Chapter 283
🕑 Added 2024-09-08 04:00:02 +0000 UTCThe reason why Grand Scholar Mo Lang only sends invitation letters to Grand Scholar-level Evolvers is because the essence of time and space he discusses is difficult for Founders below the Grand Scholar level to comprehend.
Listening for too long might even cause them to develop cognitive barriers, affecting their understanding of time and space.
Forcing oneself to know information beyond one's level often has the opposite effect.
Grand Scholar Tai Ah intended to send the invitation to Lin Yuan because, through their interactions over this period, he had determined that Lin Yuan's talent and insight were exceptionally terrifying. If Lin Yuan had the chance to listen to Grand Scholar Mo Lang's explanations, it would undoubtedly be more beneficial than harmful.
This led to the previous conversation.
After all, Tai Ah himself had no interest in Grand Scholar Mo Lang's lectures, having heard them many times before; missing one wouldn't matter.
But Lin Yuan was different.
In Tai Ah's eyes, Lin Yuan was a newcomer, a junior who had never interacted with Grand Scholar Mo Lang before.
As a Grand Scholar of human civilization and a senior among the Founders, Tai Ah felt it was his duty to look after Lin Yuan.
However, when Grand Scholar Tai Ah saw that Lin Yuan had an invitation identical to his own, he was momentarily stunned.
An invitation that only Grand Scholar-level Evolvers could receive appeared in Lin Yuan's possession? What was going on?
Grand Scholar Tai Ah quickly thought of the only possibility.
That Lin Yuan was also a Grand Scholar-level Evolver.
This led to his earlier remark, "Since when did you become a Grand Scholar?"
After all, in Tai Ah's eyes, Lin Yuan was definitely not a Grand Scholar-level Evolver before.
Otherwise, the Goddess of Wisdom would not have so vehemently prevented him from retrieving Lin Yuan's information.
After casually dealing with Grand Scholar Tai Ah for a while, Lin Yuan disconnected from the virtual world.
He felt nothing about Tai Ah discovering his true identity.
Every Grand Scholar-level Evolver of human civilization was absolutely trustworthy. Becoming a Grand Scholar-level Evolver required more than just establishing a stable eighth-rank evolution path.
"Grand Scholar Mo Lang." Lin Yuan looked again at the golden invitation.
When he first received it not long ago, he didn't think much of it. After all, Lin Yuan was still very young and had not experienced many things, unaware of what Grand Scholar Mo Lang's explanations entailed. The three Goddesses couldn't always remind him.
Moreover, the invitation did not mention anything about rules of time or space.
If it weren't from Grand Scholar Mo Lang, Lin Yuan wouldn't have given it a second look.
"I'll go listen when the time comes."
Lin Yuan made up his mind. After all, it wouldn't waste much time. Grand Scholar-level Evolvers of human civilization were dedicated to specific fields of study. If the Strongest Ones represented the height of human civilization, then the Grand Scholars represented its depth.
"Hmm? The Goddess of Freedom has communicated; now the invincible eighth-rank Evolvers on battlefield B0001 want to meet me to discuss details?"
Notified by the Goddess of Freedom, Lin Yuan immediately agreed.
The discussion would naturally take place in the virtual world and would involve coordinating with Lin Yuan on action plans, timing, and which powerful Tianyu Clan members to target.
These needed to be confirmed through prior communication.
As the invited party, Lin Yuan received a significant amount of merit points as compensation and naturally needed to cooperate proactively.
In a virtual world.
A majestic and grand palace.
Short and stout elders and other invincible eighth-rank beings on battlefield B0001 had been waiting here for a long time.
"The Milky Way Star Lord should be here soon."
"I wonder if the Milky Way Star Lord is easy to talk to."
"I have some connections with the Milky Way Star Lord's teacher, the Red Kun Star Lord. The Red Kun Star Lord is straightforward; the Milky Way Star Lord shouldn't be too difficult."
The invincible eighth-rank beings in the palace whispered among themselves.
The Milky Way Star Lord was indeed powerful, capable of killing two invincible eighth-rank beings, but this time they were facing numerous strong Tianyu Clan members, a peak race.
One or two invincible eighth-rank beings might not be a match for the Milky Way Star Lord, but what about ten? The Milky Way Star Lord would inevitably have to pay a price to hold them off.
