Chapter 130 Evolutionary Grand Scholar

"I fortunately stepped into the Fifth-Order a few days ago."

Lin Yuan did not deny it. Human Civilization is vast and boundless, with countless geniuses.

Crossing a major Realm in a year or two, for a certain Star Domain or a few Star Domains—

might be considered rare, but if one looks at the entire territory of Human Civilization, it is not that dazzling.

To say nothing else, back then, Red Kun Star Lord executed Possession on a Star Sea Roaming Kun cub, ascending to the heavens in a single step. The degree of his legend spread across more than half of the territory of Human Civilization.

Therefore,

as long as Lin Yuan remains of the Human Race,

and does not expose the 'Gate of Myriad Realms' deep within his mind,

no matter how strong a talent he displays, there will be no problems. He will only be cherished even more as a treasure by Red Kun Star Lord and the Goddess of Wisdom.

In the two-million-plus years of the Star Sea Calendar, the Human Civilization Alliance swept across all directions of the Universe, beating the alien races into step-by-step retreat.

Aside from those few top-tier Experts,

what is even more important is the protection mechanism for geniuses.

Without this mechanism continuously providing fresh blood, it would be impossible to have the current Human Civilization that exerts pressure on numerous alien races.

"Really Fifth-Order?"

Red Kun Star Lord fell silent. Just now, he thought it was an illusion.

Upon hearing Lin Yuan's admission, he immediately realized that the talent of this newly accepted Disciple of his surpassed even his own expectations.

Comprehending the Profound Yellow Evolution Path only means one is suitable to Cultivate this evolution path, but exactly what height one can reach in the future—

remains an unknown matter.

However, given Lin Yuan's current performance, there is no need to say much about his future potential.

"Let me gather my thoughts."

Red Kun Star Lord rubbed the space between his brows.

Originally, while in secluded cultivation, he had already arranged a complete set of training plans for Lin Yuan.

Red Kun Star Lord excelled at teaching Disciples. Previously, when leaving seclusion, he glanced at Lin Yuan and took the opportunity to review the combat videos from the tournament match a few times.

From this, he devised a training plan tailored specifically for Lin Yuan.

This training plan was completely tailor-made for Lin Yuan, accurate down to every single step of his subsequent Cultivation.

But now,

Lin Yuan had broken through to the Fifth-Order.

The training plan thought up by Red Kun Star Lord naturally had to be discarded.

This was not because Red Kun Star Lord's training plan stopped merely at the Fourth-Order chapter.

In fact, Red Kun Star Lord's training plan already encompassed the Sixth-Order chapter, and even provided suggestions on how to achieve a Breakthrough to the Sixth-Order.

However, this training plan was based on Lin Yuan as previously perceived by Red Kun Star Lord.

Now that Lin Yuan had stepped into the Fifth-Order, and his talent exceeded Red Kun Star Lord's expectations, continuing to use this training plan was obviously somewhat inappropriate.

Simply put, this training plan was no longer worthy of the current Lin Yuan.

"Let me think…"

Red Kun Star Lord was very cautious.

He knew very well that the greater the Genius, the less one should interfere with their guidance.

At Red Kun Star Lord's height, if it were an ordinary Evolver, he could naturally give direct guidance or even personally plan out their subsequent path.

But if it were a top-tier Genius Evolver, Red Kun Star Lord had to be prudent, because he himself did not know whether the path he planned for this top-tier Genius Evolver would definitely be suitable.

Geniuses often carve out their own paths; if others forcefully interfere, it would only suppress that Genius.

"I never expected that I, Red Kun, would one day agonize over such a matter." Red Kun Star Lord felt somewhat troubled in his heart.

The twelve Disciples he had previously accepted did not display a talent that could reach Lin Yuan's level, so Red Kun Star Lord was very casual when teaching them.

"You go back first."

"Let me think about it more."

Red Kun Star Lord observed Lin Yuan for a long time, chatted with him for a few sentences, and once again fell into deep contemplation.

