"Greetings, Milky Way Star Lord!"
"Greetings, Milky Way Star Lord!!"
"Greetings, Milky Way Star Lord!!!"
Lin Yuan stepped out of the spaceship, gazing at the countless evolvers bowing and kneeling respectfully.
His mindset began to shift slightly.
On the main star of the Red Kun, Lin Yuan held supreme authority and countless evolvers treated him with utmost respect.
But that respect stemmed from the Red Kun Star Lord.
However, now, these evolvers were bowing to him, the Milky Way Star Lord, Lin Yuan himself.
"Rise."
Lin Yuan said.
"Yes."
The two leading evolvers, one in a purple robe and the other with golden hair, straightened up respectfully.
"You two must be Chun Bo and Jia Li?" Lin Yuan looked at them.
Upon confirming his position as the Milky Way Star Lord, Lin Yuan received numerous documents, including information about Chun Bo and Jia Li.
These two were specially assigned by the human civilization to assist him in fully taking over the Milky Way Star Domain.
Although they couldn't compare to the two eighth-rank aliens given to him by his teacher, they were still seventh-rank evolvers.
"Yes."
"I am honored that the Star Lord remembers my name."
Chun Bo and Jia Li responded respectfully.
"Alright, let them disperse," Lin Yuan said, looking at the dense army of evolvers behind them.
"Understood."
Chun Bo nodded, turned to the army, and said, "By the Star Lord's order, you may disperse."
The voice quickly reached the ears of every evolver.
"Yes."
"By the Star Lord's command."
The army of evolvers immediately dispersed in an orderly fashion.
"Star Lord, allow me to introduce the main star to you," Chun Bo said promptly.
The Milky Way main star was vast. Although Lin Yuan had already received related documents, such a large star couldn't be fully documented.
After a brief tour of the main star, Chun Bo and Jia Li led Lin Yuan to a luxurious palace.
"The planet's B-level transformation is nearly complete, right?" Lin Yuan asked.
The transformation of the Milky Way main star began when Lin Yuan paid 100k universe crystals. Evolvers from nearby star domains arrived to carry out the transformation.
"Yes."
"The transformation is in its final stages, almost complete."
Chun Bo answered immediately.
The stronger the defense system on the main star, the safer it would be. This also gave him confidence.
"Pretty fast," Lin Yuan nodded.
Excluding travel time, the transformation took at most three to four years.
In such a short period, transforming this planet into a 'forbidden area' capable of suppressing most eighth-rank evolvers wasn't easy.
"For the Star Lord, who would dare not to put in the effort?" Jia Li chimed in.
The Milky Way Star Lord wasn't an ordinary Star Lord. Not only was he the disciple of the Red Kun Star Lord, but he was also a top human civilization genius with limitless potential.
Those working on his main star's transformation certainly put in all their effort, not daring to slack off.
Of course, it helped that Lin Yuan paid well, with the 100k universe crystals being distributed among the workers.
"I have two subordinates who will manage the main star with you," Lin Yuan said to Jia Li and Chun Bo.
The two aliens gifted by the Red Kun Star Lord, Red Skin and Green Eyes, not only had eighth-rank strength but also extensive experience in managing planets.
Managing a star, especially a main star that serves as an economic and political center for a star domain, requires high-level leadership skills.
"Understood."
Chun Bo and Jia Li had no objections.
When taking over an unfamiliar star domain, it's normal for Lin Yuan to place trusted subordinates.
If he didn't, trusting them entirely would make Chun Bo and Jia Li uneasy.
Inside his inner world.
Red Skin and Green Eyes, the two eighth-rank aliens, were in a state of numbness.
Five years.
Only five years.
For eighth-rank aliens like them, that time isn't even enough for a nap.
But under the watchful eyes of the two eighth-rank aliens, Lin Yuan's inner world had expanded from nearly 300,000 miles to 700,000 miles.
An expansion of 400,000 miles.
Is this even human?
Red Skin and Green Eyes steadied themselves, regaining composure.
Initially, they speculated that Lin Yuan's inner world reached nearly 300,000 miles upon entering the eighth rank due to some spatial treasure.
