Chapter 238: A Unique Race of Beings
Chapter 238: A Unique Race of Beings (End of Chapter)
"Alright." The voice echoed, "You don't need to tell me about your conversations with the strongest beings."
"The reason I've called you here is to prepare you for your upcoming role as the overseer of a stellar domain." Chi Qiu, the Star Master, looked down at Lin Yuan and spoke. As a teacher seeing his disciple off on a distant journey to preside over a far-flung stellar domain, it was only natural that he would offer some assistance.
"Your strength far surpasses that of your senior brother, so I'm not worried in that regard." A smile appeared on Chi Qiu's face. To reach the Eighth Stage at such a young age and possess combat prowess nearing the late Eighth Stage or even its peak was a feat that very few in the Annan Star Alliance could boast. If you considered their age as well, the number of such individuals in the Human Civilization Alliance could be counted on one hand.
Chi Qiu was unaware that Lin Yuan's true mental age exceeded a thousand years, nor did he know that the evolutionary path Lin Yuan had walked was one that he had forged himself from nothing. Compared to the age of a thousand years, the fact that he had forged his own martial arts evolutionary path was even more inconceivable. This was why Xia Qin, the evolutionary expert, had ranked Lin Yuan as one of the top ten geniuses in the history of human civilization.
"However, in an unfamiliar stellar domain, strength alone may not be enough. You'll also need trustworthy subordinates." Chi Qiu's thoughts stirred, and two figures appeared in the distance.
These two figures had distinct appearances: one had reddish-brown skin, while the other had pointed ears and emerald-green eyes. They were clearly not human evolvers.
"Star Master." The two figures bowed slightly to Chi Qiu.
"From today onwards, you will follow my disciple." Chi Qiu pointed to Lin Yuan and spoke. "Yes."
The two figures approached Lin Yuan.
"Them?" Lin Yuan's expression changed slightly as he sensed their power up close. These two beings were Eighth Stage powerhouses, and not merely at the early Eighth Stage—they were far more formidable.
"These two are my servants; they are not human evolvers. The one with the reddish skin is called Hong Pi, and he is at the mid-eighth stage. The one with the green eyes is called Lui Yan, and he is at the late eighth stage."
"They are absolutely loyal."
"With their assistance, you won't find yourself stretched too thin in the fringe stellar domain." Chi Qiu spoke casually.
"Master, this is too precious." Lin Yuan's expression turned solemn. To have two loyal Eighth Stage non-humans as subordinates was an incredible boon. He couldn't even begin to describe how he felt. In terms of merit points, these two Eighth Stage beings were worth a combined two million points.
However, their actual value far exceeded that. A living Eighth Stage non-human, if left on the non-human battlefield for tens of millions of years, could accumulate merit points that would eventually surpass a million. And that didn't include any other income or gains they might acquire.
"Why are you being so polite with me?" Chi Qiu glared at Lin Yuan. "Do you think I need their service at my current level?"
"But..." Lin Yuan hesitated.
While it was true that Chi Qiu, as an invincible Eighth Stage being, didn't need subordinates of their caliber, it didn't diminish their value. Even without a master, these two Eighth Stage non-humans could amass a vast fortune for Chi Qiu if they were deployed on the battlefield. To have two such beings working for him was an extravagant luxury.
"No more buts. Just take them." Chi Qiu waved his hand dismissively. "Return now. If you have any questions or problems, you can contact me through the virtual world."
"Thank you, Master." Lin Yuan bowed deeply to Chi Qiu.
Although Lin Yuan had his yin and yang avatars, his yin avatar needed to remain in the permanent spatial rift of the non-human battlefield to accelerate the accumulation of his Boundary Breaking Source Power. Meanwhile, his yang avatar would stay in Chi Qiu's main world as a safeguard.
Relying solely on his physical body, Lin Yuan would face limitations in the fringe stellar domain. But with these two Eighth Stage subordinates, many tasks could be accomplished with a simple instruction.
Thirteen Peaks.
Lin Yuan sat cross-legged. Hong Pi and Lui Yan, the two Eighth Stage non-humans, stood before him.
"Introduce yourselves," Lin Yuan instructed.
"Peak Master, my name is Hong Pi," the reddish-skinned non-human spoke up. "My strength is at the mid-eighth stage. I cultivate the rules of fire and space, and my internal world spans nine thousand and eight hundred li."
"Peak Master, my name is Lui Yan," the non-human with emerald-green eyes continued. "I am at the late eighth stage and specialize in the Life Rule. My internal world covers an area of three thousand and two hundred li. Peak Master, if your soul hasn't completely collapsed, I may not be able to save you, but I can at least ensure that you won't die for a short period."
"Life Rule?" Lin Yuan gave Lui Yan a second glance.
