Chapter 385: The Tough Supreme Powerhouse

Supreme Being Xia Qin looked at Lin Yuan while quickly thinking to himself.

As a Twelve-Order Life, how fast was the thinking speed of Supreme Being Xia Qin?

In just a split second, he deduced various reasons and possibilities of why Lin Yuan was asking about the twentieth Realm of the Witch Ancestor.

The most easily deduced reason and possibility was that Lin Yuan was already at the nineteenth Realm of the Witch Ancestor.

Being at the nineteenth Realm of the Witch Ancestor, wanting to know the profound mysteries of the twentieth Realm of the Witch Ancestor was completely normal.

However, this reason and possibility were far too unimaginable.

The nineteenth Realm of the Witch Ancestor? Currently in the Two-Dimensional World, whether those Eleven-Tier Perfection legendary life forms had reached this level was questionable.

Lin Yuan was merely a Tier 10 life, no matter how Heaven-Defying he was, there should still be some limits, right?

Besides this reason and possibility, Supreme Being Xia Qin also deduced many other reasons and possibilities.

For example, Lin Yuan wanted to see further, to know the general outline of the twentieth Realm of the Witch Ancestor, or simply asking out of pure curiosity, and so on.

"What Realm of the Witch Ancestor are you at now?" Supreme Being Xia Qin was silent for a moment and couldn't help asking.

The Two-Dimensional World within the white paper could block the detection of Supreme Powerhouses.

Therefore, even Supreme Being Xia Qin could not see Lin Yuan's specific Realm level at this moment.

"I am currently—" Lin Yuan thought for a moment and did not hide it, "At the nineteenth Realm."

Facing the Supreme Powerhouse of his own clan, Lin Yuan would choose to hide Heaven-Defying opportunities exceeding the Twelfth Order, such as the Gate of Myriad Realms and the Mysterious Gourd, but as for other things, there was no need to hide them.

Strength and Realm within the Two-Dimensional World? Only by accurately informing his own strength could he receive guidance from Supreme Being Xia Qin.

Towards Supreme Powerhouses, Lin Yuan still held deep admiration. Any life form capable of becoming a Supreme Powerhouse was undoubtedly someone with great perseverance; relying solely on Aptitude and talent alone could not make one become Ultimate.

"Really at the nineteenth Realm of the Witch Ancestor?" Supreme Being Xia Qin looked at Lin Yuan, even though he had anticipated it long ago in his heart.

But when Lin Yuan said it himself, Supreme Being Xia Qin was still somewhat shocked.

The nine of them, Supreme Powerhouses, joined hands to replicate the Two-Dimensional World using the 'Void Realm Heaven and Earth', descended into it to deduce for nearly a hundred years, and finally obtained the generalized cultivation method from the first Realm to the sixteenth Realm of the Witch Ancestor.

As a result, Lin Yuan stepped into the nineteenth Realm of the Witch Ancestor all by himself?

Indeed, the 'Two-Dimensional World' where the nine Supreme Powerhouses of Human Civilization descended was forcibly replicated by the Void Realm Heaven and Earth, with a similarity degree of only one or two tenths.

Furthermore, the cultivation method deduced by the nine Supreme Powerhouses was not limited to a certain life form, but could achieve a certain degree of popularization.

In terms of difficulty, it was definitely higher than the cultivation methods figured out by Experts within the Two-Dimensional World.

Yet they were Supreme Powerhouses! They were Ultimate Existences! They were Twelve-Order Life!

The vision and discernment of Supreme Powerhouses far exceeded Eleven-Tier life, not to mention that Lin Yuan was merely Tier 10.

Under this circumstance, it was understandable for those Eleven-Tier Perfection legendary life forms to grope their way to the eighteenth or nineteenth Realms of the Witch Ancestor, but Lin Yuan?

"You?" Supreme Being Xia Qin sighed, "You really scared me."

Originally, when a Clone of Lin Yuan fell into the Two-Dimensional World, Supreme Being Xia Qin was still exceptionally worried, feeling that it would affect Lin Yuan's hope of charging towards Ultimate.

