Chapter 46: The Three Goddesses
Chapter 46: The Three Goddesses
In a residential area called Shuiyue on the planet Canglan, within a nondescript housing unit numbered thirty-two, Lin Yuan opened his eyes inside a nourishment chamber.
This second journey through the Gate of Myriad Worlds had taken significantly longer than the first. He had spent a total of eighty years in the Longhu World.
To put that into perspective, including his first journey, his life in the Main World, and his previous life on 'Earth', he hadn't even lived for eighty years in total.
But it had all been worth it, for during this time, Lin Yuan had created the Tai Chi Doctrine.
Among the Heaven Master tier, those who achieved breakthroughs through the Grand Ultimate Yin or Grand Ultimate Yang paths were far inferior to those who followed the Tai Chi path. Even without relying on either of the Grand Ultimates, Lin Yuan's defying comprehension ability would have allowed him to forcefully forge a new path to the Heaven Master realm. That was precisely what he had attempted during his first ten years in the Longhu World, only to discover that in terms of potential and combat prowess, neither approach could compare to the Grand Ultimate Yin-Yang paths.
And yet, even the Grand Ultimate Yin and Yang paths paled in comparison to the perfection and power of the Tai Chi path that he had ultimately chosen.
Perhaps, among the myriad evolution paths offered by the Cosmic Human Alliance, there existed ones even more formidable than the Tai Chi Doctrine. But none would be as perfectly suited to Lin Yuan as the path he had crafted himself. How could an evolution path blazed by another ever feel as right as one's own?
"My current strength should be at the peak of Tier 2, Stage 12, infinitely approaching the Tier 3 realm," Lin Yuan mused to himself.
In the sixty years it had taken to pacify the demons of Longhu, he had advanced from Tier 2, Stage 9 to Tier 2, Stage 12 in just forty years. The remaining two decades had been spent exploring the path to Tier 3.
To advance through three whole stages in forty years was impressive by the standards of Canglan, but in the context of the entire Cosmic Human Alliance, it could only be considered above average.
But it was important to remember that with each step, Lin Yuan had been forging an entirely new evolution path. He had started from scratch, creating a novel cultivation system, and the challenges he had faced along the way were exponentially more difficult than those encountered by cultivators who followed pre-existing paths laid down by their predecessors.
As his thoughts settled, Lin Yuan rose from the nourishment chamber and left.
Even after eighty years of dominance in the Longhu World, there were still many secrets he had yet to unravel. For instance, the True Martial Sword and the Primordial Demon Spirit—artifacts from the 'Upper Realm', as they were called. Why had they ended up in the 'Lower Realm'? Were there powerful beings from the Upper Realm orchestrating events in the background?
But now that he had returned, these matters no longer concerned him.
"Two hours," Lin Yuan noted, checking the time.
From the moment he had lain down to initiate the journey to the moment he had awakened, two hours and three minutes had passed.
"It seems the tier and position of the Longhu World are indeed slightly higher than those of the Martial Arts World," he concluded.
In the Martial Arts World, twenty years had passed while only ten minutes had elapsed in the Main World. If the ratio held true, then eighty years in the Longhu World would equate to forty minutes in the Main World. The flow of time in the Longhu World was less than half that of the Martial Arts World.
"There's also Yin-Yang energy here on Canglan," Lin Yuan realized as he stepped out onto the rooftop.
It was night, and he could distinctly sense the Yin-Yang energies permeating the heavens and the earth. With night having fallen, the Yin energy was slightly more prevalent than the Yang.
"Absorbing it bit by bit is too slow. I'll need to buy the corresponding 'spirit objects'," he sighed.
His cultivation had reached a new realm, and all he needed now was an accumulation of energy. Fortunately, the Main World had an abundance of energy sources. If he wanted, Lin Yuan could even go to the surface of a star to cultivate. The Yang energy there was so dense that it had liquefied, and a single breath would likely provide him with more energy than years of hard work elsewhere.
Of course, such endeavors required a substantial amount of money. And money was precisely what Lin Yuan lacked the most.
With sufficient funds, he could not only purchase various spirit objects but also acquire evolution paths from the Cosmic Human Alliance to further refine and improve his own cultivation system.
"I'll continue uploading the Tai Chi Doctrine," he decided after a moment's thought.
The Cosmic Human Alliance encouraged its citizens to develop new evolution paths, and the Three Goddesses even provided additional resources to support such endeavors.
After his first journey, Lin Yuan had exchanged the Martial Arts evolution path for five thousand merit points. He had used a thousand of those points to elevate his citizen rank to Level 2, granting him numerous privileges and making him an undisputed member of the privileged class on Canglan.
The Tai Chi Doctrine was the continuation of the martial arts cultivation system he had established, and by uploading it, he would undoubtedly attract the attention of the Wisdom Goddess, leading to a reevaluation and subsequent bestowal of additional merit points.
In the Cosmic Human Alliance, merit points were everything.
To earn these merit points, one had to contribute to the advancement of humanity, and there were surely many ways to do so. But for Lin Yuan, the fastest and simplest method was to upload the Tai Chi Doctrine.
The Three Goddesses of the Cosmic Human Alliance were absolutely selfless and would never oppress or enslave their citizens. As long as Lin Yuan's Tai Chi Doctrine held sufficient value, they would ensure its protection.
And even if other citizens were to cultivate the Tai Chi Doctrine after its upload, how could they possibly catch up to Lin Yuan, especially considering that the cultivation environment in the Cosmic Human Alliance far surpassed that of the Longhu World? For others to reach the Heaven Master tier via the Martial Arts evolution path would still take them several decades, at the very least.
