“Chapter 219 mental will Index”

"Teacher, I—"

Jin Tianzhao's consciousness connected to the Virtual World, and he immediately learned the reason for Golden Dragon Star Lord's great dissatisfaction.

"That Six-Level Citizen whom the Looking Moon Star Region voted for has actually promoted to a Seven-Level Citizen, becoming the fifty-seventh senator of our Annan Star Alliance?"

Jin Tianzhao widened his eyes. He had indeed been wary of whether Lin Yuan would become a Seven-Level Citizen in the future, but he hadn't expected this day to come so fast.

That was a Seven-Level Citizen.

Not some Chinese cabbage by the roadside.

He promoted just like that? How did he scrape together two million Merit Points?

"That Shi Feng was misleading me, saying that 'Thirteen' is under a thousand years old. Fake, it's all fake."

Jin Tianzhao felt extremely grieved and indignant in his heart. Although he had an arrogant personality, it was impossible for him to casually offend a senior Six-Level Citizen.

A senior Six-Level Citizen not only had a solid network of connections, but more importantly, you had no idea how much foundation and Merit Points the other party had accumulated.

At that time, Jin Tianzhao found Lin Yuan's face unfamiliar and felt that the other party should have just been promoted to a Six-Level Citizen with little foundation.

Therefore, his attitude was slightly tougher. After all, a newly promoted Six-Level Citizen was indeed nothing in front of the Golden Dragon Star Region.

Back when Jin Tianzhao reported this to Golden Dragon Star Lord, the latter hadn't paid too much attention either.

How could he have imagined that this 'Thirteen' was actually so low-profile? I'm afraid that when he was being threatened back then, he had already almost gathered the two million Merit Points.

But the other party stubbornly said nothing.

"Teacher, what should we do now?"

Jin Tianzhao was silent for a moment, then hurriedly asked.

Accountability was of little significance now; what mattered was how to mend relations with that senator.

Although Golden Dragon Star Lord was also a Seven-Level Senator, he wasn't a fool and naturally wouldn't want to create an enemy of the same level out of thin air.

"What is the survey value of that dead resource star?"

Golden Dragon Star Lord asked.

He also knew about the dispute with the Looking Moon Star Region and tacitly allowed it.

After all, no matter how one looked at it, the strength of the Looking Moon Star Region was far inferior to the Golden Dragon Star Region.

As long as the actions of his subordinates and Disciples complied with the regulations of Human Civilization, Golden Dragon Star Lord wouldn't ask too much.

"Teacher, if that dead resource star is completely mined, it will probably yield rare resources equivalent to eleven thousand cosmic crystals."

Jin Tianzhao immediately said.

"Directly give up the eleven thousand cosmic crystals and gift them to the Looking Moon Star Region."

Golden Dragon Star Lord thought for a moment and said directly.

Offending a Seven-Level Citizen for a mere ten thousand cosmic crystals was not very cost-effective.

Furthermore, whether the Golden Dragon Star Region could finally take over this dead resource star was another matter entirely.

As long as Lin Yuan exercised the Star Alliance Senator's 'veto power', he could drag this matter out. By then, giving the Looking Moon Star Region plenty of mining time would cause the final profits of the Golden Dragon Star Region to plummet.

Since that was the case.

It was better to proactively give it up.

There was also the intention of making a gesture of goodwill to that Seven-Level Citizen.

"Give it up. Alright." Jin Tianzhao felt a pang of heartache.

Originally, according to the plan, the Golden Dragon Star Region would obtain at least seventy percent of the income from that dead resource star, which was seven to eight thousand cosmic crystals.

Golden Dragon Star Lord might not care too much about these cosmic crystals, but Disciples under his command coveted them quite a bit.

"Also, prepare a congratulatory gift to send to that senator. The value of the gift should be around one thousand cosmic crystals."

"Remember, you will deliver the gift. Don't say too much, don't do too much, just come back after delivering it."

