Chapter 370: The "Blank Paper" (Seeking Subscriptions)

"How is it?"

"Our human civilization only needs one-fifth of the aurora, which is not excessive."

Guli, the strongest, spoke calmly, but the other eight strongest beings in this distorted space didn't bother to hide their presence.

The other ten or so strongest beings glanced at each other.

Behind them stood other ultimates, but the nine strongest beings of human civilization were indeed not easy to deal with.

"Very well."

The lone-horned strongest being finally compromised.

There was no other way.

If they didn't first satisfy human civilization, they wouldn't be able to complete the subsequent division.

Search.

Guli, the strongest, reached out and took one-fifth of the aurora, then promptly disappeared from this space.

As Guli, the strongest, left, the auras of the eight strongest beings of human civilization quickly dissipated.

"Our Tianyu clan also suffered heavy losses," the ancestor of the Tianyu clan spoke slowly, intending to replicate the actions of human civilization just now by taking a portion of the aurora.

Territory of human civilization.

The minds of the nine strongest beings communicated rapidly.

"Within this aurora, there is profound causal killing power. Before it is refined into the ultimate weapon, it can allow those talented evolutionists to comprehend it."

"True, the rule of causality, although not a pillar rule, is the most mysterious and special rule. The more one comprehends the rule of causality, the only benefits without any drawbacks."

"Then I will refine this aurora first."

The nine strongest beings quickly determined the purpose of the aurora.

To refine it into the ultimate weapon.

However, before refining it, it would be appropriate to let some talented successors of human civilization feel the essence of the aurora up close.

Personal world of Xia Qin, the strongest.

Xia Qin sat high on the throne, as if contemplating something.

Before long, Lin Yuan's figure appeared.

"Strongest." Lin Yuan bowed slightly.

The more he cultivated, the more Lin Yuan felt the greatness of the strongest beings.

This greatness was not only in terms of strength; their essence of life, the height they occupied, were all things that life in the river of time couldn't look up to.

"Ah." Xia Qin, the strongest, looked at Lin Yuan, a smile appearing on his face. "How's your recent cultivation? Have you encountered any bottlenecks?"

Xia Qin, the strongest, cared a lot about Lin Yuan. After all, in his eyes, Lin Yuan was the evolutionist most likely to impact the ultimate in this era of human civilization.

If human civilization could produce the tenth strongest being, the pressure they bore would naturally be reduced.

"It's going well," Lin Yuan nodded.

More than just going well.

Fifty years ago, Lin Yuan had only comprehended two types of pillar-level fusion rules.

But now, Lin Yuan had mastered as many as six pillar-level fusion rules, with the rule of life and death reaching the double realm, and the rule of great destruction was also approaching the double realm.

Achievements that ordinary tenth-level evolutionists couldn't achieve in tens of millions of years, Lin Yuan had accomplished in just fifty years.

Not to mention that besides comprehending fusion rules, Lin Yuan had made great progress in spatial rules, temporal rules, and the three major guardian methods of the Xuanyellow lineage.

"Just going well is fine," Xia Qin, the strongest, didn't inquire further.

The path of evolution was a very private matter.

With Lin Yuan's talent and aptitude, he had already carved out his own path.

It wouldn't be a good thing for Xia Qin, the strongest, to intervene forcibly.

Now, what Xia Qin, the strongest, could do was to solve all of Lin Yuan's worries as much as possible.

"In a while, there will be an opportunity to comprehend the essence of that aurora. I'll let you go," Xia Qin, the strongest, said directly.

"The essence of the aurora?"

"The aurora that shattered the large alien battlefield marked A076?"

Lin Yuan's eyes lit up, immediately asking.

"That's right." Xia Qin, the strongest, nodded.

There was no need to conceal this matter.

"After negotiations between my human civilization and those alien strongest beings, we finally obtained one-fifth of the entire aurora."

Xia Qin, the strongest, briefly explained.

"Negotiations?"

"One-fifth?"

Lin Yuan blinked.

Among the peak races, strength was always paramount. Negotiate? Negotiate what?

And one-fifth? According to what Lin Yuan knew, there were more than ten strongest beings involved in blocking that aurora initially.

This didn't even include the subsequent strongest beings who wanted a piece of the pie.

For human civilization to directly take one-fifth was quite domineering.

"Strongest, where does this aurora come from?" Lin Yuan asked.

He knew that the aurora came from outside the permanent spatial crack, which was the chaotic void.

But exactly where and why such an existence as the 'aurora' was born, Lin Yuan didn't quite understand.

"This aurora should come from the 'Taiyuan Ruins.'" Xia Qin, the strongest, pondered for a moment before speaking.

"The Taiyuan Ruins?" Lin Yuan was slightly stunned.

"Indeed, within the detected range of the chaotic void, the Taiyuan Ruins are among the nine perilous places," Xia Qin, the strongest, said.

Lin Yuan listened obediently.

What Xia Qin, the strongest, said clearly transcended the universe.

"The Taiyuan Ruins are very dangerous?" Lin Yuan noticed that Xia Qin, the strongest, described the Taiyuan Ruins as 'perilous places.'

"Naturally dangerous, extremely dangerous," Xia Qin, the strongest, nodded.

"Even a twelfth-level life, with a slight carelessness, can completely fall within the Taiyuan Ruins," Xia Qin, the strongest, said.

Moreover, the danger of the Taiyuan Ruins is not limited to within the ruins itself. Occasionally, many forbidden items spew out from the depths of the ruins.

The influence of these forbidden items varies in size, immeasurable.

"In the universe, twelfth-level lifeforms are invincible, at most severely injured," Xia Qin, the strongest, sighed, "but outside the universe, within the chaotic void, twelfth-level lifeforms still have the possibility of death."

Lin Yuan nodded.

One or two hundred years ago, the corpse of the strongest being that drifted in from outside the universe made Lin Yuan realize that even the strongest beings could die.

The strongest beings only stepped out of the river of time, without a limit to their lifespan, but it didn't mean they couldn't die.

"Of course, the chaotic void is dangerous, but it also holds opportunities. For us twelfth-level beings, if we want to advance further and transform into perfect temporal beings, there is only a tiny chance of achieving that in the chaotic void," Xia Qin, the strongest, said.

"Perfect temporal beings?" Lin Yuan's thoughts spread out.

Ninth-level lifeforms are also called multi-dimensional lifeforms.

From ninth-level lifeforms to eleventh-level lifeforms, they all evolve from multi-dimensional lifeforms toward temporal lifeforms.

Until reaching the twelfth level.

Twelfth-level ultimates are already barely considered half temporal lifeforms.

They occupy the past, present, and roam the 'banks' of the river of time.

But ultimate existence still pursues transformation, which is to become a perfect temporal lifeform.

