Chapter 143: Leaving the Galaxy (I)

Having broken through Leite’s blockade, Earth Civilization began to enter a period of high-speed development.

The current interstellar environment was also relatively stable. Leite unwillingly became a vassal civilization of Earth Civilization. They were reluctant to bow their heads to Earth, this emerging race.

The feelings of the Layite People towards the Earthlings were very complex. On one hand, their media promoted resisting Earth’s soft invasion, but given the current interstellar situation, they had to rely on the Earthlings’ military power to contend against the covetous Renos People.

This civilization had its fangs and claws removed, becoming a tool in the hands of the Earthlings, a vanguard against the Renos People.

This situation would not change for at least the next 100 years, until Earth gained enough overwhelming strategic advantage over Renos.

On the other side of the Solar System, the people of Morentz Star, 100 Light Years away from Earth Civilization, truly began to view Earth as a heavyweight opponent. Fortunately, there was currently no conflict between the two, and their relationship was quite good.

Although this good relationship, built on interests, was not reliable for civilizations, what Earth needed was just time to develop. Having this period as a buffer was enough.

At this moment, it was time for Lin Lei to leave Earth.

During these 130-plus years, Lin Lei successively comprehended the Energy Dimensions of Destruction, Order, Creation, and Chaos. With each comprehension, his Will was significantly strengthened, and the Will Fluctuation brought about by the comprehension also became increasingly massive.

The last time, the comprehension of the Chaos Dimension, its powerful tide of Will had already reached the limit of what Earth could shelter.

In other words, when Lin Lei comprehended the next Dimension, the resulting Will frenzy would recklessly spread in the Galaxy and be detected by the Watcher Civilization in an instant.

The current Galaxy was not his paradise. Intelligent races were born competitors of Pan-dimensional Creatures. Before becoming a true Pan-dimensional Creature, he could no longer stay in this spiral Galaxy.

Since he had decided to leave, all Split Wills had to be recovered, and all aftermath work had to be done well.

The recovery of the Split Will in the Digital Life field was fine; his identity was not a secret among this absolutely rational group of lives. However, the Will in Lu Yuan’s body had to find a proper solution.

The best result, of course, would be to arrange an accident, such as a spaceship malfunction, or accidentally falling and breaking one’s neck, or similar unsurvivable injuries.

After arranging all of Lu Yuan’s affairs, Lin Lei quietly returned to the Lu family’s main courtyard and began to shut down the various functions of this body one by one in his room.

Lin Lei ultimately did not choose an undignified accidental death but passed away peacefully in this body’s home.

Early the next morning, his life assistant discovered that Lu Yuan, the highest person in charge of the Earth Security Department, the pillar of the Lu family, and the actual leader of the Earth Counterattack War, had just quietly passed away.

Lu Yuan’s departure did not feel particularly special to the citizens of Earth; it was just the passing of a great figure. Over the past century, humanity had experienced much.

But among the high-level officials of the Earth Government, it caused quite a stir!

This mysterious man of the Lu family passed away silently, just as he had risen silently years ago. It was puzzling and impenetrable.

Lu Yuan’s death brought panic and unease to Earth’s high-level officials, but the surrounding civilizations, whether Renos, Leite, or even the people of Morentz Star, secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

The methods of this terrifying man were deeply feared by all civilizations that paid attention to the war between Earth and the Ait.

But all this was no longer Lin Lei’s business; regarding Earth, he had completed his mission.

Under the shelter of the Earth Will, his four Split Wills successfully returned to the body of the Main Will and completely merged into one.

His body was buried deep underground, over a thousand meters deep. The forest from a hundred years ago still showed no change.

This land outside the City of Hope had not been occupied by the constantly expanding city; it was as if protected by some power, perfectly merging into the City of Hope, becoming a forest within the city.

The soil around Lin Lei’s body began to slowly push him toward the surface. The distance of over a thousand meters took only ten minutes.

After reaching the surface, even the mud sticking to Lin Lei became as if it were alive, naturally sliding off his body without leaving a trace.

This time, the Earth Will did not manifest but attached itself to a large tree beside Lin Lei.

Lin Lei’s departure this time was a complete separation from Earth. Perhaps he would return in the future, but that would certainly be a long, long time later.

He did not have much to say, and he was not good at farewell scenes. Lin Lei gently stroked the trunk of the large tree with one hand and said after a long time, “I am going.”

