Chapter 395: Eternity
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Considering the barrenness of the Source Essence Layer and the toughness of the soil layer, there was indeed nothing for Lu Ming and others to destroy.
Their purpose was also not to cause destruction.
What they wanted was simply to find a way out, to escape from this desperate situation, and to find a possibility for survival.
Immediately after the battle with Rael had ended, Lu Ming began to work on hiding.
First, he withdrew from the battlefield and eliminated all traces that could be traced.
Then, Lu Ming chose an abandoned settlement and turned it into his secret base.
Using giant stones as raw materials, he set up a maze array in the abandoned settlement. After three consecutive days without any incidents, Lu Ming finally confirmed that his maze array had achieved the desired effect.
At least for a short period, he had isolated the tracking of the Stellar Tribe.
As for the rest, he could only wait.
Lu Ming was unaware that the Stellar Tribe had never really considered them a threat.
The more important task before Marcus was to recall Eternity—after all, in most situations, the destructive power of an insider was much greater than that of an external enemy.
The surface layer.
Entrance of the Ten Thousand Devil Abyss.
Vicky, who had been waiting for Lu Ming and the others for many days, suddenly frowned.
In the distance, a familiar aura flashed and when it appeared again, it was already next to him.
Sensing that familiar aura standing beside him, Vicky sighed deeply in his heart. He quickly stood up and looked to his side.
“Lord Eternity.”
He placed his right hand on his chest, slightly bowing to show respect. The corner of his eye swept over the man who was honored as the Eternal God.
He had soft and beautiful facial features, resembling an elegant young man. Despite his slender figure, he did not look emaciated. He was dressed in white clothes, exuding an ethereal aura.
There was a hint of deep and indescribable emotions in those beautiful eyes, as if he had a lot on his mind.
The next words from Eternity made Vicky slowly lower his head, not daring to look at Eternity anymore.
“You’ve been here for about a month, right?”
Vicky wanted to say it had not been a month, but after thinking about it, he chose not to argue and just nodded silently.
Eternity then asked, “Is it because you found something interesting or someone interesting?”
Vicky did not know how to answer, so he remained silent.
Seeing Wiki in this state, Eternity shook his head slightly and said, “You’re always like this, full of thoughts, always wanting to have your little secret. But you don’t know that your little secret means nothing to me…”
Vicky’s face turned pale, with a hint of anger, but in front of Eternity, Vicky dared not express his inner anger.
He just listened as Eternity continued, “Forget it, 1 won’t delve into your little secrets. I came this time because I want to make a trip to the Source Essence Layer.”
After saying this, Eternity turned his head and looked directly at Vicky.
He extended an invitation, “Do you want to come along?”
Vicky hesitated for a long time and said, “Can I go?”
“Of course you can… After all, although you’re not a member of the Stellar Tribe, you’re still my selected non-staff member for the external combat command. You naturally have the qualifications to go to the Source Essence Layer.”
Vicky wanted to ask if it was okay for him not to go.
However, after thinking about it, he chose not to ask this question.
He nodded gently and saw that Eternity had already walked into the Ten Thousand Devil Abyss.
A voice entered Vicky’s ears.
“Stay close to me.”
Vicky was not a member of the Stellar Tribe.
He was chosen by Eternity several epochs ago.
It was unclear whether it was because Eternity was too lonely or for some other reason. In any case, he chose Vicky as his deputy and also protected Vicky through several harvest periods.
The more he interacted with Eternity, the more Vicky could sense the mystery of Eternity and the greatness of the Stellar Tribe behind him.
But correspondingly, due to his background, Vicky always felt a thin film separating him from Eternity and those Stellar Tribe members he had never met.
It was precisely because of the existence of this thin film that Vicky had always been unable to trust Eternity and the Stellar Tribe wholeheartedly. He had also been unable to access more and larger secrets.
Without Eternity;s guidance, Wicky could not even enter the Dead Sea… Following Eternity all the way, the two of them soon entered the Dead Sea. Penetrating a soap bubble-like thin film, countless strange beings swam around them.
But with Eternity by his side, these anomalies did not go crazy and attack Vicky. They treated the two as nothingness.
Soon, as energy vibrated from Eternity’s body, a whale-type Harvester drove over from afar and finally stopped in front of the two of them.
“Go up.”
After Eternity spoke, he was the first to stand on the head of the whale-form.
Vicky also stood on it like he had learned. As the whale-form began to activate, the two of them walked towards a nest at an extremely fast speed.
Their path was no different from Lu Ming and the others.
They were all Ten Thousand Devil Abyss, Dead Sea, Nest, and Passageway before arriving at the Source Essence Layer.
However, his speed was much faster than Lu Ming and the others.
The journey took Eternity and Vicky about four hours.
When the two of them passed through the white light passageway and stood still again, they had already arrived at the desolate Source Essence Layer.
Vicky had long heard of the name of the Source Essence Layer.
However, now he finally saw it, it was not as good as hearing about it.
The concentration of Source Power was not bad, but it was limited to —beyond this, there were no remarkable aspects.
The presence of the upper and lower layers made this place exceptionally oppressive, and the desolate scene in sight left Vicky unsure of how to evaluate this place.
He could only stand in silence beside Eternity, who also stood still, quietly waiting.
After probably a few more hours, just when Vicky felt he could not bear the wait any longer, the ground ahead suddenly shook. Following that, a Hunter emerged from the soil, coming before the two.
“Your Excellency Eternity, you’re finally back.”
The newcomer spoke, and Eternity nodded, saying, “Yes, I’m back to report…” With that, Eternity smiled and said, “If I didn’t come back, Marcus would have executed Protocol 13 against me.”
At this moment, Eternity smiled as if he was joking. However, Vicky, who was extremely familiar with Eternity, could hear a different nuance in Eternity’s words.
The star spirit within the Hunter’s body, however, could not discern as much.

He just smiled and said, “Lord Marcus is just joking… Yes, that’s right. He’s just joking…”
After saying that, he quickly changed the subject.
“Please follow me. Lord Marcus is already waiting for you at Base 3.”
A gap opened in the Hunter’s body, resembling a car door being opened.
Eternity and Vicky boarded the Hunter one after the other. The Hunter then carried the few of them, moving underground in the direction of Base 3..
