Age of Evolution

The Spiritual Consciousness Sea is the Divine Infant’s home. Having been born, it automatically re-enters the Bronze Level.

However, this newly born Bronze Level Spiritual Power was stronger than Lin Zhen’s previous Cui Mang Level Spiritual Power.

The Divine Infant appeared to be a chubby white infant. Feeling that Lin Zhen was watching it, it immediately opened its small mouth and let out a giggle.

It waved a seven-colored long spear in its hand, greeting Lin Zhen.

Lin Zhen’s mood was full of excitement, as the Divine Infant was nurtured through his countless hardships. At times, Lin Zhen even had thoughts of giving up. However, seeing it today made him feel that it was all worth it.

“Ah! Ah!”

Lin Zhen’s Spiritual Power kept teasing the Divine Infant, who kept laughing. The long spear in its hand swayed back and forth, with various colors of energy circulating on it. The spear was not a physical entity, but it had an incredibly powerful lethal force against other Divine Infants.

After a good while, the Divine Infant seemed a bit tired and began to rest.

As the Divine Infant fell asleep, Lin Zhen’s Spiritual Power slowly increased.

Only then did Lin Zhen feel satisfied and stopped. He quickly got up to check on his body’s condition. In two more months, Lin Zhen could take Juyuan Powder again and advance to Tier Nine Star System.

Moreover, the expansion of his Dark Star Space would further improve. Within an estimated three years, Lin Zhen could light up the third Constant Star – the Five Ghosts Star.

In conclusion, his future was bright.

After tidying up a bit, Lin Zhen walked out of the room.

As soon as he came out, he saw Lin Feng lying on the bed outside, snoring loudly.

“Hey hey~! Get up, your dad is here to catch you and take you home.”

“Huh~! Where?”

Lin Feng jumped out of bed. He was perfectly fine waiting outside but didn’t want to go home. No matter how soundly he slept, he would immediately get up and be ready to run away.

“Ah, Boss, you’ve come out of seclusion.”

“Yeah, haven’t seen you for a long time, right?”

Lin Zhen glanced at Lin Feng, who was startled for a moment. He then covered his eyes with his hand and said, “Boss, your eyes are so terrifying. I feel like my eyes are going to be pierced by your gaze.”

“My spiritual power has made some breakthroughs, and I might not have controlled it very well yet.”

“Congratulations, Boss. What are we going to do now? Are we leaving Xianle County?”

“Why are we leaving Xianle County?”

“Business at the shop has stopped, that Gu Yunting is determined to fight us to the end. Five shops are playing with us, he’s so rich and doesn’t care, but we can’t afford to continue like this, I’ve spent all my salary.”

“You can spend several million each month? That’s impressive.”

“Alchemy needs money, Boss. I don’t have your high success rate, so I can’t make any money. Besides, what can a few million do? If you don’t come out soon, I’ll have to go out and beg.”

“Alright, alright. Let’s go out for a stroll, have some good food. I haven’t had a proper meal in ten months; I’m almost starving to death.”

“Alright, alright. I’ve been looking at a few restaurants and was just waiting for you to come out so I could celebrate with you.”

“Hehe, then you’ll pay the bill.”

“Come on, I’m just a follower. What follower pays the bill on behalf of their master?”

The two of them walked out of the Alchemist’s Guild while bickering.

Lin Zhen initially wanted to visit Thomas, but he was told that Thomas had gone out. So he took Lin Feng with him to the streets.

Lin Feng’s chosen place wasn’t bad at all. Called the Taste Hall, it had exquisite dishes with delicious flavors and was considered an upscale restaurant in Xianle County.

A single consumption at this place would cost hundreds of thousands, and those who could come here were mostly high-ranking martial artists. Star Domain Stage practitioners were common, and World King Powerhouses would often visit as well.

In the Original World, people below the Black Hole Period were considered ordinary. Only once they passed the Black Hole Period were they considered martial artists.

The Taste Hall was exclusive for martial artists and did not cater to ordinary people. All the visitors who came here to dine and drink were martial artists.

The two of them ordered a table full of dishes, eating and drinking while listening to the loud discussions around them.

“Hey, a relative from my hometown came over and insisted on telling me how strong a World King in their hometown was. I laughed at him back then. What does that bumpkin know about real powerhouses? Does he know what a true World King expert is?”

“Then what do you think a true World King powerhouse is like?”

“There are countless World Kings in the Original World, along with numerous geniuses. But I believe that true powerhouse World Kings should be divided by race. Only those races with extraordinary talents can give birth to true powerhouse World Kings.”

At this point, other people joined the debate: “I think humans are very strong, with the highest numbers and the most strong practitioners.”

“No, no, no. Humans have too large a base. Also, at the World King level, I believe that Underworld Demons are the strongest. They have superior physical strength and natural spiritual power, along with a fiendish guardian spirit, making them much stronger than humans.”

“Well, I’d say the Angel Clan is powerful, especially the Archangels, who are like freaks among the World Kings.”

“Do you think Angels can defeat the Titan Clan? You must be kidding me.”

