Chapter 273: Ranking of Human Civilization Evolution Paths

The five Eighth Order Invincibles were very patient.

Their target was not to kill this Clone of the Galaxy Star Master.

Instead, it was to make the Galaxy Star Master completely perish, so that even a Supreme Powerhouse's "Rebirth" could not save him.

If it were just to kill the Clone, more than a decade ago, they could have made their move right after sneaking outside the Galaxy Main Star.

With five Eighth Order Invincibles simultaneously sealing space, even if the Galaxy Star Master had mastered spatial teleportation methods, he would still have been trapped within the planet.

By then, the five of them joining forces to attack the Galaxy Main Star, even with a B-grade modified planetary defense System, could at most support it for a few breaths.

The Galaxy Star Master would have found himself with nowhere to turn.

Five Eighth Order Invincibles assassinating the Galaxy Star Master, whose combat power was only at the Eighth-Order Peak, was completely like using a cannon to kill a mosquito. If not for the high regard of the Lord Zun of the Insect Race, Eighth Order Invincibles like Sala of the Darkscale Clan probably wouldn't have bothered to join forces.

No matter how high the talent of the Galaxy Star Master was, he was ultimately just newly entered the Eighth Order. Even with Eighth-Order Peak combat power, so what?

To the Eighth Order Invincibles who had mastered a certain Cosmic Power, the Eighth-Order Peak was merely a slightly larger ant, with no major difference from one who had just entered the Eighth Order.

Although this ant might grow into a giant in the future, for now, it was merely an ant.

"After killing that Galaxy Star Master, our few must try our best not to appear on the battlefield and lie low for a while. The retaliatory counterattack of Human Civilization is not something easy to withstand."

Sala of the Darkscale Clan looked at the remaining four Eighth Order Invincibles and said in a low voice.

Over the past decade or so, besides monitoring the movements of the Galaxy Main Star, they occasionally communicated with each other and developed some camaraderie.

"That is natural."

"Those lunatics of Human Civilization, having completely killed their peerless Genius, even if they haven't completely torn off their masks, will definitely retaliate in secret."

Another Eighth Order Invincible immediately said.

Normally, among the several Peak Group Alliances in the Main World, their mutual struggles had a default limit on combat power below Tier 9.

Except on the large Alien Race Battlefields where combat power of Tier 9 and above was allowed to appear, in other places, even on Medium Alien Battlefields, there were almost no traces of Tier 9 life forms.

This was an unwritten rule among the several Peak Groups, maintaining the intensity of the war at a certain level.

Without this unwritten rule, the struggles between the several group Alliances would become extremely chaotic, and even Supreme Powerhouses would frequently enter the arena to make a move.

For all the Peak Groups, this would have a catastrophic impact.

Of course, unwritten rules were just unwritten rules. Even if the five alien Eighth Order Invincibles did not break the unwritten rule, once they truly completely killed the Galaxy Star Master—

Human Civilization would also fly into a rage.

The specific manifestation would be purposely targeting the five of them or the groups behind them on the Alien Race Battlefield, or even increasing the war intensity against the Insect Race.

The malice and killing intent of the Human Civilization Alliance could be resisted by the Insect Race, which was also a Peak Group, but the groups behind the five Eighth Order Invincibles would inevitably suffer heavy losses, or even lead to direct annihilation.

Ten thousand years ago, the youngest Disciple of the Red Kun Star Lord died, and the Red Kun Star Lord rallied his friends, with dozens of Eighth Order Invincibles descending upon several Medium Alien Battlefields simultaneously, almost piercing through those alien battlefields.

Although the youngest Disciple of the Red Kun Star Lord had very high talent, he could not be compared with the Galaxy Star Master. Even so, it caused such a massive impact.

One could well imagine what kind of catastrophe the Human Civilization Alliance would whip up once the Galaxy Star Master completely died.

Of course, the Insect Race had made many promises to these five Eighth Order Invincibles, guaranteeing that their groups would not be affected, and once successful, the rewards bestowed would be enough for them to come and risk it all.

Virtual World.

