Chapter 380: A Century Passes

Luo Chuan Gathering Place.

Bustling with voices and full of lively activity.

Compared to more than a hundred years ago, the current Luo Chuan Gathering Place is countless times more prosperous.

Lin Yuan sat in front of a tavern, taking large bites of the Vicious Beast leg meat in front of him.

In this Two-Dimensional World, the power of heaven and earth and the energy of heaven and earth do not exist.

The only way to replenish consumption is by eating.

"The changes over these hundred years are truly huge."

Lin Yuan ate for a while, swallowed all the meat, and felt quite emotional inside.

One or two hundred years ago, the Twelve Ancient Kingdoms ruled over vast territories and were absolute Dominators.

But ever since the ten thousand races experts descended, the ruling status of the Twelve Ancient Kingdoms has been constantly shaken,

until ninety-four years ago, when a ten thousand races expert from the Main Universe charged into the capital of a certain Ancient Kingdom, making seven entries and seven exits, leaving the many Experts of the Ancient Kingdom helpless.

Ever since then, the remaining Ancient Kingdoms have kept a much lower profile.

And the ten thousand races experts did not commit any excessive acts; they merely took away the foundational treasures of the Ancient Countries, which were strange items similar to the bronze compass and the blood-colored long saber.

The ten thousand races experts had no interest in ruling the power status of this Two-Dimensional World; their goal was very clear, which was to enhance their strength.

Enhancing strength through various methods so that they could reach the end when the Heavenly Gate opened and return to the Main Universe.

"One hundred and twenty-three years ago, the ten thousand races experts who descended upon this world exceeded one hundred million."

"But now… Although there is no explicit statistical count, the ten thousand races experts who are still alive should not exceed one million."

Lin Yuan shook his head slightly.

The descended ten thousand races experts suffered heavy casualties of over half in the very first wave, and thereafter faced with this situation, as well as the mutual slaughter among ten thousand races experts nearly decades ago,

caused the true number of ten thousand races experts to plummet.

"A hundred years of Cultivation without paying attention to external matters, and my strength has long since stepped into the Witch Ancestor Realm."

As early as eighty-seven years ago, Lin Yuan had already achieved Breakthrough to the Witch Ancestor. As for the current Realm,

according to the exploration of the post-Witch Ancestor Realm by the ten thousand races experts in the Main Universe,

the Realms at the Witch Ancestor level are divided into the First Realm, the Second Realm, and the Third Realm.

Corresponding to Witch Ancestor Early Stage, Witch Ancestor Middle Stage, and Witch Ancestor Peak.

Then Lin Yuan's true Realm right now should be the eighteenth Realm of the Witch Ancestor.

According to the standard of three Realms forming a major Realm, Lin Yuan has surpassed the Witch Ancestor Realm by five major Realms.

"My current strength, even if inferior to the Four-Armed Divine King, is not far off. Another hundred years and I will catch up, and there are still nearly two hundred years until the opening of the Heavenly Gate."

Lin Yuan thought to himself. Theoretically, two hundred years later, his strength should far surpass the Four-Armed Divine King by a large margin.

But Lin Yuan did not completely put his mind at ease. Up until now, the surviving ten thousand races experts were still close to one million; who knew if there were Experts surpassing the Four-Armed Divine King?

The Four-Armed Divine King was only the strongest among the ten thousand races experts on the surface, but in secret, might there exist someone like Lin Yuan who secretly enhanced their strength solely to wait for the final battle when the Heavenly Gate opened?

Besides this possibility, the influence of strange items must also be taken into consideration.

An offensive-type strange item was enough to make the strength of a ten thousand races expert soar by several tiers; for instance, Hou Zhu of the Prison Clan was not prominent among Tier 11 life forms.

But relying on a blood-colored long saber, he became a super expert second only to the Four-Armed Divine King.

"Take it slowly. Even if I miss this Heavenly Gate, there will be a next time." Lin Yuan was not in a hurry at all. His comprehension of the Everlasting Cultivation Method caused his Lifespan to reach a terrifying degree.