The joint effort of the nine Supreme Powerhouses of Human Civilization to urge the Void Realm Heaven and Earth to replicate the Two-Dimensional World required a price that was not low.

Yet Supreme Being Xia Qin still insisted on doing so, solely out of worry that Lin Yuan's Clone would truly perish in the Two-Dimensional World.

But looking at it now, Supreme Being Xia Qin's worry was completely redundant.

If Lin Yuan truly possessed the strength of the nineteenth Realm of the Witch Ancestor, he must be living quite comfortably in that Two-Dimensional World.

"I also barely stepped into the nineteenth Realm of the Witch Ancestor not long ago." Lin Yuan immediately said.

"Not long ago?"

"And barely?"

Supreme Being Xia Qin glanced at Lin Yuan.

"With you being able to Cultivate to the nineteenth Realm of the Witch Ancestor in such a short time, my Human Civilization doesn't need to take the initiative to beg the Starry Sky Alliance anymore."

A smile appeared on the face of Supreme Being Xia Qin.

"Beg the Starry Sky Alliance?"

Lin Yuan was slightly stunned.

The Starry Sky Alliance was an Alliance formed by numerous special life forms within the Universe, standing at the same level of power as the grand Alliance of Peak Groups such as Human Civilization.

"Without begging the Starry Sky Alliance, those wondrous items in the Two-Dimensional World are very hard to bring out." Supreme Being Xia Qin said, "So far, the Four-Armed Divine King of the Starry Sky Alliance is the life form most likely to pass through the Sky Gate and return to the Cosmic Starry Sky."

"The wondrous items obtained by Evolvers of my Human Civilization in the Two-Dimensional World can only be brought out with the help of the Four-Armed Divine King."

Supreme Being Xia Qin explained.

Those wondrous items could only display their maximum value once brought out of the Two-Dimensional World.

However, the performance of Human Civilization Evolvers in the Two-Dimensional World was not strong. At least from the current situation, they could not compete with Experts like the Four-Armed Divine King for the quota to enter the Sky Gate.

But at this moment, upon learning of Lin Yuan's strength, hope abruptly rose in Supreme Being Xia Qin's heart.

According to Lin Yuan's current Realm, even if he was still not a match for the Four-Armed Divine King, he could completely set his goal on the next-next opening of the Sky Gate.

"So that's how it is."

Lin Yuan nodded.

Begging the Starry Sky Alliance and the Four-Armed Divine King would inevitably exact a greater price, since this was begging after all.

Yet Human Civilization had no other options; who asked for the advantages of special life forms to be infinitely magnified in the Two-Dimensional World?

Not only Human Civilization, but Peak Groups like the Zerg and the Heaven Wing Clan were similarly unable to compete with special life forms like the Starry Sky Alliance in the Two-Dimensional World.

"Of course, if you are able to leave the Two-Dimensional World through the Sky Gate later and bring out those wondrous items of my Human Civilization, we definitely won't let you do it for free; 50% of each wondrous item's value will be shared with you based on its worth."

Supreme Being Xia Qin immediately said.

Just bringing the wondrous items out resulted in sharing 50% of the value, which seemed very exaggerated.

But you must know that if the wondrous items were not brought out, for Human Civilization, it would be equivalent to having zero harvest.

And this 50% value was not given to the Starry Sky Alliance, but rather to one's own people. Supreme Being Xia Qin was still quite happy with this.

"No problem."

Lin Yuan immediately said.

This was equivalent to a benefit given for free.

"It's just that I don't know whether I can enter the Sky Gate at all."

Lin Yuan said with some hesitation.

"With your cultivation speed, as long as you avoid the Four-Armed Divine King and focus your energy on the second or third opening of the Sky Gate, the hope is still quite large."

Supreme Being Xia Qin said.

"Avoid the Four-Armed Divine King?"

Lin Yuan's heart stirred. Whether in the Two-Dimensional World or the Main Universe, the prestige of the Four-Armed Divine King was immense.

"Right, the supreme weapon of the Four-Armed Divine King is completely suited to him. Even if your Realm is higher than his and your strength is stronger than his, your comprehensive combat power is another matter."

