Chapter 86: Return! Global Top Ten? Why So Weak?

Chapter 86: Return! Global Top Ten? Why So Weak?

In a daze.

Lin Yuan opened his eyes.

"Am I dead just like that?"

The scene after stepping into the space crack surfaced in Lin Yuan's mind.

It was an endless turbulent flow of space.

No color, no direction.

Before Lin Yuan could even react, his body began to collapse.

The Taiji Field, Physical Body, mind, Soul, and everything else.

All collapsed completely.

"Fortunately, I didn't enter twenty years ago, otherwise I would have really wasted this period of time."

Lin Yuan thought to himself.

As early as when he first saw that space crack, an extreme sense of danger had welled up in Lin Yuan's heart.

So he had decisively left.

Using these twenty years, he continued to travel the world.

Walking and comprehending the Dao, while also resolving several disasters for the Great Yan Dynasty along the way,

He nurtured several Martial Gods, completely securing the position of the Liu family's reign.

"How exactly did that Ancient God from ten thousand years ago leave?"

Lin Yuan was slightly puzzled,

According to his speculation, the Ancient God was at most at the Peak of the fourth stage,

and absolutely could not have exceeded the fifth stage.

And facing that level of turbulent space, even a fifth-stage being wouldn't survive for long.

"Whatever."

Lin Yuan couldn't be bothered to overthink it.

He began to take stock of this shuttle.

Without a doubt, in this shuttle, Lin Yuan's greatest harvest

was opening up the third and fourth stages of the Martial Dao Evolution system.

Although Lin Yuan had already stepped into the third stage before the shuttle,

that was only newly entering the third stage,

while the subsequent Middle Stage, Late Stage, and Peak of the third stage,

were all perfected in the Divine Weapon World.

In the end, he even stepped into the fourth stage in one fell swoop.

One must know that the cultivation path Lin Yuan chose was the most difficult path of the essence of rules.

If it were just a common Breakthrough to the fourth stage, Lin Yuan wouldn't have needed to waste so much time at all.

"The essence of rules."

Lin Yuan stepped down from the nutrient pod, faintly sensing the vast and endless grand rules of the Cosmic Starry Sky coming from all directions.

Compared to the essence of rules in the Divine Weapon World, the essence of rules in the Main World was incomparably stronger.

It was not only vast, but also far more complete.

In the Main World, wanting to forcibly extract its essence of rules like the Ancient God did was almost impossible.

This wasn't a matter of strength; anyone who dared to do so would inevitably be crushed by the power of the Main World's massive world.

"A little over two days have passed, which is quite fine."

Lin Yuan glanced at the time, having a clear idea.

One hundred and sixty years in the Divine Weapon World was only a little over fifty hours in the Main World.

"My current Realm… is probably equivalent to the ninth tier of the fourth stage?"

Lin Yuan examined himself. After suppressing the sun moon spear, only a little over a decade had passed before Lin Yuan stepped into the fourth stage.

The next eight or nine years were spent setting up nodes in the Five Mountains Battlefield,

so as to form a Taiji Furnace to suppress the thirty-five divine weapons.

And the subsequent twenty years of walking the world

were entirely spent on cultivating and comprehending the Dao.

The first to ninth tiers of the fourth stage were basically perfected during these twenty years.

Of course, Realm is just Realm,

Lin Yuan's current strength still remained at the initial tier of the third stage.

"Once I choose the cosmic spiritual items, I will be able to recover very quickly."

Lin Yuan opened the mall and began to make his selection.

For an Evolver, the most important thing was their own Realm.

As for energy intensity? Without the control of a Realm, it was utterly meaningless.

"These two will do."

Lin Yuan pondered for a moment and finalized his selection of spiritual items.

Lin Yuan's current cultivation system was still the Taiji path with Yin and Yang as its core.

So the cosmic spiritual items he chose were naturally Yin-attribute and Yang-attribute spiritual items.

"1.2 billion."

Lin Yuan glanced at the price.

