Evaluation: A Crystal Wall Origin Core that has been fully repaired and awakened, now exhibiting its wondrous might.

The most significant change upon the promotion of the Crystal Wall Origin Core lies in its further enhanced essence and completeness. After being loaded into the Divine Realm, the changes are not significant, but with continuous plundering and filling of the Crystal Wall origin, the effects will grow increasingly potent.

There won’t be any further changes before the Crystal Wall origin is filled to the limit, or rather, unless there’s an extremely special opportunity or a supreme treasure integrated into it, there won’t be any major changes.

The promotion process ends here this time; the metamorphosis of the soul origin has made him stronger, so the devouring of the Moon Cloud Realm will now significantly accelerate.

Now he no longer worries about when he will be able to devour the Moon Cloud Realm; he needs to consider controlling the speed of devouring. If it’s too fast, he’ll have to find a suitable plane to relocate his Clan.

Amidst several changes, the area of the Divine Realm has become increasingly vast. It can now accommodate the believers from the Moon Cloud Realm for a short time, but the Divine Realm cannot accommodate humans as Kin for long. He must find a proper plane for relocation.

“Or perhaps, rent one? Or buy one?”

Some major forces or conglomerates offer plane rental and sales services, but the selling prices are very high. Renting is somewhat cheaper, but the rental period typically starts at a hundred years, adding up to a substantial sum.

Either way is not cheap; Lin Xiao’s current funds are limited, and although his girlfriend is wealthy, well…

“Wait, borrow a plane from Yue Xin?”

He remembered that his girlfriend owned a Giant Plane Group, including a giant main plane, five super large planes, twenty-seven large planes, and thousands of small and medium subsidiary planes; she certainly couldn’t develop such a vast territory at the moment:

“Borrow a large plane from her for a temporary fix?”

“No, my brother-in-law will beat me up! I can’t face anyone if word gets out.”

Nobody says anything about taking some minor advantages, like borrowing some money; at most, they’ll tease him about mooching off a woman.

But it’s another matter to take a large plane from her; that’s not just teasing—that’s genuinely mooching off her, and he could be despised for it.

Although being able to mooch like this could also be seen as a skill, any man with a bit of pride can’t take advantage of such things, especially when he’s not the kind of waste who can only get by with a woman’s help.

Of course, he’s not without alternatives; if he really can’t find a suitable plane, he can send all his followers and people back to their homeland. Not long ago, when Xie Yufei helped him exchange some items, she mentioned in passing that the Zhang Family who previously ambushed them had been severely suppressed and he could resolve the Zhang Family issue once and for all if he ever had the time to go back.

Lin Xiao didn’t have the time to deal with it personally, but Sister Xie Yufei, who almost lost her life to exile in Sin Chasm due to the ambush, wouldn’t let them off.

To her, such matters don’t require evidence; as a colonel with real power and the legitimate daughter of the commander-in-chief of the Fifth War Zone, and with the Zhang Family’s Crystal Wall system being within their jurisdiction, fabricating charges against them would be effortless. Her casual remark would be enough for the local garrison to cooperate in suppressing the Zhang Family, not to mention that the Zhangs also had the Lin Family as rivals.

The Zhang Family has already lost several small planes in their home territory, and their strength has been significantly weakened.

In fact, if Xie Yufei hadn’t held back her order, the Zhang Family would have already been suppressed into non-existence.

As the saying goes, those who mingle in the world will eventually have to pay their dues. By attempting to ambush them, they must bear the consequences of failure.

Lin Xiao hadn’t thought much of this before, but now, if he really can’t find a suitable plane, perhaps he could end the Zhang Family’s agony early and temporarily use their territory.

“Hmm, that should do it!”

He sent a message to Xie Yufei, briefly mentioning the matter.

He had no interest in dealing with it personally. A wise man does not stand under a wall in peril, and faced with the risk of clan extermination, the Zhang Family would definitely be desperate enough to take risks. He didn’t want to end up capsizing in the gutter and be trapped.

“Right, I need to remind my parents too!”

Lin Xiao immediately sent a warning to his parents and the clan, suggesting that they simply return to the Main World first.

Star Soul Crystal Wall System, Ornell Planet.

“Roar!”

The thunderous, angry roar sounded feeble as a horrifying giant, tens of thousands of kilometers tall and ablaze with sinister flames, was firmly suppressing a monstrous creature beneath him. The creature was covered in tentacles. One foot stepped on the target, one hand pressed against the monster’s body, and the other hand plunged into the monster, continuously absorbing dark vapors into the fiery giant hand.

