Chapter 399: Setting Sail Once More (End of Volume, Thanks to Book Friend 'Zhiren_Lonshi' for the Alliance Reward)
"What a monster," the three-foot-tall elder exclaimed inwardly. Even when Lin Yuan was in the two-dimensional world, he could tell that his understanding of the rules of space-time fusion was lacking.
He was still incredibly far from comprehending the rules of space-time fusion.
By offering Lin Yuan his insights into the rules of space-time fusion, the elder expected him to have a breakthrough and, at best, take a significant step towards comprehending those rules.
But who would have thought that he would directly comprehend the rules of space-time fusion?
"As long as he can overcome the twelfth-level of life, perhaps there's a chance he'll grow to a height nearing a perfect temporal life in the future?" the three-foot-tall elder thought silently.
A near-perfect temporal life was the highest evaluation he could think of. As for a true perfect temporal life? They could effortlessly traverse countless timelines, reversing the past and altering the future if they so wished.
Perfect temporal lives were beings beyond dimensions, incomprehensible through the understanding of normal lives.
Galaxy Master Star.
After comprehending the rules of space-time fusion, Lin Yuan's consciousness immediately descended into his inner world.
Rumble!
Along with the complete fusion of time and space, his inner world began to undergo a metamorphosis. In terms of visual size, the inner world didn't increase, but in terms of the number of spatial layers, it instantly reached a thousand billion.
Moreover, every aspect of the inner world was significantly enhanced in an intangible way.
"If I infuse my inner world with the origin of chaotic void once more, the amount of origin it can withstand will be more than ten thousand times what it was when I broke through from the ninth tier to the tenth," Lin Yuan knew.
He was well aware that comprehending the rules of space-time fusion had greatly enhanced him. Even among eleventh-tier lives, this would be a qualitative change, entering the fourth level of the eleventh tier.
"That cluster of crystalline light," Lin Yuan's heart and soul trembled.
Within the cluster of crystalline light were the insights into the rules of space-time fusion of all the Myriad Race powerhouses who had fallen into the two-dimensional world.
This naturally included the insights of the Four Divine Kings and the skinny old man, legendary eleventh-tier perfect lives, into the rules of space-time fusion.
And these legendary lives had all reached the Fifth Level of Insight in the rules of space-time fusion.
In other words, the lower limit of that cluster of crystalline light would bring Lin Yuan's understanding of the rules of space-time fusion to the Fifth Level of Insight.
As for the upper limit?
With over one hundred million Myriad Race powerhouses' different 'aspects' of understanding of the rules of space-time fusion, the quantitative change could very well lead to a qualitative change, allowing Lin Yuan to take a giant leap into the Sixth Level of Insight in the domain of space-time fusion rules.
It was common knowledge that the fusion rules were divided into nine levels of insight.
The seventh level of ordinary fusion rules was the limit of what an eleventh-tier life could achieve.
And the seventh level of pillar-grade fusion rules was the domain of the ultimate beings.
As for the seventh level of insight into the most top-tier fusion rules of space-time fusion, forget about the seventh level—even the sixth level was something that only an ultimate being could comprehend.
If Lin Yuan cultivated the rules of space-time fusion to the sixth level, it would be equivalent to rivaling an ultimate being in a certain aspect.
"The sixth level of insight into the rules of space-time fusion is still too far away," Lin Yuan calmed himself. Taking a giant leap into the sixth level of insight was merely a theoretical possibility.
While it was true that quantitative changes could lead to qualitative changes, if the insights of a hundred million Myriad Race powerhouses into the rules of space-time fusion could achieve the sixth level, then the domain of the ultimate beings would be far too commonplace.
Furthermore, among these hundred million Myriad Race powerhouses, the vast majority were eighth and ninth-tier, with a very one-sided understanding of the domain of space-time fusion rules.
Inside the blank sheet.
After comprehending the rules of space-time fusion, Lin Yuan gathered his thoughts and bowed slightly to the three-foot-tall elder, "Thank you, Senior."
Although Lin Yuan had gained the Myriad Race powerhouses' insights into the rules of space-time fusion entirely based on the rules of the lower-dimensional space,
It wouldn't hurt to be polite.
"You're welcome. You deserved all of this," the three-foot-tall elder said, gazing deeply at Lin Yuan. Other powerhouses might have taken hundreds or thousands of years to absorb a portion of these insights and eventually comprehend the rules of space-time fusion.
But Lin Yuan had accomplished this in just half a watch.
Anyone could see the difference.
"Now that the game is over, I have no use for the physical essence, insights into other rules, soul cores, and so on, of the deceased game participants. Do you want them?" the three-foot-tall elder asked after a moment of silence.
"Huh?"
"Can I have all of those?" Lin Yuan asked, looking at the elder in confusion.
Wasn't he only supposed to choose one? Why could he choose everything now?
"According to the rules, you can only choose one, but I have the right to dispose of the rest. They'll just be wasted here anyway," the three-foot-tall elder explained.
"In that case, I'll take them," Lin Yuan said without hesitation.
This wasn't a joke.
After witnessing the exaggerated effect of the cluster of crystalline light earlier, if Lin Yuan hesitated now, he would be a real fool.
