"The Martial Way Evolution Path"
Lin Yuan's thoughts wandered, and a contemplative expression appeared on his face.
With the improvements made to the Martial Way Evolution Path, its potential had increased significantly.
In addition to the Yin and Yang Taiji path formed by the Moon and the Sun, evolvers could now choose their own specialized paths and combine them in various ways, creating numerous branches.
Moreover, the lower limit of the Martial Way Evolution Path, or more accurately, the cultivation threshold, had been greatly reduced.
In simpler terms, a wider range of evolvers would be able to cultivate this path, increasing their chances of advancing to the third, fourth, and fifth stages.
"The more lives that cultivate an evolution path related to oneself, the more one can enhance one's foundation in a certain aspect, which will have a promoting effect on the future 'ultimate leap'."
Lin Yuan mused to himself.
Here, 'related to oneself' could mean imitating everything about the 'Ancient Gods' as in the case of the Ancient God Evolution Path.
Or, like Lin Yuan, one could create their own evolution path and spread it.
"Wisdom Goddess."
Lin Yuan proactively connected to the Wisdom Goddess.
"Honorable Fifth-Rank Citizen Lin Yuan, the Wisdom Goddess is pleased to serve you," a solemn and cold voice replied.
"I need to 'update' the Martial Way Evolution Path," Lin Yuan said.
Since Lin Yuan had not yet created the sixth-stage chapter of the Martial Way Evolution Path, it wasn't entirely accurate to call it an upload.
It was more appropriate to call it an 'update' as he was merely perfecting the previous second, third, fourth, and fifth-stage chapters.
Subsequently, Lin Yuan synchronized the improved Martial Way Evolution Path to the Wisdom Goddess.
As the Wisdom Goddess finished receiving the Martial Way Evolution Path.
Buzz.
In a mysterious space somewhere unknown distances away from the Red Kun Main Star, Countless giant light screens flashed rapidly, frantically analyzing and simulating the latest Martial Way Evolution Path.
"This evolution path has the potential to be promoted to the eighth stage. Redetermination initiated."
"Preliminary determination: The latest Martial Way Evolution Path has a significantly lowered cultivation threshold and an increased limit potential."
"Commencing deep determination."
"Deep determination: From the second stage onwards, the cultivation difficulty of the Martial Way Evolution Path presents a sharply downward trend. Analyzing the reason... This evolution path incorporates numerous energies within its system."
"Deep determination: The fusion of different energies may produce unexpected variables, which could be for better or worse."
"Deep determination: Evaluation of the Martial Way Evolution Path improved, comprehensive potential enhanced."
"Deep determination: The founder of this evolution path, his personal secret level has risen to nine-star grade."
"Contacting the Freedom Goddess and Justice Goddess, redetermination in progress."
Red Kun Main Star.
In the central square.
Hei Yu Mo's expression remained unchanged, but his heart was growing anxious.
"What do these thirteen peak lords mean by this?"
"I said I have a treasure to offer, and he still won't see me?"
Hei Yu Mo's eyebrows twitched.
He believed that his actions were flawless, and his apology and request for an audience with the thirteen peak lords were all reasonable.
There was no sign of anything amiss.
Even if the thirteen peak lords didn't forgive him, They should at least meet him and ask about the treasure he wanted to offer.
But now, His attempt at apologizing and making amends had not received any response at all.
"If I wait any longer, the thirteen peak lords will probably have successfully integrated their life imprints," Hei Yu Mo thought, calming himself and suppressing the restlessness in his heart.
Once the thirteen peak lords successfully integrated their life imprints, even if he managed to kill them, they could still be 'resurrected' later.
Indeed, the strong insectoid from the insectoid tribe had said that regardless of whether he could completely kill the thirteen peak lords or not, His tribe would still receive ample preferential treatment and corresponding resource allocation.
However, completely killing the thirteen peak lords, failing to do so, or not killing them at all would undoubtedly affect the final treatment of the tribe.
Since he would die either way, Hei Yu Mo naturally hoped that his death would be meaningful.
"No hurry."
"Take it slow."
"I must not show any signs of abnormality now."
Hei Yu Mo understood that as a member of the Red Kun lineage, he was undoubtedly under the scrutiny of countless eyes.
He had to maintain a demeanor befitting his identity.
"I refuse to believe that the thirteen peak lords won't show themselves."
Hei Yu Mo took a slow breath.
By his calculations, the thirteen peak lords should have finished integrating their life imprints by now.
Hei Yu Mo was aware that the hope of completely killing the thirteen peak lords was slim.
Now, he could only consider killing them, even if they would be 'resurrected' by the human race's strongest in the future, which would be many years later.
