Chapter 248: A Decade
Chapter 248: A Decade (End of Chapter)
Upon witnessing this, the remaining four Eighth-rank invincibles immediately realized that the Insect Tribe undoubtedly possessed even more critical intelligence or deeper schemes.
"Galaxy Star Master, in our tribe's ranking of the most promising geniuses of the Human Race under a thousand years old, you are placed seventh." The Insect Nest Hologram spoke indifferently.
"Seventh?" The five Eighth-rank invincibles were astonished.
The Insect Tribe, as one of the pinnacle races, had extremely strict criteria for defining geniuses. The list they had made for the Human Civilization took numerous factors into consideration.
For the Galaxy Star Master to be ranked seventh, he must be extraordinarily formidable in all aspects.
It must be known that it would be challenging for even a Eighth-rank individual under a hundred years old to attain such a ranking.
"The Galaxy Star Master's growth rate is too fast." The Insect Nest Hologram offered no further explanation.
Although the Insect Tribe lacked a virtual world and the three ultimate intelligent goddesses, they had top-notch divination masters.
By intersecting multiple streams of information and intelligence, they inferred that the Galaxy Star Master's potential was by no means inferior to the offspring of the strongest beings, humans with special inheritances, and other evolving humans.
In the end, they placed him in the seventh position.
In fact, what the Insect Tribe's divination masters didn't know was that the martial arts evolution path was founded by Lin Yuan.
The Summer Supreme Being was aware of this, and he openly stated that Lin Yuan's talent could be ranked within the top ten or even top twenty in the history of the Human Civilization.
This was a ranking in the context of the Human Civilization's history, while the list formulated by the Insect Tribe only considered individuals of the current generation under a thousand years old.
The two rankings were not comparable at all.
If the Insect Tribe were to learn of the Summer Supreme Being's evaluation of Lin Yuan, they would probably once again disregard all consequences and employ even more extreme measures to annihilate Lin Yuan.
For a human evolving genius ranked seventh among their contemporaries, the chances of becoming a Supreme Being were minuscule.
However, for a genius ranked within the top twenty or even top ten in the history of the Human Civilization, the odds of attaining the Supreme Being realm were significantly higher.
The Human Civilization would not tolerate the emergence of another Supreme Being from the pinnacle races, and likewise, the Insect Tribe was unwilling to witness the rise of another Supreme Being from the Human Civilization.
In fact, even the Summer Supreme Being had underestimated Lin Yuan's talent.
In his opinion, Lin Yuan's knowledge of the Demon Jade Tower was due to him obtaining an inheritance from a force outside the Main World.
And such an inheritance from outside the Main World would undoubtedly include abundant cultivation resources and perhaps even serendipitous encounters.
That was what he believed to have created the current Lin Yuan.
However, in actuality, from the time Lin Yuan became an Evolver until before he took control of the Galaxy Star Domain, aside from the Myriad Worlds Gate, he had never obtained any unknown fortuitous encounters.
"For this assassination, I want you to utterly annihilate the Galaxy Star Master, ensuring that he cannot be resurrected." The Insect Nest Hologram emitted a mental fluctuation.
"Unable to be resurrected?"
"Utterly annihilate?"
The five Eighth-rank invincibles exchanged glances, their expressions filled with helplessness.
Given Lin Yuan's identity and strength, the one currently presiding over the Galaxy Star was most likely his clone.
His true body was probably situated in an extremely secure location.
Even with their combined efforts, while they could undoubtedly suppress the Galaxy Star Master, it would be nearly impossible to utterly annihilate him, including his true body.
After all, Lin Yuan was also an Eighth-rank being, sharing the same realm as these Eighth-rank invincibles.
Certain unique methods, such as curse-killing techniques, would be utterly ineffective.
They couldn't even achieve utter annihilation, let alone prevent his resurrection.
"Rest assured." The Insect Nest Hologram's thoughts stirred slightly.
A cubic container appeared.
The cube was transparent, and within it, a mist seemed to be swirling.
"This is the Memory Poison."
"The five of you will work together to restrain the Galaxy Star Master's clone and inject this Memory Poison into his body."
"The rest is none of your concern." The Insect Nest Hologram emitted a mental fluctuation.
"Memory Poison?" The five Eighth-rank invincibles were startled.
Memory Poison was an extremely unique and rare item. It could corrupt and twist a being at the level of their memory.
It was common knowledge that with the clone technique, the original body and the clone shared the same memory. If this Memory Poison were injected into a clone, the original body's memory would also be affected and contaminated.
Even if a Supreme Being intervened, reversing time and resurrecting the being, it would be meaningless.
The principle behind resurrection involved a Supreme Being using the rules of time to turn back the flow of time and pull the deceased being from the past to the present.
This achieved the purpose of 'resurrection'.
However, regardless of which time period the Supreme Being returned to, the instant the resurrected being reappeared in the universe, they would synchronize with the universe and receive all their memories up until the moment of their death.