In simple terms, the goal of twelfth-level ultimate existence is to attempt to occupy the future.

Only lifeforms that simultaneously occupy the past, present, and future are qualified to be called perfect temporal lifeforms.

It is said that perfect temporal lifeforms can see endless distant futures at a glance and can also return to ancient times.

Theoretically, as long as perfect temporal lifeforms are willing, they can completely change the history of the past and shape the future into what they want to see.

However.

So far, Lin Yuan has not heard of any existing perfect temporal lifeforms.

Even His Majesty Xuanhuang and the Master of Moyu Tower are far from being called perfect temporal lifeforms. They are only stronger than the vast majority of twelfth-level ultimates.

"The chaotic void holds great opportunities, but it's a pity that we beings from within the universe, even twelfth-level beings, cannot leave," Xia Qin, the strongest, seemed to think of something and sighed.

"Cannot leave?"

Lin Yuan looked puzzled.

The permanent spatial crack is right there.

Why can't they leave?

"The universe has its own will. Beings like us, twelfth-level beings, have absorbed countless amounts of universal energy. Once we break free from the universe and head to the chaotic void, we will inevitably be vigorously opposed by the will of the universe," Xia Qin, the strongest, said.

"I see." Lin Yuan suddenly understood.

"So, if we want to go to the chaotic void, we can only wait until the end of this universe era, when all things are destroyed, to have a chance," Xia Qin, the strongest, said with a hint of fluctuation in his tone.

Clearly.

Things were not as simple as he said.

At the end of the universe era, the collapse of all things, only by enduring through it, can the strongest beings completely break free from the limitations of the universe.

If they can't endure it, they will naturally enter into the end along with the universe.

However, after the destruction of the universe, there will still be rebirth, but the strongest beings won't have that capability anymore.

Normally, among the ten twelfth-level ultimates, at most only half of them can endure through the end of the universe era.

Only those twelfth-level ultimates who endure through the end of the universe era have the courage to explore the chaotic void.

Leaving Xia Qin's personal world.

Lin Yuan's mind fluctuated slightly.

This time, he learned many higher-level pieces of information from Xia Qin.

Such as the nine perilous places in the chaotic void?

And the restrictions imposed on the strongest beings within the universe?

"These are still too far away for me."

Lin Yuan contemplated for a moment, then stopped thinking further.

He is only at the tenth level now, still a long way from the twelfth level.

And the end of the universe era?

According to Xia Qin's estimation, from the birth of the universe to the present, only one-tenth of a universe era has passed.

In other words, there are still nine-tenths of a universe era until the end of the universe era. In terms of years, that's trillions upon trillions of years.

Up to this point, Lin Yuan has spent less than two hundred years in the main universe.

Meanwhile.

Outside the universe where Lin Yuan is located.

In the mist-filled chaotic void.

A 'blank paper' is speeding towards a certain direction.

If observed carefully, one would notice that this 'blank paper' seems to have no concept of 'thickness', only length and width.

Inside the 'blank paper', mist pervades, vaguely encompassing a vast world.

The entire 'blank paper', like a scroll, is beautiful and mysterious.

However, what is inconceivable is---

Wherever the 'blank paper' passes, the space in the chaotic void begins to collapse faintly, rapidly losing the concept of spatial thickness, and even time becomes unusually narrow, as if suddenly transitioning from three dimensions to two dimensions.

Swoosh.

In an instant.

That 'blank paper' disappears into the dense chaotic airflow.

Chapter 371 Dimensional Reduction (Seeking Subscriptions)

"The Dual Domain of the Great Destruction Rule is achieved."

Not long after parting with Xia Qin, the strongest, Lin Yuan comprehended the Great Destruction Rule to the Dual Domain.

For other tenth-level Grade A powerhouses, once they comprehend the second domain of the foundational fusion rule, who wouldn't be extremely excited? This signifies the ability to advance to the eleventh level.

In the vast universe, eleventh-level beings are the strongest beneath the strongest.

Here, 'strongest' encompasses various aspects, not just limited to strength.

For instance, comprehending the rules of time? It's incredibly rare for tenth-level beings to do so, with only a few occurrences since the inception of the universe.

But for eleventh-level beings, although still difficult, it's comparatively easier to comprehend the rules of time.

Once the rules of time are understood, it means a significant extension of lifespan. By slowing down their own time flow, one year for an eleventh-level being equates to thousands or even tens of thousands of years for a tenth-level being.

However---

These achievements hold little significance for Lin Yuan.

The rules of time? Lin Yuan had already comprehended them at the ninth level.

And even if he hadn't, Lin Yuan wasn't particularly concerned about his own lifespan.

How old is he now? What those ancient eleventh-level beings yearn for in lifespan, Lin Yuan already possesses plenty of.

As for advancing the Great Destruction Rule to the Dual Domain or mastering any other fusion rule to a higher degree, the boost in strength for Lin Yuan isn't as significant as imagined.

After all, Lin Yuan is benchmarking against eleventh-level powerhouses. With his current foundation and methods, even without mastering any fusion rules, he's already invincible at the tenth level.

In the realm of eleventh level, achieving the second domain of a foundational fusion rule is just a minor breakthrough.

"Next, the remaining four foundational fusion rules will also be cultivated to the Dual Domain," Lin Yuan thought to himself.

"And the Triple Domain," Lin Yuan pondered.

Currently, the most hopeful rule to enter the Triple Domain is the Cycle of Life and Death Rule.

However, even with guidance from the black planet for spatial comprehension, Lin Yuan estimates it will take between one hundred to two hundred years to reach the Triple Domain.

As for the Quadruple Domain? Without reaching the Triple Domain, Lin Yuan is unsure of the extent of advancement to the Quadruple Domain, but it wouldn't exceed five hundred years at most.

"From the first domain to the fourth domain, spending just over seven hundred years is acceptable," Lin Yuan calculated and nodded slightly.

For a tenth-level evolutionary, seven hundred years pass in the blink of an eye, but Lin Yuan can advance one foundational fusion rule to the Quadruple Domain.

Lin Yuan is quite satisfied.

Furthermore, during these seven hundred years, Lin Yuan has comprehended not just one but six foundational fusion rules. Additionally, new foundational fusion rules are constantly being comprehended, along with understandings of time and spatial rules.

"What level of eleventh-level being am I comparable to now?" Lin Yuan suddenly thought.

So far, in the vast universe, eleventh-level beings are divided into six tiers.

The first tier of eleventh-level beings has just entered the eleventh level and hasn't even comprehended the rules of time.

The second tier has comprehended the rules of time.

The third tier has mastered a certain foundational fusion rule to the Quintuple Domain.

The fourth tier has integrated time and space, comprehending the rules of spacetime.

