"What the hell is this place?! Why are all these experts of this level coming here to take a look around all the time?!"

Although Han Yan now could easily defeat this former God King with just a lowly third or fourth-tier ring.

However, it still has sharp eyes. The two enormous mental beings it just scanned were experts whose scale was enough to cover the entire planet and even the surrounding small star systems. There are usually only one or two experts of this level in a star field. They are all sixth-ring level Shen Mu. But two of them have passed by in just a moment.

"I say... there's definitely something wrong with this place..." Han Shenwang breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help but mutter under his breath.

"What's wrong? What happened to you just now?" Ding Yiran had no idea what was wrong with this old man again.

"We'll talk about that later, wait, here we go again!!" Han Yan quickly held her breath, not daring to make a sound.

Feeling the immense pressure from the surrounding spiritual energy, like an ocean, pressing down on all the experts on this planet, he felt utterly helpless.

Meanwhile, outside the Red Pattern Star.

Lin Hui's figure slowly emerged, gazing at the floating clouds opposite him.

"I already said there's nothing here."

"I really couldn't find it, I'm sorry, Hui, it's just a strict requirement from above, I was just following the rules." Yun's tone remained as calm and nonchalant as ever.

Over the years of cooperation, Yun had already discovered Lin Hui's whereabouts on Red Pattern Star.

Yun's true identity as Ping Yun, the commander of the Eighth Army, had already been revealed to him by Lin Hui through probing.

"I hope there won't be a next time," Lin Hui said impatiently.

"Absolutely not. But speaking of which, Hui, are you really not planning to join? We are currently in dire need of talented individuals," Yun said softly.

"If I join, your Endless Divine Clan will definitely regret it later," Lin Hui said bluntly.

"Hehe... I was just mentioning it casually. Although I don't know what you mean by that, the Commander-in-Chief has brought it up several times before. If you're interested, you can go to my clan's divine realm." Ping Yun said no more, glanced at the Red Pattern Star behind Lin Hui, and then disappeared in a flash.

This planet will most likely be considered Lin Hui's private domain from now on, and no more powerful God Clan will cause trouble unless things turn sour.

Lin Hui floated in place, glanced back at Red Pattern Star, and then disappeared as well.

He is currently in the crucial breakthrough period of the fifth level of the sword technique, and no one is allowed to come here to interfere with his cultivation.

Although the true cultivation of the physical body takes place in the Heart Source Demon Palace within the Mind Sea, the physical body here is affected, and the physical body will also have to divert its attention to this, which will inevitably affect the cultivation.

The conscious subject returned to the Heart Source Demon Palace.

Lin Hui was floating in mid-air on the second floor, having reached the crucial moment of the fifth level.

Reaching this stage in the Great Yin Yang Time Reversal Sword Technique signifies true mastery. The spiritual burdens previously severed were flesh, bones, and internal organs; the fourth stage eliminated the most easily overcome of the six desires—the desire of the nose; the fifth stage should address the desire of the mouth...

The desire for smell, or the olfactory desire, is a relatively easy aspect to overlook. It's fairly easy to manage.

However, oral desire is more difficult to control because it is essentially the desire to eat. Once it is cut off, it will inevitably have a serious impact on daily eating.

Many practitioners of the Great Yin Yang Time Reversal Sword Technique eventually self-destruct, partly because all their desires have been severed, leaving them feeling that all things are devoid of interest.

Lin Hui placed both hands on the Sun-Eating Sword and used a special sword technique to mobilize a large amount of mysterious Time String power within his body.

The power of the Time String absorbed from the body of the Red Pattern Star was rapidly enhancing his physical strength in a miraculous way.

Unbeknownst to them, time passed, and the continuous strengthening of their bodies by the power of the Time String finally reached its limit once again.

This time, new constraints need to be broken in order to achieve a new round of absorption and enhancement.

The mass of each segment of the body and soul has a corresponding speed limit and enhancement limit. If you want to continue moving forward, you must sacrifice a part of yourself..." Lin Hui understood more and more.

This is the core principle of the Great Yin Yang Time Reversal Sword Technique.

The mind and body are too heavy; only by constantly discarding them can one move ever faster.

And at this moment, it's time for the fifth level of the sword technique to abandon the desire for food.

At this point, he had actually considered whether to wait until the sword technique had fully evolved before continuing his cultivation, so that he could avoid the various negative side effects of the Great Yin Yang Time Reversal Sword Technique.

But time didn't allow him to wait leisurely...

Given the current situation, he needs to improve his own abilities as soon as possible.

The Endless Divine Clan war among the gods is about to use human territory as its battlefield, and a mysterious, star-like being of immense power is closing in from the shadows. All of this compels him to strengthen himself as quickly as possible...

We can only wait for further evolution to see if the discarded parts can be recovered.

In essence, Lin Hui did not have much resistance to giving up his nasal and oral desires.

At this moment, he felt the shackles appear. He paused briefly, then forced the power of the Time String forward, turning it into a torrent that suddenly rushed through his throat.

In an instant, all the beautiful memories of appetite in his mind turned into black and white, losing all perception and information.

At this moment, the entire memory felt like a puzzle piece was missing.

Past sensory memories lacked oral desire content, and I can no longer feel oral desire now; I will also lose this part of everything forever in the future.

