Chapter 215: Shocking Rankings (Seeking Subscriptions)
In a trance,
Red Kun Main Star, thirteen mountain peaks.
In the depths of the great hall, Lin Yuan slowly opened his eyes.
"Six hundred years, just a blink of an eye."
Lin Yuan's gaze revealed ripples as memories of scenes in the Cyan World flashed through his mind, finally returning to calm.
For someone like the Red Kun Star Master, who had lived for hundreds of thousands of years, six hundred years might be nothing more than a nap. Even in the eyes of the significantly younger senior brothers, it might only be the time to close and practice a secret technique?
However, for Lin Yuan, it was a considerable period, especially considering the previous time spent traveling. Six hundred years accounted for a significant portion of the overall time.
"Ah."
Lin Yuan looked around.
"The world has changed."
Lin Yuan's gaze was calm.
After comprehending over a thousand core spatial models,
Lin Yuan could see countless ripples caused by the fluctuations of spatial forces wherever his gaze reached.
If the Cyan World were a small pond, Lin Yuan could trace the source of every 'ripple' and see the end. He had complete control.
On the other hand, the cosmic expanse of the main world resembled a vast ocean. Any spatial 'ripple' could spread and affect extremely distant places. Even with Lin Yuan's concentrated observation, he could only see a small segment of the fluctuations.
"The perception varies with the size of the world."
Lin Yuan contemplated, visibly sensing the removal of many of the bottlenecks he faced when comprehending the core spatial models after returning to the main world.
"Let's not worry about this for now."
"Let's check the connection between the Door to the Myriad Realms and the Cyan World."
Lin Yuan focused his thoughts, sinking his mind into his consciousness, looking towards the majestic Door to the Myriad Realms.
In the last two hundred years, Lin Yuan gave up everything and invested all his energy in creating the method to replace the world consciousness.
This behavior was not merely to control the Cyan World. With the strength of the Ancestral Demon Tree as the initial foundation, who would dare to resist Lin Yuan's will?
Lin Yuan's true purpose was to transform the Cyan World into a garden and then have thoughts beyond the boundless outer void.
Hum.
Lin Yuan carefully observed the area beneath the Door to the Myriad Realms.
After the formation of the coordinates for the first six worlds, a faint seventh world coordinate imprint appeared.
It was the world coordinate of the Cyan World.
Lin Yuan focused on the Cyan World coordinates, and bits of information began to flow into his mind.
"As expected."
"Now, choosing to descend into the Cyan World only consumes one-third of the Breakthrough Source Power?"
Lin Yuan felt delighted.
Like precise landings in a world using world coordinates, the consumption of Breakthrough Source Power is usually ten strands. But now, it's only one-third, indicating that the Cyan World no longer resists Lin Yuan's consciousness. It even actively accepts it, greatly saving Breakthrough Source Power consumption.
"One-third of Breakthrough Source Power, that's just over ninety days in the main world."
Lin Yuan smiled.
Under normal accumulation, the Door to the Myriad Realms takes three hundred and thirty-three days to gather one strand of Breakthrough Source Power. With the permanent spatial crack, it only takes two hundred and ninety days.
"Also, through the world coordinates on the Door to the Myriad Realms, I can vaguely receive various information from the Ancestral Demon Tree?"
Lin Yuan suddenly realized something.
Now, the Ancestral Demon Tree had become the new world consciousness of the Cyan World, the 'Heavenly Dao.' The Ancestral Demon Tree was just Lin Yuan's vessel, similar to a clone. In theory, the two should share consciousness and memories.
However,
Due to the vast void where the main world and the Cyan World were located, they were too far apart, not in the same dimension, with even different time flow rates.
So, the perceptual connection between Lin Yuan and the Ancestral Demon Tree was completely severed.
But through the Door to the Myriad Realms, the two managed to establish a faint link?
"I didn't expect the Door to the Myriad Realms to have this use?"
Lin Yuan smiled. Through this faint connection, Lin Yuan roughly understood the state of the Cyan World. Choosing a node to descend would be more precise.
Even though the current consumption for descending into the Cyan World was only one-third of Breakthrough Source Power, even if it were one-tenth, it's still Breakthrough Source Power and couldn't be casually consumed.
After confirming the connection with the Cyan World,
Lin Yuan turned his attention to himself.
"Let's take a look inside my body's world?"
Lin Yuan's thoughts shifted, and his consciousness entered the world inside his body.
Before the sixth transmigration, Lin Yuan's internal world was only ten miles in circumference.
However,
Accompanied by Lin Yuan's consciousness descending,
Many comprehensions of spatial rules merged.
Boom.
The world inside his body underwent a tremendous change.
Countless spatial forces gathered at the edge of the world, causing spatial fluctuations, and the world's limits rapidly increased.
Resulting in...
Lin Yuan once again fell into a kind of frenzied hunger.
When entering the seventh realm and opening up the world inside his body, Lin Yuan had this kind of feeling. However, back then, he had ample Scarlet Spirit Fluid, so opening up the internal world was exceptionally smooth.
But now,
"Wait a moment, wait a moment."
Lin Yuan hurriedly suppressed the expansion of the world inside his body. With his current comprehension of spatial rules, the ultimate limit of the internal world would be at least ten thousand miles in diameter.
Expanding from ten miles to over ten thousand miles is not a simple thousandfold increase; the energy demand is terrifying.
If Lin Yuan didn't suppress it, he might be sucked dry.
"Actively suppressing the expansion of the internal world; this kind of behavior is rare in the history of human civilization, isn't it?"
Lin Yuan shook his head slightly.
Generally, the expansion of a Tier 8 Evolutionist's internal world is gradual and depends on the comprehension of spatial rules. Comprehending spatial rules, especially core spatial models, doesn't have a sudden breakthrough but a slow improvement.
In this way, the expansion of the internal world can be achieved by naturally absorbing external energy.
As for someone like Lin Yuan, who comprehended over a thousand core spatial models in an instant, this span and magnitude were so extreme that few Tier 8 Evolutionists would believe it if it were mentioned.
"Apply for Scarlet Spirit Fluid."
Lin Yuan immediately connected to the virtual network and began to apply for Scarlet Spirit Fluid in large quantities.
"It may take a few days."
After completing the application, Lin Yuan thought to himself.
If it were just a regular portion of Scarlet Spirit Fluid, Lin Yuan could probably have it delivered within half an hour. After all, he was currently on the Red Kun Main Star.
But the quantity Lin Yuan applied for was too massive, tens of thousands of times the amount applied for when breaking through to Tier 7.
"Path of Martial Evolution - Tier 7."
While waiting for the Scarlet Spirit Fluid, Lin Yuan began to review the Tier 7 section.
After hundreds of years of continuous improvement through the sixth transmigration, the Tier 7 section of the Martial Evolution Path had basically taken shape.
Now, all Lin Yuan needed to do was make some slight modifications based on the physique of many evolutionists in human civilization.
Lin Yuan even felt that he didn't need to make these adjustments. He had already considered them during his time in the Cyan World.
Half a day later,
Lin Yuan packaged the neatly organized Tier 7 section and uploaded it to the Wisdom Goddess.
"Respected Level 6 Citizen Lin Yuan, the Tier 7 section you uploaded is under evaluation. Please wait."
The solemn and cold voice of the Wisdom Goddess echoed.
At the same time,
On a mysterious planet far from the Red Kun Main Star,
Numerous giant screens flickered wildly, beginning to deduce the potential and details of the Martial Evolution Path's Tier 7 section.
"Detected that 'Tier 7 Section' involves multiple paths. As popularization increases, detected that 'Tier 7 Section' has a few paths that may open up the internal world. The evaluation of the Martial Evolution Path is being re-evaluated."
"Found that 'Tier 7 Section' significantly enhances adaptability to various extreme environments, with a probability of achieving unparalleled mastery. The overall evaluation of the Martial Evolution Path has risen."
