Chapter 388: Numerous Marvels
Chapter 388: Numerous Marvels (End of Chapter)
Over the past two centuries, Lin Yuan had visited Tian Shan Mountain several times. Yet, each time he beheld it, he still felt a sense of awe.
Tian Shan Mountain rose to a height of eighty to ninety thousand meters, a mere speck compared to the vast stars and galaxies in the cosmic universe. However, Lin Yuan could faintly sense a mysterious aura emanating from the entire mountain.
This aura reminded him of a similar sensation he had experienced when he was on the ancestral planet of human civilization.
No, to be precise, the aura emanating from Tian Shan was even more vast and profound than what he had felt on the ancestral planet.
"I wonder what it would be like when the Heavenly Gate appears here at Tian Shan," Lin Yuan thought to himself.
While he had come across descriptions of the Heavenly Gate in ancient texts and manuals, the indigenous beings of the two-dimensional world could hardly fathom its true nature. Their understanding of the Heavenly Gate was but a fraction of its true majesty.
Just like this majestic mountain before them, which the natives considered only slightly taller than average, its fame was mostly due to the Heavenly Gate. But to Lin Yuan, it was shrouded in mystery.
Sometimes, the higher one's standing was, the deeper their understanding, and the more they could perceive.
"This must be the core region of the two-dimensional world," Lin Yuan speculated.
By "core region," he didn't mean the physical center, but rather the place that came closest to the depths of the two-dimensional world.
Just as Lin Yuan paused to admire the mountain in the distance, a group of powerful beings rushed towards him.
These beings exuded formidable auras, unabashedly displaying their strength. However, upon catching sight of Lin Yuan, their expressions changed slightly.
"Is that the mysterious powerful being from the Ancient Blood Rain Country?"
"It should be him. The aura is similar, and he's carrying that pitch-black iron rod."
"I heard that two hundred years ago, this mysterious being killed Pei Shen in just two breaths. It took half a day for Tuoba Ancient God to fall, despite possessing that defensive marvel."
Six or seven powerful beings from the Ten Thousand Races bowed slightly towards Lin Yuan from a distance, showing their respect.
Lin Yuan had not concealed his appearance during this visit, as he had revealed his aura when he took action against Tuoba Ancient God and his group of special beings.
In this two-dimensional world, the aura of every being was unique and couldn't be altered. Therefore, Lin Yuan saw no need to hide his appearance, as he would be recognized anyway.
As for the pitch-black iron rod on his back, since he couldn't conceal his identity, there was little point in hiding the rod within the independent space contained in the silver mirror.
His enemies would surely anticipate such a move, which might expose the secret of the silver mirror.
Instead, Lin Yuan kept other trump cards within the mirror's space, such as the jade axe. This marvel was incredibly sharp and had a completely different style from the iron rod.
When used at the right moment, it could turn the tide of battle.
In the distance, the six or seven powerful beings from the Ten Thousand Races continued to observe Lin Yuan surreptitiously.
"This mysterious being from the Ancient Blood Rain Country hasn't made a move in the past two hundred years, yet he still ranks among the top nine. Although he's only ninth, his true strength is unfathomable."
"It's terrifying that he can still rank ninth after being inactive for two hundred years."
"I wonder what his strength is like now."
These beings from the Ten Thousand Races whispered among themselves. They had come to witness the opening of the Heavenly Gate, with no intention of entering it themselves. The possibility of that happening was almost zero.
"I should go and meet up with the human civilization evolvers," Lin Yuan glanced at the distant group without much concern.
Before his last seclusion, Xia Qinzhi, one of the Nine Paramount Beings, had instructed him to rendezvous with the human civilization evolvers after arriving at Tian Shan.
The purpose of this arrangement was to have all human civilization evolvers assist Lin Yuan in his endeavor to enter the Heavenly Gate.
Although there were currently no Nine Paramount Beings among the human civilization evolvers, the collective effort of many eleventh-stage evolvers could still make a difference.
More importantly, with these human civilization evolvers by his side, Lin Yuan would feel less pressure.
As the pinnacle race, human civilization relied not only on the presence of the Nine Paramount Beings but also on their unity.
Even those unique and solitary beings had been compelled to form the Starry Sky Grand Alliance to counter the might of the human civilization and other peak races.
Additionally, if he managed to enter the Heavenly Gate, Lin Yuan would need to obtain certain marvels from human civilization to take with him.
He would have further interactions with the human civilization evolvers in that case.
"I have the silver mirror, which can easily accommodate even larger marvels within its independent space," Lin Yuan thought.
Other powerful beings, including the Four God Kings, didn't possess such an artifact. At most, they could only bring out normal-sized marvels.
For abnormally-sized marvels, such as those several meters in size, it would be inconvenient.
Without knowing if they would need to enter the Heavenly Gate immediately after its opening, they couldn't very well carry around a marvel that large. It would only hinder their combat abilities.
Near Tian Shan, Yan Fu, who had just entered the Wu Zu realm, initially harbored ambitious aspirations. He had planned to showcase his strength at Tian Shan to intimidate the Twelve Ancient Countries.
However, even before reaching the mountain, his heart began to tremble uncontrollably.
"I thought Wu Zu-level beings could enter the Heavenly Gate with ease, and that only Wu Di-level beings would compete during its openings?" Yan Fu struggled to understand. On his journey here, he had cautiously sensed dozens of auras, and without exception, they had all belonged to Wu Zu-level beings.
