Chapter 239: Paying Respects to the Galaxy Master (Seeking Subscription)
"The Galaxy Master?"
Blood-red Octopus Ao Du thought carefully, then shook his head and said, "Haven't heard of it."
As the pinnacle race, the Human Civilization was well-known, and Ao Du had heard of most of the famous eighth-tier evolvers, especially the invincible eighth-tier powerhouses like Wanyang Star Master and Jiujian Star Master.
But the Galaxy Master?
This was the first time Ao Du had heard the name.
"Of course you haven't heard of him." The Massive Meat Mountain glanced at Ao Du. "This Galaxy Master is a newly advanced eighth-tier evolver, and his teacher is Chi Kun Star Master."
"Chi Kun Star Master?"
Ao Du's eyes lit up at the mention of this name.
Each of the eighth-tier invincibles possessed a unique cosmic power, especially Chi Kun Star Master, whose battle prowess was renowned throughout the universe.
Even if one hadn't seen him in person, one would surely have heard of his legendary might.
"This Galaxy Master is quite famous. He advanced to the eighth tier before the age of a hundred, making him the top genius of this generation in Human Civilization."
The Massive Meat Mountain was privy to a lot of information about Human Civilization, or rather, one didn't need inside information to know about the Thirteen Peak Masters.
"An eighth-tier at under a hundred years old?"
Ao Du's eyes shone with envy. "Most evolvers in Human Civilization are like ants, but there are a few with talents that truly make me jealous."
As a special life form, Ao Du the Blood-red Octopus had reached the fifth tier upon maturity and soon after entered the sixth tier with minimal cultivation. However, it had taken him countless years to attain the eighth tier.
In contrast, those top human geniuses had reached his level in just a hundred or a few hundred years.
Of course, as a special life form, Ao Du's combat strength was superior to that of a human evolver of the same tier.
But the gap between them wasn't significant.
Below the eighth tier, human evolvers would be crushed by special life forms of the same tier.
However, after reaching the eighth tier and establishing an inner world, human evolvers underwent a qualitative change, and they no longer feared most special life forms of the same tier.
"I'm just reminding you to be careful in the near future. Human Civilization is not as easy to deal with as the Shadow Tribe." The Massive Meat Mountain said, "It's best to reduce the frequency of devouring life planets. Human Civilization values planets quite a bit."
"Hmph, I am, after all, an eighth-tier special life form from the Star Alliance. How could this Galaxy Master of the Human Civilization cause me trouble over a mere few planets?"
Ao Du snorted coldly.
In truth, he had already intended to heed the Massive Meat Mountain's suggestion and lie low for a while.
At the very least, he needed to figure out the Galaxy Master's temperament. If he was as lenient as the Shadow Tribe had been, then life would continue to be comfortable.
"The Star Alliance?"
The Massive Meat Mountain shook his head.
The Star Alliance was a force formed by various special life forms uniting to resist the Human Civilization Alliance and the Bug Tribe Alliance.
Special life forms were few in number and couldn't form large tribes like humans and bugs. To counter them, they had no choice but to band together.
Even so, the number of members in the Star Alliance wasn't impressive, and most of them were scattered across the universe.
"Is our star domain about to welcome a new master? Named the Galaxy Master? Will this star domain also be renamed the Galaxy Star Domain?"
"This Galaxy Master has an impressive background. He is the disciple of Chi Kun Star Master and a peerless genius of Human Civilization."
"I hope this Galaxy Master will treat us like the Shadow Tribe did. That would be nice."
"It's unclear. Each Star Master of Human Civilization has a different temperament. If the Galaxy Master is friendly towards us, it will naturally be a good thing."
"Although we don't know the Galaxy Master's personality, he is very young and shouldn't have any murderous intentions."
Within the Galaxy Star Domain, various special life form tribes and reclusive solitary aliens whispered among themselves.
They had gotten along well with the Shadow Tribe, who had given up many benefits to keep them content.
Now that the star domain had changed hands to a new master from Human Civilization, these tribes and solitary aliens were naturally anxious, unsure of what the future held for them.
These solitary aliens and special life form tribes had settled in this place for countless years, and naturally, they didn't want to migrate if they could help it.
This was why they hadn't left even after the Shadow Tribe's retreat.
As long as the new master of the star domain didn't target them, everything would be fine.
Red Kun Main Star.
Lin Yuan exited the grand hall and boarded the A-grade spaceship, preparing to head to the Galaxy Star Domain.
"From today onwards, I shall name you 'Galaxy'."
Lin Yuan set his destination as the 'Galaxy Star Domain' and left the rest to the spaceship's auto-pilot.
With Galaxy's main control intelligence, Lin Yuan could almost completely relax during the journey as it chose the optimal route.
