"Milky Way Star Lord?"
The blood-red octopus Aodu thought carefully and finally shook his head, saying, "Never heard of him."
As a peak race, Aodu had heard of most well-known eighth-rank evolvers in human civilization, especially those like the Wan Yang Star Lord and the Nine Sword Star Lord, who are invincible at the eighth rank.
But the Milky Way Star Lord?
Aodu indeed had never heard of him.
"Of course, you haven't heard of him." The massive meat mountain glanced at Aodu, "This Milky Way Star Lord is a newly promoted eighth-rank evolver. His teacher is the Red Kun Star Lord."
"Red Kun Star Lord?"
The blood-red octopus Aodu's spirit was shaken.
Every invincible eighth-rank master possesses a unique cosmic power, especially someone as terrifyingly powerful as the Red Kun Star Lord.
Even if Aodu hadn't met him, he couldn't be unaware of him.
"This Milky Way Star Lord is very famous. He reached the eighth rank before turning a hundred and is one of the top geniuses of this generation in human civilization."
The massive meat mountain knew a lot about human civilization, though it wasn't really classified information. The name of the Thirteen Peak Master was well-known.
"An eighth-rank before a hundred?"
The blood-red octopus Aodu showed envy, "Most of those human evolvers are like ants, but a very few have talents that make me jealous."
The blood-red octopus Aodu, being a special life form, was born at the fifth rank and easily reached the sixth rank with minimal training. It took countless years to reach the eighth rank.
But those top human geniuses took only a hundred or a few hundred years to reach the same level.
Of course, as a special life form, Aodu's combat power exceeded that of human evolvers of the same rank.
But the gap wasn't that significant.
Below the eighth rank, human evolvers were crushed by special life forms of the same rank.
But beyond the eighth rank, once they developed their internal worlds, human evolvers' foundations leaped, no longer fearing most special life forms of the same rank.
"I'm just giving you a heads-up to be careful. Human civilization is not like the Shadow Clan," said the massive meat mountain, "It's best to reduce the frequency of devouring life planets. Human civilization values planets highly."
"Hmph, I am an eighth-rank special life form from the Starry Sky Grand Alliance. Will the Milky Way Star Lord trouble me over a few planets?"
The blood-red octopus Aodu snorted coldly.
But in reality, he planned to follow the massive meat mountain's advice and be more cautious for the time being.
At least until he understood the temperament of the Milky Way Star Lord. If he were as lenient as the Shadow Clan, life would be very comfortable.
"The Starry Sky Grand Alliance?"
The massive meat mountain shook slightly.
The Starry Sky Grand Alliance is a coalition of all special life forms, formed to resist the Human Civilization Alliance and the Insect Alliance.
Special life forms are few in number and cannot form large groups like humans or Insects. To compete, they must unite.
Even so, the members of the Starry Sky Grand Alliance are not numerous, mostly scattered across the universe.
"Is this star domain getting a new master named the Milky Way Star Lord? Will this star domain be called the Milky Way Star Domain in the future?"
"This Milky Way Star Lord has a significant background as the disciple of the Red Kun Star Lord and a top genius of human civilization."
"I hope this Milky Way Star Lord treats us like the Shadow Clan did."
"I'm not sure. Every star lord in human civilization has a different temperament. If the Milky Way Star Lord is friendly, it would be good for us."
"Although I don't know the Milky Way Star Lord's character, he is young and likely doesn't have a murderous intent."
In the Milky Way Star Domain, special life forms and secluded non-human wanderers whispered among themselves.
They had a good relationship with the Shadow Clan, who had ceded many benefits to keep them in check.
Now that the star domain had a new master from human civilization, these clans and wanderers felt uneasy, unsure of what the future held.
These wanderers and special life forms had settled here for ages and did not want to move if possible.
That's why they stayed even after the Shadow Clan retreated.
As long as the new master did not target them, everything would be fine.
Red Kun Main Star.
Lin Yuan walked out of the hall and entered the A-class spaceship, preparing to head to the Milky Way Star Domain.
"From today, you shall be called 'Milky Way'."
Lin Yuan set the destination to 'Milky Way Star Domain' and left the rest to the ship.
With the main control intelligence of the Milky Way, Lin Yuan did not need to worry about the journey as it could choose the optimal route on its own.
