Chapter 580: Enlightenment
King Akamatsu eventually agreed, leaving Lin Yuan slightly surprised. The earlier remark of 'you sure know how to ask' implied that this request was indeed a difficult one to grant.
Lin Yuan had prepared himself for rejection and was ready to ask for something else.
Aside from enlightening himself on Class A War Machines, there were countless other treasures that Lin Yuan desired.
"Thank you, Your Highness," Lin Yuan said immediately, without any false modesty.
The opportunity to understand Class A War Machines was a rare occurrence.
If not for the war, Lin Yuan wouldn't even have the chance to see a War Machine, let alone try to comprehend it.
"Do you want to comprehend the Chaos Secret Patterns embedded in the War Machine?" King Akamatsu asked with great interest.
"Yes," Lin Yuan nodded.
There was no need to hide this fact.
Nor was it necessary.
The most precious aspect of the War Machines was the Chaos Secret Patterns inscribed on them.
It was through these patterns that the power rules of countless Dominators could be perfectly fused and then amplified.
Without the Chaos Secret Patterns, the value of the War Machines would be equivalent to that of some precious materials.
"The Chaos Secret Patterns are bestowed by the Ancestor and then replicated onto the War Machines by the strongest Heavenly Venerables of our Ancient Nation," King Akamatsu said with a sigh. "It's a good thing that you can comprehend the Chaos Secret Patterns."
"I'll just take a look," Lin Yuan said.
At the same time, he also learned the true origin of the Chaos Secret Patterns.
The Ancestor.
The founder of the Ancient Nation of Blazing Sun.
To be able to easily condense Secret Patterns containing the essence of Chaos Rules, their mastery over Chaos Rules was likely beyond the Triple Realm restriction.
Only those lofty and overlooking the Ancient Nation and even the Source World, the thirteen-step Ancestors, could have achieved this.
"However, you can only study the War Machine during this war. If the war ends, regardless of victory or defeat, all War Machines will be sent back to the capital," King Akamatsu reminded him.
Allowing Lin Yuan to comprehend the War Machine was already bending the rules, but King Akamatsu was willing to turn a blind eye.
However, if the war ended and the War Machines had to be recalled, King Akamatsu definitely wouldn't dare to withhold one for Lin Yuan's enlightenment.
"Of course," Lin Yuan nodded.
After that, King Akamatsu chatted with Lin Yuan casually.
The conversation mainly concerned Lin Yuan's future arrangements.
Since he had revealed the battle prowess of a veteran Grand Honor, Lin Yuan naturally needed to be stationed at a more important defensive area.
The Ding Seven defensive area was on the fringe, and it would be a waste to have a veteran Grand Honor stationed there.
Lin Yuan had no objections, and since he had revealed his strength here, King Akamatsu wouldn't assign him to face a peak Grand Honor.
A moment later, King Akamatsu finished chatting.
Qing Fen Hou then stood up and left with Lin Yuan.
The pavilion was now left with only King Akamatsu.
"Father."
At this moment, a young man stepped out from the depths of the void.
This young man bore a strong resemblance to King Akamatsu, and he watched the direction in which Lin Yuan and Qing Fen Hou had disappeared.
He couldn't help but say, "The War Machine is a treasure of our Ancient Nation.
"Even the lowest-ranked Class C War Machine has important Chaos Secret Patterns inscribed on it."
The young man was a bit puzzled. "Such an important item, and you're just letting Galaxy enlightenment it so simply? Just because he crushed Raigo Grand Honor?"
Crushing Raigo Grand Honor and holding the Ding Seven defense line was indeed meritorious, but it didn't warrant such a reward.
King Akamatsu looked at the young man, his favorite offspring, which was why he kept him by his side during the war.
"What do you think of Galaxy's strength?" King Akamatsu asked after a moment's thought.
"Galaxy Grand Honor's strength?" The young man paused slightly. "Veteran Grand Honor? Senior Grand Honor?"
"Wrong," King Akamatsu shook his head. "I think Galaxy has a weak foundation in Chaos Evolution and barely used that aspect of his power when facing Raigo Grand Honor."
"That's true," the young man said, deep in thought.
"Galaxy Grand Honor has just entered the Grand Honor realm, and his powerful battle prowess comes from the Blazing Sun Divine Body."
"With a newly attained Grand Honor status and the Blazing Sun Divine Body, he can unleash battle prowess close to that of a peak Grand Honor. This Galaxy Grand Honor likely has a high concentration of Blazing Sun bloodline."
While the Blazing Sun Divine Body was indeed the number one physique of the Ancient Nation of Blazing Sun, most Grand Honors had awakened this body, and none had shown such an exaggerated increase in battle prowess.
"I see," the young man said, understanding.
"Relying solely on the Blazing Sun Divine Body to possess such formidable power, if he were to break through in Chaos Evolution and reach the level of a Senior Grand Honor, wouldn't he be equivalent to a peak Grand Honor?"