The fifth tier has elevated spacetime rules to the Quintuple Domain.

The sixth tier has reached the pinnacle in all aspects and can attempt to break through to the ultimate realm at any time.

Theoretically, eleventh-level beings in the fifth tier have the ability to attempt the ultimate realm, but the chances are slim, hence the existence of the sixth tier.

In fact, even for eleventh-level beings in the sixth tier, the chances of successfully entering the ultimate realm are very low.

To become ultimate, to break free from the constraints of the river of time, and to have infinite lifespan involve many factors.

Many eleventh-level peak beings in history, highly regarded by all, eventually failed to break through and perished.

Therefore, major factions have reached a conclusion.

That is, to break through to the ultimate realm, one needs a certain amount of 'luck.'

Without 'luck,' no matter how well-prepared or abundant one's resources are, it's futile.

"Probably the second tier," Lin Yuan compared repeatedly, positioning his current strength within the second tier of eleventh-level beings.

The third tier of eleventh-level beings has already mastered a certain foundational fusion rule to the Quintuple Domain, a level that Lin Yuan cannot reach in a short time.

"If I can cultivate all twelve foundational fusion rules from the black planet to the Quadruple Domain, I should be able to rival the third tier of eleventh-level beings," Lin Yuan thought to himself.

Eleventh-level beings in the third tier require mastery of a foundational fusion rule to the Quintuple Domain. However, with the quantity transforming into quality of mastering twelve foundational fusion rules to the Quadruple Domain, coupled with the subsequent six non-ordinary foundational fusion rules, Lin Yuan's strength should be comparable to some rule in the Quintuple Domain.

Of course.

The gap between tenth-level and eleventh-level beings is not only reflected in the comprehension of fusion rules.

There are also many differences in physical bodies, souls, minds, wills, internal worlds, and so on.

Normally.

Eleventh-level beings receive an additional infusion of universal origin compared to tenth-level beings, creating a vast gap.

But Lin Yuan has accepted the infusion of the void universe origin, largely compensating for this difference, thus making it possible to rival eleventh-level beings.

Virtual world.

Lin Yuan is chatting with Deputy Tower Lord Nalan.

"Designated A098 alien battlefield is estimated to have a significant increase in warfare intensity. Lady Liberty has already begun conscription, requesting me to send a clone there," Deputy Tower Lord Nalan sighed.

As eleventh-level evolvers, each one is crucial. Even in large-scale alien battlefields, eleventh-level powerhouses are the dominant force.

As for the strongest?

Unless they truly break out in anger, and other factors emerge, the strongest will not intervene.

Below the strongest, eleventh level is the strongest. Even Deputy Tower Lord Nalan, a first-tier eleventh-level evolver who has just entered the eleventh level, can influence the outcome of battles over large areas.

"I've heard about it too," Lin Yuan nodded.

In fact, the designated A098 alien battlefield is where his Sun Avatar is located.

A while back, Lin Yuan vaguely sensed the changing situation in the large-scale alien battlefield, realizing that it might lead to even higher-intensity warfare.

"As long as the intensity of the war doesn't reach the level where the strongest intervene, it shouldn't affect me."

In battlefield A098, Lin Yuan sat cross-legged under the eternal space crack. With his comprehension of space-time, it's hard for other tenth or eleventh-level powerhouses to detect him.

Galactic Core.

Lin Yuan sat within the deep layers of space.

The awe-inspiring power of blood and energy circulated, and within a hundred miles, there was a faint field of mysterious yellow spreading.

One of the three great protective secret arts of the Mysterious Yellow lineage, the "Mysterious Yellow Physique."

Regardless of the lineage, the most important thing is survival. Only by staying alive is there hope.

The Mysterious Yellow lineage is no exception. In terms of survival, they have the "Mysterious Yellow Physique" and the "Spacetime Steps."

"The third layer," Lin Yuan opened his eyes and sighed softly.

The "Mysterious Yellow Physique" is divided into four layers, and the fourth layer is the complete realm.

A twelfth-level being with a perfected "Mysterious Yellow Physique" is said to be undying and can easily withstand the destruction of the cosmic era.

However---

As Lin Yuan continued to cultivate, he became increasingly aware of the difficulty of this secret art.

The cultivation of the "Mysterious Yellow Physique" requires vast resources.

Initially, Lin Yuan thought that with the abundant Mysterious Yellow Crystals in the Mysterious Yellow Realm and the contributions of nearly ten thousand ninth-level aliens, he could at least cultivate this secret art to a deeper level.

This was also inferred by Lin Yuan based on various information about this secret art.

However, the result was that Lin Yuan overlooked a key factor.

That is, he is not like normal tenth-level beings.

For an ordinary tenth-level being, the vast resources within the realm can naturally meet the needs of cultivation.

But Lin Yuan?

Even before reaching the tenth level, his physical body was hundreds of times stronger than beings at the same level.

After reaching the tenth level and being infused with the chaotic void origin, this gap has reached tens of thousands of times.

And this is just the physical body.

There's also the inner world of the soul.

Normal strong cultivators need a certain amount of resources to advance the "Mysterious Yellow Physique" to the next level.

Lin Yuan needs millions or tens of millions.

Although the final improvement to himself is satisfying, the required resources are simply too much.

And this is just Lin Yuan's true body. His two major avatars are still watching.

Since reaching the tenth level and realizing that his demand for resources has surged, Lin Yuan decisively stopped the cultivation of the "Mysterious Yellow Physique" by his two avatars.

This defensive secret art must be cultivated by his true body first. As for the two avatars, they can only endure for the time being.

Battlefield A098.

Lin Yuan continued to cultivate under the eternal space crack.

"In recent months, there have been at least a hundred more eleventh-level powerhouses on the battlefield," Lin Yuan glanced at the distant area while cultivating.

The total number of eleventh-level evolvers in the entire human civilization doesn't exceed one thousand.

Now, just on one battlefield, there are over a hundred eleventh-level beings, not counting those who were originally stationed here and those who have secretly come and evaded Lin Yuan's detection.

"Tuo Ba Ancient God."

Lin Yuan's eyes deepened. On this battlefield, he heard about Tuo Ba Ancient God.

Invited by the Insect Clan, Tuo Ba Ancient God came to assist them.

Tuo Ba Ancient God is the ancient god corresponding to the ancient god evolutionary path that Fang Qing originally cultivated.

Because of Fang Qing, Lin Yuan has some grievances with this ancient god.

Since becoming an evolver, Tuo Ba Ancient God was the first to openly extort Lin Yuan.

According to the information Lin Yuan obtained about Tuo Ba Ancient God.

This ancient god is a fifth-tier eleventh-level life form, and his strength ranks high among all ancient gods. Otherwise, he wouldn't dare to ignore the ancient gods of the Temple and plan to break through the ultimate realm within tens of millions of years.

