"Chi Qiu, you've taken on an impressive disciple."
Staring at Chi Qiu, Bai Guang spoke with a hint of admiration in his voice.
In the universe of human civilization, it wasn't uncommon for a disciple to surpass their master.
Perhaps among the exotic tribes, there existed suppression, control, and enslavement of their talented members. This led to a power structure where the strong remained unchallenged, and those in high positions restricted the advancement of those below them to consolidate their own status.
However, such phenomena were almost non-existent in human civilization.
Under the rule of the three Ultimate Intelligent Goddesses, anyone who displayed talent in any field would receive protection. Even those without any particular talent could live out their lives peacefully as long as they didn't break the law.
Hence, while the average human might be considered weak compared to individuals from other peak races, human civilization consistently produced a large number of powerful beings. This allowed them to dominate the universe, even against peak races like the Bug Tribe, where they held their own and often had the upper hand.
"Indeed."
"Having an exceptional disciple can be a bother for the teacher as well," Chi Qiu sighed, causing Bai Guang to roll his eyes.
At Chi Qiu's level, it was difficult to make further progress in a short time. Most of his conversations and comparisons with friends revolved around their disciples.
And the more outstanding Lin Yuan proved to be, the more pride Chi Qiu felt as his teacher.
'I can teach such an incredible disciple. Can you?'
'Even if I didn't teach him, it was still my wise eye that recognized his talent.'
Ever since taking Lin Yuan as his disciple, Chi Qiu had enjoyed a comfortable life, never losing in comparisons with his friends.
Especially now, having just learned about Lin Yuan's impressive battle record from Bai Guang, Chi Qiu felt even more elated. Even if any of his friends reached the Ninth Stage, he would still have the upper hand when it came to their disciples.
"What are you bragging about, old man?" Bai Guang glanced at Chi Qiu.
"Just don't have your disciple reach the Ninth Stage while you're still lingering at the Eighth." Bai Guang teased.
Ninth Stage powerhouses began to merge with the greater universe, so even though Bai Guang found Lin Yuan's displayed strength incredible, he was certain that Lin Yuan was still at the Eighth Stage.
"I'm fine with that," Chi Qiu replied nonchalantly.
News of the battle outside the main star of the Milky Way Galaxy spread like a hurricane throughout human territory.
The human domain was vast, and even the affairs of Ninth and Tenth Stage Evolvers might not reach far and wide, rarely crossing star zones.
However, Lin Yuan's battle with the five unbeatable Eighth Stage aliens, where he killed two of them, caused a tremendous stir throughout human civilization.
No matter which star zone, there were bound to be Eighth Stage undefeats.
And as an Eighth Stage Undefeated, one clearly understood the difficulty of killing another at the same level.
This was killing, not merely defeating or suppressing.
"Little Junior Brother," In another fringe star domain, the Grand Peak Master of the Chi Qiu lineage stared at the information before him, feeling a bit dazed.
He had long been aware of his junior brother's terrifying talent and aptitude. From the moment he entered the Eighth Stage, there was no doubt that he could effortlessly suppress the Grand Peak Master, who had already adapted to the Eighth Stage for some time.
Moreover, Teacher Chi Qiu had mentioned that Lin Yuan was 'holding back his full strength.'
From then on, the Grand Peak Master understood that the gap between him and his junior brother would only widen.
But the Grand Peak Master never expected that in such a short time, while he was still striving to balance the numerous forces within the star domain, his junior brother would be slaughtering Undefeats of the Eighth Stage.
"Thirteenth Peak Master, he… killed two Eighth Stage Undefeats?"
In the Star Domain of Ten Thousand Suns, the Ten Thousand Suns Holy Son received this intelligence and sighed inwardly.
"I even considered challenging the Thirteenth Peak Master back then. How laughable."
While the Ten Thousand Suns Holy Son was shocked by Lin Yuan's method of killing Eighth Stage Undefeats, he once saw the Thirteenth Peak Master as a target to surpass.
Having witnessed the Thirteenth Peak Master's growth firsthand, the Ten Thousand Suns Holy Son quickly accepted that while others might not, the Thirteenth Peak Master could break the undefeated myth of the Eighth Stage.
"I can't believe I once fought the Thirteenth Peak Master on the sparring stage." The Ten Thousand Suns Holy Son felt a sense of pride amidst his calmness.
Milky Way Main Star.
Lin Yuan sat cross-legged, his consciousness descending into his inner world.
"Taiwei Clear Crystals."
Dozens of crystals, each the size of a planet, were piled up in a region of his inner world, radiating pure energy.
