Chapter 963: Chapter 958 Primordial II

"Yes, theoretically the Grand Universe is infinitely large because it is expanding madly at all times.

This expansion is limitless.

And the Primordial is the origin where the Primordials gather and reside. Only by finding the traces of the Primordial, comprehending and entering, can one achieve the Primordial and stand above all material in the Grand Universe."

The strange sculpture answered in a straightforward manner.

"How do you know all this?"

Lin Xin’s expression became slightly formal.

"My former master was a Primordial." The sculpture answered seriously.

"Primordial..." Lin Xin had heard this name before in the Dark Universe.

However, at that time, he had only seen many mythological records in the ruins of the Outer Regions of the Underworld.

"What exactly is the Primordial?"

Unconsciously, he became more serious.

"The Primordials, according to mythological records, are powerful beings capable of manipulating history and are gods who can control time."

The sculpture answered honestly.

"Control time..." Lin Xin shivered inwardly. He, too, could manipulate time for a short period, so he knew how difficult it was.

This was not a realm achieved by simply warping space-time through gravitational mass.

But genuinely controlling time.

"And then? Why did your master leave you here?"

He continued to ask.

"Because he perished." The sculpture answered.

"Perished!? Such a powerful existence as the Primordial can also perish?!" Lin Xin’s heart was shaken.

"The master’s line of fate was interfered with, and he couldn’t change the altered fate, so he perished in that divine battle."

The sculpture answered honestly.

Lin Xin digested the information he obtained harshly.

Primordials, line of fate, Primordial time...

His intuition was indeed correct; this trip to the Imperial Capital was not in vain.

If what this sculpture said is true, then how powerful must the Primordial who caused the death of its master be?

He couldn’t imagine.

"The master’s enemy destroyed the master’s strongest form, then interfered with the universe’s history where that form resided, thereby completely twisting time, greatly diminishing the master’s power, ultimately leading to his demise."

The sculpture continued.

"So, do you think I’m strong?" Lin Xin continued to ask.

"Very strong."

"Stronger than your master?"

"Never compared. But the strength of the Primordial is something that non-Primordials can never match. No matter how strong you are, if you’re not a Primordial, you could never surpass my master."

The sculpture, at this point, also had a faint trace of pride in its tone.

"Is that so?"

Lin Xin chuckled twice.

"The master wouldn’t need to do much; he only needed to go back to when you were most vulnerable and kill you then. No matter how strong you become later, it would be futile."

The sculpture explained.

"Interesting." Lin Xin knew that what he said was correct.

But the premise is that the Primordial truly could return to such a distant past.

This sculpture clearly possessed a lot of secret information, and keeping it would be very useful. He was not in a hurry to kill it.

With a wave of his right hand, a black light flashed, and the sculpture disappeared into the air, enveloped by Lin Xin and swallowed into his body, to be digested later.

He carefully looked around and found the remaining three fragments on the Emperor’s corpse.

He took out the mostly assembled key and brought the fragments closer.

The millennium key instantly and automatically fused the fragments.

Buzz!

The millennium key, after integrating the fragments, immediately released a thin layer of colorful light.

The whole key gradually floated up.

"Finally, someone has come."

A voice emanated from the key.

Soon, a blurry humanoid figure gradually formed clearly behind the key.

At the moment of seeing this humanoid figure, Lin Xin shuddered all over, finally showing emotion.

When he previously heard of the Primordials, he wasn’t as shocked as he was now.

For no other reason than that the form of this humanoid figure was exactly a familiar acquaintance he had seen when he once visited the Dark Universe.

"You are... Huang Yuerong!!?"

Lin Xin’s eyes widened, his face full of shock.

However, the image of Huang Yuerong clearly could neither see Lin Xin nor hear him speak.

"No matter who you are or where you come from, by collecting all the key fragments, you are entitled to know the deepest secret of this universe."

Lin Xin focused intently and quickly contacted the other members of the Dongye team, instructing them to guard the surroundings and not allow any creatures to approach.

Not even a bug should be able to come and influence him.

"I have diligently searched for hundreds of billions of years, finally finding a way to truly transcend in an accident. Though I failed."

Huang Yuerong said indifferently.

"Hundreds of billions of years? How is that possible! At that time, the existence of even the Underworld wasn’t certain." Lin Xin frowned deeply.

"Naturally, I still have a shred of hope. A fragment of my spirit might return in an unknown future.

This time, he will definitely succeed. I am confident."

Huang Yuerong spoke calmly.

"Now, let me tell you the true method to transcend time."

Lin Xin took a deep breath, completely unprepared for obtaining such a gigantic secret that could overturn his entire power system here. The fragment of the spirit, perhaps his fragmented spirit, is Huang Yuerong.

"In exchange, I hope that when you encounter my fragmented spirit in the future, you will lend a hand."

At this point, he paused, seemingly waiting for Lin Xin’s response.

