Chapter 438: Paving the Path, Dominance, Chaos
Chapter 438: Paving the Path, Dominance, Chaos (Subscribe)
"With my current physical body, soul, and the world within my body..."
"...I should barely be able to accommodate my spiritual will."
In the main star of the Milky Way Galaxy, Lin Yuan sat with his legs crossed, deep in thought.
At the tenth stage, his spiritual will index had reached over 3.33 million points.
Such terrifying spiritual will, when placed within a tenth-stage life form, was like pouring a hundred cups of water, or even a thousand, into a single cup.
The cup would not be able to contain so much water and would naturally overflow.
This was also the reason why Xia Qin, the pinnacle existence, was able to tell at a glance that Lin Yuan's spiritual will was beyond the norm.
In theory, the higher one's spiritual will, the harder it should be for others to detect it.
After all, this level of spiritual power excels in concealment.
However, now that Lin Yuan had entered the eleventh stage, his physical body, soul, and the world within his body had undergone a qualitative transformation and greatly improved.
Although it still couldn't match his spiritual will index of over 3 million points, it was much better than when he was at the tenth stage. At least, by suppressing it, he could hide it from the perception of twelfth-stage pinnacle existences.
Twelfth-stage pinnacle existences understood each other and didn't bother to conceal their spiritual will. However, Lin Yuan was not a twelfth-stage existence.
It didn't matter if the pinnacle existence of his own human civilization knew his true strength, but it wouldn't be a good thing if those foreign pinnacle existences realized how powerful Lin Yuan's spiritual will was.
After all, it was always best to keep one's trump cards hidden.
Lin Yuan had agreed to announce his entry into the eleventh stage to prepare for his foray into the super-large battlefield.
And by merely announcing his attainment of the eleventh stage, he wasn't really revealing his full hand. His true strength far surpassed that of a perfect eleventh stage.
"The super-large battlefield will be opened within half a year."
Lin Yuan thought to himself. Very few evolutionaries in the human civilization knew when the super-large battlefield would be opened, but Lin Yuan had obtained clear information from the pinnacle existence.
"Two great primordial spirits."
Lin Yuan's thoughts stirred, and with his powerful spiritual will, even one of his incarnations possessed the ability to protect itself in a large battlefield.
So, the one currently in the large battlefield, rapidly accumulating boundary-breaking source power, was just one of Lin Yuan's incarnations, leaving him with a spare primordial spirit.
"It's a pity that a primordial spirit is still a primordial spirit. The chaos void origin is completely immersed in the depths of my true body's internal world," Lin Yuan shook his head slightly.
Although the primordial spirit of his true body shared its will, there was still a difference when it came to the infusion of the chaos void origin, as the amount infused into his two great primordial spirits was not at the same level as his true body.
In simpler terms, the amount of chaos void origin that his two great primordial spirits could withstand was far inferior to that of his true body.
"But this is also good."
Lin Yuan's thoughts took a turn, and his eyes relaxed.
If his two great primordial spirits were like his true body, immersed in a large amount of chaos void origin, he really wouldn't dare to deploy them. If a primordial spirit fell, the vast amount of chaos void origin within it would also dissipate.
Now, although it would cost him something to re-condense his two great primordial spirits, it was still within his means.
"With my current level, I can start working on the eleventh stage of the Martial Way."
Lin Yuan's gaze deepened.
Compared to Lin Yuan's personal cultivation path, the eleventh stage of the Martial Way was relatively smoother.
After all, Lin Yuan's conditions were unique and irreproducible—like traveling to other dimensional spaces to comprehend the rules, or his heaven-defying insight that allowed him to learn a hundredfold from a single insight.
"Hmm?"
"Nalan, the deputy tower master, is looking for me?"
Lin Yuan's heart stirred, and his consciousness entered the virtual world.
"Congratulations, Galaxy Master." Nalan, the deputy tower master, appeared, his gaze towards Lin Yuan filled with complex emotions.
Unlike other evolutionaries who had only heard of the Galaxy Master's deeds, Nalan had witnessed Lin Yuan's growth first-hand.
Nalan remembered the first time he met the Galaxy Master. It was on the Red Kun Main Star, where he had delivered the 'Spirit Calming Pearl' under the orders of Xia Qin, the pinnacle existence.
Back then, how immature was Lin Yuan? Although he had displayed outstanding talent and aptitude in the Red Kun Star Field, he was still insignificant when compared to the entire human civilization.
And by the time Nalan paid attention to Lin Yuan again, he had already reached the ninth stage and was sparring in the time-rule domain at the request of the pinnacle existence.
Nalan had been thoroughly defeated in that spar.
It was an expected defeat.
Because of that defeat, Nalan had broken through his shackles and entered the eleventh stage.
But now...
