Qin Heng continued to focus on his comprehension, ignoring the changes in the outside world.
After Feng Qianxue left the Chaotic Mist Star Realm, Qin Heng was the only genius of this generation still here. Their usual conversations no longer mentioned the Flying Snake Race.
As one pursuing the Dao, Qin Heng had little spare time to chat with them. His divine soul was wholly immersed in the planar world within the void black hole, constantly pushing objects into it to observe the changes, emulating the marks of the Great Dao, and studying the Dimensional Compression Method.
In the blink of an eye, over a thousand Void Ember Days had passed.
Qin Heng gradually gained some understanding of the mysteries of Dimension Compression. He had not fully grasped it yet, but at least he had found the way in.
On the 1,203rd Void Ember Day since arriving in the Old Universe, news came through the Illusion God Realm Genius Chat Group: Han Ren of the Netherworld had died.
His divine soul imprint had dispersed. Ten people had become nine.
The sudden turn of events caused Qin Heng to halt his comprehension. Everyone was caught off guard.
"When was the last time any of you contacted Han Ren?" Qin Heng asked.
Meng Xing replied, "Han Ren had always been a man of few words. The last time he spoke was over a hundred days ago, when we were discussing the Gold Calamity Hell Secret Realm. He said to be careful of the powerful beings within the secret realm. After that, he never spoke again, and then he was suddenly gone."
It was clear that Han Ren had likely encountered a supreme powerhouse by chance and been erased by that person's power.
He might not even have had a chance to struggle.
