Chapter 282: Suggestion to Invite the Galaxy Master Over (Seeking Subscription)
"A World Tree Sapling?"
Lin Yuan also found this treasure on the rewards list.
In fact, Lin Yuan had long been interested in the World Tree sapling, as it was one of the few treasures he recognized.
In the main universe's starry sky, the World Tree is a rare and coveted treasure.
The World Fruits it bears can help Evolvers create their inner worlds in advance, giving them a significant advantage over their peers at the same level.
It is worth noting that even with Lin Yuan's heaven-defying comprehension talent, he barely managed to condense his inner world when he was at the peak of the sixth stage and challenging the seventh.
Meanwhile, the World Fruit can directly accomplish this feat, indicating the immense value of the World Tree.
"You have fused the space rules with dozens of universal powers, establishing an incredibly solid foundation. Your inner world must also be anchored by a treasure of sufficient caliber," said the humanoid stone statue, Shen Ji.
"The World Tree would be perfect for that."
"Indeed," Shen Ji agreed.
The World Tree has numerous uses, one of which is anchoring and stabilizing the energy rules of one's inner world—earth, fire, water, and wind.
A single World Tree is far more valuable than thousands or even tens of thousands of universal treasures.
Moreover, having a World Tree in one's inner world can facilitate additional expansion to a certain extent, potentially breaking free from the thousand-mile radius limitation imposed on humans' inner worlds.
"Among the treasures in the second layer of the first level of the reward treasury, the World Tree sapling is ranked in the top three, and I even think it's the best," Shen Ji stated.
The reason he said 'think' is that at the level of the World Tree sapling, it's challenging to differentiate between the first and second rankings; it entirely depends on one's personal suitability.
"Then, I'll go with the World Tree sapling," Lin Yuan nodded.
Even without Shen Ji's suggestion, Lin Yuan would most likely have chosen this sapling eventually.
After all, given humanity's understanding of the World Tree, Lin Yuan yearned to possess one himself.
"Generally, the richer the foundation of one's inner world, the faster the World Tree sapling will grow," Shen Ji explained.
"Understood," Lin Yuan acknowledged.
Once the World Tree matures, it will bear World Fruits, which are incredibly precious treasures. Even if Lin Yuan didn't want to use them himself, he could easily sell them.
It's estimated that even the strongest beings would be willing to pay a hefty price for World Fruits, as they could lay a solid foundation for their offspring.
With the World Fruit, even a sixth-stage Evolver could create an inner world, essentially a weakened version of the Star Sea Dragon.
"As for the third treasure, I don't have any particular suggestions for now," Shen Ji offered.
"No suggestions yet," Lin Yuan murmured as he scanned the rewards list again.
At the moment, he lacked nothing, and he wasn't sure which treasure to choose.
If he made the wrong choice, he might regret it for a long time.
"Senior Shen Ji, can I keep the last reward selection for later use?" Lin Yuan asked tentatively.
Once chosen, the treasures on the rewards list couldn't be changed, so Lin Yuan wanted to leave it for later.
"Sure," Shen Ji nodded.
If it were during the prosperous times of the Magic Jade Tower, when countless challengers entered the Black Tower at every moment, it would be advantageous to choose the treasures from the rewards list as early as possible.
After all, if one took too long to decide, another challenger might select the desired treasure first. But now?
For countless millennia, Lin Yuan had been the only challenger, and it was predictable that this situation would continue for a long while.
Thus, there was no risk of the treasures on the rewards list being taken by someone else.
Without any other challengers, who else would make a selection?
"Are you planning to give the second layer a try?" Shen Ji asked with a smile.
Only eighth-stage lives that had comprehended complete space rules or various powerful universal forces would have a chance to pass through the first layer of the Black Tower.
As for the second layer, it had nothing to do with eighth-stage lives; only an extremely powerful fraction of ninth-stage lives could hope to overcome it.
Even Lin Yuan, who had comprehended dozens of universal forces, including the Origin-level Universal Force, had no chance of passing through the second layer.
The essence of life was the key; while the Origin-level Universal Force had infinite potential, it required further growth to reach its full potential. Lin Yuan was only at the eighth stage, and even with the Origin-level Universal Force, it was impossible for him to pass through the second layer.
Shen Ji's inquiry about Lin Yuan's intention to attempt the second layer was merely out of boredom, hoping to keep Lin Yuan in this trial space for a little longer.
"Okay," Lin Yuan nodded.
Following the black staircase, he arrived at the second layer of the Black Tower.
Upon seeing this, Shen Ji's figure disappeared into the distance and reappeared outside the nine-story Black Tower.
Whoosh!
Layer upon layer of scenes appeared before Shen Ji, depicting the intricacies of the second layer.
"The pressure has increased significantly."