The ancient gods of the Temple said that Tuo Ba Ancient God's lifespan is only a hundred million years.

But the lifespan of an eleventh-level being is not based on the flow rate of the main world's time.

With Tuo Ba Ancient God's control over time flow, he might still be alive after billions or even trillions of years in the main world.

However, the fact that Tuo Ba Ancient God has the idea of breaking through to the ultimate realm indicates that he probably won't continue to delay and struggle.

In reality, many ancient special beings born since the opening of the universe have lived enough. Delaying their own time flow to achieve alternative immortality doesn't hold much significance.

Just because you've survived through the ages, does that mean you can become ultimate?

But each eleventh-level being has different opinions.

Some eleventh-level beings believe that they have hopes of becoming ultimate in the distant future, while others think that they will die sooner or later, so they might as well attempt to break through to the ultimate realm as soon as possible.

Of course, eleventh-level beings with such thoughts are mostly solitary special beings.

If there are group ties, it's certainly better to live longer and protect the group for as long as possible.

Tuo Ba Ancient God has no ties, and is the unique special being in the universe, which is why he dares to blatantly extort Lin Yuan.

"My current strength is far from a match for Tuo Ba Ancient God," Lin Yuan thought to himself.

Tuo Ba Ancient God is a fifth-tier eleventh-level being, while Lin Yuan currently only rivals the second-tier eleventh-level beings. There is simply no comparison between the strengths of the two.

The six tiers of eleventh-level beings each have a huge gap in strength.

"Give me another thousand years," Lin Yuan has murderous intent towards Tuo Ba Ancient God, but he also knows it's not realistic.

Just with his rate of growth, Lin Yuan estimates that he'll have a chance in one or two thousand years.

Of course, it's only a chance. To Lin Yuan, he'd need to reach the level of the strongest to be confident in killing Tuo Ba Ancient God.

Summer Ghost Evolution Tower.

Lin Yuan's Taiyin Avatar personally rushed over.

At the same time, there were other tenth-grade evolutionists.

"You only have a hundred years."

"A hundred years to comprehend this extreme light as much as possible."

The figure of Xia Qin, the strongest, appeared without nonsense, and a segment of colorful aurora floated in the air.

According to the agreement with the other eight strongest in human civilization, this aurora stays at each evolution tower for a hundred years.

Nine hundred years later, it will be used as the main material to refine the ultimate weapon.

By then, the power of the aurora will converge, and it will be difficult to comprehend it again.

"Is this the extraterrestrial aurora that easily shatters a large battlefield?" Lin Yuan's gaze fell on the aurora for the first time.

[Your comprehension is amazing, observing the unknown aurora, deepening your understanding of the rules of light.]

[Your comprehension is amazing, observing the unknown aurora, deepening your understanding of the rules of cause and effect.]

[Your comprehension is amazing, observing the unknown aurora, deepening your understanding of the rules of space.]

In just a breath.

Lin Yuan sensed dozens of rule fluctuations from this aurora, with the rules of light and cause and effect being the most prominent.

"The rules of light."

Lin Yuan vaguely felt that the rules of light within the aurora were not normal rules of light and should have integrated the power of other rules; otherwise, they wouldn't be so powerful.

There are also rules of cause and effect, which are easy to grasp at the entry level but extremely difficult to master. Without Lin Yuan's full-hearted comprehension, his understanding of the rules of cause and effect isn't very high.

"The six pillar-level rules left on the Black Star, two of them involve the rules of cause and effect. Perhaps with the help of this aurora, I can meet the requirements for understanding the rules of cause and effect?"

Lin Yuan thought to himself.

Although the rules of cause and effect are not pillar rules, they are like pillar rules in significance and are even more difficult to comprehend than most pillar rules.

And the pillar-level fusion rules that encompass the rules of cause and effect are extremely special and elusive, making them hard to guard against.

Battlefield A098.

Lin Yuan sat cross-legged, and the permanent space crack above his head emitted slow spatial fluctuations.

Just then---

Lin Yuan's expression moved slightly.

"This feeling?"

Lin Yuan suddenly looked up at the permanent space crack above his head.

Vaguely.

He felt that there had been unknown changes within this permanent space crack.

The next moment.

Under Lin Yuan's gaze.

A 'blank paper' squeezed in.

The 'blank paper' only had length and width, without the concept of 'thickness', giving people a very contradictory feeling.

"A blank paper?" Lin Yuan stared at the blank paper intently, and vaguely, this blank paper made Lin Yuan's scalp tingle.

Rustle.

After the blank paper squeezed into the universe, it instantly pierced through the entire large battlefield.

But the large battlefield didn't shatter. Instead, there was a collapse of some kind of dimension, losing the concept of spatial volume. In just an instant, the large alien battlefield spanning nearly a thousand light-years was compressed into a scroll, then merged into the 'blank paper'.

Hum.

The blank paper continued to fly towards the universe.

Wherever it went, all matter was compressed, and even space was included, forming scrolls that merged into the 'blank paper'.

"What is this?"

A towering figure staggered back a few steps, looking incredulously at the swiftly departing 'blank paper'.

He was a twelfth-grade ultimate being, and just now, he had also been drawn into the 'blank paper', but as an existence outside the river of time, the dimensional suppression ability of the 'blank paper' couldn't completely suppress him, so he managed to break free.

However.

He escaped.

Countless lives on the battlefield A098, including those eleventh-level powerhouses, all fell into the 'blank paper'.

Even space itself collapsed rapidly, as if a part had been cut out of thin air.

"The Taiyuan Ruins, this direction is the direction of the Taiyuan Ruins."

One after another, the strongest appeared, staring solemnly at the 'blank paper' swiftly approaching.

"What unexpected changes have occurred in the Taiyuan Ruins?" The single-horned strongest had a heavy expression. Fifty or sixty years ago, the extraterrestrial aurora also came from the Taiyuan Ruins.

Now, this bizarre 'blank paper' is also coming from the direction of the Taiyuan Ruins.

This forced them to speculate whether there have been some unpredictable changes in the Taiyuan Ruins.

"Everyone, let's not worry about the Taiyuan Ruins for now."

"Let that 'blank paper' fly down again, and one-thousandth of our universe will be completely dimensionally reduced."

A strong one spoke.

Although the dimensional reduction effect of the 'blank paper' is ineffective against the strongest, the strong's group, and countless lives in the group, are all within the range of dimensional reduction.

"Let's join forces."

"We will join forces to anchor that 'blank paper'."

"Yes, we can't let it continue to fly around."

The strongest immediately made a decision and began to quickly act, using their mighty power over time and space to slowly limit the movement of the blank paper.

Soon.

The flight speed of the 'blank paper' slowed down.

