Chapter 297 eternal spring

Cosmic Starry Sky.

Lin Yuan stood within multiple spatial layers, and with every step he took, galaxy after galaxy was left behind.

"The Main Universe is truly too vast."

Lin Yuan marveled inwardly, carefully sensing everything as he traveled.

The "vastness" he spoke of was not vastness in a shallow sense, but rather vastness in terms of spatial depth, containing endless spatial layers.

A Tier 10 Evolver, even if they reached the tens of millions of layers realm, would only have tens of millions of spatial layers opened up and derived within their Internal World.

However, the Main Universe?

Tens of millions of spatial layers couldn't even compare to a single strand of hair of the Main Universe.

"No wonder for so many years, Experts of various Peak Groups have constantly fought and killed each other, yet the damage to the Main World is negligible. With such a terrifying foundation, who would care about the attacks of ants?"

Lin Yuan thought to himself.

Humans and other groups restrained the war to fixed battlefields not because they thought they could destroy the Main Universe, but because they worried that the aftermath of their clashes would affect those planetary Secret Realms.

The essence of war was the contention for resources; if there were no resources, what was there to fight for?

As for the permanent spatial cracks caused by attacks at the Supreme Powerhouse level? Measured in meters, for the Main Universe, they probably weren't even as good as the cracks between cells.

"Hmm?"

Lin Yuan simultaneously occupied thousands of spatial layers and discovered that some weapon fragments were floating within a few of the spatial layers.

"They have no value."

Lin Yuan glanced at them and lost interest.

For countless millions of years, Experts had fought and killed each other across countless spatial layers. One side won? Both sides suffered? Perished together? All of this would cause their personal items to be scattered within a certain spatial layer.

This was also the origin of the weapon fragments Lin Yuan saw.

They were basically scraps, though there were no lack of some good things, but they were too rare.

Many Tier 10 Experts roamed through numerous spatial layers with the idea of "picking up scraps"; perhaps some heavy treasure was left behind in some unknown spatial layer?

Aside from these, deep within the multiple spatial layers of the Main Universe, cosmic Secret Realms were also born.

These cosmic Secret Realms would operate along with the Main Universe, briefly establishing channels with the outside world during certain periods. For example, the "Xuanhuang" Secret Realm that Red Kun Star Lord had once visited was located in an incomparably deep spatial layer.

Swish.

Lin Yuan took dozens of steps in succession, and in five or six breaths of time, tens of thousands of light-years were traversed.

"Hmm, my mind has been consumed a bit."

Lin Yuan immediately noticed the change in his state. After fully comprehending the Space Rules, he could cast the Great Teleportation technique.

But casting the Great Teleportation technique would consume mental energy.

Lin Yuan estimated that at the current rate of mental consumption, if he took tens of thousands of more steps, he would probably start to feel exhausted.

Normal Tier 9 and Tier 10 Evolvers would not easily let themselves get exhausted, as that would affect the performance of their strength.

Previously, Deputy Tower Master Nalan had continuously cast the Great Teleportation technique, crossing star sectors to arrive at the Crimson Kun Main Star and deliver the town spirit pearl to Lin Yuan.

Because it was the order of a Supreme Powerhouse.

And it was also related to Deputy Tower Master Nalan's own strength.

The stronger the strength, the weaker the sense of exhaustion.

"I might as well obediently take a spaceship, even though it's a bit slower."

With a thought from Lin Yuan, the Grade A spaceship he had once purchased appeared before him.

Just at this moment.

Lin Yuan's expression suddenly changed.

"My mental consumption is rapidly recovering?"

Consumption of the mind would naturally recover, but right now Lin Yuan clearly felt that the recovery speed far exceeded the natural recovery speed.

"Hmm?"

"Coming from the Internal World. The World Tree?"

Lin Yuan's consciousness descended into the Internal World and discovered that the branches of the World Tree, which was over a hundred meters tall, were swaying, and wisps of light-green power were merging into the Internal World along with the aura of the World Tree itself.

Then, the Internal World operated the World Power to nourish Lin Yuan's Physical Body, Soul, and mental will, while that trace of light-green power was recovering Lin Yuan's mental consumption.

"So the World Tree has this function as well?"

A smile appeared on Lin Yuan's face. Consumption in terms of the Physical Body and Soul were very easy to recover, it was merely a matter of how much price to pay.

But consumption of the mind… Up to now, those treasures known to humanity for recovering mental consumption all possessed extremely high values.

Even if Lin Yuan had the financial resources to buy them, it was impossible to use them on something like traveling.

"In this way, I can continue to use Great Teleportation to travel. It's just a matter of making each stepping distance a bit smaller."

If he still maintained a travel speed of thousands of light-years per step, even with the World Tree making up for it, the recovery speed of mental consumption would still be less than the consumption speed.