As soon as Lin Yuan appeared in the second layer, he felt an overwhelming and omnipresent pressure from all directions.
He activated various universal forces, including the Origin-level Universal Force, as he took difficult steps toward the central black staircase of the second layer.
But the next moment, dozens of universal powers crumbled, including the Origin-level Universal Force, turning into nothingness.
Without the protection of these universal powers, Lin Yuan's body also faded into nonexistence.
"Failed?" Shen Ji, the humanoid stone statue outside the nine-story Black Tower, remained unfazed, showing no hint of surprise.
In fact, it was already astonishing that Lin Yuan had managed to cover a third of the distance in the second layer.
After all, this layer was exclusively designed for ninth-stage lives, and by covering a third of the distance, Lin Yuan had essentially surpassed many ninth-stage beings.
Some of the stronger entities among the ninth-stage lives would even pale in comparison to Lin Yuan.
Of course, this comparison solely pertained to their mental fortitude and mastery over various universal powers.
The might of ninth-stage lives extended far beyond these aspects, but the Black Tower specifically tested these attributes.
"What a pity. If you had appeared earlier, during the heyday of the Magic Jade Tower, you would have received far more than just these few reward treasures," Shen Ji sighed.
Given Lin Yuan's displayed talent and aptitude, the master of the Magic Jade Tower would have undoubtedly nurtured him as a prized protege. However, now, these treasures would have to suffice as emergency support.
Galaxy Master Star.
Lin Yuan opened his eyes once more.
"The second layer was too difficult," he mused.
Lin Yuan's expression turned pensive as he recalled his experience in the first layer of the Black Tower. After traversing a third of the distance, illusory creatures would materialize out of thin air.
Yet, Lin Yuan hadn't even caught a glimpse of these creatures before being crushed by the omnipresent pressure, despite his array of universal powers.
"I wonder if I would be able to overcome the second layer if I comprehended the complete space rules," Lin Yuan wondered silently.
While the complete space rules wouldn't grant him the ability to teleport or shift within the second layer, they could help him significantly weaken the oppressive pressure bearing down on him.
The space rules were profound and enigmatic. By harnessing their power, Lin Yuan could distort and stretch the space around him, transforming it into a vast expanse of thousands of miles.
Even the most intense pressure would be greatly diminished upon entering this warped space.
"I have a feeling that even if I fully comprehend the space rules, my chances of overcoming the second layer are slim," Lin Yuan shook his head slightly.
According to Shen Ji, the second layer of the Black Tower was exclusively designed for ninth-stage lives, and only an extremely powerful fraction of them could hope to surpass it.
In other words, most ninth-stage lives had no hope of conquering the second layer.
As for those who had mastered the complete space rules, while some ninth-stage lives had failed to achieve this feat, it was clear that they were still a minority.
Many ninth-stage lives who had mastered the complete space rules still fell short of overcoming the challenges of the second layer.
"I still have one trump card left—the divine ability 'Reinforcement,'" Lin Yuan thought to himself.
The reason he hadn't used the divine ability 'Reinforcement' earlier was that it would have been meaningless at the time, as he had only covered a third of the distance.
Using 'Reinforcement' then would have only lasted for ten breaths, making it impossible for him to traverse the remaining two-thirds of the layer.
"We'll see about that later," Lin Yuan concluded, refocusing his thoughts.
The rewards offered by the nine-layer Black Tower were simply too enticing for Lin Yuan to pass up. He wouldn't easily squander this opportunity.
Even if he couldn't overcome the second layer as an eighth-stage being, he would undoubtedly return to try again once he reached the ninth stage.
"World Tree," Lin Yuan muttered, his eyes gleaming with fervor as he gazed at the sapling before him.
"The master of the Magic Jade Tower has an incredible grasp of space. Through the Magic Jade imprint, he directly sent this World Tree sapling to me," Lin Yuan marveled.
He was filled with awe as he considered the implications. The entity that had descended into the Magic Jade Space was merely a fragment of Lin Yuan's mental will, incapable of bringing back physical objects.
Despite the vast distance between the Magic Jade Space and the main world, and the possibility that they existed in entirely different dimensions, the master had managed to achieve this feat. Even Lin Yuan found it astonishing.
This ability resembled the Myriad Worlds Gate to some extent.
By expending sufficient Break Realm Source Power, the Myriad Worlds Gate could transport objects from the main world into the traversing worlds or bring items back from those worlds to the main one.
Of course, it was only a loose resemblance.
The Myriad Worlds Gate's ability to transport items across different dimensional planes far surpassed the concept of space, making it infinitely more advanced than the master of the Magic Jade Tower's ability.
Regardless of the distance, the Magic Jade Space and the main world existed within the same dimension and plane.
"Quickly plant the World Tree in my inner world," Lin Yuan thought, and with a subtle movement of his mind, he brought the World Tree sapling into his inner world.
