Chapter 460: The Terrifying Merit Point Settlement
Chapter 460: The Terrifying Merit Point Settlement (Seeking Subscription)
In the distant Xuanhuang Secret Realm, Lin Yuan's true self sat cross-legged.
With him as the center, all time and space constantly merged and intertwined, as if worlds were being born and destroyed.
This was a manifestation of having reached a certain height in one's understanding of the rules of space-time fusion.
Ever since the Queen Mother of Myriad Changes of the Bug Tribe pointed out some secrets ninety years ago, Lin Yuan's true self has been residing in the Xuanhuang Secret Realm. After all, this place could be considered absolutely safe, as even the Ultimate Twelfth-tiers were unable to lock onto specific coordinates here.
With some of his strength exposed, Lin Yuan naturally had to consider whether the Twelfth-tier Ultimates would try to assassinate him.
The strongest among the Qin Clan had once invited Lin Yuan to the Central Star Field, where there were many clan-suppressing weapons.
It could be considered sufficiently safe.
However, Lin Yuan still preferred the Xuanhuang Secret Realm.
As for the Galaxy Main Star? He could casually send an incarnation to preside over it.
With Lin Yuan's current mental willpower and his understanding of the rules, even an incarnation hastily condensed at random could exhibit strength close to the peak of the Eleventh Tier.
In a sense, Lin Yuan could be considered a 'weakened version' of a Twelfth-tier Ultimate.
Before stepping into the Twelfth Tier, Lin Yuan set a requirement for himself—his true self should refrain from leaving the Xuanhuang Secret Realm as much as possible.
If there were matters to be dealt with in the outside world, he should use the Solar and Lunar Primordial Yin and Yang Divine Souls as much as possible.
In addition, he had a large number of incarnations he could utilize.
"In ninety years, I have raised thirty-six types of pillar-level fusion rules to the seventh level, that is, the twelfth level. But what about the space-time fusion rule?" Lin Yuan thought.
If one were to divide the sixth level of the space-time fusion rule into early, middle, late, and peak stages, then Lin Yuan's current understanding of the space-time fusion rule should be at the middle stage, still some distance from the late stage.
This was already extremely exaggerated.
Even for most Twelfth-tier Ultimates, their understanding of space-time fusion rules was mostly at the early to middle stages, with only a few at the late stage. Very few had reached the peak of the sixth level.
And as for the seventh level of understanding of space-time fusion rules? At least up to now, Lin Yuan had not heard of any Twelfth-tier Ultimate reaching this stage.
Powerful beings like the Xuan Emperor and the Master of the Magic Jade Tower, who were at the Chaos Realm, had their understanding of space-time fusion rules stopped at the ninth level.
"With my current understanding of the rules, I still can't get past the seventh level of the Magic Jade Tower?" Lin Yuan felt helpless. When he was at the Tenth Tier, he could pass through a third of the seventh level of the Black Tower. Now that he was at the Eleventh Tier and had cultivated for a hundred to two hundred years, he was still stuck at the last section of the seventh level.
"It seems that the gap between me and a true Twelfth-tier lifeform is still quite large," Lin Yuan thought to himself. The nine-story Black Tower was built by the Master of the Magic Jade Tower, and from the seventh floor onwards, only Twelfth-tier lifeforms could hope to pass through.
"Internal World."
Lin Yuan's conscious incarnation descended into his internal world. In the past ninety years, in addition to improving his understanding of the rules, his internal world had also grown immensely.
After enduring the second infusion of Chaos Void Origin, Lin Yuan obtained benefits that were no less than those of an Eleventh-tier perfect lifeform challenging an Ultimate. However, the vast majority of the Chaos Void Origin sank into the depths of his internal world.
As Lin Yuan had not stepped into the Twelfth Tier, his life essence had not yet undergone a significant transformation, so he was unable to absorb all the Chaos Void Origin in a short period of time.
However, as time passed, the Chaos Void Origin that had sunk into the depths of his internal world was gradually being absorbed.
This led to—
Lin Yuan's internal world, in just ninety short years, had expanded to more than 9,000 billion li in size.
To know, when Lin Yuan first entered the Eleventh Tier, his internal world was only 6,000 billion li in size. Now, after more than a hundred years, it had reached more than 9,000 billion li.
It had increased by more than 3,000 billion li in size, equivalent to the internal world of how many millions of Eleventh-tier perfect lifeforms?
"In theory, if I absorb all the dormant Chaos Void Origin, my internal world will reach the threshold of the Twelfth Tier, that is, tens of thousands of light-years?"
"At that time, my internal world will slowly metamorphose into an internal universe?"
Lin Yuan thought.
However, this would take too long. From thousands of miles to tens of thousands of light-years was a huge leap.
Moreover, the internal world was restricted by the life essence. As long as Lin Yuan did not step into the Twelfth Tier, there would probably be an upper limit.