In other words, even if a Supreme Being went back to a more distant past and retrieved the being before their memory was contaminated, once that being returned to the universe and synchronized their memories, the contamination would occur again.
"To deal with a mere human Eighth-rank, no matter how extraordinary a genius they are, you actually used a portion of the Memory Poison." One of the Eighth-rank invincibles spoke in a low voice.
Memory Poison was incredibly precious. It required a Supreme Being to expend great effort and pay a certain price to create.
Even with the Insect Tribe's profound heritage, they probably didn't have many portions of Memory Poison.
"Anyone ranked within the top ten on the list crafted by our tribe is qualified to use the Memory Poison." The Insect Nest Hologram explained.
"However, given the Galaxy Star Master's potential, he must have been bestowed with a life-saving treasure. All five of you must exert your full strength and leave him no opportunity to resist." The Insect Nest Hologram instructed.
While the Memory Poison was indeed terrifying, it only affected the memory.
Any other power, no matter how slight, could destroy the Memory Poison.
Hence, the five Eighth-rank invincibles had to completely suppress the Galaxy Star Master and cut off any possibility of resistance before they could use the Memory Poison.
Galaxy Star.
Lin Yuan arrived in his inner world.
"Thunderheart." Lin Yuan slowly integrated the eight-star top-grade universal treasure, which he had traded for with 12,000 universe crystals, into his inner world.
Rumble!
Purple lightning began to fill his vast inner world, which spanned over 200 million square miles, with a faint destructive aura.
Yet, at the same time, it also brought about a vibrant vitality, making his entire inner world seem more solid and real.
"As expected of Thunderheart." Lin Yuan sensed the changes in his inner world and was satisfied.
Even among universal treasures, there were significant differences.
Thunderheart, as a universal treasure, was evidently superior to universal treasures like the 'Primordial Flame'.
This could be seen from its value alone.
"My current strength should be at the pinnacle of the first echelon of the Eighth-rank, right?" Lin Yuan thought to himself.
"However, even now, I'm still a step away from fully comprehending the Yin Rule."
Lin Yuan sat cross-legged in his inner world, his thoughts swirling.
Since the Fourth-rank, Lin Yuan had started to comprehend the Yin-Yang Rules.
From the Fifth-rank to the Sixth-rank, Seventh-rank, and now the Eighth-rank, his comprehension of the Yang Rule had always been far ahead.
Moreover, since the Yin-Yang Rules formed a complementary Taiji, even if his comprehension of the Yin Rule was a bit lacking, it didn't affect him much.
As a result, his understanding of the Yin Rule lagged far behind his comprehension of the Yang Rule.
Even with his current complete understanding of the Yang Rule, the conversion of Yin-Yang through Taiji still couldn't help him quickly comprehend the Yin Rule.
"It could be a matter of years, or perhaps over a decade."
Lin Yuan had a good grasp of the situation.
For other Evolvers to fully comprehend the Taiyin Rule, they would need to break through countless bottlenecks and shackles.
But with the Yang Rule conversion, Lin Yuan faced almost no obstacles or restrictions; it was smooth sailing.
"Calming Soul Pearl."
Lin Yuan glanced at the life-saving item bestowed upon him by the Summer Supreme Being.
The Calming Soul Pearl guarded one's spiritual will and encompassed their memories.
The Summer Supreme Being's intention was that even if a Supreme Being made a move, the Calming Soul Pearl could buy Lin Yuan an instant to self-destruct.
However, it didn't mean that only a Supreme Being's intervention would activate the Calming Soul Pearl.
Any attack or means that threatened Lin Yuan's spiritual will or memories would be blocked by the Calming Soul Pearl.
Of course, the heart demons of the Heart Demon Tribulation were an exception.
Galaxy Star Master Palace.
Lin Yuan sat cross-legged, his body engulfed in crimson flames.
An unknown amount of time passed.
Lin Yuan opened his eyes.
"My body didn't collapse?"
According to the information Lin Yuan obtained from the mysterious gourd, completely absorbing the liquid within required his physical body to remain intact until the very end.
Countless times in the past, Lin Yuan's body had turned to ashes, only to return through the 'Blood Rebirth' divine ability.
But now...
Lin Yuan's physical body had endured.
"It did increase by three and a third times."
Lin Yuan carefully sensed his physical body and his inner world, coming to a conclusion.
His inner world was now vast, spanning nearly 2.7 million square miles.
This was because during this period, Lin Yuan had comprehended more spatial models, causing the foundation of his inner world to exceed 800,000 square miles.
After expanding by three and a third times, it finally reached its current size of nearly 2.7 million square miles.
"With just my inner world, I should be able to crush ordinary Eighth-rank peak beings."
A smile appeared on Lin Yuan's face.
The inner world of a typical Eighth-rank peak being was around 400,000 square miles in size.
