Chapter 304: Goodwill from the 'Ancient God' (End of Preview)
"The Gate of Myriad Worlds."
Lin Yuan's heart stirred at the mention of it.
The Gate of Myriad Worlds was undoubtedly Lin Yuan's trump card. Even the mysterious gourd paled in comparison.
Any change in the Gate of Myriad Worlds would naturally capture Lin Yuan's full attention.
"Can this black sphere cause the Gate of Myriad Worlds to react on its own? Does it contain coordinates to a world?"
Lin Yuan speculated. In the past, the Gate had only reacted when he approached the coordinates of another world.
Of course, there could be other explanations as well.
Lin Yuan's understanding of the Gate of Myriad Worlds was still quite limited, largely due to his insufficient strength, which prevented him from claiming ownership of the Gate.
As a result, he could only make educated guesses about its behavior.
"Can I take a look at it?" Lin Yuan asked, turning to Xi Lan.
"What's there to ask? Take it." Xi Lan casually tossed the black sphere to Lin Yuan.
Buzz.
As soon as the sphere made contact with Lin Yuan's right hand, a stream of information flowed through his skin and into his body, eventually merging with the Gate of Myriad Worlds.
At the bottom of the Gate, a new set of world coordinates slowly appeared, joining the nine already present.
"As expected, it's coordinates to a world."
Lin Yuan's spirits lifted.
"But are these coordinates from another dimensional world?"
Lin Yuan was delighted.
With the Gate of Myriad Worlds, world coordinates were like an unguarded treasure trove to him.
"Is your most precious treasure these world coordinates? Could these coordinates be from the homeland of the master of that place of opportunity?"
Lin Yuan speculated silently.
According to Xi Lan, the master of the place of opportunity had accidentally strayed into the dimensional gap and eventually became a follower of the great 'Sovereign'.
Being stranded in an unfamiliar dimensional gap, the master must have longed for their homeland. However, the gap between dimensions was akin to an insurmountable chasm, even for the most powerful beings.
Even if one possessed the coordinates to their homeland, it was meaningless.
The master of the place of opportunity was a follower of the great 'Sovereign' of the Xuan Huang Secret Realm, and this 'Sovereign', based on current information, was at least an invincible existence.
Lin Yuan found it hard to believe that the master had never sought the 'Sovereign's' help in returning home.
With world coordinates, an invincible powerhouse could lock onto any world in the same dimension. However, if the worlds were separated by different dimensions, even an invincible powerhouse would be powerless.
"Did you discern anything?" Xi Lan asked expectantly, his gaze fixed on Lin Yuan.
He had developed a near-blind 'admiration' for Lin Yuan. After studying the sphere for so long without understanding it, he now pinned his hopes on Lin Yuan, expecting him to gain some insight with just a few glances.
"No." Lin Yuan shook his head.
In truth, he already knew what the black sphere was, and had replicated the most valuable world coordinates within it onto the Gate of Myriad Worlds.
However, this was not something he could openly reveal.
Lin Yuan would never disclose any information about the Gate of Myriad Worlds to others.
"I see." Xi Lan sighed. Back then, the place of opportunity had contained numerous treasures, and he had chosen the most precious one according to the wishes of its master.
As for the other treasures, he had no choice but to leave them behind as Masa Doering was hot on his trail. Xi Lan only had time to grab one item before making his escape.
He had initially thought that he had obtained a great opportunity, but now it seemed that it might have been a wasted effort.
This left Xi Lan feeling rather dejected. He had been pursued relentlessly by Masa Doering, even risking the destruction of this clone, and now it appeared that he had been chased for nothing?
"After we return, we can give it to the three goddesses to examine. Perhaps they'll be able to identify it," Lin Yuan said as he returned the black sphere to Xi Lan.
The sphere no longer held any significance for Lin Yuan since he had already replicated the most important world coordinates within it.
"Yes, that's true."
"Just because I can't recognize it doesn't mean the three goddesses can't."
Xi Lan nodded slightly. Many of the treasures found in the various places of opportunity within the Xuan Huang Secret Realm were of rare origin.
It was only natural that he couldn't identify them all.
The two continued to examine the black sphere for a while before shifting the topic to more important matters.
"Galaxy Master, what are your plans now?" Xi Lan asked.
"I plan to take a look at the core region," Lin Yuan replied.
Many powerful beings were curious about the core region of the Xuan Huang Secret Realm and wanted to explore it.
Lin Yuan's intention to venture there was perfectly normal and didn't seem like an unusual request.
"The core region, huh?" Xi Lan pondered for a moment. "Actually, I was planning to enter the core region this time as well."
"Then why don't we go together?"
Xi Lan suggested.
The Xuan Huang Secret Realm had opened numerous times before.
Xi Lan had entered it several times himself and had explored many areas in the outer and inner regions.
