Chapter 240: Lin Yuan Arrives

"Greetings, Galaxy Star Master!"

"Greetings, Galaxy Star Master!!"

"Greetings, Galaxy Star Master!!!"

Lin Yuan stepped out of the spaceship and looked at the countless Evolvers bowing respectfully and kneeling before him.

His mindset began to shift subtly.

On the Crimson Kun Main Star, although Lin Yuan had supreme power and status, with countless Evolvers treating him with utmost respect…

…that was all derived from the Red Kun Star Lord.

But now, these Evolvers were bowing to him, the Galaxy Star Master—to Lin Yuan himself.

"Rise."

Lin Yuan said.

"Yes."

The two leading Evolvers—one dressed in a purple robe, the other with a head of golden hair—straightened up respectfully.

"You two must be Chun Bo and Jia Li?" Lin Yuan looked at them.

After confirming his appointment as the Galaxy Star Master, Lin Yuan had received a vast amount of data, which included information on Chun Bo and Jia Li.

These two had been intentionally left behind by the official authorities of Human Civilization to help him fully take over the Milky Way Star Territory.

Although they couldn't compare to the two Eighth-Order aliens gifted by his teacher, both were Seventh-Order Evolvers.

"Yes."

"It is my honor to have my name remembered by the Star Master."

Chun Bo and Jia Li immediately answered respectfully.

"Alright, dismiss the rest of them," Lin Yuan said, looking back at the dense army of Evolvers.

"Understood."

Chun Bo nodded, turned to face the army behind him, and called out, "By the Star Master's command, you are all dismissed."

His voice quickly reached the ears of every Evolver.

"Yes."

"We obey the Star Master's order."

The massive army of Evolvers immediately dispersed in a neat and orderly fashion.

"Star Master, allow me to introduce the main star to you," Chun Bo said at once.

Galaxy Main Star was massive. Although Lin Yuan had long received relevant data, it was impossible for everything on such a huge planet to be recorded in files.

After taking a general tour of the main star, Chun Bo and Jia Li led Lin Yuan to a magnificent palace.

"The B-grade planetary modification is almost complete, right?"

Lin Yuan asked.

The modification of Galaxy Main Star had begun when Lin Yuan paid one hundred thousand cubic meters of cosmic crystal. Evolvers from the Star Alliance in nearby star territories had rushed over to perform the upgrade.

"Yes."

"The planetary modification has entered its final stage and is nearly finished."

Chun Bo replied immediately.

The stronger the planet's defense System, the safer it would be, which gave him a sense of confidence and security as well.

"That was quite fast," Lin Yuan nodded.

Excluding travel time, the planetary modification had only taken three or four years at most.

In such a short time, transforming this planet into a 'Forbidden Land' capable of casually suppressing most Eighth-Order Evolvers was no small feat.

"Working for the Star Master, who would dare not give their all?"

Jia Li, standing nearby, spoke up.

The Galaxy Star Master was no ordinary Star Master; he was not only the apprentice of the Red Kun Star Lord, but also a top Genius of Human Civilization with unlimited potential.

For his main star's modification, the workers had surely worked with all their might, not daring to be slacking off in the slightest.

Of course, it was mainly because Lin Yuan paid generously; the workers were able to get a share of those hundred thousand cubic meters of cosmic crystals.

"I have two subordinates who will manage the main star alongside you," Lin Yuan said, looking at Jia Li and Chun Bo.

The two aliens gifted to him by the Red Kun Star Lord, Hong Pi and Bi Yan, were not only Eighth-Order in strength, but also possessed rich planetary management experience.

Managing a planet well—especially a main star that served as the economic and political center of an entire Star Domain—required top-tier leadership abilities.

"Understood."

Chun Bo and Jia Li had no objections whatsoever.

Taking over an unfamiliar Star Domain for the first time, it was only natural for Lin Yuan to install subordinates he trusted.

