Chapter 249: Lurking

Outside the Galaxy Main Star.

Five alien Experts merged into the depths of space.

As Eighth Order Invincibles, they had basically comprehended five to six thousand core space models.

They could easily merge into layers of space.

The space of the Main World was vast and mighty, with an unknown number of layers.

Many Secret Realm worlds were hidden in certain layers of space, remaining undiscovered for countless millions of years.

"What on earth is this Galaxy Star Master doing? Not coming out even after ten years?" the five alien Eighth Order Invincibles wondered.

It was not strange for an Eighth-Order Evolver to be in seclusion for decades or centuries, but the Galaxy Star Master had just taken charge of the Milky Way Star Territory, so logically, he needed to walk around within the Star Domain frequently.

Where was there a newly appointed Star Master who hid on the main star and refused to come out?

Admittedly, as a Star Master, he certainly wouldn't do everything personally, but he couldn't not even show his face, right?

"It doesn't matter."

"We can just wait."

"If ten years won't do, then fifty years."

"If fifty years won't do, then five hundred years."

The leading Eighth Order Invincibles spoke. It came from the powerful ethnic group 'Darkscale Clan' and was named Sala.

The Darkscale Clan was a member of the Zerg Alliance, and the other four Eighth Order Invincibles also came from several major alien races of the Zerg Alliance.

The Zerg themselves did not have the concept of Eighth Order Invincibles. Every Zerg Mother Nest could nurture countless warriors. As long as the number of eighth-order Zerg warriors was large enough, even Eighth Order Invincibles would feel terrified.

Therefore—

The way to divide the strength of a Zerg Mother Nest was its tier.

And how many quantity tiers of Zerg warriors it had nurtured.

An eighth-order Zerg Mother Nest was the strongest existence among the eighth order. As long as time and resources were sufficient, it could continuously produce eighth-order Zerg warriors.

Even if these Zerg warriors did not have basic rule comprehension, a quantitative change would lead to qualitative change. With a large enough quantity, they could sweep across all directions.

This was the "Zerg Sea Tactic" with which the Zerg swept across the Cosmic Starry Sky.

"Correct."

"It's just time."

"For us, even if we wait for thousands of years, so what?"

The third Eighth Order Invincibles said. They were similarly eager to step into the ninth order, but facing the threshold of Fusion rules, relying on closed-door Cultivate was useless.

Fusion rules, especially involving a certain pillar rule, required not only sufficient personal foundation, but also that crucial "flash of inspiration".

"Wait for thousands of years?"

The fourth Eighth Order Invincibles frowned slightly, vaguely sensing that something was wrong.

"This Galaxy Star Master has such a terrifying Aptitude, and is ranked seventh on the list formulated by the Zerg. If he is allowed to Cultivate for thousands of years, he might reach the ninth order, or at least be an Eighth Order Invincibles."

This Eighth Order Invincibles spoke with a worried tone.

As soon as these words came out.

The remaining four Eighth Order Invincibles immediately stopped talking.

If it were other Evolvers who could comprehend a certain kind of Cosmic Power within thousands of years and become Eighth Order Invincibles.

They would definitely sneer at it.

Was Cosmic Power so easy to comprehend?

They were all Eighth Order Invincibles, so they naturally knew the difficulty of comprehending Cosmic Power. They didn't know how many life-and-death dangers they had experienced or how many fortuitous encounters and opportunities they had obtained.

No matter how much of a Genius or Prodigy one was, could one comprehend Cosmic Power just by sitting still?

But what if it was the Galaxy Star Master?

There were already enough miracles on the Galaxy Star Master.

If he were to be in seclusion for hundreds or thousands of years and comprehend a certain kind of Cosmic Power, there really was such a possibility.

"Now we have no choice."

Sala of the Darkscale Clan spoke: "There is only one chance. The Galaxy Star Master is hiding on the main star and won't come out, so we can only wait."