On another side of the planet, a vast black hole had already consumed more than a third of the entire planet.

The rampant energy and the scorching lava were all swallowed up by the black hole, disappearing without a trace.

The battle between three super terrifying beings had been going on for years. The Lifespan Devourer, an Ancient god named Zagulon, had managed to hold on for years but ultimately couldn’t withstand the might of the Dark Titan Du Longer and was now firmly repressed, with his power being incessantly devoured.

In fact, it was not long ago that the might of the black hole, transformed by Lin Xiao, had suddenly increased several-fold. Not only had its gravitational pull soared, but it also began to directly devour the power of the Dark Titan Du Longer, catching him off guard. A few years ago, the Ancient god had already been forcibly devoured by the Dark Titan.

But that anomaly did not change its fate – it merely prolonged its agony for a few years.

Now that a great portion of the Ancient god’s power had been devoured, it was completely powerless to resist. Its demise was just a matter of time.

But the Dark Titan was not the least bit pleased about defeating his great enemy. On the contrary, he repeatedly looked towards the other side of the planet with fury and vigilance, the side that the black hole, which possessed the same source power as himself, had already consumed.

If it were not for the continual resistance of the Ancient god, he would have long abandoned the Ancient god and first destroyed the black hole that was devouring his own power and authority.

Within the black hole, Lin Xiao’s will could clearly sense the wrath of the Dark Titan Du Longer.

In fact, several years ago, he had already awakened. At that time, his Soul origin had suddenly undergone some kind of metamorphosis and he regained consciousness, only to discover to his surprise that he had birthed powers only possessed by Titan Ancient gods, and he had even begun to divide Du Longer’s authority, causing his power to rocket like the newly born Dark Titan Du Longer had years ago.

At first, he was bewildered until after communicating with his True Body, he came to know the cause.

It was simple, a transformation at the very essence of life.

His True Body’s soul had completely merged with the Crystal Wall Origin Core. If we liken the shell of the Crystal Wall Origin Core to a micro Crystal Wall Universe, his soul now was the will of the universe’s origin, which allowed his Soul essence to cross a certain threshold and to possess a certain trait. This trait, reflected back onto his Incarnation, caused it to undergo a peculiar change, allowing him the ability to divide authority with the Dark Titan Du Longer.

This was something that could change his otherwise certain fate of death.

Although previously his Incarnation, as a black hole, had been continuously devouring the power of the Ornell Planet, his strength was indeed growing. But compared to the Dark Titan, who was granted power by the Crystal Wall Universe, his rate of growth was too slow. Over these years, he could not keep up, and as Du Longer was about to finish devouring the Ancient god, he would have turned to kill him.

But, once he suddenly had the ability to divide Du Longer’s authority, the situation took a huge turn.

Here, Lin Xiao felt he needed to expressly thank the Lifespan Devourer Zagulon. Without the Ancient god’s desperate resistance, he wouldn’t have been able to hold on until now.

He believed Zagulon certainly didn’t think that way, but at that moment, as long as it had a sliver of will to live, it had to desperately resist the Dark Titan Du Longer.

Even if it knew that no matter who won, its death was inevitable, it had to fight with all its might for that slight possibility.

So, Lin Xiao finally got through the most difficult times. Once he had divided enough authority, he had the same power as the Dark Titan Du Longer, and also…

Inside the terrifyingly attractive black hole, an immense figure so vast that it seemed endless rose and fell slowly. Lin Xiao carefully sensed his own Titan body, which now rivaled that of the Dark Titan Du Longer, and he was getting impatient for its debut.

Indeed, after acquiring authority and absorbing enough power, he also possessed a Titan Body.

Or to put it another way, he was now a Dark Titan, same as Du Longer, and could also be called Dark Titan Du Longer, but he preferred to be called Dark Titan who achieved mastery overnight…

Although he was a bit impatient, Lin Xiao knew that the longer he dragged things out, the more advantageous it would be for him. He just needed to patiently wait a little longer.

Two months later, a rich stream of malevolence spewed from the mouth of the Lifespan Devourer Zagulon into the void; this Ancient god that led Du Longer to corruption and downfall ultimately died at the hands of the Dark Titan Du Longer.

The colossal body fell upon the planet like a range of mountains, its last breath transforming into a foggy life form of Rank 93, but it was immediately seized by the Dark Titan, consumed by the sinister flames into ashes.

The massive Dark Titan, having killed the mastermind behind his own fall, didn’t even have the time to devour the remains of the Ancient god before he turned his gaze to the black hole on the other side of the planet and strode over.