This was equivalent to a huge opportunity falling from the sky.
"Then they're yours," the three-foot-tall elder said without hesitation. He waved his right hand, and four clusters of crystalline light appeared and flew towards Lin Yuan.
Compared to the previous cluster of crystalline light that represented insights into the rules of space-time fusion, these four clusters were much more 'muddy' and impure.
Even if they were extremely "muddy," they would still be far easier to comprehend than the fusion rules themselves, akin to a shortcut to the heavens.
"If possible, try to comprehend the Chaos Rules before you breakthrough to the twelfth tier." The three-foot-tall elder spoke after a moment of thought.
"Chaos Rules?" Lin Yuan asked, his eyes narrowing as he stored away the five clusters of crystalline light, looking towards the diminutive elder seated before the massive scroll.
This wasn't the first time Lin Yuan had heard about the Chaos Rules; Shen Ji from the Demon Jade Space, the Spirit of the Primordial Secret Realm, and even the Xia Qin ultimate lifeform had all mentioned them.
"Indeed. Of course, don't fixate too much on the Chaos Rules. After all, for lives below the twelfth tier, it's merely a legend," the three-foot-tall elder said.
Lin Yuan's display of comprehension talent, coupled with the rule insights of over a hundred million powerful beings, instilled a strange confidence in the elder.
"Alright," Lin Yuan agreed.
Comprehending the Chaos Rules would be immensely beneficial for his journey towards the ultimate realm, and he would certainly strive to understand them if possible.
"With this game concluded, it's time for me to take my leave as well," the three-foot-tall elder sighed.
He had controlled the 'blank sheet' to remain within this universe, and while it appeared that countless ultimate beings had intervened to stop him, there was more to it.
Absorbing a sufficient number of lives into the scroll and then starting the game was simply a convenient opportunity.
"Leaving?" Lin Yuan asked, his gaze fixed on the elder.
"Yes," the elder confirmed. "Do you want me to send you directly out, or to a hidden location first?"
With countless twelfth-tier lives watching the scroll, the elder naturally wanted to confirm Lin Yuan's intentions.
"Send me to a hidden location, please," Lin Yuan said without hesitation.
Leaving directly would be akin to exposing himself to all the ultimate existences.
If it had been earlier, before the deaths of the myriad race powerhouses in the two-dimensional world, it probably wouldn't have been a big deal. As long as the nine ultimate beings of the Human Civilization concealed his aura and prevented the leakage of a tenth-tier life's presence, it would have been fine.
But now?
Aside from Lin Yuan, all the other myriad race powerhouses in the two-dimensional world had perished, becoming nourishment for his growth. His comprehension of the spacetime fusion rules was made possible by the support of the Four Divine Kings and other unique lives.
Leaving now would undoubtedly trigger a war between twelfth-tier beings. It wasn't that the nine ultimate beings of the Human Civilization couldn't protect him, but the consequences would be dire.
"No problem," the three-foot-tall elder nodded.
He had the means to hide from the perception of twelfth-tier beings. When he had previously sent the indigenous lives from the two-dimensional world out, he had done so without alerting any ultimate existences.
Outside the scroll, countless ultimate beings surrounded it, ever since their kin had perished in the two-dimensional world. After Xia Qin's guidance about the nature of the 'blank sheet' being a 'living entity,' they had planned to use forceful means to deal with it.
Just then—
Buzz!
To the astonishment of all the ultimate beings, the mysterious 'scroll' that had been slowly unfurling began to tremble slightly.
With each tremor, it stirred up temporal and spatial ripples spanning millions, tens of millions, and even hundreds of millions of light-years.
"Not good!"
"This 'blank sheet' is trying to leave!"
The expressions of the ultimate beings changed drastically as they realized the 'blank sheet's' intention.
However, their efforts were in vain.
Even with the combined might of all the ultimate beings present, they couldn't stop the 'blank sheet.'
Rumble!
Vast temporal and spatial forces surged as the 'blank sheet' broke free from their suppression, speeding away at a terrifying velocity through the universe.
Soon enough, a massive rift appeared, and the 'blank sheet' effortlessly slipped through it, leaving the universe.
In the next moment, the ultimate beings arrived at the spot, only to find the 'blank sheet' already gone. Their faces darkened as they realized the gravity of the situation.
Ultimate beings received too many gifts from the universe, and once they entered the Chaotic Void, they would face backlash from the entire universe. None of them dared to pursue the 'blank sheet.'
"This is a huge loss," the ultimate being from the Starry Sky Alliance lamented inwardly. This incident had dealt a severe blow to their unique lives, and even the Four Divine Kings, who held the hope of attaining ultimacy, would now have a reduced chance of reaching that realm.
Additionally, the Starry Sky Alliance had also lost an ultimate weapon—the one the Four Divine Kings had brought into the two-dimensional world.
Galaxy Master Star.
Lin Yuan gazed at the spatial rift through which the 'blank sheet' had exited.
In just over a hundred years, the 'blank sheet' had entered and exited the universe, leaving an indelible impact on the myriad races of the starry sky.
Especially for Lin Yuan.
Compared to the losses suffered by the various peak races, Lin Yuan's gains were—
Unprecedented!
