"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?"

"Before everything happened, there was a Dimensional Portal created in the Brahama Galaxy by a powerful influence from the 6th Ring of the Chaos Universe."

"Unlike the other Dimensional Portals in the 7th Ring of the Chaos Universe, this Dimensional Portal was the only one that worked after all this time. However, the key to operating it was destroyed and split into many pieces thousand of years ago."

"Many pieces of the key were found over the years by numerous influences. And so far there's only one left to complete it and it's the one in your hand." The Palace Lord explained as he was looking at Ling Chen with a serious expression.

Ling Chen already guessed why the Palace Lord was looking for the shard of the Dimensional Spatial Gateway's Key after hearing the story about the Abyssal invasion. He was just wanted to confirm it.

Furthermore, he always thought that the Leviathan Palace had all the remaining shards of the Dimensional Spatial Gateway's Key. However, it seemed like he was wrong.

"Then how many of the shards do you have?"Ling Chen suddenly asked.

"We only have three shards which are equal to three tickets." Answered the Palace Lord with a hint of worry in his voice.

"What do you mean the tree shards are equal to three tickets?"Ling Chen asked with a confused expression on his face.

"Well, according to the people from the Brahama Sect, the energy in the Dimensional Portal is enough for a one-way trip and the people that could be teleported at once are limited."

"As such, we come up with the idea that each shard was equal to one ticket. My Leviathan Palace has only three shards which means only three people from Leviathan Palace could use the Dimensional Portal."

"If there are some empty spots left after all the shards are found, then the owners will be decided through combat." Explained the Palace Lord.

"I see. Now that I have the last shard in my hand, what do you plan on doing?" Ling Chen suddenly asked after pondering for a while.

"The key is yours now and you can use to use the Dimensional Portal to travel to the 6th Ring of the Chaos Universe."

"As for me, I plan to inform the Brahama Sect and the other influences that the last shard has been found so we can fix the Dimensional Spatial Gateway's Key and leave this damn place as soon as possible."Said the Palace Lord with a hint of happiness in his voice.

Even though there was a great war going on in the 6th Ring of the Chaos Universe, and it was completely unsafe compared to the 7th Ring of the Chaos Universe, the Palace Lord didn't want to stay there.

Not only him but almost all the True God-Kings realm experts as most of them were at the end of their lifespan. Unless they entered the 6th Ring of the Chaos Universe, they would never be able to increase their lifespans by breaking through the next realm.

Furthermore, even though there was a great war in the 6th Ring of the Chaos Universe, there were also many opportunities as well.

"Litlle friend, if that's fine with you, you can stay in my Leviathan Palace as a guest for a while. In the meantime, I will go inform the other influence about this good news." Said the Palace Lord with an amiable smile on his face.

"Sure, thank you in advance for the hospitality."Ling Chen nonchalantly answered with a mysterious smile on his face.