Finally, it stopped under a certain piece of starry sky.

The 'blank paper' slowly unfolded, revealing a scroll emitting a mysterious aura in front of the strongest.

Chapter 372: Two-Dimensional World (Please subscribe)

Dazed and confused.

Lin Yuan finally woke up.

"Where is this?"

Lin Yuan looked around and found himself lying in a narrow room.

"Me?"

Lin Yuan rubbed his forehead. Before losing consciousness, he saw a 'blank paper'.

A 'blank paper' that squeezed in from outside the permanent space crack.

And then.

Lin Yuan felt a drastic change in space-time, with some support point collapsing.

"What happened?"

Lin Yuan restored the connection with his true self, feeling a slight relief.

"No."

Lin Yuan's expression suddenly became serious.

"Where's the spatial layer?"

"And the various rule fluctuations?"

Lin Yuan couldn't believe it. At this moment, he couldn't sense any rule fluctuations.

And the spatial layer? Not only could he not perceive any spatial rules, there wasn't even a spatial layer.

It's as if this world only had an extremely thin layer of space.

But how could that be possible?

If there's no spatial layer, it means the world is incomplete.

How could an incomplete world accommodate the descent of a tenth-grade life form like himself?

Even if it could barely accommodate, with just a thought, he could tear everything apart. But now, Lin Yuan didn't have the slightest feeling of this.

Galactic Main Star.

Lin Yuan frowned.

"Many spatial fluctuations are still there, and the spatial layer is still there."

Lin Yuan was puzzled. How could there be no spatial rule fluctuations in the place where his Taiyin Avatar was located?

You see, time and space are the basic pillars of the spatial world, and other rule fluctuations can be shielded and suppressed.

But time and space cannot be shielded and suppressed.

Just like the space inside the Black Star, you can only sense the corresponding fusion rule fluctuations, but apart from that, you can still feel slight spatial fluctuations.

"Strong ones."

Lin Yuan contacted the strongest for the first time.

"You and all the life on the battlefield have fallen into that blank paper." Xia Qin, the strongest, said directly upon seeing Lin Yuan.

"Everything near that blank paper will 'dimensionally reduce' on its own, and only twelfth-grade life forms can resist." Xia Qin, the strongest, said, "But don't worry, I'm trying to figure out a way to get you out."

"Thank you, Strong One."

Lin Yuan roughly understood the situation of his Taiyin Avatar.

Inside the blank paper scroll.

Lin Yuan's thoughts spread.

"I'm now inside that blank paper, forcibly dimensionally reduced. No wonder I can't sense any rule fluctuations." Lin Yuan thought to himself.

"Even my inner world has been directly compressed into a plane." Lin Yuan examined himself and found that his inner world had completely disappeared, leaving only a slight trace.

"My physical body, my strength, my soul, have all been forcibly lowered to a very low level." Lin Yuan carefully felt it and his expression turned serious.

"But... the Gateway of the Myriad Realms is still there." Lin Yuan's consciousness sank into his mind, looking at the still majestic Gateway of the Myriad Realms.

Even in this two-dimensional world within the blank paper, the Gateway of the Myriad Realms still exudes supreme majesty, unaffected by any influence.

"Two-dimensional world?"

This was the first time Lin Yuan had encountered such a world.

In the nine travels through the Gateway of the Myriad Realms before, although they were all to other dimensions, the dimensional levels they traversed were all at the same level as the main universe. As for lower dimensions, Lin Yuan had never encountered them.

"That blank paper can actually autonomously reduce everything nearby to two dimensions. The chaotic void is truly miraculous, even having such a wonder." Lin Yuan didn't panic but waited for the reply from the strongest.

In fact, if he hadn't invested a lot of resources into this Taiyin Avatar, Lin Yuan would have wanted to obliterate this avatar and leave now.

But being rescued by the strongest would naturally be a better outcome.

Galactic Main Star.

Lin Yuan waited for a moment.

He saw Xia Qin, the strongest, again.

Compared to the initial calmness, Xia Qin's expression was now solemn.

"It's a bit troublesome."

Xia Qin, the strongest, looked at Lin Yuan and said in a deep voice, "That blank paper is too high-level; we can't refine it or interfere with it."

The implication was that they couldn't retrieve Lin Yuan.

"Then I'll just abandon that Avatar."

Lin Yuan immediately spoke up.

Although he was quite curious about the two-dimensional world inside that blank paper.

But without knowing the specific information, Lin Yuan naturally didn't dare to stay inside for long.

What if he encountered the causal curse of that extraterrestrial aurora? Wouldn't that be more troublesome? Although that extraterrestrial aurora can only curse life below the tenth grade, and Lin Yuan left a lot of essence blood in the Yellow Profound Secret Realm.

With the ability of the Yellow Profound Secret Realm to isolate causality, even if the strongest cursed him, he could easily block it.

But who could say anything about the chaotic void?

So it was better to leave as soon as possible.

"Absolutely not." Xia Qin, the strongest, shook his head. "Other races have tried it; their Avatars self-destructed and fell into the blank paper."

"But the result..."

The strongest paused for a moment and continued, "They found that the Avatar that self-destructed couldn't be permanently restored."

"Permanently restored?"

Lin Yuan was surprised.

The essence of the Avatar technique is to cut out a part of one's own mind and will, and then use it as the core to derive a second physical body.

For any life form, the mind and will are the most essential parts, and only through the same mind and will can memory be shared and consciousness be shared.

And to maintain the connection between the separated mind and will and the true self.

The total amount of mind and will is fixed.

For example, the mind and will of a tenth-grade powerhouse are ten points.

Two points of mind and will are separated to form an Avatar.

Then, the true self's mind and will will be eight points.

And the mind and will of the Avatar will be two points.

If another two points of mind and will are separated to form a second Avatar.

Then the true self's mind and will will be six points.

The mind and will of each of the two Avatars will be two points.

That's why most powerhouses only have one Avatar.

The more Avatars there are, the weaker the mind and will of the true self.

And the weakening of the mind and will will affect everything, such as the understanding of the rules, the manifestation of one's own strength, and so on.

There will be a significant decline in all aspects.

If an Avatar falls outside.

Then the mind and will of the true self will be restored.

And then you can continue to cut out mind and will to form Avatars.

But what Xia Qin, the strongest, meant was that the Avatar that self-destructed in the two-dimensional world inside the blank paper would be permanently lost?

In other words, the mind and will carried by the Avatar could not be restored, and the true self would permanently lose part of its mind and will?

In an instant.

Lin Yuan immediately realized what this meant.

Dire.

The cost was just too dire.

Permanently losing part of the mind and will could almost make this powerhouse's potential and strength plummet by several levels.

