Chapter 351: Secret Realm Closure

"I don't have any."

Lin Yuan shook his head and said.

Actually, Lin Yuan truly did possess treasures that could increase the probability of breaking through to the Ultimate Realm.

It was that Mysterious Gourd, which could shatter the shackles of the Internal World.

After absorbing the seven-colored liquid of the Mysterious Gourd, the intuitive size of one's Internal World could be increased by more than twenty times.

When an Eleven-Tier life made a breakthrough to the Ultimate Realm, the Internal World would undergo a qualitative transformation toward an internal Universe.

At this time, the higher the foundation of the Internal World, the easier the transformation would be.

Which was essentially disguisedly increasing the probability of breaking through to the Ultimate Realm.

But how could Lin Yuan possibly use that Mysterious Gourd for trade?

Even Human Civilization was kept in the dark by Lin Yuan, let alone Tuoba Ancient God?

Lin Yuan could deduce that once he dared to leak even a shred of news about the Mysterious Gourd,

it would attract a direct move from a Supreme Powerhouse.

To a Supreme Powerhouse, no matter how strong Lin Yuan's talent and Aptitude were, he was merely a life form within the Time River.

Unable to leap out of the Time River, he would eventually die of old age.

Therefore, a Genius was not taken seriously in the eyes of a Supreme Powerhouse.

But the Mysterious Gourd? It was definitely a supreme treasure that surpassed twelve-star cosmic rare treasures like the eternal spring.

Lin Yuan had no doubt that even Supreme Powerhouses would fight and clash over it.

"I know you don't," Tuoba Ancient God said, "but Human Civilization definitely has it."

"The mental will that I took away happens to be your close friend. Could it be that the Galaxy Star Master is going to just watch helplessly as his memories are substituted and experienced by me?"

Tuoba Ancient God said.

Once Fang Qing's mental will was substituted and experienced by Tuoba Ancient God, it would be completely obliterated.

"I'll consider it."

Lin Yuan did not directly refuse. Instead, after finishing these words, he got up and disappeared.

After Lin Yuan left,

this temporarily constructed virtual network world only had Tuoba Ancient God and Ancient God Sizhong left.

"Tuoba!"

Ancient God Sizhong looked at Tuoba Ancient God, his expression extremely ugly and his eyes faintly blazing with flames. All along, Ancient God Sizhong had maintained the image of a good guy, making friends with all sides, but at this moment he was truly enraged.

"A mere Tier-6 life's mental will, do you think it's worth a treasure that increases the probability of breaking through to the Ultimate Realm?"

"Even if you hold a grudge against Human Civilization, since I have already stepped forward, you shouldn't have made such an excessive demand."

Ancient God Sizhong's gaze was cold.

"A mere Tier-6 life?"

Tuoba Ancient God smiled slightly, "To us, it is indeed just a Tier-6 life, but I have also found out that that Fang Qing has a favor to repay towards the Galaxy Star Master."

"The Galaxy Star Master is too young, and he should value kindness and gratitude very much. Anyway, I just casually brought it up, and it doesn't matter if negotiations collapse."

Tuoba Ancient God said indifferently.

Although he also felt that the possibility of the Galaxy Star Master producing a treasure to increase the probability of breaking through to the Ultimate Realm was not high,

what if?

What if the Galaxy Star Master lost his head over it? That would be a tremendous Opportunity for him.

Even in the end, if the Galaxy Star Master truly could not produce it, he could continue to make other demands. Anyway, Fang Qing's mental will was in his hands, and he could manipulate the Galaxy Star Master at any time.

"By doing this, aren't you afraid of offending the Galaxy Star Master and Human Civilization?" Ancient God Sizhong was silent for a moment before speaking.

After this incident, regardless of the final outcome, Tuoba Ancient God would completely offend the Galaxy Star Master to death.

And offending the Galaxy Star Master to death was equivalent to completely offending Human Civilization to death.

"My Lifespan is running out, what is there to be afraid of?" Tuoba Ancient God said indifferently, "Within tens of millions of years, I will make a breakthrough to the Ultimate Realm."

