"This is the one."

Lin Yuan looked toward the edge of the map, at a Star Domain that had just been incorporated into Human Civilization's territory, making up his mind.

Human Civilization expands externally without pause, with vast galaxy clusters integrated into its territory every day.

To integrate these galaxies and Star Domains into Human Civilization as much as possible, powerful Experts of sufficient weight are needed to preside over them and facilitate large-scale immigration.

And Experts of sufficient weight… an Eighth-Order Evolver would meet the criteria.

Generally, wars between the various races in the Cosmic Starry Sky are capped at the Eighth Order. Ninth-Order Evolvers? Unless a large-scale war breaks out, like recently when Human Civilization conducted a purge against the many races of the Zerg Grand Alliance.

They deployed Ninth-Order or even stronger Evolvers.

But this was a rare case, caused by the Zerg attempting to monopolize a supreme evolution path that lacked an Ultimate Existence.

Thus provoking the wrath of Human Civilization.

The Zerg had self-awareness regarding this; facing Human Civilization's purge, they did not resist fiercely. Otherwise, it would have triggered a full-scale war between two Peak Group grand Alliances.

Therefore, in normal-scale warfare, Eighth-Order combat power is the upper limit. As for Tier 9 or Tier 10? Even on large Alien Race Battlefields, Tier 9 and Tier 10 Experts rarely intervene lightly.

Human Civilization stationing Eighth-Order Evolvers in frontier Star Domains is already a sign of substantial importance.

"This Star Domain has twelve galaxies. Initial surveys show up to 1.5 million habitable life planets suitable for normal humans, and over ten billion resource planets of various types."

Lin Yuan carefully perused the detailed information on this Star Domain. Since only initial surveys had been conducted, much of the information was imprecise, but it was enough for him to get a general understanding.

Overall, the Star Domain he selected was half again as large as the Chi Kun Star Region, which was evident from the number of life planets.

Most importantly, the alien races bordering this Star Domain did not include any Peak Groups, making it quite safe.

"From now on, this Star Domain will be where I am stationed for five hundred years or even longer."

Lin Yuan closely observed the Star Domain on the map, viewing it from various angles.

"I'll apply directly."

After pondering for a moment, Lin Yuan submitted an application to the Goddess of Wisdom.

"Application approved."

"Personnel will contact you next to verify your strength."

The solemn and cool voice of the Goddess of Wisdom came through.

"Understood."

Lin Yuan nodded.

Although the Chi Kun lineage had issued an announcement stating Lin Yuan had entered the Eighth Order,

to be stationed in a Star Domain, official verification by Human Civilization was required once more.

It wasn't about doubting the Chi Kun lineage's honesty.

It was simply standard procedure.

Even Disciples of a Supreme Powerhouse had to follow this standard after reaching the Eighth Order.

"Teacher wants me to visit him before I leave?"

Lin Yuan felt a slight stir in his heart upon receiving the message from the Red Kun Star Lord.

Before the Great Peak Lord departed, he had also visited the Red Kun Star Lord.

It was likely that the Red Kun Star Lord personally gifted some treasures to help deal with the many difficulties of the frontier Star Domains.

Frontier Star Domains had complex situations. On the surface, although Human Civilization had driven out alien races, many leftover issues remained.

For example, how to deal with certain special life form races?

These special life form races had lived here since their inception,

with no hostile actions toward Human Civilization. How Human Civilization should handle them after taking over the Star Domain

were all difficult problems.

Special life form races had few numbers, but that did not mean they were easy to deal with.

Two days later.

Official staff from Human Civilization arrived at the Crimson Kun Main Star.

"Thirteenth Peak Lord."

There were two staff members in total, one tall and well-built, the other thin and slender.

"This is the rule, so we hope the Thirteenth Peak Lord will forgive us."

The thin staff member said with a smile.

Many Eighth-Order Evolvers might be quite averse to such a process, but rules were rules. To hold vast authority over a Star Domain, one naturally had to pass through multiple procedures.

"I understand."

Lin Yuan did not mind at all.

"Thirteenth Peak Lord, please channel your World Power using this crystal ball." The tall staff member took out a crystal ball and placed it before Lin Yuan.

The crystal ball was transparent, containing specks of starlight inside like a sea of stars.

"Alright."

With a thought, Lin Yuan channeled a strand of World Power to touch the crystal ball, then quickly withdrew it.

Buzz.

The crystal ball hummed slightly, radiating strands of golden light.

"The Thirteenth Peak Lord's World Power has no issues." The thin staff member's pupils contracted slightly as he exchanged a glance with the tall staff member, quickly speaking up.

The two of them had verified the strength of many Eighth-Order Evolvers and were well-experienced.

Yet they still found the quality of the Thirteenth Peak Lord's World Power shockingly high.

It was nearly on par with the World Power level of an Eighth-Order Peak Evolver.

Both staff members were shocked in their hearts. They had originally thought that since the Thirteenth Peak Lord broke through to the Eighth Order before turning a hundred years old,

his Foundation would certainly be less stable than those Evolvers who spent tens of thousands of years to reach the Eighth Order.

