Chapter 273: Ranking of Human Civilization's Evolution Paths (Subscription Requested)
The five Undefeatable Eighth-tiers were incredibly patient.
Their goal was not to kill this clone of the Galaxy Star Master.
Instead, they aimed to ensure the Galaxy Star Master's complete downfall, preventing even the'resurrection' of a pinnacle existence.
If their goal was merely to kill a clone, they could have acted over a decade ago when they infiltrated the outer reaches of the Galaxy Master Planet.
With the five Undefeatable Eighth-tiers working together to seal space, even if the Galaxy Star Master had mastered the art of spatial movement, he would be trapped within the planet.
At that time, their combined assault on the Galaxy Master Planet would leave it defenseless, despite its B-grade modified planetary defense system. It would only be a matter of a few breaths before the planet was destroyed.
The Galaxy Star Master would then be left with no recourse, no way to call for help.
For the five Undefeatable Eighth-tiers to assassinate a Galaxy Star Master whose combat strength was only at the peak of the Eighth-tier was like using a cannon to kill a mosquito. If it weren't for the Bug Tribe Sovereign's interest in the Galaxy Star Master, the Dark Dragon Tribe Sarra, and the other Eighth-tier beings, they probably wouldn't have bothered with this alliance.
Even with the Galaxy Star Master's high talent, he was still a newcomer to the Eighth-tier. What could he do even if he possessed the combat strength of the Eighth-tier peak?
To those who had mastered a certain cosmic power and reached the Eighth-tier Undefeatables, beings at the Eighth-tier peak were but slightly larger ants, not much different from newcomers to the Eighth-tier.
Although this particular ant might grow into a giant in the future, for now, it was still just an ant.
"After we kill the Galaxy Star Master, the few of us should avoid appearing on the battlefield as much as possible and lay low. It won't be easy to withstand the retaliation from Human Civilization."
Sarra of the Dark Dragon Tribe turned to the other four Eighth-tier beings and spoke in a low voice.
Over the past decade, in addition to monitoring the Galaxy Master Planet, they had occasionally interacted with each other, developing some camaraderie.
"Of course."
"Those madmen of Human Civilization will definitely seek revenge, even if they don't tear off all pretenses, for us daring to kill their unparalleled genius," another Eighth-tier being immediately added.
Normally, among the several pinnacle tribes of the Main World, it was an unspoken rule that their battles were restricted to power levels below the Ninth-tier.
Only on large Alien Tribe battlefields was the presence of Ninth-tier or higher power permitted. In other places, even on medium-sized Alien Tribe battlefields, there was rarely any trace of Ninth-tier beings.
This was a tacit agreement among the several pinnacle tribes, a way to maintain a certain level of intensity in their wars.
Without this rule, the struggles between the tribes would become extremely chaotic, and even the pinnacle existences would frequently intervene.
This would have a catastrophic impact on the various pinnacle tribes.
Of course, rules were meant to be broken. Even if these five Undefeatable Eighth-tier Alien Tribe powerhouses didn't break this particular rule, once they succeeded in killing the Galaxy Star Master, Human Civilization would still fly into a rage.
This retaliation might manifest in the form of targeted attacks on these five individuals or their tribes on the Alien Tribe battlefields, or even an increase in the intensity of the war against the Bug Tribe.
While the Bug Tribe could withstand the malicious intentions of the Human Civilization Alliance, the tribes backing these five Undefeatable Eighth-tiers would undoubtedly suffer heavy losses and might even face annihilation.
Millennia ago, when the minor disciple of the Red Coiling Star Master died, the Red Coiling Star Master had called upon his allies, and dozens of Eighth-tier Undefeatables had descended upon several medium-sized Alien Tribe battlefields, nearly tearing them apart.
And the minor disciple had been talented, but he couldn't compare to the Galaxy Star Master.
One can only imagine the calamity that would befall the Human Civilization Alliance if the Galaxy Star Master were to be truly killed.
Of course, the Bug Tribe had made numerous promises to these five Eighth-tier powerhouses, assuring them that their tribes would not be affected, and the rewards offered were enough to tempt them to take this risk.
Virtual World.
In a mysterious space, nine grand thrones stood, and on three of them, majestic figures appeared.
One of these figures was the Summer Solstice Pinnacle Existence.
"Wisdom Goddess," Summer Solstice acknowledged with a glance, "as well as the Freedom Goddess and the Justice Goddess."
The three goddesses were the ultimate intelligences of Human Civilization, their status equal to that of the nine pinnacle existences.
"Summer Solstice Pinnacle Existence, Butterfly Pinnacle Existence, and Ancient Power Pinnacle Existence," the Wisdom Goddess said in a solemn and chilly tone.
Human Civilization had nine pinnacle existences, but each of them governed their own domain and had their own affairs to attend to. Usually, when the three goddesses contacted the pinnacle existences, two or three of them would respond.
"Our Human Civilization is about to gain another Eighth-tier evolution path, and we require your confirmation," the Wisdom Goddess continued.