"Yes."

Lin Yuan bowed, and his figure disappeared on the spot.

As Lin Yuan left,

the spacious crimson palace once again had only Red Kun Star Lord alone.

"How should I train him?"

Red Kun Star Lord frowned in deep thought.

"Xiaohong."

Red Kun Star Lord suddenly spoke.

"Master, Xiaohong is here."

A mechanical voice sounded, which was precisely Red Kun Star Lord's smart assistant 'Xiaohong'.

"Eighty thousand years ago, that Rule Crystal I collected should still be here, right?" Red Kun Star Lord spoke.

"It is here, Master."

'Xiaohong' immediately replied.

"Send that Rule Crystal to my Disciple."

Red Kun Star Lord pondered for a moment and said.

"Master, that is a Rule Crystal!"

'Xiaohong' was slightly stunned. Having followed Red Kun Star Lord for a long time, it had long since evolved into an intelligent life form with its own thoughts and emotions.

"Yes."

Seeing that Red Kun Star Lord did not speak, 'Xiaohong' could only comply.

Canglan Star, Central Continent Manor.

Lin Yuan disconnected from the Virtual World.

"I don't know what matter Teacher called me over for." Lin Yuan was puzzled in his heart, guessing that his stepping into the Fifth-Order might have disrupted some of Red Kun Star Lord's plans.

However, Lin Yuan had no other way.

In front of Experts like Red Kun Star Lord, Lin Yuan simply could not conceal his own strength.

This time meeting Red Kun Star Lord, Lin Yuan didn't even synchronize the Virtual World, yet he was still detected by Red Kun Star Lord regarding his true strength.

"Mind Power."

Lin Yuan thought to himself secretly.

Mind Power is the most fundamental power of an Evolver. This time, Red Kun Star Lord sensed the Mind Power surpassing the Fourth-Order, which led him to judge that Lin Yuan had already stepped into the Fifth-Order.

Just as Lin Yuan was deep in thought,

the solemn and cold voice of the Goddess of Wisdom sounded.

"Respected Level-5 Citizen Lin Yuan, after final determination, the Fifth-Order chapter you uploaded is worth 200,000 Merit Points."

"200,000 Merit Points." A smile appeared on Lin Yuan's face.

One must know that this was not the value of the Martial Dao Evolution Path, but merely the value of the Fifth-Order chapter.

"The probability of the Martial Dao Evolution Path advancing to the Sixth-Order is ninety-five percent."

"The probability of advancing to the Seventh-Order is twenty percent, and the probability of advancing to the Eighth-Order evolution path is half a percent."

Lin Yuan immediately glanced at the updated information of the Martial Dao Evolution Path.

Along with the upload of the Fifth-Order chapter, the Goddess of Wisdom would definitely re-evaluate all information of the Martial Dao Evolution Path, ultimately arriving at the updated conclusion.

"Hm? The probability of advancing to the Sixth-Order didn't reach one hundred percent?"

Lin Yuan felt somewhat regretful.

Little did he know, among the countless evolution paths recorded by the current Human Civilization Alliance, there was simply no evolution path below the Sixth-Order that could guarantee advancement to the Sixth-Order.

For most Fifth-Order evolution paths, the probability of advancing to the Sixth-Order was only thirty to forty percent; exceeding fifty percent was already considered rare.

Now, the probability of the Martial Dao Evolution Path advancing to the Sixth-Order reached ninety-five percent. Among numerous Fifth-Order evolution paths, it was definitely considered part of the absolute top tier.

"The probability of advancing to the Seventh-Order has increased by ten percent, and there is an extra half-percent probability of advancing to the Eighth-Order."

Lin Yuan nodded slightly.

It could be seen that the Fifth-Order chapter uploaded by Lin Yuan had brought a qualitative change to the Martial Dao Evolution Path.

In fact, this was also foreseeable. After all, within the Fifth-Order chapter, the method of condensing the Primordial Spirit was definitely an incomparably rare means.

