“Why do I have this feeling of facing other Ultimates?”

Supreme Being Xia Qin was startled; this was a perception belonging to a Supreme Powerhouse, which would only emerge when facing existences of the same level.

When Supreme Being Xia Qin spent time with the other eight Supreme Powerhouses, this perception would emerge.

When negotiating with other alien Ultimates, this kind of perception would also emerge.

But now?

Lin Yuan?

A ridiculously young little fellow who had just entered Tier 10?

Actually gave Supreme Being Xia Qin a similar feeling?

If Supreme Being Xia Qin weren't experiencing this firsthand, he wouldn't believe it at all.

It was too absurd.

"What is the reason?"

"mental will? The mental will of the Galaxy Star Master has exceeded the threshold of 18 million mental will points… No, it's not just simply exceeding it; it exceeds it by a huge margin."

How fast was the operating speed of Supreme Being Xia Qin's thoughts? He immediately deduced the most likely reason.

First of all, this place was the Virtual World, regardless of whether it was Lin Yuan or Supreme Being Xia Qin.

Both were condensed from a trace of mental will.

Secondly, this was the personal world of Supreme Being Xia Qin; without permission, even other Supreme Powerhouses could not use any power here.

In other words, the feeling Lin Yuan gave Supreme Being Xia Qin came entirely from his mental will strength.

Only when one's mental will stepped into the Supreme Powerhouse level could it give Supreme Being Xia Qin such a feeling.

But Lin Yuan?

Supreme Powerhouse-level mental will strength?

Supreme Being Xia Qin suddenly didn't know how to describe it.

A Tier 10 life? Possessing the mental will strength of a Supreme Powerhouse?

Can this still be called a Tier 10 life?

Supreme Being Xia Qin fell silent.

"Supreme Powerhouse?" Lin Yuan also noticed Supreme Being Xia Qin's repeated gazes and scrutinies.

Under normal circumstances, when he came to visit Supreme Being Xia Qin, the latter would have already started asking what the matter was.

"It seems he has sensed the strength of my mental will," Lin Yuan thought to himself.

This was also an unavoidable matter; although Lin Yuan's mental will had reached the Twelfth Order, his Realm was still at Tier 10 after all, making it impossible to perfectly hide it in front of a Supreme Powerhouse.

Even if he didn't come to visit Supreme Being Xia Qin, when the time came before breaking through to Eleven-Tier, the Supreme Powerhouse Incarnation would descend and still discover it.

"Your mental will has exceeded twenty million points?"

Supreme Being Xia Qin was silent for a moment and directly began to ask.

Once the mental will index exceeded ten million points, it became very difficult to quantify it specifically.

Supreme Being Xia Qin only felt that Lin Yuan's mental will index had definitely reached the Twelfth Order level, and it wasn't as simple as just stepping into it.

"Almost."

Lin Yuan nodded.

In reality, his mental will index had reached 33.34 million points, which also fell under the category of exceeding twenty million points.

"You—"

Getting confirmation from Lin Yuan, Supreme Being Xia Qin didn't know how to express it.

A Prodigy.

Too much of a Prodigy.

Merely at Tier 10, he stepped into the Twelfth Order Domain in terms of mental will; is this really something a Human Evolver can achieve?

Compared to other Aptitudes, mental will was the one least capable of being bypassed through tricks; those unique special life forms within the Universe possessed incomparably noble Bloodlines, but what about their mental will?

They still needed to start from scratch; the mental will nurtured by a powerful Physical Body and Soul was naturally somewhat stronger, but it definitely did not have the overwhelming advantage seen in the Physical Body and Soul aspects.

"Not long ago, I went into seclusion for a period of time and had an Epiphany regarding my mental will."

Lin Yuan spoke out the reason he had prepared long ago.

Apart from slowly increasing through the passage of long years, mental will could also be enhanced in a short period of time through an 'Epiphany'.

The 'Epiphany' here—

was an 'Epiphany' regarding the operation of the Universe and all things in heaven and earth.

However, such a thing could only be encountered by chance and not sought; since the creation of the Universe, it hadn't happened many times, and even when it did, it mostly occurred among low-tier lives.

For instance, a Tier 4 or Tier 5 life occasionally had an Epiphany, causing their mental will index to directly skyrocket from a few hundred to several thousand?

Or some indigenous lives on barren planets, without having experienced any evolution or Cultivate, had a mental will index close to ten thousand?

But like Lin Yuan, after experiencing an 'Epiphany', his mental will index directly exceeded twenty million points, which had probably never happened before.

