Nexus Ascension: My Comprehension Defies the Heaven

Chapter 534: Lin Fang Found, The Multi-Colored Tree Bark

Grey and Alissa immediately rushed to the coordinates that Alan provided.

They arrived at a magical forest filled with impossibly thick, towering trees.

”He is hiding inside the tree bark,” Alan said while pointing at one of the massive trunks.

”It is not a bad method. Since it is part of this world, his aura will mix with it, making it much harder to track him.”

”This kid is pretty smart,” he added.

Grey nodded and stepped forward. With a casual flick of his hand, the thick bark shattered into pieces.

”AHHHH! Myriad Solar Pulse Technique!” Lin Fang screamed in panic. Seeing the sudden light of the world hitting his face, he blindly unleashed a searing solar beam straight toward Grey.

However, Grey simply dodged it with zero effort.

”Do not take me away. I am just a normal guy with nothing to my name!” Lin Fang cried out.

Everyone looked at him, completely speechless.

Grey then gestured toward the Spirit Ancestor, Aerin, and Alan.

”I want to speak with him alone. You guys stay put.”

Grey waved his hand, and the surrounding space violently distorted. The following moment, an isolated sub-dimension formed within this magical world, enclosing him, Alissa, and Lin Fang. This was the very first sub-dimension ever created in this specific world, as no being had ever stepped foot in here possessing both a deep comprehension of the Law of Space and seventh rank strength.

Manipulating this world was a walk in the park for him now.

”It is you, Brother Grey,” Lin Fang said, smiling embarrassingly as he lowered his glowing hands. ”Fancy meeting you here. How did you find me?”

”I just found my way here randomly,” Grey replied with a deadpan look on his face.

”You do realize that you almost put the entire endless reality in danger by getting noticed by a Paragon, right?”

”...” Lin Fang’s lips twitched upon hearing this.

”What can I do? I am only one man. I am not as powerful as you, Brother Grey,” Lin Fang said while letting out a long sigh.

”Also, it has been a while, Alissa.” Lin Fang politely smiled at Alissa, only to earn an indifferent, frosty stare in return.

”Anyways. What happened to the Paragon, Brother Grey? How come you are here and he is not?”

”He killed him,” Alissa spoke up softly. ”He eliminated the Paragon.”

”How did you overcome Ascendancy Power?” Lin Fang was completely taken aback.

”I used the power of friendship,” Grey replied while blinking innocently.

”The power of what now?” Lin Fang replied with a baffled look on his face.

”Okay. Enough questions asked.” Grey stared at Lin Fang up and down. ”How did you reach this place?”

”Well...” Lin Fang wore a conflicted expression. ”It is not something I can show to everyone. Are you sure that we can have Alissa here with us?”

”Why not?” Grey tilted his head. ”She is with me. She will not say anything to the others.”

Lin Fang nodded upon hearing this. He reached into his inventory and took out a strange piece of bark radiating a multi-colored light.

”What is this?” Grey inquired curiously.

”Hey, hey, Perfect One. It is me, the World Tree’s Consciousness! Little Tree for short!”

Grey looked at the glowing bark in surprise. ”Are you the main consciousness?”

”Not the main consciousness. I am the localized consciousness of the World Tree of this specific universe. But the main consciousness had already relayed the memories of its meeting with you.”

”I was always aware of your existence and knew you had the capable power to overpower Ascendancy Power. But seeing it in action truly exceeded my expectations.”

”Can you see into the Creator Space?” Grey asked in a curious tone.

”I can,” the Tree replied from the multi-colored bark. ”I am rooted deep into this universe, after all. I was naturally able to sense the newfound power you have forged.”

”So, how did Lin Fang end up here then? Did you open a portal for him?”

”No. He was running away from Shroud Heaven when I chanced upon him. Sensing the Earth Transmigrator Aura and the Paragon Aura clashing, I was sure that if I did not help out here, the entire endless reality might be doomed.”

”I used up a vast amount of power to bring him here into the Elf Alliance territory, skipping through random planets just to keep the Paragon on his toes.”

”Could you not just bring him to my planet?”

”I cannot,” the World Tree spoke. ”The Origin Will suppresses me in the areas outside the Elf Alliance, and the Paragon had placed a restrictive jamming spell on me. It made me unable to converse with others until now. He did so to prevent others from coming to Lin Fang’s rescue. That is also why I was unable to warn you or the Spirit Ancestor before you both entered this world. In fact, I could only pray that you, bearing the Heavenly Mandate, would enter this domain. It seems like it all worked out in the end.”

That made sense. This matter could have easily been solved by speaking with the Spirit Ancestor who worked for Helios. The Helios organization would not stay idle while a Paragon hunted down a fellow Earth transmigrator after all.

”It also makes sense why the main consciousness did not warn me about you. You could not relay the message to the main consciousness either, could you?”

”Nope,” the Tree replied cheerfully.

”It is good that everyone is safe now,” Grey replied.

Then, a familiar mechanical voice chimed in. It was the Golden Finger Grey was well acquainted with.

[It has been a while, Lord Grey. Greetings to you.]

”Yo. How have you been, Golden Finger? How is leeching off Lin Fang working out for you?” Grey asked with a teasing grin.

[It seems like you are already fully aware of the inner workings of the Golden Finger Race, Lord Grey. I expected nothing less from you.] The system spoke, not sounding surprised in the slightest.

[Lin Fang and I have been doing well. After the spatial aurora took us away, we chanced upon the Demi-Human Alliance. There are plenty of protagonist-level fated beings residing there. Through our efforts, Lin Fang managed to successfully reach the Level 5 System authority.]
