Lin Yuan also closed his eyes.
His mind sank deep into his consciousness, before the grand and majestic Gate of Myriad Realms.
At this moment, the Gate of Myriad Realms shone brightly, and the last world imprint at the 'threshold' below was also glowing.
"For this transmigration, I must always keep an eye on the situation in the Mysterious Emperor Secret Realm. If Xi Lan can't hold on, I'll immediately obliterate my Yang Spirit."
Lin Yuan thought to himself.
Although Xi Lan said he could last three years, Lin Yuan would not place all his hopes on him.
After all, the opponent was Huny, the strongest ninth-rank life form of the Tianyu Clan. Who knew what cards he might still have up his sleeve?
Lin Yuan would never let his Yang Spirit fall into the enemy's hands, even if it was just an empty shell, with the core will long having entered the Gate of Myriad Realms to descend into other dimensional worlds.
As for how to obliterate the Yang Spirit? Lin Yuan had already set up measures around the Yang Spirit. Once triggered, the Yang Spirit would collapse quickly.
Of course, this meant he likely wouldn't uncover the secret of the 'call sensation' in the Mysterious Emperor Secret Realm during this opening.
However, for Lin Yuan, this was a loss he could bear.
Even without the opportunities in the Mysterious Emperor Secret Realm, Lin Yuan could still reach the peak of the universe, it would just take a bit longer.
"This transmigration will last approximately 1,100 years, with a time flow ratio of over 300 to 1, meaning more than two years will pass in the main world."
"In the 1,100 years in the transmigrated world, I must at least cultivate to the level of ten million layers, opening up ten million layers of space."
Lin Yuan set a plan for himself.
With his internal world spanning nearly two hundred million miles, even opening just ten million layers of space would be enough to crush someone like Huny, who had opened over thirty million layers of space.
This was the intrinsic advantage of the internal world itself.
"Let's begin."
Lin Yuan watched as the Gate of Myriad Realms before him grew ever more radiant, with space and time gently rippling. His mind and will were fully absorbed into it.
Lin Yuan felt his consciousness blur and his thoughts waver. When he finally managed to open his eyes, he felt a pervasive weakness throughout his body.
"Where am I?"
Lin Yuan sat up but could barely take a deep breath.
This body was incredibly weak, almost entirely decayed at the root.
"I can feel many spatial fluctuations..."
Lin Yuan looked at the surrounding void.
At his level, even without any strength, his realm would not fall, allowing him to easily see the subtle changes between spaces.
Of course, he could only see them. To manipulate or use them would require a strong enough body and soul.
No matter the world, the body and soul are the foundations.
"My identity is the grandson of Viscount Longshan? The third heir of the Longshan family? My favorite pastime is indulging in maids? The maids here are not limited to human girls?" (Hehe, surprised? Can you guess what type of world is it?)
Lin Yuan quickly absorbed the memories, understanding why this body was so weak.
Indulgence in women, losing one's essence. If not for frequent consumption of supplements, this body would have likely 'died from exhaustion' long ago.
"This world I've descended into..."
Lin Yuan's expression grew slightly serious.
Although the original owner was ignorant and incompetent, he had basic knowledge about the world.
This world was boundless, divided into three parts: the 'Human Realm' where Lin Yuan currently was, the Sea of Light, and the Abyss of Darkness.
Both the Sea of Light and the Abyss of Darkness were said to be the dwellings of gods, each with twelve supreme main gods.
Twenty-four main gods looked down upon the human realm and all other gods.
"Gods..."
Lin Yuan recalled information about the gods.
To become a god, one must spread faith and then elevate their divine kingdom to enter the Sea of Light or the Abyss of Darkness.
"Gods need to elevate their divine kingdoms... somewhat akin to eighth-rank beings opening up their internal worlds?" Lin Yuan speculated.
So far, he didn't know the exact power of the gods in this world, but he guessed they were roughly equivalent to the eighth rank in his main world due to their divine kingdoms.
"The powerful in this world follow the path of spreading faith?"
Lin Yuan mused. Faith was the purest form of emotions and desires in living beings' hearts.