The Life Rule was one of the fundamental rules of the universe, standing alongside the Space Rule and the Time Rule. At present, Lin Yuan's understanding of the Life Rule was only slightly more advanced than a beginner's level.
"I understand." Lin Yuan nodded.
"Usually, you'll stay in my internal world." Lin Yuan swept his gaze over the two non-humans, and with a slight stir of his thoughts, he drew them into his internal world.
Within his internal world, Lin Yuan was akin to a creator deity, capable of effortlessly wielding the power of an entire world.
"My teacher has really helped me out this time," Lin Yuan thought to himself.
With Hong Pi and Lui Yan as his assistants, Lin Yuan felt a great weight lifted from his shoulders. Establishing a stellar domain and ruling over billions upon billions of citizens was no easy task, and having two capable helpers would make his life infinitely easier.
Half a day later...
"Master, your customized A-grade spaceship has arrived." The intelligent assistant's voice sounded in Lin Yuan's ear.
"The spaceship has arrived?" Lin Yuan's spirit stirred.
The spaceships Lin Yuan had purchased in the past were all standard models, with performance that could only be considered passable. Their wormhole traversal capabilities, in terms of both distance and cooldown time, paled in comparison to B-grade and A-grade spaceships.
Of course, Lin Yuan hadn't paid much attention to spaceship performance back then, as it was usually his yin and yang avatars that traveled in them. As long as they could get him from one place to another, that was sufficient.
But now, as he was about to embark on a journey to the fringe stellar domain in his physical body, he needed a high-quality spaceship.
Such spaceships not only offered superior speed but also provided an excellent means of escape in dangerous situations.
Lin Yuan stepped out of the hall and immediately saw a black spaceship hovering nearby.
From the outside, it looked no different from the standard models, but the aura it exuded caused the surrounding air to tremble subtly. The spaceship was only 500 meters in size, and its surface was etched with intricate patterns—manifestations of the rules of the universe, designed to enhance the spaceship's speed and wormhole traversal capabilities.
"Excellent." Lin Yuan's heart stirred with pleasure. The spaceship was forged entirely from red copper gold, a material that could withstand attacks from ordinary Eighth Stage powerhouses without breaking.
It could initiate wormhole traversal in as little as twelve seconds, an impressive feat.
"Eight thousand cosmic crystals..." Lin Yuan couldn't help but marvel at the value of the spaceship.
As the ruler of a stellar domain, he couldn't very well travel in a standard spaceship. An A-grade spaceship would serve him well for a long time.
In human civilization, spaceships were the most common mode of transportation, even for Ninth Stage evolvers who had comprehended the complete core space model and mastered large-scale teleportation techniques. Unless it was an emergency, they would still opt for spaceships.
"It's about time to set off." Lin Yuan thought to himself.
"Yang Shen." With a slight stir of his consciousness, a illusory figure appeared before him.
The figure solidified and stood face-to-face with Lin Yuan.
"From now on, you will reside here permanently," Lin Yuan instructed, gazing at his Yang Spirit.
"And this drop of essence blood as well." Lin Yuan left behind a drop of his essence blood.
Due to his physical body's divine ability, 'Reincarnation from a Drop of Blood', Lin Yuan had complete control over every drop of his essence blood, as each drop contained fragments of his soul's true spirit and consciousness.
"As I embark on my journey to preside over the Galaxy Star Domain, which treasures should I bring with me?" Lin Yuan began to ponder.
First and foremost, he had the 'Divine God-Pacifying Pearl' bestowed upon him by the pinnacle existence, Xia Qin.
This treasure was Lin Yuan's ultimate life-saving card in front of a pinnacle existence, and he intended to keep it with him at all times.
"The eighth-stage soul-defending treasure, the Water Droplet."
"And the eighth-stage armor as well."
After some deliberation, Lin Yuan decided to bring these two items as well.
He had always placed great importance on soul defense.
"The Origin Essence Gold."
With a stir of his consciousness, a 'bell-shaped' weapon appeared before Lin Yuan.
This 'bell-shaped' weapon was only the size of a palm, but the aura it exuded was even more formidable than that of the eighth-stage soul-defensing treasure.
"I guess I won't be bringing this one." Lin Yuan shook his head slightly.
Firstly, he had just advanced to the eighth stage, and the Origin Essence Gold needed time to incubate before it could catch up with his current realm and strength.
Secondly, with the protection provided by the eighth-stage soul-defending treasure, the eighth-stage armor, and the 'Demon Jade Seal', Lin Yuan believed that his defense had already reached the pinnacle of what was possible at this stage.
Even when facing an invincible eighth-stage existence, he would be able to withstand several attacks and wouldn't perish from a single soul attack like Ouyin had.
Unknowingly, Lin Yuan had already surpassed Ouyin, the late eighth-stage evolutionary from a million years ago, in every aspect.