"The 'Xuanhuang Body' is probably not far from reaching the Eleventh Tier perfection," Lin Yuan said as he carefully sensed his physical body, a satisfied smile appearing on his face.
In the past ninety years, Lin Yuan had gradually completed transactions with other peak clan forces, and more than six hundred supreme weapons had already been traded away, bringing him a huge amount of cultivation resources.
More than eighty years ago, Lin Yuan officially pushed the "Xuanhuang Body" to perfection.
Now, he was only a few steps away from reaching the Eleventh Tier perfection.
Once the "Xuanhuang Body" reached the Eleventh Tier perfection, Lin Yuan's physical body would be comparable to the bodies of the Twelfth-tier Ultimates.
"To reach the Twelfth Tier perfection with the 'Xuanhuang Body', how much more cultivation is needed?" Lin Yuan frowned.
Normally, a Twelfth-tier perfect "Xuanhuang Body" would allow the cultivator to rival a peak 'Dao-Initiating' realm lifeform with just their physical body.
This was also the reason why the Twelfth-tier "Xuanhuang Body" was said to be able to easily survive the universe-destroying calamity.
However, Lin Yuan's physical body had started off too strong. After he reached the Twelfth Tier, if he wanted to continue cultivating the "Xuanhuang Body" to the Twelfth Tier perfection, the amount of resources he would need would probably far exceed that of a normal Twelfth-tier perfection cultivator.
A normal Twelfth-tier perfect "Xuanhuang Body" had already reached the stage where even if one exhausted the resources of an entire universe, they might not be able to succeed in their cultivation.
As for Lin Yuan's Twelfth-tier perfect "Xuanhuang Body", at least within this universe, there was absolutely no hope of successful cultivation, and even reaching perfection was a luxury.
Of course, the benefits would also be enormous.
With Lin Yuan's current strong foundation, once he cultivated the "Xuanhuang Body" to the Twelfth Tier perfection, his physical body alone would probably be able to rival a Dominator realm expert.
Lin Yuan took stock of his gains over the past ninety years.
To put it simply, compared to ninety years ago, Lin Yuan's strength had increased significantly. Now, if he wanted to kill tens of thousands of Eleventh-tier aliens, he probably wouldn't even need to activate his divine ability, 'World'.
"Boundary-Breaking Source Power."
Lin Yuan sank his mind into his sea of consciousness, gazing at the majestic Myriad Worlds Gate.
The stronger his strength and realm became, the greater the impact Lin Yuan felt when looking at the Myriad Worlds Gate. This giant gate seemed to transcend all dimensional spaces, far beyond the scope of even the space-time fusion rules.
"One thousand four hundred and fifty-three strands of Boundary-Breaking Source Power."
Lin Yuan slightly sensed the number of Boundary-Breaking Source Power strands, and this enormous amount was more than enough to 'customize' an extremely high-level dimensional world shuttle.
"The large-scale war is about to end, and it's time for the eleventh shuttle."
"The large-scale war is over."
In the super-large battlefield, the Sun Primordial Divine Soul emerged from the depths of the altar.
According to the rules set by the various peak clan forces, occupying the altar for over a century would grant dominance over the war, signifying victory.
In truth, as early as ninety years ago, when the powerful beings from the various peak clan forces withdrew from the super-large battlefield, it could be declared that the Human Civilization had won the war.
"The war is over."
"Tsk, tsk, this super-large war was indeed too easy."
"Indeed, if not for the Galaxy Main Star, we wouldn't be talking about victory right now. We would still be locked in a fierce battle with those peak clan forces."
One by one, the evolvers from the Human Civilization withdrew from the battlefield, chatting casually with each other.
Aside from the initial period of this war, which had been somewhat pressurizing, the rest of the time had been extremely comfortable.
Although, when it came to the distribution of merit points, the harvest of merit points for these Human Civilization evolvers wasn't as substantial as they had imagined it would be. After all, the Galaxy Main Star alone had defeated the eleven peak clan forces.
There was basically no opportunity for them, as eleventh-tiers, to contribute.
However, the upside was safety. Many eleventh-tier powerhouses from the Human Civilization Alliance felt that throughout the entire war, they had been taking it easy and hadn't exerted much effort before it had ended.
In fact, the numerous eleventh-tier powerhouses had obtained quite a number of merit points. Although they hadn't fought against eleventh-tier aliens, thereby distinguishing themselves, the victory of the war itself still resulted in a certain number of merit points being distributed.
Overall, the eleventh-tier powerhouses' harvest of merit points hadn't decreased by much.
After all, a century had passed, and if not for the Galaxy Main Star, the Human Civilization might have had to fight for thousands or even tens of thousands of years to emerge victorious in this super-large war.
"It would be great if every war from now on was this comfortable."
"Indeed, we get merit points without having to lift a finger."
"Hahaha, I've already decided that as long as the Galaxy Main Star is overseeing a war, I'll definitely participate."