Although Lin Yuan estimated that the vast majority of future Evolvers would only condense a single Primordial Spirit, this was a means comparable to the talent 'Clone'.

"The latest ranking of the current chikun evolution chart… Fifty-third place?"

Lin Yuan glanced at the updated ranking of the Martial Dao Evolution Path.

On the Canglan Evolution Ranking, it was still first.

And on the chikun evolution chart, it had leaped from being at the tail-end of the top hundred to fifty-third place.

In fact, speaking of potential, even among the evolution paths in the top fifty of the chikun evolution chart, quite a few had a lower probability of advancing to the Eighth-Order than the Martial Dao Evolution Path.

But unfortunately, these evolution paths were basically Seventh-Order evolution paths, suppressing the Martial Dao Evolution Path by two levels.

The ranking on the Evolution Chart was determined based on numerous factors, and potential was merely one aspect.

"Advancing from a Level-5 Citizen to a Level-6 Citizen requires 500,000 Merit Points? Why don't you just go rob someone?"

Lin Yuan sighed. Even though he had created the Martial Dao Evolution Path that broke into the top fifty-three of the chikun evolution chart, adding all the Merit Points he harvested together, he was still a long way from the 500,000 Merit Points required to advance to a Level-6 Citizen.

One can imagine how difficult it was to advance to a Level-6 Citizen.

Even Lin Yuan was like this; other Evolvers would probably need to spend thousands or tens of thousands of years to gather such a massive amount of merit.

"However, high-level citizens possess numerous privileges regarding Human Civilization. To enjoy these privileges, one must make huge contributions."

Lin Yuan thought to himself secretly.

Although he couldn't gather 500,000 Merit Points this time, next time, or at most the time after next, could he really not gather them?

Crimson Kun Main Star Virtual World.

In the Central Plaza Area, numerous Evolvers chatted casually in groups of twos and threes.

Of course, the topics chatted about by most Evolvers were all centered on the Martial Dao Evolution Path.

There was no help for it. The top-hundred evolution paths on the chikun evolution chart might not change for thousands or tens of thousands of years, and everyone had talked every single evolution path on it to death.

Basically, everything that could be chatted about had been chatted about.

Meanwhile, the Martial Dao Evolution Path had just broken into the Evolution Chart not long ago, even though it only occupied the tail-end of the top hundred.

Yet it still possessed extremely high popularity, especially the shockingly fast advancement speed of the Martial Dao Evolution Path, which gave numerous Evolvers much to talk about with relish.

"I wonder which Evolutionary Grand Scholar's experimental product it is, actually to be dropped into the Chi Kun Star Region."

"An Evolutionary Grand Scholar! That is a human treasure comparable to high-order Evolvers—no, even more important than high-order Evolvers!"

Numerous Evolvers and high-level citizens discussed in low voices.

In Human Civilization, the status of an Evolutionary Grand Scholar was unimaginably high. Many Evolutionary Grand Scholars were not skilled in combat and killing, but their contributions to Human Civilization were not inferior in the slightest to those high-order Evolvers constantly fighting alien races on the border battlefield.

To become an Evolutionary Grand Scholar, the prerequisite was to pioneer a completely new Eighth-Order Evolution Path.

Or scientific inventions and discoveries equivalent to an Eighth-Order Evolution Path.

This was an evolution path capable of continuously producing Eighth-Order Evolvers, which could benefit the Human Race for millions and tens of millions of years to come.

"You guys say, when will the Martial Dao Evolution Path continue to elevate its ranking?"

A Fourth-Order Evolver asked curiously.

If the Martial Dao Evolution Path came from the hands of some Evolutionary Grand Scholar, then its final ranking would definitely not stop at the top hundred of the chikun evolution chart.

"Continue to elevate the ranking? It probably can't be done in a short time."

A Level-3 Citizen couldn't help but say.