How long had it been before Lin Yuan followed and also entered the eleventh stage?
Nalan's thoughts were in turmoil, but he didn't feel any jealousy because it was simply impossible to feel jealous.
Other evolutionaries had only learned of the Galaxy Master's growth rate through various pieces of information, but he, Nalan, had witnessed Lin Yuan's growth every step of the way.
The impact they had on themselves was completely different.
"It's just a fluke," Lin Yuan waved his hand modestly.
"Galaxy Master is being humble," Nalan sighed.
"This time, I'm inviting Galaxy Master to attend a gathering," Nalan got to the main point.
This gathering was composed of many eleventh-stage evolutionaries from the human civilization, specifically held to celebrate Lin Yuan's entry into the eleventh stage.
Even for a peak group like the human civilization, eleventh-stage evolutionaries were extremely rare, with no more than a thousand known to exist.
Whenever an eleventh-stage evolutory was born, the others would make an effort to meet them, especially someone like Lin Yuan, who had reached the eleventh stage as the strongest tenth-stage and the most outstanding genius in the history of human civilization.
"No problem," Lin Yuan nodded.
Anyway, the gathering would definitely be held in the virtual world, so he didn't need to spend much time—just a thread of his spiritual will would be enough.
"Good, then I invite you."
Nalan's figure disappeared.
At the same time.
An invitation appeared before Lin Yuan.
Lin Yuan chose to accept.
Instantly, he entered a manor.
The eleventh-stage evolutionaries smiled as they looked at Lin Yuan.
Lin Yuan had met many of these evolutionaries several times.
For example, there was the president of the Biluohui, the head of the Xuanyuan family, and the human head of the Xia family.
Most of them he had met at Nalan's eleventh-stage celebration.
However, Lin Yuan had only heard of the names of most of the eleventh-stage evolutionaries and had never interacted with them personally.
"Hahaha, the Galaxy Master has arrived."
The head of the Xuanyuan family stood up with a smile on his face.
Subsequently, the other eleventh-stage evolutionaries also stood up one after another and greeted Lin Yuan.
Soon, they sat down in groups of three or four.
Those who had cultivated to the eleventh stage were mostly from different eras, and a large proportion of them had directly originated from the long hibernation period before the first year of the Star Sea Calendar.
While these evolutionaries valued the Galaxy Master, they didn't go out of their way to curry favor.
"In a super-large war, only eleventh-stage beings can enter, and the battlefield is vast and expansive, far surpassing all previous large-scale battlefields. So, many eleventh-stage evolutionaries are discussing how to cooperate with each other in this super-large exotic battlefield," Nalan whispered. Although he was a newly advanced eleventh-stage himself, he had already integrated into the eleventh-stage circle and was well-informed about the current concerns of the eleventh-stage evolutionaries.
"I see," Lin Yuan nodded.
He had already learned about the importance of the super-large exotic battlefield from the pinnacle existence of human civilization.
"Galaxy Master."
At this moment, a tall and sturdy woman walked over and looked at Lin Yuan with great curiosity.
"Xuan Yuan Dojo Master," Nalan, the deputy tower master, immediately addressed her.
"Xuan Yuan Duo," Lin Yuan looked at the tall woman before him.
Lin Yuan was familiar with this Xuan Yuan Duo. When he had fallen into the two-dimensional white paper world, Xuan Yuan Duo was the leader of the group of eleventh-stage powerhouses from human civilization.
At that time, Lin Yuan, under the guise of 'Blood Rain', had also interacted with this Xuan Yuan Duo.
Xuan Yuan Duo was from the Xuan Yuan family, the strongest family in human civilization, and naturally had more than one eleventh-stage evolutionary.
"The founder often mentions you in front of us," Xuan Yuan Duo said.
The 'founder' that Xuan Yuan Duo referred to was, of course, the source of the Xuan Yuan family bloodline and the first pinnacle existence of human civilization.
Even as a pinnacle existence, when it came to their family, they would definitely pay close attention to the eleventh-stage juniors. Occasionally, they would send a strand of their spiritual will to guide them.
Given Lin Yuan's displayed talent and aptitude, it was only natural for the pinnacle existences to mention him when teaching their juniors.
"I am honored to be regarded so highly by the pinnacle existence," Lin Yuan said.
"The founder is the strongest among the nine pinnacle existences of our human race. If he holds you in such high regard, he must have his reasons," Xuan Yuan Duo continued, appraising Lin Yuan.
"Xuan Yuan pinnacle existence..." Lin Yuan's mind involuntarily conjured up a vague and majestic figure.
Among the nine pinnacle existences of human civilization that he had met several times, the Xuan Yuan pinnacle existence was undoubtedly the most taciturn.
He rarely spoke.