"A smile appeared on King Akamatsu's face. Deploying a peak Grand Honor was no easy task.
Many peak Grand Honors were unwilling to engage in the conflict between the two ancient nations and directly refused the draft.
Now, all King Akamatsu had to do was turn a blind eye, and he would gain the service of another peak Grand Honor. This was an extremely profitable deal.
"As expected of Father's foresight."
The young man marveled inwardly.
By allowing Galaxy Grand Honor to comprehend the War Machine, they would gain another peak Grand Honor in their forces.
It was indeed a worthwhile exchange.
"What about the risks?"
King Akamatsu smiled. "The Chaos Secret Patterns on the War Machines are top secrets of our ancient nation. But the Chaos Secret Patterns can't be leaked so easily."
"Leaking the Chaos Secret Patterns requires one to thoroughly understand them first. But Galaxy is a newly advanced Grand Honor. What can he use to comprehend the Chaos Secret Patterns on the War Machine?"
Each War Machine had a 'self-destruct' Secret Pattern to prevent it from falling into enemy hands and being replicated to produce an identical War Machine.
But the term 'enemy' here referred to at least Heavenly Venerable-level experts.
The complete process of leaking the Chaos Secret Patterns involved the War Machine falling into enemy hands, the enemy presenting the War Machine to a Heavenly Venerable-level expert, and then the expert replicating and comprehending the patterns.
As for Lin Yuan? Having just entered the Grand Honor realm and lacking proficiency in Chaos Evolution, he wanted to study the Chaos Secret Patterns. However, he was still far from thoroughly understanding the complete Chaos Secret Patterns on a particular War Machine.
Moreover, Lin Yuan studied the War Machine under King Akamatsu's watchful eye, making it even more impossible for any leaks to occur.
Most importantly, Lin Yuan had awakened the Blazing Sun Divine Body, which meant he had no reason to betray the Blazing Sun Ancient Nation.
"Father's wisdom knows no bounds."
The young man was sincerely convinced. On the surface, it seemed that King Akamatsu had agreed to let Galaxy Grand Honor comprehend the Class A War Machine as a reward for defeating Raigo Grand Honor.
In reality, it was a carefully calculated move that almost entirely eliminated any potential risks.
"With Father's strategies, this war will undoubtedly end with the defeat of King Lingwei."
The young man spoke with certainty.
"It's still too early to talk about victory or defeat," King Akamatsu shook his head, a hint of worry in his tone. "I always feel that King Lingwei has many tricks up his sleeve."
Leaving the small city cave where King Akamatsu resided, Qing Fen Hou looked at Lin Yuan, his tone turning solemn. "Disciple, the fact that King Akamatsu agreed so readily means he must have seen something extraordinary in you."
Qing Fen Hou was well aware of the importance of the War Machines, especially the Class A ones. If there weren't significant benefits, King Akamatsu wouldn't have allowed Lin Yuan to comprehend them so easily.
By benefits, he didn't merely mean the absence of risk.
"But he probably only realized that you're not ordinary and definitely wouldn't have guessed that your bloodline concentration has reached the core royal level."
Qing Fen Hou spoke with certainty.
He deduced that Lin Yuan possessed the core royal bloodline because of his terrifying growth rate and the fact that he had not yet stepped into the Grand Honor realm.
Qing Fen Hou didn't know the full extent of Lin Yuan's background and could, at most, only guess based on the clues from Lin Yuan's usage of the Blazing Sun Divine Body. He wouldn't have directly assumed that Lin Yuan belonged to the core royalty.
"Mhm."
Lin Yuan listened quietly.
"There shouldn't be any problems," Qing Fen Hou mused. "King Akamatsu probably thinks that your royal bloodline is just a bit more concentrated. Given his personality, he probably won't even mention it to anyone."
Among the various kings of the Blazing Sun Ancient Nation, King Akamatsu was the one with the least ambition and the least interest in the internal power struggles within the royal family.
After parting ways with Qing Fen Hou, Lin Yuan was immediately reassigned from the Ding Seven defensive line to a battlefield closer to the core defensive line.
Of course, Lin Yuan left an incarnation at the original Ding Seven defensive line to study the War Machine there.
Since King Akamatsu had agreed to let Lin Yuan comprehend the Class A War Machine, the Class B and C War Machines were naturally at Lin Yuan's disposal as well.
"Is this the core defensive line battlefield?"
One of Lin Yuan's incarnations arrived at the core defensive line battlefield.
This area was shrouded in layers of killing formations, with countless War Machines deployed and the auras of peak Grand Honors rising and falling.
Lin Yuan's incarnation soon arrived in front of a Class A War Machine.
As it was a period of stalemate between the two sides, there were no clashes or battles, and the War Machines were all in a state of standby.
"Galaxy Grand Honor."
