Chapter 146: Identity Revealed
Chapter 146: Identity Revealed (End of Chapter)
"Since Mr. Lin has reached the sixth stage, I shall take my leave."
The dwarf man bowed slightly to Lin Yuan and disappeared from the spot. He had been ordered by the Goddess of Wisdom to protect Lin Yuan until he reached the sixth stage, and now that Lin had achieved this milestone, his task was complete.
Besides, it was clear that the bald man and Lin Yuan, these two martial brothers, had matters to discuss privately. Staying any longer would only make him a third wheel.
"So he's a king of the Demon Rat Tribe?" The senior martial brother glanced at the departing dwarf and murmured.
"Demon Rat Tribe?"
"King?"
Lin Yuan's heart stirred. He knew of the Demon Rat Tribe, which had been subjugated by the Human Tribe for millions of years and was now largely assimilated.
The fact that the Goddess of Wisdom had entrusted Lin's protection to this dwarf man indicated her absolute trust in him. Indeed, these exotic tribes that had been integrated into human civilization for extended periods might be even more loyal to the human civilization than some humans.
After all, their kin and tribe members lived within the human civilization's domain. Should they dare to betray, all their fellow tribespeople would suffer the consequences.
As for the title 'King', it was bestowed upon peak seventh-stage evolvers.
Unlike the first six stages, which were each divided into twelve sub-stages, the seventh stage only had three. From weakest to strongest, they were: General, Marquis, and King.
A King at the seventh stage was already at the pinnacle, and even on the exotic battlefield, a single King could preside over a region.
"Thank you, senior martial brother, for your protection during this time." Lin Yuan expressed his gratitude. Just now, when he had first seen his senior martial brother, he had realized the reason for his brother's confidence in assuring Lin that he could cultivate safely on Canglan Star.
"We're martial brothers, no need for thanks." The senior martial brother waved his hand dismissively.
"Let's go."
"Junior martial brother, let's return to the Chu Kun Main Star before news of your breakthrough to the sixth stage spreads." The senior martial brother said, as if suddenly remembering something.
That dwarf man from the Demon Rat Tribe knew of Lin Yuan's advancement to the sixth stage, but he would never divulge this information.
Thus, as of now, No one else knew about Lin Yuan's breakthrough to the sixth stage, not even the fifth-stage evolvers on Canglan Star, who were unable to sense the subtle fluctuations of a fifth-stage evolver breaking through to the sixth.
"Alright." Lin Yuan nodded and glanced at Canglan Star. "We..."
"You want to ask how to get to the Chu Kun Main Star, right?" The senior martial brother smiled faintly. "If I were alone, I would definitely take a leisurely spaceship ride back."
"But with little junior martial brother here, to avoid any mishaps, let's just teleport back directly."
As he finished speaking, a five-colored transparent crystal appeared before them.
It was in the shape of a 'Rubik's Cube', faintly emanating a spatial fluctuation.
"This Rubik's Cube..."
Lin Yuan felt that this Rubik's Cube resembled the massive Rubik's Cube within the Seven Stars Cave World, which represented the path to evolution beyond the sixth stage.
The two were undoubtedly of the same origin.
"This is called the Crystal Rubik's Cube, a gift from our teacher. Once crushed, it will form a spatial passage, with the other end leading directly to the Chu Kun Main Star." The senior martial brother explained with a smile.
Crunch.
The senior martial brother gripped the Crystal Rubik's Cube and gave it a light squeeze.
Instantly, the cube shattered into countless specks of powder, from which spatial energy began to gather.
Before the senior martial brother, a spatial door formed.
"Go on in, little junior martial brother."
The senior martial brother closed his eyes and gently sensed the surroundings. "The spatial passage is very stable and can accommodate the passage of a sixth-stage lifeform."
"Senior martial brother."
Lin Yuan looked down at Canglan Star.
