Immortality Starts With Diligence(Xianxia Litrpg)

643. Merging with the Core of the Realm, Transformation Begins!

The realm's prototype was inherently fragile. Under the pressure exerted by Lin Fei's Eternal Realm, it quickly cracked open.

As the realm's prototype fractured, its terrifying power surged forth tumultuously. Even Lin Fei's Eternal Realm was shaken.

However, this power seemed to weaken rapidly and could not sustain itself. Thus, the Eternal Realm steadied itself.

Once the realm's prototype shattered, all external forces began to dissipate swiftly. There was no turning back now. There was only moving forward, no retreat allowed. Success was the only option, For if it failed, there was no second realm's prototype for Lin Fei to attempt with.

With no way back, Lin Fei's resolve only strengthened.

"Continue."

Lin Fei kept breaking apart the realm's prototype. Gradually, it kept shrinking until it finally revealed a pitch-black hole, seemingly devouring power from all directions, capable of absorbing all forms of energy.

"Black hole..."

Lin Fei didn't know the function of this black hole, but it seemed to be the core of the realm's prototype. Whether this black hole could transform Lin Fei's Eternal Realm into a realm, he had to find out for himself.

"Merge!"

Lin Fei did not ponder for long, as there was no time to hesitate. Deprived of power, the black hole became unstable, seemingly on the verge of collapse.

Should it collapse, it would dissipate completely, and the realm's prototype would be lost. Thus, Lin Fei's Eternal Realm swept towards the black hole.

"Hum."

The Eternal Realm enveloped the black hole, immediately causing intense fluctuations within.

"Boom."

The black hole began to absorb all sorts of forces—laws, rules, life, and more, seemingly devouring everything.

"This isn't right; if this continues, the Eternal Realm will collapse!"

Lin Fei furrowed his brow. He felt that the black hole didn't function this way within the realm's prototype.

In the realm's prototype, the black hole did devour. But after devouring, it transformed the energy into another type of force. A force that sustained the entire realm's prototype, even allowing it to continue evolving and transforming into a true realm, not just mindlessly consuming everything without producing special power.

"Is the method incorrect? Or is this just the nature of the black hole?"

Lin Fei pondered, his brow creased in thought. For now, the Eternal Realm could still endure for a considerable period, so there was no need for immediate panic.

"I'll try the World Origin!"

Lin Fei gritted his teeth. The World's Origin is the core of any world. Without it, everything else is meaningless, and the world itself would cease to exist.

Thus, Lin Fei would not resort to using the World Origin unless absolutely necessary—after all, it was the heart of the Eternal Realm.

But now, he had to attempt it; otherwise, all his previous efforts would be in vain.

Lin Fei then mobilized a portion of the Eternal Realm's original power, channeling it into the black hole.

"Boom."

The black hole trembled slightly, causing even the entire Eternal Realm to quake. Immediately after, Lin Fei could clearly feel that something was transforming within the black hole, and it seemed to be nurturing something.

"Could it be successful?"

Lin Fei's eyes widened. He held his breath and focused intently on the black hole. The black hole seemed to be continuously nurturing. It was unclear how much time had passed, but finally, the black hole began to operate again.

Simultaneously, Lin Fei's consciousness seemed to form a connection with the black hole. It appeared that after the black hole had absorbed Lin Fei's origin, it naturally became a part of the Eternal Realm.

Lin Fei could now control the black hole.

"Indeed, the black hole is the core of the realm's prototype. This black hole should be called the Realm Core! The previous realm's prototype formed gradually because of this black hole. To evolve into a realm, the Realm Core is necessary. The Realm Core seems to form naturally and can only form within the Chaos. Without a Realm Core, even a True Immortal-level world could never transform into a realm."

Lin Fei finally understood.

That's why the Ancient Continent, despite its lengthy existence and the emergence of True Immortals and Martial Ancestors, had never evolved into a realm.

It was because it lacked a Realm Core. And the Realm Core can only form within the Chaos, under obscure and stringent conditions. Once a Realm Core is born, if there are no accidents, it will gradually develop into a complete realm!

Now, Lin Fei was in a similar situation. He had fortuitously acquired the realm's prototype and obtained the Realm Core within it. He had completely integrated it into the Eternal Realm, and through the World Origin, he had fully merged and taken control of the Realm Core.

It was akin to the heart of a human body. Lin Fei, through the World Origin, had turned the Realm Core into the "heart" of the Eternal Realm.

"Seal."

Now that Lin Fei understood the function of the Realm Core, he willed it and immediately moved the Realm Core into the Sea of Origin within the Eternal Realm.

"Boom."

The void itself trembled violently. The entire Eternal Realm was also shaking intensely.

The Realm Core could only digest the World Origin. Only by absorbing the World's Origin could it transform and produce a unique power that would allow the world to continue evolving.

For instance, Lin Fei's Eternal Realm was at the True Monarch level. If it is endowed with a Realm Core continuously converting into unique realm powers, it would be akin to slowly transforming a True Monarch-level world.

Practically without any bottleneck, it could swiftly be transformed into a True Immortal-level world. And then continue transforming, eventually becoming a realm!

Such is the terrifying nature of the Realm Core. Or rather, this is the true function of the Realm Core.

Lin Fei no longer needed to search for any essences of flesh and blood. It was pointless. He only needed the World Origin.

However, Lin Fei's Eternal Realm didn't have much World Origin. Unless he went to the Chaos, where the Chaos Qi, to some extent, could substitute for the World Origin.

The Chaos Qi, unusable by even Supremes, could be absorbed by the Realm Core and slowly transformed into realm power.

Of course, this transformation was extremely slow. Otherwise, the realm's prototype wouldn't need such a long time to evolve into a true realm.

There was another method, the most direct and fastest method: Directly plundering the World Origin of other worlds.

Then, as the Realm Core continuously devoured the World Origin, it could incessantly convert it into realm power, thus quickly transforming Lin Fei's Eternal Realm.

"World Origin, I need a vast amount of World Origin! Otherwise, how many years would it take just by undergoing arduous cultivation in the Chaos? A thousand years? Ten thousand years? Or even a hundred thousand, a million years? With the threat of the Dark Demon Domain, I can't wait! The Divine Realm also can't wait!"

Lin Fei murmured in a low voice, a sharp gleam flickering in his eyes.

It was pointless to endure arduous cultivation in the Chaos. There was no sense in it. He had already delayed almost ten months.

It had also been about ten months since the Dark Demon Domain had ceased its advance, nearly a year. Who knew what the Dark Demon Lord was brewing?

Or perhaps, if the Dark Demon Lord had left the Divine Realm and returned to the Dark Demon Domain, who knew when he would return?

Once the Dark Demon Lord returned to the Divine Realm, it was unquestionable. The Dark Demon Lord would certainly have a way to deal with Lin Fei.

Then, if Lin Fei's strength had not undergone a qualitative transformation, it would be very dangerous. Thus, Lin Fei had to rapidly enhance his power, even if it meant at all costs!

Lin Fei immediately rose and left the chamber. The matter of collecting a vast amount of World Origin, He still had to discuss with the Azure Emperor Supreme and the other eight Supremes.