"If we wait for thousands of years and the Galaxy Star Master really comprehends a certain kind of Cosmic Power, the Zerg's mission should be considered a failure."

Among Eighth Order Invincibles, there were distinctions of strength, but the gap was not large. When two Eighth Order Invincibles fought, they basically fell into a stalemate. Under normal circumstances, it was difficult for one side to defeat the other.

This was also why Experts at this level were called "Eighth Order Invincibles".

Even if several Eighth Order Invincibles besieged one Eighth Order Invincibles, even if the latter couldn't beat them, they could easily withdraw completely.

Therefore.

In Sala's view, if the Galaxy Star Master could really comprehend a certain kind of Cosmic Power and become an Eighth Order Invincibles, then their assassination would be considered a failure.

The memory poison only targeted spiritual memory. It only worked when the Galaxy Star Master completely lost all ability to resist.

Even ninth-order powerhouses would find it difficult to make an Eighth Order Invincibles completely lose their ability to resist, let alone them.

Of course, in the eyes of several Eighth Order Invincibles, the Galaxy Star Master becoming an Eighth Order Invincibles was only hopeful, not certain.

Waiting for rabbits by the stump outside the main star, the possibility of success was still quite high for them.

Galaxy Main Star.

Inside the palace, Lin Yuan sat cross-legged.

"The Aptitude I have shown externally is stepping into the eighth order under the age of one hundred, as well as an unimaginable growth speed."

Lin Yuan thought silently in his heart.

"Before taking office, Teacher reminded me that the Zerg might assassinate me."

Lin Yuan glanced at the direction of the starry sky.

He spent 100,000 cubic cosmic crystals to carry out a Class B modification on the main star. In addition to the fact that as the economic and political center of the Star Domain, the security of the main star was crucial.

It was also because he wanted to build his old lair into an impregnable fortress.

Class B planet modification could easily suppress the vast majority of eighth-order Experts. In terms of defense, it was also unimaginably strong. Even if a ninth-order powerhouse made a move, it could support it for an instant.

If Eighth Order Invincibles made a move, even a group of Eighth Order Invincibles could support it for several breaths of time.

For Experts, even one ten-thousandth of an instant could accomplish many things.

Lin Yuan could completely detonate this main body to avoid direct contact with ninth-order powerhouses.

Moreover, Lin Yuan did not think that the Zerg would dispatch ninth-order strength to assassinate him.

Dispatching ninth-order combat power was equivalent to tearing apart relations with Human Civilization.

If the interests were big enough, the Zerg wouldn't mind doing so, but judging from the Aptitude Lin Yuan had shown so far, he was far from qualified.

Therefore.

Lin Yuan mainly just needed to guard against assassinations by Eighth Order Invincibles.

Facing Eighth Order Invincibles, Lin Yuan only needed to hide in the main star.

When Lin Yuan first arrived at the Milky Way Star Territory, with the speed of lightning, he cleared out the most unstable factors within the Star Domain.

This was precisely to reduce the frequency of him going out in the future.

"Evolvers of Human Civilization who reach the eighth order must guard the fringe Star Domains. This is a tradition and a rule. Even the offspring of Supreme Powerhouses cannot be an exception."

Lin Yuan thought to himself.

Evolvers below the eighth order were all protected and invested in by Human Civilization.

Upon reaching the eighth order, they had to give back and guard the fringe Star Domains, though the danger was actually not great.

Peerless Geniuses like Lin Yuan who might be assassinated by alien races were often bestowed with many life-saving trump cards before heading to the fringe Star Domains.

The town spirit pearl given to Lin Yuan by Supreme Being Xia Qin was just like this. Even if an alien Supreme Powerhouse made a move, it could preserve the possibility of him being resurrected.

Of course, if an Evolver made a huge contribution to Human Civilization, such as being an Evolutionary Grand Scholar or close to an Evolutionary Grand Scholar.

They could also apply to be exempt from the obligation of guarding the fringe Star Domains.