"Master, it will take five years to reach the Milky Way Star Domain from now," a sweet voice echoed in Lin Yuan's ear, coming from the main control intelligence of the Milky Way.
"Five years?"
"That's fine."
Lin Yuan nodded.
Without the Milky Way, traveling with standard spaceships would take at least twenty years.
The Milky Way's performance allowed it to travel long distances through wormholes with short cooldown times.
Whoosh.
The Milky Way turned into a black lightning bolt, arriving at the Red Kun Main Star's platform in an instant, then headed into the depths of space.
Finally, the space rippled as it entered a wormhole.
Inside the Milky Way.
Lin Yuan sat cross-legged.
Five years might be short for other evolvers, but for Lin Yuan, it was precious training time.
With Unrivaled Insight, five years would allow significant improvement.
This wasn't the transmigration world but the main world.
In the transmigration world, although Lin Yuan had ample time, it lacked the conveniences of the main world.
For example, the constantly fluctuating space essence in the alien battlefield significantly benefited Lin Yuan's understanding of the core space model.
And the body segment from the Devil Jade Tower's Strongest One in the virtual world.
Of course, the transmigration world also had its advantages. Each had its merits.
Inner World.
Vast, nearly 300,000 miles in circumference.
When Lin Yuan first entered the eighth rank, his inner world expanded to 250,000 miles.
But with continuous training and deeper understanding of space rules, the expansion speed increased significantly.
Now it had reached 280,000 miles.
In the southeast corner of the Inner World.
Red Skin and Green Eyes, the two eighth-rank non-humans, looked dazed.
Since being sent here by Lin Yuan, their shock had never ceased.
Wasn't the Thirteen Peak Master just at the early eighth rank?
An early eighth-rank with such a large inner world?
Red Skin and Green Eyes looked at each other, feeling parched.
Normally, an early eighth-rank inner world would be only a hundred miles in circumference.
With continuous training and deeper understanding of space rules, the inner world gradually expanded.
But Lin Yuan...
Red Skin and Green Eyes swallowed hard. Combined, their inner worlds were less than a third the size of Lin Yuan's early eighth-rank inner world.
Unbelievable.
"Now I understand why the Star Lord said what he said when assigning us to follow the Peak Master."
Red Skin was silent for a while before speaking dryly.
The gist of what the Red Kun Star Lord said was to follow Lin Yuan's orders.
Protection wasn't mentioned.
At that time, Red Skin and Green Eyes found it strange. As an early eighth-rank, Lin Yuan's task in the peripheral star domain should include their protection.
But now, it was clear that the Thirteen Peak Master at the early eighth rank did not need their protection at all.
Based on the size of his inner world, Lin Yuan's strength could easily crush them.
The two eighth-rank non-humans had a realization. Their task was probably to handle trivial matters, ensuring Lin Yuan's valuable time wasn't wasted.
"Freak, such a freak."
"How can human civilization produce such a freak?"
Red Skin couldn't help but say, an early eighth-rank comparable to the peak of the eighth rank. Even rare special life forms couldn't achieve this.
"Perhaps this is why human civilization became a peak race?"
Green Eyes muttered.
Human civilization's history was short, just over two million years, yet in this brief time, it became a peak race due to the emergence of numerous geniuses.
These geniuses weren't just in evolution but across various fields.
Time passed.
Five years flew by.
In the Milky Way Star Domain, a black spaceship emerged from the wormhole.
"Master, we have arrived at the Milky Way Star Domain."
Inside the spaceship, Lin Yuan slowly opened his eyes, hearing the sweet voice of the Milky Way's main control intelligence.
"Finally here..."
Lin Yuan looked out into space.
He saw a star domain resembling a silver river, hanging in space, extremely dazzling and beautiful.
"Five years..."
Lin Yuan sighed. These five years had brought great progress in various aspects.
Firstly, in understanding the core space model, Lin Yuan had comprehended the 2,092nd type.
The core space model had 7,782 types in total. Understanding 2,000 types meant he was a quarter of the way.
Even the Red Kun Star Lord hadn't fully comprehended all core space models.
Fully comprehending all core space models equated to mastering the complete space rules, making the vast universe accessible.