Evolutionary scholars of human civilization in the main universe had long discovered this type of power and even created evolutionary paths using it.
However, relying purely on the faith of living beings as the source of one's power had significant hidden dangers, often leading to the evolver losing themselves in the desires of the masses.
Success through faith, and downfall through faith.
But in this world, the path of faith seemed very smooth.
At least many gods had elevated their divine kingdoms and ascended to the divine thrones using the faith of all beings.
Even the twenty-four main gods of the Sea of Light and the Abyss of Darkness wielded power through faith?
"Faith..."
Lin Yuan's thoughts drifted.
Spreading faith and spreading one's evolutionary path were entirely different concepts.
Faith is about fervent worship, unreserved devotion, while spreading an evolutionary path is not.
For instance, those who practice Lin Yuan's martial evolution path do not need to know about Lin Yuan himself.
"The Longshan family was granted the viscount title by the empire. The first Viscount Longshan made great contributions to the empire."
"The territory of the Longshan family, named Longshan Territory, spans about sixty million miles. This world is even larger than I anticipated..."
Lin Yuan pondered.
A viscount's territory alone covered sixty million miles, so how large was the entire empire? And the empire where Longshan Territory was located was only one of many in the 'Plateau of Nations'.
Lin Yuan rubbed his temples. Even a rough estimate suggested this world was at least over five hundred light-years in size.
And that was just the human realm, not including the Sea of Light and the Abyss of Darkness.
"This world's cultivation system primarily follows the 'knight' cultivation system, ranked from level one to level seven."
Lin Yuan thought silently.
A fifth-level knight is also known as a great knight. The first Viscount Longshan of the past possessed such power, establishing the Longshan family.
A sixth-level knight is a 'legendary' knight. As for a seventh-level knight? No such powerhouse had emerged in the empire, though traces of them occasionally appeared on the Plateau of Nations.
A seventh-level knight is also called a 'demigod,' and such beings have the qualification to create their 'divine names' and spread faith to attempt the next step.
"The knight cultivation system..." Lin Yuan's mind conjured up a knight cultivation method.
It was the Longshan family's Longshan Cultivation Method, which the first Viscount Longshan used to achieve prominence.
However, Lin Yuan only had the basic parts of the Longshan Cultivation Method.
"Average, equivalent to a fifth-rank evolutionary path in the main world," Lin Yuan concluded after a glance.
The Longshan Cultivation Method was the foundation for a fifth-level great knight, something many knights yearned to study.
Even just the basic parts.
But for Lin Yuan, coming from a main universe with a vast array of evolutionary paths, and as a ninth-rank powerhouse himself, it was unimpressive.
[Name: Longshan Yuan (Lin Yuan)]
[Identity: Master of the Gate of Myriad Realms]
[Bound Talent: Unrivaled Insight]
[Divine Power: Blood Rebirth]
[Divine Power: Moving Mountains]
[Divine Power: Enhancement]
[Current Status: Consciousness Descent]
[Remaining Duration: 1,110 years]
Lin Yuan refocused his thoughts and looked at the phantom text below his vision.
"Over a thousand years of stay time, not bad." Lin Yuan nodded slightly.
He had sensed the duration of this transmigration , but only after descending could he confirm the exact length.
With over a thousand years, Lin Yuan was confident that with his Unrivaled Insight, as long as he didn't die prematurely, opening up ten million layers of space was assured.
"Premature death?"
Lin Yuan frowned slightly.
Images of last night flashed through his mind; he had attended a lavish party at a friend's invitation.
The party was extremely extravagant, with many beauties appearing. Eventually, Lin Yuan took a fancy to a charming fox girl, and they spent the night together.
He couldn't remember much after that, only a feeling of ecstasy. But upon awakening, he found his essence significantly depleted.
Had Lin Yuan not entered this body in time to instinctively lock his essence, he would have been much weaker, perhaps unable to even get out of bed.
"Coincidence?"
"Or intentional?"
Lin Yuan squinted his eyes. He was not in Longshan Territory but in Anpu City.
Anpu City was a prosperous trading hub at the intersection of Longshan Territory and several other territories, known for its various pleasure venues from the empire and beyond.