In the boundless inner world that spanned a billion miles, Lin Yuan appeared, holding a half-meter-tall tree sapling in his hands.
He gently placed the sapling on the ground, and its roots began to burrow into the soil, slowly absorbing the energy of the world.
Lin Yuan's expression stirred as he felt a strange sensation while the World Tree took root in his inner world.
It was as if this World Tree were his own bloodline offspring.
"It's absorbing the power of the world," Lin Yuan clearly sensed as the World Tree sapling slowly absorbed the world's energy into its trunk.
As the power of the world entered the World Tree sapling, Lin Yuan also realized that he was rapidly refining this sapling.
"There aren't any noticeable changes."
Lin Yuan slightly sensed his inner world and found that the World Tree sapling wasn't having any effect yet.
"Let's be patient."
Lin Yuan understood that the World Tree was still too small, and even with its unbelievably high quality, it couldn't possibly affect his inner world that spanned a billion miles.
Galaxy Master Star.
After settling the World Tree sapling, Lin Yuan began to comprehend the *Interpretation of the Void*.
The evolved scholars of the main world's human civilization divided the complete space rules into basic space models and core space models.
One could master the complete space rules by understanding these two types of space models.
However, this was merely the understanding of the evolved scholars of human civilization. In reality, the space rules were boundless and endless, and a mere few thousand or tens of thousands of space models couldn't possibly encompass the true extent of the space rules.
The so-called basic and core space models were just attempts by human evolvers to understand a single facet of the space rules.
The *Interpretation of the Void* written by the Master of the Magic Jade Tower, on the other hand, interpreted the space rules from a perspective entirely different from that of humans.
In the Master's understanding, all things in the world originated from space, and various rules such as the five elements, thunder, and light were all part of the space rules.
"So, this is another way to comprehend the space rules?"
"There's another aspect to the space rules?"
Lin Yuan became engrossed, and insights flashed through his mind continuously.
As he constantly comprehended the *Interpretation of the Void*, his understanding of space models deepened as well.
Soon, he gained insight into the sixth thousandth core space model and rapidly progressed toward the seventh thousandth.
Battlefield B0001.
This medium-sized battlefield was the oldest among all the battlefields, a place where the human civilization and the peak race, the Celestial Feather Clan, engaged in bloody battles.
The Celestial Feather Clan resembled humans, with heights ranging from five to ten meters. However, they had white wings, and these wings symbolized their status, potential, and power within the clan.
For the past two million years, countless human evolvers had fought fiercely with the Celestial Feather Clan, and the intensity of this war even surpassed that of the conflict between humans and the Insect Tribe.
Every day, numerous human evolvers perished at the hands of the Celestial Feather Clan's powerful members, and similarly, many Celestial Feather Clan elites fell to the human civilization's evolvers.
At this moment.
On one side of Battlefield B0001, dozens of Undefeated Eighth-Stage evolvers gathered to discuss their war strategy against the Celestial Feather Clan.
"In a few years at most, the Celestial Feather Clan will undoubtedly launch an all-out war to determine the ownership of that star domain," said the leader of the group, a short and stout Eighth-Stage Undefeated. His tone was grave.
Human civilization had specifically designated numerous battlefields to contain the impact of wars and minimize their scope.
If the battles weren't contained within these designated areas and instead took place in the vastness of space, countless planets would undoubtedly be destroyed.
Even if one side emerged victorious, they would be left with a devastated star domain.
Previously, Lin Yuan had gone to the Galaxy Star Domain to take up the position of Star Master, and the original owner of that star domain was the Shadow Tribe.
The Shadow Tribe had lost to the human civilization in the designated battlefields and thus conceded a portion of their star domain.
This was also agreed upon by the various peak races in the Grand Alliance.
And now.
The upcoming war between the human civilization and the Celestial Feather Clan would determine the ownership of a vast star domain.
"The Celestial Feather Clan is well-prepared and determined to win that star domain. They've mobilized several Eighth-Stage Undefeated members, and our human civilization doesn't stand a good chance," said a woman in green.
It wasn't that humans were inferior to the Celestial Feather Clan, but a large number of evolvers had been dispatched to fight another peak race recently, resulting in a shortage of combatants for this war.
"I have a suggestion," said one of the Eighth-Stage Undefeated members.
"Go on," the short and stout elder immediately urged.
He, too, was worried about the upcoming war with the Celestial Feather Clan.
"Not long ago, the Galaxy Star drove away five Eighth-Stage Undefeated members of the alien race."
"He repelled three and killed two. His fame resounds through the stars."
The third Eighth-Stage Undefeated added, "So, my suggestion is..."
This Eighth-Stage Undefeated member looked around and said, "We should invite the Galaxy Master over, no matter the cost."