The only place he hadn't visited was the core region.
Now was the perfect time to go and take a look.
"Galaxy Master, although my direct combat strength is far inferior to yours, I'm quite adept at escaping and preserving my life," Xi Lan said proactively.
The fact that he had easily escaped from Masa Doering, whose strength was close to a million jin, was a testament to that.
Lin Yuan knew that he wouldn't be able to do the same.
While he could stand his ground and drive away Masa Doering, it would be challenging for him to use the layers of space to ensure that Masa Doering couldn't touch him.
"Alright, then."
Lin Yuan thought about it and didn't refuse.
They were still far from the core region, and it would take at least a decade or two to cross the vast inner region.
Having a companion during that time wouldn't be a bad idea.
As for after they entered the core region and faced that 'calling'...
At that time, Lin Yuan could easily find an excuse to separate from Xi Lan.
Galaxy Master.
Lin Yuan opened his eyes, his expression filled with joy.
"A huge harvest!" Lin Yuan's consciousness sank into the depths of his mind, gazing at the new set of world coordinates at the bottom of the Gate of Myriad Worlds, a smile spreading across his face.
His purpose in entering the Xuan Huang Secret Realm this time had been to investigate that 'calling'.
However, he had unexpectedly gained an additional treasure—a set of world coordinates from another dimensional world!
Coordinates from another dimensional world were useless to most powerful beings, even invincible ones.
They served no purpose.
Without the ability to break through the dimensional barrier, what use were a set of world coordinates?
But Lin Yuan was different. With the Gate of Myriad Worlds, he could easily descend upon any world, no matter how many dimensions or timelines separated them.
It was something that even invincible powerhouses couldn't achieve, yet Lin Yuan could do it by expending just a strand of boundary-breaking source power.
Of course, a single strand of boundary-breaking source power could only allow Lin Yuan to perform a random crossing. As Lin Yuan's strength increased, the drawbacks of random crossings would become more pronounced.
When Lin Yuan was at the first or second stage, no matter which world he descended upon, it would greatly benefit him due to his low starting point and high potential for growth.
However, at the fifth, sixth, eighth, and ninth stages, the number of worlds that could provide him with assistance would decrease.
That was precisely why, during his eighth crossing, Lin Yuan had chosen to go to the 'Spirit Realm' instead of randomly crossing over.
What if he ended up in a low martial arts world like the seventh crossing, where he couldn't even recover to the sixth stage or manifest the Godly Parasite? Wouldn't that be a waste of boundary-breaking source power?
He was curious about the world behind these coordinates, as it was the homeland of the master of the place of opportunity within the Xuan Huang Secret Realm, a follower of the great 'Sovereign'.
And to become a follower of such a powerful being, one could not be weak.
Therefore, it could be inferred that the master's home world would not be of a low level.
If it were, it would have likely been crushed by the pressure of the dimensional gap.
Buzz!
Lin Yuan divided a strand of his consciousness and, following the world coordinates, crossed through the dimensional barrier to descend upon a vast world.
"This world..."
Lin Yuan observed carefully, his vision now that of the Gate of Myriad Worlds, allowing him to see many things that he normally couldn't.
The last time he had traveled through the Gate, Lin Yuan had observed the Spirit Realm and had even seen the 'Immortal Realm' above it.
It was worth noting that the Immortal Realm and the Spirit Realm did not exist within the same spatial layer; only the ninth layer of the Spirit Realm connected to the spatial layer where the Immortal Realm resided.
Moments later,
Lin Yuan's strand of consciousness dissipated.
"The flow of time in this world is roughly two to three hundred times faster than that of the main world."
Lin Yuan speculated.
By comparing the time flow, he could deduce the level of this world, which seemed to be much stronger than the Spirit Realm. The time flow ratio between the Spirit Realm and the main universe was five hundred to one.
While using only the time flow to determine the strength of a world was rather arbitrary, it did reflect the world's foundation to a large extent.
"And that world seems rather special." Lin Yuan's expression turned pensive.
"For my ninth crossing, I'll prioritize descending upon this world." Lin Yuan made his decision.
Although he possessed the coordinates to the Immortal Realm, the existence of the 'Taoist Ancestor', a being comparable to the invincible Sovereign, made him hesitant.
Aside from the Taoist Ancestor, Lin Yuan was also unsure if there were other Ancestors of the Great Path.
The Immortal Realm's level was a bit too high for Lin Yuan's current strength. He planned to consider descending upon it once he reached the tenth or eleventh stage.
As for his current ninth stage, Lin Yuan was more satisfied with the newly discovered world.

In the domain of the Tianyu Tribe.
On a massive planet.
The Tianyu Tribe's strongest ninth-stage lifeform, 'Huny', opened his eyes.
"Where is that Galaxy Master in the Xuan Huang Secret Realm?"