In return, Lin Hui's already increasingly massive body suddenly shrank.

By absorbing the Wind Disaster and converting it into Wind Energy, its enormous body, which had expanded to nearly five meters in length, rapidly shrank back to a much smaller size.

It was as if the density was rapidly compressed, and the body became more solid.

The fifth level of the sword technique has been successfully completed.

With this sword technique, as long as there is enough Time String, all improvements in cultivation will be exceptionally smooth.

Just as Lin Hui was consolidating his newly broken-through cultivation level...

On the Red Pattern Star Ding Yiran frantically applied for a long-distance spaceship flight to another star system from the group, and then contacted her parents and eldest sister who were far away on another planet.

"Leave? Where did you get that information? Why are you leaving? Where are you going?" Ding Peng, who was on an alien planet, laughed. "You didn't watch some alien disaster movie and believe it to be true, did you?"

"Anyway, I've booked your tickets. Remember to board on time! This is no joke, remember, Dad, this is no joke. Get everything else arranged right away, we..." Ding Yizai's words were interrupted by Ding Peng.

"Alright, I don't have time to play disaster games with you. Yi Ran, when are you going to learn from your older sister and younger brother and be more mature? You're already this age, why are you still acting so loud and boisterous? Okay, Yue Xing's phone calls are expensive, I'll talk to you later. That's all, bye."

Smack

The call ended.

Ding Peng, far away in another galaxy, stood inside a research institute and let out a soft breath. He turned to look at his wife, Zhu Xinli, who was approaching.

"It's been repeated phone calls. He actually wants to arrange for a spaceship to let us leave... saying that war is coming... It seems that he must have learned about this through some channels..." Ding Peng's expression was no longer relaxed as before, but solemn and helpless.

"Even Red Pattern Star has heard the news? The news spreads really fast... It's a pity that Yi Ran doesn't know that hiding on Red Pattern Star is actually safer than anywhere else in this trouble... It's in a remote area, and it's already been screened by the God Clan..." his wife, Zhu Xinli, whispered.

"Yes... but due to the confidentiality agreement, we can't say for sure," Ding Peng sighed.

As members of the Interstellar Group in the Human Resistance Front, they spend most of their time in research institutions, studying how to fight against the God Clan, the Dragon Court, and Swallow Fort.

Only they truly understand that the so-called psionic monsters are actually a means devised by the three races to harvest humans.

As researchers, they possess a great deal of classified information, so they dare not spend much time with their children on ordinary days to prevent leaks. They can only ask the neighbors to take care of their children.

Fortunately, the group was very supportive, providing various forms of covert care from a very young age, so the child didn't encounter any bullying, daily humiliation, or accidents.

Aside from the psionic monsters, which were truly beyond their control, all the other groups had done their utmost.

They even arranged a job for the eldest sister, Ding Luo, right after graduation.

After being rejected by his parents Ding Yizai slammed his hand hard on the table next to the phone.

He then immediately called his older sister.

"War? There's already news from within the God Clan, but don't worry." Ding Luo's voice was still calm and gentle. "The reason I didn't mention it to you is because Red Pattern Star is already a relatively safe area. Anywhere else you escape to would be worse than here."

Among the surrounding star systems, this is already one of the best choices.

"But eldest sister... couldn't you think of a way within the God Clan, like escaping the entire Ruin Starfield?" Ding Yiran couldn't help but ask.

"Then we have no choice but to go to the exploration fleet, but the exploration fleet returns for resupply only once every ten years, and it's far from that time now. Don't think too much, Yi Ran. This matter has swept the whole world, a full-scale war involving the three races. No one can stay out of it, you and me, and everyone else." Ding Luo said softly.

Then Ding Luo gave a bunch of detailed advice, telling Ding Yiran to take good care of herself and her younger brother, and that she would be coming back again soon with the child.

Yes, she had a son a few years ago, and now that the turmoil has intensified, she plans to take him back to Red Pattern Star to see the world.

After hanging up the phone, Ding Yiran looked exhausted and finally called Lin Hui.

This time, there's no need for inter-satellite communication; it's just regular intra-satellite communication.

He quickly explained about the boat tickets, but was met with ridicule from his younger brother.

" Second Brother, have you been watching too many movies? War and all that? We're just ordinary people. Even if we escape, where can we escape to?"

Lin Hui's tone was cold and harsh.

"Instead of panicking and running around everywhere, we should first think about how to ensure our safety to the greatest extent possible if we are affected. You don't really think we can escape a war of planetary scale, do you? So the most likely scenario is a war on the surface. And Red Pattern Star is located in a remote area, and it's not an important resource planet or administrative planet. If a war really breaks out, being destroyed will be the last thing on our list. What are you panicking about?"

These words left Ding Yiran speechless.

After hanging up the phone, he canceled his ship ticket and sat in his office, somewhat lost in thought.

"I told you, this whole thing is pointless." The phantom of King Han slowly appeared beside him, his long, straight black hair and fiery figure making Ding Yiran feel a little more at ease.

"I just want to do something... I can't just sit here and wait to die, can I?" Ding Yiran sighed.

"What are you going to do? Then go and cultivate! I've studied the cultivation technique you're practicing that burns potential and lifespan, and it's fine, everything is normal. But you're practicing it without any problems, so it seems the key issue lies with you!" Han Yan said earnestly.