"Time to start expanding."
With a thought from Lin Yuan, he released his suppression of the inner world.
In an instant, tens of millions of tons of Taiwei Clear Crystals shattered, transforming into pure energy that merged with his inner world, fueling its frenzied expansion.
"First, I'll expand the inner world to its limit, and then I'll absorb the liquid from the mysterious gourd to increase the base multiplier."
Lin Yuan thought to himself, knowing that this was the most efficient method.
After traveling for about half a month, Lin Yuan hadn't immediately started absorbing the liquid from the mysterious gourd. Instead, he waited for the Taiwei Clear Crystals to arrive.
If he had absorbed the liquid from the gourd first, increasing the base multiplier of his inner world to thirteen times, the amount of energy required to expand it to the size corresponding to his understanding of space rules would far exceed what he needed at the moment.
Increasing from one to three consumed two, but increasing from ten to thirty consumed twenty.
In that case, Lin Yuan would need far more than eight million units of Universe Crystals—perhaps eighty million or even over a hundred million units.
"At the current expansion speed, it should reach three million seven hundred and fifty thousand miles in five or six days. Then, after absorbing the liquid from the mysterious gourd, it'll take at most half a month to restore it to nearly a billion miles."
Lin Yuan observed for a while before making his estimation.
After nearly a thousand years in the Spirit Realm, he had spent a lot of time absorbing the various colored liquids from the mysterious gourd, greatly enhancing his fleshly body's 'Blood Rebirth' divine ability.
Now, he just needed to absorb them again, which wouldn't take long.
After some more observation, Lin Yuan's consciousness returned to the outside world.
The expansion of the inner world was an instinctive process that didn't require Lin Yuan's constant attention. He only needed to ensure a sufficient energy supply.
"I have about twenty-six million merit points now?"
Lin Yuan scanned his merit point balance and fell into contemplation.
The Eighth Stage Martial Chapter was worth twenty million merit points.
Out of the remaining four million, one and a half million came from Lin Yuan informing the Wisdom Goddess about the 3,333 types of evolutionary paths inherent in powerful beings, which he had comprehended.
Another million merit points were a reward for Lin Yuan killing the two Eighth Stage Undefeats.
Usually, completely killing an Eighth Stage alien would grant one million merit points. Killing an Eighth Stage Undefeated would yield even more.
However, since Lin Yuan didn't completely kill the two Eighth Stage Undefeats, and their main bodies were still alive, he only received a million points in total.
"To advance from a Level 7 citizen to a Level 8 citizen, one needs fifty million merit points?" Lin Yuan checked the required amount for the next citizen level and shook his head slightly.
Fifty million was an astronomical price, even for the undefeated eighth-stage evolvers; it was simply out of reach.
"No wonder even Evolution Grand Scholars rarely become Level 8 citizens." Lin Yuan thought to himself.
Evolution Grand Scholars had to establish an entirely new eighth-stage evolution path, which was worth at least several million merit points in itself.
On top of that, each Evolution Grand Scholar had a research planet in the Central Star Domain, where they could constantly deduce and test various results, earning a substantial amount of merit points over time.
Lastly, Evolution Grand Scholars could join the Academy of Sciences and the Evolution Institute of Human Civilization, receiving stable merit point income from time to time.
Compared to most evolvers, Evolution Grand Scholars had far more opportunities to earn merit points.
Even so, a significant number of Evolution Grand Scholars had not become Level 8 citizens.
"Slowly but surely," Lin Yuan said to himself. "As long as I can establish the Martial Dao Ninth Stage, it should be more than enough to advance to a Level 8 citizen."
Lin Yuan secretly thought about the Martial Dao. The Eighth Stage was worth 22 million merit points, so the Ninth Stage should be worth even more, leaving him with a surplus.
"Level 8 citizen." Lin Yuan's eyes shone with anticipation.
At this level, one was not merely a citizen but a decision-maker of Human Civilization, influencing numerous Star Alliances.
The current chairman of the Annan Star Alliance was a Level 8 citizen, and his influence was so great that the surrounding dozens of Star Alliances dared not take him lightly.
Beyond the boundaries of Human Civilization...
In a desolate star domain, the imposing projections of several beings appeared, including the Bug Tribe Envoy.
"What's the deal with that Galaxy Master? He's only recently entered the Eighth Stage, yet he already possesses the strength to kill Eighth Stage Undefeats?" One of the towering figures spoke, his tone filled with skepticism.
To them, Eighth Stage Undefeats were nothing special, but for the Galaxy Master to have achieved this feat at such a young age was concerning for their future prospects.
