Chapter 367
🕑 Added 2024-12-01 05:00:01 +0000 UTCThe river of time flows endlessly, from the distant past to the infinite future.
In the river of time, a life form at the tenth rank barely counts as a small fish, just slightly stronger than a "subatomic particle."
At the eleventh rank, one can be considered a big fish.
Some extremely special existences at the eleventh rank manifest in the river of time as colossal beings, covering almost half of the riverbed.
"Am I now considered a big fish too?"
Lin Yuan examined himself. Although he was only a tenth-rank life form, his foundation was so strong that his presence in the river of time was not inferior to those of the eleventh-rank beings.
"I wonder what my form in the river of time will look like when I reach the eleventh rank or even the peak of the eleventh rank?" Lin Yuan thought silently.
The form of every living being in the river of time is only related to the essence of life itself, unaffected by external forces.
As Lin Yuan was feeling the strong fluctuations of the time rules and examining himself, Supreme One Xia Qin had already fished out all the Evolvers on the resurrection list.
These Evolvers, upon returning to the current space-time, immediately began to "synchronize" their memories, right up to the moment before their deaths.
The river of time is vast and endless; even just a small tributary contains countless lives. Thus, for a Strongest One to resurrect a particular being, they must lock onto that being's life imprint, using it as a "beacon."
Without a life imprint to serve as a beacon, even a Strongest One would be unable to precisely locate the life they wish to resurrect in the vast river of time.
A Strongest One may transcend the river of time, but that does not mean they control it.
"Where is this?"
"Have I been resurrected?"
"I remember fighting against a strong Infernal Clan warrior on Battlefield No. A076, and then suddenly, I died…"
Countless resurrected Evolvers first displayed confusion in their eyes, but they soon became clear-minded.
In human civilization, the fact that Strongest Ones can perform resurrections is no secret, especially among those Evolvers who know they have the potential to be resurrected.
After completing the resurrection task, Supreme One Xia Qin glanced at the many resurrected Evolvers and then disappeared.
Immediately, Evolvers from the Yu Die Evolution Tower stepped forward to guide those who had just been resurrected.
Many of the resurrected Evolvers had died tens of thousands of years ago and were unfamiliar with the current era, requiring time to adjust.
"I... I've been resurrected too?"
Among the many resurrected Evolvers, different groups formed based on their strength. Sixth-rank Evolvers were in one group, seventh-rank in another, eighth-rank in another, and ninth-rank in yet another.
As a newly advanced sixth-rank, Fang Qing naturally found himself in the group of sixth-rank Evolvers. Around him were other sixth-rank Evolvers who had also been resurrected.
"I follow the Ancient God evolution path. By all rights, I shouldn't have been resurrected," Fang Qing thought, puzzled.
He recognized many of the other sixth-rank Evolvers around him—they were all genius Evolvers, renowned across entire star domains.
As for himself?
Although he had reached the sixth rank in just a few hundred years, he had done so through the Ancient God evolution path, which is essentially a shortcut.
Compared to other normal evolution paths, the Ancient God evolution path doesn't require much talent or insight—one simply needs to be similar enough to the corresponding Ancient God.
Human civilization doesn't allocate many resources to those following the Ancient God evolution path, nor do they typically have spots on the resurrection list.
So Fang Qing was baffled as to how he had also been resurrected.
At this moment, a figure suddenly appeared beside him.
"Star Lord."
Fang Qing looked over, and his spirit immediately lifted as he respectfully greeted Lin Yuan.
"Not bad."
"How does it feel to be resurrected?"
Lin Yuan asked, looking at Fang Qing.
"I'm not sure. It just feels like I've been dreaming for a long time," Fang Qing replied honestly.
"Star Lord, was I resurrected because…?" Fang Qing couldn't help but ask.
"I asked the Strongest One to include you on the resurrection list," Lin Yuan replied.
"I thought the resurrection list couldn't be changed…" Fang Qing was secretly shocked. As far as he knew, every life on the resurrection list is determined by the three Goddesses after repeated evaluation before being handed over to the Strongest One for resurrection.
During this process, no one can alter the decisions made by the three Goddesses, which is considered an iron law of human civilization.
Yet Lin Yuan had managed to force him onto the resurrection list?
What Fang Qing didn't know was that Lin Yuan had added him to the resurrection list without going through the three Goddesses at all. Instead, he had gone directly to Supreme One Xia Qin.
As the ultimate being in charge of the resurrection, Supreme One Xia Qin could resurrect one more sixth-rank Evolver with just a thought.
It was a simple task.
"Thank you, Star Lord." Fang Qing took a deep breath.
Although he didn't know exactly how Lin Yuan had managed to get him on the resurrection list, he assumed it must have come at a great cost. His life was essentially given back to him by Lin Yuan.
"No need to thank me yet."
"Next, I will take action to cleanse your body of the traces left by your original evolution path," Lin Yuan said, waving his hand.
Although Fang Qing had been resurrected, he was still following the Ancient God evolution path. As long as Tuoba Ancient God desired, he could still seize Fang Qing's mind and will at any time.
What Lin Yuan wanted to do was to completely erase all traces of Fang Qing's cultivation of the Ancient God evolution path.
Only by doing this could he sever the connection with Tuoba Ancient God.