Golden Dragon Star Lord thought for a moment and instructed.

"Should I apologize?"

Jin Tianzhao asked cautiously.

"It's enough for the gift to arrive. Actively apologizing would be too deliberate and instead have a negative effect," Golden Dragon Star Lord said, shaking his head.

"Understood."

Jin Tianzhao immediately acknowledged.

Crimson Kun Main Star.

Deep within the Thirteen Mountain Peaks main hall.

Lin Yuan sat cross-legged.

"mental will Index."

Lin Yuan carefully read the document sent by his teacher, Red Kun Star Lord.

A life form's mental will had no inevitable correlation with its own strength. Of course, the stronger the strength, the mental will would correspondingly increase, but if the strength was not strong, the mental will would not necessarily be very low.

mental will was related to a life form's own experiences and comprehension.

Over more than two million years in the sea of stars, the Evolutionary Grand Scholars of Human Civilization who researched the aspect of the mind divided mental will into a range of one to ten thousand based on the specific cases of numerous Seventh-Order and Eighth-Order Evolvers throughout past generations.

That was the mental will Index.

Only when the mental will Index reached ten thousand would one have the confidence to survive the 'Heart Demon Tribulation'.

Of course, this didn't mean that one couldn't survive the 'Heart Demon Tribulation' without a mental will Index of ten thousand; rather, Evolvers whose mental will Index reached ten thousand could basically successfully promote to the Eighth-Order.

There were also Evolvers with a mental will Index of less than ten thousand who survived the 'Heart Demon Tribulation', but they were relatively rare and could not be taken as the norm.

"mental will Index."

Lin Yuan thought to himself.

Normally, an Evolver who had just entered the Seventh-Order had a mental will Index of one.

Afterwards, along with continuous cultivation and more experiences, the mental will Index would gradually increase.

Before deliberately training one's own mental will Index, even a Seventh-Order King-class Evolver would have a mental will Index of at most a few hundred.

"Let's see my mental will Index."

Lin Yuan's consciousness connected to the Virtual World.

Since the concept of the mental will Index was created, there naturally was a method to measure it.

Lin Yuan came to his personal space and directly applied to the Goddess of Wisdom to measure his own mental will Index.

Whoosh.

In a flash.

Lin Yuan arrived in an empty white room.

All around was a vast expanse of white.

"Respected Seven-Level Citizen Lin Yuan, without using any Physical Body or Soul power, solely rely on your own mental consciousness to impact the surroundings—"

The solemn and cold voice of the Goddess of Wisdom came over.

"Only use your own mental consciousness to impact the surroundings—"

Lin Yuan's expression was thoughtful. Mental consciousness was also a type of attack method; for example, if Lin Yuan stared at a certain Sixth-Order Evolver for a long time,

even without mobilizing any power, the other party would feel cold sweat pouring down, their scalp tingling, and lose control of themselves.

This was the benefit brought by a powerful mental will.

"Begin."

Lin Yuan closed his eyes.

A massive mental will began to impact in all directions.

Invisible fluctuations swept out. If other Fifth-Order or Sixth-Order Evolvers were present, they would probably be deterred to the point of kneeling on the ground, unable to get up.

A moment later.

Lin Yuan stopped releasing his mental will.

"What is the mental will Index?"

Lin Yuan opened his eyes to check the results.

"Respected Seven-Level Citizen Lin Yuan, after testing, your current mental will Index is roughly around 7848."

"7848."

Lin Yuan nodded slightly.

Normally, a Seventh-Order King-class Evolver who had not undergone specialized training in mental will had a mental will Index of only a few hundred.

But Lin Yuan was obviously not a normal Seventh-Order King-class Evolver. Whether it was the massive Internal World, the World Power derived from it nurturing his Physical Body, Soul, and even mental will, or the six space-time traversals and the baptism of over a thousand years experienced during those traversals,

all of these had elevated Lin Yuan's mental will to a great extent.