While forming an Avatar also required separating part of the mind and will, once the Avatar was withdrawn, this part of the mind and will could be restored.

But now?

Permanently unable to recover?

"I..."

Lin Yuan thought of himself.

If the Sun Avatar died in the two-dimensional world inside the blank paper.

Does that mean that he would be unable to reassemble this Avatar?

And the Sun Avatar and the Moon Avatar were Lin Yuan's foundation in martial arts, supporting his towering martial path.

Permanently losing the Sun Avatar would severely affect Lin Yuan's martial evolution system.

In the situation where only the Moon Avatar remained, martial arts would be unable to achieve Yin-Yang balance, leading to a collapse.

"The Portal of the Myriad Realms."

The two-dimensional world inside the blank paper immediately came to Lin Yuan's mind as he looked towards the majestic Portal of the Myriad Realms.

If his mind and will entered the Portal of the Myriad Realms, descended into worlds in other dimensions, and waited for the Sun Avatar to die in the two-dimensional world, would the mind and will belonging to the Sun Avatar then return to the true self?

Could this avoid the permanent loss of the Sun Avatar?

Lin Yuan wasn't sure; this method could only be used as a last resort.

"The best choice is, of course, to escape from this two-dimensional world, but how?" Lin Yuan's thoughts fluctuated.

The strongest of human civilization knew nothing about that 'blank paper,' the only certainty being its connection to the Abyss Ruins.

"Oh, right."

"Ask them."

Lin Yuan's mind moved slightly.

Yellow Profound Secret Realm.

Lin Yuan's consciousness descended.

"Master." The six-armed figure bowed slightly to Lin Yuan respectfully.

"Do you know about this 'blank paper'?" Lin Yuan didn't beat around the bush, immediately manifesting the appearance of the 'blank paper.'

The six-armed figure was the spirit of the Yellow Profound Secret Realm, created by His Majesty the Yellow Emperor, and certainly knew much more than the nine strongest beings of human civilization.

After all, His Majesty the Yellow Emperor was a formidable figure even in the chaotic void.

"This 'blank paper' contains a two-dimensional world, and everything nearby will be forcibly reduced in dimension and fall into the blank paper," Lin Yuan said, conveying the information he had learned as much as possible.

"A two-dimensional world?"

"A blank paper?" The six-armed figure was slightly stunned.

"Is Master referring to 'low-dimensional space'?" The six-armed figure immediately spoke.

"Low-dimensional space?" Lin Yuan's spirits lifted. "Please explain in detail."

"Yes." The six-armed figure did not hesitate; he also realized that this was very important to Lin Yuan.

"The so-called low-dimensional space comes from a few records that His Majesty obtained from a certain dangerous place."

The six-armed figure quickly said:

"Low-dimensional space is created by beings close to perfect temporal life to explore other-dimensional spaces."

"However, later on, some powerhouses discovered that low-dimensional space could allow two beings of different strengths to start from the same point, separate a strand of mind and will, descend into low-dimensional space, and both need to start from scratch."

"Abandoning everything and starting from scratch, without the influence of bloodlines, secret techniques, or the comprehension of rules, so the greatest use of low-dimensional space is to test 'comprehension.'"

"At the same starting point, in the same environment, within a fixed time, whoever's strength improves the fastest has the strongest comprehension."

"Later, low-dimensional space gradually became a kind of entertainment, with beings of different levels often separating a strand of mind and will to engage in a battle in low-dimensional space."

The six-armed figure paused for a moment, seeming to recall something, "Of course, low-dimensional space is divided into two types."

"One is purely recreational low-dimensional space, with no restrictions."

"The other is gambling-style low-dimensional space, where many rules exist, and leaving midway will result in severe punishment. Of course, if you defeat your opponent in the end, you will also receive generous rewards."

The six-armed figure's tone carried a hint of emotion:

"His Majesty once said that the ultimate winner of low-dimensional space will take everything."

Chapter 373: The Tale of the Sky Gate (Subscribe)

"Low-dimensional space?"

Lin Yuan's expression turned serious.

According to the description of 'low-dimensional space' by the six-armed figure, Lin Yuan was almost certain that the 'blank paper' was indeed 'low-dimensional space.'

"Master, have you seen 'low-dimensional space'?" The six-armed figure asked curiously.

'Low-dimensional space' involved exploration into even lower dimensions, and even the Yellow Emperor had not obtained a complete low-dimensional space.

The chaotic void had experienced countless cosmic eras, with many wonders disappearing in the past.

Wonders like 'low-dimensional space' might only exist deep within those large dangerous places.

And perhaps, the Yellow Emperor had only obtained some information about 'low-dimensional space' from exploring various large dangerous places, but had never truly encountered it.

"Not only have I seen it."

"One of my avatars also fell into it."

Lin Yuan roughly explained the situation.

There was no need to hide anything from the six-armed figure, whom he completely trusted.

"Master, are you saying that along with you, there are many other powerhouses who fell into low-dimensional space?" The six-armed figure widened its eyes.

"Yes."

Lin Yuan nodded. "The number should exceed one billion."

The A098 alien battlefield was a large-scale alien battlefield with many powerhouses stationed there during normal times.

Moreover, before the arrival of that 'blank paper,' major forces were mobilizing powerhouses from all sides, preparing for a high-intensity battle.

Lin Yuan estimated that there would be over three hundred Rank 11 powerhouses on this battlefield.

Rank 10 powerhouses numbered around two hundred thousand.

And the rest of the Rank 8 and 9 powerhouses combined would approach one billion.

This was only the number of powerhouses themselves, not including puppets and others.

For example, the powerhouses of the insect race were skilled at cultivating a large number of insect warriors. These insect warriors had no independent thinking and were not counted among the number of powerhouses.

"One billion?"

"Low-dimensional space is just a simple space, how could it possibly accommodate a billion lives in an instant?"

The six-armed figure was somewhat dumbfounded.

In the information about 'low-dimensional space' obtained by the Yellow Emperor, normal low-dimensional spaces, whether recreational or gambling-style, could only accommodate an extremely limited number of lives at the same time.

At most, it wouldn't exceed a hundred.

As for one billion? The essence of low-dimensional space was far inferior to the normal chaotic void, and it simply couldn't support so many lives.

Unless...

The expression of the six-armed figure turned solemn. "Master, I suspect that the low-dimensional space you fell into is one of the first-generation low-dimensional spaces, created by those beings close to perfect temporal life, at great cost and exhaustion of infinite resources."

Low-dimensional space originated from the exploration of dimensions by beings close to perfect temporal life.

The low-dimensional spaces that spread later on were all imitations of the first-generation low-dimensional spaces.

"The first-generation low-dimensional space?"

Lin Yuan looked slightly puzzled.

