Outside the Milky Way Main Star.
Five aliens merged into the depths of space.
As invincible rank-eight individuals, they had comprehended five to six thousand core space models.
They could easily merge into layers of space.
The space of the main world is vast and boundless, with countless layers.
Many secret realms are hidden within these layers, remaining undiscovered for tens of thousands of years.
"What is this Milky Way Star Lord doing? He hasn't come out for ten fucking years!" The five invincible rank-eight aliens were puzzled.
For rank-eight powerhouses, closing themselves off for decades or even centuries is not unusual, but the Milky Way Star Lord had just taken over the Milky Way Star Domain. Normally, he would need to move around within the star domain frequently.
What kind of new star lord stays hidden in the main star without showing up? Certainly, as a star lord, he wouldn't handle everything personally, but he should at least make an appearance.
"It doesn't matter."
"We just need to wait."
"If ten years isn't enough, we'll wait fifty years."
"If fifty years isn't enough, we'll wait five hundred years."
The leading invincible rank-eight spoke. It came from the powerful Dark Lin Clan and was named Sara.
The Dark Lin Clan is a member of the Insect Race Alliance, and the other four invincible rank-eight also came from several major alien races in the Insect Race Alliance.
The Insect Race itself doesn't have the concept of invincible rank-eight. Each Insect Race mother nest can produce countless warriors. As long as there are enough rank-eight insect warriors, even invincible rank-eight would be fearful.
Therefore—
The strength of an Insect Race mother nest is measured by its rank and how many ranked insect warriors it can produce.
An eighth-rank Insect Race mother nest is the strongest existence among the eighth rank. Given enough time and resources, it can continuously produce eighth-rank insect warriors.
Even if these insect warriors don't have basic rule comprehension, their sheer numbers can lead to qualitative changes, allowing them to sweep through everything.
This is the 'insect sea tactic' with which the Insect Race sweeps through the universe.
"Yes."
"It's just a matter of time."
"For us, even if we wait for thousands of years, what does it matter?"
The third invincible rank-eight spoke. They also desired to reach rank-nine, but facing the threshold of rule fusion, closing themselves off for cultivation was useless.
Rule fusion, especially involving certain pillar rules, requires not only enough background but also a critical 'flash of insight.'
"Wait for thousands of years?"
The fourth invincible rank-eight frowned slightly, sensing something wrong.
"This Milky Way Star Lord, with such terrifying talent and being ranked seventh on the list compiled by the Insect Race, if we let him cultivate for thousands of years, he might reach rank-nine, or at least become invincible rank-eight."
This invincible rank-eight spoke with concern.
Hearing this.
The other four invincible rank-eight immediately fell silent.
If it were any other evolver, saying they could comprehend some cosmic power within thousands of years and become invincible rank-eight, they would scoff.
Is cosmic power that easy to comprehend?
As invincible rank-eight, they knew the difficulty of comprehending cosmic power, having gone through countless life-and-death situations and countless opportunities.
No matter how talented or monstrous one is, can they comprehend cosmic power just by sitting still?
But if it's the Milky Way Star Lord?
The Milky Way Star Lord has performed enough miracles.
If he closed himself off for hundreds or thousands of years and comprehended some cosmic power, it's indeed possible.
"Now we have no choice."
Sara of the Dark Lin Clan spoke: "We only have one chance. If the Milky Way Star Lord stays hidden on the main star, we can only wait."
"If we wait for thousands of years and the Milky Way Star Lord truly comprehends some cosmic power, then the Insect Race's mission is considered a failure."
Among invincible rank-eight, there are strong and weak, but the difference isn't large. When two invincible rank-eight fight, it usually ends in a stalemate. Under normal circumstances, it's difficult for one to defeat the other.
This is why powerhouses at this level are called 'invincible rank-eight.'
Even if several invincible rank-eight besiege one invincible rank-eight, the latter can easily retreat.
So.
In Sara's view, if the Milky Way Star Lord can truly comprehend some cosmic power and become invincible rank-eight, their assassination mission would be considered a failure.
The Poison of Memory only targets the mind and memory, requiring the Milky Way Star Lord to lose all resistance for it to be effective.
Even a rank-nine powerhouse would find it difficult to make an invincible rank-eight lose all resistance, let alone them.
Of course, in the view of these invincible rank-eight, the Milky Way Star Lord becoming invincible rank-eight is only hopeful, not certain.
