Chapter 386: Two Hundred Years Later
Chapter 386: Two Hundred Years Later (Seeking Subscription)
For a powerful being like Lin Yuan, who possesses the Gate of Myriad Worlds, the only true treasure within the two-dimensional world is its curiosities.
Of course, the most precious thing would undoubtedly be the two-dimensional world itself—the 'blank canvas'.
However, not even the most formidable of beings could refine that 'blank canvas'.
The powerful beings trapped within, naturally, wouldn't have any ideas about it.
As for the curiosity possessed by the ancient nation of Blood Rain, according to Lin Yuan's knowledge, it was a Blood Rain Tea Tree.
However, this Blood Rain Tea Tree had long been taken away by the previous few powerful beings who had crossed into the Witch Ancestor Realm, nearly a hundred years ago.
The mystery of the Blood Rain Tea Tree was not a secret among the upper echelons of the Blood Rain Ancient Nation.
Once they realized the value of curiosities within the two-dimensional world, the Blood Rain Tea Tree would undoubtedly have attracted their attention, and they would have kept a close eye on it.
There was no way the Blood Rain Ancient Nation could have kept it safe.
"Could it be that the Blood Rain Ancient Nation has other curiosities hidden away?" Lin Yuan's interest was piqued.
It was only natural for Lin Yuan to make such an association, given the royal family's promise of offering a treasure.
"Oh well.
"Might as well take a look."
Lin Yuan made up his mind; since it concerned a curiosity, it was only right that he took a look.
"Yes," Charan Gu immediately replied.
"I will notify them now that the master has agreed to a meeting."
Charan Gu respectfully withdrew.
Without Lin Yuan's permission, not even the royalty of the Blood Rain Ancient Nation dared to enter the scope of the Luochuan Gathering Place.
Over the years, Lin Yuan had rarely taken action, but even the little that he had done was enough to deter the Blood Rain Ancient Nation.
It would take some time for Charan Gu to notify the royalty of the Blood Rain Ancient Nation before they could pay their respects.
Lin Yuan continued to take out the silver mirror and poured his spiritual power into it.
Buzz...
As Lin Yuan consumed a large amount of spiritual power, the silver mirror in front of him gradually revealed its extraordinariness.
Thin strands of faint silver light began to emerge.
At the same time.
Lin Yuan actually sensed a very familiar fluctuation.
A spatial fluctuation.
It was purely a spatial fluctuation, without any involvement of spatial rules.
"This is interesting."
Upon seeing this, Lin Yuan continued to infuse his spiritual will.
Only a Witch Ancestor Nineteenth Realm expert like him could have such abundant spiritual power.
If it were a Fifteenth or Sixteenth Realm expert, they wouldn't even be able to meet the prerequisite of activating this silver mirror.
Time passed.
In the blink of an eye, half a day had gone by.
Lin Yuan's brows furrowed slightly.
Even Lin Yuan found it a bit taxing to continuously maintain this infusion of spiritual will.
If this were to continue, it would likely affect his strength.
Just as Lin Yuan was pondering whether or not to continue,
Shimmer!
The silver mirror seemed to undergo some qualitative change.
It actually slowly floated up.
The mirror surface rippled like quicksilver, creating gentle waves.
"What?"
Lin Yuan looked at the floating silver mirror in front of him, his face filled with shock.
Lin Yuan wasn't surprised that the mirror was floating.
With his current strength, he could also briefly levitate by unleashing his full power.
It was simply a matter of boiling his qi and blood, releasing a strong life magnetic field, and thereby counteracting the Earth's gravity.
What truly shocked Lin Yuan was that he actually sensed that within the mirror surface, there was an independent space?
The space wasn't big, only about ten square meters.
But it was important to know that within the two-dimensional world, there was no concept of spatial depth; everything was two-dimensional, everything was flat.
And yet, the space within the mirror surface was akin to creating a three-dimensional space within a two-dimensional plane—what an inconceivable ability!
"The direct observable size of the world within my body reaches a staggering 2.331 billion li in area, and the number of spatial layers exceeds three billion layers. Even so, when I fell into this two-dimensional world, my internal world was instantly compressed into a 'sheet of paper', ceasing to exist," Lin Yuan marveled inwardly.
And now, within this silver mirror, there was actually an independent space maintained.
If this independent space were to be brought back to the main universe and fully unfolded, how vast would it be?
"Having the space within the mirror is indeed very convenient." Lin Yuan repeatedly caressed the silver mirror, thinking to himself.
Although the space within the mirror wasn't large, it was more than enough to store Lin Yuan's daily necessities, especially that pitch-black iron rod, which was too conspicuous when carried on his back.
Now he could keep the iron rod inside.
When he wanted to use it, he could instantly take it out.
Moreover, the silver mirror had a crucial life-saving ability for Lin Yuan.
If he ever encountered an attack that he couldn't withstand, he could simply hide inside the silver mirror.
As for the exposed part of the silver mirror, it was a curiosity, one of the Twelve Star Wonders, and in this two-dimensional world, it was akin to an indestructible existence.
Even if a formidable being fell into this world and was suppressed by the two-dimensional environment, unable to exert their full strength, they still wouldn't be able to shake the silver mirror.
"Excellent, excellent."
Lin Yuan was delighted. With this silver mirror, his options had once again increased significantly.
"First, I'll put the iron rod inside." Lin Yuan's thoughts stirred, and the nearly two-meter-long pitch-black iron rod disappeared from its original spot, entering the space within the silver mirror.
He then also placed the bronze compass inside. This curious compass was of great use to Lin Yuan, and he usually had to keep it on his body and pay constant attention to it.
But now that he could store it within the silver mirror's space, he felt much more at ease.
