"Galaxy Master Lin, what is your true strength?"
One of the peak Human Civilization powerhouses, Xia Qin, couldn't help but ask.
Not long ago, after Lin Yuan had stepped into the Twelfth Stage, he had told them that his power was equivalent to the peak of the Path Unblocking Realm.
The nine peak powerhouses of Human Civilization were astounded. The peak of the Path Unblocking Realm was a level they could only dream of attaining.
But now?
Could someone at the peak of the Path Unblocking Realm effortlessly suppress dozens of ultimate Twelfth Stage beings?
Moreover, these Twelfth Stage beings were protected by a defensive treasure of the peak Path Unblocking Realm.
If Lin Yuan was only at the peak of the Path Unblocking Realm, how could the nine peak powerhouses of Human Civilization feel that each of his casually condensed incarnations held almost the same power?
"Within the universe, I am at the peak of the Path Unblocking Realm," Lin Yuan replied truthfully.
Under the overall suppression of the universe, Lin Yuan's strength was limited to that of the peak of the Path Unblocking Realm.
"Peak of the Path Unblocking Realm?" Xu Shen, one of the powerhouses, blinked, finding it hard to believe that this realm was truly so formidable.
"What about outside the universe?" Xuanyuan, another powerhouse, suddenly asked.
Ever since Lin Yuan had first answered questions about his strength, he had always qualified it by saying "within the universe".
Xuanyuan hadn't thought much of it at first, but now, after witnessing Lin Yuan's terrifying power, he realized something was amiss.
"Outside the universe, I would be equivalent to the Dominion Realm, I suppose," Lin Yuan said.
His cultivation realm was indeed at the peak of the Path Unblocking Realm, but his accumulations in various other areas were unprecedented, making his overall combat strength no weaker than that of the Dominion Realm.
"Dominion Realm?!" Xuanyuan and the others' hearts lurched.
They had received some inheritances from the Chaotic Void and were well aware of the fearsome power of those in the Dominion Realm, a realm that completely surpassed the Path Unblocking Realm.
However, Lin Yuan's statement was highly plausible. If he didn't possess Dominion Realm strength, how could the incarnations he casually condensed exert such terrifying combat power?
"Dominion Realm? You've just entered the Twelfth Stage, and you're already at the Dominion Realm?" Xia Qin couldn't help but feel helpless.
Although they had long been aware that with Lin Yuan's talent and aptitude, he would surely surpass them once he reached the Twelfth Stage, they never expected it to happen so quickly.
It had only been a few days since he entered the Twelfth Stage!
"Galaxy Master Lin, what do you plan to do with those Twelfth Stage beings from the other races?" Gulli, one of the powerhouses, asked in a low voice.
"Let's keep them suppressed for now," Lin Yuan said nonchalantly.
These Twelfth Stage beings from the other races were now in his hands. Even if he couldn't deal with them yet, with his growth rate, it would only be a matter of time.
"Suppression is fine," Xuanyuan nodded.
If they really let these Twelfth Stage beings go, there would be hidden dangers. It was simplest to suppress them right now.
"What about the other races?" Xuanyuan asked.
All the Twelfth Stage beings from the other races had been suppressed by Lin Yuan. This universe could now be considered a backyard garden for Human Civilization.
Without their Twelfth Stage ancestors, even if Lin Yuan didn't take action, the peak races wouldn't be able to resist Human Civilization.
In fact, without any intervention from Human Civilization, those peak races would proactively surrender.
The powerful races outside the peak races, the ordinary races, and even the originally carefree and unconstrained ancient gods would do the same.
In the past, they could rely on the power of the twelve peak races to counterbalance each other and thereby gain some benefits for themselves. Now, however, with only Human Civilization left, those ancient gods wouldn't dare to remain indecisive. They would naturally choose to submit to Human Civilization without hesitation.
"As for them..." Lin Yuan pondered.
The powerful and ordinary races were constrained by the peak races and didn't have much autonomy, so Lin Yuan didn't plan to save them.
As for the ten peak races...
"The powerful races, the ordinary races, and the weak races will all be incorporated into Human Civilization. As for the peak races, they should also be integrated as much as possible. Directly kill all the Ninth Stage and above powerhouses from the peak races."
Lin Yuan's words were decisive.
Beings at the Ninth Stage and above had long lifespans, and letting such powerful beings live would leave hidden dangers.
Moreover, almost every Ninth Stage being from the other races on the battlefield had the blood of countless Human Civilization evolvers on their hands, so it was better to just finish them off.
As for those below the Ninth Stage from the peak races? They could be left alive, of course, with various measures put in place to restrict their growth at the genetic level.
The bloodlines capable of reaching the peak race level must be extraordinary, and Human Civilization might be able to draw some inspiration from them in the future.
"Understood."
Xuanyuan and the other eight powerhouses nodded, without a hint of pleading or sympathy.
The struggle between races was cruel, and if Galaxy Master Lin had come from one of the peak races instead of Human Civilization, the outcome for the latter would likely have been far worse. This universe might not even have a human race left in the future.
In a sense, Lin Yuan was being merciful by at least giving the peak races a chance to continue their bloodline and heritage.
And so, the united effort of the ten peak races, who had gathered all their strength to wage a desperate battle against Human Civilization, came to an end.
