Chapter 243: Enlightenment of the Solar Rule (End of Chapter)
The news of the Galaxy Master's relentless pursuit and slaughter of unique life forms and solitary aliens continued to spread and ferment. Even though it was speculated that the targets of the Galaxy Master's pursuit were those who caused severe harm to the environment of the star domain or those who enjoyed feasting on the souls and flesh of living beings, it still struck fear into the hearts of the remaining unique life forms and solitary aliens.
"The Galaxy Master is too domineering," said one unique life form.
"Back then, the Red Leviathan Master was the same. When dealing with us unique life forms, he showed no mercy," added another.
"The Galaxy Master is establishing his dominance. Without these ruthless methods, how can he hope to rule this star domain completely in the future?" a solitary alien commented.
Outside the Flower God Clan, various unique life forms and solitary aliens discussed the situation.
While they lacked the 'virtual world' of human civilization for instant communication, they had their own means of exchanging information. As long as they were within the same star domain, basic communication was possible.
"So, what do we do now?" asked one of them.
"What else can we do? We submit, of course. Do you want to go against human civilization?" replied another.
"Everyone, don't rush to conclusions. The Galaxy Master's thorough cleansing indicates that he intends to control this star domain completely. We aliens have no choice but to submit, but Lord North Wind will not yield so easily," said a powerful unique life form.
"Lord North Wind," the others whispered, their voices filled with respect and awe.
The Galaxy Domain, once ruled by the Shadow Clan, was home to numerous unique life forms and solitary aliens.
Among these beings, there were no shortage of eighth-tier powerhouses, and Lord North Wind was undoubtedly the strongest of them all—an undisputed peak eighth-tier existence.
Lord North Wind belonged to the 'Golden Lion' clan, a powerful race in the universe. He had traveled the cosmos and arrived in this star domain to prepare for his breakthrough to the ninth tier.
Eighth-tier beings did not necessarily need to master a certain type of cosmic power or achieve invincibility at their level to advance to the ninth tier. As long as they reached the pinnacle of the eighth tier, they would have the potential to fuse with the rules and challenge the ninth tier.
Lord North Wind had attained this pinnacle. However, at his level, external forces could hardly aid him in taking that final step. Thus, most of his time was spent in seclusion, indifferent to the affairs of the outside world. He belonged to the second category of unique life forms and solitary aliens as classified by Lin Yuan.
"Lord North Wind is very powerful. I wonder if that Galaxy Master dares to provoke him?" one of the unique life forms asked.
"Very powerful? As powerful as the Red Leviathan Master? As powerful as human civilization?" another replied, emphasizing the might of their civilizations.
"Regardless, this is a matter between the Galaxy Master and Lord North Wind. We can only go with the flow," a solitary alien concluded after much discussion. Eventually, they dispersed, knowing that the outcome of any 'negotiations' between the Galaxy Master and Lord North Wind would have no bearing on their lives. The Galaxy Domain was destined to be ruled by the Galaxy Master.
"Can't I find peace and seclude myself even here?" a burly elder with golden hair and an aura that blended seamlessly with the stars asked. He sat cross-legged in the void, his presence extending for thousands of miles in every direction. "A human peerless genius, who reached the eighth tier before the age of a hundred, and now possesses eighth-tier pinnacle combat strength?"
This golden-haired elder was none other than Lord North Wind himself, an eighth-tier pinnacle existence.
"Unstoppable, unstoppable. I shall find another place," Lord North Wind sighed. With a step, he traversed thousands of miles, his body moving through space with ease.
The Golden Lion Clan, though not part of the Human Civilization Alliance, bore no significant grudge against it. Lord North Wind saw no reason to cross paths with the Galaxy Master.
The departure of the Galaxy Domain's strongest being left the unique life forms and solitary aliens in shock. They had assumed that with Lord North Wind's strength, even if he didn't dare to confront the Galaxy Master directly, he would at least negotiate and secure some benefits before leaving. Yet, he chose to leave without a second thought.
Galaxy Master's Planet.
"Golden Lion Clan, North Wind?" Lin Yuan immediately received news about an eighth-tier pinnacle alien expert voluntarily leaving.
"Cautious, it seems," Lin Yuan mused with a slight smile. Lord North Wind was indeed powerful, but he mostly kept to himself, having little influence on the outside world.
Lin Yuan hadn't planned to target him, but his cooperation made Lin Yuan feel pleased.
"Now, the entire Galaxy Domain has been mostly pacified. The rest will take care of itself," Lin Yuan thought to himself.
