Chapter 675: The Six Ancient Nations, Below the Progenitors, I Speak of Fate
Lin Yuan was not a Thirteenth-Stage Time Being after all.
Even with the power of the Celestial Void Cauld, the future vision he saw was extremely fragmented.
Moreover, it lacked any clear cause and effect.
However, from that vision, one could deduce that his future self would likely have formed a great enmity with a certain special place.
To the point where he would forsake everything in the Chaotic Void to destroy the other party.
But now, with Lin Yuan’s strength, even if the spirits of the special place were to act, they could not do anything to him.
There was no reason for such enmity.
Especially not to the extent where he would give up everything to destroy the other party.
"Future."
Lin Yuan’s expression showed deep thought.
The future was ever-changing, and at every time node, countless future timelines would branch out.
The vision of the future he saw was merely one possibility, not a set future.
Furthermore, with Lin Yuan’s precautions, this future was unlikely to happen.
In the Source World, Liyang Kingdom.
Lin Yuan sat cross-legged, observing the constantly pulsating 'Abyss Dragon Heart' before him.
"Perfect, so perfect."
The more Lin Yuan observed, the more amazed he became. The power system and fundamental structure of the Abyss Dragon far exceeded his previous understanding of life.
At first, Lin Yuan thought the foundation of Aotic Void Cultivators must surely be stronger than this Source World. However, the Abyss Dragon’s greatest strength lay in its own foundation.
Every particle of the Abyss Dragon’s physical body contained a vast world, and the heart nurtured a miniature Source World.
With such a foundation and such depth, even the current Lin Yuan cultivating the Infinite Void might not necessarily surpass it.
"If I could ‘emulate’ the Abyss Dragon, opening a ‘universe’ within every particle of my own body, and then reconstruct it with the Infinite Void, then my strength..."
Lin Yuan’s heart raced.
Transitioning from the Twelfth to the Thirteenth Stage, the essence of life would undergo a significant leap, transforming into a Time Being.
However, even among Time Beings, there were strong and weak. The deeper the accumulation at the Twelfth Stage, the greater the strength gained upon transitioning to the Thirteenth Stage.
Why did the Grand Progenitor act so hastily against the Abyss Dragon right after crossing into the Thirteenth Stage?
Wasn’t it because delaying would allow the Abyss Dragon the possibility of crossing into the Thirteenth Stage?
And with the Abyss Dragon’s depth, once it crossed into the Thirteenth Stage, its strength would likely surpass the Grand Progenitor.
"Let’s try."
Lin Yuan continued to delve deeper into the observation of the Abyss Dragon’s heart.
In the Golden Mist Sacred Land.
Most of Lin Yuan’s mind was focused on comprehending the fundamental operations of the Source World.
The remaining part of his mind was attempting to organize his own causality.
"Ever since the Martial Dao evolution path spread throughout the Six Ancient Nations, my causality has become infinitely complex."
Lin Yuan thought to himself.
This was because every Martial Dao cultivator was equivalent to producing a causal connection with him, the progenitor of Martial Dao.
Even due to the evolutionary relationship, Lin Yuan could trace these causalities to observe the bits and pieces of every Martial Dao cultivator.
"The initial spread of Martial Dao requires taking in some Martial Dao-qualified disciples for cultivation."
Lin Yuan thought, this approach had two purposes. One was to better spread the Martial Dao, at least showing the sentient beings of this Source World that Lin Yuan was sincerely spreading the Martial Dao.
The second was to prepare for establishing the Seventh Ancient Nation in the future.
The establishment of an ancient nation would definitely require a large number of subordinates to manage.
Lin Yuan couldn’t possibly do everything himself, could he?
Compared to other progenitors with countless descendants, Lin Yuan’s rise was too swift, and he had no descendants yet. In such a situation, disciples could completely replace them.
The benefit of disciples was not limited to bloodline; he could absorb any talented spirit.
As long as they cultivated the Martial Dao, they were Lin Yuan’s disciples.
"Let me see."
Lin Yuan began to manipulate the causal lines, tracing the connections to observe the state of each Martial Dao cultivator, thereby judging their talent in Martial Dao cultivation.
"Hmm?"
Lin Yuan was soon surprised.
"Martial Dao Time Talent?"
Lin Yuan’s expression showed a hint of surprise. Martial Dao cultivation from the Second Stage onward required comprehending corresponding power.
For example, Lin Yuan comprehended the Yin-Yang Taiji power, which evolved into the current Yin-Yang Taiji Dao of Chaos.
At that moment, Lin Yuan discovered a cultivator with Martial Dao Time Talent.
If he continued down this path, he would eventually form a Martial Dao Time Primordial Spirit, further evolving into the Time Great Dao, with potential that was absolutely the greatest Martial Dao talent Lin Yuan had ever seen.
"Is it in Daling Ancient Country's Qianya Domain?"
Lin Yuan followed the causal resonance, determining the opponent's specific location, "Named Meng Shi?"
"Such a good Martial Dao seedling, I'll take him in."
Lin Yuan's heart stirred, and he condensed an avatar in Daling Ancient Country, heading towards Qianya Domain.
Daling Ancient Country, Qianya Domain.
A pale-faced young man was frantically fleeing, with several auras rapidly approaching from behind, clearly chasing him.
"Can't stay in Qianya Domain anymore, or I'll eventually be drained to death by Qianya King."