"How can there be so many Witch Ancestors?" Yan Fu couldn't comprehend. He had traversed the path from Witch to Witch King, then to Witch Emperor and Witch Ancestor. He knew all too well the difficulties of achieving such a feat.
"Should I still go to Tian Shan now?"
Yan Fu gazed toward the distant silhouette of Tian Shan Mountain, hesitating for a moment.
Having sensed dozens of powerful Witch Ancestor auras earlier, he felt a sense of dread toward the mountain.
He hadn't even reached Tian Shan yet, and there were already so many formidable beings. As he drew closer to the mountain, he might even be in danger.
"Go."
"I've cultivated for six hundred years just to witness the Heavenly Gate. No matter how many strong beings there are, they can't stop me from going to Tian Shan."
Yan Fu, an exceptional existence among the indigenous life forms, soon adjusted his mindset and continued toward Tian Shan, keeping a low profile this time. He even dared not leak a hint of his aura, and he would stop and scrutinize his surroundings at regular intervals before proceeding.
At the foot of Tian Shan Mountain, within a manor.
This place served as a stronghold for human civilization, as Tian Shan was where the Heavenly Gate appeared. More than two to three hundred years ago, the evolvers of human civilization had rushed here and established this outpost.
This was the advantage of having a powerful backing—one didn't need to worry about trivial matters, as there were already people in place to handle them.
At this moment, in the depths of the manor.
Over twenty figures gathered.
These figures were all eleventh-stage evolvers of human civilization, waiting for something.
"The Paramount Being asked us to wait here and said that an important figure from our human civilization would arrive soon."
"Who exactly is this important figure that the Paramount Being specifically instructed us about?"
The group of eleventh-stage evolvers were puzzled. Having cultivated to the eleventh stage, they were already considered the top echelon of human civilization, and they were familiar with the strong beings within their race. Yet, they had no knowledge of the 'important figure' mentioned by the Paramount Being.
"According to the Paramount Being's instructions, we are to assist this important figure to the best of our abilities, even if it means sacrificing this clone."
A tall and sturdy female evolver spoke, her tone slightly doubtful. She was asking them, the eleventh-stage evolvers, to sacrifice their clones to assist this important figure. Just who was this person?
"Could it be that this important figure has the qualifications to compete for a spot in the Heavenly Gate?"
One of the eleventh-stage evolvers speculated.
"That must be it."
"Yes, otherwise, the Paramount Being wouldn't have been so solemn."
"To think that our human civilization has such an exceptional figure in this two-dimensional world."
The group of eleventh-stage evolvers chatted amongst themselves, their curiosity piqued by the Paramount Being's mention of this important figure.
Among the twenty-plus eleventh-stage evolvers, Nalan, the vice tower master, sat quietly in a corner, listening.
Although he, too, was an eleventh-stage evolver, he had only recently entered this stage and thus held a lower status compared to the more seasoned eleventh-stage evolvers in the room.
"I wonder where Galaxy Master is now?" Nalan's thoughts wandered to other matters.
In his opinion, Galaxy Master possessed heaven-defying talent and aptitude, but compared to those legendary eleventh-stage perfect beings, there was still a considerable gap. This Heavenly Gate opening would likely be just a sightseeing trip for him.
Suddenly.
At that moment.
A figure appeared outside the manor.
The group of eleventh-stage evolvers immediately sensed the intrusion.
"Is someone out there?"
"Is that the 'important figure' the Paramount Being mentioned?"
The twenty-plus eleventh-stage evolvers rose to their feet and went outside the manor to greet the newcomer personally.
When they saw the person's appearance and sensed his aura, they were astonished.
"The mysterious strong being from Blood Rain Ancient Country?"
"Over two hundred years ago, this mysterious being took action and instantly killed Tuoba Ancient God and Pei Shen, two fifth-rank eleventh-stage special beings."
"My goodness, this mysterious being from Blood Rain Ancient Country is from our human civilization?"
The tall and sturdy female evolver, Xuan Yuan Duo, stepped forward and communicated with Lin Yuan to confirm his identity. After that, the rest of the eleventh-stage evolvers became excited.
"May I ask how we should address you?"
Xuan Yuan Duo's tone was slightly respectful. She was one of the strongest evolvers in the two-dimensional world, having once been among the Nine Paramount Beings in the early days of her arrival.
However, she was soon surpassed by others.
"Just call me Blood Rain." Lin Yuan replied casually.
In the two-dimensional world, every strong being was suppressed, causing their auras to change drastically from what they were in the outside world. On top of that, their appearances, physiques, and combat styles had also transformed. Unless they revealed their identities themselves, it was challenging for others to guess who they were.
"Blood Rain, sir."
Xuan Yuan Duo invited Lin Yuan into the manor and then opened a large box, revealing numerous marvels within.
"Then, I'll leave these marvels to you, Blood Rain, sir."
Xuan Yuan Duo spoke in a low voice. The box contained over ten marvels, the collective efforts of the human civilization's evolvers over the past three hundred years.
According to the Paramount Being's instructions, all of these marvels were to be handed over to Lin Yuan for safekeeping.
"These marvels..." Lin Yuan's gaze swept over the various objects, and his expression suddenly revealed surprise.