If Lin Yuan didn't assign his own people and trusted them completely instead, Chun Bo and Jia Li would actually feel uneasy.

Internal World.

The two Eighth-Order aliens, Hong Pi and Bi Yan, had already gone completely numb with shock.

Five years.

A mere five years.

For Eighth-Order aliens like them, that wasn't even long enough for a quick nap.

Yet, right before the eyes of these two Eighth-Order aliens, Lin Yuan's Internal World had expanded from nearly three hundred thousand li in radius before departure to a staggering seven hundred thousand li.

It had expanded by a full four hundred thousand li.

Was he even fucking human?

Hong Pi and Bi Yan composed themselves, barely regaining their senses.

They had originally speculated that since Lin Yuan's Internal World had reached nearly three hundred thousand li upon newly entering the Eighth Order, perhaps he had relied on some spatial treasure or supreme rare item?

Certain rare treasures from the deep Cosmic Starry Sky were of great use in opening an Internal World, although using them came with many prerequisites.

But at least that could barely explain why Lin Yuan's Internal World was nearly three hundred thousand li across when he had just reached the Eighth Order.

But what had transpired over the past five years undeniably shattered the two Eighth-Order aliens' worldview.

Bit by bit, they had watched Lin Yuan's Internal World expand every day, every month, and every year, until reaching seven hundred thousand li today.

When first creating an Internal World, one could use certain spatial rare treasures to increase its size.

But after that, further expansion of the Internal World could only rely on one's level of spatial comprehension.

In other words, over the past five years, Lin Yuan's expansion of his Internal World relied entirely on his own comprehension of Space Rules.

An Internal World of seven hundred thousand li in radius…

Hong Pi and Bi Yan, the two Eighth-Order aliens, tried hard to calm themselves down.

They had seen Internal Worlds of seven hundred thousand li; the Red Kun Star Lord's Internal World far exceeded seven hundred thousand li.

But expanding from nearly three hundred thousand li to almost seven hundred thousand li in a short span of five years…

…was something neither of them had ever heard of.

Even the Star Sea Roaming Kun—a Peak bloodline 'dashing favorite' of Spatial Origin with a native Internal World—couldn't possibly be this abnormal in its comprehension of core space models.

What the two Eighth-Order aliens didn't know was that this was already with Lin Yuan spending most of his time and energy on perfecting the Martial Dao Eighth Order Chapter and comprehending evolution pathways.

If he had devoted all his effort to comprehending the core space models of Space Rules, the growth speed of his Internal World would have been significantly higher.

"Hmm?"

"Is the Master going to let us out?"

"We've already arrived at Galaxy Main Star."

The expressions of Hong Pi and Bi Yan, the two Eighth-Order aliens, changed slightly as they received the message Lin Yuan sent them.

In an instant.

The two of them vanished from the Internal World.

Galaxy Main Star, Central Palace.

Lin Yuan sat on his throne, looking down at Chun Bo and Jia Li.

In the next instant.

Hong Pi and Bi Yan appeared in the hall.

"Are they the Star Master's subordinates?"

When Chun Bo and Jia Li saw Hong Pi and Bi Yan, stormy waves crashed through their hearts.

Eighth Order.

Both of them were Eighth Order!

Chun Bo and Jia Li's eyelids twitched uncontrollably.

Having two Eighth-Order subordinates right after entering the Eighth Order, this scale of resources was simply unbelievable…

Did he really think Eighth-Order Experts were cabbages on the side of the road, available as many as he wanted?

Chun Bo and Jia Li once again realized how terrifying Lin Yuan's background was. Just how doted on was he by the Red Kun Star Lord?

"The four of you will be in charge of various affairs within the Milky Way Star Territory from now on," Lin Yuan spoke.

"Yes."

Chun Bo and Jia Li replied immediately.

"Yes."

Hong Pi and Bi Yan responded as well.

"By the way, I need detailed information on the special life forms and alien wanderers within this Star Domain, as well as their actions over the years. The more detailed, the better."

