Chapter 140: Rejected (End of Chapter)
Chapter 140: Rejected (End of Chapter)
In an instant, the outer region of the Myriad Worlds Gate lit up— And Lin Yuan knew.
"Can I traverse now?"
Lin Yuan's consciousness delved deep into his mind, gazing upon the majestic and grand Myriad Worlds Gate.
"But not yet."
Lin Yuan's brows furrowed slightly.
Currently, he was at a crucial stage between the fifth and sixth tiers.
His soul compatibility had reached eighty-five percent, and he was very close to achieving perfect harmony.
To increase soul compatibility, Lin Yuan had to focus all his energy on enlightenment and perfecting his martial arts evolution path.
If he were to traverse to another world now, it would be akin to halting the process of his soul transformation.
After the traversal ended and Lin Yuan advanced to the sixth tier in another world, when he returned to the main world, He would still need to spend time and energy to complete the final stage of soul compatibility.
Lin Yuan's true worry was not any of the above.
Rather, he was concerned that abruptly halting his soul transformation might lead to unfavorable outcomes.
What if his soul compatibility regressed instead of progressing, or if the rate of compatibility suddenly slowed down?
Throughout the long history of the cosmic human civilization, there had been cases of fifth-tier evolvers whose soul transformation and self-evolution paths were interrupted due to various unforeseen circumstances.
And when they attempted to resume their transformation and compatibility process, they found that the speed and efficiency of their soul compatibility were affected.
"Never mind."
"I'll wait until I've completed my soul transformation and entered the sixth tier before traversing."
A fleeting thought flashed across Lin Yuan's face, and finally, he made a decision.
Delaying the traversal wouldn't cause any loss for Lin Yuan, as the Myriad Worlds Gate would continue to accumulate and charge.
It was like a ten-liter cup that was constantly being filled with water drop by drop. When the water in the cup reached one liter, Lin Yuan could initiate a traversal.
The traversal would consume that one liter of water instantly.
But if he chose not to traverse, that one liter of water wouldn't disappear; it would remain in the cup, not affecting the subsequent addition of water to the cup.
Theoretically, Lin Yuan could wait for several years and perform uninterrupted traversals.
Or he could explore other functions of the Myriad Worlds Gate, such as what would happen if he lit up the core region?
Beyond the Canglan Star.
A spaceship slowly came to a halt, submitting to the star platform inspection.
"Boss, we've arrived at Canglan Star, our destination."
Inside the spaceship, a green-haired youth exclaimed excitedly, "This is my first time leaving my home planet. I bet there are lots of fun places on this Canglan Star."
"Fun?"
A green-haired middle-aged man opened his eyes and sighed.
"Just wait, and you'll see how painful it is to be stationed on this kind of mid-level life planet for a long time."
The green-haired middle-aged man glanced at the youth.
"Huh? Painful?"
The green-haired youth was taken aback.
"Could it be something good?"
The green-haired middle-aged man scoffed, "Can the entertainment activities, welfare treatments, and supply of cosmic energy on this mid-level life planet compare to those on a higher-level life planet?"
"If it weren't for Miss ordering us to establish a trade outpost on Canglan Star, I wouldn't have come here willingly."
The green-haired middle-aged man sighed again.
"Yes," he continued, "It's said that Lin Yuan, an evolutionary genius of Canglan Star, rejected the recruitment offer from Hei Yuqiao, bringing trouble to the entire Canglan Star.
Fortunately, another evolutionary genius from Canglan Star, Fang Qing, joined the Chi Kun lineage. Fang Qing and Lin Yuan have a close relationship, so Fang Qing pleaded with Miss and the other evolvers from the Chi Kun lineage to help re-establish the trade channel."
The green-haired youth had evidently done his research before coming here.
As it was his first time leaving his home planet, he wanted to be well-prepared.
"Mr. Fang Qing is really considerate," the green-haired youth said admiringly.
Who wouldn't want to have such a friend who would stand up for them when they were being bullied?
"Indeed."
"Mr. Fang Qing has a strong sense of righteousness, but that Lin Yuan is just ungrateful."
The green-haired middle-aged man shook his head and said, "Hei Yuqiaoshao has such a high status, and he personally recruited Lin Yuan, showing his humility and respect for talents. Yet, Lin Yuan dared to refuse, regardless of the consequences for Canglan Star."
"This kind of person has an extremely selfish personality. If it weren't for Mr. Fang Qing's protection, his future would definitely be miserable."
The green-haired middle-aged man spoke slowly.
His view was shared by most people, especially those who had been transferred to establish the trade outpost; they all had some grievances against Lin Yuan.
"That's true," the green-haired youth nodded slightly.
