Chapter 364: Lin Yuan's Strike (Extra Update, Monthly Ticket Request at the Beginning of the Month)

Inside the black gate was a vast expanse of space.

"Jiezhi Spatial Domain?" Lin Yuan observed cautiously, constantly scanning his surroundings.

The black planet wasn't large, yet it contained such a vast space within the gate. Lin Yuan didn't find it strange; it was merely a deep application of spatial rules.

"The suppression in this space is incredibly strong." Lin Yuan marveled inwardly.

The immense suppression surpassed even that of the Xuanhuang Secret Realm. Lin Yuan couldn't even merge with the spatial layers at this moment.

"There."

Lin Yuan looked ahead. There was a small path made of black stones. Apart from this path, everything else was white.

"Only walking along this black stone path is safe," Lin Yuan's eyebrows twitched. Looking at the white area, he felt a certain fear, while the narrow black stone path brought some sense of security.

"Hmm?"

"I can't go back?"

Lin Yuan turned his head.

He found that the door behind him had already disappeared.

Now, there was only one way for Lin Yuan.

That was to continue moving forward.

"Well."

"At most, I'll lose this Elemental Spirit."

"It's not unacceptable."

After pondering for a while, Lin Yuan walked directly along the black stone path.

Regarding this black planet, Lin Yuan had informed the Goddess of Wisdom long ago, so the three goddesses should have known about it.

With the three goddesses aware, ultimate existences like Xia Qin should also be aware.

In this case, if Xia Qin hadn't specifically informed him, it indicated that this black planet shouldn't pose a significant danger.

Half an hour passed in the blink of an eye.

"Hmm?"

"I sense fluctuations in other rules, rapidly becoming blurred, only the rules of life and death are becoming clearer?" Lin Yuan noticed the changes around him.

"Rules of life and death? Is this world related to the Rule of Reincarnation?"

Various speculations surged in Lin Yuan's mind, but they were just speculations. To truly understand, he had to continue moving forward.

Xia You Evolution Tower.

Xia Qin, the Ultimate Existence, seemed to sense something and looked up slightly, gazing at a certain area.

If Lin Yuan were present, he would have noticed that the area Xia Qin was looking at was the region where the black planet was located.

"That little guy went in," Xia Qin smiled.

Buzz.

A figure quickly condensed beside him, it was the Ultimate Existence, Yudie.

"That inherited star probably originated from the omission back then. Even after so many years, we haven't found it. I didn't expect that little guy to find it so easily. It's luck," Yudie smiled faintly.

The aura of the black planet was completely hidden. Even Ultimate Existences couldn't detect it without getting close enough.

Otherwise, with the perception of Ultimate Existences, they could see through millions and millions of light-years at a glance. It wouldn't take too long to search the entire universe.

Divine objects conceal themselves; some treasures, if not approached, can't be detected at all. Even if certain types of treasures are approached, if they don't meet the standards, abnormalities won't be detected.

For example, Lin Yuan's mysterious gourd. If Lin Yuan hadn't coincidentally mastered the bodily divine ability 'Blood Rebirth,' he probably wouldn't have understood its purpose by now.

"In the Inherited Star, there are various paths of pillar-level fusion rules. Only Tier Ten life forms can enter. If that little guy can pass through three or four, he'll probably step into Tier Eleven," Xia Qin said.

"Pass through three or four?" Yudie pondered for a moment.

Ordinary Tier Ten evolvers only need to pass through one to step into Tier Eleven, but considering Lin Yuan's past remarkable deeds, passing through three or four isn't without opportunity.

"I just don't know how many layers of fusion rule paths are contained within this Inherited Star," Xia Qin muttered softly.

According to the highest secrets mastered by human civilization, these inherited stars from outside the universe also have distinctions in height.

The higher the number of layers of fusion rule paths contained, the more precious it naturally is, but it's also harder to pass through.

Of course, to understand the ultimate layers, one must successfully pass through a fusion rule path.

Without passing through, even Ultimate Existences couldn't know.

Ultimate Existences have the means to destroy the black planet, but once these types of inherited stars sense an unstoppable threat, they will self-destruct.

Inside the black gate.

In the vast expanse of space, Lin Yuan stepped forward along a path paved with black stones.

After an unknown amount of time passed, Lin Yuan arrived at a black altar.

"Here."

Lin Yuan halted, carefully sensing his surroundings.

Here, he couldn't perceive any other rule fluctuations at all.

Only the rules of life and death became incredibly clear.

The inability to sense rule fluctuations meant the inability to harness the power of rules.

For example, Lin Yuan's fusion rule of "Space Dissolution" was formed by merging spatial rules with the rules of gold.

But in this world, the power of such fusion rules would be greatly weakened because he couldn't sense spatial rules or the rules of gold at all.

He could only rely on the fusion rule of "Space Dissolution" that he mastered.

"But where should I go now?"

Lin Yuan surveyed the altar in front of him.

After cautiously waiting for a while and noticing no changes, he stepped onto the altar.

The moment Lin Yuan stepped onto the altar, the entire structure began to tremble slightly.

Hum.

A large amount of black light quickly converged, forming a figure of an ancient-looking man in a black robe.

"Who are you?"

Lin Yuan looked at the black-robed man, his expression slightly serious.

"Hello."

"I am the Spirit of the Altar, and I need to conduct some tests on you next."

"As long as you can pass, you can obtain the ultimate reward of this fusion rule path."

The black-robed man spoke calmly, looking at Lin Yuan slowly.

"Spirit of the Altar?"

Lin Yuan quickly understood the black-robed man's 'positioning.'

Similar to the humanoid stone statue Shenji in the Magic Jade Space and the six-armed figure in the Xuanhuang Secret Realm.

"May I ask, what is the ultimate reward?" Lin Yuan immediately asked.

"You'll know once you go in," the black-robed man shook his head, "Only those who pass the test can know what the ultimate reward is. But I can give you a hint: the ultimate reward is related to the Rule of Reincarnation."

"I see."

Lin Yuan's expression suddenly dawned, but he felt quite speechless.

Naturally, he could deduce that the ultimate reward was related to the Rule of Reincarnation.

Could it be that behind this path, which can only be entered by comprehending the Rule of Reincarnation, the ultimate reward would be something related to the Rule of Great Destruction?

"What is the test?" Lin Yuan asked again.

"The test is your mastery of the Rule of Reincarnation," the black-robed man spoke briefly.

"I believe you should have already sensed it. In the current world, there are only fluctuations of the rules of life and death, and no other rules can be perceived."

The black-robed man said.

"Yes."

Lin Yuan nodded.

Simply put, the strongest rule Lin Yuan could currently use was the Rule of Reincarnation.

"Now."

The man in the black robe waved his hand, and dozens of black stone walls descended and stood not far away.

The black stone walls were arranged from front to back.

"The Rule of Reincarnation is a rule of slaughter. Testing this rule is based on the level of destruction it causes."

"Now, activate your Rule of Reincarnation with all your strength, attack the black stone walls. The more walls you penetrate, the more likely you are to pass the test."

The black-robed man spoke directly without any nonsense.

"With all my strength?" Lin Yuan asked for clarification.

"Yes."

"With all your strength."

"Let me see the limit of your destructive power."

The black-robed man glanced at Lin Yuan, seeming puzzled by the question.

"Don't worry, judging from your aura of the Rule of Reincarnation, you've just recently mastered it."

"In this case, even if you fully activate the Rule of Reincarnation, the power unleashed won't be enough to penetrate the first black stone wall, let alone pierce through."

The black-robed man patiently explained.

Although he had predicted the extent of the destruction caused by Lin Yuan's ultimate activation of the Rule of Reincarnation, it was still just an estimation. The actual power, such as how much of the first black stone wall could be penetrated, still needed Lin Yuan to verify by himself.

"Okay."

Lin Yuan nodded.

Since comprehending the Rule of Reincarnation, he had never used it at full strength.

Even in the Xuanhuang Secret Realm, he stopped once he realized the impact of this fusion rule on the realm.

"Let's begin."

After the black-robed man finished speaking, he fell silent.

Using a thread of the Rule of Reincarnation within him, Lin Yuan opened the outer gate and stepped in. Now, he had a rough assessment of the Rule of Reincarnation he comprehended.

"Reincarnation."

Lin Yuan raised his right hand, extending his index finger solemnly towards the nearby black stone walls.

Initially, the black-robed man remained expressionless. But then, his expression suddenly changed dramatically, looking incredulously at the slight finger movement from Lin Yuan.

"This?"

The black-robed man's pupils contracted sharply.

In the next moment, the power of reincarnation pierced through billions of layers of space in an instant, tearing open a hole. Each black stone wall was effortlessly shattered. After the hole crushed all the black stone walls, it continued to spread rapidly towards the distance, piercing through the entire world, continuing to penetrate deeper.

Even so, the area pierced by the hole, filled with the power of reincarnation, kept distorting, everything within it collapsing.

In the Xiaoyou Evolution Tower.