Even an Evolutionary Grand Scholar could not casually create an evolution path with a potential reaching the Seventh-Order or even Eighth-Order.

The establishment of an evolution path required going through layers of consideration, and finally had to obtain the recognition and confirmation of the Three Goddesses.

"I feel the same way."

"Grand Scholar 'Yuan' who founded the Martial Dao Evolution Path is certainly well-read in ancient and modern times, but the Evolution Chart of our Chi Kun Star Region is not something anyone can get on. Which evolution path hasn't undergone the test of time?"

Another Evolver spoke up. He stood out, raised his hand to point at the tall and majestic chikun evolution chart, and finally stopped at the Martial Dao Evolution Path at the very end.

"I dare bet that for at least the next three years, the ranking will not change."

Before this Evolver finished speaking, the chikun evolution chart reached its daily update time.

I saw the hundred evolution paths on the Evolution Chart begin to blur.

After a few breaths,

the names of all evolution paths became clear once again.

"Eh?"

The Evolver who had stood up suddenly discovered that the evolution path he was pointing at was no longer the Martial Dao Evolution Path.

"What the heck."

This Evolver immediately realized something was wrong.

He cast his gaze directly upward.

Finally, at the fifty-third position, he found the Martial Dao Evolution Path.

At this moment,

in the Central Plaza Area,

numerous Evolvers and high-level citizens exploded into a commotion once again.

The Martial Dao Evolution Path continuously leaped dozens of places, skyrocketing from the top hundred to the top fifty-three. It simply shattered their worldview.

This was not some planetary evolution chart, but the evolution chart of the Chi Kun Star Region, which recorded all evolution paths of more than one million life planets in the entire star region.

The evolution paths capable of getting on the chikun evolution chart had all undergone numerous tests.

Not to mention leaping dozens of places at once, even leaping just one or two places was incomparably difficult, requiring a major Breakthrough to be completed somewhere.

"Fifth-Order Chapter?"

"The Martial Dao Evolution Path has updated its Fifth-Order Chapter."

"It should be this chapter that caused the ranking of the Martial Dao Evolution Path to soar violently."

"Quickly buy it to study!"

"I want to see what on earth allowed Martial Dao to directly surpass forty to fifty Sixth-Order evolution paths."

In the Central Plaza Area, immediately quite a few Evolvers began to purchase the Fifth-Order chapter of the Martial Dao Evolution Path.

Universal Human Territory.

A gigantic planet in a certain vast star region near the east.

This planet was incomparably huge, surpassing high-level life planets, with numerous research institutes built on it.

In a research institute at the very highest point, an old man wearing a white research uniform was gazing at the light screen before him.

Endless data emerged from the light screen, with numerous formulas and conclusions flashing past.

"Hm, it's almost over."

This old man closed his eyes, intending to rest for a while.

His consciousness connected to the Virtual World, entering the 'forum' of the Founder's World.

"Someone replied to the 'post' I left back then again?"

The old man's expression was somewhat surprised. 23,000 years ago, he had once left a question on the Founder's Forum.

Is it better to comprehend a single rule,

or is it better to comprehend multiple rules?

Over the years, people successively expressed their own insights under this question.

But none of those answers satisfied the old man.

"Let's take a look."

The old man immediately began to enter beneath this post.

Anyway, being idle was being idle; during rest, looking at the problems he faced in the past was also a kind of harvest.

"Naturally, it is to comprehend a single rule. How many rules are there in the world? To comprehend every single one of them, even those few high up in the Evolution High Tower couldn't do it, right?"

"Only comprehending a single rule will ultimately have limitations. If possible, one naturally has to comprehend multiple rules."

The old man flipped through the replies of recent years, continuously shaking his head. Clearly, none of the replies satisfied him.

Until he saw the very last reply.

This reply had the latest date, just over a month ago.

"Comprehend a certain rule, and then use this Dao to command all Daos."

The old man was slightly stunned, a look of surprise appearing on his face.
