I have a volume of human scriptures

Dead silence.

As far as the eye could see, there was only endless gray mist, carrying with it the remains of the world and fragments of weapons left over from countless years ago.

Apart from that, there was no other movement or sound.

Yu Chen was stunned.

Although when he went into seclusion, he chose a rather desolate battlefield.

But... at this moment, his thoughts could sweep across countless miles.

Even if he doesn't cover the entire battlefield, he can still explore a considerable area in an instant.

In this kind of exploration, no matter how far the thoughts are radiated, what is observed is no different from what is seen in front of one's eyes.

calm.

Dead silence.

It didn't resemble a fiercely contested battlefield at all; it was more like a desolate wasteland.

There was absolutely no trace of soldiers from either the World Alliance or the Hunters faction.

—It would be better if the legion's headquarters were not discovered, since in peacetime, the massive forces are hidden in dimensional space, shielding themselves from the enemy's perception and detection.

However, there will always be scout squads around a legion to scout, set up defenses, and be on guard.

The current situation is that Yu Chen has not sensed any trace of "life" at all.

Just like this desolate battlefield spanning countless miles, only he remained.

His brow furrowed.

What exactly happened during the tens of thousands of years he was in seclusion?
The next instant, he took out the Source Sea Map.

His Source Sea Map was given to him by the Holy City World, but some of its functions were removed—he could not use the Source Sea Map to judge the military deployment of the World Alliance faction.

Apart from that, the Origin Sea Map in his hand was not much different from a normal Origin Sea Map.

They can communicate with their "companions" who exchange breath through the Source Sea Map.

He quickly contacted the holy angel.

To their astonishment, they discovered that the other party was no longer in the array of the Source Sea Map.

There are only two possibilities in this situation.

Either he was expelled from the World Alliance, or... he is already dead.

An apostle who has evolved more than "eighty times" is, in either case, an absolutely serious change.

Helpless, he had to settle for second best and contacted the "Spirit Crystal" world.

After all, Yu Chen didn't know many worlds within the World Alliance camp, and the Heavenly Fall Legion Commander had an icy demeanor, so he had no choice but to contact the "Spirit Crystal" world, which was slightly easier to talk to.

The last time Yu Chen met the Spirit Crystal World, the other party was a patrol commander, who was on par with Yu Chen, who had not yet broken through his bottleneck.

But now, as Yu Chen contacted the Spirit Crystal World, the latter's mind became focused!
—Through sensing the aura of the Source Sea Diagram, she could detect an incredibly terrifying and powerful aura attempting to communicate with her!
At least... at the level of a legion commander!
The Spirit Crystal World dares not be negligent in the slightest!

In her memory, only her teacher had reached the level of that legion commander!

But after carefully sensing that aura and reading the information transmitted by the other party, the Spirit Crystal World was stunned.

—Yu Chen?
At that moment, she felt the world spinning around her!

Tens of thousands of years have passed, but for the world, it is but a fleeting moment.

But that little guy who was once on par with him is now comparable to a "legion commander"?
The world of spirit crystals seems like a fantasy, yet one cannot help but believe it.

With a sense of trepidation, I read the message Yu Chen sent.

Then, based on her own understanding, she told him about the terrifying changes that had occurred in the chaotic sea of ​​time and space over the past tens of thousands of years.

Yu Chen frowned deeply after reading through all the information transmitted from the spirit crystal world.

No wonder.

No wonder the once fiercely contested battlefield suddenly became deathly silent.

It turns out that the World Alliance faction and the Hunter faction had almost simultaneously ceased hostilities.

The reason for the ceasefire... was the anomaly in the forbidden zone.

The Spirit Crystal World cannot access information from higher levels. All she knows is that sixteen ancient beings rushed to the edge of the forbidden zone at almost the same time and have not returned for a thousand years. From the repeated disturbances of the chaotic sea of ​​time and space, it can be guessed that those sixteen ancient beings... made their move.

Yu Chen had a guess in his mind.

restricted area.

He knew it all too well, after all, he had come from that restricted area.