But now it seemed, from a single strand of the Thirteenth Peak Lord's World Power, the stability of his Internal World far surpassed ordinary newly ascended Eighth-Order Evolvers.

"Thirteenth Peak Lord, please drip a drop of fresh blood in here." The tall staff member brought out a metal bowl and placed it before Lin Yuan.

To confirm whether an Evolver has reached the Eighth Order,

three aspects must be examined:

First, World Power;

Second, Physical Body strength;

Third, Soul strength.

World Power alone cannot definitively determine an Eighth-Order Evolver, as a small minority of Seventh-Order Evolvers can open an Internal World before reaching the Seventh-Order Peak.

Lin Yuan had even completed opening his Internal World at the Sixth-Order Peak, right before breaking through to the Seventh Order.

Only when combined with Physical Body strength and Soul strength could it be confirmed if an Evolver has entered the Eighth Order.

Whoosh.

Lin Yuan squeezed out a drop of fresh blood.

It dripped into the metal bowl. Once the thin staff member confirmed it, Lin Yuan's thought flickered, and that drop of blood dissipated into thin air.

Having mastered the Physical Body Divine Ability 'Rebirth from a Drop of Blood', Lin Yuan possessed absolute control over every drop of his blood.

After verifying his Physical Body,

Lin Yuan verified his Soul power.

Soon,

the two staff members received confirmation:

the Thirteenth Peak Lord had indeed entered the Eighth Order.

In fact, during the confirmation, the two staff members deduced that the Thirteenth Peak Lord's strength was far beyond what ordinary Eighth-Order Evolvers could compare to.

"Thirteenth Peak Lord."

"We have finished the verification."

The two staff members said with slight respect.

"Thank you."

Lin Yuan nodded.

"May I ask if the Peak Lord has decided on a name for the Star Domain you wish to preside over?" the thin staff member asked curiously.

"A name?"

Lin Yuan thought for a moment and said, "I've already thought of one."

"What is it called?" the thin staff member asked, his tone curious.

This was no secret; the name of a Star Domain would have to be made public sooner or later.

"Let's call it 'Milky Way'." Lin Yuan's gaze was calm, but his voice carried deep meaning.

"Milky Way Star Territory?"

"Milky Way?"

The two staff members didn't know the significance of this name, but offered smiles and congratulations: "Then congratulations to the Galaxy Star Master on taking office."

Since the Star Domain's name was 'Milky Way', Lin Yuan was naturally the Galaxy Star Master.

"Galaxy Star Master."

Lin Yuan's thoughts drifted.

He named the Star Domain 'Milky Way' to commemorate the Milky Way Galaxy where 'Earth' was located before he transmigrated to this vast Universe.

After the two staff members departed,

less than a minute later,

Lin Yuan received confirmation from the Goddess of Wisdom.

"Respected Seven-Level Citizen Lin Yuan, your Star Domain application has passed review."

"Next, please select the configuration for your main star."

The Goddess of Wisdom's solemn and cool voice came through.

"Main star configuration?" Lin Yuan raised an eyebrow.

He knew what a main star was—the core location of a Star Domain, such as the Crimson Kun Main Star in the Chi Kun Star Region.

"Respected Seven-Level Citizen Lin Yuan, the main star configuration refers to choosing what tier of resources to use for modifying the main star."

"As a newly incorporated Star Domain, Human Civilization officially provides a C-class modification for free. Once you confirm the main star, specialized Evolvers will proceed to modify it, granting it basic warfare capabilities."

The Goddess of Wisdom explained.

"So that's how it is."

Lin Yuan understood immediately.

As the most prosperous place in the Chi Kun Star Region, even Eighth-Order Evolvers didn't dare act recklessly on the Crimson Kun Main Star.

What did it rely on?

The Red Kun Star Lord?

Naturally, not entirely.

The Red Kun Star Lord spent most of his time in seclusion, bothered only with matters occurring on the thirteen Mountain Peaks and ignoring the rest.

What usually managed the Crimson Kun Main Star were planet defense Systems and other technological war weapons.

The planet defense System on the Crimson Kun Main Star was sufficient to easily suppress ordinary Eighth-Order Evolvers.

"What level of planet defense System does C-class modification belong to?" Lin Yuan inquired.

"It can suppress all Tier 6 Experts and most Tier 7 Experts," the Goddess of Wisdom answered.

"What about higher-level modifications?"

Lin Yuan continued asking.

"B-class modification can suppress all Tier 7 Experts and most Tier 8 Experts, requiring the Star Master to pay an additional 100,000 cubic cosmic crystals."

"A-class modification can suppress almost all Eighth-Order Evolvers, excluding Eighth Order Invincibles, requiring the Star Master to pay an additional 1,000,000 cubic cosmic crystals."

The Goddess of Wisdom's voice reached him.

"So expensive?" Lin Yuan clicked his tongue slightly. Even a B-class modification required 100,000 cosmic crystals. What did that mean? It was equivalent to the total wealth of an Eighth-Order Peak Evolver, including the combined value of all their treasures and weapons.