As the Galaxy Master, Lin Yuan's primary role was to deter and awe. By residing on the master planet and projecting his influence in all directions, he established his dominance. The development of the master planet and the domain was left to his subordinates.
Just like the Red Leviathan Master, who spent most of his time in seclusion or sleeping, the Red Leviathan Domain flourished under the management of the three goddesses. There was little need for Lin Yuan to intervene. The two eighth-tier aliens gifted to Lin Yuan by the Red Leviathan Master were meant to oversee the development of the master planet and the domain.
"Back to cultivating and enlightenment," Lin Yuan said as he closed his eyes. Whether on the Red Leviathan Master's planet or the current Galaxy Master's planet, most of his time was dedicated to cultivation and improvement.
In another palace.
Hong Pi, Bi Yan, Chun Bo, and Jia Li gathered together.
"Those aliens are surprisingly obedient. We invited them to come, and they just complied without daring to make any demands," Jia Li said, still astonished by the aliens' responses.
For the Galaxy Domain to prosper, stable trade channels needed to be established, especially on the master planet, where various 'merchants' would set up their businesses. The preferred choice for these 'merchant' roles was, of course, the indigenous aliens of the star domain, each possessing their unique skills and products, such as the Flower God Clan's 'Flower God Wine,' renowned throughout dozens of nearby star domains.
Usually, to invite these aliens to set up shop, some concessions would need to be made, such as offering 'rent-free' periods. However, before they could even bring up these proposals, the aliens were already cooperating, not daring to ask for anything in return.
"Hmph, after the Galaxy Master's cleansing, how dare they be disobedient?" Hong Pi and Bi Yan weren't surprised by the aliens' compliance.
The Red Leviathan Master, in his time, had been even more domineering than Lin Yuan. For their survival, the indigenous aliens had no choice but to fall in line.
However, as Hong Pi and Bi Yan, the two eighth-tier aliens, exchanged glances, a hint of awe still flashed in their eyes. What awed them wasn't the aliens' obedience but Lin Yuan's strength.
To assist Lin Yuan in controlling the Galaxy Domain as much as possible, they had prepared dozens of plans before their arrival. They intended to curry favor, offer generous benefits, and employ various strategies to gain influence over the Galaxy Domain quickly.
Yet, all their plans became redundant as Lin Yuan's absolute strength struck fear into the hearts of the aliens, rendering them compliant without any need for further persuasion.
The fact that Lin Yuan could easily keep them around didn't just rely on his combat strength but also on his well-rounded abilities with hardly any weaknesses.
Time passed.
In the blink of an eye, two months went by.
Lin Yuan sat with his legs crossed, slowly perfecting his martial arts evolution path.
Suddenly, on the Galaxy Master Planet, everyone felt a scorching wave of heat, as if a great sun was burning within them.
"Hmm?"
Chun Bo and Jia Li's expressions changed slightly.
They looked towards the source of the disturbance, which was the palace where the Galaxy Master cultivated.
In the void, light and heat filled the air, as if a great sun had fallen, and the palace seemed to have turned into a miniature star.
"It's a rule fluctuation, an manifestation of a fire-type rule!"
Hong Pi and Bi Yan's eyes lit up with excitement as they understood the significance of this phenomenon.
"A fire-type rule manifestation? Has the Galaxy Master comprehended some kind of fire-type rule?" Chun Bo and Jia Li exclaimed, their eyes widening in surprise.
Comprehending a rule, even an ordinary one, was a domain only accessible to Eighth-Tier pinnacle powerhouses.
While Lin Yuan had recently entered the Eighth Tier and possessed formidable battle prowess, his true realm was still that of the Eighth Tier.
Lin Yuan's Eighth-Tier pinnacle battle prowess could be attributed to his abnormal evolution path, a secret killing technique he mastered, or some other opportunity.
But comprehending a rule was something that depended solely on oneself. The Galaxy Master's comprehension of a fire-type rule indicated that he had completely mastered this aspect of his power.
"Star Master," Hong Pi and Bi Yan remained silent. They had spent a significant amount of time in Lin Yuan's internal world and knew that the Galaxy Master had already reached a profound level of understanding of space rules. Now, Lin Yuan had quietly comprehended a fire-type rule as well? Could it be that there truly were beings in this universe who could achieve so much in a mere hundred or a thousand years?
Deep within the palace.
Lin Yuan opened his eyes, a satisfied smile on his face.
"Solar Rule."
Lin Yuan raised his head slightly, and the endless light and heat from all directions converged towards him, forming a thumb-sized 'sun' imprint that eventually merged into his brow and disappeared.
"I didn't realize I would comprehend the Solar Rule so soon," Lin Yuan thought with satisfaction.