"After evaluation, the possibility of the Martial Evolution Path advancing to Tier 8 Evolution Path has reached seventy percent, and the possibility of advancing to Tier 9 Evolution Path has reached thirty percent."
"Activate the Core Plan of Human Civilization, contact the Goddesses of Liberty and Justice."
"After confirmation by the three Goddesses, the evaluation of the Tier 7 section of the Martial Evolution Path remains unchanged."
"Start evaluating the value of the Tier 7 section."
"After evaluation, the value of the Martial Evolution Path's Tier 7 section is three million merits, and the protective measures for the founder of this evolutionary path have been increased."
Lin Yuan patiently waited for the evaluation from the Wisdom Goddess.
"Is it taking so long?"
Lin Yuan was slightly surprised. The longest wait time after previous uploads was the comprehensive change to the Martial Path, making it no longer confined to the Yin-Yang Tai Chi.
But this time, the waiting time for uploading the Tier 7 section had already exceeded that one by a considerable margin.
"Wait patiently."
"The longer the wait, the higher the value."
Lin Yuan didn't mind; time was what he had the most now.
"With my current realm, restoring full strength would place me at the pinnacle of Tier 7 King."
"At that time, my goal will be to break through to Tier 8."
Lin Yuan thought to himself.
Opening the internal world, the most challenging step to break through to Tier 8, had long been completed by Lin Yuan.
What Lin Yuan needed to focus on now was improving his willpower and mental strength to face the Heart Demon Tribulation.
However, there was no specific method to pass the Heart Demon Tribulation. Currently, the common means among the Human Alliance to pass the Heart Demon Tribulation was simply to live long enough.
Accumulating over long ages, even a pig, as long as it hadn't died, wouldn't have a weak mental will.
"Next time I transmigrate, I can try to undergo the Heart Demon Tribulation. If it doesn't work, I'll actively end the transmigration and return to the main world."
Lin Yuan silently thought. This was his 'clever' method.
Utilizing the transmigration ability of the World Gate to make the 'Heart Demon' lose its target.
But whether it would work, Lin Yuan wasn't sure; he didn't know what kind of existence the Heart Demon was. Was it from the outside? Or was it from within himself?
If it was from within himself, then this 'clever' method might not be very effective.
"I'll deal with it when the time comes."
"In fact, I haven't lived for a short time. Adding the time spent transmigrating between worlds, it's been over a thousand years."
Lin Yuan was contemplating when the solemn and cold voice of the Wisdom Goddess came.
"Respected Level 6 Citizen Lin Yuan, the Martial Evolution Path Tier 7 section you uploaded has completed the assessment."
"Oh? How many merit points is it worth?" Lin Yuan curiously asked.
Through this waiting time, Lin Yuan judged that the Tier 7 section's value was very high.
However, the exact value could only be determined by the three Goddesses.
"Respected Level 6 Citizen Lin Yuan, the Martial Arts Tier 7 section you uploaded is worth three million merit points."
The Wisdom Goddess replied.
"Three million merit points!"
Lin Yuan was surprised; he originally thought it would be at most one million merit points or close to two million merit points.
Unexpectedly, it was three million merit points.
Three million merit points, placed on an alien battlefield, meant the lives of three Tier 8 aliens, or even the kind that could annihilate the main body.
In addition, on the alien battlefield, it was extremely difficult to kill Tier 8 aliens. Most of the Tier 8 aliens swallowed by the Red Kun Star Master were basically avatars. As for the main body, it had long escaped who knows how far.
Furthermore, Tier 8 aliens, equivalent to Tier 8 evolutionists on the human side, held a high position of authority. They could apply to the three Goddesses, command a star field, and be regarded as kings and ancestors.
"Not bad, not bad."
Lin Yuan nodded slightly. The Wisdom Goddess's high appraisal of the Tier 7 section indicated its considerable potential, and it was undoubtedly a recognition of Lin Yuan.
"Let's take a look at the specific information on the current Martial Evolution Path."
Lin Yuan opened his personal panel, found the Martial Evolution Path section, an option visible only to the founder of a particular evolutionary path.
"The Martial Evolution Path is currently a Tier 7 evolutionary path, with a 70% chance of advancing to a Tier 8 evolutionary path."
Lin Yuan couldn't help but be amazed.
A 70% chance of advancing to a Tier 8 evolutionary path practically meant that, as long as Lin Yuan didn't die, he would essentially be a future evolutionary scholar.
The conditions for becoming an evolutionary scholar in the Human Civilization Alliance were to establish a complete, stable, and entirely new Tier 8 evolutionary path.
Although it was just an evolutionary path, the numerous evolutionary theories involved were vast and profound. Being able to create a Tier 8 evolutionary path undoubtedly demonstrated extreme depth in various aspects of the evolutionary field.
Becoming a Tier 8 evolutionist might involve some lucky chance, like obtaining a rare treasure that could assist in opening the internal world.
However, becoming an evolutionary scholar had no room for luck; it was entirely based on personal strength.
In the Red Kun Star Region, since its inception over a million years ago, only three evolutionary scholars had emerged.
In comparison, the number of Tier 8 evolutionists was hundreds or even thousands of times greater.
"A 30% chance of advancing to a Tier 9 evolutionary path?"
Lin Yuan's expression slightly condensed. This was the first time he had seen such an evaluation. Before this, the upper limit of the Martial Evolution Path was Tier 8.
"A Tier 9 evolutionary path."
Lin Yuan's thoughts fluctuated. So far, Lin Yuan had no clue about the Tier 9 section of the Martial Evolution Path.
However, since the three Goddesses affirmed that the current Martial Evolution Path had the potential to advance to Tier 9, it meant that Lin Yuan's current path was correct; otherwise, there would be no possibility of advancing to a Tier 9 evolutionary path.
"There's something else."
"Now, where does the Martial Evolution Path rank on the Red Kun Evolution Ranking?"
Lin Yuan seemed to think of something and immediately opened the 'Ranking' section.
"The Martial Evolution Path is ranked first on the Canglan Evolution Ranking and the Red Kun Evolution Ranking."
Lin Yuan's expression changed slightly, showing a hint of surprise.
(End of this chapter)
Chapter 216: Red Kun Star Lord: Disciple, why is your internal world so vast? (Seeking Subscriptions)
When Lin Yuan previously uploaded the Martial Path Tier 6 section, the Martial Evolution Path was ranked sixth on the Red Kun Evolution Ranking.
This was already quite remarkable. It's worth noting that only extremely powerful Tier 7 evolutionary paths could make it onto the Red Kun Evolution Ranking. The top three paths even reached Tier 8, originating from the three Evolutionary Scholars born in the Red Kun Star Region.
For millions of years, these three Tier 8 evolutionary paths had influenced countless evolutionists in the Red Kun Star Region. Therefore, the fact that the Martial Evolution Path could secure the sixth position on the Red Kun Evolution Ranking as a Tier 6 evolutionary path left many astonished.
A Tier 6 evolutionary path breaking into the top ten dominated by elite Tier 7 paths?
With the current upload of the Tier 7 section, Lin Yuan speculated that the Martial Evolution Path's ranking might reach fifth or, optimistically, fourth place. Whether it was fourth or fifth, the Martial Evolution Path would qualify as the strongest among the many Tier 7 evolutionary paths in the Red Kun Star Region.
However, when Lin Yuan finally saw the ranking of the Martial Evolution Path, he was somewhat surprised.
"Ranked second on the Red Kun Evolution Ranking."
This was the latest assessment from the Wisdom Goddess regarding the Martial Evolution Path.
Ranked second on the Red Kun Evolution Ranking, surpassing two Tier 8 evolutionary paths.
"This too."
Lin Yuan shook his head slightly. He had expected the Martial Evolution Path's ranking to rise but didn't anticipate it to jump directly to the second position.
