CHAPTER 683: CHAPTER 394: 17 EVOLUTIONS · PORTAL APPEARS_2

As Chen Yun’s consciousness advanced along the long river, he gradually felt an unprecedented calm and tranquility.

These pure azure mists seemed to be speaking an ancient and mysterious language, conveying profound truths about the universe, time, and life.

The movement of each wisp of mist seemed to be performing a grand cosmic symphony, where every note was filled with wisdom and strength.

Suddenly, something different appeared before his eyes.

Ahead of the long river, a giant vortex emerged, the center of which was emitting dazzling light, attracting the surrounding mists.

And around the vortex.

Chen Yun saw those seven-colored light points.

The seven-colored light points that had always guided his choice of evolution direction were now quietly set like gemstones around the vortex, rotating together.

The giant vortex ahead of the river, at this moment, was like a massive black hole, emitting dazzling light while attracting the surrounding mists.

And around the vortex, those familiar seven-colored light points were inlaid like gemstones.

Quietly rotating, releasing endless strength.

An indescribable feeling surged in Chen Yun’s heart at this moment.

He felt that all of this before him was not merely a simple vortex, but a portal to higher, more indescribable domains.

Yes.

A portal indeed!

In different cultures and contexts, the word "portal" has multiple meanings, but it usually symbolizes the channel connecting two different spaces or states.

Besides the physical meaning of a portal.

The word represents much more.

And at this moment.

Chen Yun instinctively felt that this was an embryonic form of a portal.

He gazed into the light at the center of the vortex, feeling a strong call.

As if this portal was waiting for him, ready to lead him into a brand-new realm.

He felt his consciousness deeply attracted by this force, as if an invisible gravity was pulling him, rendering him unable to resist.

Perhaps.

This was likely the portal seen in the prophetic images of the future.

Chen Yun didn’t know where it led.

But he felt an intrinsic curiosity.

So, he tried to approach it.

Every step was filled with awe and anticipation.

The pure azure mists gently brushed by his side, as if guiding him in the direction.

When he finally stood at the edge of the vortex, the light of the seven-colored light points became even more radiant.

Chen Yun could feel it.

At this moment, the seven-colored light points not only bestowed upon him a new evolution ability as usual but were also conveying some information to him.

Yes.

The light points seemed to be sending some sort of message to him.

Only Chen Yun couldn’t understand this message.

He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and felt everything around him.

He realized this was definitely more than just a simple evolution.

Behind this portal.

Perhaps hidden were the deepest secrets of the universe, the truths about the essence of life. More likely, it contained the essence and reason of his evolution.

As long as he stepped over.

It would be an unprecedented new world.

But it could also be an abyss.

In completely unknown circumstances, he desperately wanted to try because of intense curiosity.

But the problem is...

If he stepped into the portal and went to another place.

Then whether it was his consciousness or physical body that went.

On the Primordial Star, essentially, he would no longer be the king.

Even though Chen Yun didn’t care about the throne.

Nor was he too concerned about the various upheavals that would occur on the forcibly unified Primordial Star without him.

Still, he cared a little for those who had been by his side and experienced much together.

If he left now.

It would be fine in the short term.

But once it’s confirmed for a long time that the king is truly gone.

Then for those people, it could be a catastrophic disaster.

So upon thinking of this.

Chen Yun stopped his steps in front of the vortex portal.

He would pass through it later.

But definitely not now!

Thinking this.

Sensing that after the seven-colored light points gave him evolution, he still didn’t exit the dream state as usual.

Chen Yun silently transmitted the thought of wanting to leave.

No need to shout.

He just silently thought it.

This pure azure dreamscape received it shortly after.

In an instant.

His consciousness was enveloped by a powerful force.

And then, forced through the barrier between dream and reality.

This was the same as exiting a dream in the past.

When he opened his eyes again, he found himself back in the real world.

The night sky on the Moon remained serene, and the Primordial Star was still hanging not far in the sky, but Chen Yun’s heart was entirely different.

Clenching his fist to feel the changes in his body.

Chen Yun knew.

This evolution was not just an enhancement of strength; it was a profound understanding of the universe’s mysteries.

He felt that his connection with the world had become tighter, as if the entire universe was opening its doors to him.

His super intuition told him.

This change was unrelated to the newfound strength and new abilities after evolution.

But because of the portal in his dream.

Although the vortex-like portal’s destination was unknown.

And though he hadn’t yet stepped through it.

In a mysterious way.

He had already undergone some different changes.

Chen Yun stood up.

Looking at the vast starry sky ahead, his heart was filled with endless yearning for the future.

Matters related to the portal were set aside for now.

In nurturing enough strength to protect his loved ones, or in making his loved ones robust enough to fend for themselves.

Chen Yun did not plan to attempt the portal for the time being.

Although the prophetic images of the future suggested he would inevitably pass through that portal.

It just meant inevitably through.

Not necessarily now.

With this thought, Chen Yun began to feel the changes brought by this evolution.

Aside from the new ability.

Just the change in his strength was great enough that Chen Yun couldn’t help but want to shout about his satisfaction.

After the last evolution, his pure physical strength was fifty million tons.

This seemed vast, but it was actually still an insignificant part of all Chen Yun’s strengths.

But now.

His strength directly reached five hundred billion tons.

That’s right.

Exactly five hundred billion tons.

Exactly ten thousand times the previous fifty million tons.

This exaggerated ten-thousand-fold evolution, how was it not extraordinarily satisfying?

Although the rate of evolution increased further down the road.

This pace of evolution.

Still made Chen Yun feel even saying satisfaction ten thousand times wouldn’t be enough.

To know, five hundred billion tons is an enormous unit, comparing it to the water on the Primordial Star, all the oceans globally are about 1.332 billion trillion tons, so five hundred billion tons is roughly 0.0375% of the global ocean water volume.

This may not seem much, but if considering the vast volume of the oceans, this ratio represents a significant amount of water.

In comparison to atmospheric mass, the Primordial Star’s atmosphere is estimated at about 5.15×10^18 kilograms, which is 5,150 billion tons.

Thus, five hundred billion tons is approximately 96.7% of the total mass of the Primordial Star’s atmosphere, almost equivalent to the entire weight of the planet’s atmosphere.

Of course, although it is already quite exaggerated.

In comparison to celestial mass, five hundred billion tons are insignificant on a cosmic scale.

For example, the Moon’s mass is approximately 7.342×10^19 kilograms, or 73,420,000 billion tons, meaning five hundred billion tons account for only about 0.68% of the Moon’s mass.

Although five hundred billion tons is an extremely large number, its meaning and impact will vary greatly under different contexts and references.

But overall.

For an ordinary intelligent carbon-based life form, such mighty power embodied in one is indeed a bit exaggerated.

A casual punch.

Would undoubtedly cause a natural disaster of unimaginable proportions.

The entire weight of humanity on the Primordial Star is only a little over sixty million tons.

This number is based on global population and average weight calculations.

With time, global population and average weight may change, thereby affecting the total weight of humanity.

Nonetheless, this value still serves as a rough reference.

And for the current Chen Yun.

It is in the true sense that carrying all of humanity on his back seems somewhat exaggerated strength gathered in one individual.

If he were to casually throw a punch.

The entire human population, which is calculated based on global population estimates and average weight, is only a little over sixty million tons at present.

This value may change as global population and average weight change over time, thus affecting humanity’s overall weight.

But for the current Chen Yun.

It is indeed quite exaggerated to have such immense power within one being.

A casual punch thrown down.

Would simply be overwhelming.
