Chapter 521: Chapter 522: Trapped in Chaotic Star River, Lin Zhen’s countermeasure

Upon hearing Chris’s words, Lin Zhen immediately became interested.

“You mean, as long as I deposit another 200 billion Cosmic Crystals into my bank card, you can find information about the Phoenix Nirvana? Can a dead person really come back to life?”

“Master, the Phoenix is not an ordinary Galaxy Beast, and there is indeed a Nirvana theory for it. However, it should not be a simple matter, since I cannot access any information for now, I cannot give you more precise news.”

Chris hesitated for a moment: “Also, I need to correct a mistake. It’s not 200 billion Cosmic Crystals, but 400 billion. You have already squandered 300 billion, leaving only 100 billion.”

Only then did Lin Zhen recall that he had spent most of his Cosmic Crystals, with a Wutong Tree sapling alone costing him a third of his fortune.

400 billion Cosmic Crystals were definitely not a small number. Unless Lin Zhen had a chance like last time, this amount would almost be an astronomical figure impossible to achieve.

However, Lin Zhen had also seen big waves and was most afraid of being without a goal or a method. Now that he knew he could obtain information about the Phoenix Nirvana with 400 billion Cosmic Crystals, he immediately gained motivation.

“If I want to make money, I’m afraid it won’t work staying in the Chaotic Star River; I have to go back to Fire Kirin.”

After thinking for a moment, Lin Zhen immediately decided to go back, although he didn’t really want to leave Phoenix Habitat Star.

Phoenix Habitat Star was the name Lin Zhen gave to this small planet, which was the dwelling place of Phoenix.

But in order to learn the secret of Phoenix Nirvana as soon as possible, Lin Zhen had to go back. Whether taking on missions or being a Star Shift Master, he had to earn 400 billion.

After staying at the Wutong Tree for another day, Lin Zhen was ready to leave.

“Little Phoenix, I’m going.”

Gently caressing the tree trunk, this was where Feng Qingluan loved to lean.

“Although the Dimensional Universe System has announced your death, I won’t believe it. You definitely won’t leave me so heartlessly. No matter where you are, at any cost, I will bring you back by my side. Now I’m going to find the method of your Nirvana.”

“If that doesn’t work, I’ll learn Time Law, turn back time and space, and find you.”

“If that still doesn’t work, then… when the black hole that devoured my soul appears again one day, I might as well live through it once more! And by then, there will definitely not be an outcome like today!”

Lin Zhen spoke these words in his heart, and then boarded the small spaceship.

After a month of recuperation here, Lin Zhen’s injuries had fully healed, and his condition had returned to its original state. It was time to go back.

The small spaceship took off as Lin Zhen began his journey home.

At first, Lin Zhen’s flying speed was not too fast, and the spaceship’s radar showed that enemies were actually chasing him!

“Master, 15 stars away, we have detected an Insect Clan Battleship coming towards us!”

Lin Zhen’s brow furrowed. He hadn’t expected the Insect Clan’s battleship to come back and hunt him down. How had they locked onto his position? He had clearly left Phoenix Habitat Star.

“Accelerate to sub-light speed status, throw them off. The Insect Clan’s battleships are large and can’t accelerate within the Chaotic Star River.”

Lin Zhen’s small spaceship accelerated instantly, shaking off the Insect Clan’s ship when it reached sub-light speed status.

However, whenever Lin Zhen slowed down, the Insect Clan’s ship would follow closely. Lin Zhen even tried many methods to get rid of them during the journey, but they always reappeared like shadows.

“Someone is giving my position to the Insect Clan!”

Lin Zhen quickly came to this conclusion. There was no other way to explain the phenomenon. There were only three people from the Fire Kirin Empire in Chaotic Star River now, apart from himself, there were Ye Hua and Tianci.

There was no doubt that one or both of them had done this. Both of them had some conflicts with Lin Zhen, and Lin Zhen’s current ranking on the kill list was even higher than theirs.

“Two shameless fellows are using such despicable methods! I’m sure that when Qingluan was hunted initially, their shadow was involved too!”

“As long as I return to the Empire, I will expose their actions.”

“Do not slow down, maintain sub-light speed, and head towards the Space Monument. Even if the Insect Clan knows my destination, they can’t catch up.”

The small spaceship sped onward at maximum speed, heading straight for the Space Monument.

This move proved effective, as the Insect Clan’s ship was left behind and no longer appeared on the radar screen. After half a month, Lin Zhen finally returned to the Space Monument from the garbage disposal plant!

Ahead, the Space Monument was already in sight.

“Warning! Warning! There are powerful lifeforms guarding the entrance of the Space Monument.”

“Who is it? Who is blocking the Space Monument?”

“One has a Star Power index of 900, identified as… Tianci.”

“The other has a Star Power index of 3,400, identified as…Ye Hua!”

Lin Zhen’s heart chilled a bit, noticing the two shameless individuals waiting to ambush him and report his location to the Insect Clan. This rendered it impossible for him to return to the Fire Kirin Empire.