Certain rare treasures in the cosmic depths can greatly aid in expanding the inner world, although using them has many limitations.
This could barely explain why Lin Yuan's inner world was nearly 300,000 miles upon entering the eighth rank.
But the events of the past five years shattered the two eighth-rank aliens' perceptions.
They watched as Lin Yuan's inner world expanded daily, monthly, and yearly until it reached 700,000 miles.
Using rare treasures to expand the inner world initially is possible.
But continued expansion depends solely on one's understanding of spatial rules.
This means that in the past five years, Lin Yuan's inner world expansion relied entirely on his comprehension of spatial rules.
A 700,000-mile inner world.
Red Skin and Green Eyes tried to remain calm.
They had seen a 700,000-mile inner world before. The Red Kun Star Lord's inner world far exceeded 700,000 miles.
But in just five years, expanding from nearly 300,000 miles to nearly 700,000 miles was unheard of.
Even the spatial affinity creature Xing Hai You Kun, born with an inner world, couldn't possibly be this abnormal.
What the two eighth-rank aliens didn't know was that Lin Yuan had divided most of his time and effort into perfecting the eighth-rank martial path and comprehending the evolution path.
If he fully focused on understanding the core model of spatial rules, the expansion rate of his inner world would be even greater.
"Hmm?"
"The Star Lord is letting us out?"
"We've reached the Milky Way main star."
Red Skin and Green Eyes's expressions changed slightly as they received Lin Yuan's message.
In an instant.
They disappeared from the inner world.
Milky Way main star, central palace.
Lin Yuan sat on the throne, looking at Chun Bo and Jia Li below.
In the next moment.
Red Skin and Green Eyes appeared in the hall.
"Are they the Star Lord's subordinates?"
Seeing Red Skin and Green Eyes, Chun Bo and Jia Li were shocked.
Eighth rank.
Both were eighth rank.
Chun Bo and Jia Li were stunned.
Entering the eighth rank with two eighth-rank subordinates, what a grand gesture.
Do they think eighth-rank experts are as common as cabbages?
Chun Bo and Jia Li realized the terrifying background of Lin Yuan. How much did the Red Kun Star Lord favor him?
"You four will manage various affairs within the Milky Way Star Domain," Lin Yuan said.
"Understood."
Chun Bo and Jia Li responded immediately.
"Understood."
Red Skin and Green Eyes also responded.
"By the way, I need detailed information on the special beings and alien loners in the current star domain, including their activities over the years, as detailed as possible," Lin Yuan said.
As the Star Lord of a star domain, Lin Yuan couldn't allow anything beyond his control.
Special beings and alien loners were of particular concern to him.
"Understood."
Chun Bo and Jia Li bowed immediately.
After the four left.
The palace was left with Lin Yuan alone.
"My current strength... have I reached the peak of eighth-rank combat power? Perhaps even among the strongest below the invincible eighth rank?" Lin Yuan pondered.
With a 700,000-mile inner world, Lin Yuan's combat power was already at the eighth-rank peak.
Moreover, the martial evolution path he practiced excelled in combat, defeating stronger opponents with ease.
The martial evolution path, which suppressed the two major eighth-rank evolution paths on the Red Kun evolution ranking, had a clear combat advantage.
From the first to the seventh rank, and now the eighth rank created by Lin Yuan, every step of the martial evolution path was perfected by Lin Yuan's Unrivaled Insight.
"Below the invincible eighth rank, I have few opponents. Even if I encounter an invincible eighth rank, as long as I don't fight recklessly and choose to flee, I should be fine."
Lin Yuan assessed his strength.
The invincible eighth ranks wield cosmic power, placing their combat strength above the eighth rank. However, with Lin Yuan's survival methods, he believed he could withstand dozens of moves from a soul-type invincible eighth-rank evolver.
In terms of physical defense, Lin Yuan had an eighth-rank armor and the physical divine ability 'Blood Rebirth.'
The latter meant that unless Lin Yuan's body was completely destroyed in an instant, he could regenerate quickly, making him nearly immortal.
With these survival methods, Lin Yuan was confident that even though he couldn't defeat invincible eighth ranks, they would struggle to kill him.
