Chapter 134 Black Prison Family
"That's right."
"With Mr. Lin's talent and capability, Canglan Star is too small after all."
"However, as a medium-level life planet, our Xiangwen Group is overseen by a Tier 6 Falling Star, which is the true stage suitable for Mr. Lin Yuan."
The blond middle-aged man smiled and continued:
"Besides, Lord Xiangwen values Mr. Lin quite a bit, and might even step forward to offer a few pointers in the future."
Lord Xiangwen
was the Tier 6 Falling Star behind the Xiangwen Group.
The guidance of a Tier 6 Evolver was a great Opportunity for the vast majority of Evolvers.
Tier 6 Evolvers possessed the power to make stars fall,
and from their height and perspective, just a few casual pointers
could possibly trigger an Epiphany for Tier 4 and Tier 5 Evolvers.
The blond middle-aged man believed that Lin Yuan could hardly ignore this condition.
Lin Yuan's Aptitude was indeed good,
stepping into Tier 4 before the age of one hundred, with a high possibility of becoming a Tier 5 Evolver in the future.
But that was all.
Wanting to go a step further and Breakthrough to the Tier 6 level still held slim hopes.
Therefore,
he definitely wouldn't miss the guidance of a Tier 6 Evolver.
"Sorry, I am not interested in joining other forces." Lin Yuan shook his head and said.
What a joke?
According to the blond middle-aged man's meaning, joining the Xiangwen Group would definitely require signing many contracts.
It might even require Lin Yuan to personally travel to the headquarters of the Xiangwen Group for review.
Moreover, the conditions offered by the blond middle-aged man were certainly attractive to ordinary Tier 4 Evolvers, but to Lin Yuan?
Besides,
Lin Yuan's true identity was the Thirteenth Peak Lord of the Chi Kun lineage,
which was about the same as a prince of an Empire, and a real-power prince at that.
If he joined the Xiangwen Group, it would be equivalent to risking his life for other Star Domains to participate in the arena match.
What kind of talk was that?
"Mr. Lin, won't you even consider it?" The blond middle-aged man's expression changed slightly.
Although the Xiangwen Group was not in the Chi Kun Star Region, it was after all a major force overseen by a Tier 6 Falling Star.
Even if Lin Yuan had other choices and wouldn't join the Xiangwen Group, there was no need to say it so directly.
Phrasing it more tactfully would make things look better for everyone.
"I said, I'm not interested, and I won't continue considering it."
Lin Yuan shook his head; his most important matter right now was to step into Tier 6 as soon as possible.
Everything else unrelated to the Breakthrough was trivial.
"Fine."
"If Lord Xiangwen knows about this, he should be very disappointed."
The blond middle-aged man's expression turned somewhat ugly, and he stood up to leave.
"What's wrong?"
"Could your Lord Xiangwen possibly come over to teach me a lesson?"
Lin Yuan said.
The Cosmic Human Alliance had sound laws, and the stronger the Evolver, the greater the restrictions they faced.
Even those high and mighty Evolutionary Grand Scholars could not act recklessly, let alone a Tier 6?
As long as that Lord Xiangwen dared to come to Canglan Star and show the intention to strike at Lin Yuan,
Lin Yuan would… would report him to the Goddess of Wisdom.
Couldn't beat you? Could he not even report you?
Of course,
Lin Yuan felt that the possibility of that Lord Xiangwen coming over was not high.
That Lord Xiangwen might not even know a person named Lin Yuan.
"I hope Mr. Lin's Evolution Path can always be smooth." The blond middle-aged man's complexion was livid.
The implication was for Lin Yuan not to have anything to ask the Xiangwen Group for in the future.
"Scram."
Lin Yuan directly kicked the blond middle-aged man out of the personal room.
As long as Lin Yuan stepped into Tier 6, he could make public his identity as the Chi Kun lineage Thirteen Peak Lords.
By then, forces at the level of the Xiangwen Group would crawl over to fawn on Lin Yuan and it still wouldn't be fast enough.
Personal Space.
Lin Yuan sat alone on a wooden chair.
"Arena match"
Lin Yuan had a thoughtful expression.
The arena match was one of the hottest and most watched activities in the Human Alliance.
And being hot and watched meant huge traffic.
A series of industrial chains derived from this, involving huge amounts of money.
Why did the Xiangwen Group, or other major forces and financial conglomerates, specially Cultivate team after team to participate in various arena matches?
Could it really just be for honor or something?
Naturally not!
As long as an Evolver could fight their way into a certain ranking in the arena match, such as the top hundred or top ten, they would inevitably receive a massive amount of attention.
At this time, casually placing an advertisement, or having the logo of a certain conglomerate printed on their clothes, the heat brought by that would inevitably be terrifyingly high.
Moreover, advertising was only the most ordinary means of monetization.
In every arena match, there was also a 'casino' set up in advance.
Before the match, you select a contestant you think can win, and if the result turns out to be so, you will receive a bonus with a certain multiplier.
Of course,
to ensure fairness,
under the detection of the Goddess of Wisdom, the possibility of 'match-fixing' was almost eliminated.
