Chapter 179: Lady Luck Smiles
Chapter 179: Lady Luck Smiles (End of Preview)
In the main world, the strength of its inhabitants was divided into four tiers: the Peak Races, the Powerful Races, the Ordinary Races, and the Weak Races.
The Insectoid Alliance, led by the Peak Race of insectoids, united hundreds of Powerful Races and countless Ordinary Races to stand against the expansion of human civilization and protect their interests.
Aside from the Insectoid Alliance, there existed six or seven similar racial alliances, each centered around a Peak Race.
Of course, the Human Civilization, also known as the Human Civilization Alliance, had absorbed numerous foreign races into its fold.
"Foreign Battlefield C24763, significant spatial fluctuations detected, and a permanent spatial rift is present. This is attributed to a high-level Evolver wielding an ultimate weapon approximately a million years ago."
Lin Yuan was well-versed in the information regarding this particular foreign battlefield.
In the Xian Dao World, Lin Yuan dared not send his Yang Spirit or Yin Spirit into the Spirit Realm due to his lack of understanding about it, which would have posed immense risk.
Now that he had the coordinates of the Spirit Realm, he need not take such risks.
Other cultivators and demon practitioners yearned desperately to ascend to the Spirit Realm and were willing to pay any price for it.
That was because they had no other choice.
But Lin Yuan was different.
He had a plethora of options.
Even without the coordinates of the Spirit Realm, Lin Yuan had almost infinite alternatives.
"This will be the battlefield."
Lin Yuan had made his decision.
Traveling from the Chi Qiu Planet to Foreign Battlefield C24763 would take more than half a month, even with wormhole traversal.
Thus, Lin Yuan had to act swiftly.
"Wisdom Goddess, I wish to apply to go to Foreign Battlefield C24763."
Lin Yuan connected with the Wisdom Goddess, stating his request.
"Respected Sixth-Grade Citizen Lin Yuan, with your status, there is no need for you to engage in battles in foreign battlefields."
The voice of the Wisdom Goddess, usually solemn and cold, now carried a rare tone of persuasion.
Like the master of Chi Qiu Planet, she advised against Lin Yuan's decision to venture into a foreign battlefield, suggesting that if he must go, it would be best to send a clone instead.
"Rest assured, I will not be going there in person."
Lin Yuan explained.
"Respected Sixth-Grade Citizen Lin Yuan, please state your request."
Suddenly, a cold, hostile voice, laced with a hint of killing intent, intruded, contrasting sharply with the Wisdom Goddess's solemnity.
"It's the Freedom Goddess," Lin Yuan's heart stirred.
In the universe inhabited by the Human Civilization Alliance, there were three ultimate intelligent goddesses: the Wisdom Goddess, the Freedom Goddess, and the Justice Goddess.
Each goddess oversaw different domains. The Wisdom Goddess was in charge of civil affairs and was the goddess with whom Lin Yuan had the most interactions.
The Freedom Goddess, on the other hand, was responsible for war and aggression.
In simple terms, the Freedom Goddess managed and deployed forces across the over two million foreign battlefields currently occupied by the Human Civilization Alliance.
Since Lin Yuan wanted to visit a foreign battlefield, he would naturally have to connect with the Freedom Goddess for any subsequent arrangements.
"Conceal my identity, and allow me to act independently without being part of a squad."
Lin Yuan's identity as one of the thirteen peak masters of the Chi Qiu lineage meant that if he were to go to the foreign battlefield with this identity, even a small-scale battlefield would attract a swarm of seventh- and eighth-stage foreign powerhouses.
As for the power of a single Evolver in a squad, it was negligible in the foreign battlefield. To kill foreign powerhouses and earn merit points, it would usually take the combined efforts of several Evolvers of the same level.
This was why most Evolvers on the battlefield chose to band together in small teams.
However, Lin Yuan had no such need.
He had no intention of fighting to the death with foreign powerhouses.