"An Epiphany."

Supreme Being Xia Qin fell into silence once more; he vaguely guessed that such a massive enhancement in Lin Yuan's mental will probably wasn't as simple as just an Epiphany.

Because the magnitude of the improvement was simply too great.

However, this was Lin Yuan's own secret, and Supreme Being Xia Qin would not interfere.

Ever since Lin Yuan stepped into Tier 10, triggering the infusion of the Chaotic Void Origin and subsequently tearing apart a cosmic crack measured in light-years—

Supreme Being Xia Qin had known that Lin Yuan possessed his own fortuitous Opportunity.

Regarding these matters, Supreme Being Xia Qin wouldn't even ask.

"mental will. Naturally, the stronger, the better."

Supreme Being Xia Qin pondered for a long time before speaking slowly.

The higher the tier of an Evolver, the more they could feel the importance of mental will.

Tier 1 to Tier 5 or Tier 6 Evolvers probably didn't even know what mental will was about.

But upon reaching Tier 7, especially breaking through from Tier 7 to Tier 8—

one of the prerequisites was that the mental will index reached ten thousand points.

Only then would there be assurance to pass the Heart Demon Tribulation.

Starting from Tier 8, the influence of mental will became greater and greater; by the time of Eleven-Tier, when impacting the Ultimate, it required even tens of millions of mental will index points.

In fact, the importance of mental will went far beyond this.

Whether it was the Eleven-Tier Evolvers of Human Civilization or the Eleven-Tier Experts of other alien races, their Physical Body and Soul would no longer decay.

But why did they still need to extend their own Lifespan by delaying the flow of time?

Theoretically speaking, the Physical Body and Soul of a Tier 11 life should not have Lifespan limitations.

Yet in reality, the longer they lived, even if there were no problems with their Physical Body and Soul, their own mental will would still become distorted.

Once the mental will became distorted and mad, true death was not far away.

At this time, the importance of having a powerful mental will manifested itself.

The stronger the mental will, the more it could offset this distortion and madness.

With Lin Yuan's current mental will strength, he could completely and easily live through a cosmic era.

Even if it weren't for the destruction of the Universe and the drying up and collapse of the River of Time—

which guaranteed that all lives within the river would surely die, Lin Yuan could still live through cosmic era after cosmic era.

Furthermore, a powerful mental will had far-reaching effects in all aspects.

Especially in Soul defense, having a powerful mental will garrisoning it was even more helpful than a Soul defense divine treasure.

"Supreme Powerhouse, this time I came here because I am ready to Breakthrough to Eleven-Tier."

Lin Yuan brought up the main business; this was also one of the purposes of his visit to see Supreme Being Xia Qin.

"Breakthrough to Eleven-Tier?"

Supreme Being Xia Qin reacted immediately.

He had long guessed that Lin Yuan was seeing him for this matter.

But just upon meeting earlier, he had been shocked by Lin Yuan's terrifying mental will, causing him not to have recovered his senses until now.

"When do you plan to Breakthrough?"

Supreme Being Xia Qin asked with a solemn expression.

"Within these few months," Lin Yuan replied.

For a Breakthrough matter, one must certainly choose the time when they were in the best state.

With Lin Yuan's current adjustment speed, a few months would be just about enough.

"No problem."

Supreme Being Xia Qin nodded.

"At that time, I will call upon them to act as your Protectors together."

Supreme Being Xia Qin's expression was slightly solemn.

The 'them' in his mouth naturally referred to the other Nine Supreme Experts of Human Civilization.

Two to three hundred years ago, when Lin Yuan Breakthrough to Tier 10, the commotion was so great that Supreme Being Xia Qin had not expected it at all.

If it weren't for forcibly borrowing the strength of a Supreme Powerhouse, assisted by Supreme Being Yu Die nearby, with the power of Supreme Being Xia Qin's single Incarnation at that time, it might have allowed other alien Supreme Powerhouses to detect abnormalities.

This time, Supreme Being Xia Qin had learned to be smart and directly called upon the other eight Supreme Powerhouses of Human Civilization.

With the power of nine Supreme Powerhouses, it was more than enough even to act as Protectors for an Eleven-Tier impact on the Ultimate.

Therefore, Supreme Being Xia Qin considered himself well-prepared this time.

"Rest assured, my true body will constantly watch over the Galaxy Main Star. You can just do your Breakthrough with peace of mind."

The true bodies of the Nine Supreme Experts of Human Civilization were all garrisoning the key nodes of the territory, deterring other alien Supreme Powerhouses.

