Chapter 385: The Abyssal (1/2)

”What!” Blurted out Ling Chen with a surprised expression on his face after hearing the Leviathan Palace Lord's words.

At this moment, Ling Chen's mind was buzzing with endless questions and he didn't know where to start.

However, the Palace Lord didn't give a chance to ask any questions as he went on and explained everything from the beginning.

According to the Palace Lord, everything in the universe existed with its equal and opposite, including the Nine Rings of the Chaos Universe.

He went on and compared the Nine Rings of the Chaos Universe with a coin with two sides. One side of the coin was the Nine Rings of the Chaos Universe, a place that was brimming with life and light.

While the other side was another universe known as the Abyssal. The Abyssal was a place engulfed with eternal darkness and was filled with evil and deadly creatures.

Both the Nine Rings of the Chaos Universe and the Abyssal had their own Will. And due to the evil nature of the Abyssal Will, it constantly tried to take over and erode Nine Rings of the Chaos Universe and the Extreme Void Belts was the result of that.

All of the Nine Extreme Void Belts were part of the Abyssal Universe, not the Nine Rings of the Chaos Universe. It was also the main reason why the Laws of the Nine Rings of the Chaos Universe didn't apply there.

Though the Will of the Abyssal was able to eat away part of the Nine Rings of the Chaos Universe and created the Extreme Void belts which were like a bridge between the two universes, it was still unable to send his creatures to the other side.

However, ten thousand years ago, something unexpected happened and all the creatures within the 6th Extreme Void Belts and the others broke loose and invaded the 6th Ring of the Chaos Universe and up, resulting in an all-out war.

Because of that, the 7th Ring of the Chaos Universe and the other dimensions below lost connection with the upper dimensions.

As such, powerful warriors were unable to ascend into higher dimensions after reaching the limit of their respective realms.

Not only that but the True Qi energy of these places which had lost connections with the upper dimension was getting thinner and thinner with every passing year.

Furthermore, even though the 7th Ring of the Chaos Universe and the lower dimensions were currently safe, It was also only a matter of time before the war reached them.

After hearing the Leviathan Palace Lord's explanation, Ling Chen's heart trembled. He was so shocked that a storm stirred in his soul, and it was no less stronger than the shock he felt when he found out about his past life.

He had no idea that something big like that was happening and that thought never crossed his mind as well.

At the same time, many things that didn't make sense to him now did. For example, he now understood why he was able to absorb the chaotic energy in the 8th Extreme Void Belt while he couldn't in the Nine Ring of the Chaos Universe.

He also understood why all the monsters in the 8th Extreme Void Belts were all dark creatures that used dark and poisonous energy unlike the other monsters in the Nine Ring of the Chaos Universe.

After a while, Ling Chen forced down the tremors in his heart as he asked.” Then why are guys looking for the shard of the Dimensional Spatial Gateway's Key so bad?”