Secondly, in pioneering the eighth-rank chapter of the martial evolution path, Lin Yuan had almost completed the second stage out of ten.
Any eighth-rank chapter of an evolution path is crucial for becoming a grand scholar in evolution.
The martial evolution path is especially difficult. Reaching the second stage in five years would astonish any evolution grand scholar.
Even for an evolution grand scholar, creating an eighth-rank evolution path from scratch is not easy and requires immense time and effort, with no guarantee of recognition by the three goddesses.
"I've already comprehended over 11,000 evolution paths, yet I'm still an ordinary member of the Devil Jade Tower?"
Lin Yuan pondered.
For five years, Lin Yuan occasionally studied that body segment. With his greatly increased rank, even though he still faced mental pressure, his comprehension speed had significantly improved.
In just five years, Lin Yuan had comprehended over 7,000 evolution paths, even though he only spent part of his time on it.
Otherwise, it would be more.
"No matter."
"Keep comprehending."
"Whether an ordinary member or a core member, improving my strength is what matters."
Lin Yuan thought, continuously comprehending new evolution paths and extracting their essence.
"The Breaking Boundary Source Power... I've accumulated fifteen threads."
Lin Yuan sensed the Breaking Boundary Source Power in the Gate to the Myriad Realms in his mind and smiled.
For Lin Yuan, the more Breaking Boundary Source Power, the better. It not only meant more transmigration opportunities but also the ultimate life-saving ability.
Because—
Consuming fifty threads of Breaking Boundary Source Power allows physical transmigration.
Physical transmigration means physically entering the transmigrated world.
This transmigration method has both advantages and disadvantages.
The disadvantage is that if you die in the transmigrated world, you might really die.
The advantage is that any improvement in the transmigrated world can be synchronized with the physical body.
And when escaping pursuit in the main world, physical transmigration offers a way out.
The transmigrated world chosen by the Gate to the Myriad Realms is in a different dimension from the main world.
Lin Yuan could hide there, and even the Strongest One would be helpless.
"Go."
"Directly to the main star."
Lin Yuan ordered the Milky Way.
Whoosh.
The Milky Way turned into a black lightning bolt, disappearing into space.
Milky Way Main Star.
This was a high-level life planet.
Since Lin Yuan was appointed Milky Way Star Lord and designated this planet as the main star of the Milky Way Star Domain.
Official human evolvers from nearby star domains arrived in advance to conduct a B-grade transformation of the planet.
Additionally, a human evolver army was stationed here, specifically left by human civilization to assist the new star lord.
"The Star Lord should be arriving soon. Everyone, be alert." A man in a fine purple robe said in the sky above the Milky Way Main Star.
A blonde man stood beside him, with a massive army of evolvers behind them.
The evolver army was mainly composed of fifth-rank evolvers, led by hundreds of sixth-rank evolvers, with the two seventh-rank evolvers in purple and gold as commanders.
"Our Star Lord is quite wealthy, directly opting for a B-grade transformation of the main star," the blonde man said quietly.
Typically, newly promoted eighth-rank evolvers were not wealthy, and they chose the free C-grade transformation for their star domains.
A B-grade transformation cost 100,000 universe crystals, equivalent to a veteran eighth-rank evolver's entire assets, including weapons and treasures.
"The Star Lord is a peerless genius, reaching the eighth rank before a hundred years old, with the Red Kun Star Lord as his teacher. The gifts from his eighth-rank celebration alone would surpass 100,000 universe crystals, incomparable to ordinary eighth-rank star lords."
The purple-robed man glanced at the blonde man and said.
"Indeed." The blonde man nodded, looking amazed.
When he first heard that the Milky Way Star Lord was the Thirteen Peak Master of the Red Kun Star Domain, he was shocked for a long time. This was a peerless genius of human civilization.
"Alright."
"The Star Lord has arrived."
The purple-robed man's expression changed slightly as he looked ahead.
Space rippled slightly, and a streamlined black spaceship appeared silently.
"Greetings to the Milky Way Star Lord."
The purple-robed man and the blonde man bowed in unison.
"Greetings to the Milky Way Star Lord!"
Behind them, the massive army of evolvers knelt in unison, respectfully shouting, "Greetings to the Milky Way Star Lord."