"Yes." The six-armed figure said, "His Majesty doesn't know much about the first-generation low-dimensional space, only knowing that it contains opportunities bestowed by those beings close to perfect temporal life."

"Any life that falls into such low-dimensional space and meets the conditions can receive these gifts."

The six-armed figure said.

"How to leave." Lin Yuan asked the key question.

"The method of leaving should not be difficult to find. Master, you should explore low-dimensional space more to figure it out." The six-armed figure hesitated.

Inside the blank paper.

Lin Yuan was still sitting cross-legged in that narrow room.

Through his communication with Xia Qin, the Spirit of the Yellow Emperor's Secret Realm, and the humanoid stone statue Shen Ji, he had come to some basic conclusions about his current situation.

Firstly, if the Sun Avatar died in this two-dimensional world, he would lose this Avatar from the root.

Secondly, there should be a way to leave, but it wouldn't be easy.

Leaving midway in this low-dimensional space would result in severe punishment, and it was highly likely that one would need to defeat other beings who had fallen in order to leave.

Thirdly, as long as certain conditions were met, one could obtain the rewards of the creator of this two-dimensional world, which was close to perfect temporal life.

Fourthly, the flow of time was different from the main universe, roughly at a ratio of one hundred to one.

In simple terms, for every year in the main universe, a hundred years would pass in this two-dimensional world.

Lin Yuan's current focus was on leaving this two-dimensional world. Whether he could obtain rewards was not within his consideration.

"In this two-dimensional world, the methods of enhancing strength used in the main universe are mostly useless." Lin Yuan silently pondered.

In the main universe, whether it was the myriad races or human civilization, the enhancement of strength leaned towards comprehending various rules.

By using the power of rules, one could easily erupt with power far beyond their limits.

And once the comprehension of rules reached a certain level, one could establish an inner world within oneself, leveraging the power of the inner world to make leaps in strength by a hundred or a thousand times.

But here?

Rules?

There were none.

Inner world?

Without the support of spatial dimensions, there was no such thing as establishing an inner world. Lin Yuan's inner world had been compressed into a sheet of paper.

Therefore.

In this world.

There were only two ways to enhance strength.

That was the physical body.

Next comes skill.

Under absolute strength, skill is of no use.

But if the strength is comparable, or the difference is not significant,

The side with higher skill will inevitably have stronger overall strength.

Currently, Lin Yuan is unaware of the conditions to leave this two-dimensional world.

But improving strength is definitely not wrong.

"The Martial Dao Evolution Path is naturally good at enhancing the physical body, but in this two-dimensional world, the way to enhance the physical body is completely different from the main universe."

Lin Yuan shook his head slightly.

Ever since the creation of the "Low-Dimensional Space" by beings close to Perfect Time, such "spaces" have been widely spread and used for entertainment or gambling to compete in "comprehension".

It's because beings in the "Low-Dimensional Space," most of the traditional cultivation methods are basically useless. To become stronger, they must create new ways of cultivation adapted to this "Low-Dimensional Space".

"I have extraordinary comprehension. Creating cultivation methods adapted to this world is not difficult at all." Lin Yuan thought to himself.

However, he did not underestimate the thoughts of other powerhouses who had fallen into this two-dimensional world.

Especially those eleventh-rank life forms, Lin Yuan believed that under the same level of realm, no one could surpass his comprehension.

But compared to higher-level life forms, the gap between the two would inevitably narrow.

Moreover, without the blessing of rule power, the upper limit of this two-dimensional world must not be high.

"Take it slow."

Lin Yuan's thoughts converged.

Since he had fallen into this two-dimensional world, he could only take it one step at a time.

"What's outside the room?" Lin Yuan concentrated and pushed open the wooden door.

Outside the door was lush greenery, with a stream in the distance, and a middle-aged man with dark skin was fishing by the stream.

"Wow!"

As soon as the middle-aged man saw Lin Yuan come out of the room, he immediately walked over briskly, speaking a language that Lin Yuan couldn't understand.

"A completely new language?"

Lin Yuan listened carefully, observing the middle-aged man's facial expressions with each tone he spoke.

After a moment of pause, he tentatively said a few sentences and continued to observe the middle-aged man's reaction. After three or four minutes, he could almost communicate normally with the middle-aged man.

Although everything about Lin Yuan was suppressed in this two-dimensional world, his main self in the main universe could share memories.

With the "thought processing speed" of an eleventh-rank life form, coupled with extraordinary comprehension, Lin Yuan learned the language of this world as easily as playing.

In fact, if it weren't for being in this two-dimensional world, Lin Yuan could completely silently read all the memories of the middle-aged man, which would be much more efficient than the current way of language communication.

"You mean, two days ago, countless 'meteorites' fell from the sky, and one 'meteorite' happened to fall nearby. You went to look for it and found me?" Lin Yuan communicated with the middle-aged man, looking pensive.

The so-called "meteorites" should be strong beings like him, who were sucked into the battlefield inside the white paper.

After a moment.

Through continuous guidance from the middle-aged man, Lin Yuan roughly obtained the basic information of this two-dimensional world.

From the perspective of the middle-aged man, he lived on a vast and endless continent.

The way of life on this continent was extremely primitive, mostly in the form of tribes as gathering places.

Occasionally, there were some cities, and cities were already extremely powerful forces. It was said that they were ruled by mighty "Witch Kings".

"Witch Kings" were the strongest existence that the middle-aged man knew of, capable of easily splitting mountains and rocks, terrifyingly powerful.

"My luck isn't bad."

Lin Yuan glanced at the middle-aged man and thought to himself.

At least when the middle-aged man found him, he didn't have any hostile intentions.

And according to the information Lin Yuan had just obtained from Xia Qin and other powerhouses, many powerhouses had a very bad situation after falling into this two-dimensional world.

Some unfortunate ones fell into some "cannibal tribes" and were directly hung on the grill.

It must be understood that ninth, tenth, and eleventh-rank powerhouses, the moment they fell into this world, all their strength and methods were reduced to the same level as ordinary people in this two-dimensional world.

The only thing that remained unchanged was their memory.

But relying solely on memory was of no use, especially when encountering those "cannibal tribes", where both sides couldn't understand each other's language, the outcome could be imagined.

Some powerhouses who fell into the hands of the cannibal tribes chose to expose themselves directly or annihilate their consciousness of falling into this two-dimensional world.

Then came the discovery that "the death of a clone in this two-dimensional world would result in a loss from the source."

In addition to falling into the "cannibal tribes," some fell into the lairs of ferocious beasts and were directly eaten by the beasts.

Still, some fell into bustling cities, causing some native powerhouses to be astonished, and then they were locked up for further research, and so on.

As far as Lin Yuan knew, quite a few of the powerhouses who fell into this two-dimensional world were not in a very good situation.