This time won't do?

Then the next time.

Absolutely not taking a shred of risk.

"It's just that in recent decades, it frequently happens that groups of ten thousand races experts join forces with each other, searching in all directions to find the 'strange items' scattered in various corners."

Lin Yuan frowned slightly. "If other ten thousand races experts are discovered, whoever can be dealt with will be casually dealt with."

This was also very normal, belonging to clearing-the-field behavior. After all, as long as they were ten thousand races experts, they were essentially in a competitive relationship, contending for the entry quota to the Heavenly Gate two hundred years later.

Sweeping other irrelevant competitors out of the game in advance was too normal.

Admittedly, ten thousand and two hundred years later, there would still be a second opening of the Heavenly Gate, but it is estimated that the vast majority of ten thousand races experts could not withstand ten thousand years of time.

Not every ten thousand races expert could easily comprehend a method to prolong life like Lin Yuan did.

Furthermore, even if they could endure until the second opening of the Heavenly Gate, could it be that competition would no longer be necessary?

Of course, the clearing-the-field behavior was only incidental; the true purpose of these ten thousand races experts was still the 'strange items'.

Inside the Two-Dimensional World, a 'strange item' that could only manifest tiny power, when placed in the Main Universe, was a twelve-star treasure and rare weapon.

Even Tier 11 Perfection life forms like the Four-Armed Divine King found it very difficult to come into contact with treasures of this level.

And now, such treasures actually gave even Tier 8 and Tier 9 Experts hope of obtaining them. How could this not drive the ten thousand races experts crazy?

Moreover, the obtained 'strange items' not only had great uses when brought back to the Main Universe, but also had huge enhancement effects within this Two-Dimensional World.

Over the past hundred years, it frequently happened that a certain ten thousand races expert, relying on an offensive 'strange item', consecutively killed dozens of peers of the same level.

"Even if we can't get out in the end, as long as a fellow clansman expert gets out, all the strange items can be handed over to that fellow clansman expert to bring out." Lin Yuan thought to himself.

In this way, even if the Clone perished here and the true main body suffered fundamental losses, it wasn't considered too much of a loss; after all, a twelve-star level treasure and rare weapon was brought out.

The Supreme Powerhouses within the clan would not treat them unfairly.

"Strange items?"

Lin Yuan pondered in his heart. For over a hundred years, he had been wholeheartedly meditating and cultivating, and the furthest place he had ever been to was Dongyuan City. He had made no progress in collecting strange items.

So far, the only strange item in his hands was still that bronze compass.

"When I have time, I can also go get a strange item to protect myself."

Lin Yuan thought to himself, even holding a strange item had a limited enhancement to one's own strength.

With Lin Yuan's current strength, even if those Experts at the thirteenth and fifteenth Realms of the Witch Ancestor held strange items, they were simply not his opponents at all.

Xia You Evolution Tower.

A wisp of Lin Yuan's Incarnation sat here, comprehending the extraterrestrial aurora not far away.

Over a year ago, Lin Yuan's Taiyin Primordial Spirit arrived, and shortly after, left an Incarnation behind and departed.

Sensing the extraterrestrial aurora with just an Incarnation was enough; after all, there was no danger whatsoever.

As for the Taiyin Primordial Spirit, Lin Yuan immediately had it head to other large Alien Race Battlefields to maintain the absorption and accumulation speed of the Boundary-Breaking Source Power.

[Your Comprehension Ability is Heaven-Defying, observing the unknown aurora, your comprehension of the Light Rules deepens.]

[Your Comprehension Ability is Heaven-Defying, observing the unknown aurora, your comprehension of the Karma Rules deepens.]

[Your Comprehension Ability is Heaven-Defying, observing the unknown aurora, achieving a thorough mastery through comprehensive study, and comprehending the Karma Fluctuation Rules.]

"Karma Fluctuation Rules?" A smile appeared on Lin Yuan's face.