But this situation was extremely rare.

With the potential Lin Yuan displayed, he was actually qualified to apply.

But in this way, other newly advanced Eighth-Order Evolvers all went to guard the fringe Star Domains, while Lin Yuan didn't go. This was equivalent to announcing to the alien races that the Galaxy Star Master had an even greater secret.

Once this happened, even if Lin Yuan hid in the rear of Human Civilization, it might not be absolutely safe.

"These ten years—"

Lin Yuan's thoughts churned, and a smile appeared on his face.

The ten years in the Main World made Lin Yuan advance by leaps and bounds in all aspects.

First was in terms of rule comprehension. Lin Yuan had already thoroughly comprehended 2,932 core space models of the Space Rules.

You must know that ten years ago, Lin Yuan's comprehension of core space models was just over two thousand models.

Ten years passed, and Lin Yuan directly comprehended 900 core space models.

The difficulty of thoroughly comprehending these 900 core space models far exceeded the initial 900 models by an unknown amount.

Among the 7,782 core space models, the further one went, the greater the difficulty of comprehension, showing a continuous upward leap in a geometric curve.

The comprehension difficulty of the 2,000th Core Space Model far exceeded that of the first Core Space Model.

Thus reflected in the Internal World, the further the space model was, the greater the expansion of the Internal World after thorough comprehension.

And 2,932 core space models boosted Lin Yuan's Internal World to a radius of two million miles in one fell swoop.

The two million miles radius here was the normal Internal World size.

After the basic amplification of the crimson red liquid, Lin Yuan's Internal World reached a radius of 6.66 million miles.

After another basic amplification of the orange-yellow liquid, Lin Yuan's Internal World size now exceeded a radius of tens of millions of miles.

"Orange-yellow liquid—"

Lin Yuan took out the Mysterious Gourd. At this moment, the color of the gourd was already grayish-yellow, faintly exuding a mysterious aura.

Whether it was the initial crimson red liquid or the orange-yellow liquid, the amplification to the Physical Body and the Internal World was both a basic amplification.

Compared to the crimson red liquid, Lin Yuan's absorption of the orange-yellow liquid was much slower. In ten years, he had only absorbed most of it.

"Now the basic amplification of my Physical Body and Internal World has probably reached five times?"

Lin Yuan estimated in his heart.

3.33 times from the crimson red liquid, and nearly twice from the orange-yellow liquid.

The latter was not as good as the former because Lin Yuan hadn't completely absorbed the orange-yellow liquid.

Theoretically speaking, if Lin Yuan completely absorbed the orange-yellow liquid, the final amplification would reach 6.66 times.

"Too terrifying—"

Even though more than ten years had passed, Lin Yuan was still shocked by the effects of the Mysterious Gourd.

This was a basic amplification, not ordinary addition and subtraction. Now Lin Yuan's Internal World size reached tens of millions of miles.

An Internal World of tens of millions of miles.

That was the upper limit of Human Evolvers, and it could only be achieved by comprehending complete Space Rules at the eighth-order level.

But wanting to comprehend complete Space Rules at the eighth-order level was almost impossible. Some ninth-order powerhouses hadn't even comprehended complete Space Rules.

But Lin Yuan had achieved it in a certain aspect.

Although he hadn't thoroughly comprehended complete Space Rules, he possessed one of the greatest benefits after thoroughly comprehending complete Space Rules.

An Internal World with a radius of tens of millions of miles.

And an Internal World with a radius of tens of millions of miles was not Lin Yuan's upper limit; he could continue to improve, and improve by a large margin.

"With an Internal World with a radius of tens of millions of miles, my current combat power, even if not as good as Eighth Order Invincibles, is not far behind."

Lin Yuan examined himself.

According to his speculation, when the Internal World reached tens of millions of miles in radius, even without comprehending a certain kind of Cosmic Power, he could shake Eighth Order Invincibles head-on.

If the Internal World reached hundreds of millions of miles, he could crush Eighth Order Invincibles.

