Chapter 978: Chapter 492: Delving into the Flame River! Kill! (6K)

The starry sky space rift, though called a "rift," actually occupies over 90% of the Mortal Domain.

The regions covered by the origin of tens of thousands of dimensional planes altogether merely make up less than 10%.

However, every dimensional plane will give birth to Life Planets, which, under the guidance of the origin, gradually evolve into "intelligent life." Where there is life, the dimensional planes brim with wonder.

Yet the vast expanse of the "starry sky space rift" nurtures countless treasures, attracting plane-life forms to venture into its depths.

After all, while dimensional planes do give rise to abundant ordinary life, the treasures birthed therein are far fewer.

Over the long eras, through accumulated intelligence, some perilous treasure lands in the starry sky space rift gradually became well-known.

The Flame River is one such place of great renown.

...

The outskirts of the Flame River.

At an inconspicuous wormhole, the space slightly distorted, and a black-garbed figure emerged from the wormhole.

"We’ve reached the outskirts of the Flame River, Region 89. Proceeding deeper will lead to the true ’Flame River.’" Li Yuan gazed forward.

In the distance, there appeared a vast, fiery-red river, seemingly suspended in the void. This fiery-red river spanned tens of millions of miles in width and height, while its length exceeded hundreds of millions of miles.

"Though called a river, it’s actually formed by countless fire-attributed celestial bodies merged with endless flaming streams," Li Yuan mused internally.

How did the Flame River come to be? How was it born?

No one knows.

It’s merely recorded in civilizations’ histories that millions of years ago, it had already existed here.

"Little Ice, the countless wormholes of this Mortal Domain are indeed wondrous," Li Yuan said softly. "If we were to rely on flight alone, traveling from the Seven Star Civilization would take tens of thousands of years."

"But through the wormhole, we arrived in just three days."

Li Yuan’s flying speed, without employing "Void Travel," could now traverse over a hundred kilometers in a second, rivaling the normal flight speed of those at the Pseudo-God Limit.

Little Ice’s flying speed was even more astonishing.

The fact that mere flight would take them tens of thousands of years illustrates the vast distance separating the two locations—a span of over a hundred light-years.

The entirety of the Mortal Domain is even vaster.

"Indeed, wondrous," Little Ice said. "The tens of thousands of dimensional planes in the Mortal Domain would, without the interconnected network of Star Realm passages and wormholes, likely remain isolated islands of civilization, almost impossible to link."

"In the Divine Realm, the countless planets communicate and interact using natural wormholes and man-made transmission arrays."

"Though some exceedingly powerful True Gods, having comprehended Space Law to a high level..."

"Or Heavenly Gods who have grasped the Great Dao..."

"They can directly employ ’Void Shifting.’ For them, traveling becomes effortless, and they can even cross entire Star Domains in an instant," Liu Bing remarked. "The workings of heaven and earth have their profound mysteries."

Li Yuan nodded slightly. Though he had heard of it before, this was his first time traversing the starry sky space rift, and he naturally felt the profound marvels of the way heaven and earth operated.

The countless wormholes of the Mortal Domain, even if True Gods tried to forcefully destroy them, would soon reappear, connecting various parts of the domain. It almost seemed as though their purpose was to strengthen inter-plane communication...

Even beings as powerful as Heavenly Gods, capable of eradicating countless planes, would see the dimensional planes reborn over the long passage of time.

Within the dimensional planes, the countless Life Planets always reestablish "Star Realm Passages" with their core planets.

This, too, follows the rules of the workings of heaven and earth.

"Let’s go. By crossing another wormhole, we’ll reach Region 88," Li Yuan said softly. "Lie Qing True God is already waiting for us."

The countless wormholes in the Mortal Domain are unfathomably complex. Civilizations with shallow intelligence accumulation wouldn’t even know the precise locations and regions these wormholes lead to.

After obliterating the Myriad Demons Civilization, Li Yuan had acquired a wealth of wormhole intelligence. Furthermore, he had allied with Lie Qing True God, gaining access to tens of thousands of years of gathered wormhole intelligence from their civilization.

This information spared the Seven Star Civilization years of accumulation efforts.

Soon after.

As he emerged from the wormhole, Li Yuan immediately sensed a powerful creature lurking hundreds of kilometers away in the starry sky.

Its body stretched over ten meters long, equipped with a massive tail and ferocious teeth. It had six hoof-like claws and was covered in dark scales, blending seamlessly with the surrounding space, concealing its aura while quietly observing the wormhole.

"Black Turtle Clan? A Demigod?" Li Yuan cast a glance at the creature.

Within the tens of thousands of dimensional planes in the Mortal Domain, the humanoid species are the most abundant, comprising over half of all intelligent life forms.

Civilizations such as the Myriad Demons Civilization and the Immortal Ruins Civilization consist primarily of humanoid species.

But other intelligent species also exist in abundance.

Even among humanoid species, due to differences in planes and planetary environments, the evolutionary traits of their external forms vary.

Lie Qing True God, for instance, belongs to the humanoid species but stands a hundred meters tall, falling under the category of giants.

The Black Turtle Clan, on the other hand, is a third-rate civilization dependent on the Immortal Ruins Civilization.

"Is it here to scout?"

"Could it be one of Chi Yan True God’s subordinates?" Li Yuan, who had come to hunt True Gods, naturally remained cautious, continuously keeping his presence perfectly integrated into the spatial layers as he swiftly slipped past.

From start to finish.

The powerful Black Turtle Clan member showed no indication of being aware.

With Li Yuan’s current strength, eradicating tens of thousands of ordinary Demigods in a single thought would be effortless... His mastery of Space Law allowed him to easily evade the perception of an ordinary Demigod.

Whoosh!

After flying tens of thousands of miles, Li Yuan finally reached the starry coordinates provided by Lie Qing True God.

"Lie Qing True God." Under the release of his Divine Sense, Li Yuan detected the figure thousands of kilometers away.

Among True Gods, concealing one’s aura from each other is exceedingly difficult.