However, in terms of strength, there was no doubt about Xuan Yuan's power.
If the Summer Qin pinnacle existence and the Guli pinnacle existence were at the apex of killing power among the nine pinnacle existences of human civilization, then the Xuan Yuan pinnacle existence was undoubtedly the strongest in terms of spatial manipulation.
The Void God pinnacle existence was unparalleled in their mastery of illusions.
As for the Xuan Yuan pinnacle existence, he was an all-around powerhouse with no apparent weaknesses.
It was the Xuan Yuan pinnacle existence who had supported human civilization during its most challenging times.
"I've heard that the Xuan Yuan pinnacle existence is already close to the peak of the Path of Initiation," Nalan, the deputy tower master, interjected excitedly.
"Peak of the Path of Initiation," Lin Yuan's thoughts wandered.
The ninth stage was divided into five realms: the Tenfold Realm, the Myriad Realm, the Hundred Thousand Realm, the Million Realm, and the Ten Million Realm.
The tenth stage also had multiple layers, with the pinnacle being the Grade A tenth stage.
The eleventh stage was similar, with six tiers, and those who reached the sixth tier of the eleventh stage were capable of challenging the ultimate stage at any time.
As for the twelfth stage, the ultimate stage and the realm of the pinnacle existences, it could also be divided into three tiers.
These were:
Path of Initiation, Domain of Dominance, and Chaotic Realm.
Before the Path of Initiation, there was also a transitional stage where newly advanced twelfth-stage beings would reside.
However, this stage would pass quickly, and twelfth-stage beings would soon forge their own path.
Hence, the name Path of Initiation.
Forging one's own path was the Path of Initiation.
After the Path of Initiation came the Domain of Dominance and the Chaotic Realm.
Powerhouses like the Master of the Demon Jade Mansion and the Xuan Huang Emperor belonged to the Chaotic Realm's apex, reigning supreme in the Chaotic Void and establishing their own transcendent forces.
"It's not that easy to reach the peak of the Path of Initiation," Xuan Yuan Duo shook her head slightly. Having reached the eleventh stage, one could access a lot of information about the twelfth stage.
Among this information was the knowledge of the universe's end and the calamity of all things collapsing.
To survive the late stages of the universe's destruction, more than half of the twelfth-stage ultimate beings would have to perish. To ensure a smooth passage, one would need to possess the strength of at least the peak of the Path of Initiation.
Below the peak of the Path of Initiation, one could only rely on luck. During the universe's destruction, each pinnacle existence would face different pressures, and with good fortune, one might be able to pull through.
As for the Domain of Dominance, which came after the Path of Initiation, a twelfth-stage being in this realm could be considered a powerhouse even in the Chaotic Void, overlooking all with their dominance.
"Normally, in a complete universe era, it is extremely rare for a twelfth-stage being to reach the peak of the Path of Initiation," Xuan Yuan Duo added.
If the head of the Xuan Yuan family could cultivate to the peak of the Path of Initiation, it would have an unprecedented impact on human civilization.
Not to mention the explosive increase in combat power, but at the very least, during the calamity of the universe's end, a large proportion of human civilization's elite forces could be protected and smoothly guided into the Chaotic Void.
Lin Yuan already knew a lot about the specific divisions of the twelfth stage, whether it was from the Demon Jade Space or the Xuan Huang Secret Realm, both of which had records in this regard.
"So far, the universe I am in is still very young, having only experienced a tenth of a universe era. Unless something unexpected happens, it will still be a long time before its destruction," Lin Yuan thought to himself.
If one were to measure a complete universe era in 'years', no one knew how many billions or even trillions of years it would be.
For powerhouses like the Master of the Demon Jade Mansion and the Xuan Huang Emperor, who stood at the apex of the Chaotic Realm, they had long abandoned the use of 'years' as a unit of time and instead measured time in universe eras.
Different levels of life perceived time on different scales.
Lin Yuan chatted with Xuan Yuan Duo and Nalan, the deputy tower master, about the twelfth stage and its various tiers.
Soon, the topic shifted to the super-large exotic battlefield.
"Galaxy Master, will you be entering this super-large battlefield as well?" Xuan Yuan Duo asked casually.
"I should be going," Lin Yuan nodded. This was something he had discussed with the pinnacle existences.
Lin Yuan would help human civilization secure the upper hand in the super-large exotic battlefield in his guise as the Calming Sea Godly Needle.
Of course, this matter was top secret. If the exotic races were to find out, they might devise countermeasures.
"Indeed,"
Xuan Yuan Duo nodded and then seemed to think of something. She scanned the surrounding eleventh-stage evolutionaries, blocked out their senses, and lowered her voice, "But rest assured, for this super-large exotic battlefield, our human civilization is not unprepared. We have a crucial trump card up our sleeve."
