Chapter 151: Starting the Fifth Shuttle

"What is the situation?"

"Where is the Rank 6 Chapter?"

"Where is the Rank 6 Chapter of my Martial Dao Evolution Path?"

"Did the Virtual World not update? Or is it a network issue?"

Countless Evolvers were in an uproar.

In everyone's view, this time the Martial Dao Evolution Path was able to leap over forty places, surging from its original fifty-third place into the twelfth place.

The only possibility was the uploaded Rank 6 Chapter.

Without the enhancement of the Rank 6 Chapter to the entire evolution path, what could the Martial Dao Evolution Path rely on to charge into the twelfth place of the chikun evolution chart?

In fact, even if the Martial Dao Evolution Path had uploaded the Rank 6 Chapter, for the ranking on the evolution chart to rise by so much all at once was still unbelievable.

But no matter how unbelievable, it could still be understood. After all, with the addition of the Rank 6 Chapter, the Martial Dao Evolution Path would be a Rank 6 evolution path, possessing such a large room for improvement. Thinking about it carefully, it was logical.

But now?

No Rank 6 Chapter?

Without a Rank 6 Chapter, you managed to charge into twelfth place?

At the very beginning, many Evolvers thought that the Virtual World update was 'delayed', or that there was a network latency in their location.

Which caused them not to see the 'Rank 6 Chapter'.

However, after communicating and discovering that others similarly did not see the 'Rank 6 Chapter', they instantly froze.

If it were only one or two Evolvers who hadn't discovered the Rank 6 Chapter,

it could still be caused by other factors, belonging to an isolated case, perhaps network latency.

But everyone hadn't seen the Rank 6 Chapter.

Then there was only one possibility.

That was, the Martial Dao Evolution Path did not have a Rank 6 Chapter.

But this possibility gave rise to another matter.

An even more unbelievable matter.

How did the Martial Dao Evolution Path without a Rank 6 Chapter manage to charge into the twelfth place of the chikun evolution chart?

If it was said that a Martial Dao Evolution Path at merely Rank 5 charging into the fifty-third place of the chikun evolution chart was like a primary school student mixed into a group of university students,

making it extremely conspicuous,

then a Martial Dao Evolution Path that was still only at Rank 5 charging into the top fifty, charging into the top twelve,

was no different from an infant with a pacifier mixed into a group of Ph.D.s?

How the hell was this possible?

"What on earth is going on?"

"Without uploading the Rank 6 Chapter, how did the Martial Dao Evolution Path reach twelfth place?"

"Huh? The Martial Dao Evolution Path seems to have been modified somewhat; the word count and length from the Rank 2 Chapter to the Rank 5 Chapter have both changed?"

"Modifications are very normal. The evolution paths on the evolution chart are not unchangeable and occasionally some content is modified, but that still cannot explain how the Martial Dao Evolution Path reached twelfth place?"

"Perhaps the reason lies within the modified content?"

Many Evolvers and high-ranking citizens gradually discovered that the content length of the Rank 2 Chapter to the Rank 5 Chapter they had previously purchased had changed.

Thus, everyone subconsciously started reading them again.

"Th-Th-This, how is this possible?"

"The Martial Dao Evolution Path can incorporate any energy system?"

"It's too unbelievable. No wonder it significantly boosted its ranking on the leaderboard. This kind of qualitative change makes the potential of the Martial Dao Evolution Path…"

A certain Rank 6 Evolver's expression slightly changed.

With his discernment, he could barely see what kind of impact this modification of the Martial Dao Evolution Path would ultimately cause.

If the Martial Dao Evolution Path was no longer limited to Taiyin and Taiyang, then many Evolvers of Human Civilization who cultivated the Martial Dao Evolution Path would all benefit from this and could walk the path they excelled at. This would bring a qualitative Breakthrough to the probability of producing high-Rank Evolvers.

No wonder the Martial Dao Evolution Path, before even uploading Rank 6, was able to charge into the top twelve of the chikun evolution chart.

No wonder that Evolutionary Grand Scholar who created the Martial Dao Evolution Path specifically updated it.

Because this was too important for Martial Dao Evolvers.