“Go, my child!” came a sigh-like response from the tree.

The current Lin Lei was already able to perform short-distance Space Jumps using his own body energy.

He directly opened the entrance to the Subspace beside the large tree, then stepped in and disappeared from Earth.

It was Lin Lei’s first time actively entering Subspace with his physical body. Compared to the transmission gates to different Dimension worlds opened by the World Tree back then, the difficulty was much lower. It did not involve too many changes in Rules; it was just opening a Subspace channel between two points in the Four Space-time Dimensions.

Lin Lei’s destination was near a black hole celestial body 2.3 Light Years away from Earth.

Speaking of which, this black hole had a deep connection with the Solar System. It is well known that the Solar System is not a first-generation star formed after the creation of the Universe, but was born from a nebula produced after a supernova explosion.

This point could be proven by the heavy elements found everywhere in the Solar System.

And the core left behind by that dead super star was the small black hole Lin Lei saw now. After billions of years of evaporation, its mass had decreased significantly, being no heavier than Jupiter at least, and its Event Horizon radius was also very small, less than five kilometers.

To the outside world, its total gravity was not immense, and there was no matter around it. The accretion process had long stopped, so even humans today had not discovered this small black hole in this corner.

The reason Lin Lei came here was not to visit the declining scene of this once-glorious star, but to use the black hole for an ultra-long-distance Space Jump.

For Lin Lei now, his body was no longer important. In this sea of cosmic energy that constantly rose and fell, he could construct a material body with his powerful Will anytime and anywhere.

Just like the Dark Saint from before, as long as the Will was strong enough, one could rise from the Void.

Lin Lei had not reached that level yet, but a small imitation was still achievable.

In the Universe, only Will is eternal and indestructible! This also indicated that the information constituting the Will also existed eternently.

The center of all black holes was a space-time singularity. This singularity, with infinite mass and density, was deeply trapped within this Four Space-time Dimensions.

According to Lin Lei’s current knowledge, he knew that the singularities of all black holes were connected and could all be traced back to the Origin of the Universe.

At the singularity, there was no concept of Dimension. Apart from some conservation laws, all physical laws lost their effect. The conservation of Will was also one of the laws in effect.

Time was meaningless here; it was completely chaotic. This was the state of the Universe at the Origin.

Passing through the black hole, Lin Lei’s body would be destroyed, but his Will would pass through the singularity and reach any place he wanted to go.

This was one aspect of what the Dark Saint called “Will travels through the Universe.”

Lin Lei stayed outside the black hole world for a while, then plunged in without hesitation. When he crossed the black hole’s Event Horizon, his information in this Star System would be completely erased, leaving only an image on the black hole world that could survive for tens of millions of years.

At the same moment, in the periphery of the Star System where the Apocalypse Three Star was located, in the endless Void, the quantum energy sea began to surge crazily. The information devoured by the black hole thousands of Light Years away, which was Lin Lei’s Will Body, appeared here out of thin air.

Appearing along with the Will Body were countless virtual particles!

Lin Lei immediately stopped the mutual annihilation of these virtual particles. Using the Order and Creation Dimensions he mastered, he began to reassemble his body using the positive particles among these virtual particles, while the negative particles were annihilated into energy in pairs using the Destruction Dimension and disappeared into the energy sea.

This method of creating things from the Void was the mighty power Lin Lei now possessed.

The fluctuations of the energy sea soon calmed down, and a human figure appeared in the Universe out of thin air. This was Lin Lei’s new body.

Lin Lei opened his eyes and felt the state of his whole body. It was good, much stronger than the original body. During reconstruction, the upper limit of energy the body could control was raised by him to 10,000 Energy Levels.

Lin Lei’s current Will intensity was more than enough to control energy of this intensity.

Now, he had truly transcended to a creature of another level, viewing the Universe with eyes different from those of individual intelligent races.

But in terms of emotion, Lin Lei still maintained his original view. The Pan-dimensional Creatures he had seen, whether the Dark Saint or the World Tree, were all incredibly lonely.

The Dark Saint was driven mad by loneliness, destroying life recklessly, and finally destroying himself. The World Tree, however, kept to her Forbidden Domain, spending the eternal years in peace.

Lin Lei did not want to walk through time alone, so he came to Apocalypse!