Let alone an A-class modification.

But its effect was obvious: a B-class modification could easily deal with most Eighth-Order Evolvers, which alone was priceless.

"The main star of a Star Domain is its future economic and political center; there must be no security risks whatsoever."

Lin Yuan thought to himself.

As long as the main star was managed well, it would become a money tree in the future. Merchants from surrounding Star Domains gathered on the Crimson Kun Main Star every day—how much profit did that generate for the Red Kun Star Lord?

"I choose B-class modification."

Lin Yuan thought it over and spoke.

Whether B-class or A-class, these modifications were 'welfare benefits' provided by Human Civilization to its Star Lords.

A planet defense System capable of suppressing most Eighth-Order Experts would easily cost hundreds of thousands of cubic cosmic crystals if purchased privately.

"B-class modification requires 100,000 cubic cosmic crystals. Respected Seven-Level Citizen Lin Yuan, please confirm." The Goddess of Wisdom's voice came through.

"Confirmed."

Lin Yuan nodded.

In the next moment,

100,000 cubic cosmic crystals vanished from his account balance.

"Deducted so fast?" Lin Yuan felt a pang of pain. Leaving 100,000 cubic cosmic crystals in his account for a bit longer would generate tens of millions in civilization coins interest.

"Money really flies…" Lin Yuan sighed.

After the Eighth Order celebration, Lin Yuan's total wealth had once reached nearly 200,000 cubic cosmic crystals.

Now, more than half of it had shrunk away instantly.

"I can earn it back in the future."

"As long as the main star's security is guaranteed, it will inevitably become the economic center of the Star Domain. At that point, why worry about not making it back?"

Lin Yuan comforted himself.

These were initial investments; if given the option, Lin Yuan would have even wanted to pick the A-class modification.

After his Star Domain application passed,

Lin Yuan did not return to his main hall.

Instead, he went straight to the crimson palace where the Red Kun Star Lord was in secluded cultivation.

"Teacher."

In the palace, Lin Yuan bowed slightly toward the Red Kun Star Lord.

Even though Lin Yuan had now entered the Eighth Order, when facing the Red Kun Star Lord, he still felt an invincible pressure.

One had to realize that although Lin Yuan had newly entered the Eighth Order, relying on his Internal World, he was strong enough to fight Late Stage or even Peak Eighth Order Experts.

"Is this an Eighth Order Invincible? Mastering a type of Cosmic Power?" Lin Yuan thought secretly.

Every Eighth Order Invincible mastered a power that transcended the Eighth Order.

This kind of power was also known as 'Cosmic Power'.

Eighth Order Invincibles were essentially still at the fourth stage of the Eighth Order, which was the pinnacle of the Eighth Order.

However, in terms of combat power, Eighth Order Invincibles almost completely crushed Eighth-Order pinnacles. A million years ago, Black Abyss * Qing Yu, an Eighth Order Invincible of the Black Abyss Clan, killed Ou Yin, a Late Stage Eighth-Order expert, with a single Soul attack.

Every Eighth Order Invincible was irreproducible, and the Cosmic Power they mastered was distinct to each.

"My dear Disciple, have you chosen a Star Domain?" The Red Kun Star Lord looked at Lin Yuan with a smile.

Among his thirteen Disciples, Lin Yuan was the one he worried about least, and also the one with the highest current achievements.

It was foreseeable that in the future, the one with the highest achievements would still be Lin Yuan.

"Teacher, I have chosen," Lin Yuan replied.

He then pulled up the map and marked out that Star Domain.

"Over there…"

"It's decent enough."

The Red Kun Star Lord nodded and said.

"Heading to a frontier Star Domain, you must be careful in everything. By the way, a Supreme Powerhouse should have met with you by now, right?" the Red Kun Star Lord asked suddenly.

If it were merely a Seventh-Order under a hundred years old, a Supreme Powerhouse might not pay attention. But an Eighth-Order under a hundred years old? The Red Kun Star Lord was almost certain it would draw a Supreme Powerhouse's gaze.

"Teacher, the one who met me was Supreme Being Xia Qin."

Lin Yuan said.

There was no need to hide this. How could a peerless Genius Evolver ranked in the top twenty or top ten in Human Civilization's history not have met a Supreme Powerhouse?

"Supreme Being Xia Qin… He is a Supreme Powerhouse of our Human Civilization famous for his combat prowess," the Red Kun Star Lord spoke.

Human Civilization has Nine Supreme Experts.

Every Supreme Powerhouse specializes in different areas.

Strictly speaking, Supreme Powerhouses have no shortcomings; their advantages simply differ when compared to one another.

For instance, Supreme Being Yu Die, although not adept at direct combat, her evolution path allows her to construct an illusory Universe.

The current Virtual World of Human Civilization stems from Supreme Being Yu Die's 'Authority', capable of near 100% replicating everything in the Universe, even simulating its rules.

Supreme Being Yu Die's importance is not in the least inferior to Supreme Being Xia Qin.