It didn't take long for Lin Yuan to figure out the capabilities of the silver mirror.
"Your Excellency." The Blood Rain Emperor and the princes and ministers behind him were very respectful as they looked at the young man sitting cross-legged in front of them. The subtle sense of oppression emanating from his very being put immense pressure on them, causing them to break out in cold sweats.
"So this is the mysterious powerful being that has been hiding in my Blood Rain Ancient Nation?" The Blood Rain Emperor swallowed.
The battle that took place in the desolate northwestern region of the Blood Rain Ancient Nation some time ago had not only spread among the powerful beings of the Myriad Races, but had also reached the ears of the native forces, including the Blood Rain Ancient Nation.
Based on various clues, the royalty of the Blood Rain Ancient Nation had guessed that the mysterious powerful being was none other than the young man before them.
Over the past hundred years, the Twelve Ancient Nations had produced one peerless powerhouse after another, causing the ruling royal families to be constantly on edge.
If it weren't absolutely necessary, the Blood Rain Emperor would never have dared to approach Lin Yuan, as the pressure he felt was simply too overwhelming.
"You may rise."
Lin Yuan glanced at the respectful group below, his gaze lingering momentarily on one of them.
This person was the Northern Prince of the Blood Rain Ancient Nation, and Lin Yuan obtaining the Bronze Compass could be considered somewhat related to him.
If it weren't for the Northern Prince pursuing the Cloud Mountain Eighteen Bandits, the latter wouldn't have fled to the outskirts of the Luochuan Gathering Place.
Even if Lin Yuan had gone after the bounty, he wouldn't have strayed too far from the Luochuan Gathering Place, and he likely would have missed out on the Bronze Compass.
"Even in this two-dimensional world, cause and effect exist, although they are almost imperceptible." Lin Yuan mused inwardly.
With Xia Yu's evolution into a high tower, Lin Yuan had created an avatar to comprehend the extreme light from beyond the universe, and his understanding of the rules of cause and effect had soared.
Now, meeting the Northern Prince in such a way could be considered a manifestation of cause and effect.
"Your Excellency, these are the treasures we offer." The Blood Rain Emperor presented two wooden boxes.
One box was large, about half a meter long, while the other was small, only about ten centimeters in size.
Charan Gu quickly stepped forward, took the two boxes, and respectfully placed them in front of Lin Yuan.
Lin Yuan opened the boxes with great interest.
Inside the larger box was an axe, exquisitely carved from jade and small enough to be held in one hand. A faintly sharp aura circulated along the blade of the axe.
Inside the smaller box was a piece of wood; without even touching it, Lin Yuan could sense an immense vitality emanating from it.
"These two treasures..."
Lin Yuan's expression remained unchanged, but his heart stirred with excitement.
The small and delicate jade axe was likely an extremely powerful weapon, similar to the pitch-black iron rod.
As for the piece of wood, he guessed that it was some kind of Twelve Star Wonder material. Even in the main universe, it would probably spark a scramble among the most powerful beings.
"Blood Rain Ancient Nation."
Lin Yuan glanced at the Blood Rain Emperor and his entourage below.
Over the past hundred years, the Blood Rain Ancient Nation had undoubtedly been plundered by numerous powerful beings from the Myriad Races, yet they had still managed to retain these two treasures, which spoke to their capabilities.
"Speak."
"What do you want from me?" Lin Yuan asked calmly.
The Blood Rain Emperor and his entourage had traveled a great distance specifically to pay their respects to him and offer these precious wonders; they must have had a request.
"I don't know if the battle in the northwestern region of our nation some time ago had anything to do with Your Excellency?" The Blood Rain Emperor asked cautiously.
"It was me." Lin Yuan replied directly.
With his current strength, there was no need for secrecy. He could simply acknowledge it outright.
"Your Excellency's strength is truly awe-inspiring." The Blood Rain Emperor exclaimed sincerely.
The aftermath of the great pursuit in the northwestern region had shattered the Blood Rain Ancient Nation royalty's understanding of power many times over.
"Just get to the point." Lin Yuan said flatly.
"Yes."
The Blood Rain Emperor took a moment to gather himself. "I hope that Your Excellency will protect our Blood Rain Ancient Nation."
"Protect?" Lin Yuan's gaze sharpened as he looked at the Blood Rain Emperor.
He had expected such a request. For the indigenous ancient nations of this two-dimensional world, the arrival of countless powerful beings from the Myriad Races would undoubtedly fill them with fear and a sense of powerlessness.
"Alright."
"From now on, you can announce to the outside world that you have my protection." Lin Yuan said.
"That's it?" The Blood Rain Emperor was taken aback.
"With this announcement, other powerful beings won't dare to act too recklessly." Lin Yuan said softly.
Information traveled fast among the powerful beings of the Myriad Races. Once they learned that the mysterious powerhouse ranked sixth on the leaderboard was protecting the Blood Rain Ancient Nation, they would think twice before taking any action, no matter how bold they were.
"Yes."
The Blood Rain Emperor was puzzled, but he dared not voice any objections.
A month later.
The Blood Rain Emperor returned to the nation's capital and made the announcement.
As expected, the Blood Rain Empire became much calmer, and the unruly powerful beings from the Myriad Races behaved with more restraint.
The powerful beings of the Myriad Races unanimously believed that Lin Yuan was definitely a legendary life form at the perfect eleventh-stage from the main universe.
Who would dare to cause trouble under the protection of such a being?
Time flew by, and Lin Yuan continued to immerse himself in cultivation. In the blink of an eye, nearly two hundred years had passed.
Only two months remained until the Heaven's Gate opened, an event that occurred only once every ten thousand years.
