Chapter 581: Chapter 581: Returning to the Bizarre Otherworld
At the Outpost Base, Lin Xiao’s gaze withdrew from the Crystal Wall Universe CY-00801, as his Incarnation in this world ascended to dium Divine Power, its strength quickly approaching that of his True Body.
His True Body had not yet ascended to Weak Divine Power, but with the refining of the Innate Titan Ancient God Body, his main strength lay in how powerful the Titan Body was. On the contrary, it was not necessary to rapidly elevate the God Level of the New God, at least not until the ascension of the New God’s God Level to Rank 10 dium Divine Power, which couldn’t catch up with the Titan God Body.
Therefore, he really didn’t need to rapidly elevate his God Level like his Incarnation; a natural, step-by-step ascension was the best way.
Although the Incarnation had seized a great number of Divinities and leapt over several levels in one step to ascend to dium Divine Power, thus becoming powerful, it missed the experiences of the in-between stages. This could cause so repercussions when advancing to higher levels in the future.
Simply put, rapid elevation of God Level through the seizure of Divinities, due to the lack of these experiences, leads to an incomplete growth path. Future ascensions would need to continue this way, constantly seizing the Divinities of powerful true gods to advance.
Moreover, advancing in this manner basically made it impossible to cross that step and beco a being of Great Divine Power.
This was acceptable only because it was an Incarnation. If it were his True Body, he would certainly not dare to be so reckless.
Uniting the Dark Territory, ascending to dium Divine Power; it could be foreseen that for a very long and quiet ti, the Incarnation would quietly digest the entire Dark Territory and prop up the frawork of the Divine System.
Now, he wasn’t just a lone commander in battle. To conquer the entire Crystal Wall System in the future, he must beco a being of Powerful Divine Power and also need a powerful Divine System to aid him. He planned to have the nurous subordinates of the Giant God Combat Team descend one by one and find ways to help them achieve Divine Enthronent.
If the vast Dark Territory were to be fully developed, it could support several dozen formidable true gods and also sustain a being of Powerful Divine Power.
And all of this, would take ti.
Fortunately, due to the complex terrain of the Dark Territory, other races were not adapted to enter it. With the ho ground advantage, as long as he didn’t provoke the three Powerful Divine Powers, maintaining his rule over the Dark Territory wouldn’t be a problem.
At this mont, though Lin Xiao’s True Body still needed to be stationed at the Outpost Base, he could project a part of himself back to the Main World or descend to other worlds to carry on with his other affairs.
The strategy for this Crystal Wall Universe, designated CY-00801, was destined to be a ti-consuming task. He couldn’t possibly be confined here forever.
There was already one matter to handle: one of the bonds and attachnts left behind by an exiled Incarnation during the previous Divine Enthronent was still unresolved. Now that he had achieved Divine Enthronent and had free ti, it was better to resolve it early and settle the matter in his heart.
A ray of gold light flew out from his pupil, landing on the floor and quickly solidifying into a young man who was identical to him, but with an exceedingly tall and robust physique.
The muscles on the exposed arms seed ready to explode, marked by nurous intricate runes and faint golden threads. His pupils shone with lucent gold light, unusual to ordinary people, and he was wrapped in an intimidating aura that left one breathless. As he activated his Strength, his form rapidly swelled and transford into an Asura Naga covered in Gold scales of imnse size.
Demon Hunter Occupation Sequence 6—Dancer of the night!
Combined with the pure Asura Naga Bloodline, it gave rise to this special projection.
Lin Xiao examined this projection closely, took out a set of exquisite Dragon Skin Armour and two Single-hand Swords from the storage, waved his hand, and the projection turned into a streak of gold light and disappeared.
Next, this specially made projection would first return to the Super War Fortress Number Five. From there, it would use the Fortress’s Descending Array to travel to that Strange world.
In the far expanse of the Void, a colossal dark red orb was wrapped and eroded by Chaos Tides of dinsions unknown, spanning countless billions of miles. The Red Crystal Wall, eroded by the gray Chaos, turned into this ominous dark red color, as a barely perceptible flicker of light disappeared into the depths of the Crystal Wall.
On the wasteland, Lin Xiao slowly opened his eyes, imdiately noticing the ruins before him that had been abandoned for an unknown amount of ti, his face revealing a trace of surprise and realization:
“They’re all dead?”
The place of his descent was precisely the small base he had established in the depths of the wilderness the last ti he left. He had left behind a dozen Supre Nagas, a dozen Star Spirits, a dozen from the Red Furnace Clan, and over a hundred Lesser Nagas, only to find that now all these subordinates were dead, and the base itself was in ruins.
He said they were all dead and not missing because he found the remains of many subordinates in the ruins. Judging from the residual traces, they had all died in battle.
The strongest of the Supre Nagas he left behind were a few of High Transcendent Level Rank 7, who, with the help of the Asura Naga’s extraordinary Talent, could overpower generally weak Rank 8 creatures. Now that they all had perished in battle, it indicated that at least a Sequence 4 or above powerhouse had taken action back then.