Since childhood, he had been educated by his family to dedicate everything to the family when necessary. If he were in Lin Yuan's position, he wouldn't have made such a self-centered decision.
"Actually, there's no need to wait that long."
"Mr. Fang Qing has just entered the Chi Kun lineage, valuing his friendship with Lin Yuan. But as time passes, Mr. Fang Qing will soar to new heights with the support of the Chi Kun lineage, entering the fifth tier and then the sixth tier."
"But Lin Yuan, even if he's an evolutionary genius that Canglan Star hasn't seen in hundreds of thousands of years, will probably stop at the fifth tier."
"As the gap between their strengths widens, how can their friendship be maintained? A dragon would never be friends with an ant."
The green-haired middle-aged man expressed his opinion.
"After hundreds or thousands of years, Mr. Fang Qing's friendship with Lin Yuan will naturally fade," he added calmly.
"Indeed."
"You can't be friends with someone who isn't on the same level of strength," the green-haired youth nodded in agreement.
In the main building of the Mid-continent Estate.
"I should still hasten the completion of my soul transformation and compatibility."
Since the Myriad Worlds Gate could be traversed at any time, Lin Yuan wanted to increase the speed of his soul compatibility.
"Perhaps I can spar with other powerful evolvers?"
Lin Yuan's expression was pensive.
Sparring with evolvers of different evolutionary paths could significantly improve Lin Yuan's enlightenment efficiency.
Especially in terms of perfecting his martial arts, since Lin Yuan intended to expand his martial arts beyond Taiyin Taiyin and accommodate all the paths in the world.
By fighting against numerous evolvers and comprehending their unique paths and ways, he could evidently make progress in this regard.
"I might as well give it a try since I have free time anyway."
Lin Yuan's consciousness connected to the virtual world and entered the Arena region.
The virtual world consisted of various regions, including the Living Area, Trading Area, Central Plaza, and the Arena.
The Arena region was specifically designed for evolvers to spar and exchange techniques.
The Cosmic Human Alliance's Arena Tournament was held in the Arena region during every session.
Of course, only evolvers under a hundred years old were allowed to participate in the tournament.
As for those who were truly powerful, fifth-tier and sixth-tier evolvers, if they wanted to spar or exchange techniques, they would choose the Arena region.
"Registration."
"Strength: Fifth Tier, Twelfth Level; Soul Compatibility Transformation in Progress."
"Identity: Hidden."
Lin Yuan entered the Arena region, disguising himself as a wandering evolver exploring the universe, and began to select his opponents.
"Hmm, this person has been undergoing soul compatibility transformation for over two hundred years and has achieved about ninety percent compatibility. I request to challenge him."
"And this person, from the Wanyang lineage, is a Core Sage. He's not inferior to the Peak Master of the Chi Kun lineage. I request to challenge him as well."
"Unique physique, noble bloodline, about to step into the sixth tier?
Hurry up and apply for the challenge, otherwise, you won't be able to apply once you reach the sixth tier."
Lin Yuan spent a good half-day selecting over a hundred opponents.
These opponents were carefully chosen by Lin Yuan, and even if their strength wasn't quite on par with his, they were still very close.
They would be able to provide Lin Yuan with the pressure he needed.
Furthermore, these individuals' evolutionary paths were extremely rare and unique, and they would have a positive impact on Lin Yuan.
After applying to challenge each one of them...
Lin Yuan waited.
Just then, the intelligent assistant's voice sounded, "Master, Governor Song Wuyang requests an audience with you."
In the virtual world, within Lin Yuan's personal space.
Lin Yuan's figure appeared.
Not long after.
Song Wuyang also appeared before him.
"This crisis finally passed without any major incident."
A relaxed expression appeared on Song Wuyang's face.
As the planetary governor, if Canglan Star had shown signs of economic regression or other negative influences during his tenure, it would have dealt a catastrophic blow to his political career.
Fortunately, it was all over now.
Under Fang Qing's leadership, many forces had begun to re-establish trade with Canglan Star, and the star even seized this opportunity to achieve unexpected development.
It was a blessing in disguise.
"If it weren't for Mr. Fang Qing, we would have been in deep trouble."
Governor Song Wuyang said.
"Yes."
Lin Yuan nodded.
To be honest, Lin Yuan didn't feel much about the whole situation. Even if the online criticism escalated, he could simply ignore it all.
However, his parents and sister would have to endure some 'cyberbullying'. That was why he was grateful that Fang Qing had stood up for him.
Even if it didn't provide any substantial help, it at least eased the psychological burden on his family.
"Mr. Fang Qing stood up for you because of his friendship with you, Lin Yuan. I hope you two will continue to interact frequently."