"With your potential and cultivation speed, there is no need to compete with the Four-Armed Divine King; the risk is simply too great."

Supreme Being Xia Qin shook his head and said.

"Understood."

Lin Yuan's thoughts coincided with those of Supreme Being Xia Qin.

Unless he had absolute certainty, Lin Yuan would not take risks to compete for the quota of the first opening of the Sky Gate.

Time was on Lin Yuan's side. The longer the time, the greater the advantage brought by Lin Yuan's Heaven-Defying Comprehension Ability.

In just over a hundred years, Lin Yuan was about to catch up to those Eleven-Tier Perfection legendary life forms. Give it another ten thousand years, and Lin Yuan himself wouldn't know what level he would reach.

"By the way."

"Since you are already at the nineteenth Realm of the Witch Ancestor, the cultivation method deduced by us doesn't hold much meaning anymore. However, that trace of power essence captured by replicating the Two-Dimensional World using the 'Void Realm Heaven and Earth', you can contemplate it."

Supreme Being Xia Qin said. The power essence captured through the 'Void Realm Heaven and Earth' was the Foundation for the nine Supreme Powerhouses to deduce the Witch Ancestor cultivation method.

Originally, such power essence, even if placed in front of those Tier 10 or Eleven-Tier life forms, could not be comprehended much.

But upon seeing Lin Yuan's performance, Supreme Being Xia Qin had a different view.

Anyway, it was just for Lin Yuan to contemplate, and there wouldn't be any loss.

"Power essence?"

Lin Yuan's eyes lit up.

Being in the Two-Dimensional World and contemplating the power essence of that world, he was suppressed by the world itself, so his progress was very slow.

However, in the outside world, without the restrictions of the Two-Dimensional World itself, observing the power essence again would definitely yield immense gains.

"Mm, your True Body is on the Galaxy Main Star, right? I will have Supreme Being Yu Die guide a trace of the power of the 'Void Realm Heaven and Earth' for you to comprehend."

Supreme Being Xia Qin said.

"Many thanks, Supreme Powerhouse." Lin Yuan said with considerable gratitude.

Making the dignified Supreme Being Yu Die run errands—perhaps throughout the history of Human Civilization, not many people had enjoyed such treatment.

Deep within the Cosmic Starry Sky.

A mysterious 'scroll' slowly unfolded.

Dozens of towering figures stood nearby.

"Xia Qin, how is it? Have you considered it?"

A massive figure, standing billions of li tall, transmitted a voice to Supreme Being Xia Qin, "The relationship between your Human Civilization and our Starry Sky Alliance is decent. This time when the Heaven's Gate opens inside the Two-Dimensional World, as long as you are willing to split off 60% of the exotic treasures, I will have the Four-Armed Divine King bring out the exotic treasures found by your Human Civilization Evolvers?"

"This deal is very cost-effective. Toward the Zerg and the Heaven Wing Clan, I want 70% or even 80% of the exotic treasures."

The massive figure looked at Supreme Being Xia Qin. He was a Twelve-Order Life of the Starry Sky Alliance, leading countless special life forms to contend against several Peak Groups and factions.

"I will consider it," Supreme Being Xia Qin said in a calm tone.

"Consider it?" The massive figure was slightly stunned. "Xia Qin, you weren't like this before."

The massive figure was somewhat puzzled. Not long ago, he had discussed this with Supreme Being Xia Qin, and the latter had been quite enthusiastic.

But now?

The massive figure clearly realized the change before and after.

"Your asking price is too high." Supreme Being Xia Qin knew Lin Yuan's true strength, so his confidence had become very solid; now he was just dragging the other party along.

"If the asking price is high, we can negotiate," the massive figure immediately said.

"Then I will consider it," Supreme Being Xia Qin said again, and the topic returned to the starting point.

"Fine, you consider it." The massive figure said no more. "But time is limited, and by then it won't be as little as 60% of the exotic treasures."

The aura of the exotic treasures within the Two-Dimensional World was restrained to the extreme. Even as strong as the Four-Armed Divine King, they could only recognize them after getting close to the exotic treasures and using numerous methods.