In this shuttle, the levels Lin Yuan crossed far exceeded the previous two times.

From the initial tier of the third stage to the ninth tier of the fourth stage, it was a full difference of twenty-one tiers.

Therefore, the quality and level of the cosmic spiritual items chosen this time were naturally very high.

In fact,

without level four citizen clearance, no matter how much money Lin Yuan had,

he wouldn't even be able to see cosmic spiritual items of this quality.

"I'm still short on money…"

Lin Yuan sighed.

Normally speaking, for a third-stage initial tier Evolver to Cultivate to the fourth-stage ninth tier, even if everything went smoothly without being hindered by Bottlenecks, it would still take hundreds or thousands of years.

And this was under the premise of having a complete evolution path to guide them.

For a third-stage Evolver, spreading the 1.2 billion cultivation consumption over several hundred years was not a pressure at all.

It was only for an abnormal freak like Lin Yuan, whose speed of improvement was too fast in a short period, that caused his wealth to fall behind.

"As a level four citizen, I have a loan limit of one billion, plus my prize money from the arena tournament."

Lin Yuan verified his identity information and purchased those two cosmic spiritual items.

This arena tournament's team competition had provided Lin Yuan with nearly one billion in prize money.

As for the individual competition, since it hadn't ended yet, all the prize money would be settled together after it concluded.

"Let's upload the 'Third Stage Chapter' that I comprehended during this shuttle."

Lin Yuan saw that his savings balance had dropped by a chunk, and made a decision in his heart.

Uploading the subsequent parts of the Martial Dao Evolution Path had only benefits and no harms for Lin Yuan.

First of all, he could obtain a large amount of Merit Points.

In the Cosmic Human Alliance, Merit Points were extremely important.

There were three main ways for normal citizens to obtain Merit Points.

First was joining the military and heading to the border to fight foreign races.

Killing each foreign race member was a contribution to the entire Human Civilization, so one could obtain the corresponding Merit Points.

Second was serving the Cosmic Human Civilization, which would eventually grant corresponding Merit Points based on the assessment of the Three Goddesses.

For example, the Governor of Canglan Star,

if during his administration, the satisfaction of the Canglan Star citizens was very high,

and he made actual contributions to the planet, he could obtain corresponding Merit Point rewards.

Third was research and invention, which included various new discoveries, including evolution paths and other types of technology.

Aside from the three categories mentioned above, there were also other ways to obtain Merit Points.

For instance, accidentally discovering traces of foreign races or their conspiracies,

and then reporting it to the Goddess of Wisdom, preventing losses for Human Civilization.

Afterward, the Goddess of Wisdom would fairly judge the importance of this intelligence and award Merit Points accordingly.

In Lin Yuan's mind, uploading an evolution path was undoubtedly the most cost-effective way to obtain Merit Points.

As for killing foreign races? The battlefields on the borders of the territory were full of dangers, and there was no need for Lin Yuan to take this risk.

And serving the Cosmic Human Alliance? Holding some official position was too troublesome, and there was also the pressure of 'achievements'.

Additionally,

perfecting the Martial Dao Evolution Path had another benefit.

That was raising its ranking on the evolution list.

One must know, it wasn't that once Lin Yuan uploaded the evolution path to the Goddess of Wisdom,

this evolution path would no longer belong to him; Lin Yuan was still the creator of the evolution path.

Within the scope of the Cosmic Human Alliance, for every citizen who purchased the Martial Dao Evolution Path to Cultivate, Lin Yuan could receive a thirty percent share of the revenue.

And as long as the potential of the Martial Dao Evolution Path was higher and its ranking on the evolution list was further ahead, the promotion it received would be greater.

Ultimately, the wealth Lin Yuan earned would also be greater.

Crucially, this income was continuous.

This was only the direct impact.

As the founder of a powerful evolution path, there were also many indirect and implicit influences.

"Third Stage Chapter."