Even Lin Yuan found it somewhat frightening.
Although in Lin Yuan's mind, advancing the Martial Evolution Path to a Tier 8 evolutionary path wasn't a difficult task, it was just a matter of systematically comprehending the Dao. However, the three Goddesses, including the Wisdom Goddess, were unaware of this. In their judgment, the likelihood of the Martial Evolution Path advancing to a Tier 8 evolutionary path was only 70%.
But a Dao evolutionary path with only a 70% chance of advancing managed to suppress two paths that were already Tier 8 evolutionary paths.
It was simply inconceivable.
"What could be the reason?"
Lin Yuan pondered.
The most crucial aspect of the Martial Evolution Path's Tier 7 section was the opening of the internal world, mastering the method of creating boundaries. However, even Tier 8 evolutionary paths possessed such means, and to advance to Tier 8, mastery of this method was essential.
On the other hand, not all evolutionists could open their internal worlds with the Tier 7 section of the Martial Evolution Path.
"I don't know."
Lin Yuan was also unsure of how the three Goddesses made their judgment. But given the circumstances, it indicated that in the eyes of the three Goddesses, the Martial Evolution Path held a higher status than ordinary Tier 8 evolutionary paths.
In the virtual world of the Red Kun Star Lord.
Central Square.
Countless evolutionists gathered, chatting away.
"The Martial Evolution Path, huh?"
"I wonder when that mysterious scholar will upload the Tier 7 section."
"Indeed, I'm also looking forward to it. After uploading the Tier 7 section, where will the Martial Evolution Path rank?"
"What rank will it be? I bet that as soon as the Tier 7 section is uploaded, the Martial Evolution Path will secure the fourth position, making it the strongest among many Tier 7 evolutionary paths in the Red Kun Star Region."
"Right, when the Martial Evolution Path was at Tier 6, it could compete with a group of top-tier Tier 7 evolutionary paths. When it advances to Tier 7, aside from Tier 8 evolutionary paths, who can surpass it?"
Countless evolutionists and high-level citizens continued their discussions.
Although some citizens questioned the upload time of the Martial Evolution Path Tier 7 section, thinking that even for Evolution Scholars, creating the current Tier 7 section of the Martial Evolution Path was not an easy task.
However, all evolutionists had an almost unanimous belief: once the Tier 7 section of the Martial Evolution Path was uploaded, it would become the strongest Tier 7 evolutionary path in the history of the Red Kun Star Region.
Of course, many evolutionists never thought that the Martial Evolution Path after uploading the Tier 7 section would surpass one or two Tier 8 evolutionary paths because that was simply unrealistic.
The transition from Tier 7 to Tier 8 represented a qualitative change. Tier 8 evolutionists possessed an internal world, controlling the power of the world with every move. Even if there were many Tier 7 king-level evolutionists, they would be annihilated.
This was why, in human civilization, once an evolutionist reached Tier 8, they would become the lord of a star domain, known as a star lord.
In comparison, the gap between Tier 7 evolutionary paths and Tier 8 evolutionary paths was even greater. Even the strongest Tier 7 evolutionary path only had a higher possibility of advancing to Tier 8. To compare or surpass a true Tier 8 evolutionary path was nearly impossible.
While many evolutionists were debating in the central square area about when the Martial Evolution Path's Tier 7 section would be uploaded, at the hum of dawn, the Red Kun Evolution Ranking began to "update."
After a few breaths, the "update" was complete.
Many sharp-eyed evolutionists noticed that the Martial Evolution Path, which was originally ranked sixth, had disappeared.
"Hahaha, I told you. The upload time for the Martial Evolution Path Tier 7 section must be recent, not too far off."
"Yes, that's an Evolution Scholar. Creating a Tier 7 section of an evolutionary path, do you think it's an easy task?"
"I'm sure this scholar who created the Martial Evolution Path is very powerful, even among other Evolution Scholars."
After a few remarks, the evolutionists quickly looked up to confirm how high the Martial Evolution Path had risen.
Soon, evolutionists couldn't find the Martial Evolution Path in the fourth or fifth positions. They instinctively looked higher and found the Martial Evolution Path ranked second.
In an instant, the central square area erupted.
"What?!"
"Ranked second?"
"I remember the original second and third evolutionary paths were Tier 8 evolutionary paths, right?"
"The Martial Evolution Path has surpassed two Tier-8 evolutionary paths?"
"Is it the founder scholar who consecutively uploaded the Tier-7 and Tier-8 sections? Otherwise, how could it surpass Tier-8 evolutionary paths?"
"No, I just checked, and currently, the Martial Evolution Path is at most Tier-7."
"My goodness, the ranking of a Tier-7 evolutionary path has actually surpassed Tier-8 evolutionary paths?"
Countless evolutionists found it incredible, feeling that their understanding of things was beginning to shatter.
Tier-8 evolutionary paths stood high above, giving birth to Tier-8 evolutionists. How could a Tier-7 evolutionary path surpass them? Even if this Tier-7 evolutionary path was outstanding, it seemed impossible.
"I've already purchased the Tier-7 section of the Martial Evolution Path. I want to see what's inside that made the three goddesses give such a high evaluation."
"Me too. The three goddesses are absolutely fair. The Martial Evolution Path actually surpassing Tier-8 evolutionary paths must have something remarkable."
Evolutionists began purchasing the Tier-7 section to watch.
On the Red Kun main star, Lin Yuan walked out of the hall and strolled casually through the thirteen peaks.
Before the Red Spirit Fluid arrived, he had nothing to do. As for continuing to comprehend the spatial model, Lin Yuan estimated that if he continued, he would almost be unable to suppress the natural expansion of his internal world.
"Hmm?"
"Many people are discussing the Martial Evolution Path?"
Lin Yuan raised his eyebrows, noticing that many members of the Red Kun lineage were discussing the Martial Evolution Path.
The Red Kun lineage was the absolute ruler of the Red Kun Star Region, and ordinary matters rarely affected its many members. Therefore, even when the Martial Evolution Path uploaded the Tier-6 section, entering the sixth position on the Red Kun Evolution Ranking, it only caused a small-scale discussion within the Red Kun lineage.
But now?
It was already a widespread discussion, and not just a large-scale one, but a discussion involving all members.
The Red Kun lineage didn't care much about Tier-7 evolutionary paths, even if it was the strongest Tier-7 evolutionary path.
However, every birth of a Tier-8 evolutionary path represented an Evolution Scholar. Moreover, this time, the Martial Evolution Path forcefully entered the Tier-8 evolutionary paths at the Tier-7 level.
It was simply inconceivable.
In fact, it wasn't just the Red Kun Star Region discussing it; the surrounding star regions, and even the vast "Southern Peace" Star Alliance, had countless evolutionists discussing this matter.
In the red palace.
The Red Kun Star Lord purchased the Tier-7 section of the Martial Evolution Path.
Then he started reading it carefully.
"Hmm, this evolutionary path doesn't constrain a specific direction but adapts to what the evolutionist excels at. Indeed impressive."
The Red Kun Star Lord nodded slightly.
"However, just relying on this, wanting to surpass Tier-8 evolutionary paths?"
The Red Kun Star Lord looked puzzled.
If it was just relying on popularity, it was almost impossible to shake the status of Tier-8 evolutionary paths. Even with many Tier-7 evolutionists, they couldn't compare to a single Tier-8 evolutionist.
"Maybe there are parts in it that I haven't understood?"
The Red Kun Star Lord thought to himself.
The Tier-7 section of the Martial Evolution Path offered a vast array of directions for evolutionists to choose from, including basic rules and even involving pivotal rules.
Unless the Red Kun Star Lord chose to go through the Martial Evolution Path again, it would be challenging to perceive the subtle details.
"Forget it, it should be the masterpiece of some old guy in the central star domain. If I don't understand it, I won't bother looking."