After all, the true body of a Supreme Powerhouse was the embodiment of the highest combat power within the Universe.

But for Lin Yuan's Breakthrough this time, Supreme Being Xia Qin had already made preparations to dispatch his true body at any time.

Ensuring Lin Yuan smoothly stepped into Eleven-Tier was the most important matter for Human Civilization currently; paying some price for this was completely acceptable.

Besides, even if Supreme Being Xia Qin dispatched his true body, the alien side would most likely not make any excessive moves. Unless they wanted to start a full-scale war, they would basically maintain a certain balance.

"Thank you, Supreme Powerhouse."

Lin Yuan said.

This is the advantage of having the backing of a powerful faction. Before completely growing up, unless one intentionally seeks to temper oneself,

otherwise, everything goes smoothly. With Lin Yuan's Aptitude, he won't waste any mental energy on things outside of a Breakthrough.

"You're welcome."

Supreme Being Xia Qin slightly shook his head.

If other Peak Groups in the Universe knew that Human Civilization had given birth to such a Prodigy like Lin Yuan, they would probably turn green with envy.

"With your current strength, you should consider making a dash for the Ultimate."

"For a Tier 11 life making the Ultimate leap, even if external forces help, they can never take the dominant role."

Supreme Being Xia Qin gave a rare reminder.

Human Civilization indeed has treasured methods to assist in the Ultimate, such as that 'cosmic origin'.

But wanting to step into the Twelfth Order and become a Supreme Powerhouse still mainly relies on oneself.

Lin Yuan nodded, "Understood."

So far, the most crucial treasure Lin Yuan grasped for assaulting the Ultimate was that 'Heart of Time and Space'.

This was prepared by the Moyu Tower Master for his Personal Disciple, which could prolong the time to break free from the shackles of the River of Time during the Ultimate leap.

Compared to the 'cosmic origin', the effect of the 'Heart of Time and Space' was much greater.

"It's good that you understand."

Supreme Being Xia Qin nodded.

Actually, these words were usually spoken to Eleven-Tier Perfection Evolvers of Human Civilization.

Eleven-Tier Perfection Evolvers were only a step away from assaulting the Ultimate, so receiving these reminders was completely normal.

As for a Tier 10 like Lin Yuan?

He was completely a special exception.

"Supreme Powerhouse, there is one more matter—"

Lin Yuan chatted a few more words with Supreme Being Xia Qin and said in a low voice.

"Speak."

Supreme Being Xia Qin looked at Lin Yuan with a smiling expression.

"I want to comprehend that Twelfth Order Physical Body itself."

Within the Virtual World, that Physical Body was ultimately just a projection.

To thoroughly comprehend all Demon evolution pathways, one still had to directly face and comprehend the Physical Body itself.

If it were before the tenth shuttle, Lin Yuan definitely wouldn't have done this easily. Directly facing the remains of a Twelve-Order Life required bearing immense risks for any life form below the Twelfth Order.

"That Physical Body…"

"You… you should have no problem."

Supreme Being Xia Qin was just about to say whether he could resist the mental will coercion originating from the Physical Body itself.

Then he thought of Lin Yuan's mental will at the Supreme Powerhouse level. The mental will coercion from that remnant body itself posed no threat to a Supreme Powerhouse of the same level.

This was also repeatedly confirmed by the Nine Supreme Experts of Human Civilization.

Even Supreme Being Xia Qin had comprehended that remnant body for a period of time, thoroughly grasping most of the Demon evolution pathways.

It was just a pity that the conditions for a Supreme Powerhouse to join the Demon Jade Tower were completely different from the conditions for Tier 7 or Tier 8 beings to join.

Even if a Supreme Powerhouse thoroughly comprehended all Demon evolution pathways within the remnant body, they could not become an ordinary member or Disciple of the Demon Jade Tower.

Compared to Tier 7 and Tier 8 life forms thoroughly comprehending the Demon evolution pathways, it was simply too easy for a Supreme Powerhouse to do so.

Furthermore, when recruiting life forms at the Supreme Powerhouse level, the Demon Jade Tower had a different set of standard assessments, personally hosted by the Moyu Tower Master.

And the Moyu Tower Master had disappeared for cosmic eras; it was basically impossible for a Supreme Powerhouse to join the Demon Jade Tower now.

"However, you still must be careful."

"Once you perceive any abnormality, withdraw immediately."

Supreme Being Xia Qin pondered repeatedly, and confirming that Lin Yuan faced no risks, he nodded and said.

