Chapter 424: Enlightenment in the Void (Happy June 1st, please subscribe!)
"What a gift."
Lin Yuan scanned the vast space within the giant stone, his expression turning solemn.
This gift prepared by the Secret Realm Creator was to congratulate the next tenth-stage existence under the boundless void.
It was naturally very precious, and even Lin Yuan was surprised.
In a sense, Lin Yuan was also a tenth-stage existence.
Receiving this gift was only right.
Lin Yuan carefully examined every detail of the space within the giant stone and finally nodded slightly. "A total of six hundred and seventy-eight."
Indeed.
The gift prepared by the Secret Realm Creator was none other than the void creatures.
And they were all perfect ninth-stage void creature kings, a total of six hundred and seventy-eight.
At this moment, they were sleeping quietly and neatly in the vast space within the giant stone.
Void creatures were not beings of the boundless void but came from beyond it, from the gaps between dimensions.
Hence, void creatures were also known as gap beings.
Killing void creatures could enhance one's spiritual will.
The stronger the void creature slain, the greater the enhancement to one's spiritual will.
Undoubtedly, the kings among the void creatures were the best for enhancing spiritual will.
Lin Yuan still remembered when he killed his first ninth-stage void creature king.
It had caused his spiritual will index to surge from twelve million points to nearly twenty million points.
A single void creature king had increased his spiritual will index by almost eight million points. What if he had only had a spiritual will index of one or two million points? Would killing that perfect ninth-stage void creature king have caused it to soar to over ten million points?
The higher one's spiritual will index, the more difficult it was to increase it.
This showed just how valuable a ninth-stage void creature king was.
Unfortunately, ninth-stage void creature kings were extremely rare.
In the hundreds of years that Lin Yuan's Solar Divine Soul had wandered the Void Secret Realm, he had only encountered one.
Now that Lin Yuan's Spatial Fusion Insight had reached the sixth level, he could see through the entire Void Secret Realm at a glance, and he had only discovered four void creature kings so far.
Two of them were only at the eighth stage, and the remaining two were at the ninth stage.
These four void creature kings were hidden in extremely secret locations within the Void Secret Realm, places that even the perfect evil god-lords might never find even after countless millennia or eons.
But now—
A total of six hundred and seventy-eight void creature kings rested quietly within the space of the giant stone.
Moreover, each of these six hundred and seventy-eight void creature kings was at the ninth stage and perfect; any one of them would far surpass the single void creature king Lin Yuan had defeated in terms of enhancing his spiritual will.
"How generous."
Lin Yuan couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
This many void creature kings... It was likely that since the creation of the Void Secret Realm, the total number of void creature kings in the current world had never been this high.
Even the Child of the Void, the ruler of the Void Secret Realm, had probably never seen so many void creature kings.
Otherwise, they wouldn't have been offered as a gift to the next tenth-stage existence.
At the very least, in the eyes of the Secret Realm Creator, this many void creature kings would have a significant effect on a tenth-stage existence.
"That makes sense."
Lin Yuan thought for a moment, his expression pensive.
When the Secret Realm Creator had first created the Void Secret Realm and 'netted' the numerous gap beings from beyond the boundless void, he must have kept the highest-quality batch of gap beings for himself.
This was how the hundreds of perfect ninth-stage void creatures within the giant stone had come to be.
"With my current strength, I can also briefly break free from the boundless void and venture into the gaps between different dimensions to capture those gap beings."
Lin Yuan stroked his chin, a thought occurring to him.
After reaching the sixth level of Spatial Fusion Insight, he had felt that he could break free from the constraints of the boundless void and follow the Void Secret Realm to the dimensional gap regions.
"Never mind."
"It's too time-consuming."
Lin Yuan quickly abandoned the idea.
The Secret Realm Creator had spent an unimaginable amount of time to capture so many void creatures—billions or even trillions of years. On average, it had taken thousands of millennia to capture a single void creature king.
While Lin Yuan's strength was indeed slightly superior to that of the Secret Realm Creator, it wasn't by a huge margin. Spending thousands of millennia to capture a single void creature king? In that time, Lin Yuan didn't know how much he would have grown.
The Secret Realm Creator had done so because he had reached his limit.
But Lin Yuan had no such need.
In that amount of time, even if he did nothing but let his spiritual will grow slowly, it would still be much faster than capturing void creature kings.
"I wonder how much these hundreds of perfect ninth-stage void creature kings can increase my spiritual will index by."
Lin Yuan looked at the numerous void creature kings within the giant stone, anticipation on his face.
According to Lin Yuan's original plan, his spiritual will index would have peaked at around twenty-five million points in this boundless void.
This was because the number of void creatures was limited, and there simply weren't enough for Lin Yuan to kill.
Especially after surpassing twenty million points, only by killing the kings among the void creatures would there be any noticeable effect.
But now, looking at the numerous void creature kings within the giant stone, Lin Yuan couldn't help but wonder what his spiritual will index would eventually peak at.
He felt no mercy for these creatures, as they did not belong to the same species as him; it was like how ordinary people would slaughter chickens and pigs.