"As expected of an Evolutionary Grand Scholar, he actually expanded the Martial Dao Evolution Path to such a height."

"No, my perception of Taiyin and Taiyang was rough before, which is why I didn't take the Martial Dao Evolution Path. Now that the Martial Dao Evolution Path can still be cultivated without comprehending Taiyin and Taiyang, I want to change my evolution path."

"Me too. This is the masterpiece of an Evolutionary Grand Scholar after all; following it to Cultivate definitely won't be wrong anyway."

Many Evolvers successively left the Central Plaza Area, evidently to pass this news on to the Family forces behind them.

On the Crimson Kun Main Star, inside the palace at the top of the Thirteen Mountain Peaks.

Lin Yuan sat cross-legged.

"Five hundred thousand Merit Points."

"I can be promoted to a Level 6 citizen."

A smile appeared on Lin Yuan's face.

For the perfected Martial Dao Evolution Path, the Goddess of Wisdom gave a huge reward of five hundred thousand Merit Points.

You must know that the acquisition channels for Merit Points were just those few.

Every single one of them required making contributions to Human Civilization in order to be bestowed.

Aside from creating and perfecting a brand new evolution path like Lin Yuan,

or developing other scientific inventions beneficial to Human Civilization,

the most primary channel was to go to the Alien Race Battlefield to kill alien races in exchange for Merit Points.

According to what Lin Yuan knew, killing alien Experts would grant the corresponding amount of Merit Points.

A Rank 6 alien expert was worth one thousand Merit Points.

A Rank 7 alien expert was worth ten thousand to one hundred thousand Merit Points.

A Rank 8 alien expert was worth over a million Merit Points.

The five hundred thousand Merit Points Lin Yuan obtained were equivalent to half a Rank 8 alien expert? Or dozens of Rank 7 alien Experts?

Of course, killing alien Experts was only one of the ways to obtain Merit Points.

On the Alien Race Battlefield, if one could lead an army of Evolvers to achieve victory in a localized war against the alien races,

even if not a single alien expert was killed, one could still obtain the corresponding Merit Points.

"Too dangerous."

Lin Yuan slightly shook his head.

On the Alien Race Battlefield, Merit Points sounded easy to get.

Killing a Rank 6 alien expert could grant one thousand.

But in reality, Rank 6 alien Experts would not wait for you to come and kill them.

That required Evolvers to risk their lives.

A Rank 6 Evolver wanting to kill a Rank 6 alien expert

truly needed to pay an extremely heavy price, and that alien Rank 6 expert was not a fool either; after realizing they were no match, they would also run away.

Defeating a Rank 6 alien was easy.

Killing them was difficult.

Furthermore, alien Experts often wouldn't be alone.

Instead, they moved in groups.

Under such circumstances, it was really hard to kill them.

Rank 6 aliens were like this.

Let alone Rank 7 and Rank 8.

Ten thousand years ago, the Red Kun Star Lord because his youngest Disciple was assassinated,

descended onto the Alien Race Battlefield and went on a killing spree.

But most of what he killed were aliens below Rank 6.

That was to say, cannon fodder.

The truly powerful aliens would have run away long ago if they could.

Moreover, after the Red Kun Star Lord slaughtered for a while, he was blocked by alien Experts of the same tier.

The alien races capable of warring with Human Civilization and remaining in a stalemate were all extremely powerful alien races; even if they were inferior to the Zerg, they weren't far behind.

"Let's upgrade to a Level 6 citizen."

Lin Yuan's thoughts stirred slightly.

His citizen Rank instantly rose from a Level 5 citizen to a Level 6 citizen.

Going from a Level 5 citizen to a Level 6 citizen required five hundred thousand Merit Points, which Lin Yuan had already saved up by perfecting the Martial Dao Evolution Path.

Hum.

A moment later.

Lin Yuan successfully became a Level 6 citizen.

At the same time.

An 'email' from the Human Civilization Alliance was sent to Lin Yuan's inbox.

The content of the email roughly introduced many privileges of Level 6 citizens.

Most of the privileges of Level 6 citizens were upgraded versions of Level 5 citizen privileges.

In addition.