The controller of the Class A War Machine bowed slightly upon seeing Lin Yuan approach. "King Akamatsu has given the order. Galaxy Grand Honor may study this War Machine at any time."
Even if the controller of the Class A War Machine was still only at the peak Dominator level, they answered directly to King Akamatsu, and even peak Grand Honors couldn't give them orders.
Without King Akamatsu's permission, no one could approach the War Machines without a reason.
"Mhm."
Lin Yuan nodded and flew directly into the Class A War Machine.
"These Chaos Secret Patterns..." Lin Yuan was awe-struck as soon as he entered.
Compared to the highest-level Class B Mid-Tier War Machine he had encountered, the Chaos Secret Patterns within the Class A War Machine were not only more vast but also more 'complete'.
"Chaos is the source and beginning of all things."
Lin Yuan observed the War Machine's interior, which was adorned with Chaos Secret Patterns, his expression one of deep immersion.
Chaos Rules do not exist within any complete world, which is why they cannot be directly comprehended.
Chaos begets all things, and only by comprehending all things can one indirectly enhance their understanding of Chaos Rules.
However, the Chaos Secret Patterns before him were forcibly extracted from all things by a great existence, forcibly condensing the fundamental essence of Chaos Rules.
[Your comprehension ability defies heaven, and by observing unknown Secret Patterns, your understanding of Chaos Rules will be enhanced.]
Lin Yuan experienced a steady enhancement of his comprehension of Chaos Rules while observing the Chaos Signature Patterns inside the Class A Combat Mecha.
Lin Yuan created thirty-three incarnations, sending them to various defensive line battlefields to comprehend the War Machines.
Meanwhile, his true body remained at the Thirteen Ding defensive line battlefield.
As for his two primordial spirits, they had long left the battlefield, hiding in an extremely safe place.
"Hmm?"
"They're attacking again?"
The true body, located at the Thirteen Ding defensive line battlefield, was also studying the War Machine there when he sensed the change in the outside world's aura and immediately flew out.
"Grand Honor Chang Feng."
Lin Yuan looked towards a Grand Honor standing opposite him.
Chang Feng, a veteran and nearly peak-level Grand Honor, was why King Akamatsu had arranged for Lin Yuan to block this area.
"Grand Honor Galaxy."
Having witnessed Lin Yuan's battle with Raigo, Chang Feng naturally did not dare to underestimate him.
Rumble rumble.
Soon, the two of them clashed.
"This Chang Feng..."
Lin Yuan had expected a tough battle, but as soon as he crossed swords with Chang Feng, he found that the latter was only testing the waters and holding back.
Chang Feng did not display the same life-or-death attitude as Raigo had.
"Makes sense."
Upon further thought, Lin Yuan felt that this was normal.
Anyone who could cultivate to the Grand Honor realm, especially a veteran Grand Honor, would be extremely cautious about their life.
Aside from a few exceptions like Raigo, almost no Grand Honor would willingly risk their lives in battle.
Chang Feng was no exception, and Lin Yuan quietly cooperated.
After all, King Akamatsu's task for him was simply to block Chang Feng.
In the Chaotic Void...
"It seems that I need to thoroughly comprehend the 'Blazing Sun Creation' divine imprint and imprint it here before I can attempt to condense the Source of Blazing Sun and combine it with my internal universe."
Lin Yuan thought to himself.
The seventh type of physical divine ability, 'Blazing Sun Creation', also had the meaning of creating and stabilizing the world, so Lin Yuan wanted to try to form a stable Source of Blazing Sun within his internal universe.
"Continue cultivating the second layer of Infinite Void."
Lin Yuan resumed his cultivation of Infinite Void, an incredibly profound thirteen-stage legacy.
This legacy could push Lin Yuan's foundation to an unimaginable height.
Deep within his internal universe...
The little girl in red was sleeping soundly next to the gourd.
At this moment...
Lin Yuan condensed an incarnation and appeared not far away.
"Senior."
Lin Yuan called out.
"I've told you before, since you've passed the test, you are my master now, so there's no need to call me senior."
The little girl in red opened her eyes, and although she told Lin Yuan not to address her as senior, the joy on her face was evident.
"Alright."
"What do you want?"
The little girl in red asked.
"I want to ask if there have been any problems with my cultivation of the second layer of Infinite Void during this period."
Although Lin Yuan had a heaven-defying comprehension ability, Infinite Void was an incredibly profound thirteen-stage legacy, so he was afraid of straying off the right path. Thus, he would ask the little girl in red from time to time.
"Any problems?"
The little girl in red rolled her eyes. She had been observing Lin Yuan's cultivation of the second layer since the beginning, hoping to find any problems or hidden dangers.
She wanted to prove her worth.
However, the result was that she, the spirit of the gourd and the guide created by the great thirteen-stage time life specifically to guide future cultivators of Infinite Void, had been reduced to a mere spectator who couldn't even offer any suggestions.