"Respected Sixth-Grade Citizen Lin Yuan, your application has been approved, and your battlefield pass has been updated."
The Freedom Goddess's voice, cold and laced with killing intent, echoed.
The battlefield pass was of utmost importance. It served as proof of Lin Yuan's affiliation with the Human Civilization camp and granted him access to the territories controlled by the Human Alliance on the battlefield.
Without this pass, one was considered unaffiliated in the foreign battlefield, making them a target for both humans and foreign races.
"I'm almost ready."
With a slight stir of Lin Yuan's consciousness, a spaceship hundreds of meters long appeared before him.
The warship was pitch-black, sleek, and exuded a sense of advanced technology.
The universe was vast; traveling from the Chi Qiu home planet to Foreign Battlefield C24763, even at the speed of light, would take an incredibly long time.
Hence, humans typically traversed long distances through wormhole jumps aboard warships like these.
However, wormhole jumps required a cooldown period unless one was willing to pay a price for consecutive jumps.
Whoosh! A phantom figure emerged from Lin Yuan's body and quickly solidified into his Solar Yang Spirit.
"Go."
Lin Yuan looked at his Solar Yang Spirit, which smiled and walked into the spaceship.
Instantly, the spaceship activated and soared away from the Chi Qiu home planet.
As the most prosperous planet in its star domain, the Chi Qiu home planet bustled with countless incoming and outgoing spaceships and warships daily.
The small, unassuming spaceship that Lin Yuan's Yang Spirit boarded went unnoticed.
Whoosh! The pitch-black spaceship swiftly entered the star platform of the Chi Qiu home planet, ready to depart.
"I hope that improving my understanding of spatial rules on the Foreign Battlefield will be beneficial to me." Lin Yuan thought to himself.
By sending his Yang Spirit to the Foreign Battlefield, Lin Yuan not only wanted to quickly gain insight into the 965 types of spatial models but also intended to accelerate his comprehension of the subsequent 7,782 types of spatial models.
"Why do I have extra money in my account?" Lin Yuan returned to the main hall and casually checked his balance, only to find that it had increased by several billion civilization coins.
Several billion civilization coins were no small sum, even for a fifth or sixth-stage Evolver.
"Did someone reward me?" Lin Yuan checked the source of the coins and found that they came from 'rewards'.
"The videos I uploaded?" Lin Yuan then recalled that a few days ago, to make it easier for Martial Arts Evolvers to cultivate and spread the Martial Arts Evolution Path faster and wider, he had specially recorded some cultivation guidance videos.
With that in mind, Lin Yuan immediately logged into his 'Yuan' account to check the comments under the videos.
"Hmm?" Lin Yuan furrowed his brows.
Each video had over a hundred billion comments, and most of the commenters were not Evolvers of the Martial Arts Evolution Path.
"They're all urging me to update the second half of the third-stage guidance, as well as the fourth and fifth-stage guidance videos?" Lin Yuan scanned the comments and shook his head slightly.
It wasn't that easy to make this kind of cultivation guidance video.
It had nothing to do with Lin Yuan's depth of understanding of the Martial Arts Evolution Path.
Even if Lin Yuan understood it thoroughly, what use would it be if others couldn't comprehend his teachings?
Therefore, in making these videos, he had to use language that was as simple as possible and could be understood by ordinary Evolvers.
"The number of Martial Arts First Stage Evolvers has increased significantly?" Lin Yuan glanced at the real-time curve showing the number of Evolvers at each stage of the Martial Arts Evolution Path.
He found that from the day he released the videos, the number of Martial Arts First Stage Evolvers began to surge.
Moreover, the number of Martial Arts Second and Third Stage Evolvers had also increased considerably.
"Not bad, not bad at all." Lin Yuan nodded slightly.
The surge in the number of Martial Arts Evolvers not only meant that Lin Yuan's income would skyrocket but also that he would be accumulating a certain kind of 'foundation'.