The Red Kun Star Lord shook his head slightly, also believing that the Martial Evolution Path came from some Evolution Scholar, perhaps even a high-ranking one from the central star domain.
The thoughts of such high-level scholars were incomprehensible even to the Red Kun Star Lord.
"However, how did my obedient disciple manage to apply for so much Red Spirit Fluid?"
The Red Kun Star Lord's thoughts turned, pondering.
The quantity of Red Spirit Fluid Lin Yuan applied for surprised even the Red Kun Star Lord. It was enough for a typical Tier-8 peak evolutionist to practice for several hundred years.
For a Tier-7 evolutionist like Lin Yuan, applying for so much Red Spirit Fluid didn't make much sense.
However, although the Red Kun Star Lord found it strange why Lin Yuan would request so much Red Spirit Fluid, he still agreed immediately.
The Red Kun Star Lord considered it challenging to guide the cultivation of someone as monstrous as Lin Yuan. Since guidance was not possible, he chose not to guide. He agreed to many of Lin Yuan's requests.
"Where on earth can so much Red Spirit Fluid be used?" The Red Kun Star Lord contemplated, "Could it be for opening an internal world?"
The eyes of the Red Kun Star Lord lit up.
When Lin Yuan broke through to Tier-7, the Red Kun Star Lord vaguely sensed spatial fluctuations from the depths of the Thirteen Peaks where Lin Yuan was located. At that time, the Red Kun Star Lord thought that Lin Yuan only possessed a spatial treasure.
If it were some rare spatial treasure, it could indeed be used to attempt to open an internal world before reaching Tier-8 peak.
"Even if it's for opening an internal world, it shouldn't require this much Red Spirit Fluid."
The Red Kun Star Lord fell into confusion once again.
"Never mind."
"Pay more attention during this time."
The Red Kun Star Lord thought for a moment and resumed cultivation.
Several days later, Lin Yuan looked at the many jars in front of him.
Inside them was an enormous amount of Red Spirit Fluid.
"It's finally here."
A smile appeared on Lin Yuan's face.
"Let's start expanding the internal world."
Lin Yuan sighed softly, "The disturbance caused by expanding the internal world this time should be difficult to conceal."
Lin Yuan suddenly realized.
When he broke through to Tier-7, the internal world he opened was only ten miles in radius. With Lin Yuan's mastery of strength and his deductive ability, he could conceal it to the point that ordinary Tier-8 evolutionists couldn't perceive it.
But next.
Lin Yuan's internal world was about to expand to a radius of over ten thousand miles. Such a significant disturbance would be challenging to suppress. If left unattended, it would alarm the entire Red Kun main star.
Thinking of this, Lin Yuan immediately contacted the Red Kun Star Lord.
"Teacher, for my upcoming cultivation, could you please conceal it a bit?"
Lin Yuan connected his consciousness to the virtual world, arriving at the Red Palace where his teacher was in seclusion.
For the Red Kun Star Lord, Lin Yuan didn't need to hide anything. After all, this was his own teacher, and the Star Lord was already aware of the large amount of Red Spirit Fluid he had applied for earlier.
"Conceal it a bit?"
The Red Kun Star Lord looked at his disciple, a smile appearing on his face. "Good, it's good that my obedient disciple informs the teacher when something comes up."
Even though Lin Yuan didn't mention it, the Red Kun Star Lord would have paid more attention during this time.
If Lin Yuan really did open an internal world, as the Red Kun Star Lord speculated, he would certainly help conceal the disturbance.
However, Lin Yuan taking the initiative to speak made the Red Kun Star Lord feel good.
"Is it related to the internal world?"
Although the Red Kun Star Lord had early suspicions, he asked once more.
"Yes."
Lin Yuan hesitated, nodded, and said.
In his heart, he was quite emotional. Truly an unbeatable existence at Tier-8, able to see through his little secrets.
"Good, good, good."
With Lin Yuan's confirmation, the Red Kun Star Lord was overjoyed.
Typically, only when an evolutionist accumulates enough foundation at the peak of Tier-7, preparing to break through to Tier-8, will they attempt to open an internal world.
Now that Lin Yuan is at Tier-7, attempting to open an internal world is incredibly dazzling even within the "An Nan" Star Alliance.
In fact, what the Red Kun Star Lord didn't know was that Lin Yuan opened his internal world at Tier-6.
"Go."
"No matter what disturbance you cause."
"Teacher will cover for you."
The Red Kun Star Lord waved his hand and said.
"Thank you, teacher."
Lin Yuan expressed his gratitude slightly.
After Lin Yuan left.
The Red Kun Star Lord became curious.
"I wonder how much my obedient disciple's internal world will reach?"
"One mile in radius? Three miles, or five miles in radius?"
The Red Kun Star Lord silently wondered.
Even for Tier-7 peak evolutionists who open an internal world, most have a radius of only ten miles. It's only when they advance to Tier-8 that their internal world expands drastically to over a hundred miles.
For someone like Lin Yuan, not even at the peak of Tier-7, the internal world he opens is likely to be no more than five miles in radius.
"Let's see."
The Red Kun Star Lord looked towards the direction of the Thirteen Peaks.
Being on the Red Kun main star, he could intervene anywhere in an instant.
"With the teacher's assurance."
"Let it begin."
Lin Yuan's consciousness entered the internal world, starting to release the suppression.
Rumbling.
At the edge of the world, space began to shatter, and a large amount of spatial power gathered, continuously expanding and enlarging the internal world.
Outside.
The Red Spirit Fluid from the jars melted into Lin Yuan's body, serving as energy replenishment during the expansion of the internal world.
Rumbling.
Accompanying the frenzied expansion of the internal world.
Strands of world power still escaped Lin Yuan's control.
Faintly, above Lin Yuan, a massive world shadow formed.
The world shadow surged, surpassing ten thousand miles in an instant.
Following.
Twenty thousand miles.
Thirty thousand miles.
Fifty thousand miles.
Inside the crimson palace.
The Red Kun Star Lord has been closely monitoring the movements of the Thirteen Peaks.
When a faint spatial force and the fluctuation of world power emanated from the top of the Thirteen Peaks, a smile couldn't help but appear on the Red Kun Star Lord's face.
Lin Yuan's ability to open an internal world before reaching the peak of Tier-7 indicates an extremely powerful innate talent. As a teacher, how could the Red Kun Star Lord not be delighted?
"Three miles or five miles."
Carefully observing the fluctuations formed by the spatial force and the world power, the Red Kun Star Lord, based on his experience, could often determine the true size of the internal world from the world shadow formed by these scattered forces.
The next moment.
"Hmm?"
The Red Kun Star Lord widened his eyes.
"Not good."
The Red Kun Star Lord's figure disappeared.
In an instant, he appeared in front of the Thirteen Peaks, then raised his right hand. The heavens and the earth changed, and this entire area was directly cut out from the Red Kun main star.
Rumbling.
The massive world shadow rapidly expanded.
The Red Kun Star Lord looked up at the world shadow, which had reached eighty to ninety thousand miles, and for a moment, he didn't know what to think.
"My obedient disciple, is your internal world too big?"
The Red Kun Star Lord lowered his head to look at the Thirteen Peaks below and then raised his head to gaze at the colossal world shadow, approaching nearly a hundred thousand miles. Self-doubt began to creep in.
In the end, is his obedient disciple at Tier-7 or Tier-8?
(End of this chapter)
Chapter 217: Seventh-level Citizen (Seeking Subscriptions)
Red Kun Main Star, Central Continent.
Thirteen Peaks.
From the outside, this peak seems no different from usual.
But in reality, this area has long been isolated by the Red Kun Star Lord, using some means to "detach" it from the original Red Kun Main Star.
With the Red Kun Star Lord's strength, these actions didn't attract the attention of any evolutionists on the main star.
Moreover, all evolutionists within the isolated area fell into a deep sleep and couldn't perceive the vast changes outside.