Lin Xin knew this was likely a small choice switch.

He nodded seriously.

"I will."

"Good."

Huang Yuerong opened her mouth, and suddenly, a large mass of obscure, chaotic, and coldly-tactile syllables poured continuously into Lin Xin’s ears.

How can sounds have a tactile feel?

Lin Xin had never had this feeling before, but now he truly understood this experience.

Sound, at certain times, indeed has a tactile quality.

Countless characters, countless mysteries continuously surged into his mind.

Many problems that he had never considered for a long time, under Huang Yuerong’s infusion, were quickly resolved.

He soon understood the difference between this Huang Yuerong and the one he knew.

This person’s original name was Copper Saint.

His full name was Golden Sparrow Copper Saint, a scion from a prominent family in the Greater Universe.

He was born with power infinitely close to that of a Human Immortal. However, Human Immortals in the Greater Universe are different from those in the Black Universe, their mastery of rules is more complete and refined. Thus his starting point was extremely high.

Completing the rules is not an easy task.

Don’t think it’s so easy for Lin Xin. That’s because he has an incredibly strong and terrifying physical body.

His body is sufficient to support him in making any attempts and experiments.

And in the very beginning, during the most critical period, it helped him through the danger phase.

This is an extremely important key.

Without fully understanding the rules, one cannot use any abilities, cultivation practices, or True Essence Spells.

Incomplete rules are like starting a machine missing parts; it simply cannot be started.

Even if you have mastered most of the rules, as long as there’s a detail yet to be comprehended,

At the moment of starting the machine, it might explode or malfunction.

Then the rules backfire.

Being crippled or severely injured is mild; complete soul obliteration is not uncommon.

Many have just ’ascended’ from the Black Universe to the Greater Universe powerhouses.

After all, there are too many in the Black Universe, so at every moment, many powerhouses ascend.

But the ascended, ninety-nine percent have lost their past life memories.

All powerhouses who have never practiced Body Cultivation will lose their memories, fall into ordinary reincarnation.

And a small number of Body Cultivation practitioners, by consuming their physical body as the cost to protect memories, luckily retain memories after reincarnation.

But even they, due to the initial difficult period, may fail to grasp the rules or incorrectly grasp them, leading to total annihilation.

This portion accounts for even more.

Out of a million people, having one barely comprehending the rules is considered decent.

And that one who understands the rules will inevitably, due to researching the Greater Universe’s rules, miss the optimal cultivation time and thus achieve mediocrity. Growing old, they perish and enter reincarnation.

In this way, being truly successful and smooth like Lin Xin, even one or two over countless years is good.

This still requires those born with innate understanding, terrifying geniuses who know everything upon birth, to succeed.

These geniuses must then pass through numerous trials to barely establish a foundation in the Greater Universe.

Unlike Lin Xin at all.

His incredibly strong physical body rapidly recovers, allowing him to easily withstand backlashes even with erroneous rule attempts.

As long as it’s not a large-scale Greater Universe rule backlash, everything else is a mere drizzle to him.

Only after hearing Copper Saint’s explanation did he understand his luck and realized how powerful his attribute abilities were.

"But, this world is balanced, my luck will inevitably lead to difficulties in later breakthroughs."

He vaguely understood this from Copper Saint’s narrative.

After discussing the critical secrets and methods, Copper Saint’s form gradually blurred.

"Hope you remember what you promised."

He left this final sentence and then completely dissipated and vanished.

Leaving Lin Xin with deep eyes looking at the millennium key that had fallen to the ground.

This key had completely turned into an ordinary stone key, with no exerted function left.

"If an ordinary person collected the fragments and heard these things, wouldn’t it be a complete waste?"

Lin Xin sighed softly.

"It wouldn’t. Without reaching a certain Realm level, one simply cannot trigger the key’s essence," spoke the black stone statue beside him.

Even though it was wrapped inside Lin Xin’s body, it still could hear everything happening outside as long as Lin Xin allowed it.

Aside from the segment of Secret Technique that Lin Xin blocked earlier, everything else Lin Xin allowed it to overhear.

To see if it could provide any more information.

"Is he your master?"

"No. My master is the Primordial, he’s just a failure. Ordinarily, failures shouldn’t remain in history, but he managed to leave a trace of his own, which is impressive."

The statue seriously answered.

"So, he’s the best among the failures?"

"You could understand it that way."

The statue answered.

"Do you think, how should I ascend to the Primordial?" Lin Xin, now sure his next Realm was the Primordial.

"You have already obtained this gentleman’s method, haven’t you?" the statue replied, "I don’t know how to do it, but I can describe my master’s existence for you."

Lin Xin began to move outside, no longer staying in this dark space.

"Tell me."

The statue paused, then continued.

"My master, his body exists in any universe, be it this Greater Universe, the Black Universe, or any other universe.

The size has no significance to the master; he might be infinitely large one moment and the next only present in a few universes."