The remaining peak races chose to submit to Human Civilization one after another.
"Our race has defeated Human Civilization on the battlefield numerous times. Surrender? I refuse to surrender!"
"If you don't surrender, you will die. Choose one."
The only difference now was that they were ruled by Human Civilization and their daily lives were under surveillance, but at least they were allowed to live.
"Human Civilization will be the absolute ruler from now on for the foreseeable future." The Ancient God Si Zhong, accompanied by Ma Duo the Walker and other special life Ancient Gods, descended upon one of the main stars within Human Civilization's domain.
This particular star was designated for registering the countless special lives who had pledged their allegiance to Human Civilization, and the once-proud and powerful Ancient Gods now stood in line outside the planet.
Even the fully matured eleventh-stage Ancient Gods dared not cause trouble and obediently followed the rules set by Human Civilization.
"So, you're the Ancient God Si Zhong. The great Galaxy Master once said that if you came over, you would be directly granted the position of First-Class Guest Minister."
A Human Evolver looked at Si Zhong and began to speak.
"First-Class Guest Minister?"
Surprise flashed across Si Zhong's face.
Human Civilization categorized the powerful Ancient Gods who submitted into four tiers.
First, second, third, and fourth class.
Those Ancient Gods who had once stood against Human Civilization, regardless of their strength, were all classified as fourth-class guest ministers.
The fourth-class guest ministers held the lowest status and were tasked with guarding the secret realms of the frontier planets. They had to endure millions, tens of millions, or even billions of years and accumulate enough merit before they could qualify for promotion to the third-class guest minister rank.
And what of the third-class guest ministers? They were primarily comprised of the Ancient Gods from the Human Civilization Alliance.
The second-class guest ministers were Ancient Gods who had made contributions to Human Civilization, with their contributions limited to the period when the various peak races were still competing against each other.
As for the first-class guest ministers? This tier of Ancient Gods held a certain degree of sway within Human Civilization, faced minimal restrictions, and could even enjoy the many benefits that Human Civilization had to offer.
As a first-class guest minister, Si Zhong would likely live an even more comfortable life than before.
"Si Zhong, congratulations."
"Si Zhong, don't forget to pull some strings for us in the future."
The numerous powerful Ancient Gods looked at Si Zhong with envy.
"Hahaha, of course, of course."
A smile spread across Si Zhong's face, and he felt elated.
Initially, he had wondered if the Galaxy Master would even remember him, considering how he had bungled the task of contacting the Ancient God Tu Ba for the Galaxy Master.
But now it seemed that the Galaxy Master valued their relationship and had not forgotten his small act of assistance, rewarding him so generously.
"Old Ancestor, I'm a second-class guest minister too," Ma Duo, standing beside him, couldn't help but chime in.
Back in the Xuan Huang Secret Realm, Tian Yu Zu's undefeated ninth-stage Ancient God had once asked him to use causality to locate the Galaxy Master's position, but Ma Duo had refused.
Ma Duo had even thought that the Galaxy Master might not be aware of this incident.
"Galaxy Master."
Si Zhong's expression turned sentimental as he felt that the best decision he had ever made in his life was befriending the Galaxy Master.
Central Star Domain.
The heart of Human Civilization.
Lin Yuan stood alongside the nine Paramount Existences, including Xuan Yuan, gazing out into the vast starry sky of the universe.
"With so many powerful beings submitting, we'd be hard-pressed to handle them all if it weren't for the three goddesses," Xuan Yuan remarked.
Each of the top ten peak races had a size comparable to that of Human Civilization, and their collective submission was akin to Human Civilization suddenly consuming ten times its own volume in food.
On top of that, there were the powerful races, the weak races, and the special lives.
Fortunately, the three goddesses possessed terrifying computational powers, ensuring that everything proceeded smoothly and in an orderly fashion.
"By the way, Galaxy Master, your Evolution Tower is already constructed." Xuan Yuan brought up.
Ever since Lin Yuan had stepped into the twelfth stage, the nine Paramount Existences had been preparing to build the tenth Evolution Tower.
"Yes, it's located in the Central Star Domain of Human Civilization," Xia Qin confirmed.
Including Xuan Yuan's, the nine Evolution Towers of Human Civilization were situated at the edges of their domain, serving as a deterrent to hostile peak race forces.
But now?
Human Civilization no longer faced any opposition.
And this was all thanks to Lin Yuan, so it was only fitting that Lin Yuan's Evolution Tower be established in the center of Human Civilization, signifying it as the strongest Evolution Tower.
"Have you thought of a name for your Evolution Tower?" Yu Die asked with a smile.
"Let's call it the Martial Arts Evolution Tower," Lin Yuan replied.
The Evolution Towers were associated with the evolutionary paths taken by the Paramount Existences, so it was only natural for Lin Yuan's tower to be named accordingly.
"Good."
Xuan Yuan and the other eight Paramount Existences nodded in agreement.
"Galaxy Master, let's go and take a look at your Evolution Tower."
Xia Qin suggested with a smile, "We can get familiar with it, and it took quite an effort from Xuan Yuan and the others to build that tower."
"Hahaha, thank you."
Lin Yuan rose and joined the nine Paramount Existences as they made their way to the tenth Evolution Tower of Human Civilization.