If the Milky Way Star Lord was unwilling to pay the price, doing the work half-heartedly, it would be their headache.
After all, they couldn't demand that the Milky Way Star Lord block all the strong Tianyu Clan members; that would be unreasonable. Who knew how many invincible eighth-rank beings the Tianyu Clan would mobilize?
As a peak race, the Tianyu Clan could easily bring in hundreds of invincible eighth-rank beings.
Moreover, each invincible eighth-rank being would cooperate, wielding various secret treasures, unleashing terrifying power.
Suddenly—
A figure appeared out of thin air in the palace, looking calmly at the invincible eighth-rank Evolvers, smiling, "Hello everyone, I am the Milky Way Star Lord."
"Milky Way Star Lord."
"Greetings, Milky Way Star Lord."
"Please, Milky Way Star Lord, have a seat."
The invincible eighth-rank beings immediately displayed enthusiasm, as the upcoming war depended on Lin Yuan; they couldn't afford to be negligent.
"Milky Way Star Lord."
The short and stout elder spoke, looking at Lin Yuan solemnly.
"Star Lord Baiyun." Lin Yuan nodded slightly.
This short and stout elder, named Baiyun, was the Star Lord of the Baiyun Star Domain. His cosmic power, though not high-level, was strong among ordinary cosmic powers.
The invincible eighth-rank beings on battlefield B0001 were mostly led by Star Lord Baiyun.
"Let me brief you on the battlefield situation," said Star Lord Baiyun.
"Please," Lin Yuan nodded.
"Currently on the battlefield, the Tianyu Clan holds the advantage with sixty-seven invincible eighth-rank beings, two hundred and twelve A-grade war machines, and two thousand three hundred regular eighth-rank beings."
"So far, we human Evolvers can barely resist the Tianyu Clan's offensive, but in the upcoming all-out war, if nothing changes, we are likely to lose."
Star Lord Baiyun's voice was heavy. If the Tianyu Clan won, human civilization's Evolvers would face a great escape, and even invincible eighth-rank beings couldn't guarantee survival.
Invincible eighth-rank beings were almost impossible to defeat by another invincible eighth-rank being, but in the alien battlefield, with obvious spatial fluctuations, they couldn't use teleportation.
Once surrounded by multiple strong opponents of the same level, even invincible eighth-rank beings could fall.
Of course, those daring to enter the battlefield were mostly avatars, but nurturing an avatar close to the original's strength was no easy task.
The loss of an avatar was a huge blow to the original.
After all, to maintain an avatar's combat power, it needed to carry weapons of the same level.
These weapons were not cheap.
"I see," Lin Yuan nodded.
The situation was as he expected. If human civilization had the upper hand, they wouldn't need to pay him so many merit points.
"How long until the all-out war?"
Lin Yuan asked.
"About five to ten years," Star Lord Baiyun thought for a moment.
The Tianyu Clan needed significant time to mobilize for an all-out war, which Star Lord Baiyun estimated to be at least five years.
If there were any unexpected events, it could be ten years.
"I understand."
Lin Yuan nodded. "I will reach the battlefield within five years."
Of course, Lin Yuan meant his avatar, while his original would remain at the Milky Way main star.
Though Lin Yuan's original could revive within his Primordial Spirit even if it fell, his original had too many tasks to handle and couldn't afford to go to the battlefield.
With his current strength, even his avatar could crush all invincible eighth-rank beings without the aid of a 100M-mile internal world.
"Thank you, Milky Way Star Lord," Star Lord Baiyun immediately expressed gratitude.
"But Milky Way Star Lord, which Tianyu Clan strong members do you plan to deal with?" Star Lord Baiyun asked.
The strength of the Tianyu Clan's invincible eighth-rank beings varied, and Star Lord Baiyun needed to determine Lin Yuan's scope of engagement.
"How many can you handle?"
Lin Yuan asked.
"We can handle about fifty of the Tianyu Clan's invincible eighth-rank beings," Star Lord Baiyun pondered and said.
"No problem."
"I'll handle the remaining invincible eighth-rank beings," Lin Yuan nodded.
"There are nearly twenty left," Star Lord Baiyun was surprised.
He expected Lin Yuan to be somewhat troubled, as dealing with nearly twenty invincible eighth-rank beings, even just holding them off, was incredible.
