Chapter 295: Multidimensional Life
Chapter 295: Multidimensional Life (End of Chapter)
It was only after the reminder from the Wisdom Goddess that the observation bureau gradually lowered its guard.
Relieved, the staff couldn't help but whisper among themselves.
"Did the Wisdom Goddess say that the energy fluctuations in that star field were caused by an Evolver breaking through to the ninth tier?"
"Breaking through to the ninth tier caused such a huge disturbance?"
Quite a few staff members were curious, as they had never witnessed an Evolver breaking through to such a level.
However, they vaguely felt that something was amiss. Even if an eighth-tier pinnacle Evolver completely fused with the rules, their inner world would only span a few million li.
Taking into account their physical body, soul, spirit, and will, even if they underwent a 'qualitative change' in every aspect during their breakthrough, causing their energy fluctuations to increase by dozens or even hundreds of times, it would still only affect an area equivalent to seven or eight stars.
But the energy fluctuations they had just observed had an impact spanning over ten light-years. Even if a hundred or a thousand eighth-tier Evolvers broke through to the ninth tier simultaneously, it shouldn't have caused such a vast disturbance.
"There's no way that breaking through from the eighth tier to the ninth tier would create such a ruckus."
"But since the Wisdom Goddess said so, she must have her reasons."
Although the staff didn't understand, they didn't doubt the Wisdom Goddess.
"I wonder which eighth-tier Evolver managed to break through to the ninth tier?"
"It's hard to guess. There are so many eighth-tier pinnacle Evolvers in our human civilization, and many of them travel the universe in search of a breakthrough. They could have broken through anywhere."
"Regardless, our human civilization has gained another ninth-tier Evolver. Judging by the magnitude of their breakthrough, they're definitely not an ordinary ninth-tier. Long live the eternal prosperity of mankind!"
The staff's spirits were lifted. Although they themselves hadn't broken through, they were still part of human civilization, and the stronger it became, the better their lives would be.
In the cruel competition among the myriad tribes of the universe, the fate of those from weaker tribes was often tragic.
For example, those from tribes with small numbers were often captured and had their blood essence extracted to refine bloodline potions.
Was this because those tribes were willing to make sacrifices?
Of course not.
It was because they were too weak.
To be clear, 'weak' in this context referred to their power relative to the entire human civilization.
Individuals from these special tribes were often quite powerful, starting off on par with geniuses among human Evolvers.
Unlike the staff's lively discussion, Team Leader Wang Xin remained calm.
"Galaxy Domain."
For some reason, Team Leader Wang Xin immediately thought of the Galaxy Master, who had created countless miracles.
Although it was widely believed that the Galaxy Master would almost certainly enter the ninth tier, it was expected to happen at least a hundred years from now.
The later stages of rule fusion were challenging to navigate, and since the Galaxy Master had comprehended the complete spatial rule, the difficulty of fusing with the rule should be even higher.
After all, controlling the fusion of a partial spatial rule should be easier than controlling the fusion of a complete spatial rule.
But Team Leader Wang Xin had a strange hunch that the ninth-tier Evolver the Wisdom Goddess mentioned was the Galaxy Master.
The Galaxy Master had created too many miracles, and now it seemed almost normal for him to break through to the ninth tier ahead of schedule.
"Every time an Evolver from our human civilization enters the ninth tier, we announce it to the rest of the universe as a show of strength. There's no need to hide it."
"We'll find out soon enough if it was the Galaxy Master or not when the announcement is made."
Team Leader Wang Xin thought to himself, a hint of anticipation flashing across his face.
In the desolate starry sky, Lin Yuan continued to sense the changes within himself.
The advancement from the eighth tier to the ninth tier was a major leap, and his inner world had become thicker and more substantial, giving rise to countless space layers, while his life essence had also been elevated.
"I can now vaguely sense the passage of time."
Lin Yuan closed his eyes slightly. The essence of a ninth-tier life form was powerful enough to detect subtle fluctuations in time.
Time was one of the fundamental rules of the universe, and it was even more abstruse and cryptic than the spatial rule.
Life forms below the ninth tier couldn't even sense the time rule, let alone comprehend it.
Lin Yuan possessed heaven-defying comprehension talent. If he forcefully comprehended some time-related evolution paths, he could understand the time rule, but it would be extremely arduous.
"If I can comprehend the time rule to a certain extent, can I control the flow of time on my body's surface, causing my body to only experience a year or a decade while the outside world passes through tens of thousands of years? Would this be another form of longevity?"
Lin Yuan wondered to himself.
This was the reason why those who comprehended the time rule, though not the strongest, could achieve a different kind of 'eternity'.