"Please, Star Lord, proceed," Fang Qing replied without hesitation.
In his last memory, his evolution path had suddenly started to riot, dragging his mind and will towards an unknown area. Now, thinking back, it was likely due to the influence of the Ancient God evolution path.
Whoosh.
Under Lin Yuan's efforts, the traces of the Ancient God evolution path quickly vanished from Fang Qing's body. This was possible because Fang Qing was only a newly advanced sixth-rank, and Lin Yuan's strength was powerful, comparable to an ordinary eleventh-rank Evolver, making it easy to eliminate the influence of the Ancient God evolution path.
In the depths of the cosmic starry sky.
Tuoba Ancient God's mind stirred as he gazed in the direction of human civilization.
"Has the Milky Way Star Lord's friend been resurrected?" Tuoba Ancient God thought silently.
Just moments ago, Tuoba Ancient God sensed the presence of the Milky Way Star Lord's friend. But shortly after, that presence disappeared, likely because the traces of the Ancient God evolution path had been erased.
Tuoba Ancient God wasn't surprised by this, nor did he have any intention of taking action.
First, it would be difficult to take action again in such a short time.
Moreover, the Strongest One from human civilization had just resurrected the Milky Way Star Lord's friend and was probably nearby. Even if Tuoba Ancient God acted, he couldn't escape the notice of the Strongest One.
Second, it wouldn't be meaningful.
After the Milky Way Star Lord had killed his friend's mind and will to avoid being threatened, Tuoba Ancient God realized that the Milky Way Star Lord would not yield to any threats.
Even if he managed to take Fang Qing's mind and will again, what would it accomplish? It would only lead to another killing by the Milky Way Star Lord.
If the killing failed, the Milky Way Star Lord wouldn't bow his head. It would only deepen the hostility between human civilization and Tuoba Ancient God.
"Hmm?"
"The Insect Race invited me to Battlefield No. A098?"
Tuoba Ancient God frowned slightly. As an eleventh-rank peak special life form, he often received invitations from the allied forces of the peak races to assist in battles on large alien battlefields.
But Tuoba Ancient God usually declined these invitations, as he couldn't be bothered with the affairs between the peak races.
However, now that he had confirmed his enmity with the Milky Way Star Lord, Tuoba Ancient God began to pay more attention to his relationships with other peak races.
Especially the Insect Race, which was already a mortal enemy of human civilization. If Tuoba Ancient God continued to ignore them, his future options would become very limited.
"Fine."
"I'll go this time."
Tuoba Ancient God made his decision.
Milky Way Main Star.
Lin Yuan sat cross-legged.
"Death Rule… Destruction Rule…"
"Great Destruction Rule?"
Lin Yuan merged the pillar rules of death and destruction, forming the Great Destruction Rule.
The Great Destruction Rule is a purely offensive rule, even more so than the Life and Death Reincarnation Rule.
It's one of the pillar-level merging rules with greater killing power than the Life and Death Reincarnation Rule.
In the years since he broke through to the tenth rank, Lin Yuan had not only been comprehending the Life and Death Reincarnation Rule but also other pillar-level merging rules.
Now, the Great Destruction Rule was the result.
"The Great Destruction Rule… among the twelve gates on the black planet, one corresponds to the Great Destruction Rule."
Lin Yuan had a thought, and his Yin Primordial Spirit immediately descended upon the black planet.
"Great Destruction…"
Lin Yuan stood before the gate symbolizing the Great Destruction Rule, then activated the aura of the Great Destruction Rule, pushing open the gate and walking inside.
Soon, he arrived at an altar similar to the one in the Life and Death Reincarnation Rule path.
"You again?"
Black mist surged, coalescing into a black-robed man. He glanced at Lin Yuan and shook his head slightly.
"Senior…"
Lin Yuan greeted the black-robed man.
"When will the trial begin?" Lin Yuan got straight to the point, not wanting to waste time.
"Trial?"
The black-robed man was silent.
He could sense that Lin Yuan had only recently comprehended the Great Destruction Rule.
But given the previous trial for the Life and Death Reincarnation Rule, the black-robed man knew that the trials set by the black planet were essentially non-existent in the face of Lin Yuan.
"Forget it."
"Just go inside."
The black-robed man, not wanting to waste time, waved his right hand, and a five-meter-wide black door appeared.
Rather than have Lin Yuan unleash his full power again, shaking the black planet's interior, it was better to let him go inside and comprehend the rule quickly.
Out of sight, out of mind.
"Thank you, Senior." Seeing this, Lin Yuan didn't hesitate.
He immediately formed an avatar and entered the black door.
He found himself in a small space only a few miles in diameter.
However, it was filled with the infinite aura of the Great Destruction Rule.
"Great Destruction…"
Lin Yuan carefully observed the changes in the aura of the Great Destruction Rule, and with the support of his Unrivaled Insight, terrifying comprehension and inspiration continuously flooded his mind.
And so, Lin Yuan's two avatars quickly comprehended the Life and Death Reincarnation Rule and the Great Destruction Rule.
Meanwhile, his true body and his Yang and Yin Primordial Spirits continued to comprehend and cultivate other rules, secret techniques, and so on.
In the blink of an eye, fifty years had passed.