"At that time, if I fail, everything about my existence will be wiped out. So what if I offend ten Galaxy Star Masters? If I succeed, then I will be a Supreme Powerhouse. No matter how angry the Galaxy Star Master is, what can he do?"

Tuoba Ancient God shook his head and said, "Sizhong, over the long years, you have made friends with all kinds of Geniuses. In my view, it is completely meaningless. If one does not become a Supreme Powerhouse, what is the use of having countless friendships?"

"How I do things has nothing to do with you." Ancient God Sizhong looked at Tuoba Ancient God, "Tuoba, let me ask you one more time, do you really want to stand on the opposite side of the Galaxy Star Master?"

"I do not advise you to do that. The Galaxy Star Master's potential is the greatest I have ever seen. If you act this way, the future troubles will be endless."

Ancient God Sizhong said seriously.

"The greatest potential?"

"I am breaking through to the Ultimate Realm within tens of millions of years. Could it be that the Galaxy Star Master can step into the Ultimate Realm within tens of millions of years?"

Tuoba Ancient God sneered, "Sizhong, stop acting as a peacemaker. The Galaxy Star Master, I, Tuoba, am determined to have him wrapped around my finger."

"We special life forms are high above; why should we care about the expression of a mere Galaxy Star Master?"

"Even if the Galaxy Star Master invites a certain Supreme Powerhouse of Human Civilization to step forward, at worst, I will directly defect to the Zerg or Heaven Wing Clan. They are enough to protect my safety."

Tuoba Ancient God considered things very comprehensively; no matter how monstrous the Galaxy Star Master's Aptitude was, he was not a Supreme Powerhouse.

The Nine Supreme Experts of Human Civilization would not go to war with the Zerg and Heaven Wing Clan for the sake of the Galaxy Star Master.

After all, nothing happened to the Galaxy Star Master himself. As for a friend dying? The Supreme Powerhouses of Human Civilization simply wouldn't care.

Hearing this, Ancient God Sizhong fell into silence once again.

"Now, I am just waiting for the Galaxy Star Master's reply."

"I hope there will be a surprise." A look of anticipation flashed in Tuoba Ancient God's eyes.

"How about this, Tuoba, you propose a new condition, and I will handle it on behalf of the Galaxy Star Master." Ancient God Sizhong thought for a moment and said.

"Sizhong, you better stay out of this."

Tuoba Ancient God glanced at Ancient God Sizhong, "For me now, no matter how precious a treasure is, as long as it is of no help in breaking through to the Ultimate Realm, it is useless."

"Unless you can also produce a treasure that increases the probability of breaking through to the Ultimate Realm."

"How could I possibly have one?" Ancient God Sizhong sighed. Even if he did, he wouldn't take it out.

Lin Yuan left the temporarily constructed virtual network world and returned to his personal space.

"This Tuoba Ancient God is treating me like a fat sheep and wants to fleece me heavily." Lin Yuan sat down and thought to himself.

Anyone could see that the conditions proposed by Tuoba Ancient God were too excessive, but the other party was simply using Fang Qing's mental will to threaten Lin Yuan.

"Intelligence reports say that Tuoba Ancient God is arrogant and has a terrible temper. Now it seems his guts are also quite big," Lin Yuan thought to himself, daring to threaten him so blatantly.

He had rarely ever encountered such a thing.

"That's right, Tuoba Ancient God has no reason to fear me. In the eyes of most Experts, my limit is the Eleven-Tier. As for the Ultimate? Wanting to step into the Ultimate Realm has nothing to do with talent and Aptitude."

Lin Yuan thought to himself, as fellow Eleven-Tier beings, Tuoba Ancient God was a special life form and had no need to fear the Eleven-Tiers of Human Civilization.

As for the various myths Lin Yuan broke and miracles he created when he was at the eighth and ninth tiers?

As his level grew higher, trying to achieve what he did at the eighth and ninth tiers would become exponentially more difficult.

Lin Yuan could manage to kill peers of the same tier like slaughtering chickens when he was at the eighth and ninth tiers, but could he really manage to kill Eleven-Tier powerhouses like slaughtering chickens after being promoted to the Eleven-Tier?