"Are you worried about your family?" The senior martial brother smiled bitterly. "Rest assured, once you return to the main star, we will immediately inform the Chenxi Main Star of your identity, little junior martial brother, and they will make an official announcement.
"The moment the Chenxi Main Star receives the news, they will dispatch a specialized guard team to Canglan Star to protect your family."
The senior martial brother paused for a moment before continuing, "In fact, little junior martial brother, you don't need to worry about the safety of your family.
"The exotics like to assassinate our Human Tribe's genius evolvers, but they have little interest in the families of genius evolvers."
The senior martial brother implied.
"Little interest?" Lin Yuan was surprised.
"I'm just saying, for example..." The senior martial brother smiled and said, "If the exotics were to assassinate your family, little junior martial brother, would you be completely disheartened?"
"No." Lin Yuan shook his head.
"I see." Lin Yuan finally understood.
High-stage evolvers possessed heaven-shaking, earth-shattering power, and their mental state was naturally close to perfection.
If the death of their family members could cause a high-stage evolver's mental state to collapse, then their years of cultivation would truly have been in vain.
The death of family and loved ones would only fuel the evolvers' hatred for the exotics.
Especially for genius-level evolvers, the passing of their kin might even act as a catalyst, propelling them to break through faster.
As for capturing their family members and holding them hostage?
Across the long history of human civilization, no Evolver would ever tolerate threats from the exotic tribes. Therefore, unless there were special circumstances, the exotics would rarely target the families of genius Evolvers from the Human Tribe; it simply held no practical significance.
"Go on in," the senior martial brother said.
Lin Yuan took one last look at Canglan Star beneath him and stepped into the spatial passage with his senior martial brother.
"What chaotic spatial force," Lin Yuan exclaimed in surprise. Even with the spatial passage as a barrier, he could still sense the unruly and violent spatial force beyond.
The chaos and ferocity far exceeded what Lin Yuan had experienced when he entered the spatial rift in the Godly Weapon World.
However, at this moment, all the unruly and chaotic spatial forces were being restrained and blocked by the spatial passage created by the Crystal Rubik's Cube.
"The rules of space are truly wondrous," Lin Yuan muttered in awe.
He followed his senior martial brother, stepping through the spatial passage, and with each step, he vaguely sensed that he was traversing vast distances. The unruly spatial forces were compressed within the passage, forcing what would have been light-years of distance into just a few steps.
Lin Yuan had some understanding of spatial rules, and within the Seven Stars Cave World, he had comprehended the evolution path represented by the giant Rubik's Cube, which transcended the sixth stage, up to the seventh tier.
However, compared to the intricacies of the spatial rules he was now experiencing, his previous understanding was like a flickering firefly in the presence of a radiant full moon.
Soon, after just a few dozen steps...
Lin Yuan found himself at the other end of the spatial passage.
A planet loomed in the distance, dwarfing Canglan Star a hundredfold, if not more.
"That's the Chu Kun Main Star," the senior martial brother said, a smile breaking across his face.
It was only at this moment that the senior martial brother truly felt safe, both for himself and his junior martial brother.
Even if an eighth-stage peak evolver were to attack them now, with the Chu Kun Main Star so close, their teacher, the Chu Kun Star Master, could intervene with just a thought.
"There are so many powerful experts here," Lin Yuan whispered, sensing the hidden auras of numerous high-stage Evolvers on the Chu Kun Main Star. Sixth-stage Evolvers were no longer a rarity here.
"Now that I've reached the sixth stage, my soul's compatibility and transformation are complete, and I've merged with the martial evolution path," Lin Yuan thought to himself. "Not even someone as powerful as my teacher can see through the evolution path that I'm cultivating."
The reason Lin Yuan had been reluctant to return to the Chu Kun Main Star after becoming one of the Thirteen Peak Masters was his fear of having his martial evolution path discovered by other high-stage Evolvers.
After all, the martial evolution path had already displayed its potential to advance to an eighth-stage evolution path.