Rumbling.
The surging power of the world and fluctuations in spatial force continued unabated.
The massive world shadow continued to expand rapidly, showing no signs of stopping after surpassing a hundred thousand miles.
The Red Kun Star Lord stood alone in the void, silently watching the world shadow in the sky.
Exaggerated.
It was truly too exaggerated.
The Red Kun Star Lord already held Lin Yuan in high regard.
He thought that his obedient disciple might be able to achieve a range of three to five miles before reaching the peak of Tier-7.
But in reality?
The current world shadow has already approached nearly a hundred and ten thousand miles.
The difference before and after is by tens of thousands of times.
For the Red Kun Star Lord, a world of eleven thousand miles in radius is nothing.
The Kun Star, born with the pinnacle bloodline of the cosmic sea wanderer, incubates a small world upon birth. By the time it reaches Tier-6 as an adult, the internal world can easily reach tens of miles.
Upon reaching Tier-7, the internal world directly expands to tens of thousands of miles.
Entering Tier-8, the Red Kun Star Lord's internal world exceeds a million miles.
But this is the cosmic sea wanderer, the "darling" of the origin of the universe, born with a small world, a talent that belongs to itself.
And Lin Yuan?
Just a human being, he has created an internal world exceeding a hundred thousand miles at Tier-7, which is simply...
The thoughts of the Red Kun Star Lord fluctuated.
In the end, are you the cosmic sea wanderer, or am I the cosmic sea wanderer?
"The size of the internal world mainly depends on the comprehension of spatial rules," the Red Kun Star Lord thought to himself.
The reason why the cosmic sea wanderer comes with an internal world is that this special life, upon birth, enters the realm of spatial rules, meaning they comprehend the nine hundred and sixty-five basic spatial models.
In addition, some core spatial models are also on the verge of comprehension. This is the huge advantage of the "darling" of the origin of the cosmic space.
Even with rare treasures in the universe, such as the "World Fruit," trying to forcibly open an internal world.
The initial size of the internal world is at most a few hundred to a thousand miles.
To further expand the internal world, one must elevate the comprehension of spatial rules.
Lin Yuan's internal world is now at least over a hundred thousand miles, something that any cosmic treasure cannot achieve. It can only rely on Lin Yuan's own accumulation in the comprehension of spatial rules.
"A hundred thousand miles in radius for the internal world, at least comprehending a thousand core spatial models is required to achieve this. My disciple, didn't he just comprehend the basic spatial models not long ago?"
A feeling of powerlessness suddenly arose in the Red Kun Star Lord's heart.
Lin Yuan's talent and comprehension are truly terrifying. In such a short time, he has achieved such accomplishments in core spatial models.
"Comprehending a thousand core spatial models before the age of a hundred, I'm afraid only a small group of people in the entire Universe Human Alliance can do this, right?"
"If starting from scratch without relying on any external objects."
"I estimate that in the present age, no genius among evolutionists can surpass my disciple."
The Red Kun Star Lord silently thought in his heart.
In the central star field and even in some powerful star fields, talented evolutionists have a high starting point. Even before birth, they receive many resources tilted in their favor.
Or, like the Red Kun Star Lord, they seize the body of a terrifying special life, instantly raising their starting point by a large margin.
Many adventures.
Many tilted resources.
Only by these did they reluctantly cultivate an evolutionist genius comparable to the current Lin Yuan.
If we disregard those adventures and tilted resources, Lin Yuan's aptitude and talent would absolutely surpass the young generation of the current human civilization.
"The expansion speed of the world shadow has slowed down."
The Red Kun Star Lord slightly breathed a sigh of relief. An internal world with a radius of over a hundred thousand miles is almost approaching the internal world of a peak Tier-8 evolutionist.
In the depths of the hall.
Between Lin Yuan's breaths, the power of the world overflowed.
"It finally stopped."
Lin Yuan's consciousness stood within the internal world, looking at the vast world with a radius of twelve thousand miles, a smile appeared on his face.
Compared to the previous small world with a radius of only ten miles, the current internal world with a radius of twelve thousand miles is almost equivalent to more than ten Canglan Stars.
"I can feel that the internal world can still expand a bit more, but due to the limitations of the physical body and soul, it stops at twelve thousand miles."
Lin Yuan thought in his heart.
The size of an evolutionist's internal world depends mainly on two aspects.
First is the strength of their physical body and soul, which forms the foundation for carrying the internal world. If the physical body and soul are too weak, even with a high comprehension of space, the internal world won't be substantial.
Lin Yuan's martial evolution path emphasizes the physical body, and the soul transformed into the primordial spirit is equally strong. Therefore, it can carry an internal world with a radius of twelve thousand miles.
The second is the comprehension of space.
Lin Yuan now clearly feels that his comprehension of space surpasses the limits of his physical body.
"Not a big deal."
"With such a massive internal world, the world power it gives birth to almost constantly strengthens my physical body and soul."
Lin Yuan closed his eyes, feeling the world power flowing like a stream, moisturizing his physical body and soul along his limbs and bones.
"I am now at the Seventh Tier King level, but with such a vast internal world, ordinary Tier-8 evolutionists wouldn't be my opponents."
Lin Yuan thought to himself.
Even if one reaches Tier-8 and masters many Tier-8 evolutionist techniques, they would be helpless against Lin Yuan because his internal world is too vast, and the power of the world is overwhelming.
"Next, I should try to break through Tier-8."
"Before that, I should strengthen my mental will as much as possible to better face the 'Heart Demon Tribulation.'"
Lin Yuan's goal is obvious. With his current foundation, if not for the 'Heart Demon Tribulation,' he could easily break through now.
"To strengthen mental will, the common way in human civilization is to experience more, to live longer."
"But this is just a general method. There are many other ways to enhance the strength of mental will."
Although Lin Yuan uses the Portal of Ten Thousand Worlds to cleverly pass through the 'Heart Demon Tribulation,' this method is not foolproof. Lin Yuan would only attempt it when he is confident he can overcome it.
Casual attempts?
Without proper preparation, attempting the 'Heart Demon Tribulation' might result in the Ten Thousand Worlds Portal being unable to isolate the 'Heart Demon,' leading to death.
How to overcome the 'Heart Demon Tribulation' is the most crucial aspect for human evolutionists.
If one fails the 'Heart Demon Tribulation,' they will undoubtedly die, and even 'resurrection' won't be possible.
The essence of the 'Heart Demon Tribulation' comes from one's own mind. Even if a supreme being intervenes and forcefully resurrects, the individual would still be in a state of undergoing the 'Heart Demon Tribulation.'
At that time, death is inevitable.
Because you can't get through it.
Even for the offspring of a supreme being, in the face of their own 'Heart Demon,' they are equal to all living beings.
"Almost there."
"It's time to go meet the teacher."
Lin Yuan has long sensed the comprehension of space rules. The external space has been completely isolated from normal space. It should be the Red Kun Star Lord's doing, hiding the movement when expanding his internal world.
The reason Lin Yuan asked for help from the Red Kun Star Lord is that even at the Seventh Tier, opening an internal world is still impressive when seen from the outside. Moreover, the internal world fluctuations Lin Yuan just displayed were far more than a simple internal world opening.
So it's better to hide it.
There's no way around it. The encounters in the foreign battlefield made Lin Yuan more vigilant. If it were a normal breakthrough, even if he reached Tier-8, Lin Yuan wouldn't be so cautious. However, having an internal world exceeding a hundred thousand miles at the Seventh Tier is indeed incredible.
Exiting the hall, Lin Yuan saw that the Red Kun Star Lord had been waiting for a long time.
"Is everything okay?"
The Red Kun Star Lord stared at Lin Yuan and asked.
"Everything is fine," Lin Yuan nodded.
"My good disciple, you really surprised your teacher." The Red Kun Star Lord shook his head, sounding full of emotion.
