Chapter 925: Chapter 920 Rebirth II

"Move forward!"

Instinctively, he moved toward the direction from which a trace of warmth was coming in front of him.

But the pulling force behind him was so strong that he had to use all his strength just to barely move forward a tiny bit.

"Move forward!"

His mind was in chaos, but Lin Xin managed to hold onto a sliver of clarity, frantically pushing his body to take another step forward.

He felt like he was in a pitch-black room without a trace of light, with only a crack in the door in front emitting a ray of light and warmth, which was his hope.

He moved forward with all his might toward that light, as if there was also a powerful force behind him helping him.

Step by step.

From walking at the start, to crawling in the end.

Lin Xin instinctively felt that if he stopped, he would forever lose the chance to leave this darkness.

He couldn’t feel anything, not even memories, leaving only the purest essence of his soul at this moment.

The light and warmth ahead were merely manifestations of his soul’s perception; in reality, no one knew what they were.

No one knew how much time had passed, maybe a year, or two, or a hundred, perhaps even longer...

Finally, Lin Xin was just one step away from completely stepping into that bright light.

He felt many things, many of his past possessions, being stripped away from him.

But at this moment, he couldn’t care about them; he knew that if he lost this opportunity, he would truly and completely disappear from this universe, whether it was the dark universe or the grand universe.

"Move forward!"

Lin Xin was too exhausted; he had used all his strength resisting the massive pulling force behind him.

With the final step, he felt the warmth from the light very close, but the pulling force from behind desperately held him back, not allowing him to take another step forward.

"The final step....."

With all his remaining strength, he lunged forward, reaching one hand forcefully into the light.

In a daze, he seemed to see himself turning into a light, merging into the warmth and gentleness.

He saw himself turning into a shadow, being flung from the edge of an enormous black hole in the universe.

The edge of the black hole spun with rings of colorful light bands, and above them were countless twisted bubble-like shadows.

Innumerable bubbles continuously burst, then countless more regenerated.

He shot out from one of the exploding bubbles, soaring into the boundless wilderness of the starlit sky.

*****************

Year 1136 of the 14th Era of the Cosmic Calendar.

Unknown galaxy, unknown planet.

In a continent area, Yongxing City, Yang Family territory.

In a luxuriously decorated study with a jade-white primary color scheme.

A young man in a white suit, with handsome features, absentmindedly put down the book in his hand.

Looking at the servant standing at the door, he showed a hint of nervousness on his face.

"How is Xiuqun?"

The servant beamed with joy.

"Congratulations, Chairman, both Madam and the young master are safe and sound."

"Safe...," the man sighed with relief. "It’s good that they are safe... it’s a pity I can’t be with Xiuqun and our child..."

"Chairman... Madam asked me to convey a message: she is fine," the servant, understanding the situation, replied.

Yang Qing, the second in line for succession in the Yang Family, displayed a hint of guilt on his face at this moment.

"It’s my fault for letting her down," he sighed softly.

But the Yang Family was at a critical point of power struggle, and he couldn’t leave, nor dared to leave.

If he leaves and fails in the power struggle, it wouldn’t just be a matter of losing power; it would be uncertain whether the lives of himself, his wife, and their child could even be guaranteed.

The power struggle had reached a boiling point, with everyone seeing red.

"Go back and tell Madam that I will make it up to her and our child. I will succeed!"

He said the last three words with unwavering determination.

"Yes!" The servant nodded emphatically, being one of Yang Qing’s trusted confidants and knowing many secrets, naturally understood the weight of Yang Qing’s words.

Watching the servant leave the study, the indecision in Yang Qing’s eyes was swept away, replaced by absolute coldness and murderous intent.

"Brother, oh brother... I have no choice either..."

***************

"The Chairman replied, he’ll make it up to you and the child, he will succeed!"

In the dark, a voice echoed in Lin Xin’s ear.

"Is that so... I don’t need any compensation, I just want him to come back safely," a firm yet weak female voice responded.

"Don’t worry, Madam, the Chairman will certainly be fine," the earlier voice reassured once more.

Then came a silence.

"Where am I?"

Lin Xin tried hard to open his eyes, but his eyelids seemed to be blocked by something, making it impossible to open them.

He looked at the attribute panel at the bottom of his vision.

A series of attributes were still there, only the entire attribute panel had turned gray.

Moreover, at the very bottom, there was a new attribute panel.

Lin Xin carefully looked at this new attribute panel.

’Yang Shen (Lin Xin, Lin Sherie, Pending Transformation)

Damage: 0.1. Defense: 0.1. Evasion: 0.2. Physique: 0.1.’

