Chapter 368: Fifty Years
Chapter 368: Fifty Years (Seeking Subscription)
The river of time flows endlessly, cascading from the distant past into an endless future. Within this vast stream, the lives of the ten-tiered beings are but tiny fish and shrimp, barely stronger than the 'quarks'. Only at the eleventh tier can they be considered substantial fish. And among those in the eleventh tier, there are extreme and unique beings whose forms in the river of time are akin to colossal beasts, covering nearly half the riverbed.
"Can I be considered a big fish now?" Lin Yuan mused as he examined himself. Although he was only a tenth-tier life form, his foundation was exceptionally robust. When reflected in the river of time, he was no less impressive than those in the eleventh tier.
"I wonder what my form in the river of time will be like when I reach the eleventh tier, or even its pinnacle?" Lin Yuan thought to himself.
The forms that all beings took on in the river of time were solely dependent on their life essences and were unaffected by external forces.
As Lin Yuan immersed himself in the dense fluctuations of temporal rules and examined his own being, Xia Qin, the ultimate existence, had retrieved all the evolvers from the resurrection list.
As these evolvers returned to the present time and space, their memories began to'synchronize', stopping only at the moment before their deaths.
The river of time was vast and infinite, and even a small tributary contained countless lives. Thus, to resurrect a particular strong individual, an ultimate existence had to lock onto their unique life imprint to use as a'signpost'.
Without a life imprint to serve as a marker, even an ultimate existence would be unable to locate the desired life form accurately within the boundless river of time.
While ultimate existences could transcend the river of time, they did not control it.
"Where am I?"
"Have I been resurrected?"
"I remember fighting alongside the War Clan and the Prison Clan with the code number A076, and then I suddenly died."
Countless evolvers who had been retrieved from the river of time were initially confused, but they soon regained their senses.
In the human civilization, it was no secret that the ultimate existences possessed resurrection capabilities, especially among the resurrected evolvers, most of whom were aware that they might be candidates for resurrection by the ultimate existences.
After completing the resurrection task, Xia Qin glanced at the multitude of resurrected evolvers and then vanished.
Soon after, some evolvers from the Xia Yu Evolution Tower stepped forward to guide those who had just been resurrected.
A large proportion of these evolvers had perished tens of thousands of years ago, and they found the current era unfamiliar and needed time to adjust.
"I... I've been resurrected too?"
Among the resurrected evolvers, there were different groups based on their power levels. The sixth-tier evolvers formed one group, the seventh-tier another, the eighth-tier another, and so on, up to the ninth-tier.
As for Fang Qing, who had just entered the sixth tier, he naturally found himself among the other sixth-tier evolvers.
"I'm an evolver of the Ancient God evolution path. Theoretically, I shouldn't be eligible for resurrection," Fang Qing wondered.
Many of the other sixth-tier evolvers around him were familiar, and they were all genius evolvers who had once dominated a stellar domain.
As for himself, although he had reached the sixth tier in just a few hundred years, he had taken the Ancient God evolution path, which was akin to a shortcut.
Compared to other standard evolution paths, the Ancient God evolution path had no particular requirements for aptitude or comprehension. One merely needed to resemble the corresponding Ancient God to a sufficient degree.
Human civilization did not allocate too many resources to evolvers of the Ancient God evolution path and certainly did not offer them any resurrection slots.
Hence, Fang Qing was perplexed as to how he had ended up being resurrected.
Just then, a figure appeared beside him.
"Star Master." Fang Qing's eyes lit up, and he immediately straightened up, showing respect.
"Indeed."
"How does it feel to be resurrected?" Lin Yuan asked, turning to Fang Qing.
"I'm not sure. I just feel like I've been dreaming for a very long time," Fang Qing replied honestly.
"Star Master, the reason I was resurrected..." Fang Qing couldn't help but ask.
"I pleaded with the ultimate existence to add you to the resurrection list," Lin Yuan answered.