Exactly because of this, major forces and financial conglomerates were very enthusiastic about searching for potential Evolvers on various inconspicuous medium-level life planets, and then supporting them to participate in galaxy-level and Star Domain-level arena matches.
These Evolvers from medium-level life planets had low exposure and had not undergone systematic training.
If they received cultivation and support from major forces, their strength would increase by a significant margin in a short period of time.
When the Star Domain-level arena match began, they would enter the scene with the posture of a 'dark horse'.
After all, in the eyes of the vast majority of citizens, a contestant who already possessed no small reputation and had achieved ten or twenty consecutive wins, battling a contestant they had never heard of before—
most citizens would definitely bet on the former to win.
In addition to the above two,
there were many other ways to make a profit in the arena match, the most enduring of which was gathering fans and cultivating them into star Evolvers.
The top star Evolvers in the current Cosmic Human Alliance had countless fans, many of whom were the second-generation descendants of those major forces.
The influence caused by their every move was shocking.
"So, in the eyes of those financial conglomerates, I already have the qualifications to become a 'dark horse'?"
Lin Yuan touched his chin and shook his head slightly.
In fact, that was indeed the case. In the previous arena match, even if Lin Yuan only displayed a portion of his strength, it was still Tier 4.
A Tier 4 Evolver under the age of one hundred might be somewhat common in those prosperous high-level life planets.
But on a medium-level life planet like Canglan Star, it was almost rare for one to appear even once every tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of years.
The education, cultivation, and resources of medium-level life planets were far inferior to high-level life planets.
Being able to step into Tier 4 in such an environment, whether it was an Opportunity or luck, was not much weaker than the top evolutionary geniuses of high-level life planets.
Therefore, Lin Yuan was valued by the Xiangwen Group, which specially sent people over to invite him.
"The Goddess of Wisdom tacitly allows such things to happen because the invitations of major forces and major groups might impose restrictions on evolutionary geniuses, but they also Cultivate these Evolvers."
"Moreover, constrained by Human Civilization regulations, the contracts signed between these financial conglomerates and evolutionary geniuses will not be too excessive, and even if they breach the contract, the liquidated damages paid will not be an astronomical price."
Lin Yuan thought to himself.
To reap rewards, one had to give; this was the unspoken rule defaulted by the Human Alliance.
Wanting to rely on one's identity as a Genius to willfully take advantage and not abide by contract terms, the Three Goddesses would not support it either.
"My Soul compatibility right now…"
Lin Yuan's consciousness returned to reality, and he carefully sensed it.
"It has completed about eight percent. According to this speed, in at most two years, it will reach Perfection compatibility, and I can officially step into Tier 6."
A smile appeared on Lin Yuan's face.
Tier 6 had special significance for any Evolver.
Below Tier 6, no matter how powerful a life form was, it was only a surface life form, needing to rely on the environment inside the planet to survive.
Once they left the planet and came into the starry sky, it was difficult to continue surviving.
And upon reaching Tier 6, they could roam the sea of stars; all Tier 6 Evolvers were also called starry sky life forms.
In addition, Tier 6 was also a stage of qualitative change in strength.
Why did Lin Yuan only need to Cultivate to Tier 6 to make public his identity as the Thirteenth Peak Lord of the Chi Kun lineage?
It was because Tier 6 Evolvers were already very difficult to assassinate; at least their life-saving means far exceeded the previous Tier 5.
Generally speaking, unless it was a last resort, alien races would not assassinate a Tier 6 Evolver, as the price paid was too great, equivalent to the cost of cultivating dozens of Tier 7 Experts.
In the end, they might not even be able to kill that Tier 6 Evolver.
"The conversion speed of Soul compatibility is not stable. It might be very fast in the early stage and slow down later, or it might be very slow in the early stage and speed up later."
"My current compatibility conversion is still considered normal."
Lin Yuan continued to observe.
"However, as long as Soul compatibility hasn't reached one-tenth, it can be suspended, choosing other Evolution Paths for compatibility."
After stepping into Tier 6, the cost of changing the Evolution Path would skyrocket.
But strictly speaking, Lin Yuan had not stepped into Tier 6 yet; he was still Tier 5.
"Among the many Evolution Paths I currently master, the most powerful is undoubtedly the Profound Yellow Evolution Path. If I use this Evolution Path as the Soul transformation direction…"
Lin Yuan pondered for a moment and immediately abandoned this thought.
No matter how powerful the Profound Yellow Evolution Path was, it was not created by Lin Yuan. Using this Evolution Path as his fundamental Evolution Path might bring great benefits in the short term.
But lengthening the timeline, it might not necessarily be a good thing.
Lin Yuan still felt more at ease with the Martial Dao Evolution Path.
The Profound Yellow Evolution Path could be comprehended and concurrently practiced, but it could never be used as the foundation.
All other Evolution Paths were the same; including the Profound Yellow Evolution Path, they could only become nourishment for perfecting the Martial Dao Evolution Path.
"Let's continue to perfect the Martial Dao Evolution Path."
Lin Yuan's mind continued to sink into the Martial Dao Evolution Path.