In the boundless void...
Nearly a hundred perfect evil god-lords gathered, discussing the birth of the second tenth-stage existence in the boundless void.
"The existence that has stepped into the tenth stage is named Wu Zu?"
"Wu Zu wants us to give up half of our territory to those weak ants?"
"How can Wu Zu be so compassionate towards those ants?"
"Do you disagree? Go discuss it with Wu Zu yourself."
"Never mind, I dare not."
One by one, the perfect evil god-lords chatted amongst themselves. Although some of them were dissatisfied with giving up half of their territory, it was just that – dissatisfaction. Even if they had ten times the courage, none of the evil god-lords would dare to argue with Wu Zu.
They had all cultivated to the perfect ninth stage and were not like the sixth or seventh-stage evil gods who occasionally went insane.
Ninth-stage perfect evil gods were extremely rational and understood the meaning of not doing what cannot be done; the will of a tenth-stage existence like Wu Zu could not be disobeyed.
Furthermore, giving up only half of their territory did not cross the bottom line of these perfect evil gods, so their reaction was not overly intense.
As the countless perfect evil god-lords debated and discussed, the Child of the Void sat high upon his throne, watching the interactions of the evil gods below with a casual air.
"Hmm?"
"Has Wu Zu disappeared from the Void Secret Realm?"
When Lin Yuan entered the hidden space in the deepest part of the Void Secret Realm's core region, his aura disappeared from the realm, and the Child of the Void noticed it.
"Is there no trace of Wu Zu's aura in the entire Void Secret Realm?"
The Child of the Void carefully sensed the surroundings and guessed, "Could there be a secret in the Void Secret Realm that I don't know about?"
The Child of the Void had presided over the Void Secret Realm for a long time and believed that he knew it extremely well.
But now, with Wu Zu's aura mysteriously vanishing, he couldn't help but speculate.
Of course, the Child of the Void had no other thoughts. After all, he had not been able to discover any secrets in all these long years, and even if he were given ten or a hundred times more time, he still wouldn't be able to find anything.
"That's about it."
The Child of the Void glanced down, and by now, the many perfect evil god-lords had mostly finished their discussions.
In fact, giving up half of their territory didn't affect the Child of the Void much; it was mainly up to these perfect evil god-lords to decide how much territory they would give up.
"Does Wu Zu protect those ants because they can cultivate the martial path?"
The Child of the Void wondered silently, "I should try to cultivate the martial path when I have time."
Wu Zu's importance to the martial path made the Child of the Void curious, and he decided to try it himself.
Time passed.
In the blink of an eye, ten years went by.
Void Secret Realm's hidden space.
Lin Yuan sat cross-legged on top of the giant stone.
Invisible mental willpower swept through the surroundings, distorting space-time and forming a mental storm that raged throughout this hidden space.
"My mental will has finally reached its peak."
Lin Yuan slowly opened his eyes, and his vast mental will began to quickly converge.
After ten years of absorption and constantly killing one void creature after another, Lin Yuan's mental will had finally reached its peak.
Reaching the peak meant that killing more void creature kings would have almost no effect on improving his mental will.
"My mental will index should be between 33.3 million and 33.4 million points now?"
Lin Yuan examined himself and made an estimation.
"Within this range of mental will index, is it 33,333,333 points?"
Lin Yuan couldn't be sure of the exact number, even in the main universe's human civilization, where mental will could be measured; it was only an approximate estimate.
Especially now that Lin Yuan's mental will index was extremely high, making it even more difficult to accurately measure, and he could only rely on his own experience and perception to judge.
The range of 33.3 to 33.4 million points of mental willpower made Lin Yuan think of the number 33,333,333.
In the main universe, Lin Yuan had come across this number several times: the number of insights in the Magic Jade Tower's magical evolutionary path? The number of silver-white characters in the *Interpretation of the Void*?
And the amount of time it took for the Myriad Worlds Gate to initially accumulate a strand of realm-breaking source power?
And now, his mental will index, which had once again reached its limit, was also approaching this number.
"This number probably holds a great secret." Lin Yuan thought to himself, and then put this doubt at the back of his mind.
No matter what the secret was, it was still too far from his current level. At least he would need to reach the ultimate stage before he would have the ability to explore and investigate it further.
"With over 33 million points in mental will index, I should be considered strong even among the strongest, right?"
Lin Yuan quickly thought to himself.
Eighteen million points in mental will index was the threshold for becoming a powerful being.
Only when a life underwent the ultimate leap and constantly stayed at the 'shore' would its mental will rapidly surpass this threshold.
And with over 33.3 million points in mental will index, surpassing this threshold even further, even those who had just entered the twelfth stage of the ultimate realm might not be able to immediately reach this level.
Doubling one's mental will was exponentially more difficult than doubling one's physical strength.
"There are still 203 void creature kings left." Lin Yuan glanced again at the void creature kings within the giant stone space.
Now that Lin Yuan's mental will index had reached its limit, killing more void creature kings would not bring about any improvement.
It was just like how killing ordinary void creatures no longer had any effect after Lin Yuan's mental will index surpassed 10 million points.
