The boundless void, in most regions, is incredibly desolate.
At a certain moment, a tiny figure drifted along with the omnipresent void tides.
Lin Yuan slowly opened his eyes, glanced around at the void, and a sense of emotion welled up in his heart.
Five years of walking through the void secret realm, five years of wandering the endless void.
He eventually chose to sit quietly and digest his insights.
In the blink of an eye, twenty years passed.
During these twenty years of sitting quietly, Lin Yuan casually picked a spot, not using any power, and drifted along with the rise and fall of the void tides.
"Twenty years of enlightenment, I've made significant progress in integrating other rules, but as for the time-space fusion rule? I'm still stuck at the sixth stage, far from even reaching its peak."
Lin Yuan thought to himself, though he wasn't too surprised.
The sixth stage of the time-space fusion rule was already the realm of the Strongest ones. As for the peak of the sixth stage? Or even the seventh, eighth, or ninth stages?
Even if Lin Yuan had all the confidence in himself, he didn't believe he could comprehend them at the tenth rank.
One must understand, even His Majesty, the Mysterious Emperor, who traversed the chaotic void, only reached the ninth stage in his comprehension of the time-space fusion rule.
Even so, when the six-armed figure explained these matters to Lin Yuan, it was with a sense of pride.
Clearly, after the sixth stage of the time-space fusion rule, even the Strongest ones found it exceedingly difficult to advance.
"I'll set aside the time-space fusion rule for now," Lin Yuan thought quietly.
He had reached the sixth stage of time-space comprehension so quickly mainly because of the contributions of many powerful beings from myriad races in the two-dimensional world within the 'blank paper.'
Without these insights, even with his Unrivaled Insight, it would have taken Lin Yuan ten times, or even tens of times longer to reach the sixth stage.
Although these powerful beings' comprehension of time-space didn't extend to the sixth stage, their insights into the third, fourth, and fifth stages provided Lin Yuan with an incredibly solid foundation. With the help of the secret technique "Tianhe," he was able to cross into the sixth stage within just a few centuries.
"The time-space fusion rule is sufficient. Even after I reach the eleventh rank, achieving the seventh stage will still be difficult. The gap between the sixth stage and its peak isn't that vast."
Lin Yuan thought, "What I need to consider now is how to comprehend the Chaos Rule."
The Chaos Rule is the origin of all rules, encompassing even the time-space fusion rule.
Before breaking through to the ultimate level, if he could comprehend the Chaos Rule, it would significantly enhance his chances of stepping into the twelfth rank.
However...
Comprehending the Chaos Rule was far more challenging than reaching the sixth stage of the time-space fusion rule—vastly more difficult, in fact.
The Chaos Rule surpasses all rules, and only the Strongest ones have a chance of touching it, though even that's just a possibility.
In truth, most Strongest ones have never comprehended the Chaos Rule.
At least, the nine Strongest ones of human civilization haven't.
Something even the Strongest ones couldn't achieve? It's practically impossible for beings below them.
Yet Lin Yuan still planned to give it a try. At the very least, it was a glimmer of hope.
Lin Yuan didn't expect to comprehend the Chaos Rule at the tenth rank—he only needed to understand it before breaking through to the ultimate level.
"How exactly does one comprehend the Chaos Rule?"
Lin Yuan was troubled. The method to comprehend the Chaos Rule was simple.
All he had to do was fuse all the rules together.
But that was easier said than done.
Doing it, however, was as difficult as ascending to the heavens.
How should they be fused?
How could they be fused?
These were the questions.
Just fusing time and space had cost Lin Yuan so much time and effort.
Fusing all the rules?
Lin Yuan felt that he was still lacking in many areas.
Many aspects were still incomplete.
"Take it slow."
"Perhaps once I reach the eleventh rank, I'll find a direction."
Lin Yuan thought to himself. The rules sensed by a being at the tenth rank were completely different from those sensed by an eleventh-rank being.
Standing at a higher place allows one to see farther—it's not just about perspective, but involves many aspects.
Moreover, Lin Yuan's Unrivaled Insight would continue to improve as his level increased, allowing him to perform even more incredible feats.
"The remaining stay time..."
Lin Yuan glanced at the virtual panel on the lower left of his vision.
[Name: Lin Yuan]
[Identity: Gatekeeper of the Gate of Myriad Realms]
[Bound Talent: Unrivaled Insight]
[Divine Ability: Blood Rebirth]
[Divine Ability: Moving Mountains]
[Divine Ability: Enhancement]
[Divine Ability: Elemental Body]
[Divine Ability: World]
[Current Status: Consciousness Descending]
[Remaining Stay Time: 101 years]
Unconsciously, it had already been 500 years since his descent into the endless void. With a total stay time of 600 years, Lin Yuan still had a century left.
"That's enough."
"It's time to return and wrap things up."
Lin Yuan slowly stood up. This descent into the Azure World had fully met his expectations in terms of improving his strength.
Whether it was the fifth physical body Divine Ability or the insights into various rules, they had all made significant progress compared to before the transmigration.
Beyond improving his strength, Lin Yuan also needed to pay attention to the spread of the Martial Dao evolution system.
This didn't just affect his progress toward the ultimate level; it would also significantly influence his future success as one of the Strongest ones. The spread of the Martial Dao evolution path would still have a considerable impact.
Swoosh.
