Apocalypse: The Primordial Pearl Recognizes Its Master, Starting with Infinite Space

A month later, the Little Fish arrived at a remote planet called Gray Gravel.

According to the intelligence from Barton, there are only about two hundred people at this stronghold, and the strongest among them is only at the peak of the eighth rank.

The native inhabitants of the planet are called the Gray Gravel People, a humanoid race that is less than 1.5 meters tall and has grayish-white skin.

For generations, they have made a living by mining gray crystal ore and farming. The gray crystal ore is all plundered by the gods, and the crops they grow are mainly a type of spice designated by the gods. Only a small amount of land is used to produce the food they depend on for survival.

The Little Fish hovers in orbit around the Gray Gravel Star.

Lin Chen did not rush to land. He first scanned the area with his mental energy and, after confirming that there was no danger, raised his hand to seal off the entire star field with the laws of space.

The space was folded and sealed off, preventing signals from spreading out and hindering reinforcements from entering.

Only after doing all this did he release Li Ya and the others from Creation Island.

"Xiaoya, the space has been sealed off. You all need to end the battle as soon as possible," Lin Chen instructed.

"Understood." Li Ya flexed her wrists, her eyes flashing with a light she had suppressed for a long time.

Behind him, members of the combat unit, including Su Yun, Liu Feifei, Qin Lu, and Qin Yi, filed out, each wearing rune armor obtained from the prophet, their auras calm and refined.

Only two months have passed in the outside world, but they have been cultivating on Creation Island for many years, and now they have finally waited for a decent opportunity to make a move.

"Let's go." With Li Ya's command, the group transformed into streaks of light and swooped down toward Gray Pebble Star.

Lin Chen hovered in the void, standing with his hands behind his back. His spiritual power followed their auras, ready to step in and cover for them at any time, but he probably wouldn't need to.

The alarm at the Gray Gravel Star outpost had already sounded before Li Ya landed.

The outer detection runes detected rapidly approaching energy fluctuations, and a piercing shriek tore through the thin atmosphere of the gray gravel planet.

Protoss soldiers poured out from all directions, hastily drawing their swords and charging towards the invaders.

Inside the main command room of the outpost, the communications officer immediately followed procedure and attempted to report the encounter to the Protoss garrison in the Gallia system, but the communication rune lit up briefly and then went out completely.

He turned around in a panic and said to Commander Bray behind him, "Lord Bray, something terrible has happened! The message isn't getting out!"

Bray frowned: "What's going on? Don't you usually maintain the communication runes?"

"No, sir, I just sent General Nota the recent accounts yesterday, and the runes are all normal!"

"Then why can't it get out?"

The communications soldier's voice was trembling with tears: "We...we might be under blockade."

Bray, who had initially been unconcerned, suddenly changed his expression: "Sealing off a star system? Who could possibly have that kind of ability!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the roaring sound outside the stronghold could be clearly heard.

Bray rushed to the window and saw a group of figures clad in runic armor already charging into the stronghold. Their movements were swift and their coordination was impeccable, while his own men were falling in droves.

"All of them are... women?" Bray's eyes widened. These attackers were all women, and the leaders were already at the ninth level.

His garrison was like paper dolls in front of them.

Li Ya had already appeared in front of the stronghold's gate. The Law of Light erupted, and the rune shield shattered instantly, with fragments flying everywhere.

Without even looking, she rushed straight into the stronghold.

Liu Feifei followed closely behind, using her mental powers to instantly control the three Divine Race soldiers facing her, causing them to rush towards their companions behind her.

Su Yun stood on the outer edge, a burst of fireball already gathered in her hand, which she hurled at the three Protoss soldiers on the other side.

Qin Lu's charm spell had a similar effect to Liu Feifei's, disrupting the formation of the divine soldiers.

The battle lasted less than three minutes. Of the more than two hundred Protoss soldiers inside the stronghold, none survived.

Li Ya stood on the roof of the stronghold and waved to Lin Chen in the void.

Lin Chen landed on air, his mental energy sweeping across the entire stronghold to confirm that no survivors had been missed. He then entered the warehouse and stored all the supplies, including crystal cores, weapons, ores, and pills, into his spatial storage.

After doing all this, he turned and looked at the back of the stronghold.

There, clusters of low stone houses are scattered across the gray-brown wasteland, where thousands of gray gravel people huddle together, their gray faces filled with terror.

Although the aftershocks of the battle were mostly isolated by the laws of space, the tremors and rumbles from the ground still reached the area.

Lin Chen flew into the air above the settlement and said in a deep voice, "The gods have been eliminated. You are free. If you wish, I can take you to a place without the gods, a safe and prosperous place where you can farm freely and live for yourselves."

The settlement remained silent for a long time.

An elderly gray-gray man, leaning on a cane, emerged unsteadily. He looked up at the figure in the void, a light shining in his cloudy gray eyes, and asked in broken Protoss, "Really... there are no gods?"

Lin Chen nodded: "No."

The old gray gravel man turned around, looked at the terrified, expectant, and bewildered faces behind him, remained silent for a moment, and then slowly and forcefully nodded.

Lin Chen didn't delay any longer. He used his mental energy to take all the Gray Gravel People, along with their stone houses and simple forges, into his Creation Space.

Zi Ling has already carved out an area suitable for the Gray Gravel People to live in at the edge of the space.

The settlement of the Gray Gravel People was empty, leaving only a barren wasteland and remnants of their lives.

Lin Chen then began to head towards other areas of the planet, capturing any Gray People he encountered and killing any Protoss he encountered.

Li Ya and the others also dispersed, following behind to help collect any usable resources on the planet, leaving nothing for the gods.

In just one day, the entire planet Gray Gravel was completely empty.

Finally, Lin Chen turned around and waved to the crowd: "Let's go."

They were lifted into the air and returned to the Little Fish. The hatch closed, the spaceship changed direction, and disappeared beyond the orbit of the Gray Planet.

Li Ya sat down in the control room, still somewhat unsatisfied: "It's only been three minutes, we haven't even warmed up yet."

Liu Feifei chimed in, "Exactly, two hundred people wouldn't even be enough to fill a gap between our teeth."

Lin Chen glanced at them, a slight smile playing on his lips: "Don't worry, there are plenty of big battles to come. The Gallia system has several large Protoss strongholds; that'll be enough for you to fight."

Li Ya's eyes lit up: "Really?"

Lin Chen didn't answer. He pulled up a star map and pointed to a point of light in the direction of the Gallia system: "This is Seran Star. The Protoss's largest supply depot in Gallia, with 500,000 troops stationed there, commanded by a peak ninth-tier commander. Is that enough?"

A moment of silence fell over the control room, then Li Ya and Liu Feifei simultaneously smiled: "Enough!"

Lin Chen laughed and said, "We won't touch them now. Let you hone your skills a bit more. We'll leave these for last. Our current task is to wipe out all the Protoss's resource points, which will take a long time."

He had told everyone about his plan to dig deep into the roots. They were not strong enough to face the progenitors of the gods alone and needed his protection, so the process would be quite long.

Li Ya and the others nodded: "Then let's go back to Creation Island first, the cultivation speed is faster there."

Lin Chen nodded, then sent everyone back to Creation Island, and also put away Little Fish No. 1.

He personally headed towards the next resource point of the Protoss. The plan had already begun, so the speed had to be increased.

For the next month, Lin Chen, along with Li Ya and others, frequently appeared at various Protoss resource points in the Galia system, looting everything they found at each location.

At this moment, he had arrived at Thranan, the largest resource point of the Protoss in the Garia system.
