Endless Divine Clan.

Looking at the fine cracks on the white-gold rune ring behind him in the mirror, Zhu Li's expression turned gloomy.

"I never expected that old guy would have such tricks up his sleeve."

"To directly injure the divine soul residing within the source of the Source Disaster the body—this skill is truly extraordinary, demonstrating that the Nine Heavens Gate was undoubtedly a top-tier sect in the past."

He released a faint Divine Power with one hand and began to meticulously repair the damaged cracks.

Unfortunately, the crack was like a persistent boil, completely impossible to remove.

Withdrawing his hand, Zhu Li for a moment, then turned and teleported away, leaving the God Clan King's Palace and entering the Black Domain.

Without pausing, he made a single gesture with his hand, and an ancient, reddish-brown triangular wooden door appeared out of thin air in front of him.

The edges of the wooden door are carved with numerous writhing animal and human silhouettes.

These silhouettes are strange; they all have one thing in common: a Void Hole in their chests.

Zhu Li reached out and pushed open the door, revealing a vortex of dark purple, resembling quicksand.

He stepped inside and was immediately enveloped in a thick layer of mud and sand.

"Your situation is resolved? Didn't you say you were going to make a final push to break through your cultivation level?" A hoarse, viscous female voice came from the surroundings.

"Something unexpected happened," Zhu Li said in a low voice. "Is there anyone in the sect who can lend a hand this time?"

"Oh? Someone as proud and arrogant as you actually needs help?" the female voice asked in surprise. "I remember you used to look down on everyone, your talent was the highest, and every step of your cultivation was flawless. Then suddenly you became impatient and wanted to use external aids to accelerate your breakthrough. And now, you're even injured?" "I said, there was an accident, and I need extra help," Zhu Li said in a deep voice. "The reward will be all the knowledge crystals accumulated within the last hundred years of my human star field."

"Alright, the terms are acceptable. I'll put it down for you and see who's willing to take it. But you know, because you were too arrogant when you first started, many guys aren't very friendly to you. So there might be fewer people taking the orders," the woman's voice said.

"It's alright... as long as it's done soon." Zhu Li recalled Seven Extinctions's move earlier and knew that if he hadn't been too confident and gone to the enemy's headquarters in the outer Black Domain, where the two sides clashed, he would never have been injured to this extent.

Unfortunately, a miscalculation is a miscalculation.

"By the way, I've noticed You Yan has returned. The Resistance Faction here might make some unusual moves, so the observers within the sect need to keep a close eye on things," Zhu Li added.

"Okay, I'll report it," the woman replied.

On the Red Pattern Star.

The immense pressure from the surrounding air pressed down on the four of them, making it hard for them to breathe.

Unable to move, unable to breathe, and even thinking was impossible due to the immense pressure occupying all nerves.

Because the brain's nerves are completely filled with a massive amount of other bodily signals.

At that moment, the world seemed to have completely lost its color. It wasn't that there was no color at all, but rather that their brains had been compressed to the point that they could no longer recognize the colors of the spectrum.

Everything around began to shatter; the frozen lake crumbled, and countless enormous ice blocks rose into the air, slowly ascending and flying into the sky. As they flew, everything gradually crumbled, turning into particles, until it became a fine, pale blue breeze.

This was the first time Lin Hui had used a new sword technique combined with his ability to control airflow, using his mind as a sword to unleash a profound and mysterious attack on the soul. Before the attack even truly landed, it had already left the four people present completely at his mercy.

call.

A moment later, the immense pressure vanished instantly, and Lin Hui returned to his previous state.

Seeing the four of them looking as if they had been pulled out of the water, he knew that this mission had been accomplished.

Although I really don't want to mix other things into my feelings, power does indeed determine who has the most say among family members.

Seeing the four people's blank stares and stunned expressions, Lin Hui knew they needed some time to process and accept the facts. He then glanced at the reclusive powerhouses of the planet who had appeared in the distance, startled by the sudden appearance of the powerful figures.

Among these people, the weakest are from the Second Ring Road, and the slightly stronger ones are even close to the Fourth Ring Road.

They were either leaders of other factions among the mixed races or high-ranking members of the human resistance coalition.

They were all startled by Lin Hui's presence and rushed over.

Lin Hui's lips moved slightly as he addressed the group.

Since he was relocating, he planned to take some people with him. After all, he was one of the same race as humans, and he wanted to help as much as he could. He wasn't a kind person, but he was willing to help as many people as he could within his means, even if it was just a small favor.

His body soared into the air, and taking advantage of the moment, Lin Hui instantly entered space, returning directly to the Nine Heavens Gate of Wind Disaster. He mentioned the matter to Seven Extinctions. "A place isolated from the effects of the Wind Disaster... That's a good question." Seven Extinctions was eating melon seeds and watching a show with Black Elder in the cultivation hall. The old man was now keeping up with the times, and his ways of passing the time were becoming more and more diverse.

People are getting fatter and fatter.

"Also, there might be quite a lot of people relocating," Lin Hui continued.

"It's actually quite simple. There are many broken fragments of the world in the Wind Disaster, also called world ruins. They are the hard bones left after the world was digested. If you collect some and piece them together, you can create a small world with strong isolation. What's a popular term for it... patching up the sky. Yes, that's it. Just go and patch up the sky." Seven Extinctions said casually with a smile.

"Won't these World Fragment have residual radiation from the Wind Disaster?" Lin Hui asked again, frowning.