Lin Yuan began to use his Heaven-Defying Comprehension to perform a certain degree of improvement on the Third Stage Chapter of the Martial Dao Evolution Path,

making it suitable for the citizens of the Main World to practice.

Two days later.

Lin Yuan opened his eyes.

"Goddess of Wisdom."

Lin Yuan directly connected to the Goddess of Wisdom.

"Respected level four citizen Lin Yuan, the Goddess of Wisdom is very pleased to serve you."

After he was promoted to a level four citizen, the Goddess of Wisdom's attitude toward Lin Yuan became increasingly gentle.

"I want to upload the Third Stage Chapter of the Martial Dao Evolution Path."

Lin Yuan spoke.

As for why there was no Fourth Stage Chapter, currently Lin Yuan himself was still at the ninth tier of the fourth stage,

and had not completely finished this level yet, so there was no need to upload it in advance.

Besides, the Third Stage Chapter was already enough.

The path of the essence of rules chosen by Lin Yuan was already reflected in the Third Stage Chapter.

*Buzz.*

Along with Lin Yuan rapidly uploading the content of the 'Third Stage Chapter',

in a mysterious space unknown light-years away from Canglan Star,

massive light screens flickered rapidly, and immense computing power crazily evaluated and deduced the value of the 'Third Stage Chapter' of the Martial Dao Evolution system.

The Third Stage Chapter uploaded by Lin Yuan was divided into the 'Martial God Chapter' and the 'Celestial Being Chapter'.

"Detected that the 'Martial God Chapter' contains a certain high-level method of forging the Physical Body. Detected that the 'Celestial Being Chapter' involves the power of the Origin rules, initiating re-evaluation of the potential of the Martial Dao Evolution Path…"

"Evaluation complete. The current Martial Dao Evolution Path has a 100% probability of promoting to a fifth-stage evolution path, and a 60% probability of promoting to a sixth-stage evolution path."

"The possibility of the Martial Dao Evolution Path promoting to a sixth-stage evolution path exceeds 50%, triggering the Charter Confidentiality Agreement."

"Related contingency plan generated. From now on, all promotions regarding the human citizen with citizen ID 123****** will be handled by the Three Goddesses, with no need for authorization from others."

"Initiating valuation of the Third Stage Chapter… 40,000 Merit Points. Querying whether to seek authorization from the highest-ranking citizen nearby… Not required."

Shuiyue Community.

Residence No. 32.

Lin Yuan was currently adapting to his current 'weak' Physical Body.

The solemn and cold voice of the Goddess of Wisdom resounded.

"Respected level four citizen Lin Yuan,"

"So fast?" Lin Yuan's expression was somewhat surprised.

Compared to the previous two times he uploaded the evolution path, the Goddess of Wisdom's response speed this time was noticeably much faster.

"After final determination, the Third Stage Chapter you uploaded is valued at 40,000 Merit Points,"

the Goddess of Wisdom gave her reply.

"Good." Lin Yuan nodded.

40,000 Merit Points was not the value of the entire Martial Dao Evolution Path, but the value of the Third Stage Chapter.

"A pity, I'm still short of some Merit Points to promote to a level five citizen."

Lin Yuan glanced at his Merit Point balance.

To promote from a level four citizen to a level five citizen, 50,000 Merit Points were required.

And the last time Lin Yuan promoted to a level four citizen, it consumed 10,000 Merit Points, leaving 9,000 Merit Points.

Now, adding the newly obtained 40,000 Merit Points, he had a total of 49,000 Merit Points.

"Let's take a look at the updated information of the Martial Dao Evolution Path."

With a slight thought, Lin Yuan called up his evolution system panel.

"The ultimate potential is still the sixth stage…"

Lin Yuan rubbed his chin.

A seventh-stage evolution path was much harder than he had imagined,

even the many essences of rules he had comprehended in the Divine Weapon World could not give the Martial Dao Evolution Path even a sliver of possibility to promote to the seventh stage.

"Perhaps… a seventh-stage evolution path has other limiting conditions?"

Lin Yuan pondered for a moment and continued to look down.