Therefore, as long as the Human Civilization Evolvers scattered and hid the harvested exotic treasures in hidden locations, even if the Four-Armed Divine King slaughtered all the Human Evolvers, they would not be able to obtain the exotic treasures.

Outside the Galaxy Main Star.

A virtual aura condensed, forming the figure of Supreme Being Yu Die.

"This little fellow actually cultivated to the Nineteenth Realm of the Witch Ancestor?" Supreme Being Yu Die looked at the distant Galaxy Main Star, still thinking in her mind about what Supreme Being Xia Qin had told her.

"How on earth did he Cultivate? Without the high horizons and comprehension of power of a Tier 11 life, how could he possibly have such a fast cultivation speed?"

Supreme Being Yu Die was astonished in her heart, and then a smile appeared on her face as well. "However, this is for the best. At least in that Two-Dimensional World, our Human Civilization also possesses Peak combat strength."

"Void Realm Heaven and Earth."

Supreme Being Yu Die's thoughts stirred slightly, and strands of illusory power crossed endless light-years to descend upon the Galaxy Main Star. To be precise, it descended into the Star Lord Main Hall on the main star.

Star Lord Main Hall.

Lin Yuan sat cross-legged.

Suddenly.

Strands of illusory power condensed.

"This is?"

Lin Yuan quickly opened his eyes. "The power of the Void Realm Heaven and Earth, the town-clan weapon of our Human Civilization?"

Void Realm Heaven and Earth was acclaimed to be able to replicate everything, capable of replicating even the myriad rules of the Universe. Coupled with the 'Land Outside the World', it allowed the cultivation speed of Human Civilization Tier 10 Evolvers to achieve a massive enhancement.

It was said that the supreme evolution path of Supreme Being Yu Die, one of the Nine Supreme Experts of Human Civilization, came from the Void Realm Heaven and Earth.

The Void Realm Heaven and Earth originated from before the long dormant years of Human Civilization, during that unprecedented greatest Opportunity, when countless treasures and legacies fell into the Universe like rain.

Hum.

Wisps of illusory power condensed and lingered. Vaguely, the full view of a miniature Two-Dimensional World was revealed before Lin Yuan.

"Is this the true appearance of that Two-Dimensional World?" Lin Yuan observed carefully.

Lin Yuan's Solar Nascent Soul had fallen into that Two-Dimensional World. For him, it was difficult to fully perceive the entirety of the Two-Dimensional World.

It was akin to the illusion of being deep in the mountains, where the clouds are too dense to know one's location.

But now, Lin Yuan had a concrete concept of this Two-Dimensional World.

"So the essence of the power of the Two-Dimensional World is like this?"

Lin Yuan observed carefully, while his Solar Nascent Soul inside the Two-Dimensional World sensed the true aura of the Two-Dimensional World, reflecting against the intuitive perception of the entire Two-Dimensional World.

[ Your Heaven-Defying Comprehension allows you to perceive the power essence of the mysterious world, and your own accumulation grows slowly. ]

Compared to the Supreme Powerhouses of Human Civilization, who could only separately perceive the overall aura of the Two-Dimensional World, Lin Yuan had a Primordial Spirit located inside the Two-Dimensional World.

Comparing the two, the gains he obtained were much greater than those of the Supreme Powerhouses.

"That's not right."

"Why do I feel that the Two-Dimensional World replicated by the Void Realm Heaven and Earth is incomplete, and seems to be only a part?" Lin Yuan felt a slight shock in his heart.

With the Solar Nascent Soul contrasting within the real Two-Dimensional World, Lin Yuan immediately realized that the Two-Dimensional World replicated by the Void Realm Heaven and Earth was vaguely defective.

This made Lin Yuan somewhat incredulous.

Given the depth of the Two-Dimensional World, it was completely normal that the Void Realm Heaven and Earth could not fully replicate it.

Supreme Being Xia Qin had also specifically told Lin Yuan that compared to the true Two-Dimensional World, the similarity of the Two-Dimensional World replicated by the Void Realm Heaven and Earth was only one-tenth or two-tenths.