If we were to mention what "thing" within that forbidden zone would be worth the attention and action of those incredibly powerful ancient beings, it would probably only be the "Heart Demon Yellow Bracelet".

Or rather, the terrifying curse of decay and decay that possessed the inner demon, the Yellow Bracelet!
Yu Chen suddenly recalled the strange transformation he had witnessed in the Primordial World before his seclusion.

Back then, after experiencing that eerie, pitch-black substance and the extreme fear it brought.

Yu Chen also sent a message to the Holy Angels, telling them to be on the lookout.

The fact that all sixteen ancient beings have now set out is likely related to the eerie, dark swamp-like substance.

Although tens of thousands of years ago, Yu Chen had already sensed that the strange, dark substance was not something simple.

But no one expected that its appearance would cause a complete ceasefire between the two factions and the simultaneous deployment of sixteen ancient beings!
"call……"

Yu Chen let out a long breath, his thoughts churning.

Then they headed out of the battlefield.

At this moment, the two factions have completely ceased hostilities. Although the forces of the Hunter faction and the World Alliance faction are still deployed on the battlefield of despair, almost all of their forces are stationed in that dimensional space, hidden in the endless battlefield of despair.

In this situation, the Source Sea Map cannot detect the movement of enemy forces, and Yu Chen cannot find any hunters to devour.

He had no choice but to leave the desperate battlefield.

Although he is no longer as eager to improve his combat power as before, after all, the connection between the Heart Demon Yellow Bracelet and the life of the Three Realms has been severed, and as for the changes in the forbidden zone, even if the sky falls, the ancients of the two major camps will hold it up.

But unlike many other worlds, he had witnessed firsthand that eerie, pitch-black substance—the curse of decay and decay.

Although he didn't understand what it was, that fleeting glimpse left an unforgettable impression on Yu Chen.

Moreover, it attracted the attention of almost all the ancients.

It's not something simple.

The Demonic Yellow Bracelet, transformed by that dark substance, was filled with endless malice towards Yu Chen. If... just if there were such a possibility that even the ancients couldn't resist it, then once the Demonic Yellow Bracelet broke through the seal, the first target it would likely seek out would be Yu Chen!

—After countless entanglements, the two sides have long since reached a point of absolute antagonism, a fight to the death.

So if Yu Chen wants to continue increasing the number of evolutions, he only has two paths left: one is to continue devouring the hunters and use their world origins to evolve quickly; the other is to contact the World Alliance and borrow their specially made spacetime vortex—this spacetime vortex is countless times more powerful and terrifying than the naturally generated spacetime vortexes that can be seen everywhere in the chaotic spacetime sea.

It is a powerful entity within the World Alliance faction, constructed using artifacts of primordial time and primordial space. It can regulate the intensity of spacetime turbulence within it and is also one of the primary methods for the World Alliance faction to cultivate through the World Gate and increase the number of evolutions.

Otherwise, if it were just at the natural rate of evolution, the hunter faction's rate of devouring its own kind would have long since completely outpaced them, and the two factions would never be "evenly matched" as they are now.

but……

Within the World Alliance faction, Yu Chen only knew a few people—first, he excluded the Skyfall Legion Commander, who was a staunch member of the World Alliance faction. Although he didn't necessarily hate Yu Chen, he would never help him make connections and get him to use the World Alliance's spacetime vortex.

As for spirit crystals and sacred cities...

The number of times these two have evolved is far from enough to involve themselves in the upper echelons of the World Alliance. Although they have a teacher who is the legion commander, they absolutely do not have the right to speak on lending out the spacetime vortex.

Originally, the Holy Angels should have had this authority, but something went wrong with that guy, and he's no longer in the World Alliance camp. Even using the Source Sea Map, we can't communicate with him.

Simply put, it's like deleting an account.

Therefore, Yu Chen is currently unable to contact the higher-ups of the World Alliance Justice, and has no leverage to persuade them to lend him the spacetime vortex.

That leaves only the option of continuing the hunt...

Yu Chen's thoughts raced through his mind, and he finally sighed.

—Now all the battlefields in the desperate situation have been completely at a standstill, and if you want to continue large-scale hunting, you can only rampage through the border regions.