"Oh?"
"A brand new Eighth-tier evolution path has been created?" Summer Solstice's eyebrows rose.
The creation of an Eighth-tier evolution path was entirely different from the emergence of an Eighth-tier evolutionary being.
The latter might not catch the attention of a pinnacle existence, but the former—an Eighth-tier evolution path—represented a continuous source of Eighth-tier evolutionaries.
Its importance could be likened to the foundation of a tribe.
Especially since this evolution path had caught the attention of the three goddesses and warranted their notification of the pinnacle existences; it was undoubtedly extraordinary and held the potential for further development.
"Let me see."
Summer Solstice received the Martial Arts Eighth-tier Chapter from the Wisdom Goddess.
"Is it that young man?" Summer Solstice was slightly surprised. He had a favorable impression of Lin Yuan, having met him once and bestowed upon him the precious God-stabilizing Pearl.
In Summer Solstice's eyes, Lin Yuan was not only exceptional for reaching the Eighth-tier before the age of a hundred, but he had also founded the Martial Arts evolution path, which held immense potential.
His innate talent and qualities were enough to rank him within the top ten or even top twenty in the history of Human Civilization.
"Did he create the Eighth-tier Chapter so quickly?" Summer Solstice was astonished. The creation of an Eighth-tier Chapter meant that Lin Yuan had thoroughly traversed the Eighth-tier.
But how long had it been since Lin Yuan entered the Eighth-tier? And Summer Solstice himself knew how challenging it was to create an Eighth-tier Chapter.
It was already difficult to cultivate from the early Eighth-tier to the Eighth-tier peak in such a short time, let alone create an Eighth-tier Chapter from scratch.
Summer Solstice surveyed the universe and stars, having witnessed countless geniuses in his existence. When he first met Lin Yuan and assessed his talent to be within the top ten or twenty in the history of Human Civilization, he hadn't felt much emotion.
Indeed, being in the top ten or twenty in the history of Human Civilization was incredibly rare and exceptional, but it was still just that—an exception. If one did not become a pinnacle existence, they would eventually fade into the annals of history.
However, now that Lin Yuan had paved the Eighth-tier Chapter, Summer Solstice was genuinely astonished.
This was too fast.
But the three goddesses would not deceive them. If Lin Yuan's Eighth-tier Chapter didn't meet the standards, it would have been rejected outright.
Since they were being asked to confirm it, it meant that the three goddesses believed the Eighth-tier Chapter to be without issue.
"Let me take a look." Summer Solstice immediately perused the contents of the Martial Arts Eighth-tier Chapter.
For a pinnacle existence, examining an Eighth-tier Chapter was effortless, and it didn't take long for the three of them to finish reading it.
"This Eighth-tier Chapter..." Summer Solstice fell into deep thought, even at his level, he could sense the potential of the Martial Arts Eighth-tier Chapter.
He had recognized the potential of the Martial Arts Evolution System and wanted to ensure that its founder was indeed a member of the Human Civilization.
Otherwise, Human Civilization would spare no effort in their assassination.
"Yes, he is," replied the Wisdom Goddess.
"Summer Solstice has personally confirmed it as well."
Gu Li nodded slightly, neither asking further questions nor offering any comments.
However, the fact that Gu Li directly sought confirmation from the Wisdom Goddess regarding the founder's identity demonstrated the pinnacle existence's attention to this matter.
When it came to other tribes, their attitude was clear: kill, kill, kill.
"Good eye, Summer Solstice," commented the Feather Butterfly Pinnacle Existence, a graceful woman, as she glanced at Summer Solstice.
Among the nine pinnacle existences of Human Civilization, Feather Butterfly was unique. She was the ultimate evolution of the Fantasy Dreamland Evolution Path and was not adept at direct combat.
Yet, her importance to Human Civilization was no less than that of any other pinnacle existence, as the Virtual World that enveloped the entire Human Civilization domain was a product of Feather Butterfly's 'Authority'.
"Hehe," Summer Solstice replied with a slight smile.
Not long ago, after meeting Lin Yuan and bestowing upon him the God-stabilizing Pearl, Summer Solstice still felt uneasy. So, he asked Feather Butterfly to keep a close eye on Lin Yuan.
As the origin of the Virtual World, Feather Butterfly's perception extended to wherever the Virtual World's network reached.
By asking her to watch over Lin Yuan, they effectively eliminated the possibility of other tribes flipping the table and sending Ninth-tier or higher beings to assassinate him.
Of course, Feather Butterfly was merely keeping an eye on Lin Yuan, not acting as his 'babysitter'.
Unless Lin Yuan faced the risk of total annihilation, with all his avatars and true self perishing to the point where even resurrection was impossible, Feather Butterfly would not intervene.
As for other dangers?
In Feather Butterfly's opinion, facing moderate danger and life-threatening situations was actually beneficial.