Moreover, for the human race to resurrect the thirteen peak lords, they would have to pay a huge price. The strong insectoid had asked Hei Yu Mo to assassinate the thirteen peak lords with his life.
And Hei Yu Mo had never thought of using this to have the insectoid tribe's strongest resurrect him.
Because the insectoids would definitely not agree to that.
Even if they did agree, Hei Yu Mo wouldn't believe them.
Thirteen Peaks, Summit Palace.
Lin Yuan waited for a while, but when he saw that the Wisdom Goddess was still determining the Martial Way Evolution Path, he connected his consciousness to the virtual world and entered his personal space.
"Hmm?"
Lin Yuan glanced at the visitation application list.
He found it filled with requests, and at a rough estimate, there were at least tens of thousands of citizens who wanted to visit him.
Moreover, this number was still increasing moment by moment.
"The identity of the thirteen peak lords is indeed a little too attention-grabbing," Lin Yuan shook his head slightly and set the visitation restrictions to sixth-stage evolvers or his own family and friends.
Immediately, The visitation list cleared.
"Mom and Dad left me a message."
Lin Yuan scanned the message list.
These messages, unlike call requests, would not disturb him.
"It's time to meet," Lin Yuan invited his parents and sister into his personal space.
In less than a moment, Lin Shoucheng, Lu Qiong, and Lin Yi appeared in the personal space.
"Big brother," Lin Yi looked at Lin Yuan with admiring eyes.
Standing before her now was not just her brother, but the thirteen peak lord, an object of admiration for countless fans in the Red Kun Star Domain, who would never have the chance to meet him.
"Little Yuan, these past few days you've been on the Red Kun Main Star, Canglan Star has been like a festival. Consul Song personally came out, and together with all the citizens, congratulated you on becoming the thirteen peak lord. Many corporate groups even spent a lot of money to hang a huge banner outside the planet."
Lu Qiong said with a smile.
Lin Yuan smiled but remained silent.
His becoming the thirteen peak lord had indeed had a profound impact on Canglan Star.
Aside from the numerous other benefits, just one point was that Canglan Star might become a 'check-in' holy site for the entire Red Kun Star Domain in the future.
Every year, countless tourists from various star domains would come to Canglan Star to visit the planet where the thirteen peak lords once lived.
Canglan Star would likely prosper from the tourism revenue alone.
Therefore, All of Canglan Star's people had Lin Yuan to thank.
"Little Yuan," Lin Shoucheng, on the other hand, was beaming with pride. "My Lin family has finally achieved glory for our ancestors. And it's not just any ordinary glory. I wonder how many good deeds I did in my previous life."
"The ancients said that when one person achieves immortality, the chicken and dog ascend with them."
"We have not just ascended, those big shots are practically kneeling at our door."
Lin Shoucheng had a lot of feelings these past few days.
In the past, Lin Yuan's identity was that of a champion in the arena.
But in the eyes of the top decision-makers on Canglan Star, he was worth little more than a second glance, after all, they only valued Lin Yuan himself.
Now, however...
These bigwigs treated his family with more enthusiasm and respect than their own parents.
Lin Yuan smiled as he listened to his parents and sister.
As one of the Thirteen Peak Lords, his power and influence in the Red Kun Star Domain were terrifying. Not only corporate groups on Canglan Star but even one of the five major powers in the star domain, the Black Prison Family, had to find ways to curry favor with him.
And Lin Yuan's parents would undoubtedly receive all sorts of flattery as well.
"Right, Little Yuan."
Lu Qiong seemed to remember something and took out a list. "Consul Song gave me a list of people who insulted you online because of the Black Prison Family incident. He said to give it to you."
In the era of interstellar civilization, every citizen enjoyed freedom of speech.
But this 'freedom of speech' came with the caveat of not endangering other citizens.
Insults online could be pursued and punished by the offended party if they so wished.
"Let's just punish the leaders, forget about the rest," Lin Yuan said after glancing at the list.
With the Black Prison Family's previous pressure and their manipulation of public opinion, countless citizens had been misled.
If he pursued them all, a tenth of Canglan Star's population would be in trouble.
After chatting with his family for a while, Lin Yuan disconnected from the virtual world.
"It should be done soon."
Lin Yuan waited for a response from the Wisdom Goddess.
After a moment, the solemn voice of the goddess replied, "Honorable Fifth-Rank Citizen Lin Yuan, according to the final determination, the threshold for your 'updated' Martial Way Evolution Path has been significantly lowered, and its potential greatly enhanced. Aside from the original value of this evolution path, you will be awarded an additional 500,000 merit points."
"500,000 merit points?" Lin Yuan was a little surprised.
This time, he had only updated the Martial Way Evolution Path without uploading any subsequent content.