Of course, there were also those in good situations, such as being treated as "holy" by certain tribal forces, or being valued by native powerhouses, and so on.

Lin Yuan's situation wasn't good, but it wasn't bad either. At least he was quite satisfied.

"Pado, where is the nearest gathering place?" Lin Yuan looked at the simple middle-aged man in front of him.

According to their communication, Lin Yuan knew the other's name was "Pado", who made a living by fishing and hunting, and found Lin Yuan and brought him back.

"That way." Pado pointed to a certain direction. "But if you want to go, it's best to wait for others to go together. Otherwise, you'll encounter ferocious beasts on the road and die."

Around Pado's residence, there were other natives, totaling dozens of people.

On this continent, various ferocious beasts filled every corner, and humans could only survive by sticking together in this world.

Of course, those powerful gathering places and cities could hunt down those ferocious beasts as they pleased, and there was no need to say much about safety.

But settling in such places required a hefty price, something ordinary people like Pado wouldn't even think about.

That night.

Lin Yuan sat cross-legged.

At this moment, every bone in his body was trembling, and black stains kept oozing out of his skin.

At this moment, every bone in his body trembled, and black stains kept oozing from his skin.

As an eleventh-rank evolutionist, even in this two-dimensional world, he could achieve a transformation akin to "Bone Cleansing Marrow Washing" through his self-control.

"Now, I have some self-defense power."

Lin Yuan breathed a sigh of relief. For a powerhouse from the main universe who fell into this two-dimensional world, the most dangerous time was the first three days.

The first two days were spent in sleep, and the third day was for adaptation.

Once these three days were over, he would gain some self-defense capabilities based on his own strengths.

"Now, is my physical body comparable to the 'Witch' of this world?" Lin Yuan thought to himself.

The cultivation in this two-dimensional world is extremely simple, it's all about constantly enhancing physical strength, progressing from weak to strong, and the stages are:

Witch, Witch King, Witch Emperor, Witch Ancestor.

It is said that above the Witch Emperor, there exists the Witch Ancestor, but they are too rare. Each appearance of a Witch Ancestor is worshipped by all beings on the entire continent.

According to the information Lin Yuan obtained from the natives outside of Pado through indirect inquiries, in this world, a Witch Ancestor is born only every few thousand or tens of thousands of years.

"Witch Ancestor?"

"It's just pushing the physical body to its limit."

"Even an eighth-rank life form can easily achieve it given enough time."

Lin Yuan shook his head slightly. He could foresee that with the passage of time, the powerhouses of various races in the main universe would gradually adapt, and this continent would produce a terrifying group of powerhouses.

"Witch Ancestor is just the beginning." Lin Yuan's expression remained calm.

The level that even eighth-rank life forms could easily reach was beyond the Witch Ancestor, not to mention ninth, tenth, and even eleventh-rank life forms.

In the following time, Lin Yuan rested during the day, and at night, he secretly left to hunt down those terrifying beasts.

After experiencing a transformation of his physical body, Lin Yuan realized that to continue unlocking his physical potential, he needed to ingest sufficient energy.

And where did the energy come from?

The power of heaven and earth?

There was no concept of the power of heaven and earth in the two-dimensional world.

All energy absorption was done in the most primitive way.

That was by devouring other powerful beasts.

Boom!

A ten-meter-tall giant elephant fell, and Lin Yuan sat cross-legged in front of it, taking away the core part of the flesh and blood, then eating it raw.

Rushing sounds.

A large amount of blood and qi surged into his body, then were rapidly absorbed and refined by Lin Yuan, slowly enhancing his physical strength.

Time passed.

In the blink of an eye, more than half a month had passed.

"Witch King."

Lin Yuan's physical body underwent its second transformation.

His strength and speed were greatly improved, far surpassing the previous 'Witch' level.

According to the scarce information provided by Pado and others, Lin Yuan should have reached the level of Witch King by now.

A Witch King powerhouse was already able to dominate a region, and the strongest in ordinary gathering places were also only Witch Kings.

Even in city-level forces, a Witch King was enough, belonging to the top-tier powerhouses.

"Phew." Lin Yuan took a deep breath. The price he paid to become a Witch King was that within thousands of miles, all beasts with a size exceeding ten meters were hunted down and devoured by him.

As for those below ten meters? Their blood and qi were too scarce, and Lin Yuan couldn't be bothered to deal with them, and he also needed to leave some for Pado and the others.

If the nearby beasts were wiped out, Pado and his group of natives would probably have to move to another place to live.

And on this continent, migration was very dangerous.

"But tomorrow I can go to the nearest gathering place." Lin Yuan thought to himself.

Every two months, Pado and the others would go to a gathering place together to exchange the goods they had obtained.

Main universe.

Virtual world.

More than half a month had passed in the two-dimensional world, while only a little over an hour had passed in the main universe.

Personal space.

Lin Yuan sat facing Nalan, the deputy master.

Underneath the descent of the white paper, one of Nalan's avatars was also on the A098 battlefield.

So it was only natural that he would be drawn into the two-dimensional world along with Lin Yuan.

But Nalan's luck was a bit better than Lin Yuan's. He fell into a city and happened to be encountered by the daughter of the city's lord.

The lord's daughter immediately brought Nalan back for treatment.

"These are the cultivation methods I collected from that two-dimensional world. Take a look." Nalan, the deputy master, immediately took out dozens of cultivation methods and handed them to Lin Yuan.

Nalan, the deputy master, was valued by the lord's daughter and had access to high-level things. Especially cultivation methods in that two-dimensional world were almost monopolized. Ordinary people would have to pay a heavy price to access them.

"Thank you."

Lin Yuan nodded.

Through these cultivation methods, Lin Yuan could intuitively observe the essence of power in that world.

When Lin Yuan established the Martial Dao Evolution System, he also studied a large number of other evolution systems and cultivation systems from other dimensional worlds.

Therefore—

Studying the cultivation methods of the two-dimensional world would also have a great effect on Lin Yuan.

"Oh, I heard some news." Nalan, the deputy master, seemed to remember something and said in a low voice.

"What news?" Lin Yuan immediately asked.

"The Sky Gate." Nalan, the deputy master, spoke briefly.

"The Sky Gate?" Lin Yuan raised an eyebrow.

"According to the records of the city where I am, every ten thousand years, the Sky Gate will manifest in the world. At that time, only Witch Emperor-level and Witch Ancestor-level powerhouses can approach the 'Sky Gate'."

"Only one person can ultimately reach the Sky Gate."

"If it can be pushed open, one will leave this world and go to a higher-level world."

Nalan, the deputy master, said with a solemn tone.

Although he wasn't sure if leaving this world after pushing open the Sky Gate meant returning to the main universe.

But this was the method of leaving the world that he knew of so far.