Especially within the Milky Way Star Domain, which now fell under the human civilization's territory. Lin Yuan could summon numerous eighth-rank human evolvers if needed.
A few days later.
Chun Bo and Jia Li brought information on the special beings and alien loners within the Milky Way Star Domain.
"Hmm?"
Lin Yuan reviewed the information.
"These special beings are too arrogant."
Lin Yuan shook his head after reading.
Special beings, born from the universe, instinctively regarded everything in the cosmos as theirs.
Especially a special being named 'Aodu,' who regularly devoured planets, whether resource planets or life planets.
During the transitional period after the Shadow Clan's withdrawal, as the human civilization was taking over, Aodu became more rampant, devouring dozens of life planets.
Life planets, suitable for habitation, hold significant strategic value for human civilization.
A large population base is crucial for producing various talents.
While most resource planets' value couldn't compare to life planets, a few, like the contested resource dead star between the Moonwatch and Golden Dragon Star Domains, contained valuable minerals worth ten thousand universe crystals upon complete extraction.
Such a large sum even caught the eye of the Golden Dragon Star Domain, leading to their dispute with the Moonwatch Star Domain.
"Mine."
"Those resource planets and life planets are mine."
Lin Yuan frowned. As the Star Lord, although the resource planets within the star domain belonged to human civilization, he would still get a small share.
Moreover, human civilization would soon begin large-scale migration to the Milky Way Star Domain, making life planets increasingly valuable.
"Aodu cannot be allowed to remain."
Lin Yuan decided.
The Shadow Clan feared Aodu's strength and background, but Lin Yuan didn't care.
Human civilization had never feared anyone in their conquests.
"I will handle it personally."
Lin Yuan rose and left the palace.
Aodu was an eighth-rank special being, nearly at the peak of the eighth rank, and was close friends with another eighth-rank special being, both residing on the same planet.
In the Milky Way Star Domain, only Lin Yuan had the strength to deal with Aodu.
On a massive planet.
The colossal flesh mountain frowned as it saw the blood-red octopus returning slowly from outer space.
"Aodu, I've told you to be cautious recently. The Milky Way Star Lord is probably arriving soon."
"If you anger the Milky Way Star Lord by going out now, what will you do?" The flesh mountain said solemnly.
It wasn't afraid of the Milky Way Star Lord.
But it feared the Red Kun Star Lord behind the Milky Way Star Lord and the human civilization alliance.
"As a dignified special being, what's wrong with devouring a few planets?" Aodu said dismissively.
Recently, it had indeed been more cautious, refraining from devouring life planets.
But resource planets were necessary for its energy needs. Without the immense energy from resource planets, Aodu's progress to the fourth stage of the eighth rank would be indefinitely delayed.
"But what if the Milky Way Star Lord finds out?" The flesh mountain asked.
"The Milky Way Star Lord?"
"A less-than-a-century-old evolver, even if at the eighth rank, how strong can he be?"
"What can he do to us?"
Aodu was unconcerned.
"Oh?"
"If the Milky Way Star Lord is easy to handle, what about the Red Kun Star Lord?"
"And the human civilization alliance?"
The flesh mountain glanced at Aodu, "From the beginning, I told you to be cautious not because of the Milky Way Star Lord, but because of the human civilization alliance."
"The human civilization alliance has claimed this star domain as their territory. If we want to live comfortably, we must consider their stance."
"As for the Milky Way Star Lord, he's nothing."
The flesh mountain's voice boomed.
"Relax, I only devoured a few resource planets. If the Milky Way Star Lord dares to come..."
Aodu paused.
But before he could finish.
His expression changed slightly.
The flesh mountain also sensed something and its expression changed.
"Who is it?"
Outside the planet, a man in green armor, with calm eyes, stood with his hands behind his back, looking down at Aodu and the flesh mountain, smiling:
"Go on, what will you do if the Milky Way Star Lord dares to come?"
Before the words were finished.
The man extended his right hand, causing space to ripple. The massive planet twisted and shrank, eventually becoming palm-sized and held in the man's hand.
Aodu and the flesh mountain, now like two tiny ants, looked up in terror at the colossal figure in the sky.