"It's not too far from a mental will Index of ten thousand."

Lin Yuan was in a good mood.

Obtaining the exact number of his mental will Index made Lin Yuan heave a sigh of relief; at least he had a goal to move forward towards.

Virtual World.

Personal space.

After testing his mental will Index, Lin Yuan returned here.

"How to train one's own mental will Index."

Lin Yuan pondered in his heart. The Human Civilization Alliance indeed had many methods to train mental consciousness, but they all required a huge amount of time, essentially relying on living long enough to elevate one's mental will.

At this moment, Red Nose Shi Feng applied to enter. Lin Yuan chose to agree, and Shi Feng's figure appeared not far away, respectfully saying to Lin Yuan, "Lord Thirteen."

"Mn." Lin Yuan glanced at Red Nose Shi Feng and said casually.

"This is a congratulatory gift to celebrate Lord Thirteen becoming a Seven-Level Citizen," Red Nose Shi Feng immediately said.

"Between you and me, there is no need for this."

Lin Yuan shook his head slightly.

Ever since his code name appeared on the senator list of the Annan Star Alliance, the congratulatory gifts Lin Yuan received had already exceeded ten thousand, basically all coming from various Star Domain forces of the Annan Star Alliance.

There were also some Seventh-Order and Eighth-Order Evolvers.

Generally speaking, the value of a single congratulatory gift was about one hundred million cosmic coins, and Star Domain-level forces would probably send gifts worth one billion cosmic coins.

Just from these congratulatory gifts, Lin Yuan's net worth had skyrocketed several times. One hundred million cosmic coins was roughly equivalent to one unit of cosmic crystal. All the congratulatory gifts added up to over ten thousand units of cosmic crystals alone.

You must know that previously, when Lin Yuan obtained one thousand units of cosmic crystals from the inheritance of the Eighth-Order Evolver Ou Yin, he was extremely overjoyed.

In the blink of an eye, the value of the congratulatory gifts he received alone was over ten thousand units.

"This is the status of a Seven-Level Citizen."

Lin Yuan thought to himself. Although a Seven-Level Citizen had no specific authority, their status was very high, and they possessed immense privileges in certain important meetings.

The Annan Star Alliance encompassed hundreds of Star Domains, and currently there were only fifty-six living Seven-Level Citizen senators. With Lin Yuan, there were fifty-seven.

The birth of every senator was a major event for the entire Annan Star Alliance. If it weren't for Lin Yuan hiding his identity and only displaying a code name,

it was estimated that the number of congratulatory gifts received would be even greater.

"Teacher also sent me a congratulatory gift." Lin Yuan seemed to have thought of something, his gaze flashing with a trace of strangeness.

Not long ago, the Chi Kun Star Domain also sent him a congratulatory gift worth ten units of cosmic crystals.

Red Kun Star Lord was also a senator of the Annan Star Alliance, but Red Kun Star Lord usually couldn't be bothered to attend the Star Alliance Conference. At his level, how to break through to the Ninth-Order was what he cared about most.

"This time, promoting to a Seven-Level Citizen, apart from the benefits presented officially by Human Civilization, the total value of gifts sent by others alone was close to twenty thousand units of cosmic crystals."

Lin Yuan calculated in his heart.

Among them, the congratulatory gift from the Looking Moon Star Region side was the bulk. Aside from the original remuneration of three thousand units of cosmic crystals,

upon learning that the Golden Dragon Star Region proactively gave up that dead resource star, the Looking Moon Star Lord sent another two thousand units of cosmic crystals as a congratulatory gift.

Counting the previous investments made to win over Lin Yuan's vote, the Looking Moon Star Region could be said to have spent a fortune.

Coupled with the Golden Dragon Star Region, perhaps carrying the intention of bowing its head, proactively sending over a congratulatory gift worth one thousand units of cosmic crystals.

