Chapter 326: Six Hundred Years Gone By (Seeking Subscription)
Lin Yuan did not view the Martial World as a mere cultivation ground. Instead, he saw it as a future dwelling place for martial arts cultivators who would one day ascend to become gods.
Here, martial arts cultivators referred to those who had transcended through the eight levels of true godhood via the martial arts cultivation method.
The Martial World, in comparison to these cultivators, was akin to an ocean of light or a deep abyss in contrast to the myriad gods.
"It's a pity that this world suppresses longevity too harshly. To fathom the essence of external rules and break through to the seventh level within a millennium is as difficult as ascending to the heavens."
Lin Yuan mused to himself.
The martial arts evolution path, after Lin Yuan's localization, had enhanced the exploration of one's bloodline.
While this could lead to rapid progress in the early stages, it neglected the comprehension of external rules, making it challenging to create one's own internal world.
The gods raised their divine nations not because they refused to incorporate them into their bodies, but because they couldn't. The divine nations, formed by the power of faith, couldn't be controlled absolutely like the internal worlds of eighth-stage evolvers in the main world.
Nevertheless, despite the world's rule suppression, Lin Yuan had included a method in the martial arts cultivation method to comprehend external rules and create an internal world without relying on faith.
Even if this method would never be used by future martial arts cultivators in this world, Lin Yuan still left it there.
"However, the bloodline cultivation path also has obvious advantages. It allows cultivators to bypass most bottlenecks in the early stages of cultivation with the power of their bloodlines."
Lin Yuan thought silently.
With each world he traversed, Lin Yuan tried to absorb the essence of that world's cultivation system and incorporate it into his own martial arts evolution path.
"The structure of the divine nations of this world's deities is even more stable than the internal worlds of normal eighth and ninth-stage powerhouses."
Lin Yuan closed his eyes, and within the internal worlds of his two primordial spirits, the divine nations of countless deities were swiftly analyzed, especially the main god's divine nation, whose complexity far exceeded that of a ninth-stage powerhouse with millions of layers of realm.
If Lin Yuan hadn't been an exception, having created 120 million layers of internal world, he would have been crushed by the main god.
With merely millions of layers of realm, it would have been difficult to do anything to those main gods.
Even if he could win, he wouldn't have been able to kill them completely. As long as the main gods hid in their divine nations, the power of millions of layers of realm might not have been enough.
While Lin Yuan could cut off the gods' faith from humanity to deal with them, it would have been too slow.
The main gods had been reaping the faith of humanity for who knows how many years, amassing a power of faith that could allow them to linger on for hundreds of thousands or even millions of years.
"The structure of the divine nations."
Lin Yuan carefully observed the details of the twenty-four main gods' divine nations.
[Your comprehension defies the heavens. By observing a large number of special world structures, your understanding of the world itself continues to improve.]
This message appeared three times in succession.
In an instant, a flood of insights surged into Lin Yuan's mind, and he unconsciously began to adjust the micro structure of his internal world.
"In addition to creating more spatial layers, I've also made subtle changes to the internal world itself in my Martial Arts Ninth Stage manual."
Lin Yuan was in high spirits. All this time, he had hesitated to systematically perfect the Martial Arts Ninth Stage manual.
The path he had taken was completely unrepeatable. The martial arts evolvers in the main world couldn't comprehend godheads, let alone fathom the rules contained within them.
Without Lin Yuan's heaven-defying comprehension talent, even if they were presented with a godhead, they wouldn't gain anything.
The gods of this world had possessed godheads for an incredibly long time, yet they hadn't directly comprehended the corresponding rules like Lin Yuan had.
Furthermore, godheads were unique to this world and didn't exist in the main world, so martial arts evolvers wouldn't even be able to follow the path Lin Yuan had taken.
If it couldn't be adapted and popularized, then even if Lin Yuan forcefully created a Martial Arts Ninth Stage manual, it wouldn't be remarkable.
However, by comprehending the divine nations of the countless gods and main gods, Lin Yuan had keenly grasped the key to creating the Martial Arts Ninth Stage manual.
Whether it was for the eighth, ninth, or even tenth and eleventh stages, the internal world was the foundation and the source of one's power.
The structure of the internal world had already reached its limit after constant refinement by the numerous evolutionary scholars of the human civilization in the main world.
It was like a racial shackle spanning thousands of miles, difficult to improve even by a fraction.
However, the divine nations of the gods in this world had shown Lin Yuan a direction completely different from the internal world.