But Lin Yuan could completely reduce his travel speed, for example, reducing it from a thousand light-years per step to eight hundred light-years per step? Five hundred light-years per step?

As the pace became smaller, the consumption would naturally decrease.

Even so, the travel speed was still far superior to taking a spaceship. Wormhole shuttling required a cooldown time, and even the best spaceship only reduced the cooldown time, but still required waiting after each shuttle.

But the Great Teleportation technique truly did not require a cooldown time.

"Nine hundred light-years per step. No."

"Eight hundred light-years per step. Still no."

"Seven hundred light-years per step. No, no."

Lin Yuan began to try, finding a balance point between the consumption speed and the recovery speed.

Ultimately.

Lin Yuan determined that when he traveled at five hundred and thirty light-years per step, the consumption of his mind was equal to his own recovery speed plus the World Tree's recovery speed.

That was to say, as long as Lin Yuan maintained five hundred and thirty light-years per step, no matter how long the time, he would not produce any exhaustion.

Because the trace of mind just consumed was already recovered.

"Just like this."

Lin Yuan stepped into Star Domains and galaxies step by step, heading toward the Central Star Region.

Galaxy Main Star.

The Taiyin Primordial Spirit was rapidly absorbing the liquid inside the Mysterious Gourd.

Due to synchronizing the Rebirth from a Drop of Blood Divine Ability, the attainments of the Taiyin Primordial Spirit in this Divine Ability were on the same level as the true body.

Therefore, in terms of absorbing the preceding liquids, the speed was extremely fast. In less than half a month, it had already absorbed the fifth cyan liquid, reaching the progress of the true body.

"My strength…"

A smile appeared on Lin Yuan's face. The Internal World of the Primordial Spirit Clone had also reached a size of one or two hundred million li in radius, showing almost no difference from the true body.

Before fully comprehending the Space Rules, due to the factor that the two Primordial Spirit Clones had not perfected their own paths, the Internal Worlds they opened up were smaller than the basic Internal World size of the true body.

It required the two Primordial Spirits to merge into one, becoming the Taiji Primordial Spirit, for the size of the opened Internal World to compare to the basic Internal World size of the true body.

The basic Internal World here referred to the Internal World without the blessing of the Mysterious Gourd.

But after fully comprehending the Space Rules, there was no such distinction anymore; the Internal Worlds could all expand to the upper limit of tens of millions of li in radius.

"Now, my true body, Taiyin Primordial Spirit, and Solar Nascent Soul have the same strength, and there is no longer any distinction between the true body and Clones."

Lin Yuan whispered to himself.

His three bodies now could all be said to be true bodies.

The reason why those "Clone" techniques of Human Civilization were called Clones was because the condensed Clones generally had strength inferior to the true body.

Moreover, if a Clone died, the true body would not die, but if the true body died, the Clone would die together with it.

Regardless of which two sides of Lin Yuan's true body and two Primordial Spirits fell, they could be condensed out from the remaining side.

Just this point alone was countless times stronger than those Clone techniques.

Edge of the Central Star Region.

Above a planet.

Lin Yuan's figure silently appeared.

"Finally arrived."

The territory of Human Civilization was too vast. Arriving at the Central Star Region from the Milky Way Star Territory was far from traversing the entire territory of Human Civilization, yet even so, Lin Yuan had spent nearly a year.

You must know that during this year, Lin Yuan basically did not stop, constantly traveling at a speed of five hundred and thirty light-years per step.

"Upon reaching the Central Star Region, one cannot use the Great Teleportation technique."

Lin Yuan thought silently in his heart.

To be precise, any means of spatial shuttling was not allowed.

The Central Star Region was the hinterland of Human Civilization; if one could casually shuttle and teleport, wouldn't it be total chaos?

Just not long after Lin Yuan arrived.

A figure quickly flew out from the planet beneath his feet.

"Hahaha, Galaxy Star Master, I have been waiting for you."

This figure was also a Tier 9 Evolver, who was specifically responsible for receiving and guiding Lin Yuan.

"Actually, not long ago, I also saw Galaxy Star Master."

This Tier 9 Evolver was a purple-haired man, looking at Lin Yuan with a smile at this moment.

"Saw me?"

Lin Yuan was somewhat puzzled.

"My name is 'Xi Lan', previously I was the garrison commander on the B0001 battlefield."

Xi Lan briefly explained.

Xi Lan looked at Lin Yuan, thinking to himself: "The time it took for Galaxy Star Master to arrive is much faster than estimated. Did he keep using the Great Teleportation technique?"

Generally speaking, Evolvers who had just entered Tier 9 would be exceptionally excited, especially after mastering the complete Space Rules, and would travel disregarding exhaustion using the Great Teleportation technique.

This was like getting a new toy, and one would definitely want to play with it all the time.

