The Era of Gods-Chapter 687: Void Pursuit

```

Jacob and the other Children of the Spirit Realm had somehow escaped, and Lin Xiao, moving through the Void at incredible speed, had spent over two months without a sight of them.

Had it not been for the lingering traces they left behind, which remained constant, he would have thought he was chasing in the wrong direction.

The Void was boundless, with worlds of varying sizes floating like islands upon the endless sea of the Void, and the sea was filled with Void Creatures swimming about like fish.

In the Wizard World, those with strength at the late or peak Rank 8 were the strongest aside from the ancestors. There were many powerful Void Creatures in the Void, but basically none of the Void Monsters or Evil Beings could pose a threat to him. In fact, as his colossal form passed by, Void Creatures within tens of thousands of kilometers would change color at the smell and quickly flee.

Half a year later, Lin Xiao sensed that the faint breath from the traces ahead was starting to appear; his spirits lifted, indicating he was closing in. They weren’t far from him, and the traces still held lingering breaths that hadn’t yet dissipated.

However, it seemed these Children of the Spirit Realm had a way to sense him. When they were fairly close, they would use a special method to teleport directly through the Void, covering extremely vast distances at once, causing the traces to become dim and lifeless instantly.

Lin Xiao had no counter for this. Having reached such a level of strength, especially as a mighty being who followed the path of condensing his True Body, the usual methods of teleportation were no longer capable of transporting their massive True Bodies and energy over great distances.

The Wizard World might have such methods of teleportation, but he was unaware of them and could only continue the chase at a slower pace.

The Void was limitless, and without realizing it, twenty years had passed. Lin Xiao didn’t even know how far he had roamed in the Void, as he could no longer sense the existence of the Wizard World where he was born. He only knew one direction in his heart, a mark eternally branded deep in his soul, which would allow him to return to his birth world within the Crystal Wall Universe, regardless of the distance.

"Uh?"

As he voyaged through the Void, Lin Xiao suddenly sensed a unique signal, like a broadcast incessantly sending out a repetitive message to the surroundings.

Over the years, he must have received hundreds of thousands of signals while traversing the Void, but this particular one drew his immediate attention because it was a signal sent by a Child of the Human Divine Realm into the Void. That meant somewhere nearby in this piece of the Void, a Child of the Human Divine Realm was continually sending out signals.

The content of the signal was brief and to the point, suggesting that a considerable number of Children of the Human Divine Realm were congregating here. If there were any in the neighboring worlds of the Void, they could gather in this world once they had accrued a certain level of strength, among other details.

This greatly surprised and excited Lin Xiao. After so long and several world transitions, aside from the Children of the Spirit Realm, he had never encountered other Descenders.

He immediately noted the signal and the coordinates it indicated, planning to return and check it out after he caught up with the group of Spirit Realm Children.

However, he soon discovered that the direction the Spirit Realm Children were headed coincided precisely with the coordinates he had noted; both were in the same direction. Moreover, as he gradually caught up, he found that the breath remaining in the marks they left was growing stronger and, unlike before, they weren’t suddenly teleporting long distances to shake him off.

There was only one possibility—they too were nearing their destination, so there was no need to flee.

Lin Xiao paused in the Void, pondered for a moment, and began to conserve his strength.

His massive True Body, towering over eight thousand meters high, rapidly shrank to a normal human form, transforming into a three-meter-tall, bald, muscular man, and he flew towards the coordinates not far away.

As he passed through layers of Void Energy and the Void Storm gradually calmed, a gray sphere hanging in the Void soon came into view, and the continuous signal was coming from this world.

From a distance, Lin Xiao was extremely surprised to observe this gray sphere.

On distant observation, this gray sphere was just a small world, not much different from the Crow World in size and energy strength. Both the group of Spirit Realm Children and the now increasingly clear signal seemed to be headed here.

"That’s hardly possible!"

Lin Xiao stroked his chin with some doubt and surprise, not daring to enter the world because of this abnormal situation.

It all seemed like a trap. He speculated that maybe the Spirit Realm Children were deliberately simulating a signal of a Human Descender to attract people like him into this world, and then be ambushed.

However, his immense strength gave him the confidence to take the risk. With his current power, unless an ancestor personally took action, or a group of Rank 8 powerhouses ambushed him, no one could kill him.

Arriving quickly at the edge of the Crystal Wall of this gray world, Lin Xiao extended a finger and lightly drew across it, tearing a small slit in the Crystal Wall. A rich scent of Death Qi rushed forth, quickly dissolved by the surrounding Void Energy.

"A world of death?"

Lin Xiao was somewhat surprised; peering through the crack, he saw the world inside was filled with rich Death Qi. A cursory sweep of his Divine Thoughts detected no signs of life, not even the world’s will. He tried sticking his finger in, and there was no reaction.

Entering most worlds openly with his current strength would normally trigger instinctive rejection from the world’s will, but this world had none.

Since there was no world’s will, naturally, there was no rejection. Lin Xiao thought for a moment, then widened the tear in the Crystal Wall and entered.

As soon as he entered, his eyes were met with a vast expanse of Death Qi. His powerful Divine Thoughts swept in all directions, Lin Xiao looked surprised, a trace of the unexpected showing on his face.

