Chapter 394 Time is Running Out

"You mean that other dimension is connected to Earth?" Lin Yun asked in a deep voice.

Perhaps only in this way could this big boss solemnly say that if those people are in another dimension, the monitoring device he placed outside Earth really wouldn't be able to monitor them.

"As far as I know, thousands of years ago, it seems that due to changes in the world, those people collectively entered that other dimension. At first, some of them would come out frequently, but later, fewer and fewer of them came out, and the frequency of their appearances decreased. Eventually, they would come out about once every fifty years..." The middle-aged man nodded slightly and said.

"It comes out about once every fifty years?" Lin Yun frowned.

"It's more like they're coming down than coming out. Have you read Journey to the West? There's a Heavenly Court and a Celestial Realm there. They call that other dimension the Celestial Realm. When they come out, they're descending to the mortal world," the middle-aged man said with a smile.

"Do you know why some families, despite not being particularly powerful, can still intimidate a region? Is it because of the law? Is it because of their connections to the underworld? Not entirely! Rather, it's because someone from their family has entered that immortal realm. We don't know if they will return, or if they do, what kind of power they will have, or what kind of forces are behind them. Therefore, those families have a somewhat extraordinary influence on Earth!" The middle-aged man paused, then continued.

"The two families you wiped out, the Mo family and the Lu family, were such families. It is said that more than a hundred years ago, when those people came out, they brought members of the Mo and Lu families into the Immortal Realm!" The middle-aged man looked at Lin Yun deeply and said.

"More than a hundred years ago, someone from those two families entered the Immortal Realm?" Lin Yun's eyes narrowed slightly.

At this moment, he was certain that the big boss had not lied to him; that alternate dimension really existed. That alternate dimension, or perhaps the Immortal Realm, should be a very suitable space for cultivation, and there should be some powerful people there as well.

I just don't know how big that space is, how many powerful people there are, or what level the strongest among them has reached.

"How long has it been since those people came down last time? Have you seen them? How strong are they?" Lin Yun thought for a moment and asked.

“I have never seen those people. I only know that it has been about forty years since they last came down. Some of the Supreme Elders of the Heavenly Group have seen those people, and according to their judgment, their strength is at least at the Innate Realm.” The middle-aged man shook his head and said.

"At least at the Innate Realm?" Lin Yun frowned.

"Do you know why those Supreme Elders of the Heavenly Group are willing to go to any lengths to deal with you?" the middle-aged man asked, looking at Lin Yun.

"Why?" Lin Yun asked.

"Because those elders want to be able to go up with those people next time they come down. The Immortal Realm... it can overturn rivers and seas, split mountains and cleave the moon. Even if that's a bit of an exaggeration, the environment there should be better. Otherwise, those people wouldn't go back every time they come down. You should know that when a martial artist's realm improves, their lifespan can also increase. That's so tempting. Just for that reason alone, they want to go up!"

"However, according to the way those who came down selected those who went up, they were not qualified to go up. It is said that the Immortal Realm is for cultivating immortality, and they select people based on their talent for cultivating immortality, while our world is for cultivating martial arts..."

"Therefore, those elders of the Heavenly Group want to force their way up. They even plan to lead a group of martial artists up. This not only requires extremely strong strength, but also a powerful training facility to assist them in their training, allowing their strength to rapidly increase to a certain level!"

"Earth once acquired alien technology, which you should have already guessed. They've already benefited from that training equipment, so they want to obtain even better training aids from you!"

The middle-aged man spoke slowly.

"I see……"

Lin Yun suddenly realized why those innate experts from the Heavenly Group had suddenly become so ruthless in their attacks against him, even willing to sacrifice millions of people to pay for his death. Those people were already thinking of entering the Immortal Realm, and since they had already reached extremely high levels, they probably no longer cared about the lives of these mortals.

"Why are you telling me all this? Logically, shouldn't you observe me for a while first, make sure there's nothing wrong with me, and then tell me all this?" After a moment, Lin Yun looked intently at the middle-aged man and said.

"Do you know why those Supreme Elders of the Heavenly Group are so eager to deal with you? Actually, we could have used a gentler approach..." the middle-aged man said with a slight smile.

"Why?" Lin Yun asked.

“Because, time is running out…” the middle-aged man looked up at the sky and said.

“Since Earth acquired that alien civilization’s spaceship decades ago, our time has been running out. Earth’s development needs to change…” The middle-aged man paused, then turned to look at Lin Yun and continued.

“In recent years, through research on those technological items, countries around the world have discovered that the spaceship may have already sent back information. No one is sure when the forces behind it will arrive on Earth. Perhaps this is why those Supreme Elders of the Heavenly Group are so determined to go to that Immortal Realm!”

"That spaceship was damaged, but it was still extremely powerful. If it weren't for the various schemes and machinations of powerful figures from different countries, they would never have been able to acquire it..."

"It's hard to imagine how powerful the forces behind that spaceship are!"

"Humanity's strength must change, otherwise it will be difficult to cope with this crisis. Those immortals are unreliable; they don't care about the survival of humanity. Moreover, we don't know when they will come down or how long they can stay here. What if that force arrives before they come down, or what if they only stay for a short time before leaving? We will have to face this crisis on our own!"

"Furthermore, those people in the immortal realm cultivate immortality, while we on Earth develop technology. Our technological power is something many cultivation systems cannot achieve. By studying the various information left behind by that spaceship, we know that if the cultivation system and the technological system collide, various conflicts are very likely to arise. If those people in the immortal realm have any bad intentions towards humanity on Earth, it is beyond our control..."

The middle-aged man spoke slowly.

"Instead of doing that, let's place our hopes on you!" The middle-aged man turned around, looked at Lin Yun, and said with a faint smile.

“Very few people know the secrets of the Immortal Realm, but there are some who do. You have equipment that monitors the entire world. If you pay attention, it won’t be difficult for you to discover this matter. Rather than letting you find out on your own, I’d rather tell you now, wouldn’t you?” the middle-aged man continued.