Lin Yuan said.

Now that he was the Star Master of a Star Domain, Lin Yuan naturally would not allow anything beyond his control to exist within it.

Those special life forms and alien wanderers were right at the top of Lin Yuan's focus.

"Yes."

Chun Bo and Jia Li immediately bowed.

After the four of them left.

Lin Yuan was the only one left in the palace.

"My current combat strength… in terms of battle power, has completely reached the Peak Eighth Order level, hasn't it? I might even be among the strongest below the Eighth Order Invincibles."

Lin Yuan thought to himself.

Relying solely on his seven-hundred-thousand-li Internal World, Lin Yuan's combat power was already among the Peak Eighth Order.

Not to mention that the Martial Dao Evolution Path he cultivated excelled in close combat, making overcoming stronger opponents effortlessly easy.

Why was the Martial Dao Evolution Path able to suppress the two Eighth-Order evolution pathways on the chikun evolution chart back when it was only at the Seventh Order?

Potential might be one reason, but in terms of combat power, the Martial Dao Evolution Path possessed an overwhelming advantage.

From the Rank 1 Chapter to the Seventh Order Chapter, and now to the Eighth Order Chapter Lin Yuan was currently creating, every single step of the Martial Dao Evolution Path was comprehended by Lin Yuan through his Heaven-Defying Comprehension, ensuring perfection at every point.

"Below Eighth Order Invincibles, I have few rivals. Even if I encounter an Eighth Order Invincible, as long as I don't foolishly clash head-on and turn to flee instead, there shouldn't be any problem."

Lin Yuan examined himself.

Eighth Order Invincibles mastered a form of Cosmic Power, placing their combat power far above ordinary Eighth-Order Evolvers. However, with Lin Yuan's current life-saving methods, he at least wouldn't end up like Ou Yin, unable to withstand even a single move.

In terms of Soul defense, Lin Yuan was guarded by an Eighth-Order Soul defense treasure, protected by the Mo Yu Mark, and possessed a mental will nearly reaching fourteen thousand points.

Even against a Soul-type Eighth Order Invincible Evolver, Lin Yuan believed he could withstand dozens of moves without dying.

In terms of Physical Body defense, Lin Yuan had that Eighth-Order armor protecting him and possessed the Physical Body Divine Ability 'Rebirth from a Drop of Blood'.

Especially the latter—as long as his Physical Body was not instantly pulverized into nonexistence, it was tantamount to an immortal body, allowing him to rapidly 'Rebirth'.

With these two life-saving means, while Lin Yuan was certainly no match for Eighth Order Invincibles, killing him would be no easy feat for them either.

Especially now that the Milky Way Star Territory was integrated into Human Civilization's territory, Lin Yuan could easily summon a large number of human Eighth-Order Evolvers in a short time whenever he wished.

A few days later.

Chun Bo and Jia Li delivered intelligence reports on the special life forms and alien wanderers currently within the Milky Way Star Territory.

"Hmm?"

Lin Yuan browsed through them carefully.

"These special life forms are far too arrogant."

After reading, Lin Yuan shook his head slightly.

To special life forms birthed by the Universe, they instinctively viewed everything within the Universe as their own property.

In particular, the special life form named 'Aodu' needed to devour planets periodically. Resource planets? Inhabited planets?

All were delicious meals on Aodu's plate.

Its actions grew most blatant when the Shadow Clan withdrew and Human Civilization was about to take over, going so far as to devour dozens of inhabited planets in succession.

Inhabited planets suitable for living beings had immense strategic importance for Human Civilization.

Only with a massive population base could Human Civilization give birth to all kinds of Geniuses.

As for resource planets, most were inferior in value compared to inhabited planets of the same grade.

But a small portion of resource planets harbored rare Ores and treasures, such as the dead resource planet disputed between the Looking Moon Star Region and the Golden Dragon Star Region.