“The Titan Clan might not necessarily be the strongest either. What about the Bright God Clan, which the Angel Clan serves? They can suppress the Titans, right?”

“And what about the Three-eyed Divine Clan? They’ve been fighting with the Bright God Clan for countless years, and their powerful members are simply terrifying.”

A group of Domain King strong ones debated endlessly, but finally, a Domain King spoke up: “In my opinion, every race has its strong ones. Even in weaker races, there are individuals with exceptional strength. Just look at those wanted World Kings. Each of them has killed countless people and has extraordinary strength. Surely we can’t generalize.”

This statement made some sense and temporarily halted the debate among the Domain Kings.

Lin Feng was eating with chopsticks when he noticed Lin Zhen’s stunned expression and looked up at him.

Lin Zhen didn’t say anything, but the words of that Domain King sparked some inspiration in him.

When it came to forging avatars, it’s crucial to find a World King of a certain fate. Lin Zhen had been clueless about this, but the Domain King’s words about wanted World Kings provided him some insights.

Halfway through the meal, Lin Zhen stopped and asked Lin Feng, “Do you have high permissions in the Dimensional Universe?”

“Not bad, but not as high as yours now, boss. You’re a Fifth Grade Alchemist and a guild elder now, which is a pretty high status, almost catching up to Wood King of the Wood King Mansion.”

Lin Zhen was still not used to his new identity and hadn’t realized the high status of a Fifth Grade Alchemist.

“Alright, I should be able to look up a lot of information on my own now.”

Lin Zhen put down his chopsticks and started searching in the Dimensional Universe.

He was looking up bounty notices.

Instead of searching the world for powerful World Kings, it made more sense to look at these notices. Wanted World Kings were undoubtedly strong.

“Wanted bounty for Jinwen Clan’s World King Bai Fengqi, reward: 10 billion!”

“Wanted bounty for White Tiger Clan’s World King Huang Ba, reward: 2.5 billion!”

“Wanted bounty for Demon Clan’s World King Lasuk, reward: 4 billion!”

Each bounty notice described the situation of these World Kings, and they were all involved in earth-shattering events.

For example, Bai Fengqi of the Jinwen Clan once broke into a gathering of World Kings, killing 25 of them.

For example, World King Lasuk of the Demon Clan disguised himself as an auctioneer in the Auction House of the World and swept away billions’ worth of auction items, leaving behind a pile of fakes that caused the Auction House to lose face.

In short, these people had committed robbery, theft, and almost every other kind of crime.

Longevity Realm Martial Artists rarely interfered in World King-level battles, so these World Kings could be considered powerful. Capturing them wasn’t easy.

Every time Lin Zhen saw a World King, he would immediately look up their information to see if they met his requirements.

Since these World Kings were mostly active around Xianle County, they were closely watched.

However, the more Lin Zhen investigated, the more disappointed he became.

Although these World Kings were considered strong, they were still far from his requirements for avatars. Since forging avatars is a difficult process, he didn’t want to leave any regrets that might lead to replacements later on.

Meanwhile, Lin Feng was eating voraciously and became curious about Lin Zhen’s stillness while searching for information.

“Boss, what are you looking for?”

Lin Zhen momentarily paused his search and replied, “I want to see who can be considered the strongest World King near Xianle County.”

“That’s easy. I know who it is—Hua Hua Taisui!” Lin Feng slapped his chest confidently.

“Who’s Hua Hua Taisui? How come I didn’t find anything about this person?”

“Boss, you won’t find this person in the Dimensional Universe. That’s because he’s a World King who’s wanted by Longevity Experts. The incident is only circulating within the Longevity Realm and hasn’t been made public. I only know this from what my dad told me.”

“A World King wanted by Longevity Experts? Is this person still alive?”

“Of course! Otherwise, how could he be called the strongest World King? There’s quite a story behind this person.”

Lin Feng coughed a bit, temporarily stopped eating, and told Lin Zhen, “Our Nan Liang Empire, despite being a large country, isn’t a first-class one. We rely on the Da Liang Empire, and since we’re located south of Da Liang, we’re called Nan Liang.”

“The Emperor of the Da Liang Empire is in the Longevity Realm, as is the Crown Prince, and even the yet-to-be-wed Crown Princess.”

“Speaking of the Crown Princess, she has quite a background. Her family and sect are all top-notch, and she’s even more beautiful than a flower. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have been chosen as the Crown Princess so early. But before she could be married off, a scandalous incident occurred!”

Lin Feng chuckled, “A daring World King sneaked into the Imperial Palace, secretly filmed the Crown Princess taking a bath, and broadcasted it live in the Dimensional Universe. Although nothing crucial was exposed, the incident caused an uproar, enraging the royal family of the Da Liang Empire. Many Longevity Realm Martial Artists joined forces to hunt this World King down, but he still managed to escape. Impressive, isn’t it?”

“Many Longevity Realm Martial Artists failed to capture a World King?”

“Yes! That’s why this World King is hailed as the strongest World King and known as Hua Hua Taisui. I also know that he’s currently in the territory of Xianle County!”