"But the resurrection list is supposed to be unalterable," Fang Qing thought, his heart pounding. As far as he knew, each life form on the resurrection list was carefully determined by the three goddesses. Only after their repeated assessments would they entrust the ultimate existence with the task of resurrection.
During this process, no one could change the decisions made by the three goddesses; it was a strict rule of human civilization.
Yet, Lin Yuan had somehow managed to add himself to the list?
Fang Qing had no idea that Lin Yuan had bypassed the three goddesses entirely and gone directly to Xia Qin, the ultimate existence overseeing the resurrection process.
As the ultimate existence in charge of resurrection, it was a simple matter for Xia Qin to add one more sixth-tier evolver to the list—a mere thought was all it took.
"Thank you, Star Master." Fang Qing took a deep breath.
Although he didn't know how Lin Yuan had managed to get him on the resurrection list, he knew that it must have come at a significant cost. His life now belonged to Lin Yuan.
"No need to thank me yet," Lin Yuan said, waving his hand. "Next, I'll help erase the traces of your original evolution path from your physical body." With that, Lin Yuan gestured, and Fang Qing's connection to the Ancient God evolution path was severed.
Although Fang Qing had been resurrected, his physical body still carried the marks of the Ancient God evolution path. As long as the Ancient God of the Tuoba clan wished, they could take away Fang Qing's mind and will at any time.
Lin Yuan merged the Rule of Death and the Rule of Destruction, giving birth to the Great Destruction Rule—a pure offensive rule, even more so than the Life and Death Rule. It was one of the few fundamental fusion rules that could surpass the Life and Death Rule in terms of lethality.
In the years since breaking through to the tenth tier, Lin Yuan had not only been contemplating the Life and Death Rule but also experimenting with the fusion of other fundamental rules. And now, the Great Destruction Rule was the fruit of his labor.
"One of the twelve grand doors on the Black Planet corresponds to the Great Destruction Rule."
With a spark of inspiration, Lin Yuan's Grand Yin Divine Soul immediately departed and descended upon the Black Planet.
"Great Destruction."
Standing before the grand door that symbolized the Great Destruction Rule, Lin Yuan channeled the essence of the rule and pushed open the door, stepping inside.
Soon, he arrived at an altar similar to the one associated with the Life and Death Rule.
"You again?"
A figure emerged from swirling black mist, taking the form of a black-robed man. He glanced at Lin Yuan and shook his head slightly.
"Senior," Lin Yuan greeted respectfully.
"Do you know when the trial will begin?" Lin Yuan cut straight to the chase, not wanting to waste any time.
"Trial?"
The black-robed man remained silent. He could sense that Lin Yuan had only recently comprehended the Great Destruction Rule. But after witnessing Lin Yuan's display with the Life and Death Rule, the black-robed man knew that the trials set by the Black Planet would be of little challenge to Lin Yuan.
"Forget it. You may as well go in now."
The black-robed man didn't want to waste time either. With a wave of his right hand, a black door, five meters in size, appeared.
Rather than having Lin Yuan unleash his power again and risk shaking the interior of the Black Planet, it was better to let him proceed with his insights as soon as possible. Out of sight, out of mind.
"Thank you, Senior," Lin Yuan said, not declining the offer.
He immediately created an incarnation and stepped through the black door.
It led to a space only a few miles in radius, but it was permeated with an endless supply of the essence of the Great Destruction Rule.
"Great Destruction."
Lin Yuan intently observed the fluctuations of the Great Destruction Rule, and with the boost from his heaven-defying comprehension, terrifying insights and epiphanies flooded his mind.
And so, Lin Yuan's two incarnations rapidly comprehended the Life and Death Rule and the Great Destruction Rule, while his true self, along with the Sun and Grand Yin Divine Souls, focused on cultivating other rules, secret arts, and more.
In the blink of an eye, fifty years passed.
