Chapter 244: The Gray Gourd
Chapter 244: The Gray Gourd (End of Chapter)
The man and woman before him exuded powerful auras, clearly indicating their status as eighth-tier Evolvers. The man stood tall, his pupils a striking sky blue, a sign of his extraordinary bloodline. The woman, clad in a pale white robe, exuded a profound aura, with subtle silver patterns adorning her forehead.
"This planet used to be a strategic planet for the Shadow Clan, controlling this star domain from afar. But now, it has become the main planet of our human civilization." The man exclaimed.
"To be precise, it's the main star of the Milky Way Star Domain. That Milky Way Star Master is incredibly wealthy and has directly transformed this planet with a B-grade modification." The woman added with a smile.
It was a well-known fact that the Milky Way Star Master had immense financial resources. After all, a hundred thousand units of universe crystals were no small sum, even for peak eighth-tier Evolvers.
If Lin Yuan wasn't a top genius of human civilization and an eighth-tier Evolver before the age of a hundred, it would have been impossible to gather such a vast amount, even with an eighth-tier celebration.
Those major forces and solitary Evolvers weren't fools. If Lin Yuan were an ordinary Evolver, they wouldn't even bother celebrating, much less offer lavish gifts. Even considering Red Kunlun Star Master's face, they would do the bare minimum.
"This Milky Way Star Master is truly extraordinary. He's not only wealthy but also possesses astonishing strength. Soon after taking office, he purged the special lives and solitary aliens within the star domain. There's blood of at least six or seven eighth-tier aliens on his hands." The male Evolver said, hesitating slightly, "But I don't know if he will allow us to follow him."
"And this Milky Way Star Master is very young. He's not even a hundred years old yet, and we want to follow him voluntarily." The man continued, expressing his true thoughts.
In the vast universe of the Ten Thousand Races, it was only natural for the weak to follow the strong. However, they were both several tens of thousands of years old, and now they wanted to follow a 'kid' who wasn't even a hundred yet?
In the Human Civilization Alliance, as well as other races, once the decision to follow someone was made, it was irreversible. From then on, their fates would be intertwined, no matter what happened.
"Lu Ran, you're paying too much attention to face, and you're missing out on a great opportunity." The woman beside him shook her head slightly. "The Milky Way Star Master is very young now, which is the perfect time for us to follow him. Otherwise, with the Star Master's cultivation speed, by the time he's a few thousand or even a few tens of thousands of years old, he'll be an undefeated eighth-tier, or even a ninth-tier Evolver. If we try to follow him then, I doubt he'll accept us."
"Let's take this opportunity while others are still hesitating. Even if we don't gain any benefits, we'll at least have a higher status than those who follow later." The woman had considered all the possibilities.
Face? Only the weak cared about face.
"You're right." Lu Ran nodded in agreement.
He, too, understood the difference between helping someone in need and adding flowers to an already flourishing garden.
Now that the Milky Way Star Master had recently entered the eighth tier and taken over a star domain, their decision to follow him could be of actual help. It could be considered as helping someone in need.
"As followers, we must obey the Milky Way Star Master's orders. Otherwise, even if the Star Master kills us, the Three Goddesses won't intervene." Lu Ran stated.
"To gain something, you must give something in return. It's unreasonable to expect benefits without taking any risks." The woman immediately flew towards the Milky Way Main Star, and Lu Ran quickly followed suit.
They landed swiftly on the platform of the Milky Way Main Star.
Rumble!
The planet's defense system released a vast wave of energy, enveloping them in an oppressive aura.
A B-grade modified planetary defense system was capable of instantly suppressing the majority of eighth-tier powerhouses.
"What brings you two eighth-tiers here?" A being with reddish-brown skin emerged, eyeing them cautiously.
"Eighth-tier?" The man and woman were surprised, as they had assumed they would be the first eighth-tier followers of the Milky Way Star Master.
Unexpectedly, there was already another eighth-tier follower, and he was an alien!
"We've heard of the fame of the Milky Way Star Master, and we are here specifically to pay him a visit." The woman quickly explained their purpose.
"Visit the Star Master? Just the two of you?" The reddish-brown-skinned alien thought for a moment before speaking, "I'll go and ask the Star Master."
A visit to the Star Master required his consent, and this alien couldn't make that decision on his own.
After a moment, the reddish-brown-skinned alien nodded and said, "The Star Master agrees. Please follow me."
Soon, the man and woman entered the palace.
Lin Yuan, clad in a blue eighth-tier armor, sat with his legs crossed, contemplating the spatial rule model. As they entered, he slowly opened his eyes, emanating an aura like the rising sun.
"Milky Way Star Master!" Lu Ran and the woman immediately felt a dryness in their mouths, and they bowed respectfully.
