The voice of the Eldritch God rang out.
"Li Chen, how about letting me out?"
"Since you want to leave this universe, why not let me out? I possess Six Great Authority within me; even being an aid would be beneficial."
"At least that way, you'll still have allies."
Li Chen said expressionlessly, "With Six Great Authority at your disposal, do you think you could survive even if I placed you in the outside world?"
"Authority is indeed terrifying, but it's even more terrifying when it comes to you, because it will not only bring me disaster, but also attract countless Gods to kill me. Do you think I don't have enough trouble already?"
The Eldritch God chuckled and said, "I think you're thinking incorrectly. Isn't sealing me inside the same as keeping me within your body?"
"We are one. Once we are separated from this universe, powerful Gods outside will be able to see through you at a glance, and the result will be the same. So why not release me? My death will have nothing to do with you."
Li Chen frowned and began to think.
The words of the Eldritch God are not entirely wrong. Even gods wouldn't dare to imagine having Six Great Authority in one God. This guy is a ticking time bomb. Once discovered, he might die without a burial place. Even if he has the Forbidden his biggest trump card, it is still someone else's world. There are definitely unimaginable ways to deal with the Forbidden.
Moreover, being God born from Forbidden, he was the opposite of all other Gods. Under such circumstances, everything once again pushed towards death.
Now, unless he becomes powerful enough to rule the entire planet as he is now, he will Forbidden. However, he doesn't know what kind of world the outside world is.
I'm also reflecting on whether I should settle down and reflect.
Or so I stepped into this enormous vortex.
As he pondered, the Eldritch God kept repeating in his ear, because he understood that Li Chen would not kill him. The Six Great Authority were extremely important; if he died, everything would dissipate, and it would attract the attention of many external Gods. This was why, even though Li Chen was dead, he still allowed him to devour the Six Great Authority, because Li Chen could not control them.
One Forbidden Authority has already allowed him to climb to his current position. If all Six Great Authorities were to be concentrated in one body, even after hundreds of millions of reincarnations, such a situation might not be successful. Therefore, only this Eldritch God born from Authority is worthy of being this "vessel".
But he was also afraid that Li Chen wouldn't let him out.
He couldn't win a fight against him, and besides, the Forbidden Door belonged to Li Chen; would he dare to break through it?
If that were the case, Li Chen would kill him immediately.
Now, all we can do is use words to get Li Chen to agree that the Eldritch God is useful and a dangerous bomb. Only then will he have a chance to escape. Once he escapes, the Eldritch God will naturally have various ways to devour these Authority within him as quickly and completely as possible.
At that time, he unexpectedly found a way to defeat Li Chen in one fell swoop, and even broke out of the universe to embark on the path of seizing Authority Power.
But all of this was just the idea of Eldritch God.
The decision-making power is still in Li Chen's hands.
Li Chen pondered, talking to himself.
"The universe, the Great World... pollution, what would happen if I released the pollution from this world?"
"No, that will only hasten annihilation."
"But if I spend a few years honing my skills and further improving them, would the outcome be different?"
Ultimately, he had no idea about the unknown outside world.
Only after understanding the situation did I realize that now was the time to make a choice. Going out would most likely result in death, or even being sent back like Li Chen. But doing so would expose my own existence.
They could be in danger at any moment.
Just like Li Chen, who has lived in constant fear for billions of years... how can he even talk about pursuing freedom? He might as well die in this dark universe.
It was as if Li Chen's voice was coming from beside my ear.
So, have you made up your mind?
Li Chen nodded, his gaze utterly calm.
At this moment, his desire to step out of the universe surged like never before. Even if it meant facing life and death, he was determined to see the world of these countless universes.
"I've already embarked on the road, and no matter how bumpy or dangerous the path ahead, nothing can stop me from setting out on the road to freedom."
The long night passed in the blink of an eye, and I don't know how much time had gone by.
In the void of the universe, a figure was surrounded by thick clumps of black matter, which suddenly condensed into a drop of liquid and flowed into the figure's brow.
With a "buzzing" sound.
The surrounding swirling rocks all exploded and turned into dust.
Li Chen's long black hair reached his waist, and the polluted aura emanating from him grew even stronger. He murmured, "Five years... I can't believe it's been five years in the blink of an eye."
"The time has finally come to take this step."
He stood up, looked at the silent universe, glanced in a certain direction, and slowly moved forward. Every void he passed seemed to echo with whispers, and countless scarlet eyes watched from the shadows as the figure disappeared into the distance, not daring to utter a sound.
Li Chen is too terrifying now...
After five years of accumulation, he had absorbed enough Forbidden Substances to fill half the universe. Even he himself didn't know if his current level still belonged to that of God.
Because he didn't feel tired or hit a bottleneck, he only felt that his body, soul, and strength were still growing every day and every hour.
If he continues at this rate Forbidden Substance in the entire universe will be absorbed by him, which undoubtedly serves as a wake-up call for Li Chen.
Just how powerful must the Old Gods be to transform an entire universe into something like this? He himself had only grasped Forbidden they couldn't control—if that were the case... the Old Gods' power was beyond comprehension, perhaps even surpassing the Gods he currently considered to be.
The fact that those Gods could survive in a world where the old gods existed indicates that they were only stronger, not weaker.
It's time to set off now. After all, even if I improve my strength to the maximum possible level and still can't win, then I won't have another chance if I come back.
Floating in the universe, it is unclear whether a barrier exists as far as humans know, but as Li Chen gets closer to one direction, the amplitude of that strong barrier fluctuation becomes more and more obvious.
It seemed to be right in front of him, yet he couldn't quite grasp it.
Li Chen frowned as he stood in the void, his gaze sweeping over the silent universe around him. After a moment of contemplation, he suddenly raised his arm and scattered a Forbidden Substance into the void.
A buzzing sound suddenly appeared.
A rift appeared in the void. Li Chen turned his head to look behind him, paused for a moment, and then walked in without hesitation.
"I am coming..."