Huny frowned, having learned that the Galaxy Master had also entered the Xuan Huang Secret Realm. He immediately began searching for the Galaxy Master's traces.
The Galaxy Master had humiliated the Tianyu Tribe by slaughtering their eighth-stage undefeatables like chickens on battlefield B0001, and this insult had enraged countless Tianyu Tribe powerhouses.
Huny was no exception.
In the main universe, the Galaxy Master was within the human domain, right under the invincible beings' noses, so Huny had no opportunity to make a move.
Even in the future, on the large alien race battlefield, it was uncertain if the human civilization would allow the Galaxy Master to participate.
And if they did, they would definitely provide him with numerous trump cards and backup plans.
Huny himself was not confident that he could deal with the Galaxy Master.
But in the Xuan Huang Secret Realm, Huny believed that he would be able to do something about the Galaxy Master.
"Hmm?"
"There's a powerful being who saw the Galaxy Master fighting with Masa Doering?"
Huny immediately tried to contact Masa Doering.
The Tianyu Tribe had a good relationship with Masa Doering's 'Ancient God' ancestor, and several of the Tianyu Tribe's leaders were close friends with the Ancient God.
Not long after,
Masa Doering's projection appeared before Huny.
"Masa," Huny looked at Masa Doering, "I heard you fought with the Galaxy Master?"
"Yes, some time ago, I did come into contact with the Galaxy Master due to a treasure." Masa Doering did not deny it.
"Since you've had contact, with your means, Masa, you should be able to roughly lock onto the Galaxy Master's location through the rule of cause and effect, right?"
Huny continued to ask.
Masa Doering had fought directly with the Galaxy Master, creating a great deal of cause and effect, which could be used to roughly lock onto the Galaxy Master's location through the connection between cause and effect.
Of course, this kind of lock required equal strength.
If those eighth-stage undefeatable Tianyu Tribe members whom Lin Yuan had killed tried to lock onto a ninth-stage being like Lin Yuan through cause and effect, it was uncertain if they could do it, and they would even suffer cause and effect backlash.
"Well..."
Masa Doering hesitated.
"Rest assured, as long as you tell me the Galaxy Master's location, I, Huny, will definitely repay you handsomely."
Huny said solemnly.
"Huny, it's not that I don't want to tell you, but I really don't know. That Galaxy Master is also very proficient in the rule of cause and effect, and I can't lock onto him."
Masa Doering shook his head.
"More proficient in the rule of cause and effect than you?" Huny was surprised.
"Yes."
Masa Doering nodded.
"In that case, forget it."
Huny didn't suspect anything.
He cut off the connection with Masa Doering.
In another part of the universe.
Masa Doering watched Huny's projection disappear.
He heaved a sigh of relief.
"Ancestor,"
"Is it really okay for us to deceive Huny like this?"
Masa Doering looked to the side, where a more massive figure sat.
It was Masa Doering's 'Ancient God' ancestor.
After his encounter with Lin Yuan, Masa Doering had proactively informed his ancestor about everything.
Because he felt that Lin Yuan's talent was too terrifying, and even if he revealed information about Huny, he still didn't feel secure, so he sought his ancestor's advice.
And just now, when Huny contacted him, Masa Doering had been considering whether or not to agree to Huny's request.
After all, Huny was from the Tianyu Tribe, and he was the tribe's strongest ninth-stage lifeform, who might even become a Heavenly Lord in the future.
But before Masa Doering could make up his mind, his Ancient God ancestor had signaled for him not to reveal the Galaxy Master's location.
"Deceive? What do you mean by deceive?"
The Ancient God ancestor glared at Masa Doering, "In my long journey through the universe, what have I relied on?"
"Eyesight!"
The Ancient God ancestor said solemnly, "That Galaxy Master's strength, if it's really as you described, with his talent and aptitude surpassing the rumors, how could he have the strength to repel you so soon after reaching the ninth stage?"
"But Huny..."
Masa Doering was still a little worried.
He had used the excuse that the Galaxy Master was also proficient in the rule of cause and effect to turn down Huny's request. This could be easily verified if another ninth-stage powerful being who was skilled in the rule of cause and effect had fought with the Galaxy Master and could then use cause and effect sensing to confirm if the Galaxy Master was skilled in the same rule.
Masa Doering was worried that Huny would discover that he was just stalling for time.
"But what?"
The Ancient God ancestor rolled his eyes, "That Huny, at most, will only reach the tenth stage, but the Galaxy Master has a high probability of reaching the eleventh stage, and with the human civilization's importance to him, he might even have a chance to take that final step."
"If we offend Huny, I, your ancestor, can still protect you."
The Ancient God ancestor glanced at Masa Doering.
"But if we offend the Galaxy Master, in the future, even I might be implicated by you."