```

In this world, which wasn’t very large, his Divine Thoughts casually swept across and detected living creatures other than the Undead throughout the world.

There were two groups, one being the familiar Children of the Spirit Realm, and the other a large group of Humans mixed with several Human Descenders situated at the other end of the world.

He was about to clean up Julian and the other Children of the Spirit Realm first, but in the next second, strong spatial fluctuations came from that side, and the presence of a group of people vanished into thin air.

"They really know how to run!"

By now, Lin Xiao wasn’t in a hurry. If he wasn’t mistaken, this small world should be a vassal world of some powerful world. The presence of both the Children of the Spirit Realm and the Sons of the Human Divine Realm in one world clearly indicated that both Humans and the Soul Race coexist in that powerful world.

The ultimate goal of Jacob and the other fleeing members of the Soul Race was probably this world, so there was no rush. It was better to meet up with the Human Descenders first.

Half an hour later, a tall figure in a black robe appeared not far from the Black Stone Fortress, at the edge of the Bone Wasteland on the Black Stone Highlands.

Lin Xiao looked up at the giant Black Stone Fortress built upon the highlands, as a Death Qi fog gathered in the ditches by the road. A gaunt skeleton, skin clinging to its bones, emerged, with a flickering blue Soul Fire in its hollow eye sockets, silently gliding toward the figure in the black robe.

As the skeleton got close to the figure in the black robe, it was suddenly swept over by an invisible ripple, shook violently, and turned into a cloud of black dust scattered on the ground, with a hint of essence also dispersing with the dust.

Lin Xiao didn’t even care about this Undead creature shattered by his protective force field; his mind was fixated on the fortress above.

A strong sensation in his exploration revealed that the vast fortress was protected by a huge Witchcraft Formation. It housed tens of thousands of Humans and other races, with about a dozen Human Descenders among them.

Through his perception, he found that the behavior of these Human Descenders was radically different from that of the natives, and they seemed to have already regained their memories.

In the previous incidents in the Wizard World, the Spirit Clan Descenders were able to recover memories suppressed by the Wizard World because the Spirit Clan’s True Dark Ancestor used his authority to lift the suppression. But as far as Lin Xiao knew, there were no ancestors of such power for Humans in the Wizard World, so how could so many of them have regained their memories?

Stroking his chin, Lin Xiao walked toward the fortress.

The Death Qi surged as a tall figure in a black robe emerged from the darkness, immediately drawing the attention of the city guard on the wall. An archer subconsciously picked up the bow at hand and skillfully pulled out an arrow from the quiver hanging on the city wall, drew it back fully, and shot the arrow out.

"Bang!"

The arrow shattered to dust before even reaching the figure in the black robe. The archer paused and then looked surprised, shouting to a companion nearby,

"There’s a big one, sound the alarm!"

"Ding ding! Ding ding!"

A bed crossbow nearby began adjusting its angle to aim below the city walls, and a dozen soldiers who were close by drew their weapons and moved closer while several rolled up their sleeves and began lifting large stones from the corner of the wall.

"Wait!"

An Official Wizard who had heard the news and came to have a look stopped the imminent crossbow arrow shot from his subordinates and commanded loudly,

"Do not attack, it’s not a Devil!"

The figure in the black robe walked up to the towering city gate and lifted his head, pulling down his hood to reveal a shiny bald head.

"It’s a Human, lower the basket!"

Five minutes later, Lin Xiao sat in the basket and was hoisted up to the city wall. Three Wizards who had heard the news conducted a thorough check on him, confirmed he was a Human, and moreover, a powerful Wizard, their attitude immediately warmed up.

He didn’t offer any excuses, simply stating he had drifted over from another world.

This situation was quite common; every world had spatial cracks leading to other worlds, and occasionally temporary spatial cracks would form due to changes in the world, with Wizards occasionally entering other worlds both passively and actively. His explanation was quite normal.

For the guards of the Black Stone Fortress, anything but Undead Devils wasn’t an issue.

Once inside the fortress and standing in the square by the city gate, he soon saw a middle-aged man accompanied by one man and one woman, a total of three Human Descendants, hurrying over towards him.

As soon as he had entered the fortress, he activated a small witchcraft attached to the signal he had received earlier, signaling to the Human Descendants stationed within the fortress that one of their kind had arrived.

From afar, Wang Wenchang saw the tall figure standing in the square, the familiar aura confirming that it was indeed a Human Descender who had come to this world, and one who had already recovered their memory at that.