After several decades, which amounted to dozens of trips given Lin Yuan's rate of one trip every eight months, the Heavenly Master was but an ant in Lin Yuan's eyes.
Now that he had decided to upload the Tai Chi Doctrine, Lin Yuan began translating it into the Main World's language and making minor adjustments.
Several days later, Lin Yuan organized his gains from the Longhu World into two parts: the Celestial Phenomenon and the Yin-Yang.
The Yin-Yang, a name Lin Yuan had come up with for the Heaven Master tier. Mastering and merging the Grand Ultimate Yin and Yang.
After completing these tasks, Lin Yuan connected his consciousness to the Wisdom Goddess.
For an ordinary citizen, even connecting to one of the Wisdom Goddess' insignificant subsidiaries would require patiently waiting for several minutes.
But Lin Yuan was a Level 2 citizen who had contributed to the advancement of the Cosmic Human Alliance.
In the blink of an eye, the solemn and cold voice of the Wisdom Goddess resounded.
"Respected Level 2 citizen, Lin Yuan, please state your request."
"I want to continue uploading the Martial Arts evolution path." Lin Yuan stated directly.
After notifying the Wisdom Goddess, Lin Yuan uploaded the 'Celestial Phenomenon' and the 'Yin-Yang' that he had organized.
At the moment the Wisdom Goddess received the 'Celestial Phenomenon' and the 'Yin-Yang', in a mysterious space countless light-years away from Canglan Star, Huge light screens flashed rapidly, and enormous computational power frantically assessed and simulated the value of the 'Celestial Phenomenon' and the 'Yin-Yang'.
"Detection of 'Celestial Phenomenon' involving Yin-Yang dual attributes, detection of 'Yin-Yang' involving the fusion of extreme Yin-Yang powers. The theoretical limit of this evolution path is determined to be 'Sixth Tier'."
"Discovery of potential upper limit reaching 'Sixth Tier' evolution path, triggering the Ninth Article of the Charter, begin contacting the Goddess of Justice... Begin contacting the Goddess of Freedom."
"Confirmed by the three goddesses, this evolution path indeed has the potential to reach the 'Sixth Tier'."
"The relevant plan is generated, and contact is being made with the highest authority on this planet, Executive Officer Song Wuyang."
At the highest level of Canglan Star, Executive Officer Song Wuyang concluded his call with officials from other planets.
"The Planet Arena Battle is about to begin. I hope that this time, there will be some seedlings with the potential of Three and Four Tiers."
Song Wuyang sighed.
As the Executive Officer, he also had 'performance' pressure.
Every ten years, the Wisdom Goddess would meticulously evaluate everything he had done during his term.
Some of the criteria included the number of individuals at each tier born on Canglan Star during his tenure, as well as the overall happiness index of the citizens.
The higher the Wisdom Goddess' evaluation of him, the greater his gains, specifically in the form of merit points.
Of course, if the Wisdom Goddess gave him a low evaluation, he would not only fail to obtain merit points but also be 'impeached'. In serious cases, he would lose his position as Executive Officer and be sent to the Supreme Court for trial.
"I wonder how the founder of the Martial Arts evolution path is doing now?"
Thinking of the Planet Arena Battle, Song Wuyang naturally thought of Lin Yuan.
After all, the Martial Arts evolution system had squeezed into the top 100 of the Canglan Star Evolution Rankings as soon as it appeared.
This was the first time the Evolution Rankings had changed during Song Wuyang's term.
"The Wisdom Goddess is so protective of the founders of evolution paths that even I, as the Executive Officer, cannot access their information."
Song Wuyang curled his lips.
For an ordinary Level 2 citizen, he, as a Level 4 citizen, could access their information as he pleased.
But Lin Yuan was not only a Level 2 citizen but also the founder of an evolution path, a special person under the protection of the Wisdom Goddess.
However, Song Wuyang also understood the Wisdom Goddess' behavior.
In the history of the Cosmic Human Alliance, there had been many cases of talented individuals being stifled prematurely.
This stifling came from enemies, competitors, or even alien races.
Thus, the three goddesses decided that as long as a human was deemed a 'genius', they would be protected by specific encrypted information.
Others would not be able to obtain any related information, making it very difficult to carry out their stifling plans.
"But the Martial Arts evolution system only has a potential upper limit of Three Tiers. If it weren't for its wide popularity, the goddess wouldn't pay so much attention to it."
Song Wuyang shook his head slightly.
When determining the value of an evolution path, potential was one aspect, and popularity was another.
Suddenly, at that moment, A synthesized electronic voice sounded.
"Executive Officer Song Wuyang, the Wisdom Goddess requests a connection."
"The Wisdom Goddess is looking for me?" Song Wuyang was slightly stunned.
He had just been thinking about the Wisdom Goddess, and now she was looking for him.
"Connect."
Song Wuyang nodded.
He also straightened his back, wanting to appear more presentable to the Wisdom Goddess.
After all, Song Wuyang couldn't see the Wisdom Goddess, but through numerous monitoring devices, she could observe all of his movements at any time.
As Song Wuyang chose to 'connect' with the Wisdom Goddess, "Connection established with the Wisdom Goddess."
"Connection established with the Freedom Goddess."
"Connection established with the Justice Goddess."
In an instant, the three ultimate intelligent goddesses of the Cosmic Human Alliance were all present.
This caused Song Wuyang's scalp to go numb.
Wasn't the Wisdom Goddess supposed to be the one initiating the call? Why were all three goddesses here?
Oh god, what has happened to startle all three goddesses?