"Kanalyn, you were the one who knew the most about the assassination of the Galaxy Master. What exactly happened?" A second towering figure turned to the Bug Tribe Envoy, his brows furrowed.
"The facts are as you know them," the Bug Tribe Envoy replied, not expecting the assassination to turn out that way either. The Galaxy Master had just entered the Eighth Stage, yet his combat power was unfathomably strong.
"Was there no external force involved?"
The third towering figure inquired, as it was crucial to determine if the Galaxy Master had borrowed external power to kill the two Eighth Stage Undefeats. If he had, it wouldn't be that impressive, as external power was limited.
"Here's the battle footage from that time."
In front of the Bug Tribe Envoy, scenes appeared, showing Lin Yuan confronting the five eighth-stage aliens.
Moments later...
The beings finished watching the footage.
"No external force was used."
"That Galaxy Master has mastered at least three Universal Forces, and they're all higher-level ones."
"One of the Universal Forces should have reached the Third State."
The towering figures whispered to each other, their voices filled with astonishment.
Universal Forces were not easily comprehended, especially the higher-level ones.
The fact that the Galaxy Master had comprehended three higher-level Universal Forces was even more astonishing than his killing of two Eighth Stage Undefeats.
"No wonder he could kill two Eighth Stage Undefeats."
"These three higher-level Universal Forces complement each other, and their combined might barely touches the threshold of the Ninth Stage. However, in other aspects, they far surpass a pure Ninth Stage."
The towering figures glanced at each other.
It was challenging for a Ninth Stage powerhouse to kill an Eighth Stage Undefeated because they could flee, utilizing their comprehended Universal Forces to stall the Ninth Stage powerhouse momentarily.
Of course, this applied to ordinary Ninth Stage powerhouses. Against the more formidable Ninth Stage powerhouses, Eighth Stage Undefeats would find it hard to survive.
However, the Galaxy Master wasn't a Ninth Stage powerhouse, yet he had no weaknesses in his techniques. The Universal Forces of the Eighth Stage Undefeats had no effect on him.
On the contrary, the three higher-level Universal Forces he had comprehended could greatly restrict the Eighth Stage Undefeats.
In simpler terms, it wasn't that the Galaxy Master's strength surpassed that of a typical Ninth Stage powerhouse, but that he countered the Eighth Stage Undefeats.
"With three higher-level Universal Forces, this Galaxy Master will make rapid progress once he enters the Ninth Stage, and his chances of breaking through to the Tenth Stage are high."
"If we had known the Galaxy Master had such potential, our tribe should have sent Ninth Stage fighters to assassinate him."
"If it comes to that, so be it. At most, we'll face a counterattack from Human Civilization, but if we let this Galaxy Master continue to grow, our losses on the large-scale battlefield will likely be even greater."
The towering figures discussed among themselves, their murderous intent toward the Galaxy Master evident. However, they also knew that with the Galaxy Master's display of strength, he had undoubtedly attracted the attention of Human Civilization.
It was already too late to send a Ninth Stage powerhouse to assassinate him.
Attempting to do so might even result in their own demise, as they could be ambushed by strong individuals from Human Civilization.
In the Milky Way Main Star...
Lin Yuan sat cross-legged, his consciousness descending into his inner world.
There, fifty planet-sized Taiwei Clear Crystals were piled up, almost completely consumed, having fueled the expansion of his inner world to 3,750,000 li in radius.
This was after a fivefold increase in size due to amplification; the base size of his inner world was 750,000 li in radius.
"Now I can absorb the liquid from the mysterious gourd." Lin Yuan immediately took out the gourd.
His main body in the physical world had stopped absorbing the liquid at the second orange-yellow liquid, but in the Spirit Realm, he was about to finish absorbing the fourth green liquid, with an amplification of thirteen times.
Humm...
Siiiip...
Lin Yuan began absorbing the liquid from the mysterious gourd.
His physical body's 'Blood Rebirth' divine ability had been greatly enhanced, easily resisting the burning of the orange-yellow liquid.
Just over ten days had passed.
Lin Yuan's absorption of the liquid in the Spirit Realm had caught up with his main body's progress in the physical world.
Boom!
His inner world underwent frenzied expansion. If Lin Yuan hadn't made prior preparations, the spatial fluctuations caused by the expansion would have swept through the Milky Way Main Star.
"Finally."
Lin Yuan's consciousness descended into his inner world, which had now reached its expansion limit, with a radius of nearly one billion li.
Vast and boundless, it stretched as far as the eye could see.