The rare Ore contained within it, once fully mined, would be worth ten thousand cubic meters of cosmic crystals.

Such a massive fortune of cosmic crystals caused even the Golden Dragon Star Region to turn green with envy, resorting to unreasonable squabbling with the Looking Moon Star Region.

"Mine."

"Those resource planets, inhabited planets—they are all mine."

Lin Yuan's eyebrows knitted tightly. As the Star Master, although all resource planets within the Star Domain belonged to Human Civilization, he could still get a cut of them.

As for those inhabited planets, Human Civilization would soon initiate large-scale immigration into the Milky Way Star Territory; at that time, the more inhabited planets there were, the greater the benefits he would reap.

"This Aodu cannot be spared."

Lin Yuan had already made up his mind.

The Shadow Clan might fear Aodu's strength and background, but Lin Yuan didn't care in the slightest.

Human Civilization fought across all quarters and had never feared anyone.

"I will handle it personally."

Lin Yuan stood up and walked out of the palace.

Aodu was an Eighth-Order special life form with strength close to the Peak Eighth Order. Furthermore, Aodu shared a deep friendship with another Eighth-Order special life form, and the two resided together on a single planet.

In the current Milky Way Star Territory, only Lin Yuan possessed the strength to deal with 'Aodu'.

On a massive planet.

A massive mountain of flesh watched as a blood-red octopus casually returned from outside the planet, its brows immediately furrowing.

"Aodu, I told you long ago to be careful lately and avoid going out if possible. That Galaxy Star Master is probably arriving soon."

"Going out at a time like this, what if you anger that Galaxy Star Master?" the massive mountain of flesh said in a deep voice.

It wasn't afraid of that Galaxy Star Master…

…but it feared the Red Kun Star Lord behind the Galaxy Star Master!

And it feared the Human Civilization Alliance behind him even more!

"I am a grand special life form; what's wrong with devouring a few planets?" Aodu said indifferently.

Lately, it had indeed kept a lower profile and stopped devouring inhabited planets.

But resource planets still needed to be consumed. Without the massive energy contained within resource planets to support it, the time for Aodu to step into the fourth stage of the Eighth Order would be extended indefinitely.

"But if the Galaxy Star Master finds out, what will you do then?"

The massive mountain of flesh asked.

"The Galaxy Star Master?"

"An Evolver not even a hundred years old—even if he stepped into the Eighth Order, how much strength could he possibly have?"

"What can he do to us?"

Aodu said carelessly.

"Oh?"

"The Galaxy Star Master is easy to deal with, but what about the Red Kun Star Lord?"

"And what about the Human Civilization Alliance?"

The massive mountain of flesh glanced at Aodu. "From the beginning, my telling you to lay low and be careful wasn't because of the Galaxy Star Master at all, but because of the Human Civilization Alliance."

"The Human Civilization Alliance has already incorporated this Star Domain into its territory. If we want to live comfortably, we must bow to the Human Civilization Alliance."

"As for that Galaxy Star Master, what the hell is he worth?"

The massive mountain of flesh's voice was deafening.

"Relax, I only devoured a few resource planets. If that Galaxy Star Master dares to come…"

Aodu remained silent for a moment before speaking.

However…

Before it could finish speaking…

…its expression changed slightly.

The massive mountain of flesh life form seemed to sense something as well, its expression shifting drastically.

"Who is it?"

Outside the planet, a man clad in cyan armor with calm eyes stood with his hands behind his back. Looking down from above, he quietly observed Aodu and the massive mountain of flesh, smiling faintly:

"Tell me, if the Galaxy Star Master dares to come, what do you plan to do?"

Before his voice had even faded…

…the man extended his right hand. Spatial ripples began to waver, and the huge planet suddenly twisted and shrank, finally becoming palm-sized as it was caught in his hand.

Aodu and the massive mountain of flesh life form were now reduced to two tiny ants, looking up in sheer terror at the towering giant standing between heaven and earth beyond the sky.