"Owner, starting from now, it will take five years to reach the Galaxy Star Domain." A sweet voice echoed in Lin Yuan's ear, belonging to Galaxy's main control intelligence.
"Five years?"
"Affirmative."
Lin Yuan nodded.
Without this spaceship, it would take at least two decades to reach their destination on a standard spaceship.
Not only could Galaxy traverse wormholes, covering vast distances, but the cooldown period between wormhole jumps was also short.
Whoosh!
Galaxy transformed into a black lightning bolt, instantly arriving at the stargazing platform of the Red Kun Main Star before shooting towards the depths of the universe.
Finally, space rippled gently, and the spaceship performed a wormhole jump.
Inside the Galaxy.
Lin Yuan sat cross-legged.
Five years might seem like a short time to other evolvers, but to Lin Yuan, it was an extremely precious cultivation period.
With his heaven-defying comprehension, five years was more than enough for him to make significant progress.
It was worth mentioning that this was in the main world, not a traversed world.
While Lin Yuan had ample time in the traversed worlds, he lacked the many conveniences of the main world.
For example, the spatial origin of the alien battlefield, which was constantly fluctuating, could greatly benefit Lin Yuan's understanding of the spatial core model.
There was also the piece of the strongest being's body that he had obtained from the Devil Jade Tower in the virtual world.
Of course, the traversed worlds had their advantages too, and each had its merits.
Inner World.
A vast expanse, nearly thirty thousand miles in radius.
When Lin Yuan had first entered the eighth tier, his inner world had explosively expanded to twenty-five thousand miles in radius.
But through cultivation and a deeper understanding of spatial rules, the expansion of his inner world had become more evident.
Now, it had reached a radius of twenty-eight thousand miles.
Southeast corner of the inner world.
Red Skin and Green Eyes, two eighth-tier aliens, stood with dull eyes.
Ever since they had been brought here by Lin Yuan, they hadn't stopped being shocked.
Wasn't it said that the Thirteen Peak Masters had just entered the eighth tier?
How could their inner world be so vast at the initial stages of the eighth tier?
Red Skin and Green Eyes exchanged a glance, their mouths dry.
Normally, the inner world of an eighth-tier evolver in the initial stages would only be a hundred miles in radius.
As they continued to cultivate and deepen their understanding of spatial rules, their inner world would gradually expand.
But Lin Yuan...
Red Skin and Green Eyes, both eighth-tier aliens, swallowed their saliva. One was at the mid-eighth tier while the other was at the late-eighth tier, yet their inner worlds combined weren't even a third of Lin Yuan's at the early-eighth tier.
It was simply inconceivable.
"I finally understand why the Star Master told us to follow the Peak Master when he said that."
After a moment of silence, Red Skin spoke with a dry voice.
Red Skin and Green Eyes found this a little strange. As Lin Yuan was only at the initial stages of the eighth tier, his mission in going to the fringe star domain was to preside over it, and their task was to protect his safety, was it not?
Now it seemed that Lin Yuan, who had just entered the eighth tier, did not need their protection at all.
Judging from the size of his inner world, Lin Yuan's strength was enough to easily crush the two of them.
The two eighth-tier aliens pondered this new revelation. Their task in following Lin Yuan was probably to help him handle trivial matters so that he wouldn't waste his precious time on such things.
"Perverted, too perverted," Red Skin muttered.
"How could there be such a perverted human in the Human Civilization?" Green Eyes added.
"To be comparable to the peak of the eighth tier right after entering it... even those rare special life forms probably couldn't do that, right?" Red Skin continued.
"Perhaps this is why the Human Civilization is able to become one of the peak races?" Green Eyes mused softly.
The history of the Human Civilization was not long, only about two million years. But within this short span of time, the Human Civilization had soared to become one of the peak races that ruled over the stars, and that was because they had produced genius after genius.
These geniuses were not just talented in evolution, but in all sorts of fields.
Time passed.
In the blink of an eye, five years went by.
Galaxy Star Domain. A black cosmic warship emerged from a wormhole.
"Owner, we have arrived at the Galaxy Star Domain," a sweet voice echoed in Lin Yuan's ear, the main control intelligence of the Galaxy.
"Finally here," Lin Yuan murmured as he slowly opened his eyes.
He gazed out of the spaceship's window, taking in the sight of the star domain before him.
A vast expanse of stars hung in the sky like a silver river, dazzling and beautiful.
"Five years," Lin Yuan said with a hint of emotion. These five years had brought him tremendous improvements in various aspects.
First was his insight into the core space model. At this point, Lin Yuan had already comprehended 2,092 types of core space models.
It was worth noting that there were only 7,782 types of core space models in total. To comprehend 2,000 types was equivalent to completing a quarter of them.
Even Chi Kun Star Master had not fully comprehended all the core space models.
Once one comprehended all the core space models, it was equivalent to mastering the complete spatial rules, and the vast universe would be theirs to traverse.