All the congratulatory gifts added together had a total value of 19,862 units of cosmic crystals.

"The wealth-accumulating speed of high-level citizens is too exaggerated."

Lin Yuan felt a slight emotional stirring in his heart.

You must know that the Eighth-Order Evolver Ou Yin only had one thousand units of cosmic crystals in his entire net worth. Of course, this was partly because Ou Yin used most of his cosmic crystals to exchange and purchase that Eighth-Order Soul defense treasure.

But it could also show the amount of 'circulating cosmic crystals' of a normal Eighth-Order Evolver.

Of course, Ou Yin was an Eighth-Order Evolver from a million years ago. Nowadays, the Eighth-Order Evolvers of the Human Civilization Alliance were much wealthier, but the cosmic crystals that an ordinary Eighth-Order Evolver could use at will definitely did not exceed five thousand units.

The cosmic crystals currently in Lin Yuan's hands, coupled with what he had accumulated previously, amounted to tens of thousands of units. Even among Eighth-Order Evolvers, he could be considered wealthy.

"With these cosmic crystals, I can indeed purchase some cosmic rare treasures to make up for my Internal World."

Lin Yuan thought silently in his heart.

An Eighth-Order Evolver's Internal World was initially just a world shell, which needed continuous improvement—improvement in rule comprehension, improvement in material treasures, and so on.

For instance, a cosmic rare treasure named 'Quick-sand Water' placed into the Internal World could make the operation of the Internal World have the nourishment of the Origin of Water.

Deep within the Thirteen Mountain Peaks main hall.

Lin Yuan was just about to perceive the changes in his Internal World.

When he discovered that Senior Brother and the other Senior Brothers had returned to the Crimson Kun Main Star.

"Senior Brother and the others are back?" Lin Yuan immediately got up, intending to visit his Senior Brothers.

Some time ago, in order to attract the attention of Human Civilization, the Zerg race launched cleansing activities against Human Evolvers on multiple Alien Race Battlefields.

Many Sixth-Order, Seventh-Order, and even Eighth-Order Evolvers died in that cleansing.

Afterwards, the Human Civilization Alliance reacted and immediately mobilized Evolvers within numerous Star Domains to begin liquidating the alien races on the battlefield.

Senior Brother, Second Senior Brother, and the other Senior Brothers led their respective Evolver armies to the Alien Race Battlefield.

"Has the liquidation ended?"

Lin Yuan guessed in his heart and soon converged with his Senior Brothers.

"Junior Brother."

"Junior Brother, you're here."

Seeing Lin Yuan, the twelve Senior Brothers all revealed smiles on their faces.

"Junior Brother."

Senior Brother looked at Lin Yuan and greeted him.

"Senior Brother, you?"

Lin Yuan carefully observed Senior Brother, his expression changing slightly.

With his vision and perception, he vaguely sensed that a chilly aura permeated Senior Brother's body, seemingly as if he had suffered some injury.

"As expected of Junior Brother."

"You saw it out so quickly."

"This time on the Alien Race Battlefield, Senior Brother almost provoked an Eighth-Order alien race to make a move. Although nothing happened in the end, he was still affected to some extent."

"That Eighth-Order alien race excels at Soul attacks. Fortunately, Senior Brother had a Soul defense treasure to protect himself, otherwise it would have been miserable."

The other Senior Brothers spoke in turn, explaining the reason to Lin Yuan.

"Soul attack?"

Lin Yuan's expression changed slightly.

Soul attacks were bizarre and unpredictable. Back then, the Eighth-Order Evolver Ou Yin fell precisely because of a Soul attack.

Even Lin Yuan attached great importance to defense in the aspect of the Soul. Among the shaping of Primal Refined Gold, Soul defense was also included.

"It's fine. Teacher has already checked it, there's no problem, and I'll recover after a while," Senior Brother waved his hand and said.