The skill panel below the attributes was a large blank space, with only a symbol displayed in the middle.

A bizarre blood-red symbol that kept spinning.

Lin Xin focused on the symbol and immediately understood his current situation.

"The Black Universe is merely a giant black hole in the Great Universe, a distorted space bubble generated at the edge.

It is a cosmic illusion created by the light passing through this bubble.

Illusion..... a void shadow of the Great Universe, yet it genuinely distorted a small section of space-time laws to create the existence known as the Black Universe."

Lin Xin combined the vast amount of information that had flooded into his mind earlier, along with the scene he saw as he left.

It was then that he grasped the entire truth.

"So in essence, the Black Universe is just a shadow projected by the Great Universe, altering the laws in a very small area and forming a world with matter and energy.

In simple terms, it’s equivalent to a Cave Heaven small world in the Great Universe."

"Interesting. So, if everything in the Black Universe is a projection of the Great Universe, then the Great Universe should also contain everything in the Black Universe.

Possibly even more comprehensive and perfect."

He suddenly thought of the other layers of the Heavenly Realm, whose true nature had never been revealed, as well as the remaining Abyss.

"Until the very end, when we, the most powerful beings in the Black Universe, were fighting, we only reached the fifteenth layer of the Heavenly Realm.

The Abyss was also far from reaching the bottom layer.

Now it seems those layers of the Heavenly Realm and the Abyss might merely be void shadows, which don’t actually exist in the Black Universe, but only truly exist in the Great Universe."

Lin Xin pondered.

Thump... Thump.... Thump....

Coming back to himself, he suddenly heard a series of rhythmic thumping sounds.

"Heartbeat sounds, and breathing, endocrine hormones, subtle substances, elements...."

Once Lin Xin slightly recovered, he felt that he was in a safe maternal environment.

He looked again at the symbol in the attribute panel, continuing to read the information recorded within. These were the documented insights gathered by his attribute ability instincts, and the information contained in them was extremely important.

".....Original attributes are incomplete due to environmental rules, remaining in a pending transformation stage. Only after complete transformation can they become part of the Great Universe."

Lin Xin quickly found the information he needed most.

"Transformation.... So now this Yang Shen is my new name for this reincarnation?" It wasn’t his first reincarnation, so he naturally didn’t feel unfamiliar.

"Since all the strength remains, let’s proceed step by step and observe the environment first.

Yet even for the last hurdle, which was so difficult for me to overcome, Fangyu probably....."

Lin Xin recalled the scene of himself breaking free from the constraints; even someone of his terrifyingly dense level barely made it through, let alone Fangyu, who hadn’t yet restored his Future Buddha level.

He understood in his heart that Fangyu was likely in grave danger too.

Soon, Lin Xin felt a wave of drowsiness coming over him.

"After birth, I will understand the environment and begin transforming power." The priority now was to comprehend the rules and taboos of the Great Universe.

Is the environment loose or tight? Starting to transform power rashly, without concealment, once discovered, could lead to big trouble.

He pondered, knowing that although his Soul Power suffered heavy damage, he could still manage the basic ability to conceal his aura, even without converted attributes.

With a plan settled in his heart, he quickly drifted into deep sleep, retracting the vast majority of his soul and allowing a tiny portion to split off, erasing the memory from that part, so it could act as the owner of this new body.

After all, no matter how well he disguised himself, an ancient soul that had lived for so many years could never truly revert to a pure-hearted innocence.

Therefore, Lin Xin chose to let a fraction of his Soul Power split off, erase all traces on it, and turn it into pure Soul Force, letting it grow step by step from scratch, providing information to his main soul.

Whenever there’s a crisis, or if he needs it, he can reclaim his Soul Power and completely control this body.

Under Lin Xin’s covert protection, soon, Yang Qing and Lu Xiuqun’s son, Yang Shen, was born safely.

Like most wealthy second generations, Yang Shen quickly lived a life of luxury upon birth.

His father Yang Qing smoothly took control of all Yang Family’s Dixing Group assets and power, ruthlessly dealing with his stepbrother, Yang Chuguang.

He indeed fulfilled his promise to bring Lu Xiuqun and Lin Xin over, allowing the family to live a peaceful and happy life.

More than two years later, Lu Xiuqun’s second child was born, also a boy, named Yang Chen.

Another two years passed, and the third child, a girl, was born, named Yang Songyu.

Afterward, Lu Xiuqun underwent a sterilization surgery and did not continue to bear children.

Yang Shen, like the other children, grew up in a normal school from a young age.

He didn’t attend any aristocratic schools nor receive any special education.

Simply and ordinarily, like a child from a regular family, he attended school normally.