He had thought the reward would be around 100,000 to 200,000 merit points, but he never expected it to be half a million.
To think that the first five stages of the Martial Way Evolution Path combined wouldn't even amount to this number of merit points! "The Martial Way Evolution Path has a ninety-five percent chance of being promoted to the sixth stage."
"There is a thirty percent chance of being promoted to the seventh stage and a ten percent chance of being promoted to the eighth stage."
Lin Yuan also looked at the latest information on the Martial Way Evolution Path.
"Hmm, the chance of being promoted to the sixth stage remains the same at ninety-five percent."
Lin Yuan nodded slightly, not feeling anything amiss.
A ninety-five percent chance of promotion to the sixth stage was already very high. Most fifth-stage evolution paths only had a thirty to forty percent chance of such a promotion.
Anything above fifty percent was considered excellent, let alone ninety-five.
"The chance of promotion to the seventh stage has increased by ten percent, and the chance of reaching the eighth stage has gone up by five percent."
Lin Yuan speculated that the reason for the increased chances of promotion to the seventh and eighth stages was due to the incorporation of multiple energy systems, which had somehow transformed and sublimated the overall Martial Way Evolution System.
"Let's see the latest ranking of the Martial Way Evolution Path."
Lin Yuan continued to check the updated information on the evolution path, looking at the ranking column.
"First place on the Canglan Evolution Rankings."
"Twelfth place on the Red Kun Evolution Rankings?"
Lin Yuan's expression changed slightly. If he remembered correctly, the previous ranking of the Martial Way Evolution Path was fifty-third on the Red Kun Evolution Rankings.
"Twelfth."
Lin Yuan breathed a sigh of relief.
If it were an ordinary evolver, they might not understand the significance.
But as one of the Thirteen Peak Lords, Lin Yuan naturally knew the value of a ranking in the top fifty on the Red Kun Evolution Rankings.
The Red Kun Evolution Rankings were divided into two tiers.
The first fifty.
And the next fifty.
The evolution paths in the first fifty were all seventh or even eighth-stage evolution paths.
As for the latter fifty, they consisted of both sixth and seventh-stage evolution paths.
For the Martial Way Evolution Path to have entered the Red Kun Evolution Rankings at fifty-third place as a fifth-stage evolution path was already astonishing.
After all, the evolution paths ranked from fifty to one hundred on the list were either sixth or seventh stage.
But now...
The Martial Way Evolution Path had broken into the top fifty.
And it was in a high position within that group, at twelfth place.
To think that the Martial Way Evolution Path, still a fifth-stage evolution path, had broken into a ranking filled with seventh and eighth-stage evolution paths?
Red Kun Main Star, Virtual World, Central Plaza.
Numerous evolvers and high-ranking citizens had gathered.
In small groups, they whispered to each other.
Even after more than a year, the main topic of discussion among those in the plaza was still the Martial Way Evolution Path.
It couldn't be helped.
The Martial Way Evolution Path was just too extraordinary and unique.
The top one hundred evolution paths on the Red Kun Evolution Rankings were all sixth, seventh, or eighth-stage evolution paths.
The only exception was the Martial Way Evolution Path, a fifth-stage evolution path, which naturally drew attention.
"I bet that when the sixth stage of the Martial Way Evolution Path is uploaded, its ranking will definitely rise again, breaking into the top fifty."
"Of course. It's already ranked fifty-third, and with the addition of the sixth stage, the overall tier will increase. If the sixth stage is stable, it will likely break into the top thirty or even twenty."
"The top fifty evolution paths on the Red Kun Evolution Rankings are all seventh or eighth stage. If the Martial Way Evolution Path can break into that group as a sixth-stage evolution path, that would be amazing."
The evolvers chatted excitedly.
Just then, the Red Kun Evolution Rankings began to refresh.
Buzz.
The evolution paths on the rankings blurred simultaneously.
All the evolvers in the plaza stared at the rankings expectantly.
After a few breaths...
The Red Kun Evolution Rankings refreshed.
"Damn!"
"The Martial Way Evolution Path broke into the top fifty!"
"What do you mean top fifty? It's twelfth!"
"It almost broke into the top ten!"
"What's going on?"
"I thought it would be around the top twenty or thirty after the sixth stage was uploaded."
"Looks like we underestimated the great scholar who created this evolution path."
"Let me see. What's so amazing about the sixth stage of the Martial Way Evolution Path that it jumped from fifty-third place to twelfth?"
Countless evolvers, filled with anticipation and excitement, entered the purchase interface of the Martial Way Evolution Path, wanting to buy the sixth stage.
In the next moment, however, they witnessed a shocking scene.
The Martial Way Evolution Path.
Did not have a sixth stage.