"Since Summer Solstice, Feather Butterfly, and Ancient Power have no objections, then after evaluation, this Eighth-tier Chapter is valued at 22 million merit points. Do you agree?" the Wisdom Goddess asked again.
"22 million merit points?" Summer Solstice's expression remained calm.
Typically, an Eighth-tier Chapter for a normal evolution path would be worth 8 to 10 million merit points.
For an exceptionally outstanding Eighth-tier Chapter, the value might reach 15 to 18 million merit points.
An Eighth-tier Chapter valued at over 22 million merit points was not merely outstanding; it carried a unique trait that set it apart.
"I agree," Summer Solstice nodded.
"I agree as well," Feather Butterfly and Ancient Power added successively.
The Eighth-tier Chapter of the Martial Arts Evolution System, with its potential for various Cosmic Powers, was indeed worth that many merit points.
Cosmic Powers were invaluable. Even if one only comprehended a single type, it would greatly benefit their advancement beyond the Ninth-tier.
Galaxy Master Planet.
Lin Yuan connected his consciousness to the Virtual World and entered the shopping interface to select suitable energy crystals.
With an inner world spanning over 2,000 miles that needed expansion, Lin Yuan urgently required a large amount of energy to support the Virtual World.
As for slowly absorbing energy from the universe? That would be far too inefficient, and absorbing a large amount of energy from the universe would have an irreparable impact on the Galaxy Master Planet.
"This one will do," Lin Yuan finally made his choice.
Taiwei Qingjing.
The core energy derived from the Taiwei Secret Realm in the universe.
While its quality was not as pure as the Red Spirit Juice of the Chi Clan, it was more than sufficient for expanding his inner world.
"80,000 universe crystals..." Lin Yuan estimated the cost of expanding his inner world to 3,750 miles and felt his heart bleeding.
He had used ruthless means to scour the Galaxy Domain, plundering special beings and solitary aliens, and yet he had only obtained treasures worth over 10,000 universe crystals.
Now, before he could even warm his hands on this haul, he had to spend a portion of it.
"It's fine. Once I become stronger, I can just kill some alien powerhouses to make up for it. 80,000 universe crystals? That's just the price of a little more than half an Undefeatable Eighth-tier," Lin Yuan consoled himself as he painfully paid the price.
"It should arrive soon, right?"
Lin Yuan checked the delivery time. The Taiwei Qingjing, worth 80,000 universe crystals, would arrive at the Galaxy Master Planet in about half a month.
"Next, I'll let the energy of creation within my inner world completely transform into Cosmic Power." Lin Yuan began to relax the isolation between his inner world and the outside world.
In an instant.
Dozens of energies of creation actively adapted to the main world, especially the strand of Primordial Energy, which caused the entire inner world, spanning thousands of miles, to shake.
"Once my inner world expands to 3,750 miles, I'll directly start absorbing the liquid from the mysterious gourd to restore it to nearly 100 million miles."
Lin Yuan made his plan.
With the Spirit Realm continuously absorbing the liquid from the mysterious gourd, his fleshly body's 'Blood Rebirth' divine ability would be enhanced.
Then, Lin Yuan could absorb the liquid again, and it wouldn't take long to recover—just over ten days.
Half a day later.
Suddenly, the voice of the Wisdom Goddess sounded.
"Honored Galaxy Star Master, the evaluation of the Eighth-tier Chapter you uploaded is complete."
"Complete?" Lin Yuan's eyes lit up, and he immediately asked, "How many merit points is it worth?"
"Honored Galaxy Star Master, your uploaded Eighth-tier Chapter is valued at 22 million merit points," the Wisdom Goddess replied in a solemn and chilly tone.
"22 million merit points," Lin Yuan took a deep breath.
He remembered that the Seventh-tier Chapter was only worth 3 million merit points.
Now, the Eighth-tier Chapter was worth 22 million, an increase of eight to nine times.
"The three goddesses have a high opinion of this Eighth-tier Chapter," Lin Yuan thought to himself, "Or perhaps it's not just the three goddesses?"
This time, the three goddesses took much longer to evaluate the Martial Arts Eighth-tier Chapter than they had before.
"22 million merit points," Lin Yuan smiled. This was equivalent to the merit points gained from thoroughly defeating over twenty Eighth-tier powerhouses.
It meant completely defeating them, not just killing a single avatar.
On the Alien Tribe battlefield, defeating over twenty Alien Tribe Eighth-tiers was as difficult as ascending to the heavens.
This wasn't a matter of strength, but rather, once an evolutionary being defeated three or four Eighth-tier aliens, they would attract the attention of all alien powerhouses. From then on, any Eighth-tier aliens would turn and flee at the sight of them.
For a human evolutionary being who had defeated over ten Eighth-tier aliens, as soon as they appeared on any alien battlefield, they would immediately face opponents of the same caliber or even Undefeatable Eighth-tiers.
"Right."
"Let's take a look at the rankings."
Lin Yuan's heart stirred as he looked at the latest rankings of the Martial Arts Evolution Path.