And the latter was the more crucial aspect.
At the border of the Human Civilization in the universe.
The void twisted slightly.
A pitch-black spaceship appeared.
"Completed the 862nd wormhole traversal. Arriving at Foreign Battlefield C24763."
The voice of the smart assistant in the spaceship sounded in Lin Yuan's ear.
"We're at the battlefield?" Lin Yuan's Yang Spirit opened its eyes and looked forward.
It had taken a total of eighteen days to get from Chi Qiu Main Star to Foreign Battlefield C24763.
"So this is the Foreign Battlefield?" Lin Yuan's expression was slightly shocked.
In the distant void, a continent floated under the starry sky of the universe.
"Foreign Battlefield C24763 is shaped like a continent with a diameter of 0.2 light-years, or 20 trillion kilometers." Lin Yuan's mind flashed with specific information about Foreign Battlefield C24763.
The universe was vast, and planets were just the most common celestial bodies. Besides planets, there were countless other incredible celestial bodies in the depths of the universe.
Continental celestial bodies were not uncommon, and many foreign battlefields were located on such massive objects, their sizes measured in light-years.
"Where do I enter from?" Lin Yuan began to determine the direction.
Foreign Battlefield C24763 was too vast, and its surface was filled with a mist-like substance composed of a certain kind of cosmic energy.
When ordinary Evolvers entered this kind of battlefield, they would usually pick a random direction and figure out their exact location only after entering the battlefield.
"Let's go." Lin Yuan controlled the spaceship and flew in a certain direction.
On the outskirts of Foreign Battlefield C24763.
Several figures stood in a valley, exuding traces of eerie and dark auras—they were members of the Black Abyss Race from the Black Abyss.
The Black Abyss Race, born from the universe's secret realm, the Black Abyss, cultivated by absorbing and expelling the power of the Black Abyss.
Compared to normal cosmic energy, the power of the Black Abyss was sinister and bizarre, so the Black Abyss Race quickly established their footing when they came into contact with the outside universe.
They did not suffer the same fate as other races from secret realms, whose people were often enslaved and turned into playthings for the peak races.
Of course, The Black Abyss Race's success was also partly due to their timely allegiance to the Insectoid Alliance and their offering of the Black Abyss Race's treasure—the Black Abyss Heart.
Under the protection of the Insectoid Alliance, most races would not dare to harbor any designs on the Black Abyss Secret Realm.
"This spatial entrance was most likely created by an Eighth Stage powerhouse, or at least a Seventh Stage King proficient in spatial laws." The leader of the Black Abyss group stared at the slightly distorted space barrier in the corner of the valley.
The other members of the Black Abyss Race were also excited.
On the Foreign Battlefield, countless strong fighters clashed, and it was not uncommon for two powerful fighters to be severely injured and unable to return to their camps, forcing them to hide in a secluded location to recover.
However, instead of healing their wounds, they would often fall victim to the backlash of their injuries and die.
Of course, before dying, such a powerful fighter would definitely make preparations for their belongings.
It wouldn't be easy for outsiders to obtain the treasures and wealth left behind by its owner.
Take this spatial entrance, for example; to create a stable space, one would need a profound understanding of spatial rules, and for it to have endured for so long without collapsing, its creator must have comprehended at least 965 types of spatial foundation models.
This implied that the owner of this space was most likely a Seventh Stage King proficient in spatial laws or even an Eighth Stage powerhouse.
The fact that this might be the legacy of an Eighth Stage powerhouse excited the group of Black Abyss Race members.
As Sixth Stage powerhouses themselves, it was already quite restrained of them to maintain their sanity in the face of such a prospect.
"It was probably left by a Human Evolver," their leader, Wei Qing, said after observing the entrance for a while, his brows furrowed.
If this spatial entrance had been left by a member of the Black Abyss Race, an Eighth Stage powerhouse, they would have entered without hesitation.