"Lu Ran, Ruan Wei." Lin Yuan spoke calmly, his memory easily recalling the details of all the eighth-tier Evolvers in the Human Civilization Alliance.
The man and woman before him had entered the eighth tier thousands of years ago. After fulfilling their 'obligation' of guarding the star domain, they had voluntarily relinquished their positions and embarked on a journey through the universe.
Being a Star Master of a star domain was indeed a lucrative position, but it also meant being confined to that area.
A Star Master had to remain in their star domain, either personally or through a clone or avatar. This restriction was unacceptable to some Evolvers, which was why they didn't remain as Star Masters indefinitely.
"We have heard of how you, the Milky Way Star Master, single-handedly purged all the unruly aliens from the star domain, and we are filled with admiration. That is why we have come specifically to follow you." Ruan Wei spoke softly.
"Follow me?" Lin Yuan's expression remained unchanged.
His teacher, the Red Kunlun Star Master, had many followers.
"What do you want?" Lin Yuan asked directly.
Once they decided to follow him, their lives would be in his hands, and even the Three Goddesses wouldn't be able to interfere. Therefore, followers always had requests or conditions.
When the Black Prison Family's Black Prison Mo had followed the Red Kunlun Star Master, their request was to establish a family that would continue for generations. That was how the once-prominent Black Prison Family of the Red Kunlun Star Domain had come to be.
"After entering the eighth tier, we deeply felt the difficulties of cultivation. So, if you, the Star Master, manage to reach the ninth tier in the future, we ask only for your guidance." Lu Ran respectfully spoke.
Although the virtual world of human civilization had some cultivation experiences of ninth-tier Evolvers, they were personal experiences that might not be as helpful to others.
But to receive personal guidance from a ninth-tier Evolver was an incredibly difficult opportunity to come by.
"No problem." Lin Yuan agreed without hesitation.
It was a simple request, and he only needed to provide some guidance.
At the moment, he had just begun to establish his rule over the Milky Way Star Domain, and he needed a lot of help. Having two eighth-tier Evolvers by his side would undoubtedly save him a lot of trouble.
Additionally, Lu Ran and Ruan Wei had clean backgrounds and were human Evolvers, which made them somewhat trustworthy. Thus, Lin Yuan readily agreed to accept them.
"Thank you, Star Master." Lu Ran and Ruan Wei were relieved to hear his response.
"For now, stay on the main star. If anything comes up in the future, I'll have you handle it. I won't let your efforts go unrewarded."
Lin Yuan spoke.
When it came to dealing with followers, he could have squeezed them for all they were worth, but that wasn't his style.
A star domain, if developed well, could generate enormous profits, and Lin Yuan was willing to share a portion of it.
Red Kunlun Main Star.
Thirteen Peaks.
The Sun Primordial Spirit sat cross-legged in the depths of the grand hall.
As Lin Yuan comprehended the Sun Rule, the Sun Primordial Spirit's aura surged, expanding its influence.
The Moon Primordial Spirit, which Lin Yuan had condensed from the power of the sun, was inherently linked to the Sun Rule, and its growth was evident as Lin Yuan mastered the rule.
"What is my current strength?"
A smile appeared on Lin Yuan's face as the flame world within his body began to expand wildly, eventually reaching a size of forty thousand miles in radius.
It had now reached the standard of a normal eighth-tier peak Evolver's internal world.
"Not weaker than an ordinary eighth-tier peak."
Lin Yuan's spirit examined himself.
For the Sun Primordial Spirit, comprehending the complete Sun Rule meant reaching the eighth-tier peak, and it followed a cultivation path different from the martial arts system.
In essence, it was a primordial spirit, and the upper limit of the rules was its own upper limit.
"Now that I've reached the eighth-tier peak, if I also comprehend the Moon Rule and the Moon Primordial Spirit advances to the eighth-tier peak, what would our combined strength be like if we merge into the Tai Chi Primordial Spirit?"
Lin Yuan's spirit was filled with anticipation.
The Yin-Yang Primordial Spirit that Lin Yuan had condensed through the martial arts evolution path was originally split from the Tai Chi Primordial Spirit.
The two could also merge back together.
Moreover, when the Sun Primordial Spirit and the Moon Primordial Spirit fused, their strength would surge tremendously, possibly even rivaling that of his main body.
At the seventh tier, if the Sun and Moon Primordial Spirits combined, they could even forcibly create a second Tai Chi microcosm.
"Speaking of the Moon Primordial Spirit, I should be able to venture into the medium-sized alien battlefields now, right?"
Lin Yuan's spirit contemplated.
The permanent spatial rift in the medium-sized alien battlefields was much larger than the one in the small-scale battlefields.