Next was the progress he had made in the eighth tier of the martial arts evolution path. If the eighth tier were divided into ten stages, Lin Yuan had already almost completed the second stage. It was important to know that any eighth-tier evolution path was crucial and determined whether one could become an Evolution Grand Master.
The eighth tier of the martial arts evolution path was especially challenging. To reach the second stage in just five years—if the Evolution Grand Masters were to hear about this, they would probably fall into a state of depression.
Even for an Evolution Grand Master, it wouldn't be easy to start from scratch and create an eighth-tier evolution path. It would require a lot of time and energy, and one might still not gain the recognition of the three goddesses.
"I've already comprehended over eleven thousand evolution paths, but I'm still just an ordinary member of the Magic Jade Tower?" Lin Yuan thought to himself.
Over the past five years, Lin Yuan had spent segments of time studying that piece of the body. After reaching the eighth tier, his realm had improved significantly, and even though he still had to endure the mental willpower pressure, his speed of comprehension had definitely increased.
In just five short years, Lin Yuan had comprehended another seven thousand evolution paths, and this was with him only allocating a portion of his time to it.
Otherwise, there would have been even more.
"Never mind," Lin Yuan thought. "I'll just continue to comprehend."
"Whether I'm an ordinary or core member doesn't matter. What's important is to increase my own strength."
"Boundary-breaking Source Power... I've finally accumulated fifteen strands of it," Lin Yuan sensed, feeling a smile spread across his face as he perceived the 'boundary-breaking source power' within the depths of his mind, in front of the majestic Myriad Worlds Gate.
For Lin Yuan, the more boundary-breaking source power he had, the better. This not only meant more teleportation opportunities but also the strongest self-preservation ability.
Because—
By consuming fifty strands of boundary-breaking source power, one could teleport physically.
Physical teleportation meant that one's physical body could descend upon the traversed worlds.
This method of teleportation had its advantages and disadvantages.
The disadvantage was that if one died in a traversed world, they might truly die.
The advantage was that any improvements made in the traversed world would synchronize with one's physical body.
Additionally, one could also use physical teleportation to evade pursuers from the main world, as the traversed worlds chosen by the Myriad Worlds Gate were not in the same dimension or plane as the main world.
Lin Yuan could just hide in one of those worlds, and even the strongest pursuers would be left helpless and watching.
"Let's go."
"Head directly to the main star."
Lin Yuan commanded 'Galaxy'.
Whoosh!
Galaxy transformed into a black lightning bolt once more, disappearing into the vastness of space.
Galaxy Main Star.
This was a high-level life planet.
Ever since Lin Yuan was appointed Galaxy Star Master and this planet was designated as the main star of the Galaxy Star Domain, nearby human official evolvers had arrived in advance to perform a B-grade modification on the planet.
In addition, there was also a large army of human evolvers stationed here. This army had been left behind specifically after the Human Civilization took control of this star domain, to act as the left and right arms of the previous Star Master.
"The Star Master should be arriving soon, so stay alert," a man wearing a gorgeous purple robe said to the evolvers in the air above the Galaxy Main Star.
Standing next to him was a man with golden hair, and behind them were countless evolvers.
The army of evolvers was mostly comprised of fifth-tier evolvers, with hundreds of sixth-tier evolvers commanding them, and the two seventh-tier evolvers, Purple Robe and Gold Hair, acting as the leaders.
"Our Star Master sure is rich, directly modifying the main star to a B-grade level," Gold Hair said in a low voice.
Usually, newly advanced eighth-tier evolvers were quite poor. When they went to a star domain to take up the position of Star Master, they would choose the free C-grade modification.
A B-grade modification required 100,000 universe crystals, which was basically equivalent to the entire assets of a senior eighth-tier evolver, including their weapons and treasures.
"Our Star Master is an unparalleled genius who reached the eighth tier before the age of a hundred. His teacher is Chi Kun Star Master. Just the gifts he received during his eighth-tier celebration are estimated to be more than 100,000 universe crystals. How can an ordinary eighth-tier Star Master compare?" Purple Robe glanced at Gold Hair and said.
"Indeed," Gold Hair nodded, his face filled with awe.
When he had first heard that the Galaxy Star Master was one of the Thirteen Peak Masters of Chi Kun Star Domain, he had been shocked for a long time. This was a peerless genius of the Human Civilization.
"Alright," Purple Robe said. "The Star Master has arrived."
As if sensing something, Purple Robe's expression changed slightly as he looked forward.
Space began to ripple, and a streamlined black cosmic warship appeared silently.
"Paying respects to the Galaxy Star Master," Purple Robe and Gold Hair bowed together.
"Paying respects to the Galaxy Star Master!" the huge army of evolvers behind them shouted in unison as they knelt.