As for the side effects of using the Great Teleportation technique—exhaustion caused by mental consumption?

It wasn't any major hidden danger either; resting for a while would allow recovery.

"So that's how it is."

Lin Yuan suddenly understood. On ancient Medium Alien Battlefields like B0001, Tier 9 Evolvers were stationed at all times.

It wasn't to make a move, but to prevent Tier 9 Experts of the opposing alien race from making a move.

Of course, if necessary, they could also make a move, such as if a peerless Genius comparable to the Galaxy Star Master appeared in the Heaven Wing Clan.

'Xi Lan' might really make a move to strangle him in the cradle.

Even if they could be resurrected in the end, at least they could suppress the other party's growth rate.

When Supreme Powerhouses resurrected clansmen, they usually accumulated a huge number of clansmen before resurrecting them together.

After all, resurrecting one person and resurrecting a hundred people only required going against the current once.

Of course, the backlash suffered from resurrecting one person versus a hundred people was different.

Wanting a Supreme Powerhouse to go upstream specifically for a certain life form was difficult unless they valued them truly specially.

As for bullying the weak with the strong? In the competition between groups, there was never any talk of bullying the weak with the strong; otherwise, why would those weak groups, ordinary groups, and powerful groups oppressed by Peak Groups be so obedient?

"Let's go, come down with me. A ceremony specifically to welcome you has already been prepared."

Xi Lan said with a smile.

The planet beneath their feet was similar to a transit planet. To enter the Central Star Region, one had to go through such planets.

The Central Star Region did not allow any spatial shuttling and teleportation means, but it had fixed spatial channels.

In order to reduce the travel time of incoming and outgoing life forms.

And on the transit planet below, a spatial channel leading to the depths of the Central Star Region was situated.

Swish.

Lin Yuan and Xi Lan appeared inside the transit planet.

"Congratulations to the Galaxy Star Master on stepping into Tier 9."

On the surface of the planet, densely packed living beings were standing. These beings included humans and other alien races, and even the number of alien races accounted for half.

"Congratulations to the Galaxy Star Master on stepping into Tier 9."

"Congratulations to the Galaxy Star Master on stepping into Tier 9."

"Congratulations to the Galaxy Star Master on stepping into Tier 9."

One roar after another of congratulations was deafening, all congratulating Lin Yuan.

"So many alien races?"

Lin Yuan glanced roughly and was slightly surprised.

"These alien races are all those who have submitted to our Human Civilization, or joined our Human Civilization Alliance."

Xi Lan explained from the side.

The several major peak group grand Alliances in the Universe, such as the Heaven Wing Grand Alliance, the Zerg Grand Alliance, and so on, were all formed with the Peak Groups as the center.

The purpose was to gather all forces to compete with other groups.

And Human Civilization… as a peak group, naturally also had its own grand Alliance, so Human Civilization was also called the Human Civilization Alliance.

The Human Civilization Alliance was led by humans, composed of a total of one hundred and eighty-two powerful groups and six thousand three hundred and thirteen ordinary groups.

"Let's go."

"We will go directly to the spatial channel."

"The eternal spring is located on the mother star, and we need to transit through dozens of spatial channels."

Xi Lan didn't stay, directly taking Lin Yuan toward the spatial channel on the transit planet.

Swish.

In the blink of an eye.

Lin Yuan and Xi Lan left this planet along the spatial channel.

"Is it… is it over?"

On the transit planet, the alien races in the massive congratulation team finally dared to speak in low voices.

Several months ago, they had been dragged over and continuously "rehearsed", the purpose being to wait for the Galaxy Star Master to arrive and shout out those words: "Congratulations to the Galaxy Star Master on stepping into Tier 9".

"Sister Luo Qin, that Galaxy Star Master must be an extraordinary human, right?"

A short-statured alien race cautiously asked a human woman next to him.

As an alien race, even if they completely attached themselves to humans, there were many restrictions. Before a certain age limit, they could not use the Virtual World network, so their news was very closed off, and they had not heard of the Galaxy Star Master.

But even if they had never heard of him, given the grand pomp on this planet right now, they knew that the Galaxy Star Master was not simple.

You must know that on this transit planet, a large number of humans or alien races entering the Central Star Region were received every day.

But in order to specially welcome the Galaxy Star Master, as early as several months ago, it was no longer open to the outside world, specifically waiting for the Galaxy Star Master.

Although there were many transit planets of this kind on the edge of the Central Star Region, clearing one out exclusively was far from something a normal Tier 9 Evolver could achieve.

The short alien race had also experienced it before; when other humans who had just entered Tier 9 Evolvers came over, they did not have such treatment.

"That goes without saying!"

The human woman called "Sister Luo Qin" had a hint of pride appear on her face, "The Galaxy Star Master is the pride of our Human Civilization."