It was also the favorite place for viscount heirs like Longshan Yuan.
More than half a month ago, Longshan Yuan had come to Anpu City with his guards and a few disreputable friends and had been indulging ever since.
In a dark palace, a woman in a black veil, with a seductive silhouette faintly visible, stood before a statue.
"Goddess," a charming fox girl knelt reverently below.
"How is Longshan Yuan?" the veiled woman asked coldly.
"Goddess, I drained Longshan Yuan's essence all night. Even if he isn't dead, his essence is greatly damaged," the fox girl reported immediately.
"Be careful, Longshan Yuan must die naturally," the veiled woman frowned.
Longshan Yuan was the grandson of Viscount Longshan. If his death had any suspicious elements, Viscount Longshan would be furious.
A thorough investigation would cause significant trouble.
Not that they feared Viscount Longshan; he was old and frail.
The first and second heirs were also aging. Even if they became the new viscount, they wouldn't live long.
Their church had already secretly controlled the fourth heir of the Longshan family.
As long as Longshan Yuan died 'naturally,' without arousing suspicion, they could control the entire Longshan Territory in a few decades.
"Rest assured, Goddess, I know my limits," the fox girl promised.
"I only drained a little each time, so no one will notice. After seven times, Longshan Yuan's death will be attributed to overindulgence."
Given Longshan Yuan's prior indulgence, death from overindulgence would be perfectly normal, and even Viscount Longshan himself wouldn't suspect anything.
Although Longshan Yuan's parents and Viscount Longshan had warned him many times, even placing him under house arrest, it was ineffective. Longshan Yuan remained incorrigible.
"Good."
The veiled woman nodded in satisfaction.
Securing Longshan Territory would greatly benefit their church's god's faith propagation.
The territory spanned over sixty million miles with a population exceeding a hundred billion, a vast source of faith that, if secured, would earn divine rewards.
Of course.
All of this had to be done secretly, especially spreading faith. If leaked, they would face the empire's purge.
In the empire, only one god was worshipped, the God of Order, one of the twelve main gods of the Sea of Light, with boundless divine power.
All other faith churches were considered evil and needed to be eradicated.
In the room, having suspected he was being targeted, Lin Yuan began checking himself, circulating his blood and assessing the loss of his essence.
"There's indeed an issue."
Lin Yuan's expression grew solemn.
Normally, even with indulgence, the body wouldn't deteriorate so quickly, especially as the grandson of Viscount Longshan, who often consumed supplements to replenish his essence.
"That fox girl?"
Lin Yuan thought of the charming fox girl he had been with last night, who had enchanted Longshan Yuan.
In hindsight, she seemed suspicious.
However, the fox girl was unlikely to be the mastermind. There was no way the mastermind would act personally. There must be someone behind her.
"Who's trying to harm me?"
Lin Yuan felt a headache. Longshan Yuan had many enemies due to his arrogant behavior, making finding the culprit like looking for a needle in a haystack.
And the use of a seductive trap and a subtle method to drain Longshan Yuan indicated a formidable enemy.
"Hmm?"
Lin Yuan's expression changed. He raised his right hand, pressing his brow, and then slowly moved it away.
A wisp of pale pink aura coiled around his fingertips, slowly dissipating.
"Divine power?"
Lin Yuan was startled and then became serious.
To be precise, it was a wisp of semi-divine power, the aura of a seventh-rank knight, which, with sufficient faith, could transform into full divine power.
"Am I being targeted by a demigod?"
"No, a demigod wouldn't be interested in me. It must be a church founded to spread a demigod's faith that has targeted me."
In a flash, Lin Yuan's mind raced with thoughts.
In the empire and across the Plateau of Nations, the Sea of Light's twelve main gods were the sole deities worshipped.
Any demigod attempting to spread faith was a heretic.
Even the twelve main gods of the Abyss of Darkness were not exempt.
However, demigods had secretly spread their faith on the Plateau of Nations throughout history.
They couldn't resist the abundant faith available in this region, tempting many seventh-rank demigods.

Interesting, if he can somehow master the power of faith, without any of its drawbacks, i can see that being a method to further increase his strength at the same level.