"How far have you reached in understanding the core spatial models?" The Red Kun Star Lord continued to ask.
"Core spatial models," Lin Yuan knew he couldn't hide it from the Red Kun Star Lord and truthfully said, "Not more than twelve hundred."
In fact, if Lin Yuan hadn't given up comprehending the spatial rules in the last two hundred years in the Azure World, he estimates he could have comprehended up to fifteen hundred core spatial models by now.
"Twelve hundred is not enough," the Red Kun Star Lord sighed.
Why does this sound so awkward?
"Teacher, I recently found that the further I go, the slower the comprehension speed of core spatial models becomes, and the more I encounter bottlenecks," Lin Yuan immediately said.
"."
The Red Kun Star Lord fell silent.
"This is normal," the Red Kun Star Lord couldn't help but say.
"You can comprehend twelve hundred core spatial models at your age. It's already rare. It's extremely rare." The Red Kun Star Lord whispered, "If it weren't for the confirmation of the three goddesses, I would doubt whether you were 'possessed' by a strong outsider."
Lin Yuan smiled, "Possessed?"
Yes, like the Red Kun Star Lord can possess the Star Sea Roaming Kun, other outsider powerhouses can naturally possess human evolutionists. However, Lin Yuan's soul, confirmed multiple times by the three goddesses, undoubtedly belongs to humans, not other outsiders.
"Your talent and comprehension are too strong," the Red Kun Star Lord finally expressed his thoughts.
Throughout, the Red Kun Star Lord had always heard others describe himself in this way. After all, with the original body of the Star Sea Roaming Kun, the Red Kun Star Lord's comprehension of spatial rules has always been unmatched.
"I may be lucky."
Lin Yuan spoke.
"Can luck always be on your side?" The Red Kun Star Lord shook his head.
"But since you have already opened an internal world, the focus now should be on mental willpower." The Red Kun Star Lord's expression became slightly solemn.
The more outstanding a talent like Lin Yuan is, the more likely they are to stumble in mental willpower and the 'Heart Demon Tribulation.'
Because the early stages were too smooth, without any setbacks, Lin Yuan subconsciously felt that the Heart Demon Tribulation would be a breeze.
After all, from the Seventh to the Eighth Tier, it's widely acknowledged as the most challenging stage to open an internal world. As for the Heart Demon Tribulation, even the most ordinary evolutionist has a chance to overcome it.
However, once this thought arises, there may be a problem.
Over the two million years of the Star Sea history, countless talented evolutionists have failed in the Heart Demon Tribulation.
"I understand."
Lin Yuan nodded. He has never underestimated the Heart Demon Tribulation.
"Although mental willpower is difficult to measure, our human civilization has summarized a set of approximate standards for estimating mental willpower over the years. I'll send it to you later," the Red Kun Star Lord said.
This set of standards, even in the Human Civilization Alliance, can be considered 'top-secret' because it's prone to being used by outsiders.
So only masters of star domains like the Red Kun Star Lord know the specifics. Lin Yuan can't find it in the virtual network or even the Red Kun Treasury.
After seeing off the Red Kun Star Lord, Lin Yuan returned to the hall.
"Internal world."
Lin Yuan was familiarizing himself with the power of internal time. After all, the internal world, now expanded to a radius of 120,000 miles, was filled with surging world power.
"Hmm?"
"Someone is looking for me?"
Lin Yuan opened his eyes, accessing the virtual panel.
"Shi Feng?"
Lin Yuan connected to the virtual world with his consciousness.
Soon, an old man with a red nose walked out.
It was Shi Feng, a good friend Lin Yuan had met in the virtual world founder circle.
"Haha, Brother Thirteen, the Star Alliance Conference is about to convene. Remember to participate," Shi Feng said with a smile.
"Of course."
Lin Yuan nodded.
He had benefited from the Wish Moon Star Domain, so he wouldn't forget it.
As for the threat from Jintian Zhao of the Golden Dragon Star Domain, Lin Yuan didn't take it seriously. Not to mention Jintian Zhao, even the Lord of the Golden Dragon Star Domain wouldn't dare to take action against a Level 6 citizen.
Lin Yuan chatted with Shi Feng for a while and then disconnected from the virtual world, returning to reality.
"Speaking of which, my merit points are now enough to upgrade to a Level 7 citizen."
Lin Yuan thought to himself.
To upgrade from Level 6 Citizen to Level 7 Citizen, you need two million merit points.
Initially, Lin Yuan thought this was an unattainable goal, requiring multiple travels to gather enough points.
However, after just one trip, uploading the Seventh Tier segment earned him a reward of three million merit points.
This was mainly because the Seventh Tier segment involved opening an internal world, receiving high praise from the three goddesses.
"Upgrade."
Lin Yuan's mind moved slightly.
In an instant, the over three million merit points in Lin Yuan's account decreased by two million.
At the same time, Lin Yuan's citizen level went from Level 6 to Level 7.
"Level 7 Citizen!"
Lin Yuan's spirit shook slightly. Keep in mind that the citizen level of ordinary Eighth Tier evolutionists doesn't reach Level 7 easily, and accumulating enough merit points is no simple task.
Before Lin Yuan could contemplate further, emails from the Central Star Domain arrived, introducing various privileges of Level 7 Citizens.
(End of this chapter)
Chapter 218: Gold Dragon Star Lord: Jintian Zhao, is this your doing? (Seeking subscriptions)
"These privileges."
Lin Yuan carefully browsed the email sent by the Central Star Domain.
Every time Lin Yuan's citizen level advanced, he would receive blessings and introductions from the Central Star Domain.
Compared to Level 6 Citizens, the additional privileges for Level 7 Citizens weren't numerous, but each one was significant.
Firstly, every Level 7 Citizen would receive a Seventh Tier Evolution Elixir and a Seventh Tier Longevity Elixir as gifts from the Central Star Domain.
The function of the Seventh Tier Evolution Elixir was similar to the Sixth Tier version, enhancing one's body and soul to the seventh tier without any side effects.
Of course, this enhancement was only at the basic level, and the abilities and insights gained by a seventh-tier evolutionist were not included.
The reason the Central Star Domain did this was to consider that many Level 7 Citizens might not have high evolution talents.
Throughout their lives, they might not reach the fifth or sixth tier.
The Evolution Elixir was designed to compensate for this deficiency.
Although there were no rule insights, reaching the seventh tier would increase lifespan to at least over a hundred thousand years.
Combined with the Seventh Tier Longevity Elixir, every Level 7 Citizen, even with mediocre evolution talents, could live for two hundred to three hundred thousand years.
Human civilization valued every Level 7 Citizen, hoping they would live longer and contribute more to human civilization.
It was also a way to repay them for their contributions to human civilization, and perhaps, living longer would enable them to contribute even more.
"Seventh Tier Evolution Elixir."
Lin Yuan sighed slightly. This kind of elixir that could elevate someone to the seventh tier without any hidden dangers was something many major forces and families coveted.
Not for themselves.
But for their close relatives or beloved offspring, and so on.
Unfortunately, so far, only the official channels of human civilization could reliably provide such evolution elixirs.
As for other forces? The elixirs they offered to enhance strength mostly had some hidden risks.
"Automatically become a 'senator' of the Annan Star Alliance?"
Lin Yuan looked at the second privilege for Level 7 Citizens.
The Annan Star Alliance was the star alliance affiliated with the Red Kun Star Domain, covering hundreds of nearby star domains.
Although the Annan Star Alliance did not have absolute command over Red Kun Star Lord, it did have relative authority over it.
To become a 'senator' of the Annan Star Alliance was an absolute honor, reserved for figures of the same level as Red Kun Star Lord and Gold Dragon Star Lord.
Ordinary star domain lords couldn't gather enough merit points to elevate their citizen level to Level 7.