Since they were of the same race, any traps left behind would be intended for members of other races. Naturally, they would hope for their legacy to fall into the hands of their own kin.
Thus, all the Black Abyss members needed to do was reveal their racial aura to claim the inheritance safely.
However, the Humans... the Humans were an enemy race. If they entered, they would undoubtedly trigger all sorts of countermeasures left by the space's creator, most likely an Eighth Stage powerhouse.
Even after countless years, the traps set by such a powerful being would still retain some of their original might.
"You go first." Wei Qing glanced at the others and spoke indifferently.
"Captain Wei Qing, I'm not the strongest here. Wouldn't it be unwise for me to enter a space left by someone of this caliber?" A Black Abyss member named Ran Fen looked at Wei Qing cautiously and tested the waters.
While the potential inheritance of an Eighth Stage powerhouse tempted him, he valued his life above all else.
As the first one in, he would undoubtedly face the greatest risk.
"Ran Fen, your combat strength may not be the highest, but your survival abilities are top-notch. If you enter and succeed, you'll get 30% of the rewards, as previously agreed upon," another Black Abyss member said.
"Alright."
"Captain Wei Qing, you heard that, right?" Ran Fen's teeth gleamed. In truth, he had no choice; even if he refused, Wei Qing would 'invite' him to enter anyway.
A moment later, Wei Qing's brows furrowed.
"He's dead." Wei Qing announced, his expression grim.
Soon after Ran Fen entered, they lost all contact with him, which could only mean one thing.
"Ran Fen's survival abilities are so strong that even a Seventh Stage powerhouse wouldn't be able to kill him so quickly, right?" The other Black Abyss members felt a sense of dread.
"This also means that this spatial entrance holds even greater value," Wei Qing said, his eyes gleaming.
The group had stumbled upon this place by accident while passing through the valley. They had only discovered the spatial entrance because they had planned to rest in the area.
The entrance was well-hidden, its aura concealed. One would have to be very close to detect any anomalies. Thus, it had remained undiscovered for so many years.
Foreign Battlefield C24763 was massive, with a diameter of 0.2 light-years, an unimaginable size compared to ordinary planets.
"What about you guys?" Wei Qing glanced at the remaining Black Abyss members.
"Captain Wei Qing, if even Ran Fen died, it's suicidal for us to go in. There's no need," the other Black Abyss members said, their voices filled with tension.
"I suppose you're right," Wei Qing agreed after a moment's thought.
He didn't particularly care about the lives of his companions. However, he wanted to ensure that he could obtain the treasures within the spatial entrance.
"Should we report this to the tribe?" Wei Qing asked, a hint of reluctance in his voice.
With the might of the Black Abyss tribe, they could undoubtedly send powerful members to retrieve all the treasures and legacies from the spatial entrance.
However, if they did that, Wei Qing would only get a small share. The tribe would take the lion's share.
"Hmm?"
Just then, Wei Qing seemed to sense something and looked up in a certain direction.
A pitch-black spaceship was flying toward them.
"Is it a Human Evolver?" Wei Qing immediately identified the ship's origins. There was no other option; the Black Abyss tribe lacked the technological prowess to create spaceships capable of wormhole travel. Thus, they rarely relied on spaceships for transportation.
"It's a Human?"
"Captain Wei Qing, we can capture this Human Evolver and force him to enter the spatial entrance," one of the Black Abyss members suggested.
"He's Human, and the one who left this spatial entrance is also Human. If a Human goes in, they're less likely to trigger any backlash. Once they obtain all the treasures and legacies, we can take them by force," another Black Abyss member added.
The rest of the group immediately agreed. This way, they wouldn't have to risk their lives exploring the space, nor would they need to report it to their tribe and give up a large portion of the rewards.
Captain Wei Qing's eyes lit up as he nodded, "Good idea."
He looked toward the approaching black spaceship, a smile forming on his face.
"Lady Luck smiles upon us."