Since ancient times, Eighth Order Invincibles had stood in an undefeated position at the eighth-order level. This was the myth belonging to Eighth Order Invincibles.

But as long as Lin Yuan continued to Cultivate, he could break this myth.

"Pity, the Tai Yin Rule is still a bit off."

Lin Yuan sighed. Over the past ten years, part of his energy had been placed on absorbing the orange-yellow liquid and comprehending Space Rules and other matters.

Resulting in the delayed comprehension of the Tai Yin Rule.

Even so, Lin Yuan felt he was close. Even if he did nothing, at most in two or three years, the Tai Yin Rule would naturally be comprehended.

This was the essence of the mutual complementation of Yin and Yang of Taiji.

When one side improved, the improvement of the other side was a matter of course.

"Boundary-Breaking Source Power… There are already thirty-six wisps."

Lin Yuan's mind sank deep into his mind, looking towards that towering and magnificent Gate of Myriad Realms.

Ten years ago, the number of Boundary-Breaking Source Power accumulated by Lin Yuan was only seventeen wisps, but now it had risen to thirty-six wisps.

"Currently, the development of the Milky Way Star Territory is stable, and I don't need to do anything. I can carry out the eighth shuttle."

Lin Yuan thought in his heart.

However, how to choose for the eighth shuttle, Lin Yuan still hesitated somewhat.

"Hmm?"

Lin Yuan's gaze turned, looking towards a certain direction of the main star.

There was a Mountain Peak, which was the residence of Ruan Wei, the Eighth-Order Evolver who took the initiative to follow Lin Yuan more than ten years ago.

At this time, Ruan Wei was standing on the top of the Mountain Peak, and the surrounding space was faintly distorted, obviously comprehending core space models.

"Wrong."

"The direction is wrong."

Lin Yuan saw Ruan Wei's problem at a glance.

The Space Rules were vast and endless. The 7,782 core space models summarized by the successive ancestors of Human Civilization only expounded a certain aspect of the essence of the Space Rules.

Everyone's comprehension gained from comprehending core space models might be different.

"Oh well."

Lin Yuan thought for a moment, and his figure disappeared from the palace.

"Space? What on earth is space?"

Ruan Wei's brows locked tightly, and her aura faintly began to become unstable.

Just at this moment.

Lin Yuan's figure appeared.

With a single point, he touched the center of Ruan Wei's brows.

In an instant, the surrounding space fluctuations slowly disappeared, and the unstable aura in Ruan Wei's body gradually calmed down.

"Star Master."

Ruan Wei woke up and immediately bowed to Lin Yuan.

"Space is everything."

Lin Yuan shook his head and said.

As Lin Yuan, who had thoroughly comprehended nearly 3,000 core space models, he was fully qualified to correct Ruan Wei's wrong path.

"Space is everything?"

Ruan Wei's expression was slightly confused.

"Space encompasses everything. The space you see is only an insignificant part. The Cosmic Starry Sky has layers upon layers of space, with almost no end."

"When you comprehend Space Rules, never concretize space, otherwise it's easy to take a wrong path."

Lin Yuan reminded.

Evolvers comprehending Space Rules were like blind men touching an elephant, having no specific criteria. But if they touched an elephant's leg and thought space was the elephant's leg,

That was undoubtedly a huge mistake.

"Thank you, Star Master."

Ruan Wei felt touched in her heart, and immediately bowed excitedly.

She had just tried hard to perceive the Space Rules, trying to imagine what the Space Rules looked like, little knowing that she had committed a major tabu.

Once she truly fixed the specific image of space, from then on, it would be very difficult to continue making progress on Space Rules.

Although Lin Yuan only casually reminded her, it undoubtedly pulled Ruan Wei back onto the broadest Dao.

This was also why many Evolvers were willing to follow Experts. Often, a single word of guidance from an expert could make them walk out of a dead end.

A single sentence could change a life.