Currently, there were fifty-six senators in the Annan Star Alliance, thirty-one of whom concealed their identities. The remaining twenty-five were renowned powerhouses from various star domains.
"Senators of the Star Alliance have the power of a veto, as long as they believe there is a problem with a certain debate, they can veto it and wait for the next Star Alliance meeting to reconvene."
"This veto power can be used a maximum of three times on the same matter. After three times, it cannot be used again."
Lin Yuan scanned through the powers of the Star Alliance senators.
Chapter 218: Golden Dragon Star Lord: Jin Tianzhao, This is Your Doing! (Seeking Subscriptions)
"These privileges."
Lin Yuan carefully read the emails sent by the Central Star Domain.
Every time Lin Yuan's citizen level was promoted, he would receive blessings and introductions from the Central Star Domain.
Compared to Level 6 Citizens, the additional privileges for Level 7 Citizens weren't numerous, but each one was significant.
Firstly, every Level 7 Citizen received a Seventh Tier Evolution Elixir and a Seventh Tier Longevity Elixir as gifts from the Central Star Domain.
The Seventh Tier Evolution Elixir functioned similarly to the Sixth Tier, enhancing the physical and spiritual aspects without any repercussions.
Of course, this enhancement was only at the basic level; the insights into rules and other abilities gained by a Seventh Tier Evolutionist were not included.
The reason the Central Star Domain did this was to consider that many Level 7 Citizens might not have high evolutionary talents.
Throughout their lives, they might not reach the Fifth or Sixth Tier.
The Evolution Elixir served to compensate for this deficiency.
Although there was no rule comprehension, reaching the Seventh Tier still increased their lifespan to over 100,000 years.
Combined with the Seventh Tier Longevity Elixir, every Level 7 Citizen, even with poor evolutionary talents, could live for two hundred to three hundred thousand years.
Human civilization valued every Level 7 Citizen, hoping they could live longer and contribute more to human civilization.
It was also a way of repaying their contributions to human civilization, as Level 7 Citizens could potentially make more significant contributions if they lived longer.
"Seventh Tier Evolution Elixir."
Lin Yuan sighed slightly. Such elixirs, capable of advancing individuals to the Seventh Tier without any hidden dangers, were highly coveted by many major forces and families.
Not for themselves.
But for their close relatives or beloved descendants.
Unfortunately, so far, only the official human civilization could reliably provide such evolution elixirs.
As for other forces? The elixirs they offered to enhance strength generally had some hidden dangers or risks.
"Automatically become a 'Senator' of the Annan Star Alliance?"
Lin Yuan looked at the second privilege of Level 7 Citizens.
The Annan Star Alliance, belonging to the Red Kun Star Domain, covered several hundred star domains in the vicinity.
Although the Annan Star Alliance did not have absolute command over the Red Kun Star Lord, it had some control to a certain extent.
To become a 'Senator' of the Annan Star Alliance, one had to be an absolute figure, on the level of Red Kun Star Lord or Golden Dragon Star Lord.
Ordinary star domain lords could not accumulate the two million merit points required to upgrade to Level 7 Citizens.
Currently, there were fifty-six Senators in the Annan Star Alliance, with thirty-one hiding their identities. The remaining twenty-five were renowned powerhouses from various star domains.
"Senators of the Star Alliance have the power of a single veto. If they believe there is an issue with a certain debate, they can veto it and wait for the next Star Alliance meeting to reopen."
"This veto power can be used a maximum of three times on the same matter. After three times, it cannot be used further."
Lin Yuan glanced over the powers of the Star Alliance Senators. This was mainly to prevent any Senator from causing trouble. However, even so, it was still quite incredible.
Certainly, the reason the three goddesses allowed the Senators of the Star Alliance to have such power was that the debates that occurred in the Star Alliance meeting basically had no impact on the overall situation of human civilization.
Or they didn't involve any bottom lines or red lines related to human civilization.
Regardless of who won or lost, the results were almost the same.
In addition to the above, Level 7 Citizens also had the right to reside permanently in the Central Star Domain, apply for the power to command a guard team led by an Eighth Tier Evolutionist, and the right to defend their case in the Supreme Court, among other privileges.
Lin Yuan carefully read through them. With the status of a Level 7 Citizen, if Lin Yuan applied for a position from the Wisdom Goddess, he would at least become the governor of a main star in the Central Star Domain, a position of high authority.
The position of a governor on a main star in the Central Star Domain was much higher than the position of a governor on Canglan Star, by an unknown amount. The two were not even in the same league.
Even some Eighth Tier Evolutionists were extremely eager to serve as governors on main stars in the Central Star Domain. This was not just about status but also a stable channel for earning merit points.
"Unfortunately, I'm not interested in management."
Lin Yuan shook his head slightly.
The position of governor required a significant amount of time dedicated to planetary management. Generally, only Eighth Tier Evolutionists who had reached a bottleneck were interested.
But for Lin Yuan, who was currently in the golden period of cultivation, the Eighth Tier segment that opened up the martial path was much better than any governor position.
"Respected Level 7 Citizen Lin Yuan, do you wish to conceal your Level 7 Citizen status?"
The solemn and cold voice of the Wisdom Goddess came.
After becoming a Level 7 Citizen, Lin Yuan's information would automatically appear on the Annan Star Alliance's list of Senators.
To protect citizens' privacy, every Level 7 Citizen could choose whether to hide their identity.
Currently, out of the fifty-six Senators in the Annan Star Alliance, thirty-one had hidden their identities.
"Hide."
Lin Yuan nodded.
After concealing his citizen status, the information displayed on the Senators list would be the code name Lin Yuan had set in advance.
That code name was 'Thirteen.'
Choosing the code name 'Thirteen' was just a casual decision by Lin Yuan, and he had no worries about whether it would reveal his true identity.
The Annan Star Alliance encompassed hundreds of star domains and over a billion life-bearing planets, with countless things related to 'Thirteen.'
Even the most top-notch diviners, without a 'God's-eye view,' would not connect 'Thirteen' to Lin Yuan.
The two were simply not on the same track—one was an evolutionist genius, and the other was the founder of the evolutionary path, specializing in completely different fields.
Annan Star Alliance official website.
The fifty-seventh name on the Senators list silently added a new name.
Thirteen.
This change immediately drew the attention of many evolutionists and high-level citizens.
"What? My Annan Star Alliance has gained another Senator?"
"Even with a hidden identity, we don't know which star domain's Level 7 Citizen it is."
"Needless to say, it must be someone from our star domain."
"Can your star domain produce a Level 7 Citizen?"
Many evolutionists were discussing.
Under the long history of the Annan Star Alliance, only fifty-six Senators had been accumulated. Suddenly having one more naturally made many people curious.
However, most evolutionists were merely curious and discussed for a while.
After all, Senators were too far away from them. Those high-ranking figures, towering over dozens of star domains, were not individuals they could come into contact with.
"Thirteen."
Red-nosed Stone Fungus had just taken a sip of fine wine when he received a link from his friend. After clicking and looking at it, he almost spit out the wine in his mouth.
"Damn, could it be such a coincidence?"
Red-nosed Stone Fungus was somewhat incredulous. Didn't he have a friend named Thirteen too?
"No way."
Red-nosed Stone Fungus quickly contacted Lin Yuan.
Personal space.
Lin Yuan sat leisurely on a recliner, listening to the sound of the nearby stream.
"Thirteen, I just saw an additional name on the Senators list."
Red-nosed Stone Fungus asked nervously.
This matter was too unbelievable. Although it was highly likely a coincidence, it was still necessary to confirm.
"Yeah, it should be me."
Lin Yuan casually said. As long as he didn't expose his real identity, there was no need to hide. After all, after becoming a senator, many benefits from the Annan Star Alliance would be actively sent over. Unless Lin Yuan intended to give up these benefits, he would eventually have to make contact with the outside world under the identity of 'Thirteen.'
"Is it really Thirteen? Not a mistake, Thirteen, sir?"