They still have a good chance of success while waiting outside the main star.
Milky Way Main Star.
In the palace, Lin Yuan sat cross-legged.
"The talent I show is reaching rank-eight before a hundred years old and an incredible growth speed."
Lin Yuan thought silently.
"Before I took this position, my teacher warned me that the Insect Race might assassinate me."
Lin Yuan glanced in the direction of the starry sky.
He spent 100,000 universe crystals to upgrade the main star to B-level, not only because it's the economic and political center of the star domain, but also to make his lair impregnable.
A B-level planet modification can easily suppress most rank-eight powerhouses, with incredible defensive strength. Even a rank-nine powerhouse would take a moment to break through.
If invincible rank-eight attack, even a group of them can be held off for several breaths.
For a powerhouse, even a fraction of a second can mean a lot, Lin Yuan can self-destruct his true body to avoid direct confrontation with a rank-nine powerhouse.
Furthermore, Lin Yuan doesn't believe the Insect Race would send rank-nine power to assassinate him.
Sending rank-nine combat power would mean tearing up the truce with human civilization.
If the benefits are significant enough, the Insect Race wouldn't mind doing it, but with Lin Yuan's current talent, he's far from worth that.
So.
Lin Yuan mainly guards against invincible rank-eight assassinations.
Facing invincible rank-eight, Lin Yuan only needs to stay in the main star.
When Lin Yuan first arrived in the Milky Way Star Domain, he quickly cleared the biggest instability factor in the star domain.
This was to reduce the frequency of his outings.
"In human civilization, evolvers reaching rank-eight must guard the frontier star domain. This is tradition, a rule, and even the offspring of the strongest are no exception."
Lin Yuan thought.
Evolvers below rank-eight are protected and invested in by human civilization.
Upon reaching rank-eight, they must give back and guard the frontier star domain, which isn't very dangerous.
Geniuses like Lin Yuan, who may be targeted by alien assassins, are usually given many life-saving cards before going to the frontier star domain.
The Divine Sealing Bead given to Lin Yuan by Xia Qin is such a card. Even if an alien strongest attacks, it can give Lin Yuan a chance for resurrection.
Of course, if an evolver makes a significant contribution to human civilization, such as becoming an evolution scholar or nearing that level, they can apply to be exempt from guarding the frontier star domain.
However, this is extremely rare.
Given Lin Yuan's potential, he could actually apply for exemption.
But if new rank-eight evolvers go to the frontier star domain while Lin Yuan does not, it's like announcing to the aliens that the Milky Way Star Lord has a bigger secret.
In that case, even hiding in the human civilization heartland wouldn't be absolutely safe.
"These ten years…"
Lin Yuan thought, a smile appearing on his face.
The past ten years in the main world saw Lin Yuan making great progress in all aspects.
Firstly, in rule comprehension, Lin Yuan has comprehended 2,932 core space models.
It should be noted that ten years ago, Lin Yuan's comprehension of core space models was just over 2,000.
Over ten years, Lin Yuan comprehended 932 core space models.
These 932 core space models were far more difficult than the initial 900.
Of the 7,782 core space models, the further the comprehension, the greater the difficulty, increasing geometrically.
Comprehending the 2,000th core space model is far harder than the first.
Thus, the further the space model comprehension, the greater the expansion of the inner world.
The 2,932 core space models elevated Lin Yuan's inner world to two million miles in circumference.
This two million miles is the normal inner world size.
With the enhancement of the red liquid, Lin Yuan's inner world reached 6.66 million miles in circumference.
After the enhancement of the orange liquid, Lin Yuan's inner world size has exceeded ten million miles.
"Orange liquid…"
Lin Yuan took out the mysterious gourd. The gourd had turned gray-yellow, emitting a mysterious aura.
Whether it's the initial red liquid or the orange liquid, the enhancements to the body and inner world are foundational.
Compared to the red liquid, Lin Yuan's absorption of the orange liquid was much slower, and after ten years, he had only absorbed half of it.
"My current foundational enhancement is about five times."
Lin Yuan estimated.
The red liquid's enhancement was 3.33 times, and the orange-yellow liquid's was nearly twice that.
The latter wasn't as effective as the former because Lin Yuan hadn't fully absorbed the orange-yellow liquid.
Theoretically, if Lin Yuan completely absorbed the orange-yellow liquid, the enhancement would reach 6.66 times.