Lin Yuan speculated that being in such a large permanent spatial rift might result in a greater accumulation of boundary-breaking source power.
However, when Lin Yuan was at the seventh tier, the Goddess of Wisdom had advised against him going to the medium-sized alien battlefields, even in the form of a clone.
Clones were not invincible, and some eighth-tier invincible and ninth-tier Evolvers possessed means to counter them.
As the unparalleled genius of Human Civilization and the founder of the martial arts evolution path, the Goddess of Wisdom naturally prioritized Lin Yuan's safety.
Now that Lin Yuan had reached the eighth tier, venturing into the medium-sized alien battlefields shouldn't pose any problems.
Theoretically, the strongest beings in the medium-sized alien battlefields were eighth-tier invincibles, with a small chance of encountering ninth-tier powerhouses.
Lin Yuan's primordial spirit, with its concealed identity, could blend in without anyone knowing that he was Human Civilization's unparalleled genius.
"Goddess of Wisdom."
Lin Yuan immediately contacted the Goddess of Wisdom to make his request.
Any human Evolver intending to enter the alien battlefields had to seek permission from the three goddesses; otherwise, they would be treated as illegal combatants and become targets of both humans and aliens.
"Honored seventh-grade citizen, Lin Yuan, your application has been approved."
The crisp and solemn voice of the Goddess of Wisdom echoed in his mind.
"As expected, it was approved," Lin Yuan said with a smile.
Having reached the eighth tier and with his identity concealed, venturing into the medium-sized alien battlefields shouldn't pose any risks, as evidenced by the approval of his application by the Goddess of Wisdom.
Moreover, with the God-Securing Pearl bestowed by the powerful Xia Qinzhi, he could rest assured.
Although the God-Securing Pearl was with his main body, if his clone encountered memory pollution or other influences that affected his main body, he could still activate the pearl, causing both his clone and main body to briefly shake off the influence and allowing him to control his clone to self-destruct if necessary.
Small-scale Alien Battlefield.
The Moon Primordial Spirit left the permanent spatial rift and exited the battlefield, making its way toward the chosen medium-sized alien battlefield.
The most efficient way to conserve boundary-breaking source power would have been for the Moon Primordial Spirit to remain stationary while the spirit traveled to the selected medium-sized alien battlefield.
Once the spirit arrived, the Moon Primordial Spirit could then leave and return to the Red Kunlun Main Star.
However, doing so would expose both his spirit and primordial spirit to potential dangers in the vast cosmos.
Lin Yuan would rather waste some boundary-breaking source power than put himself at any risk.
Milky Way Main Star.
Lin Yuan concluded his cultivation session.
He scanned the scenes unfolding on the main star.
"Things are progressing well."
Lin Yuan nodded in satisfaction. Under the management of four eighth-tier and two seventh-tier subordinates, the Milky Way Main Star was thriving, attracting the attention of large chambers of commerce and other powerful entities in the nearby star domains.
"Let's continue the inventory."
Lin Yuan's mind stirred as he began to examine the spoils of war.
The pursuit and elimination of those special lives and solitary aliens had made Lin Yuan incredibly wealthy, especially with the contributions of the two special lives, 'Merchant Mountain' and 'Ao Du,' who had yielded nearly 100,000 units of universe crystals.
Additionally, the other special lives and solitary aliens had also provided Lin Yuan with substantial gains.
After storing away the recognizable treasures into a unified spatial ring, Lin Yuan began to appraise the remaining miscellaneous items.
As special lives and solitary aliens who had lived for countless years, they occasionally acquired items they didn't recognize, and so they collected them.
Now, all those mysterious treasures, whose origins and purposes were unknown, had ended up in Lin Yuan's possession, forming a pile as large as a mountain.
"Let's take a look."
Lin Yuan had a simple approach to dealing with these items of unknown origin and purpose—he would crush them.
Any item that could withstand a single strike from him without turning to dust was likely something extraordinary.
Rumble!
Lin Yuan's mind stirred.
Hundreds of miscellaneous items began to deform and turn into powder.
"Hmm?"
As Lin Yuan was about to shift his gaze, something caught his attention, and his eyes fell upon a gray gourd amidst the pile of powder.
"This gourd blocked my attack?"
A smile appeared on Lin Yuan's face.
Regardless of its use, the material of the gourd was exceptional and could fetch a good price, likely several units of universe crystals.
"Let's see what makes it so special."
Lin Yuan grasped the gourd and applied force, only to find that it remained unmoved. His expression gradually changed.
With his current strength, even a slight exertion of force could cause a planet's crust to rupture, plunging it into an extinction-level event.
"Hmm?"
Lin Yuan extended his consciousness, touching the gray gourd, and his expression shifted slightly.