As Xia Qin's strongest and Butterfly's casual observation of the black planet continued, Xia Qin's expression changed.

Then, after carefully observing the black planet millions of light-years away for a moment, Xia Qin narrowed his eyes and said:

"Butterfly."

"Have you noticed that inheritance star?"

"It seems to have trembled?"

Ps: This chapter is an extra update.

Seeking so

Chapter 365: Exaggerated Accumulation Speed of Boundary Breaking Source Power (Seeking Subscriptions)

"Trembled?" 

Butterfly, the strongest, was surprised. These inheritance stars are divided into three types.

The Ninth-order Spatial Inheritance Star, the Tenth-order Fusion Rule Inheritance Star, and the Eleventh-order Fusion Rule Inheritance Star.

And the black planet belongs to the Tenth-order Fusion Rule Inheritance Star, allowing only Tenth-order life to enter.

In addition to comprehending the corresponding pillar-level fusion rules, there is also an implicit requirement at the level of life. Higher-level Eleventh-order life, and lower-level Ninth-order life, do not meet the criteria.

With the "weight" of the Tenth-order Fusion Rule Inheritance Star, even if it were outside, even an Eleventh-order powerhouse wouldn't be able to budge it.

What if it's inside? Attacks at the Eleventh-order level might have an impact, but this raises a paradox.

That is, the Tenth-order Fusion Rule Inheritance Star does not allow Eleventh-order life to enter.

Eleventh-order life can't enter, and Tenth-order life is too far behind Eleventh-order life.

Furthermore, within the inheritance space of the inheritance star, where other rule fluctuations are suppressed, only corresponding fusion rules are allowed to operate, external forces, treasures, and other means are all useless—

As a result, every inheritance star is extremely stable and won't change due to external forces.

So Xia Qin, the strongest, was somewhat surprised.

"Let me see."

Butterfly, the strongest, had a slight thought.

A figure then descended outside the black planet.

At the same time.

With the black planet at the center, the time in the area of tens of millions of miles suddenly began to "flow backward".

As if the scene that was originally playing at "normal speed" suddenly began to "rewind".

Time rewound.

Any life that comprehended the rules of time could perform such a secret technique.

However, even for Lin Yuan, the area where time was rewound would be at most tens or hundreds of miles.

Any more would be a bit overwhelming. And the area of time rewound by Butterfly, the strongest, was directly millions of miles in radius.

And this was just a trivial incarnation of Butterfly, the strongest. As long as it was within the territory of human civilization, under the coverage of the virtual network, there would be as many incarnations of Butterfly, the strongest, as needed.

"It did indeed tremble."

Butterfly, the strongest, nodded slightly. Through time rewinding, she also discovered that the black planet had experienced a slight tremor.

"Why is this?"

Xia Qin, the strongest, was somewhat surprised.

In fact, there could be only two possibilities.

First, there might have been a problem or accident in the operation of the black planet itself.

Second, a powerhouse in the inheritance space of the black planet unleashed an Eleventh-order attack, exceeding the internal limit of the black planet, which caused the scene just now.

Let's not talk about the first possibility for now.

The second possibility? Currently, there is only Lin Yuan in the inheritance space of the black planet.

In other words, if it's this possibility, the one who unleashed the Eleventh-order attack would be Lin Yuan.

But how is that possible?

If the gap between the Eighth and Ninth orders is considered one, then the gap between the Ninth and Tenth orders is a hundred, and the gap between the Tenth and Eleventh orders is ten thousand or even a hundred thousand.

Crossing levels to fight?

When it's at the Third, Fourth, or Fifth order, it might be achievable with various factors such as bloodline physique and mastered secret techniques.

But as the realm gets higher, the probability of such occurrences becomes lower, until it's completely impossible.

Both of the strongest knew that when Lin Yuan broke through to the Tenth order, he received a huge benefit from enduring the infusion of the vast chaos void source.

But no matter how great the benefit, it couldn't change the fact that Lin Yuan is a Tenth-order life.

Perhaps with Lin Yuan's talent, coupled with enduring so much infusion of the chaos void source, he might have a chance to raise his attack limit to the Eleventh-order threshold by reaching the peak of the Tenth order.

But how long has it been?

Normal evolutionists who have just entered the Tenth order are still not completely familiar with the power surge in themselves, and Lin Yuan's attack limit has reached the Eleventh-order threshold already?

"This little guy." Butterfly, the strongest, shook her head slightly.

Since they started paying attention to Lin Yuan, the frequency of their surprise has almost equaled the sum of millions or even tens of millions of years in the past.

The history of human civilization in the starry sea spans only over two million years, but before that, there were long years of dormancy.

Xia Qin, the strongest, and Butterfly, the strongest, are naturally far more than just over two million years old. They were born before the long years of dormancy.

Inside the black planet.

In the vast world.

The man in the black robe looked blankly at the terrifying scene caused by Lin Yuan's blow.

The power of reincarnation, emitting strands of terrifying aura, continuously spread outward through the hole, even distorting and annihilating the space under this slight force.

"Is this the Rule of Reincarnation that was just comprehended?"

The man in the black robe remained silent for a long time. "At least it's comparable to the Rule of Reincarnation in the Second or even Third Realm."

The man in the black robe's gaze shifted and looked at Lin Yuan, who had just struck, while countless scenes kept replaying in his mind.

As the spirit of the altar, he had absolute control over this space.

The Rule of Reincarnation that Lin Yuan was operating was indeed just comprehended, and it was only in the early stages of the First Realm.

Whether it's a new rule fused after ordinary rules or a new rule fused after pillar-level rules, it's divided into realms from the First to the Ninth based on the level of comprehension.

For a Tenth-order evolutionist to break through to the Eleventh order, the threshold is to comprehend at least one pillar-level fusion rule and cultivate this pillar-level fusion rule to the Second Realm.

The comprehension of rules itself is extremely difficult, let alone fused rules?

If comprehending the original rules of the universe, one just needs to quietly comprehend the fluctuations of the rules.

It's equivalent to having a direction for the future path, although it's difficult, at least one can see the end.

But fused rules? Fused rules are rules that powerful beings fuse together according to their own comprehension and the characteristics of different rules.

In the cultivation of fusion rules, each realm is vastly different.

"Why does the Rule of Reincarnation in the first realm have such great power?" The man in the black robe observed Lin Yuan carefully.

"Without relying on any external forces, nor wielding any secret treasures, is it the strength of the self? The physical body and blood far exceed that of a normal Tenth-order life."

The man in the black robe vaguely realized something.

The test of this world does not allow the use of any external forces.

But what constitutes external forces here? Referring to weapons, secret treasures, or even higher-level trump cards, and so on.

As for one's own strength, such as physical body, soul, mind, and willpower, does it count as external forces?

According to the initial rules of the black planet, it does not count as external forces.

Although Lin Yuan's operation of the Rule of Reincarnation was just comprehended not long ago, and was in the early stage of the first realm, his own foundation is just too powerful.

Just like wielding the same blade with a force of a hundred pounds.

Versus wielding it with a force of a hundred tons.

The resulting power is obviously different.

And here, the "blade" refers to the Rule of Reincarnation.

The level of comprehension of the Rule of Reincarnation does indeed affect the power of this fusion rule.

But it also depends on the strength of the one mastering this rule.

"Senior, have I passed the test?" Lin Yuan struck with full force, then looked towards the man in the black robe standing not far away, asking.

The man in the black robe told him not to hold back, so Lin Yuan naturally didn't. That strike was entirely full-force, with the vast power of the inner world, physical body, blood, soul, and the third-stage cultivation of "Mystical Yellow Strike" all poured into it.

As for the supernatural power "strengthening"? Lin Yuan didn't use it. If he did, it wouldn't be a full-force strike but a desperate one.

"According to the rules, you naturally passed the test," the man in the black robe said expressionlessly.

Originally, the test set by the black planet was that as long as Lin Yuan possessed the pinnacle power of the first realm of the Rule of Reincarnation, he could pass.

This is basically the pinnacle achievable by a Tenth-order life.

As for the second realm of the Rule of Reincarnation? Cultivating a pillar-level fusion rule to the second realm would quickly propel one into the Eleventh order.

Although Lin Yuan's Rule of Reincarnation is only in the early stages of the first realm in terms of comprehension, its power threshold has even reached that of the third realm.

"That's good then." A smile appeared on Lin Yuan's face.

The test inside the black planet wasn't too troublesome; he just needed to strike.

"Passing through that door leads to the ultimate reward of this path," the man in the black robe said after looking at Lin Yuan for a while.

Not far away.

A black door appeared at some point.

Compared to the twelve doors outside, this black door was only five meters tall, quite small.

"However, let me remind you."

"Any life only has one chance to enter this door. If you come out midway, even if you pass the test again, you won't be able to enter."

The man in the black robe reminded.

"I wonder if there are any dangers inside the door?" Lin Yuan asked tentatively upon hearing this.

"No danger." The man in the black robe shook his head. Although he didn't know what was inside the door, there really wasn't any danger.