This Fusion Rule encompassed four rules including Space Rules, Light Rules, and Karma Rules. Although its frontal slaughter was not strong, it had incredible effects in terms of assistance.

"Karma Fluctuation? Karma Line? As long as I am willing to pay a price to erase the 'cause' of a certain existence, then the subsequent 'effect' will also disappear along with it?"

Lin Yuan's expression was full of amazement. "This kind of disappearance is a complete disappearance, the kind of disappearance that even Supreme Powerhouses cannot resurrect?"

"However, the price is quite large, and it also requires a sufficient 'medium'." Lin Yuan shook his head slightly.

Anything involving Karma Rules required paying a price as the most basic requirement. Karma curse-killing required a price, and now the Karma fluctuation line also required a price.

"With my current life level, can I erase the Karma of life forms at Tier 6 and below?" Lin Yuan thought to himself.

"Let's continue comprehending."

Lin Yuan pondered for a moment, then continued to observe the extraterrestrial aurora in the distance.

Two-Dimensional World.

Lin Yuan was Cultivating.

Right at this moment,

Cha Rangu hurried over.

"Master, according to news received from the Blood Rain Tavern, recently there have frequently been traces of fierce slaughter within the Blood Rain Ancient Kingdom." Cha Rangu said quickly.

"Traces of fierce slaughter?"

Lin Yuan's heart stirred slightly.

Being able to alarm the Blood Rain Tavern and directly transmit news to him through Cha Rangu meant that the fierceness here was definitely out of the ordinary.

"Could it be that those powerful ten thousand races experts have started searching the Blood Rain Ancient Kingdom, looking everywhere for strange items while incidentally killing ordinary ten thousand races experts hiding within the Blood Rain Ancient Kingdom, clearing the field for the opening of the Heavenly Gate two hundred years later?"

Lin Yuan deduced roughly in his heart.

Thinking of this, the true main body of Lin Yuan in the Main Universe

quickly connected to the Virtual World, entering the shared information network world established specially for Human Civilization Evolvers who fell into the Two-Dimensional World,

and began querying information.

This shared information network world promptly shared various intelligence of the Two-Dimensional World, and could be considered the main source for Human Civilization Evolvers to obtain information.

Before long,

Lin Yuan found some related information.

Six months ago in the Two-Dimensional World, a group of special life forms led by Tuoba Ancient God began joining forces to enter the territory of the Blood Rain Ancient Kingdom, searching everywhere for 'strange items'.

The Human Civilization Evolver who posted this information also made a special reminder: Tuoba Ancient God was powerful, and the group of special life forms joining forces with him were at least Experts at the tenth Realm of the Witch Ancestor.

If there were Human Evolvers hiding within the Blood Rain Ancient Kingdom, they must escape in advance.

Otherwise, if discovered by Tuoba Ancient God and that group of special life forms, it would be too late to want to leave.

Up to now, Tuoba Ancient God and other special life forms had all defected to the Starry Sky Alliance and would not stop because of the deterrence of Human Civilization.

"Tuoba Ancient God?"

Lin Yuan continued to check the latest information regarding this Ancient God.

As a super expert ranked twelfth among the ten thousand races experts a hundred years ago, even if Tuoba Ancient God's ranking dropped slightly during the century, he still maintained it within the top twenty.

His true Realm was probably at the twelfth Realm of the Witch Ancestor.

One thing worth mentioning was that Tuoba Ancient God possessed a defensive-type 'strange item', which was also Tuoba Ancient God's greatest source of confidence and backing.

"A defensive-type 'strange item'?" Lin Yuan felt somewhat moved.

Leaving aside whether this defensive strange item would be a defense-type twelve-star rare weapon when brought to the Main Universe,

just in this Two-Dimensional World, a defensive strange item would greatly enhance Lin Yuan's self-preservation ability, and his fault-tolerance for survival would also be significantly raised.

"Tuoba Ancient God, it's just right to settle new and old grudges together." Lin Yuan stood up and disappeared from where he was.