As the founder of this evolution path, Lin Yuan could be considered, in a sense, the 'seed' of an Evolution Grand Master.
This identity far surpassed that of being one of the Thirteen Peak Masters, as any Evolution Grand Master was a true pillar of human civilization.
Moreover, Evolution Grand Masters started at the eighth stage, and their citizen rank was unimaginably high, giving them far more influence than a single powerful Evolver.
"Follow me," the senior martial brother said, his thoughts causing the space around them to distort slightly, obscuring their appearances and auras.
Whoosh! The senior martial brother led Lin Yuan into the Chu Kun Main Star, and numerous fluctuations rippled through the air as their identities were confirmed.
Soon, they arrived at a continent composed of over ten towering peaks in the center of the planet.
Lin Yuan counted fourteen peaks in total, with the grandest and most majestic peak at the center belonging to their teacher, the Chu Kun Star Master. The thirteen surrounding peaks belonged to Lin Yuan and his fellow Peak Masters.
As they walked, the senior martial brother said, "Now that our little junior martial brother has arrived at the main star, it's time for our Chu Kun lineage to update the information of the Thirteen Peak Masters."
"Little Junior Martial Brother Lin Yuan is from Canglan Star, which is a life planet in the Chenxi Galaxy. So, we will first announce it to the Chenxi Galaxy, and then they can spread the news outward from their main star," the senior martial brother explained.
"Alright," Lin Yuan nodded in agreement.
With his strength at the sixth stage, he could confidently shoulder the position of one of the Thirteen Peak Masters without any concerns about being unworthy of the title.
Aside from the senior martial brother, the second and third senior martial brothers, the rest of his martial brothers had also reached the sixth stage.
Back then, when the Chu Kun Star Master had seized the body of the Star Sea Traveling Kun, he had hidden at the seventh stage before daring to return to the Human Civilization Alliance.
This was because the Chu Kun Star Master was not a conventional genius. The young Star Sea Traveling Kun whose body he had seized could easily attract enmity.
For example, what if the 'parents' of the Star Sea Traveling Kun sought revenge? Or what if the special life cluster of the Star Sea Traveling Kun species took offense?
While the Star Sea Traveling Kun species was indeed rare, there were still a few of them, and powerful bloodlines tended to produce strong offspring.
This was precisely why the Chu Kun Star Master had hidden himself at the seventh stage before returning to human civilization.
"I wonder how happy Chenxi will be when he learns that a peerless genius like our little junior martial brother was born in his galaxy," the senior martial brother mused aloud.
As one of the Thirteen Peak Masters, Lin Yuan was now the true master of a star domain, wielding life and death power over an entire star field.
And since Lin Yuan came from the Chenxi Galaxy, he would likely develop a soft spot for that galaxy.
This newfound goodwill might not be significant, but compared to completely unfamiliar galaxies, they would undoubtedly lean towards the Chenxi Galaxy.
Under such circumstances, as long as the Chenxi Galaxy didn't bring about its downfall, it would be like having a powerful backer, giving them more influence in the Chu Kun Star Domain.
And this was just the impact of Lin Yuan's presence on the vast Chenxi Galaxy. As for Canglan Star, if Lin Yuan was willing, it could even be promoted to a higher life planet due to his influence.
There were many factors involved in the promotion from a medium life planet to a higher life planet, including the planet's ability to contain universal energy and the number of powerful beings.
Normally, most higher life planets were naturally formed, and it was rare for a medium life planet to advance to this status.
The cost during this process was simply too great.
However, with Lin Yuan's tacit approval and support as one of the Thirteen Peak Masters, it was only a matter of time before Canglan Star was promoted to a higher life planet.
"Senior Martial Brother, are we going to see our teacher now?" Lin Yuan asked.
"See our teacher?" The Senior Martial Brother shook his head. "There's no need for that."