The numerous eleventh-tier powerhouses withdrew smoothly from the super-large battlefield and then, under the wave of the hand of the Human Civilization's most powerful being, returned to the Human Civilization's domain.
The location of the super-large battlefield wasn't within the domain of any clan force. Instead, it was in a desolate star field.
There were many such star fields in the universe, desolate and barren, without any value for occupation, so much so that even ordinary clan forces and weak clan forces didn't bother with them.
"I should leave too."
As the ruler of the Human Civilization Alliance, Lin Yuan was naturally the last to leave the battlefield.
He took one last look at the super-large battlefield, feeling a bit reluctant to leave. He had gained so much from this battlefield—countless essence and essence pollen from the bodies of tens of thousands of eleventh-tier aliens, over six hundred supreme weapons, and countless treasures and rarities, to name a few.
Just the super-large war itself, with its incredibly profound combination of space-time constructs, had brought Lin Yuan tremendous benefits.
Over the past hundred years, Lin Yuan's understanding of space-time fusion had soared, thanks primarily to his heaven-defying comprehension talent, but the insights gained from observing the super-large battlefield had also played a significant role.
"I'll leave one incarnation outside the battlefield."
With a slight stir of his consciousness, Lin Yuan condensed an incarnation, merging it into the depths of the layered space, constantly observing the super-large battlefield itself.
In fact, ever since he had reached the middle stage of the Sixth Level of the Space-Time Sixfold Realm, the benefits he gained from the super-large battlefield had become rather insignificant. Many twelfth-tier ultimates had an understanding of space-time that was on par with Lin Yuan's, or even inferior.
But insignificant as it was, it was still beneficial.
After all, he was only leaving behind one incarnation, and with Lin Yuan's current mental willpower, he could easily maintain hundreds of incarnations at the peak of the eleventh tier simultaneously without any pressure.
In the Xuanhuang Secret Realm, Lin Yuan opened his eyes.
The official end of the super-large war meant that the next phase would be the distribution of rewards based on merit.
In other words, the three goddesses would now determine the performance and merits of each eleventh-tier evolver from the Human Civilization in the super-large war and bestow upon them their due merit points.
"Wisdom Goddess."
Lin Yuan's gaze drifted towards the starry universe.
At the same time...
Lin Yuan's Sun Primordial Divine Soul split off a strand of consciousness and connected with the Wisdom Goddess.
Lin Yuan's true self was situated in the Xuanhuang Secret Realm, a place that was beyond the reach of the virtual world and was also a 'signal blind spot' for the three goddesses.
In fact, at Lin Yuan's current level, even without the isolation provided by the Xuanhuang Secret Realm, he could easily cut himself off from the virtual world and the three goddesses as long as he didn't wish to be disturbed, even if he were within the domain of the Human Civilization.
"Honorable Level 9 Citizen and Overlord of the Super-Large War, Scholar Lin Yuan, your performance is currently being evaluated, please wait a moment." The dignified and cold voice of the Wisdom Goddess echoed.
For ordinary eleventh-tier evolvers, their performance on the battlefield could be instantly evaluated by the three goddesses, thanks to their immense computational power.
After all, there were clear guidelines that determined how many merit points were awarded for specific accomplishments, leaving no room for subjective judgment.
But Lin Yuan was an exception.
His performance in the war had been so outstanding that it could be said that the outcome of the entire super-large war would have been vastly different without his involvement.
As such, the evaluation of Lin Yuan's performance required extreme caution and even relied on the subjective judgment of the nine most powerful beings.
Time passed.
In the blink of an eye, more than half an hour went by.
Once again, the voice of the Wisdom Goddess sounded in Lin Yuan's ear.
"Honorable Level 9 Citizen and Overlord of the Super-Large War, Scholar Lin Yuan, based on your performance in the war, the final evaluation is as follows."
"For killing alien eleventh-tiers, you will receive..."
"For guiding the Human Civilization to victory in the first large-scale war, you will receive..."
"For occupying the victory altar for a century, you will receive..."
After about forty or fifty items were evaluated by the Wisdom Goddess, Lin Yuan finally heard the total number of merit points he had been awarded.
"After careful evaluation, Scholar Lin Yuan has earned a total of 216,234,530,000 merit points for his contributions in this war."
"Over two thousand billion merit points?" Lin Yuan's eyebrows rose slightly as this amount exceeded his expectations.
Initially, Lin Yuan had estimated that he would receive at least five hundred billion merit points, with an upper limit of one trillion. But over two thousand billion merit points was beyond his forecast.
Lin Yuan was slightly surprised.
"They must have included other merits in the evaluation," Lin Yuan thought to himself.
Lin Yuan's performance in the super-large battlefield went far beyond simply killing tens of thousands of eleventh-tier aliens and leading the Human Civilization to victory.
It also had a unique deterrent effect.
At the very least, he had left a deep psychological impact on the eleventh-tier powerhouses of the other peak clan forces, including even the strongest eleventh-tiers.