Killing Eleven-Tier powerhouses like slaughtering chickens was a method only possessed by Supreme Powerhouses, and even certain special Eleven-Tier lives possessed some resistance in front of Supreme Powerhouses.

For example, that 'Tree Realm Mother' was definitely one of the strongest Eleven-Tier lives.

After a moment,

Ancient God Sizhong took the initiative to contact Lin Yuan.

"Galaxy Star Master, I am very sorry. I failed to persuade Tuoba." Ancient God Sizhong looked somewhat ashamed; he had not expected Tuoba Ancient God to be so crazy, daring to propose any condition.

"Tuoba's Lifespan is running out, and he is about to be forced to break through to the Ultimate Realm. He will grasp onto every hope to increase the probability of that breakthrough. At this time, Galaxy Star Master, you met with him."

Ancient God Sizhong sighed and said.

If it were tens of billions of years earlier, he would have been confident in relying on himself to persuade Tuoba Ancient God, but now? Tuoba Ancient God had only the Ultimate breakthrough in his eyes, and didn't care at all about offending one or two Supreme Powerhouses for it.

"I will still try to maneuver and mediate this matter."

"Based on my understanding of Tuoba, his conditions should still be able to be lowered a bit."

Ancient God Sizhong spoke.

"Understood."

"Thank you for the trouble, Ancient God Sizhong."

Lin Yuan nodded.

After Ancient God Sizhong left,

Lin Yuan still sat in his original place.

"The conditions can still be lowered a bit?"

Lin Yuan shook his head slightly. Through his brief contact with Tuoba Ancient God, he felt the possibility was not very high.

Besides, when the opening demand was a treasure that increased the probability of a breakthrough to the Ultimate Realm, even if it were lowered somewhat, how much lower could it really go?

Crimson Kun Main Star.

Lin Yuan's figure appeared silently.

Traveling from the Galaxy Main Star to the Crimson Kun Main Star would have taken Lin Yuan a year or two when he was at the eighth tier.

But for Lin Yuan now, who had mastered Space-Time Nine Steps, it was merely a matter of two or three steps.

The Void Realm around Lin Yuan twisted, easily evading the planetary defense System of the Crimson Kun Main Star. Everyone on the Crimson Kun Main Star had no idea that the Galaxy Star Master had already returned.

Soon.

Lin Yuan returned to the Thirteen Mountain Peaks with practiced ease.

Then, he entered Fang Qing's cultivation secret room.

The matter of Fang Qing's sudden fainting had not yet spread out. When Lin Yuan contacted the Tuoba Ancient God, he did not explain the reason. Aside from Ancient God Linsi, no one else knew.

"Fang Qing."

Lin Yuan looked at Fang Qing lying inside the nutrient pod.

Swish.

The phantom of the White-bearded old man appeared. As an intelligent life form, he could only exist in reality in the form of a projection and had no Physical Body.

"Galaxy Star Master, why… why did you return?"

The White-bearded old man was utterly shocked. He had just met the Galaxy Star Master not long ago and was still waiting for his notification, yet Lin Yuan had returned in person?

"No need to make a fuss."

Lin Yuan glanced at the White-bearded old man. "Regarding Fang Qing, in the future, I will ask a Supreme Powerhouse to casually resurrect him."

The next moment.

Lin Yuan's thoughts stirred slightly. Using Fang Qing's Physical Body as the 'medium' and following the Karma connection, he launched a curse to kill his mental will.

Fang Qing had just entered the sixth tier, whereas Lin Yuan was already a ninth-tier Evolver, spanning three major Realms. Coupled with using the Physical Body with the deepest connection as the 'medium',

it could be said that Fang Qing was undoubtedly dead.

The Karma rules were one of the most mysterious and obscure rules in the Universe. After stepping into the ninth tier, Lin Yuan had specifically comprehended this rule for a period of time.

If Fang Qing's mental will were allowed to be taken in and experienced by the Tuoba Ancient God, Fang Qing's memories would be completely polluted by the Ancient God.

