He dared to declare with such certainty that the other party had been enslaved because of the information provided by the intelligence department, as well as his understanding of the situation.

First of all, there was the strange Myriad Gods Hall. It was clearly a cosmic bandit organization that did every kind of evil, yet it had made itself look like some sort of religion.

Zhou Lin had studied their worship ceremonies. They were nothing more than sacrifices in which living people were offered up alive.

With such a large number of living beings, Hai Yue naturally could not have made them disappear out of thin air. Then there was the strange Temple, as well as those traces.

Moreover, none of the Immortal Spirits in Luojin Universe Nation had anything to do with the words Myriad Gods or Divine Lord.

Instead, it resembled the style of the Aliens.

Zhou Lin brought out his deductions, along with the intelligence from the Virtual Universe Company, and placed them before Venerable Luojin.

"Respected Nation Master," Zhou Lin said solemnly. "Things may be even more complicated than I thought. I'll have to trouble you to personally investigate the truth behind this."

Venerable Luojin let out a long sigh. He was no fool, and the things Zhou Lin had brought out were highly convincing.

First of all, Apolshido had been in contact with the Cosmic Army.

Second, he had embezzled a large quantity of military supplies. Finally, he had been in the deepest contact with Hai Yue and the others.

When this organization had first appeared, it had not been called by this name.

But Zhou Lin was puzzled by one thing. They had enslaved the offspring of a Universe Venerable, only to use him for this sort of thing? It made no sense.

Yet the facts were right before his eyes. This Apolshido clearly no longer acted like a human.

Pfft!

With a thud, Apolshido's body, which stood more than three meters tall, collapsed directly onto the ground. It was obvious that his soul had been annihilated.

"Damn it!" Venerable Luojin's eyes turned bloodshot, and an incomparably terrifying will impact swept outward.

Fortunately, he had deliberately taken care not to affect Zhou Lin.

Otherwise, with Zhou Lin's current willpower, he would have been instantly blasted into a vegetable, or even killed.

The two princes were the unlucky ones. Their wills had both become hazy, and they felt unbearably miserable as their Undying Divine Bodies began to tremble in pain.

He was a dignified Universe Venerable who had guarded the Borderland Territory for countless billions of years, yet his offspring had been enslaved. What a disgrace!

When a Venerable grew furious, even a star system would tremble beneath his might if he did not deliberately restrain himself. Venerable Luojin was practically on the verge of madness.

Zhou Lin could not help but feel fear in his heart.

It was not that he was especially afraid himself, but rather a fear originating from biological instinct.

"Regarding this matter, the company will investigate it thoroughly, and so will I." Only after a long while did Venerable Luojin finally calm down.

He could no longer remember how many years it had been since he had been this angry.

Several hundred billion light-years from the Human Territory, this region was relatively desolate. It could be considered a rather poor area, yet it was also home to a small but not insignificant race: the Yanxu Tribe.

The tribe had only a few Universe Venerables, making it one of the lowest-status types of races in the Primordial Universe.

A race with a Universe Overlord or one or two Universe Masters could be considered fairly powerful.

Only races with a Universe's Strongest were Peak Races.

"I didn't expect it to be discovered after all." The Myriad Gods Elder of the Yanxu Tribe spoke with some vexation. Many years ago, he had happened to encounter Apolshido, who had been adventuring at the time.

In a rarely visited Cosmic Secret Realm, he had discovered an Immortal Spirit of the human race.

He had easily enslaved the other party with his methods, then discovered Apolshido's astonishing identity and decided to make use of him.

This was also what had puzzled Zhou Lin, Venerable Luojin, and the Virtual Universe Company the most. If Apolshido had been enslaved by another Peak Race...

What was the point of using this prince to seek profit and sell people?

Little did they know that Apolshido had merely been enslaved by a weak race, and all those sacrifices had been taken away and devoured.

Apolshido had also obtained a large number of advanced weapons and many controlled resources for them. Although their value was not particularly high,

these resources were not easy to acquire.

For example, the many weapons of humanity, as well as advanced spacecraft and the like—weak races had no way to obtain such things.

One could tell just by looking at the natives of Yanji Continent.

There was no need for Zhou Lin to worry about what came next. He was responsible for supervising the two princes as they were escorted away, after which he returned to his own residence.

After leaving the Imperial Palace, Zhou Lin discovered that his forehead was already damp with sweat. Venerable Luojin's fury just now had been overwhelming, and even restrained, it had left him sitting on pins and needles.

The difference in life levels was simply too great. When a High Venerable grew furious, the resulting will impact was enough to make countless Immortal Spirits faint, or even severely damage their souls.

"A High Venerable of the universe... I wonder when I'll possess strength like that." This was the first time Zhou Lin had truly felt his own weakness.

Facing an ordinary Immortal Spirit, he dared to say that he could escape.

The feeling of weakness was unpleasant. Some people would be crushed by it, believing that they could only remain that way for the rest of their lives, unable to cross the towering mountains before them.

But Zhou Lin instead felt that he would one day surpass them.

"And just now, when he released his pressure, I instinctively entered the Void Realm. But it seems Venerable Luojin didn't notice?"

Zhou Lin walked along while recalling what had happened.

Half of his body had clearly been inside the Void Realm. With a Universe Venerable's perception, which was so keen, there was no reason he should have failed to notice.

"That's not right either." Zhou Lin shook his head. He had not completely entered the Void Realm. In fact, from the outside, he had not even become illusory.

Before the Dao Creation, the Void Realm itself was an reflection of the real world.

"Reality is also void, and the void is also reality." Zhou Lin had actually understood this logic long ago, but one had to personally comprehend and experience it before one could suddenly realize it by chance.

His unconscious evasion into the Void Realm had caused the accumulation from his decades of arduous cultivation to suddenly become clear at this moment.

If the Void Realm could reach the level of Dao Creation, it would completely transcend the real world and become a truly independent illusory world.

Zhou Lin's heart was excited, and he quickened his pace.

He had far too many thoughts, but he was still inside Luojin City. It was inconvenient to put them into practice here.

The moment he returned to his manor, Zhou Lin's body became illusory and transparent. His entire person vanished completely, merging into the Void Realm Domain.

An area spanning a full fifty thousand kilometers was within the range of his Void Realm.

The entire northern outskirts of Luojin City was completely enveloped, while his body also began to change, becoming fully particleized and merging into the range of the Void Realm.

He was the Void Realm, and the Void Realm was him.

All attacks would be dispersed across a range of one hundred thousand miles. Killing him would be incredibly difficult, and the attacker would also need a method capable of attacking the Void Realm.

Take an E-Class laser gun, for example. Its power might be considerable, but it was merely a pure energy item and could barely penetrate the Void Realm.

Even a planet-destroying cannon could only penetrate one-thousandth of the way inside.

This Void Body was nothing special. Every Immortal Spirit possessed Law amplitude and exquisite realms, so even having one-tenth of the force penetrate would be enough to make him suffer.

The crucial point was that he could now cultivate the Myriad Tribulation Primordial Body.