"Is strength needed inside the door?" Lin Yuan continued to inquire.

"Since you have already passed the test, there is no need for another test." The man in the black robe replied.

"Can I send an incarnation in?" Lin Yuan pondered for a moment before asking.

Unlike avatars, incarnations are different. Incarnations are a manifestation of cosmic power converged by a strand of soul and willpower.

Their strength is far lower than that of their main body.

The man in the black robe reminded him that once he enters the door, if he comes out midway, he won't be able to go back in, so Lin Yuan naturally needed to be cautious.

"You can." The man in the black robe nodded.

"Okay." Lin Yuan's mind moved slightly.

A phantom figure coalesced in front of him.

After exchanging glances with Lin Yuan, it stepped into the black door.

"Where is this?" After experiencing a brief darkness, Lin Yuan's incarnation, like a fish leaping out of the water, finally arrived at its destination.

This was a space several square kilometers in size.

Half of it was filled with fluctuations of the rules of life, and the other half with fluctuations of death rules.

The two rules interchanged and merged with each other.

The end of life is death, and the end of death is life.

The cycle of life and death knows no bounds.

"Is this the guidance path of the fusion rule?" Lin Yuan's heart surged with waves.

Unlike the inherent rules of the universe, fusion rules don't have such a clear direction.

The comprehension of fusion rules mainly depends on oneself.

But nothing is absolute.

If someone who has reached the seventh realm of comprehension in fusion rules is willing to 'peel off' their comprehension of this fusion rule, it can be made into such a guidance path.

However, even the seventh realm of fusion rules? Even if it's just the fusion of ordinary rules, the seventh realm is the limit of an Eleventh-order life.

If it's the seventh realm of a pillar-level fusion rule, then it's a realm that only the strongest can step into.

The Rule of Reincarnation before Lin Yuan is a pillar-level rule. In other words, the guidance path of the Rule of Reincarnation formed now originates from the detachment of comprehension of this fusion rule by some powerful being.

This detachment is permanent, and even for a powerhouse, it is quite a cost.

"The guidance path of the Rule of Reincarnation has reached the fourth realm." After pondering for a moment, Lin Yuan concluded.

The guidance path of the fourth realm means that Lin Yuan can obtain specific guidance from the first to the fourth realm while comprehending the Rule of Reincarnation.

And depending on the degree of detachment of comprehension of fusion rules by the strongest, the final formed guidance path will also be different.

Just having a guidance path up to the second realm doesn't have much of an impact on the strongest. They can continue to comprehend for thousands of years to retrain it.

If it's a guidance path up to the third realm, it has a significant impact on the strongest, requiring at least tens of thousands of years to make up for it.

The guidance path of the fourth realm is already the limit that the strongest can compensate for. If it's a guidance path of the fifth realm, the detached strongest can basically give up this fusion rule.

"What is the origin of this black planet that even caused a powerhouse to pay such a price?" Lin Yuan thought to himself.

No, it's not.

Not just one powerhouse.

Perhaps twelve powerhouses.

Because there are twelve black doors on the black planet.

Each black door corresponds to a different pillar-level fusion rule, like the guidance path of the Rule of Reincarnation Lin Yuan is currently seeing, at the fourth realm.

The final rewards behind the other eleven black doors are probably similar.

"I don't care."

"I'll start comprehending first."

Lin Yuan focused his thoughts and immediately began observing the rules of life and death around him.

[Your comprehension is heaven-defying. Observing the essence of the fusion of the rules of life and death greatly enhances your comprehension of the Rule of Reincarnation.]

Just after a moment of comprehension, Lin Yuan felt the previous bottleneck dissipate. At this moment, the Rule of Reincarnation seemed like it was in simple mode for him.

"At my current rate of comprehension, I can elevate the Rule of Reincarnation to the second realm in at most fifty years."

Lin Yuan's eyes lit up.

Fifty years?

For a Tenth-order Evolver, fifty years pass in the blink of an eye.

Tenth-order Evolvers who want to cultivate to the peak of the Tenth order and comprehend pillar-level fusion rules, who knows how many tens of thousands of years they'll spend, and finally elevate the pillar-level fusion rule to the second realm. This bottleneck has trapped many Tenth-order Evolvers.

The former Deputy Tower Master Nalan was stuck here, and even senior A-ranked Tenth-order Evolvers like the Lord of the Black Star and the Master of the Luminous Star were also stuck here.

Even with Lin Yuan's heaven-defying comprehension, it would probably take hundreds of years for him to elevate the Rule of Reincarnation to the second realm.

But now, it only takes fifty years?

In other words, as long as Lin Yuan is willing, he can attempt to break through to the Eleventh order in fifty years.

"What a great opportunity." Lin Yuan's spirit was uplifted.

The formation of this fusion rule guidance path involves powerhouse-level beings. At least up to now, Lin Yuan has only heard of it but never seen it.

Perhaps there are similar opportunities within human civilization, but there's definitely a queue.

Take the black planet, for example. Inside one black door, only one life can be accommodated at a time.

For example, Lin Yuan's incarnation is currently comprehending the guidance path of the Rule of Reincarnation. Even if other Tenth-order Evolvers pass the test behind the door of the Rule of Reincarnation, they have to wait until Lin Yuan finishes comprehending before they can go in.

Galactic Main Star.

A smile appeared on Lin Yuan's face.

"Fortunately, I sent my incarnation in."

"Otherwise, if it were my avatar, I would probably be stuck there for a long time."

Lin Yuan was in a good mood. Even with a complete guidance path, it would still take quite some time to elevate the Rule of Reincarnation to the fourth realm.

If the one entering that door was his Lunar Avatar, Lin Yuan estimated that he would be unable to use this source of spiritual power for a very long time in the future.

After all, once he comes out during the comprehension of the fusion rule guidance path, he won't be able to continue inside, a price Lin Yuan finds hard to accept.

"Now, the incarnation is comprehending the Rule of Reincarnation there."

"The two major divine spirits can still be used, which is the best result."

After some thought, Lin Yuan took out the mysterious gourd and inverted the mouth, condensing a drop of purple liquid.

Since stepping into the Tenth order, enduring a large amount of chaos and void source infusion, Lin Yuan's physical body and inner world have both skyrocketed several levels.

As a result, the absorption of the purple liquid inside the mysterious gourd is also rapidly increasing.

It probably won't be long before he completely absorbs the purple liquid. By then, the intuitive size of Lin Yuan's inner world will reach an unprecedented 2.33 billion square kilometers.

"Hmm?"

"The Solar Divine Spirit has already reached the permanent spatial crack below?" 

While absorbing the purple liquid, Lin Yuan suddenly had a thought and looked towards the large-scale alien battlefield.

Alien Battlefield A098.

Near the central northern region, a thousand-mile-wide permanent spatial crack stretches across it.

Just then.

A figure appeared silently.

"A permanent spatial crack?" Lin Yuan looked up at the thousand-mile-wide crack in the sky.

Occasionally, grayish airflows floated in, emitting waves that made Lin Yuan's spirit tremble.

Different from the permanent spatial cracks on small and medium-sized alien battlefields, the ones on large-scale alien battlefields, due to the extensive torn area, can already allow certain things from outside the universe to squeeze in.

For example, the body of a powerhouse that floated in over a hundred years ago.

Over the long years, many 'things' have floated in through the permanent spatial cracks on large battlefields, but the vast majority of them are extremely dangerous.

For example, in the records of human civilization, during the dormant period, a large-scale battlefield opened by the Insect Race and the Sky Feather Race, a strange life floated in through the permanent spatial crack.

This strange life almost brought irreversible disaster to the universe and stars. In the end, more than ten powerhouses had to join forces to barely banish that strange life back outside the universe.

There are many such examples. Basically, out of ten 'things' that float in from the permanent spatial cracks, nine will cause varying degrees of disasters.

"I need to be extra careful on large-scale alien battlefields."

"Besides facing those alien powerhouses, I also need to be vigilant about the changes in the permanent spatial cracks."

Lin Yuan's face turned serious.

Then, a smile appeared on his face.

Because after arriving at this thousand-mile-wide permanent spatial crack.

Lin Yuan has already felt the accumulation speed of the source power nearing exaggeration.

Because after arriving at this thousand-mile permanent spatial crack, Lin Yuan had already felt the almost exaggerated speed at which Boundary Breaking Source Power was accumulating.

### Chapter 366: The Transformation of the Mysterious Gourd

**Request for Subscription**

Without any external enhancement, the natural operation of the Gate of All Realms accrues the power to break barriers at a pace of one strand every three hundred and thirty-three days.

The permanent spatial fissure on the designated B0001 alien battlefield increased this accumulation rate to one strand every one hundred and fifty days.

However, currently—

Lin Yuan distinctly perceived a further escalation in the absorption rate of this barrier-breaking power.

It had reached an unprecedented level of one strand every ninety days.

In practical terms, this meant that for every ninety days that passed in the main world, one strand of barrier-breaking power could be accumulated.

