil Star map.

He directly grabbed the Evil Star map. Before he could make a move, the Evil Star map had already slipped into space.

A bright light streaked across within the Dark Star Space. The Evil Star map shattered, becoming seven pieces, each covering one of the seven Evil Stars.

The rampant Star Power of the original seven constant stars instantly converged, dimming their brightness to a sickly pale grey. They looked far less impressive than even ordinary planets.

The majority of the emitted Star Power also returned to the seven Evil Stars.

The imminent danger of Lin Zhen’s Dark Star Space collapsing had finally passed. Although it was still expanding, the pace gradually slowed down.

Lin Zhen leaned against the branch of the Wutong tree, his clothes soaked with sweat.

This was truly a close call. Never would he have expected that after spending five years eradicating the soul power of the seven Evil Stars, he would still almost be killed by them.

“So risky! This Luo Gou must have obtained the Evil Star map intending to refine these stars one by one, creating a space within his body. Not a Dark Star space, but a Seven Evil Star space.”

“If he was able to refine the seven Evil Stars one by one, then their Star Power would undoubtedly reach an unimaginable realm.”

Lin Zhen silently rejoiced at his good fortune. He was not an Evil Star, he could not follow Luo Gou’s path, but he inherently had Dark Star Space, which put him a step ahead of Luo Gou.

However, his lack of experience nearly led him to make a monumental mistake. Had it not been for the Evil Star map, he would have been completely finished.

Having recovered his energy, Lin Zhen turned his attention to his Dark Star Space.

Within the space, the seven constant stars no longer emitted light and heat, as their power was completely isolated by the shattered fragments of the Evil Star map.

The next task for Lin Zhen was to unseal one of the Evil Stars after his Dark Star Space had expanded to a certain extent, so as to tap into their immense Star Power.

Lin Zhen didn’t even dare to think about how much his Star Power would increase if he unsealed all of the Star Power from the seven Evil Stars.

Of course, the unsealing would have to wait until space had expanded to a certain extent. The drastic expansion of space earlier made Lin Zhen feel that he was not far from unsealing the first Evil Star, Ying Huo.

However, the moment the seven Evil Stars entered, their overwhelming fiery Star Power nearly scorched all the plants on the Dark Star to death.

Now, only the Star Fruit Tree and the Cloud-climbing Vine survived, with all other plants instantly perishing.

The Dark Star was like Earth, and the seven Evil Stars were like seven suns. One sun was hot enough, and if there were seven suns, there would be no life on Earth.

The only solution was to keep the suns farther and farther away, so they wouldn’t affect life on Earth. Only then would it be considered a success.

This required Lin Zhen to constantly strive to expand the Dark Star space.

However, although most Dark Star plants died, it was not entirely without benefits.

Apart from the expansion of space, the star power released by the seven evil stars enabled Lin Zhen’s Dark Star power to achieve a substantial increase from the late stage of the Mesozoic era and reached its peak in an instance.

This advancement of more than one small realm increased Lin Zhen’s star power by two thousand.

Over the past five years, Lin Zhen’s body star power reached twelve thousand, and his avatar reached nine thousand. After the star power transfer, it reached twenty-one thousand.

And this time, an increase of two thousand each for his body and avatar allowed Lin Zhen’s total star power to reach twenty-five thousand after the star power transfer!

With such a power, it has surpassed Luo Gou and Peacock. If Lin Zhen returned to the Star System Stage competition at this moment, he confidently could face any opponents in the Star System Stage.

Of course, this only applies within the New World and does not include the masters of the Original World.

After hearing about the Original World, a desire ignited in Lin Zhen’s heart. Within the Star System stage of the Original World, only those with star power over thirty thousand could be considered as geniuses, and those below thirty thousand were mediocre. Lin Zhen would not be one of the mediocre ones, he wanted to be a genius among the geniuses!

The matter of the seven evil stars was dangerous, but it also gave Lin Zhen a massive opportunity.

Unsealing the power of the seven constant stars was Lin Zhen’s goal!

After resting in the Chaotic Star River for about three days, Lin Zhen stood up, leaned against the Wutong tree for a while, then turned and left.

He hadn’t been home for many years, and he missed it.

**********

A fleet was slowly approaching the solar system in the deep universe.

The fleet marked from the Blue Bay Star is a group of merchant ships.

Nowadays, Earth has become a renowned place in the entire Tianhe Empire, and even within the solar dominion.

Not only because it produced a hero, Lin Zhen, but as the capital planet of the Solar dominion, it became an important planet.

Every day countless passenger and merchant ships from various planets come and go in the solar system. Mars, which is close to Earth, has been transformed and has become an essential hub for goods.

Meanwhile, Earth itself is a planet with beautiful scenery.

This fleet’s destination is Mars.

As they crossed the Pluto region, a signal came in, requesting them to accept an infrared scan check.

The ships opened their defense systems one after another, allowing the inspection signal to enter.

Soon, everyone’s information was scanned, confirmed as a merchant ship from Blue Bay Star, and there were no issues with individual information. After the inspection, they were allowed to pass.

“Boss, will there be any problems?”

A red-faced man asked the man in black next to him.

The man in black seemed to be the captain of the ship. He nodded calmly, “Of course, there will be no problem. I have traveled to the solar dominion dozens of time, and every inspection is like this. Once confirmed, they will not check again.”

“That’s good, we’ve waited many days for this. We can’t afford a screw-up at this critical moment.”

“Rest assured, all of us came to Blue Bay Star for trade long ago, and our identities are without problems. It’s all thanks to the Lord’s foresight. The moment he found out about the feud between Tianci and Lin Zhen, he made this move. It’s been almost ten years now, it’s finally our turn to be on stage.”

“Hehe! As soon as we reach the Mars region, we will immediately speed up and enter the parallel universe. We will be on Earth within one minute. By then, Lin Zhen’s family, his parents, his girl group, and those kids will all be ghosts under our knife!”

“We can’t be too careless; after all, it’s in the solar dominion. Lin Zhen’s guards are not weak either.”

“Boss, we have investigated his guards. There are only a few in the star system stage, and they just advanced recently. They are nothing to worry about. We have twenty people in the star system stage alone here. We don’t even have to employ tactics; we can sweep them all!”

“Hmm, tell the brothers to be on their guard. As for Lin Zhen’s family… if it’s possible, don’t kill them yet. Once a person dies, they become worthless. In case Lin Zhen is alive, we can have bargaining chips.”

“I understand, but boss, I think you’re too cautious. Lin Zhen has been missing for five years. Since he entered the Chaotic Star River, apart from opening the Dimensional Universe for a short time, he hasn’t opened his Dimensional Universe in these five years. If he’s alive, don’t you think he would contact his family? I reckon he’s dead.”

“Better safe than sorry. An extra measure of preparation is always right. Remember, we must give our all, whether we are dealing with a lion or a rabbit, and never give the opponent any chance once you make your move.”

“Okay, I will let everyone know and get ready.”

The fleet is slowly moving forward, showing no signs of abnormality. Along the way, although they encountered several patrol ships, none obstructed their progress.

They were nearing Mars, and they were not far from where they usually unloaded their goods.

“Everyone, prepare to speed up! Enter the parallel universe, target: Earth, Ice City Base City, Lin Zhen’s home in Sky City!”

The hidden engines in the five ships started immediately, accelerating at the same time!

The five cargo ships suddenly lost control and headed straight for Earth, and the alarm at Mars was immediately triggered!

“Please note, please note! A fleet does not accept our instructions and suddenly entered the parallel universe and headed towards Earth. Please protect the safety of the lord’s family, pay attention, pay attention! This is an attack, an attack!”