He had never deliberately tried to comprehend the Solar Rule.
It was just that during the process of perfecting his martial arts evolution path, his understanding of the Solar and Lunar Rules had naturally deepened.
The martial arts evolution path that Lin Yuan followed used the Yin-Yang-Taiji as its framework. As he improved his evolution path, the Solar and Lunar Rules advanced alongside it.
"The fact that I comprehended the Solar Rule so early is also related to the fact that the Chi Qiong lineage has collected many fire-type evolution paths," Lin Yuan mused to himself.
As one of the thirteen peak masters of the Chi Qiong lineage, Lin Yuan had naturally comprehended all the evolution paths they had collected.
The Chi Qiong lineage excelled in fire and space rules, after all, those were the paths walked by the Chi Qiong Star Master.
Thus, among the numerous evolution paths they possessed, fire and space were the most dominant.
As a result, Lin Yuan's understanding of the Solar Rule far surpassed that of the Lunar Rule, and now he had taken a step further by comprehending the Solar Rule.
The Solar Rule was the sublimation of fire-type rules, symbolizing endless light and heat.
The Eighth-Tier invincible Wan Yang Star Master from the Human Civilization Alliance had used the Solar Rule as his foundation to forge an undefeated path.
His signature move, 'Unity of Myriad Suns,' was still fresh in Lin Yuan's memory, and he had further refined it, creating a series of killing techniques based on the Solar Rule.
"With the comprehension of the Solar Rule, my battle prowess and the perfection of my martial arts evolution path have taken a big step forward," Lin Yuan thought with satisfaction.
"Moreover, my path integrates the Solar and Lunar Rules into the Yin-Yang-Taiji. Now that I've comprehended the Solar Rule, I'm also close to comprehending the Lunar Rule." Lin Yuan's thoughts turned inward as he considered his progress.
The nature of the Yin-Yang-Taiji meant that the Solar and Lunar Rules complemented each other. The strength of one would bolster the other, and vice versa.
Here, 'complement' did not refer to a boost in power but also extended to the comprehension of rules.
"Unfortunately, even if I comprehend both the Solar and Lunar Rules, the path to comprehending the complete Space Rule is still incredibly distant," Lin Yuan sighed as he turned his attention to the comprehension of the Space Rule. The number of core space models he had comprehended was still just over two thousand.
According to the Human Civilization's interpretation of the Space Rule, one had to comprehend seven thousand seven hundred and eighty-two core space models to truly grasp the Space Rule.
But comprehending that many core space models was an arduous task, as the Space Rule was one of the fundamental rules that underpinned the very nature of the universe.
Even a formidable existence like the Chi Qiong Star Master had not comprehended the complete set of core space models to master the Space Rule.
One could only imagine how challenging it was.
"Slow and steady," Lin Yuan thought to himself. "I'm still young and have plenty of time for comprehension."
Thanks to his heaven-defying comprehension talent, Lin Yuan had rarely encountered any significant bottlenecks in his path of rule comprehension.
Even something as vast as the Space Rule would eventually yield to him given enough time.
If not for his current realm being insufficient, Lin Yuan would have even attempted to comprehend the Time Rule.
"But what would happen if I were to integrate the Lunar Rule with the Solar Rule?" Lin Yuan frowned slightly.
Integrating a fundamental rule, such as space, time, or life, with an ordinary rule was one of the prerequisites for advancing from the Eighth Tier to the Ninth Tier.
However, neither the Lunar Rule nor the Solar Rule was a fundamental rule. If they were to integrate, would they form the Yin-Yang-Taiji Rule?
Up to this point, Lin Yuan had never heard of such a rule.
Taiji was merely Lin Yuan's definition of the integration of Yin and Yang.
The Solar and Lunar Rules had to be merged in a specific fixed proportion; any deviation would result in failure. Only with this precise ratio could the ultimate Yin-Yang-Taiji be formed.
Before fully comprehending the Yin-Yang-Taiji Rule, the integration of the Solar and Lunar Rules would not be complete, and the rules would not come into full contact, hence the lack of any noticeable changes.
"There's no point in thinking about this now. I'll figure it out when I comprehend the Lunar Rule," Lin Yuan closed his eyes and continued his cultivation.
With the complete Solar Rule to complement it, Lin Yuan's comprehension of the Lunar Rule accelerated.
As Lin Yuan immersed himself in cultivation, the Galaxy Domain was rapidly developing.
Outside the Galaxy Master Planet, in the vast cosmic starry sky, two figures quietly appeared.
"The main star of the Galaxy Domain," the two figures appeared side by side, one male and one female, gazing at the massive planet below.