In this case, Lin Yuan, with his heaven-defying comprehension talent, deduced some of the concepts of the divine nations and incorporated them into the Martial Arts Ninth Stage manual.
"If all goes well, the internal world of Martial Arts Ninth Stage evolvers will be more stable, more perfect, and easier to eventually transform into an internal universe than that of their Ninth Stage peers."
Lin Yuan was exhilarated.
In simple terms, it was as if every Martial Arts Ninth Stage evolver in the future would possess a World Tree.
The World Tree, an eleven-star top-grade cosmic treasure, had the effect of stabilizing one's internal world, and the internal world refined by Lin Yuan's Martial Arts Ninth Stage manual was no less stable than the World Tree.
Most importantly, this stability came from the internal world itself, not external forces, making it slightly easier for the internal world to eventually transform.
Of course, the World Tree had other effects besides stabilizing the internal world. But even so, Martial Arts Ninth Stage evolvers would have an inherent advantage over their peers of the same level.
It was similar to how those special lives compared to normal powerhouses of the same level.
This was a gap that came from the foundation.
There was no way around it. When faced with the same attack, your internal world was on the verge of collapse, tottering.
Meanwhile, the internal world of a Martial Arts Ninth Stage evolver would only shake slightly before returning to normal.
"Godheads, world structures, and the bloodline evolution path are my three biggest gains from this journey."
Lin Yuan thought.
The importance of the first two was without saying. As for the bloodline evolution path, although it had significant drawbacks, it also depended on the specific situation.
In the main world, many citizens had extremely low comprehension talents and were dull to the fluctuations of external rules. In such cases, the bloodline evolution path would be very suitable.
Of course, the prerequisite was that one's bloodline had to be strong enough.
Nevertheless, it was still a path, and it was much better than never becoming an evolver in one's lifetime.
"Perhaps I can also incorporate the bloodline evolution path into martial arts? Similar to how the body refinement lineage was integrated before?"
Lin Yuan pondered.
The bloodline evolution path wasn't a specific evolution path. It was more like a method or approach to utilize the power of one's bloodline to increase one's strength.
There were many bloodline evolution families in the main world, but their exploration of bloodlines wasn't as thorough as in this world.
"We still have a lot of time left for our stay."
Lin Yuan's thoughts turned inward as he looked down at the landscape below.
Dragon Mountain Ridge. They had arrived.
Outside the Grand Hall of Dragon Mountain.
The numerous members of the Dragon Mountain Clan still patiently waited, sensing that their great clan head, Dragon Mountain Yuan, had not perished and was still alive and well.
Just then, a figure silently appeared before the grand hall.
"Clan Head."
"Clan Head, you're back?"
Long Shan Ling and several of his trusted subordinates were the first to react, greeting him respectfully.
"Mhm."
Lin Yuan glanced at the excited Dragon Mountain Clan members.
"Clan Head, about what happened in the sky..." Long Shan Ling gathered his courage and cautiously asked.
"It was me." Lin Yuan answered directly. There was no longer any need for secrecy; he was now invincible. "It's true." Upon hearing Lin Yuan's confirmation, Long Shan Ling and the others from the Dragon Mountain Clan were left in a daze.
Even though they had already suspected as much, the confirmation still left them bewildered.
Their Clan Head was so powerful?
"There's one more thing." Lin Yuan's thoughts stirred, and a figure was shifted out of existence.
It was the Pope of the Order Church.
To be precise, it was the deity self of the Pope, located in the Ocean of Light.
During Lin Yuan's slaughter of the gods, this subordinate deity was the only one to survive.
The reason for his survival was due to the amicable relationship he had fostered with Lin Yuan over the years.
Additionally, this Order Pope only possessed the power of a lower deity, and with the death of the Order Overgod, his power as a subordinate deity plummeted, barely reaching the threshold of a true god.
As a subordinate deity, his power was fixed and would never increase further.
In fact, if not for Lin Yuan's intention to spare him, the Order Pope would have been consumed by backlash the moment the Order Overgod perished.
"Dragon Mountain Clan Head." The Order Pope looked at Lin Yuan with a complicated gaze.
He had witnessed Lin Yuan's slaughter of the gods in the Ocean of Light, and at this moment, he surprisingly felt no fear.
There was no point in being afraid anymore, for if Lin Yuan wanted him dead, the Order Pope knew he had no chance of survival.
"Now you may leave." Lin Yuan had no intention of killing the Order Pope.