Annually, this resulted in four strands; over a decade, forty strands; and over a century, four hundred strands.

"I now possess over two hundred strands of barrier-breaking power. If I remain in this large alien battlefield for a while, wouldn't it be easy to exceed a thousand strands?"

Lin Yuan felt a sense of elation.

The barrier-breaking power was crucial to the operation of the Gate of All Realms; the more, the better.

"I will undertake the tenth traversal once my strength encounters a bottleneck." Lin Yuan's consciousness delved deep into his mind, gazing at the majestic and grandiose Gate of All Realms.

Currently, Lin Yuan had just entered the tenth tier and was in the black planet comprehending and integrating the rules' guidance. His strength was at its fastest growth phase.

Traversing now would be somewhat wasteful.

Wherever one trained, the process was the same; for Lin Yuan, there was no significant difference between traversing worlds and staying in the main world.

"Continue training," Lin Yuan closed his eyes.

The increase in the barrier-breaking power's accumulation rate only required Lin Yuan to stay under the permanent spatial fissure.

There was no mental demand, allowing Lin Yuan to focus on comprehending the secret rules.

**Galactic Main Star**

Lin Yuan was deep in training and enlightenment.

Suddenly.

"The Supreme Xia Qin is seeking me?" Lin Yuan projected a sliver of consciousness, connecting to the virtual world and entering the Supreme Xia Qin's personal domain.

"Supreme." Lin Yuan slightly bowed.

Supreme Xia Qin had assisted him multiple times, and it was entirely appropriate to maintain respect when facing a twelfth-tier ultimate being.

"Lin Yuan," Supreme Xia Qin looked at Lin Yuan with a smile and asked, "Have you seen the guidance road of integration rules through the test of the Star of Inheritance?"

"Star of Inheritance?" Lin Yuan immediately understood that the "Star of Inheritance" referred to the black planet.

It was not surprising to Lin Yuan that Supreme Xia Qin knew of the black planet's existence. If the three goddesses were aware, it was reasonable that Supreme Xia Qin would be as well.

Lin Yuan had uploaded information about the black planet to the Goddess of Wisdom, so he had anticipated this day.

"Yes, I have seen it."

"I am currently comprehending it," Lin Yuan answered truthfully.

Through the intelligence provided by the Goddess of Wisdom regarding the black planet, it was not difficult for Lin Yuan to infer that human civilization had also mastered a similar Star of Inheritance.

"How is it?"

"How many levels of the guidance road of integration rules have you reached?" Supreme Xia Qin asked with mild curiosity.

"The fourth level," Lin Yuan replied directly.

"The fourth level of the guidance road?" Supreme Xia Qin looked surprised.

Initially, he had assumed that it was only the second or third level of the guidance road, which was why the Goddess of Wisdom had ultimately assigned a merit value of five billion.

But the fourth level? This implied that the black planet's value was ten to a hundred times greater than five billion.

"You have an extraordinary stroke of luck."

Supreme Xia Qin couldn't help but praise.

Finding a Star of Inheritance worth tens of billions or even hundreds of billions in merit points by mere happenstance was remarkable.

Lin Yuan nodded in agreement.

Indeed.

Over more than a hundred years, he had undertaken nine traversals, pioneering the path of martial evolution, and had accumulated several billion merit points in total.

It was not even a fraction of the true value of the black planet.

This was the nature of opportunity; most evolutionists were passionate about venturing out precisely because a single crucial opportunity could significantly boost one's foundation.

Naturally.

No matter how great the opportunity, it must be built upon one's own strength.

If the person who discovered the black planet wasn't Lin Yuan, but an ordinary human citizen, they would never have been able to negotiate fairly with human civilization.

It is because Lin Yuan is the strongest genius in human civilization's history that he qualifies for such negotiations.

"What do you plan to do with this Inheritance Star?" Xia Qin, the supreme expert, asked.

"Please advise, Supreme Expert," Lin Yuan replied immediately.

"My suggestion is to lease it out," Xia Qin said with a smile. "The fusion rules guidance path of four levels will drive our tenth-level evolvers crazy. They would be willing to pay a high price to enter and comprehend it."

Xia Qin's suggestion was made without any personal interest, purely from Lin Yuan's perspective, to maximize benefits.

The twelve gates on the black planet could be entered at most twelve times by Lin Yuan. After that, the black planet wouldn't be destroyed. Leasing it out to generate more benefits would be the best choice.

"What do you think the 'rental fee' should be?" Lin Yuan was not opposed to leasing the black planet. It mainly depended on whether the price was satisfactory to him.

"One billion," Xia Qin said calmly.

"One billion?" Lin Yuan was slightly stunned.

"One billion merit points for the chance to enter and comprehend once," Xia Qin explained.

"One billion merit points?" Lin Yuan took a deep breath. He was wondering whether Xia Qin's 'one billion' referred to cosmic currency or something else. It turned out to be merit points?

Human civilization's merit points are one of the most valuable currencies in the cosmic void, even above cosmic crystals. They can purchase many restricted resources within human civilization.

Charging one billion merit points for a single comprehension session seemed a bit exorbitant to Lin Yuan.

"One billion merit points for one comprehension session is not high," Xia Qin explained. "You have to understand, the guidance path within that Inheritance Star reaches four levels."

"Every evolver who enters will only leave after elevating their fusion rules to the four-level stage."

"This will take a lot of time, and the final reward is a four-level fusion rule. This is not weak even at the eleventh level."

"Yes," Lin Yuan nodded.

Even so, the black planet had twelve black gates, theoretically accommodating twelve evolvers simultaneously. Each entry at one billion merit points meant twelve billion merit points in total.

This vast amount of merit points could easily elevate an ordinary citizen to the rank of a ninth-level citizen.

And this was just the first round of 'rent'.

When this batch of evolvers finished comprehending, the next batch's rental fees would come in again, wouldn't they?

"But Supreme Expert, I want to wait until I reach the eleventh level before leasing it out," Lin Yuan thought and said.

Though the rental income was tempting, Lin Yuan equally valued his own improvement.

Even if other evolvers had access to the black planet, their limited energy would allow them to comprehend one or two rules at most. But Lin Yuan, with his extraordinary perception, could fully comprehend all twelve pillar-level fusion rules.

During this period, Lin Yuan wouldn't let other evolvers in to comprehend. Otherwise, if he wanted to comprehend a fusion rule guidance path that another was using, he would have to wait for them to finish.

"No problem," Xia Qin said nonchalantly.

What's the big deal?

In Xia Qin's view, with Lin Yuan's aptitude, reaching the eleventh level wouldn't take long.

Moreover, suggesting Lin Yuan lease the black planet would also enhance the overall strength of human civilization.

Each additional evolver with a four-level fusion rule would enhance the overall foundation of human civilization.

And Lin Yuan would gain substantial benefits.

It was a win-win situation.

After leaving Xia Qin's personal space, Lin Yuan disconnected from the virtual world and sat in the main hall of the Star Lord on the Galactic Main Star.

"Twelve billion merit points?"

Lin Yuan was overjoyed.

Once he comprehended all twelve fusion rule guidance paths in the black planet, he could lease out the twelve opportunities for comprehension.

At that time, twelve billion merit points would flow in.

Even if he hadn't yet developed the tenth-rank martial arts chapter, he could still steadily rise to the status of a ninth-level citizen.

"But, having reached the tenth rank for such a long time, which rare treasure should I choose?" Lin Yuan's thoughts shifted, feeling a bit conflicted.

The rare treasures referred to the rewards available after passing the fifth level of the black tower in the Jade Space.

Early on, at the ninth rank, Lin Yuan comprehended the time rule and took the time to pass the fifth level of the black tower.

After all, passing the fifth level at the ninth rank is completely different from passing it at the tenth or eleventh rank.

The rewards for passing the nine levels of the black tower also depend on the potential of the challenger.

Passing the fifth level at the ninth rank indicates immense potential, hence the final reward list provided by the humanoid statue Shen Ji left Lin Yuan hesitant until now.

There are five rare treasures on the reward list.

Lin Yuan can only choose one from these five.

These five rare treasures, by the standards of the main universe, are all twelve-star treasures.

They correspond to the level of supreme beings' treasures.

The Eternal Spring that Lin Yuan once soaked in was a twelve-star treasure.

Because of this, Lin Yuan had not made a decision.

Since the reward was there, delaying the choice had no real impact.

"I'll wait a bit longer."

Lin Yuan pondered for a moment, deciding not to rush.

After further cultivation and understanding his needs better, he could make the most beneficial choice.

Six months later.

In the inner world.

Lin Yuan looked down.

At this moment, the edge of the inner world began expanding again.

The inner world's size had reached 233 million miles in circumference.

This is the maximum size it could achieve after fully absorbing the seven types of liquid from the mysterious gourd.

Indeed.

Just now.

Lin Yuan had fully absorbed that drop of purple liquid.

"I can feel that the inner world has now reached some kind of limit," Lin Yuan thought silently.