Compared to Level 5 citizens, Level 6 citizens had one more welfare and one qualification.

The welfare was that upon promoting to a Level 6 citizen, one would receive a bottle of evolution potion issued by Human Civilization.

A Rank 6 Evolution Potion.

The function of this evolution potion was to forcibly elevate an Evolver's Physical Body and Soul to the Rank 6 tier.

Of course, it was only an upgrade to the Physical Body and Soul. As for the comprehension of rules and the understanding of the evolution path, nothing would change, and this wasn't something external objects could elevate.

The reason for having this welfare was to consider those scientists and developers who were not adept at the path of evolution.

These scientists and developers might have made huge contributions to Human Civilization, but they didn't have much evolution talent, only being Rank 2 or Rank 3 Evolvers.

As for taking Gene Potions and the like, there was a risk of death.

Therefore, as long as the citizen Rank reached Level 6, one could obtain the Rank 6 Evolution Potion.

After taking the Rank 6 Evolution Potion, there were no risks whatsoever, and the Physical Body and Soul would undergo a perfect transformation.

Of course, Human Civilization bestowing such welfare to Level 6 citizens was essentially still to let Level 6 citizens live for several thousand to tens of thousands of years longer.

So they could continue to make contributions to Human Civilization.

"Rank 6 Evolution Potion."

Lin Yuan's expression was filled with amazement. Such a rare treasure that could allow an ordinary person to step into the heavens in a single bound and become a Rank 6 Evolver was undoubtedly priceless and hard to find.

At least when Lin Yuan was a Level 5 citizen, he had never seen such a commodity on the mall app; obviously, his authority wasn't high enough.

"However, an Evolver who stepped into Rank 6 by taking the Rank 6 Evolution Potion would probably have combat power at the very bottom of Rank 6."

Lin Yuan knew this well.

The combat power of a Rank 6 Evolver consisted of multiple aspects.

First is the basic strength at the Rank 6 tier.

Second is the secret techniques mastered and driven.

Third is the degree of comprehension of rules.

Fourth is the strength of their self-cultivated evolution path.

Evolvers who took the Rank 6 Evolution Potion only mastered the basic strength at the Rank 6 tier.

The second privilege, or qualification, of a Level 6 citizen was being able to participate in the once-a-century Star Alliance Conference.

The so-called Star Alliance was an Alliance composed of multiple Star Domains.

The current Chi Kun Star Region belonged to the 'Annan' Star Alliance.

As for the Star Alliance Conference, it was officially initiated by the Annan Star Alliance, and only Level 6 citizens and above could participate.

At the Star Alliance Conference, all participating citizens could put forward their own proposals.

The proposals here could be big or small.

If small, they were aimed at one's own welfare.

For example, a certain Level 6 citizen suggested that they lacked a battleship for transportation, and thus applied to the Annan Star Alliance.

The Annan Star Alliance would most likely 'allocate' a battleship to this Level 6 citizen.

If big, it was to modify a certain regulation within the Annan Star Alliance. For instance, a certain Level 6 citizen felt that the death penalty was inhumane and wanted to abolish it.

The Annan Star Alliance would consider this proposal and ultimately give one of three replies: consent, rejection, or reservation.

Of course, the regulations here only referred to internal regulations within the Star Alliance.

As for the charters and bills promulgated by the Cosmic Human Alliance, they were not something Level 6 citizens could question.

"Star Alliance Conference?"

Lin Yuan's expression was contemplative.

Such a conference symbolized the highest power of a Star Alliance, and only Level 6 citizens who had made significant contributions to Human Civilization were qualified to participate.

Carefully reading through the many privileges of Level 6 citizens,

Lin Yuan stood up and walked out of the palace.

"Take me to see Teacher."

Lin Yuan glanced at the steward outside the palace.

"Yes."

"Peak Master Lord, please follow me."

This steward had a respectful attitude and led Lin Yuan toward the largest Mountain Peak in the center.

"Greetings, Teacher."

Inside the crimson-red palace,

Lin Yuan slightly bowed toward the Red Kun Star Lord sitting on the throne and said.

"Hahahaha."

"Good Disciple, quickly get up."

The Red Kun Star Lord immediately said.