In a mysterious space, nine great thrones stood tall.

Suddenly, towering figures condensed upon three of the nine thrones.

One of the towering figures was precisely Supreme Being Xia Qin.

"Goddess of Wisdom," Supreme Being Xia Qin glanced over, "And Goddess of Freedom, Goddess of Justice."

The Three Goddesses were the Ultimate intelligences of Human Civilization, and their status was equal to the Nine Supreme Experts.

"Supreme Being Xia Qin, Supreme Being Yu Die, and Gu Li Supreme Expert." The solemn and cold voice of the Goddess of Wisdom resounded throughout the mysterious space.

Human Civilization had a total of Nine Supreme Experts, but the Nine Supreme Experts respectively garrisoned different directions and each had their own matters to attend to. Generally, when the Three Goddesses contacted the Supreme Powerhouses, having two or three arrive was about enough.

"Human Civilization is about to have another Eighth Order evolution path, which still requires your confirmation," the Goddess of Wisdom continued.

"Oh?"

"Another brand new Eighth Order evolution path has been born?" Supreme Being Xia Qin raised an eyebrow.

The birth of an Eighth Order evolution path and the birth of an Eighth-Order Evolver completely belonged to different concepts.

The latter had not yet caught the eye of the Supreme Powerhouses, but the former—an Eighth Order evolution path meant a source that could continuously Cultivate Eighth-Order Evolvers.

To say that its importance was the Foundation of the group would not be an overstatement.

Especially an Eighth Order evolution path that could bring the Three Goddesses together and specifically notify them, the Supreme Powerhouses, was definitely extraordinary, even very special, and had the potential to go a step further.

"Let me see."

Supreme Being Xia Qin received the Martial Dao Eighth Order Chapter transmitted by the Goddess of Wisdom.

"Is it that little fellow?" Supreme Being Xia Qin was slightly stunned. He had a very good impression of Lin Yuan, having even met him in person once and bestowed treasures like the town spirit pearl.

In the eyes of Supreme Being Xia Qin, Lin Yuan not only stepped into the Eighth Order under the age of a hundred, but also created Martial Dao, an evolution path with immense potential.

His Aptitude and talent were enough to rank in the top twenty or top ten in human history.

"He created the Eighth Order Chapter so quickly?" Supreme Being Xia Qin found it somewhat unimaginable. Creating the Eighth Order Chapter meant that Lin Yuan had completely walked through the Eighth Order.

But how long had it been since Lin Yuan stepped into the Eighth Order? Moreover, Supreme Being Xia Qin deeply understood how difficult it was to create the Eighth Order Chapter.

Within such a short period of time, cultivating from the Early Stage Eighth Order to the Eighth-Order Peak was already very difficult to achieve, let alone creating the Eighth Order Chapter from scratch.

Supreme Being Xia Qin overlooked the Cosmic Starry Sky and had seen countless geniuses. When he first met Lin Yuan and determined that his talent ranked in the top ten or twenty of Human Civilization's history, he didn't have much emotional fluctuation.

Being in the top ten or twenty of human history was indeed extremely monstrous, but it was just extremely monstrous after all. Without becoming a Supreme Powerhouse, one would eventually vanish into history one day.

However, now, Lin Yuan had pioneered the Eighth Order Chapter, causing Supreme Being Xia Qin to be genuinely surprised from the bottom of his heart.

This was simply too fast.

It was just that the Three Goddesses would not lie. If the Eighth Order Chapter created by Lin Yuan did not meet the standards, it would have been directly rejected.

Since they were notified as Supreme Powerhouses for confirmation, it meant the Three Goddesses believed there were no problems with the Eighth Order Chapter.

"Let me take a look." Supreme Being Xia Qin immediately browsed the contents of the Martial Dao Eighth Order Chapter.

At the level of Supreme Powerhouses, viewing the Eighth Order Chapter had no difficulty at all. Before long, the three Supreme Powerhouses finished reading the Martial Dao Eighth Order Chapter.

"This Eighth Order Chapter…" Supreme Being Xia Qin fell into thought. Even at his level, he perceived the potential of the Martial Dao Eighth Order Chapter.