Four hundred thousand versus two million seven hundred thousand?
It wasn't just crushing; it was overwhelming.
"Continue, continue."
"Let's see the orange-yellow liquid."
Lin Yuan's eyes lit up as he looked at the gray-red gourd in front of him.
The gray-red gourd could condense seven types of liquids, categorized by color: red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, and purple.
Lin Yuan had completely absorbed the scarlet red liquid.
Next up was the orange-yellow liquid.
With that thought, Lin Yuan immediately reached out, grasped the gray-red gourd, and turned it upside down.
Perhaps due to Lin Yuan's right hand touching it, the gourd, which had been gray-red, slowly changed color.
The red began to fade, replaced by yellow.
Gray-yellow gourd.
Drop.
A drop of orange-yellow liquid condensed at the gourd's mouth.
"So beautiful."
Lin Yuan stared at the drop of orange-yellow liquid, faintly sensing that it contained a miniature universe within.
He observed it for a moment.
Then, Lin Yuan directly swallowed the drop of orange-yellow liquid.
Rumble!
The orange-yellow liquid transformed into flames that rapidly spread throughout Lin Yuan's body.
Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle.
In an instant, Lin Yuan's body turned to ashes.
After a few breaths...
The 'Blood Rebirth' divine ability activated, and Lin Yuan returned from the ashes.
"What?"
Lin Yuan was a little dazed.
"Did the improvement increase too much, causing me to be unable to bear it?"
Lin Yuan pondered for a moment and came to a conclusion.
"It seems that I need an inner world of at least 5 million square miles to withstand the enhancement of the orange-yellow liquid?" Lin Yuan thought to himself.
Unlike enhancing his inner world through the comprehension of spatial rules, the enhancement provided by the liquids within the mysterious gourd was forced and broke through some restrictions and shackles.
Therefore, one couldn't take too big of a step at once.
Lin Yuan had to have a certain foundation to withstand a sufficient amount of enhancement.
"An inner world of 5 million square miles is not difficult for me."
Lin Yuan thought to himself. After the transformation from the scarlet red liquid, a 5-million-square-mile inner world was equivalent to a 1.5-million-square-mile inner world for other Evolvers.
It was far from reaching the upper limit of the inner world.
Outside the Galaxy Star.
Five figures hid in the depths of space.
"This planet has undergone a B-grade transformation. Even if we make a move, we can only hold them off for a few breaths," the leading Eighth-rank invincible said.
Those few breaths could be enough for the Galaxy Star Master to realize something was amiss and immediately self-destruct his clone.
If that happened, their mission would end in failure.
Although they wouldn't be punished by the Insect Tribe, the treasure rewards would obviously have nothing to do with them.
"What do we do now?"
The second Eighth-rank invincible frowned. The Galaxy Star Master was inside the planet, and although he was still a few hundred million miles away, for Eighth-rank invincibles, a single spatial shift would bring them right to their target, as if it were right before their eyes.
Of course, the Galaxy Star, having undergone a B-grade transformation, had the ability to block spatial shifts, allowing them to shift only outside the planet.
"Wait."
"Wait until the Galaxy Star Master comes out on his own."
The leading Eighth-rank invincible continued, "We only have one chance. If the Galaxy Star Master senses us, we will fail."
Upon hearing this, the four other Eighth-rank invincibles nodded slightly.
The Galaxy Star Master's strength was indeed inferior to any one of them.
But the Galaxy Star Master didn't need to confront them; he only needed to successfully self-destruct his clone to render them helpless.
Although the Galaxy Star Master wasn't old, he wasn't a fool either. If he sensed that the five Eighth-rank invincibles were ambushing him, he would surely deduce that they had some means of affecting his true body.
Why else would they send five Eighth-rank invincibles just to kill a clone?
Although it was true that deploying an Eighth-rank invincible in the fringe star domain incurred far fewer losses than doing so in the rear of Human Civilization, it was still a significant cost.
In the fringe star domain, an Eighth-rank invincible would most likely be able to retreat safely after a successful assassination.
However, in the rear of Human Civilization, even a Ninth-rank expert would undoubtedly perish if they dared to reveal their traces.
But what were Eighth-rank invincibles? If five of them were deployed at once, even a pinnacle race wouldn't waste their resources like that. The only possibility was that they intended to kill both the clone and the true body.
"Yes, we only have one chance."
"We must seize it."
The five Eighth-rank invincibles looked at each other.
They immediately began to wait patiently.
As long as the Galaxy Star Master didn't discover their ambush outside, he would eventually come out.
When that time came, their opportunity would arise.
Thinking of this, the five Eighth-rank invincibles felt a surge of heat within their hearts.
As long as the mission was successful, the Insect Tribe's rewards...
...could allow them to take that step.
And so, the five Eighth-rank invincibles waited outside the Galaxy Star for ten years.
Tomorrow will be the eighth shuttle.