His gaze towards Lin Yuan grew increasingly satisfied.

Lin Yuan was too impressive; during this period of time, he didn't know how much face he had won for him. Although those old fellows didn't say it out loud, their tones were sour, wishing they could snatch Lin Yuan away and take him as their own Disciple.

"How do you feel?"

"Are you still getting used to it?"

The Red Kun Star Lord asked with concern.

It was Lin Yuan's first time coming to the Crimson Kun Main Star, and he might find it a bit unaccustomed.

"Not bad."

Lin Yuan nodded.

"That's fine then."

A smile appeared on the Red Kun Star Lord's face.

"If you have any questions, tell Teacher directly."

The Red Kun Star Lord said.

Next,

Lin Yuan chatted with the Red Kun Star Lord for a while longer before standing up and leaving.

On the Thirteen Mountain Peaks,

Lin Yuan gathered together with his twelve Senior Brothers.

"Congratulations, Junior Brother."

"Hahahaha, I finally got to see Junior Brother in person."

The twelve Senior Brothers were extremely enthusiastic.

"That's right, Junior Brother."

Senior Brother asked, "As for that Hei Yu Mo, do you plan to see him or not?"

As soon as these words were spoken,

the rest of the Senior Brothers instantly quieted down.

They all looked toward Lin Yuan.

"Hei Yu Mo?"

Lin Yuan thought for a moment, "Let's not see him after all; there's nothing much to say."

Lin Yuan had no intention of seeing Hei Yu Mo at all.

"Understood."

Senior Brother said, upon nodding.

If Lin Yuan were willing to see Hei Yu Mo,

it would mean there was room for easing tensions between the two.

It was merely a matter of how much price Hei Yu Mo would pay.

But being unwilling even to see him made the meaning very obvious.

"This Black Prison Family should be investigated."

Senior Brother said meaningfully.

"Leave this to me. The Black Prison Family will halt all commercial activities, and all members are forbidden from leaving their current planets, accepting the supervision of the Chi Kun lineage."

Senior Brother said.

These words also pronounced the end of the Black Prison Family.

The Black Prison Family had a far-reaching influence in the Chi Kun Star Region; directly suppressing them would have a bad impact.

But under the guise of supervision, ordering them to halt all activities was equivalent to slicing meat with a dull knife.

Decline was a matter of sooner or later.

To the Chi Kun lineage, the Black Prison Family was just a dog raised outside.

If this dog became disobedient, changing to another dog would suffice.

Now this dog actually bit its master, so it could no longer be kept.

"Many thanks, Senior Brothers."

Lin Yuan said solemnly.

"What is there to thank?"

"You and I are fellow apprentice brothers, we will still need to support each other in the future."

"Right, what is this?"

The twelve Senior Brothers said with chuckles.

Half a day later.

Lin Yuan returned to his closed-door cultivation palace once again.

"Things are basically all done."

"I can proceed with the shuttle."

Lin Yuan reined in his thoughts, his mind sinking into his consciousness as he arrived before that towering and magnificent Gate of Myriad Realms.

"Let's first take a look at some information regarding this shuttle."

Lin Yuan split off a trace of his mind, merging it into the Gate of Myriad Realms.

In a trance,

Lin Yuan arrived before a huge and boundless world.

"This world…"

In a fleeting glance, Lin Yuan saw an immortal mountain wreathed in Immortal Qi, a wasteland permeated with ghostly Qi, and a giant nest shrouded in deep demonic power.

"This world…"

Outside the Gate of Myriad Realms, Lin Yuan's expression was grave.

Through checking with a trace of his mind, he knew that this shuttle's residency time would be five hundred years, and the passage of time in the Main World would probably spend three to four months.

"Let's begin."

Lin Yuan's mind returned, and after preparing slightly, he announced to the outside world that he was beginning closed-door cultivation.

Finally, his mind came before the Gate of Myriad Realms once more. With a slight shift in his thoughts, the Gate of Myriad Realms emitted a suction force, pulling Lin Yuan's consciousness into it.

Two chapters completed.

This volume has ended.

Starting tomorrow, the next volume is 'Contention for the Dao'.