"A 100% possibility of promoting to a fifth-stage evolution system, and a 60% possibility of promoting to a sixth-stage evolution path."

A smile appeared on Lin Yuan's face.

If he remembered correctly, before uploading the Third Stage Chapter, the possibility of the Martial Dao Evolution Path promoting to a sixth-stage evolution path was only ten percent.

Now it had skyrocketed to sixty percent, which was clearly due to the essence of rules.

"Right."

"Where does the current Martial Dao Evolution system rank on the Canglan Evolution Ranking?"

With a hint of curiosity, Lin Yuan looked at the latest ranking of the Martial Dao Evolution Path.

If others wanted to know the real-time ranking of a certain evolution path, they had to wait for the Canglan Evolution Ranking to update.

As the founder of the Martial Dao Evolution Path, Lin Yuan could naturally view any real-time information of the Martial Dao Evolution Path.

"[Martial Dao Evolution Path: Canglan Evolution Ranking: First]"

Virtual World.

Personal room.

Lin Yuan sat cross-legged. At this moment, the environment simulated by his personal room was a vast desert.

The scorching air spread like blazing fire.

"Huh?"

Lin Yuan opened his eyes.

"President Liao is looking for me?"

Lin Yuan's mind stirred slightly.

The barren desert in front of him began to change.

Soon, it took the shape of a manor, with small bridges over flowing water, reminiscent of homes in the south of the Yangtze River.

The next moment,

President Liao's figure appeared on the chair opposite him.

"Mr. Lin Yuan."

President Liao was quite respectful toward Lin Yuan.

After all, the strength Lin Yuan displayed in the arena tournament had shattered President Liao's understanding time and time again.

Now, he had even fought his way into the top ten in the individual competition.

One must know that the arena tournament of Canglan Star was open to all Evolvers on Canglan Star.

For Lin Yuan to be able to fight his way into the top ten in such an arena, what kind of favored child of heaven was he?

Even without thinking, President Liao knew that once this arena tournament ended, Lin Yuan would soar to the sky, reaching a level that he could only look up to from afar.

"There is still a little over a week before the final battle for the top ten begins."

President Liao stated the purpose of his visit.

Although from his past record, it was easy to see that compared to the other monsters in the top ten, Lin Yuan's chances of winning were not very high.

Many people speculated that Lin Yuan might be the weakest among the top ten.

But at least, there was still basic care.

No matter what, Lin Yuan had secured a ticket to the top ten, and was the pride of Dongning City for thousands of years.

"Mr. Lin Yuan, these are the battle videos of those few Evolvers in the top ten that I collected. They also include analyses from higher-level Evolvers. I believe you will have a better understanding after watching them…"

President Liao immediately opened a video and started playing it.

Battle videos were not rare, but the main thing was the accompanying analyses from other Evolvers.

One must know that for the exact same battle, when watched by Evolvers of different levels, the things they saw were often different.

High-level Evolvers could see the weaknesses and shortcomings of both sides of the battle at a single glance.

If Lin Yuan could absorb the judgments in the analyses, he might gain a certain advantage in the upcoming battle for the top ten.

He didn't dare to think about the top five or top three, but getting seventh or eighth place was still very hopeful.

After all, being able to reach the global top ten meant that their strengths were not far apart. Perhaps just a bit more understanding could play a crucial role.

"Please take a look, Mr. Lin."

President Liao played the video.

"So strong…"

President Liao watched along with Lin Yuan.

Even after watching it many times, President Liao was still shocked in his heart.

However,

Lin Yuan, who sat beside him and watched the video with President Liao,

did not care much.

Before the shuttle, those who made Lin Yuan feel pressure,

those Evolvers standing in the global top ten,

were now too weak for Lin Yuan.

Fourth update.

Setting the update schedule.

From now on, the daily update time will be around 6:00 PM.

Thank you all for your support.

Thank you, thank you, thank you.

By the way, asking for a wave of monthly tickets~~~
