CHAPTER 693: CHAPTER 399: THE INOPERATIVE VORTEX PORTAL_2

This sounds terrible.

This is a completely unknown future that will most likely have some risks.

But he only knew.

The Vortex Portal is right there.

If he doesn’t cross it, he will always feel a vague sense of unease in his heart.

It’s like climbing a mountain.

Not for any messy reasons.

Just because the mountain is there!

Human curiosity is always that never-ending boulder rolling down the mountain.

Curiosity is innate to us humans, its source lies in the environmental cognition demands arising from the survival instincts and the uncertainties of the living environment.

Since ancient times, it has been an important driving force for the progress of civilization, leading humanity from primitive caves to the vast universe, and from rudimentary tools to advanced technology.

And now, this curiosity is once again guiding him to step into a whole new domain.

It didn’t take long for him to ponder.

Chen Yun found the right path.

Because in his dream, countless pure cyan mists no longer drifted aimlessly as they used to, but began to move in a regular pattern.

They seemed to be guided by some mysterious force, advancing in a unified direction.

This direction is the Vortex Portal.

Therefore, finding the right path was not difficult.

Chen Yun’s consciousness advanced along their movement direction and quickly found himself in a long river made of pure cyan mist.

This river meandered and twisted, passing through fantastic landscapes formed by the mist.

The river banks consisted of towering columns of mist, resembling ancient pillars that supported the sky of this dreamscape, giving a particularly solemn impression.

Listening to the pure cyan mist whispering an ancient and mysterious language in his ear, conveying profound truths about the universe, time, and life.

Before long.

A gigantic vortex appeared before him.

This vortex lay ahead of the river, its center emanating a dazzling light that attracted all the surrounding mist.

The Seven-colored Light Points, which had always guided him in choosing his evolution direction, were now quietly embedded around the vortex like gemstones, rotating together and releasing endless power.

Chen Yun couldn’t help but take a deep breath.

The Vortex Portal before him seemed to have a mysterious allure that locked his gaze tightly.

Chen Yun knew.

Once he takes this step, he might never be able to return.

However.

He did not hesitate.

Without much thought, Chen Yun took that step, as if stepping onto a bridge leading to the future.

As his figure gradually merged into the vortex, the surrounding scenes began to twist and change, and time and space here lost their meaning.

This instant seemed to become infinitely long.

He felt as if he had experienced a long journey, yet it also seemed like a momentary event.

Chen Yun’s body and consciousness were continuously stretched and compressed, as if being torn into countless tiny particles. He felt an unprecedented sense of weightlessness, as if he was no longer a physical being but a stream of pure energy traversing between different dimensions.

He felt himself being drawn by an invisible force, crossing one strange dimension after another.

Colorful beams of light danced around him, forming various bizarre patterns, each pattern like an independent world, demonstrating different laws and logic.

He saw a planet made of pure energy, where lifeforms existed in the form of light and communicated through frequency resonance.

He also saw a void filled with darkness and cold, where time seemed to have stopped, and even light could not escape.

He further saw a world composed of geometric shapes, with each geometric figure representing a different universal law, dazzling the eyes.

Each universe had its unique rules and forms of life; in some universes, time was linear, while in others, it was cyclical; some universes had physical laws vastly different from the Primordial Star, with gravity, electromagnetic force, and other basic forces behaving in a completely different manner.

Meanwhile, endless information rushed into his mind like a tide, coming from different worlds, different eras, and even different universes.

They presented themselves in various forms: ancient texts, recording the rise and fall of civilizations; magnificent images, displaying awe-inspiring natural landscapes; and complex data streams, revealing the mysteries deep within the universe.

He witnessed the glory and destruction of ancient civilizations, the birth and death of Constant Stars, and even felt the emotions and thoughts of other intelligent beings.

Every moment brought new knowledge forming in his mind, elevating his understanding of the universe to an entirely new level.

What seemed like an infinitely long time.

In reality, was just a fleeting moment.

When everything calmed down.

Chen Yun found himself still in the pure cyan dreamscape.

Nothing around him had changed in any way.

The experience of traversing infinite dimensions and worlds felt as if it was just an illusion.

After a moment of contemplation.

Chen Yun chose to leave the dreamscape voluntarily after accepting the evolution brought by the Seven-colored Light Points.

The twenty-three evolutions were insignificant now; he was more concerned about his current situation.

Thus.

He instantly returned from the dreamscape to reality.

At this moment, his enhanced Spiritual Position could easily cover the hundred billion light-year range of the Martial Immortal - Hercules–Corona Borealis Great Wall.

After a casual sweep.

He had covered the distant Primordial Star.

He could see that the Primordial Star was still the same Primordial Star, and the universe was still the same universe.

It seemed that nothing had changed.

It seemed that he was still right there.

Crossing the Vortex Portal resulted in no change.

Did the Vortex Portal fail?

Yet.

The memory of the sensation of receiving countless dimensions and world information during the traversal was still fresh.

Why has nothing happened now?

Frankly speaking, Chen Yun did not understand what was going on.

He wanted to inquire via Super Intuition but only received an answer indicating a lack of traversal conditions.

Yes.

A lack of conditions.

It was not that the Vortex Portal was ineffective, but that something was missing at this moment.

So...

What was missing?

Chen Yun wasn’t clear about this.

He only knew that he had obviously boarded the vehicle, yet after it started, he was kicked off.

The uniquely experienced Chen Yun.

At this moment, he felt an itch in his heart, along with a sense of emptiness.

So.

Did he say farewell to nothing earlier?

In contemplation.

Chen Yun felt somewhat depressed.

So he chose to directly unleash with his new ability.

He brought his hands together into sword fingers, aimed at a certain direction, and lightly waved. An infinite golden brilliance flew out like Sword Qi.

This golden Sword Qi expanded rapidly as it flew out.

Soon, it reached a length of several million light-years.

The Milky Way is only about a hundred thousand light-years in diameter.

Yet this golden Sword Qi was several million light-years long, carrying an unparalleled momentum that destroyed all matter in its path, flying billions of light-years away without cease.

This is Geng Metal Energy.

It is masterful at slaughter and destruction.

By merely waving his hand, he created a man-made void surpassing the structure of a large void in the universe.

However, even after executing such an operation, Chen Yun’s somewhat gloomy mood did not improve.

Ever since the seventeenth evolution, each subsequent evolution.

In fact, they barely stirred his emotions.

After all, each evolution was a geometric leap, already reaching an exaggerated level.

Among a group of Level 1 individuals.

Whether he was a hundred billion levels or a trillion levels hardly mattered.

In contemplation.

Chen Yun used the Retrospect ability obtained from the evolution a couple of times ago, restoring everything damaged back to normal.

As if nothing had happened.

Subsequently.

He looked beyond the range of his Spiritual Position, which covered a hundred billion light-years.

If the Vortex Portal had failed.

Then, for him now, there was only a Plan B.

That is to venture into the boundless universe in exploration!

Currently, all he could hope for was that the universe was large enough.

Preferably, at a scale of quintillion quintillion quintillion light-years or more.

Otherwise.

After a few more rounds of evolution, he might truly surpass this universe and find no way out.

Such a future.

Isn’t very appealing.