"Why don't you just clear it out? After you repair the heavens, you can clean it up again, and a sturdy little world will appear. Generally speaking, this kind of assembled goods can last for at least several thousand years within the Source Disaster, enough for your temporary use. It certainly can't compare to the lifespan of hundreds of millions of years in a normal world," Seven Extinctions continued.

Lin Hui understood, quickly took his leave, and went down to collect the fragments of the Wind Disaster. Throughout the entire ordeal, neither of them Indoma's betrayal.

Clearly, neither the master nor his apprentice cared about this at all.

After wandering in the Wind Disaster for several hours, Lin Hui quickly collected many World Fragment, large and small, just as Seven Extinctions had said.

However, there's a big problem...

Nine Heavens Gate, amidst countless Wind Disaster and torrents.

A brown fragment, about the size of a small continental plate, is slowly approaching this side.

Beneath the fragment, a faint, extremely small blue figure could be seen, gripping the entire fragment with one hand and struggling to move it to a specific location. The Fusion Faction were generally safe during their own calamity, unaffected by any attacks, even someone like Lin Hui disguised as Fusion Faction. However, the difficulty stemmed not from the attacks, but from the raging torrents of Wind Disaster and rain constantly battering the massive plate, propelling it further into the distance.

Lin Hui now understood just how troublesome it was to keep the Nine Heavens Gate stable amidst the Wind Disaster for so many years.

Fortunately, he had just moved over.

A dark figure suddenly flew out from the Nine Heavens Gate Sect's stronghold.

It was actually Black Elder.

He had been guarding the Heaven-Turning Wheel for a long time, and his cognition seemed to have become somewhat sluggish due to the passage of time. Unexpectedly, it has now started to move.

Black Elder appeared instantly in front of Lin Hui and reached out to help support the bottom of the slab.

laugh!

In the next instant, countless blue arcs of electricity rapidly spread from his hand across the entire plate.

The electric arc grew brighter and brighter, quickly engulfing the entire plate and turning it into a dazzling blue light.

The light lasted for a few breaths before quickly disappearing.

The re-emerging continental plate has been completely transformed into a gigantic floating platform.

The area features mountains, rivers, plains, deserts, lakes, and even many ancient towns similar in style to Nine Heavens Gate.

"Thank you, Black Elder." Lin Hui felt that the Lifeline Segment had been incorporated into the Nine Heavens Gate's operating system, and it was now as stable as a mountain, no longer affected by the Wind Disaster and flood.

He quickly clasped his hands in a fist and bowed to Black Elder.

Black Elder didn't reply, he just glanced blankly at Lin Hui, then turned and disappeared.

"He's a hidden master after all," Lin Hui thought to himself. The fact that Black Elder could instantly construct and modify such a large area showed that his strength was truly extraordinary.

After all, destruction is easy, creation is difficult.

He could easily destroy a planet in an instant; he could simply break through the surface by destroying the entire structure.

But to ask him to rebuild a planet instantly... that would require an enormous amount of work, countless times greater than the former.

After settling into his accommodation, Lin Hui went to find some more large fragments. As usual, they had just been transported over and were already being modified by the Black Elder into eggshells, which were then placed on the floating platform to form a structure with a round sky and a square earth.

After sealing the entrance, Lin Hui controlled the airflow, bringing in a significant amount of atmospheric energy from the human realm to fill the airflow, and then transplanted soil, plants, and so on. By the time everything was finished, a whole day had passed.

Only then did he travel to Red Pattern Star, open the Source Disaster Rift, connect the two sides, and begin the population relocation.

He couldn't be bothered to see how the Red Pattern Star group would react, nor did he have the patience to slowly help them migrate.

After instructing the three Cold Night Matriarch to secretly monitor and guard against the situation, Lin Hui returned to the Heart Source Demon Palace, issued a recall order to all disciples, and then entered seclusion once again.

This seclusion wasn't for anything else, but because of this trip to Red Pattern Star, Time String had absorbed enough energy to break through to the sixth level of the sword technique.

The Heart Source Demon Palace, shrouded in purple mist, stands silently deep within the Mind Sea.

Lin Hui slowly walked up to the third floor, which was originally where the Heart Source Demon Crown was stored, but has now become his private seclusion place.

"The appearance of You Yan this time has undoubtedly exposed the true, most powerful force behind this place. The fragile peace that the world has maintained for so many years is now clearly because everyone knows that even if the other side is dealt with here, it will be futile. The real power behind them will still send more experts to intervene."

He sat cross-legged, his thoughts wandering.

"Looking at it this way, relying solely on the power of the Nine Heavens Gate is probably not enough to establish a firm foothold here. Now I have two choices."

"One option is to leave directly. Anyway, I've absorbed enough of the Time String for now. I can come back to another place."

The second thing is to accelerate cultivation and improve oneself. As for the teacher, one can only seek alliances with other Source Disaster forces. Actually, Lin Hui didn't want to go to other Source Disaster forces because they weren't as easy to talk to as the teacher.

If a big guy who likes to commit massacres comes along, that would be truly terrible.

After much deliberation, Lin Hui decided to pursue both ends simultaneously.

"The most urgent task is to prepare the summoning conditions for the Long Night Stone Crown, since we have so many cards to use. Then, the Nine Heavens Gate's seal technique should also evolve once again."

Now that I have the new Existence Force others have just provided, I must naturally transform it into real strength as soon as possible.