Because of their manipulation, Lin Zhen might not receive the number one reward from the Fire Kirin Empire. To Lin Zhen, that first place belonged to Little Phoenix.

“This is shamelessness to the extreme! The death of Little Phoenix, you both need to shoulder a huge responsibility! Especially Ye Hua!”

The current situation revealed many problems. If not for Ye Hua’s words, Little Phoenix wouldn’t have been injured so severely. Moreover, at the last moment, why did Mantis Commander and Locust Commander, who were supposed to be fighting against Tianci and Ye Hua, appear on the battlefield where Lin Zhen and Little Phoenix were being attacked?

It was because they had let their guard down, using the Insect Clan’s hand to eliminate him and Little Phoenix. That’s why the final siege took place.

Realizing these truths, Lin Zhen felt anger rising within him.

But he couldn’t confront the other party head-on for now. Let alone Tianci, Ye Hua’s Star Power had reached over 3000. He truly was a Late Stage of Star System genius. Lin Zhen currently only had a little over 1000 Star Power, which was no match for his opponents.

Moreover, Ye Hua had ranked ninth in Space Monument, which meant he had equally strong mastery of Space Law. In addition to not being able to use Spatial Slash, Ye Hua was well-acquainted with Lin Zhen’s tactics. If he wanted to assassinate him using Spatial Slash, it would be impossible and akin to courting death.

“This matter is far from over. Little Phoenix’s vengeance will be avenged!”

Lin Zhen stopped the spacecraft, feeling anxious. If he didn’t leave through the Light Tunnel, it would be almost impossible to leave the Chaotic Star River.

Going to other places would take countless years.

Before he could figure out a way to leave the Chaotic Star River, Lin Zhen noticed the Insect Clan’s battleship approaching again on the spacecraft’s coordinate paper!

Never before had the Insect Clan dared to be so audacious in approaching the Light Tunnel, as it was their most direct provocation towards the Fire Kirin.

If not for Ye Hua and Tianci providing his coordinates, how could the Insect Clan catch up?

Having no other choice, Lin Zhen turned the spacecraft around, flying deeper into the Chaotic Star River.

“Haha! Brother Ye Hua, did you see? Lin Zhen is afraid! He doesn’t dare to go through the Light Tunnel anymore and instead runs back like a shrinking turtle!”

Ye Hua sneered, nodding. “Of course, seeing us here, he naturally doesn’t dare to come and seek his own death. However, this kid is quite clever. If he was a little more reckless and wanted to come and fight me to the death, I would be delighted to personally slay him.”

“I dare say that if it was just me alone, Lin Zhen would definitely dare to fight. But with you here, he wouldn’t dare to hit an egg against a rock.”

Tianci had self-awareness, whether he liked it or not, he had to admit that Lin Zhen’s fighting strength was now on par with his own. The boy he had initially thought he could crush easily had grown to his level.

“It’s all up to you now. Keep the Mantis informed about Lin Zhen’s information. You also have the locator, right? We must make sure Lin Zhen dies in the Chaotic Star River.”

“What about you?” asked Tianci.

“I have to hurry up and cultivate. In the end, only I can rely on myself.”

Tianci nodded, “You can focus on cultivating, leave Lin Zhen to me. I will keep an eye on him and ensure there will be a day when he stops and gets captured by the Insect Clan, unable to escape forever within the Chaotic Star River.”

Ye Hua nodded, looking towards the starry sky, where a dancing celestial light formed the shape of a phoenix in the distance.

“Qing Luan, don’t blame me. Blame yourself for loving the wrong person. Since you made your choice, I’ll send him to accompany you….”

Lin Zhen felt a headache as he watched the persistent spacecraft following them.

These Insect Clan guys seemed to be determined to chase him. It had been nearly two months, the pursuit unrelenting, with spacecraft relays in between. It seemed they intended to chase him forever.

Lin Zhen couldn’t keep entangling with them. He still needed to cultivate and make money. He didn’t know what Phoenix Nirvana meant, but he could imagine that the longer it took, the harder it would be to achieve.

“I have to come up with a solution…”

Lin Zhen closed his eyes and contemplated for a moment, turning to Chris, “What do you think they are using to chase and lock onto my location?”

“Master, I know this. They are using my position in the Dimensional Universe to locate you. No matter how much you try to hide, you can’t escape their sight.”

“Is there a solution? I need to make money. Even if my main body can’t leave, my clone must leave this place, otherwise, there’s no money to be made here.”

“There is one solution, which is to separate your main body from your clone and then hide your main body in an absolutely secure place, allowing them to believe you can’t get out anymore. This would cause them to let their guard down, giving your clone an opportunity to leave through the Light Tunnel.”

Lin Zhen nodded. That was his intention – cultivating and making money were two different things. He wanted his clone to find an opportunity to leave the Chaotic Star River, while his main body attracted attention here. He needed an absolutely secure place for that.

“Which place is suitable within the Chaotic Star River, without them catching me…??”

Lin Zhen pondered for a while and suddenly his eyes brightened. He had an idea!