Governor Song Wuyang hinted.
His implication was clear – he hoped that Lin Yuan would get closer to Fang Qing, as there was no guarantee that Fang Qing would help out again in the future.
Lin Yuan's expression remained calm.
He knew that Song Wuyang's words carried no malice, and he was merely considering things from his own perspective.
Now that he had finally managed to latch onto a powerful figure, he naturally wanted to hold on tightly. Especially since Fang Qing was a member of the Chi Kun lineage, there was no telling how high he would rise within the star domain in the future.
Song Wuyang chatted with Lin Yuan for a while before taking his leave.
With the trade channels of Canglan Star just re-established, there were many matters that required the governor's attention.
Lin Yuan's consciousness disconnected from the virtual world.
He walked out of the main building and onto the grassy field outside.
"Big brother."
Lin Yi, his sister, flew over to him, riding a shield-like weapon that she controlled with her psychic powers.
"That Hei Yuqiao is such a petty person. You refused his offer, so he tried to pressure Canglan Star, but now he's the one who's embarrassed, right?"
Lin Yi couldn't help but gossip.
"But thankfully, your friend is so reliable. Many of my girlfriends are envious that you have such a good friend."
Lin Yi continued.
"Oh?" Lin Yuan's expression remained calm.
During this period, as public opinion gradually calmed down, Lin Yi finally got to vent her frustration.
In the virtual world.
Fang Qing and Lin Yuan sat facing each other.
"It seems like everything has calmed down now."
"Hei Yuqiao hasn't made any moves lately, and I doubt he dares to try anything else."
As Fang Qing said this, he stared at Lin Yuan and continued, "Lin Yuan, are you interested in joining the Chi Kun lineage?"
"I'll have an 'internal recommendation' spot available soon, and I can give it to you if you want."
There were multiple ways to join the Chi Kun lineage, and the 'internal recommendation' was one of the simplest methods.
Once every hundred years, members of the Chi Kun lineage would have the opportunity to recommend other evolutionaries to join their ranks.
However, those who joined through 'internal recommendation' would only be considered the lowest-ranking external members.
They would need to undergo various trials to remain in the Chi Kun lineage.
Even so, an 'internal recommendation' was still a rare opportunity for most evolutionaries.
After all, the Chi Kun lineage was the undisputed ruler of the Chi Kun star domain.
Even spending a few years within their ranks would be a prestigious credential.
"'Internal recommendation'..."
Lin Yuan fell into thought.
Did he, the master of the Thirteenth Peak of Chi Kun, need an internal recommendation?
"Lin Yuan, what do you think?"
Although Fang Qing didn't know the reason behind Lin Yuan's refusal of Hei Yuqiao's offer, he still wanted to lend his friend a hand.
"If you join the Chi Kun lineage, even if you're just an external member, I'll be there to support you. With your talent, Lin Yuan, it won't be difficult for you to become a formal member in the future."
Fang Qing considered things comprehensively for Lin Yuan.
"We'll see."
Lin Yuan smiled as he replied.
"Alright."
Fang Qing nodded.
"Young Master."
"The 222 evolutionaries you wanted to recruit have all agreed and signed the contracts."
The elderly man, Bei Zhao, dressed in a black suit, respectfully reported to Hei Yuqiao, who sat on his throne.
"Then proceed with the next step of the plan. Before the next Arena Tournament begins, their strength must be increased by at least 40%."
Hei Yuqiao instructed.
"Yes."
Bei Zhao responded and then disappeared from the spot.
"222 evolutionaries..."
Hei Yuqiao fell silent. There should have been 223, but Lin Yuan had refused his offer, and Hei Yuqiao had intended to force him to submit by cutting off trade.
However, Fang Qing had suddenly interfered.
"Just you wait. Once I pass the family test and return to the family to take the position of clan leader, all of you will pay the price."
Hei Yuqiao muttered to himself.
In the underground training field of the Mid-continent Estate on Canglan Star.
Lin Yuan's consciousness connected to the virtual world and entered the Arena region.
"Let's see if anyone has accepted my challenge requests."
Several hours earlier, Lin Yuan had selected a large number of evolutionaries of similar strength to challenge, hoping to accelerate his soul compatibility transformation.
"Hmm?"
As he opened the list of challenge requests, Lin Yuan's eyebrows furrowed.
He found that all of his challenge requests had been rejected.
Rejected.
Rejected.
Rejected.
And again, rejected.
Out of over a hundred challenge requests, more than seventy had been rejected, and the remaining thirty or forty, though not rejected, were as good as rejected.
"All of them rejected me?"
Lin Yuan blinked.
Was this the result of his first attempt at challenging others?