The void creatures were unable to enter the boundless void.
Strictly speaking, the Void Secret Realm was a 'net' cast from the boundless void towards the dimensional gaps, still essentially existing within the gaps.
That was why the void creatures could survive within the Secret Realm; they just couldn't leave.
And that was the extent of it. Any void creature that officially entered the boundless void dimension would irreversibly perish, no matter what methods or means of isolation were used.
This was also the reason why Lin Yuan had never seen these void creatures outside of the Void Secret Realm.
Since they couldn't even enter the boundless void, there was no way they could enter the chaotic void where the main universe was located, which Lin Yuan found rather regrettable.
After all, killing these void creatures could directly and significantly enhance one's spiritual will. In the main universe, this was nothing short of a fairy tale.
At least with Lin Yuan's current status in human civilization, he had never heard of such treasures. There were ways to enhance spiritual will, but a significant boost? And such a simple and substantial improvement with absolutely no theory to back it up?
In other words, as long as Lin Yuan could bring these void creatures to the main universe, even if he didn't want to empower his enemies, he could still exchange them within human civilization for unimaginable amounts of merit points and twelve-star wonders.
There was no doubt that the tenth and eleventh-stage evolvers of human civilization would spare no expense to enhance their spiritual will, even if it was just by a small amount.
As for the amount of realm-breaking source power it would take to bring the void creatures back to the main universe? As long as he obtained enough, Lin Yuan wouldn't mind spending it.
Essentially, realm-breaking source power was also a resource, and this resource was renewable.
But unfortunately, void creatures couldn't survive in any dimension, which meant that Lin Yuan's idea of profiting in both worlds was dead in the water.
In fact, even if he couldn't bring the void creatures to the main universe, Lin Yuan still had a way to let the evolvers of human civilization experience the most direct boost to their spiritual will by killing void creatures.
He could bring them into the Void Secret Realm and have them kill the void creatures there.
The Myriad Worlds Gate could transport physical bodies, and it could also bring items from the main universe. Naturally, it could also transport other life forms into the worlds it traversed.
It was just a matter of how much realm-breaking source power it would consume.
Since the void creatures couldn't leave, he would bring the evolvers of human civilization into the void.
However, this method was very risky and could easily expose the secret of the Myriad Worlds Gate.
The ability to traverse different dimensions was something that even those near-perfect time lifeforms couldn't do directly, yet Lin Yuan could do it casually, and even bring others along? The Myriad Worlds Gate was Lin Yuan's biggest trump card, far surpassing the Primordial Amber World, the Magic Jade Space, and the like. He must never reveal a hint of it.
Precisely because of this, even though this method was highly feasible and the rewards were incredibly lucrative, relying on Lin Yuan's connection with the Sky Blue World, bringing an evolver from the human civilization over would consume at most one or two strands of realm-breaking source power.
And the rewards could be that evolver's savings from half a lifetime.
But Lin Yuan would never take that risk.
Even if he became an Ultimate existence in the future, he still wouldn't do it.
If he could reach the Ultimate stage, Lin Yuan might consider partially revealing the Primordial Amber World, but the Myriad Worlds Gate? No way.
"I'll just leave these remaining void creature kings here."
Lin Yuan took one last look at the space within the giant stone and stepped forward, disappearing from the spot.
Next.
Lin Yuan began to walk within the Void Secret Realm, carefully sensing every detail of this secret realm.
With his sixth level of Spatial Fusion Insight, Lin Yuan could see through everything in the Void Secret Realm at a glance, but being able to see didn't mean it was of no help.
With the aid of the Void Secret Realm, Lin Yuan could observe the path taken by the realm's creator.
Although that creator had failed in his attempt to reach the Ultimate stage, the fact that he had stepped into the tenth stage meant that his potential was without question. His failure to become an Ultimate couldn't deny that.
After all, there were many factors that contributed to failing to reach the Ultimate stage, and bad luck was highly possible.
It took Lin Yuan five years to walk through every corner of the Void Secret Realm.
Then he began to explore the entire boundless void.
Compared to the Void Secret Realm, the boundless void was much simpler, but it consumed much more of Lin Yuan's energy.
After all, the Void Secret Realm was artificially created, and even though it contained the path of a tenth-stage existence, it was still inferior to the boundless void itself.
Another five years passed.
Lin Yuan had traversed the entire boundless void.
Then Lin Yuan casually chose a place to sit down and observe, taking a break to reflect on everything he had seen and felt, turning all of his observations into his own gains.
At this moment, in a remote corner of the vast boundless void, Lin Yuan sat cross-legged, sorting through his insights.
He already had a lot of enlightenment, and now, after ten years of observation, everything came together, and he quickly gained insight with his heaven-defying comprehension talent.
[Your comprehension talent defies the heavens, and by observing the void, your understanding of the rules of life and death has greatly improved.]
[Your comprehension talent defies the heavens, and by observing the void, your understanding of the rules of great destruction has greatly improved.]
[Your comprehension talent defies the heavens, and by observing the void, your understanding of the rules of cause and effect has greatly improved.]