Red-nosed Stone Fungus stared blankly. Even though he had speculated about this before, he still found it unbelievable.
Did he, Stone Fungus, actually address a senator as a brother before?
"Let's talk sitting down."
Lin Yuan waved his hand.
"Sure." However, Red-nosed Stone Fungus did not relax at all.
If Lin Yuan was just a Level 6 Citizen, he might joke and chat casually, but being a Level 7 Citizen was an entirely different class.
Ninety-nine point nine percent of Level 6 Citizens could never become Level 7 Citizens in their lifetimes, including those Eighth Tier Evolutionists.
"Lord Thirteen."
Red-nosed Stone Fungus was about to speak.
Suddenly, his expression changed. After a few breaths of hesitation, he carefully said, "People from the Moonlit Star Domain found me and asked if Lord Thirteen is the same person as that Star Alliance senator."
The official website of the Annan Star Alliance is open to all citizens. Changes in the Senators list are definitely a major event for the higher-ups in the star domain, and it will affect the future pattern of the Star Alliance.
People from the Moonlit Star Domain are naturally always paying attention, especially when the newly added Senator's name is the same as Lin Yuan's code name. They immediately came to find Red-nosed Stone Fungus for confirmation.
"Tell them."
Lin Yuan said casually.
"Yes."
Red-nosed Stone Fungus respectfully replied.
"Lord Thirteen, people from the Moonlit Star Domain want to meet you," Red-nosed Stone Fungus tentatively said.
"Sure."
Lin Yuan nodded.
After a moment, a middle-aged man with a cold expression walked over.
He was the Star Lord of the Moonlit Star Domain.
The Moonlit Star Domain is not an extremely powerful star domain, and its Star Lord is just an ordinary Eighth Tier Evolutionist.
"Lord Thirteen."
The Moonlit Star Domain showed a slightly respectful attitude.
Regardless of Lin Yuan's actual strength, since he could become a Level 7 Citizen, his status could be on par with those Eighth Tier pinnacle Evolutionists. Addressing him as 'Sir' posed no problem.
"What is it?"
Lin Yuan looked at the Star Lord of the Moonlit Star Domain.
"Previously, my Moonlit Star Domain collaborated with Sir. As long as Sir votes for my Moonlit Star Domain, rewards can be obtained. Now it seems that it was a mistake on our part, and the rewards offered were too little."
The Star Lord of the Moonlit Star Domain immediately stated.
"Oh?"
"Too little?"
Lin Yuan smiled ambiguously.
The Star Lord of the Moonlit Star Domain was more tactful. The conditions he had offered originally targeted Lin Yuan as a Level 6 Citizen. Now that Lin Yuan had become a Level 7 Citizen, pretending ignorance would only lead to Lin Yuan simply voting without doing anything else.
Senators also had voting rights, and compared to Level 6 Citizens, a Senator had ten votes.
"Yes."
"Compared to Sir Thirteen's identity, it's too little."
The Star Lord of the Moonlit Star Domain said, "Sir Thirteen should be aware of the dispute between my Moonlit Star Domain and the Golden Dragon Star Domain."
"I know some," Lin Yuan nodded.
The issue between the Moonlit Star Domain and the Golden Dragon Star Domain stemmed from a resource planet. The border area between the two star domains was a place where many dead stars drifted.
What are dead stars?
Stars unsuitable for human habitation and without any resources. Valueless planets are called dead stars.
In the vast expanse of the cosmic sky, there are many such dead stars. Whether dead or alive, planets are not static. They slowly move positions with the various gravities in the cosmic sky.
Among them was a dead star that moved from the border area of the Golden Dragon Star Domain to the Moonlit Star Domain. Later, when people from the Moonlit Star Domain came to investigate, they discovered that this dead star was a resource planet containing precious resources.
Its value was immense. When fully exploited, it was equivalent to at least ten thousand universe crystals. This attracted the attention of the Golden Dragon Star Domain.
The evolutionists of the Golden Dragon lineage, with this dead star originally located in the border area of the two star domains, believed that it should be jointly managed by both star domains, and they wanted to get 80% of the profits.
The Moonlit Star Domain naturally disagreed. The dead star had floated over to the Moonlit Star Domain, so it naturally belonged to them.
The two sides began to argue.
"The Star Lord of the Golden Dragon Star Domain, taking advantage of his extensive connections, took the initiative to bring this matter to the Star Alliance Assembly. My Moonlit Star Domain could only keep inviting other Level 6 Citizens."
The Star Lord of the Moonlit Star Domain said in a low voice.
"My Moonlit Star Domain is willing to pay two thousand universe crystals. We want Sir Thirteen to veto this matter, as much as possible, to delay it."
The Star Lord of the Moonlit Star Domain stated his purpose.
The reason for the delay was that the resources on the resource star could be collected. The longer it was dragged out, the more the evolutionists of the Moonlit Star Domain could collect. As long as they dragged it through this Star Alliance Assembly, they were confident they could collect 70% of the resources before the next Star Alliance Assembly.
"Two thousand universe crystals."
Lin Yuan remained unchanged in expression.
This reward is already considerable. The legacy left by the Eighth Tier Evolutionist Ouyin contained only a thousand universe crystals.
Two thousand universe crystals are already considered a large part of the wealth for an Eighth Tier Evolutionist who has been wandering for many years.
"If Sir Thirteen feels it's too low, then it's three thousand universe crystals."
The Star Lord of the Moonlit Star Domain gritted his teeth.
Even if they successfully collect 70% of the resources, it's probably worth seven thousand universe crystals. Deducting various costs, the Moonlit Star Domain would probably get six thousand universe crystals at most. Offering three thousand universe crystals to Lin Yuan is already quite sincere.
"No problem."
Lin Yuan nodded.
"Thank you, Sir Thirteen."
The Star Lord of the Moonlit Star Domain breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
There are only fifty-six senators in the Star Alliance. Excluding those who are not present most of the time, there are only about ten who actively participate in the Star Alliance Assembly. Among these ten, the Star Lord of the Moonlit Star Domain cannot invite any of them, either because they do not want to offend the Star Lord of the Golden Dragon Star Domain or for other reasons.
Golden Dragon Star Domain.
Main Star of the Golden Dragon.
The Star Lord of the Golden Dragon sat on the golden throne, connected to the virtual world.
"Hmm?"
"The Anan Star Alliance has added a senator? Codenamed 'Thirteen'?"
"Why does this Thirteen sound so familiar?"
The Star Lord of the Golden Dragon, being such an existence, realized after a little thought that 'Thirteen' was the same as the mysterious Level 6 Citizen who Lin Yuan had confessed to offending.
"Same name?"
The Star Lord of the Golden Dragon pondered for a moment and immediately started inquiring.
"It's not the same name. This new senator is that 'Thirteen.'"
The Star Lord of the Golden Dragon immediately felt trouble. If Lin Yuan was just a Level 6 Citizen, he could ignore it. However, how many Level 7 Citizens were there in the entire Anan Star Alliance?
When the Star Lord of the Golden Dragon originally ignored Lin Yuan, it was because he thought that even if Lin Yuan had the potential to become a Level 7 Citizen, it would take many years.
Who would have thought it would happen so soon?
"This Jintian Zhao is really causing me trouble. Just offend one, and I've offended a Level 7 Citizen?"
The Star Lord of the Golden Dragon frowned and immediately summoned Jintian Zhao.
"Did the teacher call me?"
Jintian Zhao, who had just come out of seclusion, received the summons from the Star Lord of the Golden Dragon.
"What's the matter?"
"The teacher's tone sounds bad. Is something wrong?"
Jintian Zhao was somewhat uneasy as he entered the hall where the Star Lord of the Golden Dragon was.
"Jintian Zhao."
The Star Lord of the Golden Dragon looked down at Jintian Zhao. "What have you done!?"