Soon after, Lin Yuan's consciousness left the inner world and returned to the external world.

He then looked solemnly at the gray-purple gourd in front of him.

Now that he had absorbed all seven types of liquid, what would happen next with this mysterious gourd?

Thinking of this, Lin Yuan grasped the gourd with his right hand.

As Lin Yuan's body came into contact with the gourd, it seemed to sense his changes.

Streams of information poured out from the gourd, exploding in Lin Yuan's mind.

(End of this chapter)

### Chapter 367: The Aurora from Beyond the Universe (Subscribe for More)

The gray-purple gourd trembled.

Information streamed into Lin Yuan's mind.

"So, after absorbing the seven types of liquid, there's more to it."

Lin Yuan rubbed his forehead; the gray-purple gourd didn't convey much information.

In summary:

There is an eighth type of liquid after the seventh purple liquid.

However, to condense this eighth liquid, certain requirements for the physical body and the internal space must be met.

These requirements are that the physical body must reach the twelfth-tier level, and the internal space must transform into an internal universe.

Only with such a physical body and internal space can the enhancement of the eighth liquid be sustained.

"Twelfth-tier level?"

"Internal universe?"

Lin Yuan was amazed. Only supreme beings likely met these two conditions.

From the extensive intelligence of the Xuanhuang lineage, using various external secret methods and specific fusion rules, there was a slight hope of elevating the physical body of an eleventh-tier life form to the threshold of the twelfth tier.

But an internal universe? This is something that could only be formed during the ultimate leap, an extreme sublimation.

Even Lin Yuan's current internal world fell far short of the minimum standards for an internal universe.

Even with another infusion of primal chaos void origin, causing the internal world's foundation to surge several levels, it still wouldn't compare to an internal universe.

The internal universe of a supreme being is the source of their power, their reliance outside the river of time, akin to a weakened version of the main universe.

"What is the origin of this gourd?"

Lin Yuan gazed solemnly at the gray-purple gourd floating before him.

Although he didn't know what the eighth type of liquid would do within an internal universe, judging by the effects of the first seven types on Lin Yuan's internal world, it could easily be inferred that even a supreme being would undergo some transformation.

And this was incredible.

The level of a supreme being is so high that certain treasures and rare items, which have immense benefits for tenth-tier and eleventh-tier beings, are essentially useless to them.

Let alone causing a transformation.

Lin Yuan had never heard of a treasure that could cause a transformation in a supreme being.

"I must keep this gourd safe," Lin Yuan thought, collecting his thoughts.

Lin Yuan initially believed that the mysterious gourd only had effects on beings below the twelfth tier. Even so, its value far exceeded that of the Eternal Spring.

But now?

Even a supreme being could gain a transformation from it.

The value of the mysterious gourd was immeasurable.

"Keep it safe?"

"Where?"

Lin Yuan focused his mind, communicated with the Xuanhuang Secret Realm, and placed the mysterious gourd into a space ring, then sent it to the deepest part of the Xuanhuang Secret Realm.

Although Lin Yuan's true self was stationed at the main star of the Milky Way, within the human civilization territory and under the gaze of the supreme beings, it wasn't foolproof.

For example, if several ultimate alien beings joined forces, they might kill Lin Yuan before the supreme beings of human civilization could react and seize the mysterious gourd.

Of course, this was unlikely. Ultimate beings at such a level would not join forces to deal with a mere tenth-tier being.

Moreover, with the existence of the Town God Pearl, alien ultimate beings couldn't completely kill Lin Yuan.

But there was still that possibility.

Lin Yuan had to be cautious.

Placing the mysterious gourd in the Xuanhuang Secret Realm was nearly foolproof.

At least, since the appearance of the Xuanhuang Secret Realm, no supreme being had ever entered it.

Keeping the mysterious gourd in the Xuanhuang Secret Realm was much safer than having it with Lin Yuan.

Although it would be slightly more troublesome to use it in the future, Lin Yuan didn't mind.

#### Black Planet

In the space of the reincarnation rule guidance path.

One of Lin Yuan's avatars sat there, continuously observing the alternation and fusion of life and death.

With each second, Lin Yuan gained new insights into the reincarnation rule. His extraordinary comprehension combined with the guidance path allowed his progress in this fusion rule to soar.

"Wonderful, wonderful."

"I never thought life and death could combine in this way."

Lin Yuan was immersed in it, with inspirations constantly emerging in his mind.

For a normal tenth-tier being, gaining insights into a pillar-level fusion rule requires immense effort and experience.

But for Lin Yuan now, it had almost become 'routine.'

"Life is not merely life."

"Death is not merely death."

The more Lin Yuan comprehended, the deeper his understanding of these two rules and the reincarnation rule became.

The life rule and death rule, when considered individually, aren't very powerful pillar rules.

But their fusion, unleashing the power of reincarnation, becomes one of the most formidable among various fusion rules.

#### Alien Battlefield A076

Compared to the large alien battlefield where Lin Yuan was, this large alien battlefield had a higher intensity of war, gathering the peak races of human civilization, the Tianyu Clan, the Yama Clan, and the Insect Clan.

The entire battlefield was like a meat grinder, with eighth and ninth-tier experts dying daily.

Even tenth-tier experts, unless they reached the A-level, could easily fall in the heat of battle.

Of course, the experts who dared to enter the large alien battlefield mostly only sent their avatars. However, the loss of an avatar still significantly impacted the true self.

Elevating an avatar to near the strength of the true self requires resources almost equivalent to those of the true self.

A tenth-tier expert losing an avatar might take thousands or tens of thousands of years to recover.

A gray fog slowly dissipated from a thousand-mile-long permanent spatial rift in the center of Battlefield A076.

The depths of the permanent spatial rift were filled with gray fog.

This was the chaotic void, which nurtured countless universes.

And far away from this permanent spatial rift, a radiant aurora of seven colors swiftly traversed through.

Wherever the aurora passed, all the gray fog evaporated completely.

Buzz.

### Chapter 367: The Aurora from Beyond the Universe

Buzz.

In just a few breaths, the dazzling seven-colored aurora pierced into the permanent spatial rift.

On Battlefield A076, numerous powerful beings were engaged in fierce combat. Even top-tier tenth and eleventh-level beings occasionally participated, tipping the scales of local skirmishes.

At this moment, a radiant aurora shot out from the permanent spatial rift high above the battlefield.

Boom.

The aurora tore through everything, and the previously stable space of the large battlefield became as fragile as thin paper. The battlefield itself also seemed exceedingly weak.

"Ahhh!"

"What is this?"

On the battlefield, many eleventh-level beings disintegrated into dust before they could react.

In an instant, the Battlefield A076, spanning hundreds to thousands of light-years in diameter, collapsed rapidly. Countless lives, including eleventh-level powerhouses, were annihilated.

Moreover, an invisible wave spread from each deceased life form, radiating across the universe.

"This...?"

"That aurora?"

Around the battlefield, towering figures appeared, gazing solemnly at the shattered large alien battlefield and the undiminished, dazzling aurora.

"Stop it."

More than a dozen towering figures swiftly took action, spreading power that transcended time and space, ultimately containing the aurora.

"This aurora carries a causal curse power. Every life extinguished by the aurora will suffer a corresponding causal curse."

"Life forms below the tenth tier won't be able to withstand it."

"Is this another method from an ancient relic?"

These towering figures, all supreme beings, exchanged a few words and then began to study the aurora.

Over the long years, various anomalies often surged from the permanent spatial rift, such as the supreme being's body from over a century ago and the aurora just now.

Both had clearly reached the twelfth-tier level, especially the aurora, whose residual power remained terrifying after traversing infinite distances.

The incident at Battlefield A076 quickly spread throughout the various races of the universe.

"What?"

"A large alien battlefield has vanished?"

Lin Yuan blinked, looking at Deputy Tower Master Nalan.

Each large alien battlefield spans hundreds of light-years in diameter. Even in the vast cosmic void, they are colossal entities.

How could it simply disappear?

"Supposedly, it was destroyed by an aurora from beyond the universe," Deputy Tower Master Nalan said in amazement.

Typically, large alien battlefields are personally forged by supreme beings and are very difficult to destroy.

Even battles between supreme beings usually only shatter parts of the battlefield, as they try to avoid extensive damage.

"An aurora from beyond the universe?" Lin Yuan raised an eyebrow.

"Yes," Deputy Tower Master Nalan confirmed. "An aurora from beyond the universe shattered the entire large alien battlefield. If not for the intervention of supreme beings, its remaining power would have caused even more widespread destruction."

This matter was no secret, and it had already spread wildly among all races in the cosmic void.

"Terrifying."

Lin Yuan fell silent for a moment.

He had long known that the dangers on large alien battlefields extended far beyond the aliens themselves.

The many perils of the chaotic void outside the permanent spatial rift also threatened all the warriors on the battlefield.

"What happened to the aurora now?" Lin Yuan couldn't help but ask.

"Unclear," Deputy Tower Master Nalan shook his head. "It probably fell into the hands of the supreme beings."

