Chapter 182: Destiny (Part 2)

When Fuweili came to Blue Rain Star, it became a key turning point in Lin Lei’s life. Without this confidante, Lin Lei would have been stuck on Blue Rain Star for at least a hundred years, and by the time he got out, it would have been too late for everything.

Even if he completed the Level 2 Reinforcement and became a primary Interstellar Life, he would still be trapped on this planet!

Of course, this was just one of the turning points. The second major turning point occurred when the Dark Remnants appeared and the Dark Saint tried to resurrect!

As Lin Lei’s activities in the Galaxy gradually increased, the specific consequences he caused became so complex that even he could hardly calculate them clearly.

The Fuweili incident gave him a wake-up call. He could no longer be certain: in the strange time period of “the past’s future,” did his own future self need to participate in every step of his growth?

For the sake of safety, Lin Lei decided to monitor his own growth process throughout. Because the current him had already fallen deeper into this time trap and could not escape.

In fact, this time trap had already begun the moment he returned to the past!

The most thrilling events during this process were basically all connected to the Dark Saint, that unlucky Pan-dimensional Creature.

He had always been confused. As a Pan-dimensional Creature, even if only a basic Will Ring of an eleventh-dimensional element remained, it was something the Lin Lei of the past could not withstand. Lin Lei had already verified this through Lenna.

In the past, extremely weak Lenna was still profound and incredibly power ful within Lin Lei’s Sea of Will. There was no reason why the Dark Saint would be unable to deal with him.

So, Lin Lei felt that there must be certain factors affecting the Dark Saint’s judgment.

Thinking it over, Lin Lei believed that only the power of a Pan-dimensional Creature level could truly have an impact. Therefore, he prepared to handle it himself.

To deal with a struggling Dark Saint, of course, there was no need to bring out his current powerful main body. Lin Lei only sent out a very hidden and weak Split Will to intimidate the Dark Saint. He just needed to let the Dark Saint know that the Lin Lei of the past was under his protection.

The Dark Saint’s whereabouts were very hidden, but Lin Lei knew he was hiding in some corner of Apocalypse Three Star.

Perhaps he could not be detected by the Watcher Civilization during his hiding period, but in Lin Lei’s eyes, he was as eye-catching as a star!

This was a special resonance between the Will Rings of Pan-dimensional Creatures, especially since much of Lin Lei’s comprehension of the Dimension Rules came from the Dark Saint.

When the Dark Saint sneaked into Apocalypse Three Star, it was much earlier than the appearance of the Dark Remnants. When one of Lin Lei’s faint Split Wills found him, Lin Lei’s past main body was fighting with the Saint in the Andromeda constellation.

To avoid attracting the attention of the Watcher Civilization, Lin Lei still used a body in a sparse energy state. The Will Fluctuations he emitted were similar to those of ordinary Apocalypse Residents.

At this time, the Dark Saint’s will was not revealed. He was lurking deep within the Sea of Will of an ordinary Apocalypse Person.

The Apocalypse Person who was possessed was an old man. Apart from his eyes being normal, his appearance was exactly the same as when Lin Lei first met the Dark Saint!

White hair, white eyebrows, few wrinkles on his face, rosy complexion, and looking very healthy.

When Lin Lei found this Apocalypse old man in the suburbs of Rumba City, he was concentrating on trimming the grass in the yard.

The sun was bright, the breeze was gentle, and it was a fine weather day.

The expression on the face of the Dark Saint’s host was also gentle and kind, showing not a hint of the doomsday demon who would later kill hundreds of millions.

Of course, the later Dark Saint had long abandoned this body; he was merely borrowing this image.

Lin Lei’s current state was similar to the spiritual bodies in myth and legend. He could freely pass through obstacles and human bodies, and ordinary people would not notice him.

But this sparse energy state could not be hidden from Pan-dimensional Creatures. As soon as Lin Lei arrived next to the lawn, the white-haired old man raised his head as if he had sensed something, staring straight at Lin Lei’s direction.

The Dark Saint had endowed this old man with extremely sensitive senses. He discovered the faint fluctuations in energy distribution by the edge of the lawn!

In the old man’s eyes, there stood a “person” by the edge of the lawn. In the sunlight, he had a faint shadow. This person was staring straight at him, saying nothing and making no movement.

This standoff lasted for less than a few seconds. Then, the old man’s once clear black and white eyes changed. The black pupils dilated rapidly, quickly occupying the entire eye socket, just like the gates of hell opening.