It accommodated ten thousand Daos, almost encompassing all paths of power. Xia Qin could even sense that the Eighth Order Chapter of the Martial Dao Evolution System could extend into multiple types of Cosmic Power.

"Has the identity of the founder of this evolution path been confirmed? Is he not a chess piece of the alien races?" Gu Li Supreme Expert finished reading and directly asked the Goddess of Wisdom.

He saw the potential of the Martial Dao Evolution System and had to ensure that its founder was of the Human Race.

Otherwise, it would be Human Civilization's turn to carry out a desperate assassination.

"He is of the Human Race."

"Supreme Being Xia Qin has also personally confirmed it."

The Goddess of Wisdom replied.

"Xia Qin has confirmed it, huh." Gu Li Supreme Expert nodded slightly, asked no further questions, and did not give any evaluation.

However, judging from just now, when Gu Li Supreme Expert directly confirmed the origin and identity of the founder of Martial Dao with the Goddess of Wisdom, one could see how much importance this Supreme Powerhouse attached to it.

Those not of our race must be killed, killed, killed.

"Xia Qin, your vision is quite good." Supreme Being Yu Die was a graceful woman, and she glanced at Supreme Being Xia Qin.

Among the Nine Supreme Experts of Human Civilization, Supreme Being Yu Die was a very special one. She was the Ultimate existence of the illusory dream evolution path and was not good at direct close combat.

But Supreme Being Yu Die's importance to Human Civilization was no less than that of any Supreme Powerhouse, because the Virtual World enveloping the territory of Human Civilization came from the "authority" of Supreme Being Yu Die.

"Hehe." Supreme Being Xia Qin smiled slightly.

Not long ago, after he met Lin Yuan and bestowed the town spirit pearl, he still felt it wasn't secure enough, so he asked Supreme Being Yu Die to pay more attention to Lin Yuan.

Supreme Being Yu Die was the source of the Virtual World, and wherever the Virtual World network covered was the range of Supreme Being Yu Die's perception.

Having Supreme Being Yu Die pay attention to Lin Yuan basically eliminated the possibility of other alien races overturning the table and dispatching Tier 9 and above Experts to assassinate Lin Yuan.

Of course, Supreme Being Yu Die only paid more attention to Lin Yuan; she was not a "babysitter".

Unless Lin Yuan encountered the risk of complete perishing, with both his Clone and main body dying entirely and unable to even be resurrected, Supreme Being Yu Die would make a move to stop it.

As for other dangers?

In the view of Supreme Being Yu Die, moderately facing danger and facing life-and-death crises was actually a good thing.

"Supreme Being Xia Qin, Supreme Being Yu Die, Gu Li Supreme Expert, since none of you have any objections, after evaluation, this Eighth Order Chapter is valued at 22 million Merit Points. Do you agree?"

The Goddess of Wisdom said once more.

"22 million Merit Points?"

Supreme Being Xia Qin's expression was calm.

The Eighth Order Chapter of a normal evolution path was between 8 million Merit Points and 10 million Merit Points.

An exceptionally outstanding Eighth Order Chapter might reach 15 million Merit Points to 18 million Merit Points.

An Eighth Order Chapter exceeding 22 million Merit Points was not just outstanding; it also carried a certain unique specialty.

"I agree."

Supreme Being Xia Qin nodded.

"I agree."

"I also agree."

Supreme Being Yu Die and Gu Li Supreme Expert also nodded one after another.

The possibilities of multiple Cosmic Powers involved in the Martial Dao Eighth Order Chapter were completely worth this many Merit Points.

That was Cosmic Power; even comprehending just one type would bring great benefits after stepping into Tier 9.

Galaxy Main Star.

Lin Yuan's consciousness connected to the Virtual World, entering the mall interface to select suitable energy crystals.

There was an area of over 20 million miles in the Internal World that needed expansion, and Lin Yuan now urgently needed a large amount of energy to support the Virtual World.

As for slowly absorbing energy from between the Universe? That efficiency was far too low, and absorbing a massive amount of energy from the Universe would bring irreparable impacts to the Galaxy Main Star.