It was similar to being deeply trapped in memory poison.

Even if he were resurrected with his memories unchanged, he would still go mad and die.

Rather than that, it was better for Lin Yuan to kill Fang Qing directly.

Dying in this manner, Fang Qing still had a chance of being resurrected by a Supreme Powerhouse.

To increase the chances of thoroughly killing Fang Qing, Lin Yuan's superficial reply to the Tuoba Ancient God was "Let me consider it."

This kept hope alive in the other party's heart, while secretly his true Physical Body rushed back to the Crimson Kun Main Star. Only by doing so could the success rate of the curse killing be raised to the maximum.

"The Karma has disappeared?"

The curse killing was completed, and Lin Yuan felt that the Karma line belonging to Fang Qing had disappeared.

Due to the vast difference in levels, Lin Yuan did not pay any price at all for this curse killing.

Actually, Lin Yuan had also prepared for the worst-case scenario, which was that the curse killing would fail. After all, Fang Qing's mental will was in the hands of the Tuoba Ancient God.

Such an ancient Ancient God, what methods would he not have? Perhaps he had the ability to isolate Karma.

Karma curse killing was formless and immaterial, but it was not omnipotent. Countermeasures still existed; for instance, the Profound Yellow Secret Realm could isolate Karma.

Therefore——

In Lin Yuan's plan,

if the Tuoba Ancient God blocked the curse killing,

Lin Yuan would immediately invite Supreme Being Xia Qin to take action and execute the curse killing.

With the majesty of a Supreme Powerhouse cursing and killing a sixth-tier life, unless the Tuoba Ancient God also possessed a place left behind by a Supreme Powerhouse such as the Profound Yellow Secret Realm, he simply couldn't block it.

It was just that, looking at it now,

the Tuoba Ancient God seemed to have no preparation in this regard.

Or rather, he had not anticipated that Lin Yuan had no intention of being threatened by him at all. Without even bothering to counteroffer, Lin Yuan directly and thoroughly cursed and killed his good friend.

"In the future… Resurrection?" Amidst his sorrow, the White-bearded old man breathed a sigh of relief.

After learning from Lin Yuan that Fang Qing's fainting was related to an Ancient God, he had already prepared for the worst.

What kind of existence was an Ancient God?

And now it seemed that Fang Qing was indeed dead.

However, the Galaxy Star Master truly intended to ask a Supreme Powerhouse to resurrect him in the future.

You must know that although sixth-tier lives engraved their own imprints into the Universe to form a 'dao marker' and thus had the possibility of being resurrected,

but the sixth-tier Evolvers of Human Civilization numbered in the hundreds of millions of trillions.

If every time a sixth-tier Evolver died, a Supreme Powerhouse was required to resurrect them, the Supreme Powerhouses wouldn't even need to rest and would have to specialize in resurrecting sixth-tier Evolvers.

Only sixth-tier Evolvers with sufficient talent and Aptitude could be resurrected by a Supreme Powerhouse.

And Fang Qing clearly did not meet this requirement. Cultivating the Ancient God Evolution Path was inherently a hidden danger, making it easy to fall into becoming a vessel for Ancient Gods.

Supreme Powerhouses generally would not resurrect such Evolvers.

But since Lin Yuan said so, the White-bearded old man immediately believed it.

Deep within the Cosmic Starry Sky.

Inside a Secret Realm.

The Tuoba Ancient God sat cross-legged, his body as huge as a star. As a rare special life form, if the Tuoba Ancient God fully unfolded his Physical Body, it would be as massive as a stellar System.

"The Galaxy Star Master said he would consider it."

"I wonder how his consideration is going?"

The Tuoba Ancient God thought silently in his heart.

In fact, his true target was not a treasure that increased the probability of impacting the Ultimate.

Even if Human Civilization truly had it, they would not let the Galaxy Star Master act recklessly.

This was just a condition casually proposed by the Tuoba Ancient God, waiting for the Galaxy Star Master to bargain and counteroffer.

The Tuoba Ancient God's Ultimate goal was to make Human Civilization promote his evolution path.