With one step, Lin Yuan instantly appeared in the Azure World.
He stood before the Martial Hall.
"Martial Ancestor."
High Priestess Qing Yao immediately rushed over to pay her respects.
"How is the preparation coming along?"
Lin Yuan looked toward High Priestess Qing Yao.
Twenty years of sitting in the void wasn't merely for isolated meditation.
Occasionally, he would issue orders to High Priestess Qing Yao through the Primordial Demon Tree.
And it wasn't just in the Azure World—dozens of other worlds already occupied by the Yin Primordial Spirit were also under Lin Yuan's command.
"Everything is ready," High Priestess Qing Yao immediately responded.
For her, the Martial Ancestor's words were more important than her own life.
Any command from the Martial Ancestor would be carried out by High Priestess Qing Yao at any cost.
"26,5 billion Martial Dao cultivators are all standing by. We're also gathering more Martial Dao cultivators."
High Priestess Qing Yao reported.
These 26,5 billion Martial Dao cultivators were all at least beyond the third rank of Martial Dao and had made significant progress in their cultivation system.
They were the elite of the Azure World.
"Good."
Lin Yuan nodded.
He had High Priestess Qing Yao prepare so many Martial Dao cultivators to accelerate the spread of the Martial Dao cultivation system.
How could the system be spread as quickly as possible? Naturally, it was by sending a group of already accomplished Martial Dao cultivators to worlds where the Martial Dao was just beginning to take root.
The endless void contained countless worlds. Even if Lin Yuan only took half of the territory, the number of worlds under his control would be astonishing.
Spreading the Martial Dao across so many worlds? Relying solely on the Yin Primordial Spirit and the Yang Primordial Spirit would be insufficient, no matter how tirelessly they worked.
In the past few centuries, the Yin Primordial Spirit had only occupied dozens of worlds, partly to remain as discreet as possible and avoid drawing the attention of other malevolent evil gods.
But even if the Yin Primordial Spirit acted without restraint in spreading the Martial Dao, the number of worlds affected in a few hundred years would only reach a few hundred to a thousand.
Spreading the Martial Dao doesn't mean merely occupying a world—you also need time to influence and assimilate it.
The latter is the most time-consuming part. When the Yin Primordial Spirit spread the Martial Dao by occupying one world after another, most of the time was spent on this.
When Lin Yuan first entered the Azure World, his true self had also spent considerable time on this process.
Therefore, the best way to spread the Martial Dao was to have the Martial Dao cultivators spread it themselves.
That's why Lin Yuan hadn't stayed quietly in the Azure World for the first few centuries, but had instead let the Yin Primordial Spirit occupy one world after another.
Only with a larger base of occupied worlds and a larger foundation of Martial Dao cultivators could the spread of the Martial Dao be accelerated.
Otherwise, relying solely on the Martial Dao cultivators from the Azure World to spread the system would still be inefficient.
"I will now send these Martial Dao cultivators to different worlds," Lin Yuan said.
Naturally, this task wouldn't be handled by his true self, but by the Yin Primordial Spirit and the Yang Primordial Spirit.
Transporting a large number of Martial Dao cultivators to different worlds was no difficult task for the two Primordial Spirits. With their shared understanding of the rules and Lin Yuan's comprehension of the sixth stage of the time-space fusion rule, they could traverse the boundless void instantly with a mere thought.
Moreover, with their vast inner worlds, the task of transporting the cultivators was easy.
"Sending them to different worlds…"
High Priestess Qing Yao's heart raced. Although she had vaguely anticipated this possibility, hearing it directly from the Martial Ancestor filled her with indescribable excitement.
If the Martial Ancestor's plan came to fruition, wouldn't the Martial Dao have a chance to dominate this stretch of the void?
Afterward.
Lin Yuan visited the other dozens of worlds, all personally occupied by the Yin Primordial Spirit. Even in the future, when the Martial Dao spread across the boundless void, these worlds would be among its origins.
After completing all this.
Lin Yuan stepped forward once more.
He appeared deep within the secret void realm.
"Martial Ancestor."
The Void Child was startled and immediately bowed before Lin Yuan.
At this moment, the Void Child was no longer in the core area of the secret void realm but had moved to the second-tier area.
Ever since he realized that the Martial Ancestor could freely enter and exit the core area of the secret void realm, the Void Child had never entered there again, subconsciously regarding it as the Martial Ancestor's domain.
Instead, he voluntarily retreated to this location.
"How are the arrangements?"
Lin Yuan asked directly.
"Almost done."
"Most of the evil gods have retreated to their designated territories."
The Void Child promptly replied.
Decades ago, the Void Child had divided the endless void and the secret void realm into two parts.
One side belonged to the evil gods, while the other belonged to the Martial Dao cultivators.
This division had been presented to Lin Yuan for his approval.
Lin Yuan had agreed at the time.
After a brief conversation with the Void Child.
Lin Yuan's figure disappeared again.
In a hidden space within the secret void realm, Lin Yuan's figure reappeared and he sat down cross-legged.
"The next hundred years will be spent in closed-door cultivation."
Lin Yuan thought for a moment, then slowly closed his eyes.
The two Primordial Spirits continued to transport countless Martial Dao cultivators to other worlds.
Meanwhile, his true self focused on enlightenment.
Time passed quickly.
In the blink of an eye, a hundred years had gone by.