For now, the Origin Essence Gold didn't offer much of an improvement to Lin Yuan's strength, and it certainly wouldn't bring about a 'qualitative change'.
Whether he brought it or not wouldn't make much of a difference.
"What's the current situation in the Galaxy Star Domain?"
Lin Yuan opened up the relevant information and began to browse through it carefully.
The Galaxy Star Domain used to belong to the 'Shadow Tribe'.
While the Shadow Tribe wasn't a pinnacle race, they were one of the most powerful races just below that level, and their influence far surpassed that of the Black Abyss Tribe.
After defeating the Shadow Tribe on the battlefield, Human Civilization gained control over a vast expanse of territory, including the Galaxy Star Domain that Lin Yuan was about to preside over.
Within the Galaxy Star Domain, aside from the Shadow Tribe, there also existed several unique lifeforms and powerful solitary alien experts.
These unique lifeforms and solitary alien experts either occupied a cosmic secret realm or dominated several stellar systems.
During the time of the Shadow Tribe's rule, they had maintained a peaceful relationship with these unique lifeforms and solitary alien experts, with neither side infringing upon the other.
Now that the Shadow Tribe had been driven out, the entire Galaxy Star Domain had fallen under the control of Human Civilization, and it was up to Lin Yuan to decide how to deal with these unique lifeforms and solitary alien experts.
"Nine unique lifeform tribes and thirteen solitary alien experts?" Lin Yuan perused the information, noting that these tribes and individuals had not displayed any hostile behavior towards Human Civilization thus far.
"How should I handle them?"
Lin Yuan was well aware that the Shadow Tribe must have found these tribes and individuals troublesome in some way, which was why they had chosen to leave them be instead of dealing with them directly.
It was highly likely that these unique lifeform tribes or solitary alien experts possessed either formidable strength or intricate backgrounds that made the Shadow Tribe wary of taking action against them.
"I'll see how they behave when the time comes," Lin Yuan mused to himself, his mind made up.
On the fringes of Human Civilization's territory lay a vast star domain.
Here, a colossal figure was devouring planets one after another without restraint.
"How delightful!"
"Everything in this universe is meant to be our food."
"In the past, those Shadow Tribe members kept a tight rein on things, and I had to be cautious. Now that they've been defeated and retreated from this star domain, all these planetary resources are mine for the taking!"
This colossal figure resembled an octopus, its entire body a bloody red color. With countless tentacles, it would embrace a planet, and within just a few days, the entire planet would be devoured and absorbed into its body.
"It's a pity that these resource planets are somewhat difficult to digest. If only they were life planets..."
The bloody octopus's heart stirred at the thought.
A life planet was home to at least several billion lives, and the thought of consuming so many lives at once caused the bloody octopus's heart to palpitate with excitement.
"Let's have a look."
"Hopefully, I can find a few indigenous life planets."
The bloody octopus extended its immense perception in all directions.
While the Shadow Tribe had retreated, taking their people with them, such a vast star domain would undoubtedly contain many planets that they hadn't discovered yet.
Perhaps there were life planets among them.
Several months later...
The bloody octopus had devoured several life planets to its heart's content.
Countless lives had been transformed into nourishment for the bloody octopus, causing it to tremble with pleasure.
"Hahahaha!"
"I'll digest these for a while."
The bloody octopus returned to a massive planet, its lair. This was where it usually cultivated or rested.
The colossal figure swiftly shrunk, transforming into a being with dozens of arms.
"Ao Du, you're back?" On the other side of the massive planet, a spiritual wave emanated from a colossal mountain of flesh.
This mountain of flesh was a unique lifeform that had a good relationship with the bloody octopus, and they often interacted with each other.
"How many planets did you devour this time?" the mountain of flesh asked casually.
"Around a dozen or so. But those resource planets are tough to digest, so I secretly devoured a few life planets as well. The feeling is just..."
The bloody octopus spoke with a pleased tone.
"Life planets?" The mountain of flesh was also tempted.
"Wait until I finish digesting these, and then I'll accompany you to devour those life planets," the bloody octopus said.
It possessed a unique talent that allowed it to detect the locations of numerous planets in the surrounding area. Otherwise, it would have been nearly impossible to find life planets in the vast expanse of space.
"Never mind."
"Ao Du, you should also be more discreet from now on," the mountain of flesh advised.
"Discreet? Why should I be discreet?" The bloody octopus was puzzled.
"This star domain used to belong to the Shadow Tribe, and you should know who they handed it over to, right?" The mountain of flesh said, "I received news that the Galaxy Star Master from Human Civilization will be arriving here soon to preside over this star domain."
"Which Star Master?" the bloody octopus asked.
The mountain of flesh replied, "The Galaxy Star Master."
Only one day was left in this month.