"The aurora carried a causal curse power. All eighth and ninth-tier beings who perished under it, including their true selves, were completely destroyed. Over a million eighth and ninth-tier beings of our human civilization have perished."

Deputy Tower Master Nalan added.

"Causal curse power..." Lin Yuan's expression turned grave.

Such a widespread curse power capable of annihilating eighth and ninth-tier beings was a burden even for supreme beings.

"Hence, the resurrection date for our human civilization should be advanced," Deputy Tower Master Nalan stated.

According to past patterns, the next resurrection by supreme beings was supposed to be in two thousand years.

However, due to the collapse of a large alien battlefield and the resulting surge in the number of fallen human civilization evolvers, the resurrection list for the next two millennia had suddenly been filled.

Under such circumstances, supreme beings would usually act to advance the resurrection date.

"The resurrection date will be advanced?"

Lin Yuan nodded slightly. He wasn't entirely ignorant of this.

The resurrection by supreme beings isn't determined by time intervals.

Instead, it depends on the number of deceased beings, that is, the number of evolvers on the resurrection list.

Once the resurrection list reaches a certain number, the supreme beings will act to perform a unified resurrection.

#### Virtual World of Supreme Being Xia Qin

"Supreme Being."

Lin Yuan's figure appeared and he slightly bowed to Xia Qin, who was seated on the throne.

"How are things?"

### "How is Your Comprehension of the Fusion Rules within the Inheritance Star?" 

Supreme Being Xia Qin asked with a smile.

"Not bad," Lin Yuan nodded. With the guidance of the fusion rules and his own extraordinary comprehension, his understanding of the rules of life and death and reincarnation progressed rapidly.

"I have a matter to discuss," Lin Yuan hesitated for a moment before speaking.

"Oh? What is it?" Xia Qin's expression remained unchanged, but he was actually quite pleased. He preferred Lin Yuan to have requests rather than being indifferent.

"I heard the resurrection date will be moved up," Lin Yuan inquired.

"Yes," Xia Qin nodded. "The next resurrection will be in one year."

With the resurrection list filled, the sooner the resurrection, the better. For an ultimate existence, reversing the flow of time incurs a fixed cost. Whether resurrecting one life or ten thousand, the cost is the same. The backlash they endure later depends on the strength and number of the resurrected lives.

"I have a friend who just entered the sixth tier and isn't on the resurrection list," Lin Yuan said.

There are two ways to get on the resurrection list. One is having extremely remarkable talent and aptitude. Such evolvers, if they die unexpectedly, will be placed on the list by the Goddess of Wisdom. The second way is for those who fall in battle. Every evolver who fights on the battlefield does so for humanity, and those who die to aliens are usually resurrected by their supreme beings. 

Of course, whether the first or the second way, resurrected evolvers need to bear part of the 'cost'. But compared to the chance to live again, this cost is insignificant.

"Do you want me to include your friend in the resurrection?" Xia Qin asked.

"Yes," Lin Yuan nodded.

Previously, Fang Qing's spirit and will were taken by the ancient god Tuoba as leverage against Lin Yuan. But Lin Yuan refused to be threatened and preemptively cursed and killed that part of Fang Qing's spirit. Though seemingly ruthless, this gave Fang Qing the best chance of survival. If Lin Yuan hadn't acted, Fang Qing's memories would have been corrupted, making resurrection impossible. However, Fang Qing's talent and aptitude didn't meet the resurrection criteria, so Lin Yuan had to personally ask the supreme being for a favor.

"No problem. Just send me the citizen number of the person to be resurrected," Xia Qin replied indifferently.

For an ultimate existence, resurrecting a sixth-tier evolver is a simple matter, especially when done alongside many others.

"Thank you, Supreme Being," Lin Yuan said solemnly. What seemed effortless for a supreme being was unimaginable for anyone below them.

A year later, at the Xia You Evolution Tower, Lin Yuan, along with numerous tenth and eleventh-tier evolvers, stood on either side. Each time a supreme being performed a resurrection, many high-tier evolvers observed. The manipulation of time and space rules during the process was beneficial for those studying these rules.

"Galactic Lord, this is your first time witnessing a supreme being perform a resurrection, right?" Deputy Tower Master Nalan asked Lin Yuan quietly.

"Yes," Lin Yuan nodded. Given the rate at which human civilization's evolvers fall in battle, it takes about ten thousand to fifty thousand years to fill a resurrection list, meaning a supreme being resurrects once every ten thousand to fifty thousand years.

"Watch closely," Nalan advised quickly. "A supreme being reversing time causes parts of the time stream to manifest. Observing this will help in understanding time rules."

"Understood," Lin Yuan replied. He had actually seen the full view of the time stream before, though he wouldn't mention this to Nalan.

Soon, under the watchful eyes of all the evolvers, Xia Qin's form appeared silently. Though he emitted no aura, his mere presence made the cosmic rules retreat. Supreme beings possess internal universes with complete rules, transcending the main cosmic void.

"Supreme Being," Lin Yuan thought, seeing Xia Qin's true form in the universe for the first time. Previously, he had been brought out of the time stream by a supreme being, but that was only a part of his spirit.

"It's starting," Nalan whispered.

Having witnessed many resurrections, Nalan was experienced. As soon as he spoke, intense time and space fluctuations surged. A vast, illusory river appeared before Xia Qin. Lin Yuan felt the immense time rules, though not as overwhelming as when he saw the entire time stream, it was still far more powerful than normal comprehension.

Xia Qin continuously moved upstream along the time stream, reaching fixed points and pulling out amber-like figures from the illusory river. Each time, thousands to tens of thousands of amber figures were retrieved. At the same time, the invisible backlash from the universe and the time stream targeted Xia Qin, but he withstood it all.

Only the resurrection of large numbers of eleventh-tier beings, or extremely special ones, could significantly impact a supreme being.

"The time stream," Lin Yuan thought. "Except for ultimate existences, everything resides within the time stream."

Though beings below the twelfth tier exist in the time stream, their forms within it vary by strength.

When Lin Yuan first comprehended the time rules as a ninth-tier evolver, his form in the time stream was as small as a particle.

"But now I've been at the tenth tier for a while," Lin Yuan mused, feeling his form in the time stream and its size within the vast river.

(End of Chapter)

### Chapter 368: Fifty Years (Request for Subscription)

The River of Time flowed majestically, from the distant past to the endless future. 

In this vast river, lives at the tenth tier were barely comparable to small fish or shrimp, only slightly stronger than "quarks." Those at the eleventh tier could be considered big fish. Some exceptionally special eleventh-tier beings appeared as colossal creatures in the River of Time, covering a significant portion of the riverbed.

"Am I now considered a big fish?" Lin Yuan examined himself. Though he was only a tenth-tier life form, his foundation was extraordinarily strong. Reflected in the River of Time, he was not inferior to those eleventh-tier beings.

"I wonder what my form in the River of Time will be like when I reach the eleventh tier, or even the peak of the eleventh tier?" Lin Yuan pondered silently.

The forms of all beings in the River of Time are determined solely by their essence, unaffected by external forces. As Lin Yuan felt the intense fluctuations of the time rules and examined himself, Supreme Being Xia Qin had already retrieved all the evolvers on the resurrection list.

These evolvers, upon returning to the current time and space, immediately began to synchronize their memories up to the moment of their death. The River of Time is vast and endless, even a tributary contains countless lives. Therefore, a supreme being must lock onto a life's imprint to serve as a "beacon" for resurrection. Without this imprint, even a supreme being could not precisely locate the desired life in the vast River of Time.

Supreme beings transcend the River of Time but do not control it.

"Where is this?"

"Am I resurrected?"

"I remember fighting the Prison Race stronghold in War Zone A076, then suddenly I died..."

Numerous resurrected evolvers first showed confusion in their eyes, then clarity. In human civilization, it was no secret that supreme beings had resurrection capabilities. Moreover, most resurrected evolvers knew they might be resurrected by a supreme being.

After completing the resurrection task, Supreme Being Xia Qin glanced at the resurrected evolvers and vanished. Soon, evolvers from the Xia You Evolution Tower approached to guide the newly resurrected.

Many of these evolvers had died tens of thousands of years ago and needed time to adjust to the current era.

"I… I am resurrected too?" Among the resurrected evolvers, different groups formed based on their strength. Sixth-tier evolvers were in one group, seventh-tier in another, eighth-tier in another, and ninth-tier in yet another.

As a newly minted sixth-tier evolver, Fang Qing naturally joined the sixth-tier group. Around him were other resurrected sixth-tier evolvers.

"I'm an evolver on the Ancient God Path; technically, I shouldn't have been resurrected," Fang Qing thought, puzzled. Many of the surrounding sixth-tier evolvers were geniuses known across entire star regions. As for himself, though he reached the sixth tier in just a few hundred years, he followed the Ancient God Path, which is akin to a shortcut. Unlike other normal evolution paths, the Ancient God Path requires no particular aptitude or comprehension, only similarity to the corresponding Ancient God.