The efficiency was predictably low.

Unless...infiltrate the Hunters' camp?
The thought only flashed through Yu Chen's mind for a moment before he immediately dismissed it.

Although he now possesses the strength of a legion commander, the vast majority of the ancients in the Hunter faction are also on the edge of the forbidden zone.

Even so, the remaining apostles of the hunter faction, as well as the "Void Dragon" elder who did not go to the forbidden zone, were enough to make Yu Chen give up the idea.

Especially that "Void Dragon Elder," who is also Yu Chen's old enemy.

—The Demonic World, which he had exceptionally granted the status of "Apostle" to, died at the hands of Yu Chen.

After losing the "pure world" that had not yet evolved and had truly developed consciousness, the ancient being must have deeply hated Yu Chen and wished he could tear him to pieces.

In this situation, venturing into the hunters' camp is practically tantamount to suicide.

Left with no other choice, Yu Chen could only wander in the endless borderlands.

Searching for potential "hunters".

—Although the Hunter faction and the World Alliance faction have now ceased hostilities, that has little to do with Yu Chen.

Since hunters have chosen the path of evolution by devouring their own kind, it is reasonable that they will eventually be hunted and devoured themselves.

Unfortunately, compared to the desperate battlefield between the two factions, the border region seemed empty and desolate. After drifting for several years in the endless turbulent flow of time and space, Yu Chen did not even encounter a single hunter.

It felt as if I had returned to the time of endless wandering I had spent before.

The surrounding spacetime vortexes remained unchanged, offering no further assistance to Yu Chen at this moment.

Several years have passed without a single gain.

Meanwhile, the penalty area also seemed to be in a state of stalemate.

The ancient figures stood frozen in place, motionless.

Yu Chen finally asked the Spirit Crystal World about lending the spacetime vortex.

As expected, the answer she received was that she had asked her teacher, but the teacher also did not have enough authority or the right to bring an outsider into the time vortex.

This completely broke Yu Chen's heart.

Continue wandering.

Several years later, amidst the vast and boundless turbulent flow of time and space, Yu Chen's thoughts finally sensed that "the world" had appeared not far ahead.

He focused his mind and peered forward.

The discovery was not just one world, but... three.

Moreover, they appear to be in a standoff.

Of the three worlds, one is a normal world that appears to have evolved only twenty times, and is the weakest.

The other two worlds, which can be easily identified by the endless black mist surrounding them, should be "Hunters".

Both hunters possessed the aura of having undergone more than twenty evolutions.

Surround that normal world.

However, they did not rush to launch an attack.

—Based on the number of evolutions, any one of them, the hunter, could instantly kill the other.

However, in this situation, a welcome development has emerged.

There were two hunters, but only one prey.

The two hunters would naturally clash.

One of the hunters was enveloped in a gray-black storm; anything that came near that endless evil wind would be instantly shredded.

The other hunter, as solid as cast iron, formed an incomparably strong barrier to the world, its indescribable terrifying power surging across the vast surface of the world.

Both had evolved to a similar number of times, and neither was willing to back down—both wanted to devour the prey that had evolved twenty times.

The atmosphere was tense.

It looked as if a terrifying battle was about to break out at any moment!

But Yu Chen's attention wasn't focused on them; instead, it was on the seemingly docile and harmless normal world that was the prey.

—From him, Yu Chen felt a strange sense of familiarity and unreality.

That feeling always made him feel that something else was hidden beneath the barrier of this normal world.

To give an inappropriate analogy, it's like a wolf in sheep's clothing.

But clearly, neither hunter noticed these clues.

The next moment, their negotiations broke down—neither of them was willing to give up their prey, and they started fighting!
However, just as they began their fierce battle, a terrible accident occurred out of nowhere!

Looking at the normal world that was the prey, the gray-white world barrier suddenly opened up, like an enormous abyss maw, swallowing both hunters whole in one gulp!
The two hunters didn't even have time to react, nor did they have time to scream or roar before they were swallowed whole by their "prey"! (End of Chapter)