The young man gritted his teeth; Daling Ancient Country focused on cultivating life's 'pirit', so many of the country's strong practitioners generally liked to influence, control, or even absorb the 'Spirit' of sentient beings to nourish themselves.
The young man strongly disapproved of this cultivation method. In his view, every life was an independent entity, and their 'spirit' belonged to them. How could they be manipulated, controlled, and even absorbed at will?
"Not long ago, the cultivation techniques founded by the Galactic Venerable spread to the Thousand Teeth Realm. I cultivated for a bit, and it was quite suitable. Even if I leave the Thousand TeethRealm, the Ancient Spirit Kingdom, and abandon the Spirit cultivation lineage, I can still survive and continue to grow stronger."
The young man's thoughts raced. The ruler of the Thousand TeethRealm, the Thousand Teeth King, was a Venerable with terrifying strength, viewing the lives within the realm as sustenance. At regular intervals, he would select a batch of lives to be devoured and absorbed.
Of course, to ensure continuous development, the Thousand Teeth King would not completely devour the realm... Instead, he would only absorb a part, the young man realized that if he continued to stay, he would eventually be drained dry by the Thousand Teeth King.
"Run, run, run!"
The young man tried to speed up as much as possible. He had to escape in a short time.
If too much time passed, the number of pursuers would increase,, and even attract the attention of a Great Venerable.
The Thousand Teeth King had an extremely possessive nature towards the lives within his realm, not allowing any to escape. His subordinates, the Great Venerables, would dispatch several to guard, specifically to prevent those like the young man from escaping.
Just then, a figure silently appeared in the direction the young man was fleeing.
The young man's pupils constricted, trying to dodge, but found himself instantly immobilized.
"What is this?"
The young man felt a chill, immediately realizing the figure that appeared was beyond his capability to handle.
"Is this under the command of the Thousand TeethKing?"
The young man's mind trembled, directly planning to end his life. Those who tried to escape and were caught back would suffer unbearable torment.
"Don't panic."
Lin Yuan smiled, looking at the young man. "I don't know the Thousand TeethKing."
Before coming, Lin Yuan had already known about the Thousand TeethRealm. The entire Ancient Spirit Kingdom was like this, due to the 'spirit' relationship, the Ancient Spirit Kingdom was extremely strict.
The weak had to offer their 'spirits' to the strong, who would then offer to the stronger, and so on.Ultimately, the ruling clan of the Ancient Spirit Kingdom would be the ultimate beneficiary.
This unique cultivation system was also why the Ancient Spirit Kingdom was the second most powerful among the Six Ancient Kingdoms, only after the Great Foe Ancient Kingdom.
Lin Yuan did not approve of this cultivation system, but he wasn't overly opposed to it either. It was just a cultivation method.
"Don't know the Thousand TeethKing?"
The young man sighed in relief.
That was good.
"You're called Meng Shi?"
Lin Yuan looked at the young man, casually asking.
"How do you know?"
Meng Shi was slightly taken aback, quite curious.
"I know because I wanted to know." Lin Yuan smiled.
"Yes."
Meng Shi, though unable to understand, nodded obediently.
He now realized that the Lin Yuan before him was likely a passing strong cultivator, probably not a cultivator of the Ancient Spirit Kingdom.
"Alright, let's get to the point." Lin Yuan looked at the young man, confirmed the martial cultivation time talent on his body, and directly said, "I plan to take you as my disciple. What do you think?"
"Take me as a disciple?"
Meng Shi was slightly stunned.
"What? Unwilling?"
Lin Yuan asked.
"Of course, I'm willing."
Meng Shi immediately nodded.
He was certain that Lin Yuan was a far superior cultivator. Being taken as a disciple by such an existence was definitely a great fortune.
But...
"Senior, I won't hide from you."
Meng Shi said, "Taking me as a disciple would likely bring you trouble. I have been chosen by the Thousand TeethKing, and every period I must offer my 'spirit.' I refused, which is why I escaped."
Meng Shi looked at Lin Yuan, "Now I am being hunted by his subordinates. Taking me as a disciple would be equivalent to offending the Thousand TeethKing, who is a Great Venerable. Offending him..."
Meng Shi had considered agreeing to Lin Yuan's offer and following him to escape the Thousand TeethRealm.
But this way, if discovered, it would definitely involve Lin Yuan. Meng Shi did not want to do this.
"Hmm."
Lin Yuan nodded and continued, "You just need to answer whether you're willing or not."
"Senior, I am definitely willing, but this is the Thousand TeethRealm, the Ancient Spirit Kingdom, and the Thousand TeethKing is the one who commands all. Taking me as a disciple, I am deeply grateful, but the consequences would be severe."
Meng Shi's tone became urgent, sensing the pursuers quickly approaching.
"Senior, the Ancient Spirit Kingdom is different from other ancient kingdoms, with great restrictions on us. This is the rule of the Ancient Spirit Kingdom. Senior, you should leave quickly." Meng Shi finished, intending to change direction and flee.
But he found himself still immobilized, looking at Lin Yuan in confusion. "Senior?"
"Rules?"
Lin Yuan looked in the direction of the Ancient Spirit Kingdom, pausing for a moment, and smiled, "In the Six Ancient Kingdoms, under the Ancestors, I have the final say."
"I say I can."
"So I can."
Lin Yuan finished, raised his right hand, and with a light pull, the Thousand TeethKing, who was far in Thousand Teeth City, instantly appeared before him.
Lin Yuan glanced at the Thousand TeethKing, whose face showed terror, and said, "What do you think?"