If Lin Yuan hadn't killed two invincible eighth-rank beings before, Star Lord Baiyun would find it absurd.
"Don't worry, I have it under control," Lin Yuan said.
Even his avatar, mastering dozens of cosmic powers, could surpass the combined might of twenty invincible eighth-rank beings.
Moreover, Lin Yuan estimated that in five years, with the help of "Interpretation of the Void," he would fully comprehend the rules of space.
By then, his strength would surge again.
Eighth-rank beings comprehending the complete rules of space were much harder than understanding a cosmic power.
At the same time, those who comprehended the complete rules of space at the eighth rank were much stronger than invincible eighth-rank beings.
Historically, every eighth-rank being who comprehended the complete rules of space caused other invincible eighth-rank beings to shudder.
Red Kun Main Star.
Lin Yuan's Yang Primordial Spirit left the Thirteenth Peak, heading towards battlefield B0001.
Leaving his Yang Primordial Spirit at the Red Kun Main Star was to ensure quick revival if his original fell.
Even without the Yang Primordial Spirit at the Red Kun Main Star, Lin Yuan could still revive.
Besides the Yang Primordial Spirit, Lin Yuan left a drop of blood at the Red Kun Main Star.
Using the body divine technique "Blood Rebirth", Lin Yuan could still revive, though without the Yang Primordial Spirit, it would take longer.
Lin Yuan also left drops of his blood in many hidden places as backups for revival.
"It will take about three years to reach battlefield B0001," the Yang Primordial Spirit rode a spaceship, quickly moving through wormholes towards the target.
Milky Way Main Star.
Lin Yuan's consciousness entered his internal world.
"World Tree"
Lin Yuan looked at a sapling rooted in the world's center.
Compared to before, the World Tree was no longer a sapling, standing nearly ten meters tall, its branches swaying, emitting gentle world power, harmonizing various energies and rules within the internal world.
"No wonder it's rated as an eleventh-star supreme cosmic wonder by human civilization."
Lin Yuan smiled at the World Tree.
In human civilization's rating of treasures, the World Tree was not only eleven-star, but a supreme eleven-star wonder.
Previously, Lin Yuan had spent over ten thousand universe crystals on the Thunder Heart, which was only an eight-star wonder. An eleven-star wonder, especially a supreme one, would even make the Strongest Ones envious.
"With the World Tree in my internal world, I no longer need to buy cosmic treasures." Lin Yuan thought.
Integrating various cosmic treasures into the internal world aimed to make it resemble a real world. With the World Tree, his internal world was practically a real world.
Time passed.
Three years later.
Milky Way Main Star.
Lin Yuan sat cross-legged, with silver-white characters flashing in his mind.
"Space."
The more Lin Yuan comprehended, the more he realized the vastness of space. The main universe and space beyond still belonged to space.
Even if he comprehended the complete rules of space, it was only one aspect of the vast space.
"The Devil Jade Tower Master's understanding of space transcends any one aspect. Although not as simple as space models, 'Interpretation of the Void' helps me more at higher levels."
Lin Yuan felt he had grasped an aspect of space's essence.
Human civilization's space models were widespread and easier for Evolvers to understand,
While the Devil Jade Tower Master's "Interpretation of the Void" required a high level of talent and insight into space, otherwise, one couldn't even grasp the basics.
"The 7,779th space model"
"The 7,780th space model."
"The 7,781st space model."
Lin Yuan felt his understanding and control of space rapidly increasing. Three years of comprehension, "Interpretation of the Void" had greatly helped him grasp the essence of space rules.
Even with intermittent comprehension and rest, it significantly impacted Lin Yuan's understanding of space rules.
Time passed.
Five days later.
"Hahahaha."
Lin Yuan suddenly opened his eyes, looking into the depths of the cosmic starry sky. At this moment, all space before him unfolded like paper.
Lin Yuan could even tear one sheet and appear before another distant sheet.
"Great Teleportation Technique, this is the Great Teleportation Technique."
Lin Yuan chuckled. After comprehending the complete rules of space, he could travel hundreds of light-years in one step, the Great Teleportation Technique.
"Marvelous, truly marvelous."
He had thoroughly grasped one aspect of the space, the complete rules of space.