A voice sounded in Lin Lei’s Split Will: “Who are you? An energy life?”

From this sentence, it could be seen how weak the current Dark Saint had become. He couldn’t even see the faint connection between Lin Lei’s Split Will and the main body, mistakenly regarding this energy body as an independent life form.

Lin Lei didn’t say much. He simply transmitted three words: “Lucious.”

This was the name of the Dark Saint when he was an Energy Controller. It had been buried by the winds and sands of time for tens of millions of years, but now Lin Lei had dug it up.

Sure enough, the white-haired old man’s body shook violently. His mouth opened slightly, and he looked in shock at the faint light and shadow in the sun. It took a long time for him to recover.

“Who exactly are you!” The Dark Saint felt extreme caution in his heart. He had almost forgotten this name himself, yet it was brought up today. Although the secret itself was nothing special, its underlying meaning was profound.

To know such ancient secrets, how could he be a simple energy life? Only a Pan-dimensional Creature could survive for tens of millions of years without their will collapsing!

The Dark Saint observed the light and shadow in front of him again, and finally allowed himself to perceive the anomaly!

No, such sparse energy, such a weak will, could not possibly exist stably in the torrent of photons under the bright sun!

Can you expect a leaf to remain immovable like a rock in a fierce storm? That is an impossible phenomenon.

To be able to do this can only mean that this leaf is growing on a strong tree. This Will Body was just the tip of the iceberg visible to the Dark Saint!

The Dark Saint knew he had encountered a kindred spirit, and this kindred spirit was much stronger than him.

It was known that the probability of encountering a Pan-dimensional Creature in the Universe was extremely low. Lenna had lived for tens of millions of years and had only seen over a hundred. Earth had existed for over four billion years, and even then, no more than two hundred had been seen.

The Dark Saint didn’t know whether he was lucky or unlucky. Although he was indifferent, selfish, and arrogant, that attitude was only directed at ordinary Carbon-based Life forms. When encountering a kindred spirit stronger than him, he couldn’t hold his ground, and his tone of speech became soft.

“What did you come here for? I am already so miserable. I suppose you won’t get anything from me either.”

This was also a fact. What the Dark Saint currently possessed was nothing but a Will Ring. Non-Pan-dimensional Creatures couldn’t deal with him, and Pan-dimensional Creatures didn’t care about him. The Universe was so vast, no matter what the Dark Saint did, he wouldn’t hinder other kindred spirits.

Lin Lei came here prepared to act mysterious, so he didn’t say much. After hearing the Dark Saint’s words, he spoke another name: “Lennadesrya!”

This was the name of the World Tree. Before the Dark Saint was killed by the Fortress Main Gun of the Interstellar Fortress, he had gone to the Forbidden Domain of the World Tree and used dishonorable means to force the World Tree to give him a few promises.

At that time, Lenna herself was the executor of his agreement, and the Dark Saint had indeed relied on this agreement to escape the fire of the Fortress Main Gun.

However, Lenna’s promise did not say that if other Pan-dimensional Creatures caused him trouble, she would come to rescue him.

The Dark Saint regretted it deeply. He thought the World Tree was easy to bully, but it turned out he had shot himself in the foot, and it was Lenna who had exploited the loophole in the agreement.

Lin Lei only said a few words. The Dark Saint automatically analyzed various possibilities in his mind and arrived at this depressing conclusion.

His heart was dead, and he guessed that today was unavoidable no matter what.

This Saint was also a ruthless person. Once cornered, he would do anything.

Seeing the determined expression on his face, Lin Lei immediately knew the time was right: “In a few years, a warrior from the Star Alliance will come to interfere with your resurrection plan! For you, this interference is insignificant. So, I came today for a promise as well!”

Hearing that Lin Lei was not here to take his life, the tension that had been holding the Dark Saint immediately relaxed. What was a promise? Just give it!

“Speak! What promise? As long as I can manage it.”

The faint light and shadow outside the lawn changed and slowly began to fade. Finally, it directly turned into information and transmitted into the Dark Saint’s will.

The old man on the lawn paused. His pure black eyes returned to normal, but he muttered to himself, “A warrior from the Star Alliance? The Watcher Civilization? I am not allowed to strike him, and I must be supervised at any time! I, a Pan-dimensional Creature, must be the most failed one in history!”

This strange kindred spirit had only left such little information, without any specifics, but it had truly formed a practical deterrence against him.