Human civilization does not heavily invest resources in evolvers on the Ancient God Path and does not typically allocate resurrection slots to them. Therefore, Fang Qing was puzzled as to why he was resurrected.

At this moment, a figure appeared beside him.

"Lord of the Stars," Fang Qing looked over, immediately perking up and speaking respectfully.

"Good," Lin Yuan responded. "How does it feel to be resurrected?"

"Lord of the Stars," Fang Qing looked over, immediately perking up and speaking respectfully.

"Good," Lin Yuan responded. "How does it feel to be resurrected?"

"I don't know, it just feels like I had a long dream," Fang Qing said honestly.

"Lord of the Stars, I was resurrected because..." Fang Qing couldn't help but ask.

"I pleaded with the supreme being to have you added to the resurrection list," Lin Yuan answered.

"The resurrection list can't be altered..." Fang Qing was shocked. As far as he knew, every life on the resurrection list was repeatedly evaluated by the Three Goddesses before being handed over to the supreme being for resurrection. During this process, no one could change their judgment, which was an iron rule of human civilization. But Lin Yuan managed to add him to the resurrection list?

What Fang Qing didn't know was that Lin Yuan had bypassed the Three Goddesses altogether and went directly to Supreme Being Xia Qin. For the ultimate existence leading the resurrection, resurrecting an additional sixth-tier evolver was just a matter of thought—a trivial task.

"Thank you, Lord of the Stars." Fang Qing took a deep breath. Although he didn't know what method Lin Yuan used to get him on the resurrection list, he believed it must have come at a great cost. His life now was essentially a gift from Lin Yuan.

"No need to thank me yet. Next, I will help cleanse your body of the traces of your original evolution path," Lin Yuan said with a wave of his hand.

Although Fang Qing had been resurrected, he still followed the Ancient God Evolution Path. As long as Tuo Ba Ancient God wished, he could still seize Fang Qing's mind and will at any time. What Lin Yuan intended to do was to completely erase the traces of Fang Qing's cultivation in the Ancient God Evolution Path, thus severing any ties with Tuo Ba Ancient God.

"Please proceed, Lord of the Stars," Fang Qing said without hesitation.

In his last memory, his cultivation path suddenly began to riot, taking his mind and will to an unknown area. Thinking back, it must have been the influence of the Ancient God Evolution Path.

Under Lin Yuan's intervention, the traces of the Ancient God Evolution Path on Fang Qing were swiftly cleansed. This was feasible because Fang Qing was only at the initial sixth tier, and Lin Yuan's powerful strength, comparable to an ordinary eleventh-tier evolver, made it easy to eliminate the influence of the Ancient God Evolution Path.

Deep in the cosmic void, Tuo Ba Ancient God's thoughts stirred, looking in the direction of human civilization.

"Has the friend of the Lord of the Milky Way been resurrected?" Tuo Ba Ancient God thought silently.

Just moments ago, he sensed the aura of the Lord of the Milky Way's friend. However, it quickly disappeared, likely because the traces of the Ancient God Evolution Path were erased.

Tuo Ba Ancient God was not surprised and had no intention of intervening. Firstly, it was too soon to act again. Human civilization's supreme being had just resurrected the friend of the Lord of the Milky Way, and was probably still nearby. Even if he acted, he couldn't escape the supreme being's watchful eye. Secondly, it was meaningless. After the Lord of the Milky Way had cursed and killed his friend's mind and will directly, Tuo Ba Ancient God realized that the Lord of the Milky Way would not be threatened. Even if he seized Fang Qing's mind and will again, what would it achieve? The Lord of the Milky Way would simply curse and kill it again. If the curse failed, the Lord of the Milky Way would not bow down, but would instead deepen human civilization's hostility toward him.

"Hmm? The Zerg have invited me to Battlefield A098?"

Tuo Ba Ancient God frowned slightly. As a special lifeform at the peak of the eleventh tier, he often received invitations from peak races and alliances to assist in large-scale battles against alien races. Typically, Tuo Ba Ancient God declined such invitations, as he preferred not to get involved in the conflicts between peak races.

However, after realizing that he had thoroughly offended the Lord of the Milky Way, Tuo Ba Ancient God began to value his relationships with other peak races, particularly the Zerg. The Zerg were already mortal enemies of human civilization. By opposing human civilization, if he also ignored the Zerg, his future options would become very limited.

"Forget it. I'll go this time," Tuo Ba Ancient God decided.

On the Galactic Main Star, Lin Yuan sat cross-legged.

"Death rule... Destruction rule..."

"Great Destruction Rule?"

Lin Yuan had merged the death and destruction rules, forming the Great Destruction Rule. The Great Destruction Rule was a purely offensive rule, even more so than the life and death cycle rule. It was one of the pillar-level fusion rules that excelled in destructive power.

In the years since he had reached the tenth tier, besides comprehending the life and death cycle rule, Lin Yuan had also been studying the fusion of other pillar-level rules. The Great Destruction Rule was the result of this effort.

"The Great Destruction Rule... one of the twelve gates on the black planet corresponds to this rule," Lin Yuan thought. His lunar primordial spirit immediately left and descended to the black planet.

"Great Destruction," Lin Yuan stood before the gate symbolizing the Great Destruction Rule. He then activated the aura of the Great Destruction Rule, pushed open the gate, and walked inside.

Soon, he arrived at an altar similar to the one for the life and death cycle rule.

"You again?" A black mist coalesced into a man in a black robe, who glanced at Lin Yuan and shook his head slightly.

"Senior," Lin Yuan greeted the man respectfully.

"When will the test begin?" Lin Yuan got straight to the point, not wanting to waste any time.

"Test?" The man in the black robe fell silent. He could sense that Lin Yuan had only recently comprehended the Great Destruction Rule. However, remembering the previous test for the life and death cycle rule, the black-robed man knew that the tests set by the black planet were almost meaningless in front of Lin Yuan.

"Forget it. Just go in," the black-robed man said, waving his right hand to reveal a black gate five meters high.

Rather than have Lin Yuan exert his full power again and shake the internal structure of the black planet, it was better to let him quickly enter and comprehend the rule.

"Thank you, senior," Lin Yuan said, not hesitating. He immediately formed an avatar and entered the black gate.

Inside was a space only a few square miles in size, but it was filled with the endless aura of the Great Destruction Rule.

"Great Destruction," Lin Yuan observed the changes in the aura of the Great Destruction Rule. With his extraordinary comprehension ability, profound insights and inspirations continuously flooded his mind.

In this way, Lin Yuan's two avatars rapidly comprehended both the life and death cycle rule and the Great Destruction Rule. Meanwhile, his true self, along with his solar and lunar primordial spirits, studied and practiced other rules and secret arts.

In the blink of an eye, fifty years had passed.

Chapter 369: The First Fusion Rule of Dual-tiered Realm (Subscribe)

The black planet.

The life and death cycle rule guided the space.

The cycle of life and death seemed endless, with no apparent end.

Lin Yuan sat cross-legged, deeply immersed in comprehension. Compared to directly comprehending the original rules of life and death in the universe, at this moment, the constant intertwining and fusion of the rules of life and death in front of him made Lin Yuan feel as if he were directly viewing the "standard answer".

Every moment, his understanding of the life and death cycle rule was improving.

"The life rule is filled with endless vitality, while the death rule is permeated with boundless death energy. The most essential point of the life and death cycle rule formed by their fusion lies in the word 'cycle'."

Lin Yuan raised his right hand, where the same rules of life and death intertwined in his palm.

"So, to construct a stable cycle model of the life and death cycle rule, it's necessary to allow the rules of life and death to transform and intertwine freely."

Lin Yuan attempted to decipher the life and death cycle rule in the manner of the rules model of human civilization. Even the most basic five-element rule varied from person to person, and fusion rules were even more so. The resulting fusion rule differed depending on the slightly different rules of the two parties involved.

"A stable and perfect cycle model!"

The rules of life and death in front of Lin Yuan continued to change, eventually forming a structure resembling a dark vortex, faintly beginning to influence time and space.

Lin Yuan remained oblivious, still immersed in his comprehension.

[Your comprehension is extraordinary. By observing the fusion of life and death, you have comprehended the first stable cycle model.]

Lin Yuan sat cross-legged there, his mind rumbling, as the life and death cycle rule rose to the dual-tiered realm.

"I've finally cultivated this fusion rule to the dual-tiered realm," Lin Yuan smiled.

Comprehending fusion rules was much more difficult than imagined, especially from the first tier to the second tier. Countless Tier 10 Advanced levels, dragging their lives to the limit of Tier 10 life, failed to make the breakthrough.

Previous Deputy Tower Masters like Nalan were so, as were Tier 10 entities like the Lord of the Black Star and the Lord of the Lustrous Glass.

Although the latter had hopes of reaching Tier 11, it was only a possibility, and it was more likely that they wouldn't make it.

Even Lin Yuan, after just comprehending the life and death cycle rule, felt that it would take five or six hundred years to cultivate this fusion rule to the second tier.