"When you entered the Chu Kun Main Star, our teacher already knew about it. Whether you see him or not doesn't make a difference."
The Senior Martial Brother looked at Lin Yuan, his expression turning slightly solemn. "Little Junior Martial Brother, the most important thing for you right now is not to see our teacher or to continue cultivating."
"Instead..."
"...it is to imprint your life essence and engrave it into the universe." The Senior Martial Brother said solemnly.
The life essence of a sixth-stage Evolver was powerful enough to leave an imprint in the universe.
This imprint was also known as a life imprint, and as long as it existed, even if Lin Yuan perished, the strongest members of the Human Tribe could use this imprint as an 'anchor' to reverse time and resurrect him.
As for those below the sixth stage, their life essence was not strong enough, and death would be final, with no possibility of resurrection.
"Understood." Lin Yuan nodded.
Imprinting one's life essence into the universe was the first thing any Evolver would do as soon as they stepped into the sixth stage.
It was crucial for their ability to be resurrected in the future, and even those sixth-stage Evolvers who weren't qualified for resurrection would do the same.
Perhaps in the distant future, their offspring might achieve great things and plead with the strongest beings to resurrect them?
Chenxi Main Star The Chu Kun Star Domain consisted of eight galaxies, with over a million life planets.
Among them, the Chenxi Galaxy wasn't the weakest, but it also had no connection to the strongest, consistently ranking fifth or sixth.
Chenxi Main Star, Within a Certain Department This department was one of the core departments of the Chenxi Main Star, responsible for liaising with the Chu Kun Main Star, constantly conveying the numerous orders sent from there.
"Hey, I wonder when the Thirteen Peak Masters reached the sixth stage and what their real identities are... Could they be from our Chenxi Galaxy?"
In the department, a female employee was a little bored and chatted with her colleagues.
In the virtual world arena, the Thirteen Peak Masters' final few battles, especially the two slaps that shattered the Ten Thousand Sun Holy Son, had led many powerful beings outside to believe that the Thirteen Peak Masters' soul compatibility had reached a hundred percent.
From this, they deduced that he had stepped into the sixth stage, and this achievement was likely a recent occurrence.
Once an Evolver reached the sixth stage, there was no longer a need to keep their identity a secret, and it could be made public.
And according to the Chu Kun Main Star's style of doing things, they would let the main star of the galaxy where the Thirteen Peak Masters originated from be responsible for spreading the news.
If the Thirteen Peak Masters didn't come from one of the eight galaxies, the Chu Kun Main Star would personally make the announcement.
"I don't think there's a high possibility that the Thirteen Peak Masters are from the Chenxi Galaxy. Our galaxy only has a little over a hundred higher life planets, while other powerful galaxies have hundreds of them as a starting point."
"A genius like the Thirteen Peak Masters is most likely born on a higher life planet."
Another department employee spoke up.
One of the many differences between higher life planets and medium and lower life planets was the probability of giving birth to geniuses.
The former had a much higher chance than the latter.
Higher life planets contained higher-quality universal energy, and living in this environment for a long time meant that even mediocre talents would surpass geniuses from medium life planets.
"Are there any updates from the other galaxies?" a third department employee asked.
If the Thirteen Peak Masters were from another galaxy, the Chu Kun Main Star would definitely notify that galaxy, and the news would be made public immediately.
"Not yet."
"I've been keeping an eye out for it."
The female employee who had spoken first replied.
"It's been such a long time. The Thirteen Peak Masters should have broken through by now. They would have made an announcement if there was any news. Could it be that the Thirteen Peak Masters really come from outside the Chu Kun Star Domain and were brought back by the Star Master during his travels in the universe?" one of the department employees wondered aloud.
Just as everyone was chatting...
Beep, beep, beep, beep— The entire department suddenly lit up with red light.
"Receiving a file from the Chu Kun Main Star."
"The real identity of the Thirteen Peak Masters... is from the Chenxi Galaxy."