"So terrifying…"
Even after more than a decade, Lin Yuan was still shocked by the mysterious gourd's effects.
These are foundational enhancements, not ordinary additions. Now, Lin Yuan's inner world size reached ten million miles.
A ten million miles inner world.
That's the limit for human evolvers, achievable only by comprehending the complete space rules at rank-eight.
But comprehending the complete space rules at rank-eight is almost impossible; some rank-nine powerhouses haven't even done it.
Yet Lin Yuan, in some ways, had achieved it.
Although he hadn't comprehended the complete space rules, he had one of its greatest benefits.
A ten million miles inner world.
And this ten million miles inner world isn't Lin Yuan's limit; he can still expand it significantly.
"With a ten million miles inner world, my current combat power is almost on par with invincible rank-eight."
Lin Yuan assessed himself.
He estimated that with an inner world reaching tens of millions of miles, even without comprehending cosmic power, he could match invincible rank-eight.
With an inner world reaching hundreds of millions of miles, he could crush invincible rank-eight.
Throughout history, invincible rank-eight have been unbeaten at the rank-eight level; this is their myth.
But if Lin Yuan continues to cultivate, he can break this myth.
"Unfortunately, the Yin rule is still slightly behind."
Lin Yuan sighed. Over the past ten years, part of his energy was spent on absorbing the orange liquid and comprehending space rules.
This delayed his comprehension of the Yin rule.
Even so, Lin Yuan felt he was close. Even if he did nothing, the Yin rule would be naturally comprehended in two to three years.
This is the essence of the Tao of Tai Chi, the complementary nature of Yin and Yang.
When one side improves, the other naturally follows.
"Thirty-six threads of Breaking Boundary Source Power…"
Lin Yuan's mind focused on the towering and magnificent Gate of Myriad Realms.
Ten years ago, Lin Yuan had only seventeen threads of Breaking Realm Power; now, it had increased to thirty-six.
"The Milky Way Star Domain is stable and doesn't need my intervention, so I can proceed with the eighth transmigration."
Lin Yuan thought.
However, he was still undecided on how to choose the eighth transmigration.
"Hm?"
Lin Yuan's gaze shifted to a direction on the main star.
There was a mountain peak where Ruan Wei, an eighth-rank evolver who had voluntarily come to follow Lin Yuan ten years ago, resided.
At this moment, Ruan Wei stood on the mountain top, with the surrounding space slightly distorted, clearly comprehending core space models.
"Wrong."
"Your direction is wrong."
Lin Yuan immediately saw Ruan Wei's problem.
Space rules are vast and infinite. The 7,782 core space models summarized by the predecessors of human civilization only explain certain aspects of space rules.
Each person's comprehension of core space models may differ.
"Well then."
Lin Yuan thought for a moment and disappeared from the palace.
"What is space? What exactly is space?"
Ruan Wei's brow was tightly knit, her aura becoming unstable.
At this moment.
Lin Yuan appeared.
He touched Ruan Wei's forehead with a finger.
In an instant, the surrounding space fluctuations gradually disappeared, and the unstable aura in Ruan Wei's body gradually stabilized.
"Star Lord."
Ruan Wei woke up and immediately saluted Lin Yuan.
"Space is everything."
Lin Yuan shook his head and said.
Having comprehended nearly 3,000 core space models, Lin Yuan was fully qualified to correct Ruan Wei's wrong path.
"Space is everything?"
Ruan Wei looked slightly confused.
"Space encompasses everything. The space you see is just a tiny part. The universe, layer upon layer of space, is almost endless."
"When comprehending space rules, never concretize space, or you'll easily go astray."
Lin Yuan reminded.
Evolvers comprehending space rules are like blind men feeling an elephant, without specific guidelines. If they grasp an elephant's leg and think space is the leg, it's a big mistake.
"Thank you, Star Lord."
Ruan Wei was touched, immediately bowing excitedly.
She had been trying to perceive the space rules, attempting to visualize what space looked like, not knowing she made a big mistake.
If she had concretized the space's image, she would find it challenging to advance in space rules.
Lin Yuan's casual reminder undoubtedly brought Ruan Wei back to the broadest path.
This is why many evolvers are willing to follow strong individuals. Often, a word from a strong person can guide them out of a dead end.
A single sentence can change a lifetime.