But now.

Just fifty years had passed, and he had reached the second tier.

In theory, Lin Yuan could now use the dual-tiered life and death cycle rule to break through to the Tier 11 level.

"Life and death cycle rule, at the second-tier realm, combined with the many foundations within my physical and spiritual world, including the profound yellow strike of my soul will..."

"The final eruption of power may even reach the peak of the third tier, or approach the power of the fourth tier life and death cycle rule?"

Lin Yuan thought to himself.

When he initially comprehended the life and death cycle rule, Lin Yuan relied on many of his foundations to forcefully elevate the first-tier life and death cycle rule from the initial stage to the second tier, and even to the early third tier.

Now, having reached the second tier in his comprehension of the life and death cycle rule, Lin Yuan believed that his regular limit attack should be close to the fourth tier.

It should be noted that the fourth-tier fusion rule, even among Tier 11 lives, was quite formidable. Theoretically, the seventh-tier and eighth-tier fusion rules were the domain of the strongest.

Of course, the means of Tier 11 life were far more than just fusion rules, but at least it indicated that Lin Yuan had reached the normal level of Tier 11 life in some respects.

No longer as awkward as when he first entered the threshold.

"The second-tier life and death cycle rule." Lin Yuan operated the cycle model he had successfully 'constructed', attempting to influence the balance of life and death in the surrounding area.

Boom!

Within the guiding space.

The vast rules of life and death continuously intertwined and entangled, and a faintly stable cycle model shadow emerged.

However.

Under the influence of Lin Yuan's constructed cycle model, a minor disturbance appeared in a negligible local area within the guiding space.

But it quickly returned to normal.

Lin Yuan was not surprised by this.

It should be noted that the life and death cycle rule model in the guiding space symbolized the fourth-tier life and death cycle rule.

He was only at the second tier now, so naturally, it was difficult to shake.

His attempt was merely to see how far he was from the fourth tier.

Outside the guiding space.

The figure of the black-robed man suddenly appeared.

"Hmm?"

"The balance of life and death in the space has been influenced by an external force?"

Lin Yuan thought to himself.

Tier 10 Evolvers can easily live for billions of years, so where does he stand now?

"As both are pillar-level fusion rules, the fusion of time and space rules." Lin Yuan thought about his attempts in the temporal and spatial aspects over the years.

Although the time rule is also a pillar-level rule, it surpasses other pillar-level rules. However, so far, Lin Yuan's progress in this regard can be considered slow.

With the immense power of the time rule, even if only one ordinary rule is fused, it is much stronger than the usual pillar-level fusion rule.

"To fuse time and space, and then elevate the spatial rule to the fifth-tier realm, this is one of the thresholds for Tier 11 powerhouses to break through to the ultimate level."

Lin Yuan's thoughts spread. At his level, previously highly confidential information was all known to him, including intelligence about Tier 11 breakthroughs to the ultimate level.

The most important point of an ultimate existence is to break free from the shackles of the river of time, which requires mastery over time and space.

Of course, the more rules one fuses, the greater the benefits. If one comprehends the legendary chaos rule, it would greatly benefit the breakthrough to the ultimate level.

"This Chaos Crystal." Lin Yuan's mind stirred as he took out a gray crystal, inside of which various rule breaths were integrated and dispersed.

"If it were ten or a hundred times larger, the help to me might be even greater than that of the black planet." The Chaos Crystal was too small, and the depth of rules contained within it was not high.

Of course, if the Chaos Crystal were to be increased ten or a hundred times larger, Lin Yuan wouldn't have obtained it.

According to the judgment of the ninth level of the Black Tower in the Magic Jade Space, the Chaos Crystal belonged to the level of an eleven-star treasure. If it were increased ten or a hundred times larger, it would be a twelve-star treasure, or even a twelve-star top-grade treasure.

Battlefield A098.

The Sun Avatar sat cross-legged under the thousand-mile permanent spatial crack.

"Recently, there has been quite a bit of movement from the Zerg side, inviting several Tier 11 special lives to join. It's estimated that they want to intensify the war." Although Lin Yuan had never left the range of the permanent spatial crack above his head, his true body was paying close attention to the intelligence information on this large-scale alien battlefield.

After all, up to now, he was very satisfied with the speed at which he was accumulating Boundary Breaking Source Power on this battlefield.

If there were no other compelling reasons, Lin Yuan naturally wouldn't want to leave.

"I have accumulated close to five hundred strands of Boundary Breaking Source Power now, most of which were accumulated on this battlefield." Lin Yuan was in a good mood. Nearly five hundred strands of Boundary Breaking Source Power gave Lin Yuan a feeling of unprecedented wealth.

"I hope the increase in the intensity of the war won't be too great." Lin Yuan pondered for a moment. The highest intensity of the war in history almost destroyed the large-scale battlefield, and even the powerhouses had to personally intervene.

If it really reached that level, Lin Yuan would naturally not have time to accumulate Boundary Breaking Source Power here.

"Just fifty years ago, how did the powerhouses deal with the aurora from beyond the universe?" Lin Yuan suddenly thought of it.

The power of that aurora reached an unimaginable level, easily shattering a large-scale alien battlefield. If it weren't for more than ten ultimate existences joining forces, the impact would have been even greater.

The greater the power of the aurora, the more precious it was. Intercepting it by the powerhouses would definitely yield substantial gains.

"The powerhouses created permanent spatial cracks, but didn't repair them. Could it be for this moment?" Lin Yuan pondered.

Permanent spatial cracks contain extreme destructive power and cannot be healed by the repair capabilities of the main universe.

However, if the powerhouses were willing, they could completely take the initiative to erode the destructive power within the permanent spatial cracks.

As long as the power of destruction disappears, the cracks can be easily repaired by the powerful healing capabilities of the main universe.

Galactic Main Star.

After resting for a while, Lin Yuan continued to cultivate.

"The Great Destruction Rule." A hint of destruction aura appeared in front of Lin Yuan. In terms of pure killing power, the Great Destruction Rule surpasses the life and death cycle rule.

Among the six pillar-level fusion rules Lin Yuan mastered, the life and death cycle rule had the highest realm, reaching the second tier.

Next was the Great Destruction Rule. It was just a hair's breadth away from reaching the second tier. Lin Yuan estimated that it would take only a few days or a few months to elevate this fusion rule to the second tier.

By then, Lin Yuan would possess two fusion rules reaching the second tier, which would greatly increase his combat power.

"The Great Destruction Rule." The black planet's Great Destruction Rule guided the space, and Lin Yuan immersed himself in comprehending the essence of the Great Destruction Rule.

At the same time, while comprehending the Great Destruction Rule, Lin Yuan was also comprehending other fusion rules, drawing inspiration from each other and mutually stimulating.

In the depths of the cosmic sky.

In a distorted time and space.

More than ten majestic figures stood in all directions, and in the center of their position, a hundred-mile-long colorful aurora was quietly suspended.

"This aurora belongs to the rare twelve-tier material and can be used as the main material for forging ultimate weapons. How should we divide it now?"

A figure with a horn on its forehead spoke. Everyone

More than ten majestic figures stood in all directions, and in the center of their position, a hundred-mile-long colorful aurora was quietly suspended.

"This aurora belongs to the rare twelve-tier material and can be used as the main material for forging ultimate weapons. How should we divide it now?"

A figure with a horn on its forehead spoke, and everyone here was a powerhouse.

Fifty years ago, more than ten powerhouses joined forces to intercept the aurora from beyond the universe. After fifty years of suppression, they finally removed the strange aura from the aurora.

Now it was time to divide this aurora.

In fact, each powerhouse on the field wanted to monopolize this aurora.

But once someone did so, it would inevitably provoke other powerhouses.

In this situation, the powerhouses were wary of each other, ultimately proposing the idea of relatively peaceful division of the aurora.

There was no need.

At the level of powerhouses, there was no need to fight to the death for an external item.

This aurora was indeed precious, belonging to the top grade among the twelve-tier materials. However, before being refined into an ultimate weapon, it didn't offer much improvement to the powerhouses.

"On Battlefield A076, one of the main battlefields of our human civilization, this aurora pierced through, causing severe damage to our human civilization's evolvers."

Among the many evolvers, the Ancient Force Evolver of human civilization looked disdainful and said, "Our humans deserve one-fifth of this aurora."

"One-fifth?"

The other powerhouses' faces turned ugly.

With more than ten powerhouses on the field, even one-tenth each wouldn't be enough. Yet, you want one-fifth?

"Ancient Force, are you going too far?"

The first powerhouse who spoke said.

"Too far?"

"How do you account for the severe losses suffered by the little ones of our human civilization?"

"They are the elites of our human civilization, the future of our human civilization."

The Ancient Force powerhouse squinted, "Without one-fifth, I won't be able to convince others of this outcome."

As soon as he finished speaking.

Eight other powerful auras, belonging to the powerhouse level, pierced through the temporal and spatial barriers and forcefully entered.