In Lin Yuan's latest conception, the Martial Dao Evolution Path no longer had things like the Taiyin Chapter, the Taiyang Chapter, or the Yin-Yang Chapter.
Numerous attribute powers could be incorporated into the Martial Dao Evolution System.
Whichever attribute an Evolver was good at, they could enter Martial Dao to Cultivate.
Martial Dao should not be so small, but should be infinitely vast.
Lin Yuan found that when perfecting the Martial Dao Evolution Path in this direction, the conversion speed of his own Soul compatibility would receive a certain margin of improvement.
Next.
Lin Yuan, while perfecting the Martial Dao Evolution System, watched the crimson 'stone' sent by the Red Kun Star Lord.
In his spare time,
he refused invitations from financial conglomerate forces of various Star Domains.
Besides the Xiangwen Group noticing that Lin Yuan had the potential to become a 'dark horse', other forces naturally noticed it too.
In the interstellar era, slightly powerful forces all had their own think tanks, making planning actions that best suited their own interests based on information and intelligence from Human Civilization and even other alien races at all times.
Lin Yuan was a Tier 4 under the age of one hundred, and came from a medium-level life planet. With great potential, his cost was also not high.
Naturally, he was very 'welcome'.
As for the invitations from these forces,
at first Lin Yuan reluctantly spared time to meet them.
Express his attitude clearly.
But in the end, the frequency was simply too high.
Lin Yuan simply refused to see them, letting the intelligent assistant handle it.
"If I had told the outside world that I had passed the Seven Stars Cave test back then…"
Lin Yuan shook his head slightly.
If it was just like Fang Qing, passing the test and becoming a formal member of the Chi Kun lineage,
these forces probably wouldn't invite him like this.
After all, as a formal member of the Chi Kun lineage, how could there be any logic in risking one's life for other forces?
The Chi Kun lineage was the most powerful force.
It's just that in this way, Lin Yuan would need to take a spaceship and battleship together with Fang Qing and those who passed the test to go to the Crimson Kun Main Star.
This was also the normal process for joining the Chi Kun lineage in past sessions.
Lin Yuan being able to stay on Canglan Star all along was entirely because he was the Thirteenth Peak Lord, enjoying many privileges. Even the gift given to him by the Red Kun Star Lord required specifically paying 100 billion civilization coins to commission the 'Shuntong' Group to send it over.
This day.
Lin Yuan had just finished Cultivating.
The intelligent assistant's voice came over.
"Master, the person visiting this time comes from the Black Prison Family, and is the three thousand eight hundred and twenty-first son of Hei Yu Mo, a close confidant under Hei Yu Ao."
"Black Prison Family?" Lin Yuan frowned slightly.
The Black Prison Family was a force in the Chi Kun Star Region. Among the many forces outside the Chi Kun lineage, the Black Prison Family could rank in the top five.
The strongest expert of the Black Prison Family, Hei Yu Mo, was even an existence surpassing Tier 6.
"Black Prison Family." Lin Yuan pondered for a while.
"Let's meet them."
Other forces and financial conglomerates could be ignored by Lin Yuan, firstly because most of them were Tier 6 forces.
And for Lin Yuan, becoming a Tier 6 Evolver was only a matter of time.
Secondly, most of those inviting Lin Yuan were group forces outside the Chi Kun Star Region, and there was no need to be too close.
But the Black Prison Family was different. As a local force of the Chi Kun Star Region, when Lin Yuan stepped into Tier 6 in the future and made his identity public, he might still need to deal with them.
Swoosh.
Lin Yuan's consciousness connected to the Virtual World.
Personal Space.
Lin Yuan agreed to enter.
An old man wearing a black formal suit, as elegant as a noble, appeared before him.
"Bei Zhao greets Mr. Lin Yuan on behalf of my young master, Hei Yu Ao."
The black-suited old man Bei Zhao had a very low posture and a slightly respectful tone.
Then he stated the conditions for inviting Lin Yuan to join under Hei Yu Ao.
"I am temporarily not very interested in the arena match, sorry."
Lin Yuan said, trying to soften his tone.
"I see."
The black-suited old man Bei Zhao's expression could not be seen to change.
After standing up to say goodbye, he disappeared on the spot.
"Quite easy to talk to?"
Lin Yuan slightly nodded.
When those forces previously sent people to invite him, after being rejected, most of them would carry out some threats and hints.
Inside a gorgeous palace,
Hei Yu Ao sat upright on the throne, meditating with his eyes closed.
Just at this moment, the figure of the black-suited old man Bei Zhao appeared.
"Which tier of contract did that Lin Yuan choose?" Hei Yu Ao said casually.
Before sending Bei Zhao to invite Lin Yuan, Hei Yu Ao had set five tiers of contracts.
The higher the contract tier, the higher the support for Lin Yuan.
At the same time, the restrictions were also greater.
As for which tier of contract, Lin Yuan was free to choose.
"Young Master."
The black-suited old man Bei Zhao bowed slightly.
"Lin Yuan rejected the Young Master's invitation."
The old man in the black suit said in a low voice.
"Rejected my invitation?"
On the throne, Hei Yu Ao was slightly stunned.
He lowered his head to look at the black-suited old man Bei Zhao.