"Let's go with this one."

Lin Yuan finally made a choice.

Taiwei Pure Crystal.

The core energy from the cosmic Secret Realm, the Taiwei Secret Realm.

Although its texture was not as pure as the scarlet spirit liquid of the Chi Kun lineage.

But it was more than enough for the expansion of the Internal World.

"Eighty thousand cubic meters of cosmic crystal." Lin Yuan estimated the price required to expand the Internal World to 37.5 million miles, and immediately felt his heart bleeding.

He had used thunderous means to loot all those special life forms and alien wanderers in the Milky Way Star Territory, and only managed to obtain treasures worth over 100,000 cubic meters of cosmic crystal.

Now, before these had even warmed up in his hands, he had to spend a portion of them again.

"It doesn't matter. As long as my strength is powerful, won't killing some alien Experts casually bring it all back? Eighty thousand cubic meters of cosmic crystal? That is merely the net worth of a little less than half an Eighth Order Invincible."

Lin Yuan comforted himself in his heart while reluctantly paying out the cosmic crystals.

"It will arrive soon?"

Lin Yuan glanced at the delivery time. The Taiwei Pure Crystal worth 80,000 cubic meters of cosmic crystal would arrive at the Galaxy Main Star in about half a month.

"Next, let the Creation Power in the Internal World completely transform into Cosmic Power." Lin Yuan began to release the Internal World's isolation from the outside world.

In an instant.

Dozens of types of Creation Power began to actively adapt to the Main World. Especially that wisp of Primal Power, the vibration it emitted almost shook the tens of millions of miles of the Internal World.

"Once the Internal World expands to 37.5 million miles, I will directly begin absorbing the liquid in the Mysterious Gourd to recover to nearly 100 million miles in radius."

Lin Yuan thought to himself.

With the Spirit Realm continuously absorbing the liquid in the Mysterious Gourd, the enhancement it brought to the Physical Body Divine Ability 'Rebirth from a Drop of Blood'.

Next, when Lin Yuan re-absorbed it once more, it wouldn't take much time at all; he could recover in a little over ten days.

Half a day later.

The voice of the Goddess of Wisdom suddenly came over.

"Respected Galaxy Star Master, the Eighth Order Chapter you uploaded has completed evaluation."

"Evaluation completed?" Lin Yuan's eyes lit up, and he immediately asked, "How many Merit Points is it worth?"

"Respected Galaxy Star Master, the Eighth Order Chapter you uploaded is valued at 22 million Merit Points."

The tone of the Goddess of Wisdom was solemn and cold.

"22 million Merit Points." Lin Yuan took a deep breath.

He remembered that the Merit Points for the Seventh Order Chapter were only 3 million.

Now the Eighth Order Chapter was worth 22 million Merit Points, achieving an increase of eight to nine times.

"The Three Goddesses evaluated the Eighth Order Chapter very highly?" Lin Yuan thought silently in his heart, "Or perhaps it's not just the Three Goddesses?"

This time, the time taken by the Three Goddesses to evaluate the Martial Dao Eighth Order Chapter was too long, far exceeding before.

"Over 20 million Merit Points." A smile appeared on Lin Yuan's face. This was equivalent to the Merit Points obtained from killing more than twenty Eighth-Order Experts.

It was a complete kill, not just killing a Clone or something similar.

And on the Alien Race Battlefield, killing more than twenty alien Eighth-Order individuals had a difficulty comparable to ascending to heaven.

This was not a matter of strength, but rather that after an Evolver killed three or four alien Eighth-Order individuals, it would attract the attention of all alien Experts, and afterwards those alien Eighth-Order individuals would turn around and run away immediately upon seeing you.

A Human Evolver who killed more than a dozen alien Eighth-Order individuals, as long as they descended upon any Alien Race Battlefield, would directly usher in opponents of the same level, or even Eighth Order Invincibles.

"Right."

"Let's check the rankings."

Lin Yuan's heart stirred as he looked towards the latest ranking of the Martial Dao Evolution Path.