Of course, this so-called 'eternity' was ultimately just an alternative, and no matter how one controlled the flow of time, their lifespan would eventually come to an end.
"The cultivation of the ninth tier can be mainly divided into two aspects."
"The first is to open up countless space layers in one's inner world. This is the foundation of a ninth-tier cultivator's strength, and the various cultivation stages within the ninth tier are also named after this concept."
Lin Yuan's thoughts spread out.
There were five stages in the ninth tier.
The Tenfold Realm.
The Myriad Realm.
The Ten Million Realm.
The Million Realm.
And the Supreme Realm.
The 'tenfold', 'myriad', 'ten million', 'million', and 'supreme' referred to the number of space layers in one's inner world.
Tenfold meant ten space layers.
Myriad meant myriad space layers.
And so on, with Supreme referring to a million space layers.
The space layers represented the depth of one's inner world, which was the foundation of an Evolver's power.
The stronger one's inner world was, the more potent the world's power would be, and the more effective it would be in nurturing an Evolver's physical body, soul, spirit, and will.
"My inner world currently has around thirty-nine thousand space layers, which means I'm in the Myriad Realm of the ninth tier, and I'm not even considered weak within this realm?"
A smile appeared on Lin Yuan's face.
Those who had just entered the ninth tier often only had a single-digit number of space layers, not even reaching the Tenfold Realm.
"No wonder they say that those who were undefeated in the eighth tier progress very quickly once they enter the ninth tier. The power of the universe has a significant boosting effect on the creation of space layers."
Lin Yuan had comprehended dozens of ordinary universal powers, over ten high-level universal powers, and one origin-level universal power.
Having only just stepped into the ninth tier, he had already created nearly forty thousand space layers.
This fact alone put him light-years ahead of those who had to cultivate for tens or even hundreds of thousands of years to reach the same stage.
"Most importantly, the boosting effect of the power of the universe on the creation of space layers is not a one-time thing, but rather a continuous process."
Lin Yuan sensed it again and came to a conclusion.
In other words, as Lin Yuan continued to create more space layers, it would be much easier for him compared to other ninth-tier Evolvers.
"As for the second aspect of cultivation in the ninth tier, it is to comprehend the time rule."
"However, this doesn't make much of a difference, at least not until one reaches the Supreme Realm. There won't be any significant distinctions."
Lin Yuan thought to himself.
Even if a ninth-tier Evolver could comprehend the time rule, it would be a tenuous understanding, and even reaching the entry-level would be difficult.
Lin Yuan had finished observing the changes in his body, and his figure suddenly vanished as he returned to the Galaxy Main Star.
**Galaxy Main Star**
The place was already in chaos.
Even the Central Star Domain in the middle star region had detected an A-level energy disturbance in the Galaxy Star Domain.
As the core of the Galaxy Star Domain, the Galaxy Main Star had naturally also picked up on this disturbance.
And compared to the observation branch in the Central Star Domain, the numerous Evolvers on the Galaxy Main Star felt it more concretely and keenly.
They were also more rattled by it.
In the face of such a massive energy disturbance, even powerful eighth-tier Evolvers felt as fragile as dust.
"What's going on?"
"How could there be such a powerful energy disturbance?"
Red Skin and Green Eyes, the two eighth-tier aliens, furrowed their brows. They had experience managing the Red Coi Main Star and had diligently served Lin Yuan in managing the Galaxy Main Star over the years.
Now that they had detected such an event in the Galaxy Star Domain, they immediately became concerned.
"Unclear."
"But that surge of energy erupted in a desolate region of the star domain, so there shouldn't be any losses."
Chun Bo and Jia Li shook their heads, their hearts filled with apprehension.
They had also predicted several possibilities, one of which was an alien invasion.
If that were the case, given the magnitude of the energy disturbance, it would have to be at least a ninth-tier alien, no, it would take the combined arrival of several ninth-tier aliens to achieve this.
Heavens!
Several ninth-tier aliens? The Evolvers present had never laid eyes on so many ninth-tier powerhouses in their lifetimes.
"Has this been reported to the Star Master?"
Chun Bo calmed himself and immediately asked.
Regardless of whether it was an alien invasion or not, this matter should be reported to Lin Yuan first. He was the pillar of support for the Galaxy Main Star and even the entire Galaxy Star Domain.
"We've made contact."
"The Star Master didn't reply to me."
Red Skin hesitated.
"No reply?"
Jia Li was taken aback, and his tone turned solemn. "Try contacting him again."
At that moment, a figure appeared in the hall.
"No need to worry."
Lin Yuan swept his gaze across the group, his tone gentle.