But similarity and completeness versus defectiveness were two different matters.

For example, if one wanted to replicate a famous painting, perhaps in terms of detail and brushwork, the replica could not compare with the original at all.

But at least in terms of size and dimensions, the replica and the true famous painting should not differ much.

Yet now, the Two-Dimensional World replicated before his eyes by the Void Realm Heaven and Earth seemed much smaller than the true Two-Dimensional World.

"Two possibilities."

"First, my perception is wrong."

"Second, inside the Two-Dimensional World, there is an even vaster hidden space, but the Void Realm Heaven and Earth cannot capture it and thus cannot replicate it."

Lin Yuan thought to himself.

"That Two-Dimensional World." Lin Yuan looked up towards a certain direction, which was the exact position where the 'white paper' finally stopped.

Around the 'white paper', any matter would automatically undergo dimensional reduction. If no Supreme Powerhouse stepped in to stop it, it would presumably turn one-percent of this Universe's region into a scroll of painting.

"Forget it."

"What secrets are hidden inside that Two-Dimensional World anyway, what does it have to do with me?"

Lin Yuan pondered for a moment and stopped thinking about it. Right now, his most urgent matter was to enhance his strength as much as possible.

Then, when the Heaven's Gate opened, he would defeat the remaining competitors, walk out of the Two-Dimensional World, and return to the Main Universe.

Two-Dimensional World.

While perceiving the essence of heaven and earth, Lin Yuan took out the silver mirror and gently stroked it.

"How on earth is this mirror used?"

Lin Yuan observed carefully. According to the intelligence he had obtained, before this silver mirror was acquired by Tuoba Ancient God, its owner should have been an expert of the Ice Clan.

This Ice Clan expert had obtained the mirror for decades and perhaps had figured out some uses for it.

It was just that after that Ice Clan expert died at the hands of Tuoba Ancient God, their true Physical Body went directly into seclusion. Even if Lin Yuan concealed his identity to contact the other party, he couldn't reach them.

"If dropping blood doesn't work, let's try psychic power." Lin Yuan cautiously probed outward with a trace of psychic power.

Within the Two-Dimensional World, although all extraordinary powers were suppressed, psychic power was the most essential power of life, transcending beyond the Physical Body and blood.

Even in this Two-Dimensional World, psychic power was still allowed to exist.

However, like other extraordinary powers, psychic power was also suppressed to a great extent.

Lin Yuan was currently at the Nineteenth Realm of the Witch Ancestor and had condensed quite a bit of psychic power, which gave him the confidence to consume a portion of it on the mirror.

If it were replaced by other ten thousand races experts, losing a trace of psychic power would presumably cause negative effects such as state degradation and a drastic reduction in strength.

"Hmm?"

"This mirror is absorbing psychic power?"

Lin Yuan's spirit roused. As his own psychic power touched the mirror's surface, it felt a trace of suction.

Just as Lin Yuan intended to consume a portion of his psychic power to figure out the use of the silver mirror in one go,

Cha Rangu appeared outside, wishing to request an audience with Lin Yuan.

"Come in."

Lin Yuan put away the silver mirror and spoke.

"Master."

Cha Rangu said in a respectful tone.

"What major event?"

Lin Yuan looked towards Cha Rangu. Before going into seclusion, he had instructed the other party not to disturb him unless there was a major event.

"The royal Family of the Blood Rain Ancient Kingdom wishes to pay respects to Master," Cha Rangu said quickly.

"The royal Family of the Blood Rain Ancient Kingdom?" Lin Yuan shook his head and said, "Not interested."

If it were at the very beginning of his descent, Lin Yuan might have been quite wary of the Blood Rain Ancient Kingdom's royal Family.

But now? Let alone the royal Family of the Blood Rain Ancient Kingdom, even if the royal families of the Twelve Ancient Kingdoms were added together, Lin Yuan would not even frown.

"The royal Family of the Blood Rain Ancient Kingdom says they have a heavy treasure to offer,"

Cha Rangu said.

"A heavy treasure?" Lin Yuan's heart suddenly stirred.