What raised the probability of impacting the Ultimate was not just treasures, but also various methods.

For example, allowing one's own evolution path to gain wider dissemination and have more practitioners to Cultivate it,

could also produce a similar effect.

It was just that Human Civilization had always suppressed the dissemination of the Ancient God Evolution Path.

This made the Tuoba Ancient God somewhat distressed, but he had no way around it.

And now the Galaxy Star Master had allowed him to see hope.

"Galaxy Star Master, if you step forward, you should surely be able to make Human Civilization step back. Just spreading my evolution path is not a difficult matter."

While thinking this, the Tuoba Ancient God waited for the Galaxy Star Master to contact him again.

Just at this moment.

Hum.

An invisible fluctuation swept over.

"Hmm?"

The Tuoba Ancient God was slightly startled.

"Karma?"

The Tuoba Ancient God's expression changed.

"Not good."

The Tuoba Ancient God immediately sensed that the mental will belonging to Fang Qing within his body began to quickly extinguish.

"Curse killing?"

"Someone cursed and killed this mental will?"

The Tuoba Ancient God found it somewhat unbelievable. "The Secret Realm I am in has the effect of weakening Karma."

"To perform a curse killing, one must at least use the thing with the deepest connection, for example, using the Physical Body as a 'medium'."

"The one who cursed and killed this mental will is the Galaxy Star Master?"

The Tuoba Ancient God immediately reacted, and then realized that he had miscalculated how much importance the Galaxy Star Master attached to Fang Qing.

If the Galaxy Star Master truly valued Fang Qing, he would at least haggle and pull strings with him; as for cursing and killing him directly? That carried immense risks.

"The Galaxy Star Master is unwilling to be subjected to any threat from me?"

The Tuoba Ancient God fell silent for a moment, understanding the Galaxy Star Master's thoughts.

The Tuoba Ancient God had a feeling that even if the one in his hands was not Fang Qing, but the Galaxy Star Master's parents and closest kin, the result would probably be the same.

After thoroughly resolving Fang Qing's hidden danger,

Lin Yuan quickly returned to the Galaxy Main Star.

As the Galaxy Star Master, leaving the main star for a short time was not a problem.

But not guarding the main star for a long time was still somewhat insecure.

"The Supreme Powerhouses' next round of resurrection work will probably be in two thousand years."

Lin Yuan thought to himself. The resurrection method of the Supreme Powerhouses generally involved accumulating a fixed number of resurrection targets and then taking action to resurrect them all at once.

This was the most convenient and efficient way.

"Two thousand years later—two thousand years in the Main World—I should have long since stepped into Eleven-Tier, and I can also speak up to ask a Supreme Powerhouse to resurrect Fang Qing."

Lin Yuan thought silently in his heart.

Even if things developed a bit more smoothly, within two thousand years of the Main World, Lin Yuan estimated he would have already started impacting the Ultimate, and perhaps might already be the Ultimate.

Two thousand years in the Main World did not mean Lin Yuan had only experienced two thousand years. Relying on the shuttling of the Gate of Myriad Realms, the actual time Lin Yuan had spent might exceed twenty thousand years.

With the numerous foundations Lin Yuan mastered, coupled with his Heaven-Defying Comprehension, giving him another twenty thousand years, impacting the Ultimate and stepping into the Ultimate was entirely possible.

Time slowly passed.

In the blink of an eye, another twenty years passed.

Profound Yellow Secret Realm.

Lin Yuan suddenly opened his eyes.

"A hundred years… are about to pass."

"The Profound Yellow Secret Realm is about to close." Lin Yuan looked toward the outer region of the Secret Realm.

He saw a large number of ninth-tier alien races, as well as ninth-tier Evolvers of Human Civilization, appearing in the outer region. As for the inner region, many ninth-tier alien races had also gathered there.

They were all hostile alien races driven into this region by the Evolvers of Human Civilization.

"The Secret Realm is closing. The time for my harvest has arrived."

A smile appeared on Lin Yuan's face as he looked at the ninth-tier alien races in the inner region with despairing expressions, a smile spreading across his face.