Having broken through to the ninth tier, Lin Yuan was in a good mood, and his tone had softened.
"Star Master."
"Star Master, you're here."
The anxious hearts of the Evolvers in the room quickly calmed.
"Star Master."
Mo Li and Wu Lan were equally excited to see Lin Yuan.
They had been on the Galaxy Main Star for some time but had never met Lin Yuan.
"Star Master, you said not to worry." After a moment, Chun Bo asked tentatively.
As soon as he spoke, the others pricked up their ears.
The energy surge had been enormous, and it had occurred in the Galaxy Star Domain—how could they not be concerned?
"The energy surge was caused by my breakthrough to the ninth tier, and it only affected the desolate region. It won't have any impact on the life planets or resource planets."
Lin Yuan replied calmly.
He had carefully chosen the location of his breakthrough to minimize its impact.
"So it was the Star Master's doing."
Chun Bo nodded, then frowned as he realized something was amiss. "Star Master, did you just say you broke through to the ninth tier?"
The others were equally stunned, their eyes filled with shock as they looked at Lin Yuan.
A breakthrough to the ninth tier?
"Yes."
Lin Yuan nodded.
News of his breakthrough would be made public by the human civilization in due time to intimidate the myriad tribes of the universe. There was no need for secrecy.
As for why he didn't hide it as a trump card?
The human civilization did indeed cultivate Evolvers in secret, but these Evolvers were unknown from the first tier.
There was no need to hide someone like Lin Yuan, the most talented individual of his generation in the human civilization.
The human civilization was not a weak tribe that needed to hide its strength. As the most powerful peak tribe in the cosmic universe, other tribes already feared them.
The more abnormal and formidable the human civilization's talents were, the greater the intimidation factor they carried.
"Star Master, you've reached the ninth tier?"
Red Eyes and Green Skin were stunned.
They recalled the time when they had been given to Lin Yuan by the Red Coi Star Master to serve him as capable subordinates.
From the prosperous Red Coi Star Domain to the barren Galaxy Star Domain, from the eighth-tier undefeatable Red Coi Star Master to the newly ascended eighth-tier Galaxy Star Master.
Red Eyes and Green Skin, as eighth-tier aliens, couldn't help but feel a sense of disparity, even though they dared not voice these thoughts.
But now?
Lin Yuan had transcended to the ninth tier?
Had he truly surpassed their former master, the Red Coi Star Master?
"Star Master."
Mo Li's mind was in a muddle.
When he had been chosen by the Red Pattern Examiner to enter the Thirteenth Peak, he had been overjoyed, as his family's analysis had indicated that the Thirteenth Peak Master of the Red Coi lineage had immense potential.
By joining the Thirteenth Peak, he had effectively secured a powerful backer for his future.
But now?
Had this future arrived too soon?
And was this backer too powerful?
Ninth tier.
How long had it been?
And he had already reached the ninth tier?
Mo Li swallowed, suddenly feeling apprehensive.
Could he truly grasp this unexpected windfall?
"Congratulations, Star Master, on your ascension to the ninth tier."
Wu Lan was the first to react, mainly because she didn't fully understand the significance and impact of Lin Yuan's breakthrough.
There was some truth to the saying, 'ignorance is bliss.'
"Congratulations, Star Master, on your ascension to the ninth tier."
The others quickly regained their wits and echoed their congratulations.
"All of you, rise."
Lin Yuan waved his hand dismissively.
"Star Master." Jia Li spoke cautiously. "I've heard that ninth-tier Evolvers can merge with the grand cosmos. Is that true?"
You don't have to eat pork to know that a pig grunts.
The human civilization's virtual world had many videos introducing ninth-tier Evolvers.
"Merge with the grand cosmos?"
Lin Yuan smiled faintly. "It's merely a means to delve into deeper spatial layers."
Ninth-tier Evolvers' inner worlds gave birth to countless spatial layers, allowing them to explore the deeper and more distant reaches of the main universe's spatial layers.
By using the spatial layers of their inner worlds, ninth-tier Evolvers could resonate with the spatial layers of the main universe and merge with them. This was the common understanding of how ninth-tier Evolvers merged with the grand cosmos.
In this merged state, a ninth-tier Evolver could ignore any attacks unless they were locked onto within the same spatial layer.
Whether it was physical, soul, or even more mystical attacks, if they weren't within the same spatial layer, they couldn't even make contact, let alone deal damage.
This method of merging with the grand cosmos was a commonly used technique by ninth-tier Evolvers.
If the battles between eighth-tier and lower Evolvers were a contest of raw power, then the battles between ninth-tier and stronger Evolvers were a contest of finding your opponent's spatial layer.