Most likely, it was a Demigod of Sequence 3 or above.
“What a dangerous world!”
As too much ti had elapsed since their deaths, there was nothing left at the scene that could reveal the identity of the killer; the aura had long dissipated, and he had no way of knowing who it was, let alone seek revenge.
For now, there was nothing he could do; this Projection was specially made for enhancing physical Strength and inheriting the demon hunter sequence system from the previous Incarnation, but did not inherit spellcasting abilities. He could only wait for a future opportunity to encounter a high-level professional with Destiny or Prophecy Talent, who might be able to inquire about the incident.
For the present.
Lin Xiao raised his head to look at the sky, which had beco even darker and more oppressive than during his last visit. He dug a large pit, collected the bones of all his subordinates, and buried them before leaving the shattered base.

Centuries had passed since the last ti, but the wilderness remained as desolate as ever.
As he walked, he contemplated his next steps. The passage of hundreds of years ant that his original connections were no longer viable, as normal demon hunters couldn’t live for a century.
However, he could still use the demon hunter occupation he had inherited from the start. His current special projection’s professional level as a demon hunter had advanced to Sequence 6, known as Dancer of the Night, the highest rank he knew of in the demon hunter occupational system. Although it was possible to promote once more to Sequence 5, he had no knowledge of what Sequence 5 entailed and, therefore, couldn’t advance to it directly.
Besides, he didn’t think highly of the demon hunter system; it was rely a transition. He planned to find an opportunity to switch to a stronger and more promising career system.
Alternatively, he could find a career system that didn’t need to be complete but aligned with his Asura Naga Bloodline. He could then use Creation Energy to enhance it.
He currently had tens of thousands of units of Creation Energy unused. Since all the occupational systems in this world were created by the powerful, with his strength and insights, plus so much Creation Energy, there was no reason he couldn’t create a suitable career system for himself.
Traveling alone in the boundless wilderness, he soon ca upon a large road that cut across the wildlands. Weeds crept in from the edges toward the middle of the road, and beyond that, unknown tall grasses proliferated. Walking alone on this quiet road was decidedly lonely.
After what felt like ages, possibly having covered hundreds of kiloters, Lin Xiao suddenly heard the sound of approaching horse hooves from behind.
He paused by the side of the road and soon saw a dozen armored knights galloping past. His sharp eyes recognized that the leading three knights were professionals, though he couldn’t discern their specific occupations.
The knights noticed him as well. The leader pulled his reins to halt and, after carefully examining Lin Xiao for a mont, rode forward to address him:
“Are you a demon hunter, sir?”
Lin Xiao nodded:
“I am a demon hunter.”
This special projection had inherited the occupation of his forr incarnation and naturally bore the unique markers of a demon hunter.
The knight said:
“We serve under Count Dolan. Recently, near Dolun City appeared a large Strange Fragnt that turned into a bizarre space, from which evil creatures often erge. The count has issued a bounty quest. If you’re looking to make a fortune, perhaps you should visit Dolun City.”
“Large Strange Fragnts?”
Lin Xiao’s mind flashed with recognition of the term. These fragnts were remnants of the Crystal Wall Universe, chipped away by Chaos Energy, transforming into terrifying spaces. If purified, they could yield treasures containing the fundantal laws of a world’s foundation. This was valuable to any True God.
He also recalled Dolun City, the largest local city in the vicinity. If he wished to find a suitable career system, that seed like a good place to start.
He imdiately responded to the knight:
“I’ve heard about the situation in Dolun City and was planning to head there. However, I’m not familiar with the way. Could you provide with a map?”
The knight nodded, took out a rolled grey cloth from his chest, and handed it to him.
“Thank you!”
After the knight left, he unrolled the grey cloth, which bore a simple map drawn in black ink. Comparing it to his current location, he found that Dolun City wasn’t too far away.
He continued his journey according to the map, dealing with a few short-sighted wild beasts along the way until, on the third day at noon, he saw a large city built against a mountain in the distance.
The grey cloth map indicated that this was Dolun City.
Half the city was situated on the mountainside and half on the ground, surrounded by mountains on two sides, along the Dolan River on another, with only one side open for passage. It was truly a city easy to defend and hard to attack.
The Dolan River was a vast river over a kiloter wide, said to originate from the highlands on the far west of the continent, flowing southeast before joining another super-river.
The closer he got to Dolun City, the wider the nearby roads beca, and people began to appear, mostly villagers from nearby towns carrying goods to sell in the city or traders and adventurers from various places. Patrols passed by periodically.
Adventurers like Lin Xiao had beco quite common recently, so the patrols rely glanced at him before moving on.
The city’s official roads near the city were paved with stones and well-swept, with trees and ornantal grass planted neatly on both sides. At first glance, the city seed quite pleasant.
However, when he looked up at the city, he saw a huge black vortex slowly rotating overhead. The surrounding void was distorted, and occasionally streaks of crimson lightning struck down into the city, igniting dazzling fires.
Without a doubt, that was the so-called Strange Fragnt.