A mere subordinate deity's divinity held no appeal to Lin Yuan, and he posed no threat to the Dragon Mountain Clan in the future.
"Thank you, Dragon Mountain Clan Head, for your mercy." The Order Pope took a deep breath, feeling a strange sense of emotion.
Under the Twilight of the Gods, all deities had perished, even the so-called strongest Overgods. Yet, he, the weakest subordinate deity, had survived?
The strongest had fallen, but the weakest lived on.
The Order Pope's thoughts were tangled.
"Dragon Mountain Clan Head." The Order Pope whispered to himself, knowing that his survival was solely due to the compassion of the Dragon Mountain Clan Head.
"From now on, it will be the era of the Dragon Mountain Clan Head." As the Order Pope left Dragon Mountain Ridge, a sudden realization struck him.
Ever since the Light Overgod opened the Ocean of Light, the era of the gods had officially begun.
Even the mighty Light and Dark Overgods did not dare attach their names to the prefix of the era.
But from now on, the name of the Dragon Mountain Clan Head would tower over the ages. Even after countless years, future beings and gods would tremble at the mere mention of the Dragon Mountain Clan Head's name.
Outside the Grand Hall of Dragon Mountain.
Lin Yuan turned to Long Shan Ling and the others.
"Next, I will be leaving the mortal realm." Lin Yuan announced.
"Leaving the mortal realm?" Long Shan Ling and the important members of the Dragon Mountain Clan exchanged glances, feeling an indescribable pressure emanating from Lin Yuan's very being.
"Clan Head, where do you plan to go? The Ocean of Light or the Dark Abyss?" Long Shan Ling asked in a low voice.
"I will be going to the Martial World." Lin Yuan smiled faintly.
"Martial World?" The Dragon Mountain Clan members were confused, as this was the first time they had heard of such a place.
"Where is the Martial World?" Long Shan Ling inquired cautiously.
Lin Yuan raised his right hand and tore through the fabric of reality, revealing a complete layer of space.
Stepping through, Lin Yuan began to calm the turbulent energies within, as the members of the Dragon Mountain Clan watched in awe.
Where Lin Yuan stood, everything stabilized. The energies became gentle, the space calm, and a vast expanse of land and sky appeared.
Rumble...
A world far surpassing the Ocean of Light and the Dark Abyss was unveiled, its influence so great that reflections began to appear in the mortal realm.
"Who... Who is that?"
"Someone is creating a new world, just like how the Light Overgod and Dark Overgod created the Ocean of Light and the Dark Abyss."
"This person must be the one who ended the era of the gods. He's probably making this world his dwelling."
The ancient demi-gods of the mortal realm, still reeling from the fall of the gods, witnessed this breathtaking scene.
It took Lin Yuan over four hours to finally stabilize this layer of space. He nodded in satisfaction, "The foundation is mostly laid out. This will do for now."
Within the world he had created, Lin Yuan finally felt at ease. The layers of space affected him, and he savored the sense of freedom he hadn't felt in a long time.
"I should also inform the mortals." Lin Yuan glanced at the vast mortal realm and manifested a towering figure that reached the heavens, "From this day forth, the Martial World has been established. Any martial artist who cultivates the path of immortality and achieves godhood may enter the Martial World."
After announcing to the mortal realm, Lin Yuan paid no heed to the commotion he had caused and returned to the Martial World, sitting at its very center.
"Finally, I can quietly cultivate and seek enlightenment."
Lin Yuan took out the numerous divinities he had acquired.
"Twenty-four Overgod divinities, three thousand six hundred and thirteen Upper God divinities, twenty-nine thousand six hundred and forty-two Mid God divinities, and one hundred and twenty-three thousand two hundred and forty-two Lower God divinities."
Lin Yuan was delighted. Just looking at this collection of divinities filled him with insight, and he couldn't wait to begin his comprehension.
"I wonder how much these divinities will increase my strength." Lin Yuan wondered to himself. With the divinities of the demi-gods from the mortal realm, he had already reached one hundred and twenty million layers of space.
What about the true god divinities?
And the Overgod divinities?
"Time to begin my comprehension." Lin Yuan picked up a divinity, one that held the attribute of space and was the 'key' to the higher dimensions of this world.
And so, time swiftly passed.
In the blink of an eye, six hundred years had gone by.
I'll be back tomorrow.
The sweeping of the Xuanhuang Secret Realm plot will begin.