"Alright."

Lin Yuan replied.

"I have already opened the permissions for you. You only need to head to the Thirteen Main Strongholds, and someone will lead you there at that time."

Supreme Being Xia Qin closed his eyes, opened them a moment later, and looked at Lin Yuan as he spoke.

Human Civilization had a total of twenty-two main strongholds. That Physical Body came from the Chaos Void faction Demon Jade Tower, and was highly valued by the Nine Supreme Experts of Human Civilization, who specifically placed it inside the Thirteen Main Strongholds.

"Thirteen Main Strongholds…"

Lin Yuan nodded. Previously, under the lead of Supreme Being Yu Die, he went to a towering palace and faced several Supreme Powerhouses. That place was the Three Main Strongholds of Human Civilization.

"How many Merit Points do I need to pay?"

Comprehending such twelve-star level treasures all required paying Merit Points.

For Lin Yuan's Black Planet guidance space, entering it once required one hundred million Merit Points.

Twelve guidance spaces, coming around for one round cost 1.2 billion Merit Points.

The upper limit of the guidance space was the fourth Realm of rule Fusion, belonging to the Eleven-Tier level.

"Anyway, that Physical Body is placed there, and no one is comprehending it. Your going over to comprehend it won't affect anything, so no Merit Points are needed." Supreme Being Xia Qin waved his hand and said.

In fact, Merit Points could be charged, but on such trivial matters, with Supreme Being Xia Qin's authority, he could choose to charge or choose not to charge.

Supreme Being Xia Qin didn't even look at those few Merit Points.

Therefore, he simply couldn't be bothered to collect them.

"Thank you, Supreme Powerhouse."

Lin Yuan thanked him once again, understanding that this was Supreme Being Xia Qin taking care of him.

After continuing to chat with Supreme Being Xia Qin for a few words, Lin Yuan bid farewell.

Watching Lin Yuan disappear into his personal world, Supreme Being Xia Qin fell into thought.

Not long after,

A figure condensed out of thin air.

It was precisely Supreme Being Yu Die.

"Xia Qin, are you crazy? You actually allowed the Galaxy Star Master to comprehend that Physical Body?"

Supreme Being Yu Die frowned.

Supreme Being Xia Qin granting Lin Yuan permission to go to the Thirteen Main Strongholds to comprehend the Physical Body was transmitted through the Virtual World.

As the creator of the Virtual World, Supreme Being Yu Die naturally knew at the very first moment, which was why she appeared immediately.

As a Supreme Powerhouse, Supreme Being Yu Die was very clear about the impact of that remnant body on lives below the Twelfth Order.

This could be seen from the fact that until now, no Eleven-Tier Evolver had dared to comprehend that Physical Body.

Those little fellows at Tier 7 and Tier 8 only comprehended a projection of the true Physical Body, and the mental will coercion they endured was far inferior to the despair of directly facing the Physical Body itself.

Supreme Being Yu Die never expected that Supreme Being Xia Qin would make such a decision!

The Galaxy Star Master was the strongest Genius in the history of Human Civilization, with hopes of becoming the tenth Supreme Powerhouse. To let such a peerless Genius with infinite potential comprehend that Physical Body?

Supreme Being Yu Die could not understand.

"Feather Butterfly, you don't need to worry."

Supreme Being Xia Qin looked at Supreme Being Yu Die and explained, "The Galaxy Star Master's talent is even beyond our expectations."

"Talent is talent. The Galaxy Star Master is only at Tier 10 right now. Even if he is expected to resist the source mental will coercion of that Physical Body, it would be after stepping into the Twelfth Order. Now that you are letting him comprehend it, have you thought through the consequences?"

Supreme Being Yu Die said.

The Galaxy Star Master was an Evolver of the Xia You Evolution Tower. Logically speaking, Supreme Being Xia Qin had the right to guide him however he saw fit.

But the Galaxy Star Master's talent was too terrifying, and he was also an Evolver of Human Civilization. Supreme Being Yu Die would not allow Supreme Being Xia Qin to ruin such a peerless human Genius.

"After the Twelfth Order…"

Supreme Being Xia Qin's expression revealed a trace of strangeness, and finally shook his head, saying, "It doesn't need that long; he can already resist it now."

"What do you mean?" Supreme Being Yu Die was slightly stunned.

"The Galaxy Star Master's mental will has already reached the Twelfth Order level."

Supreme Being Xia Qin did not beat around the bush and said directly.

"mental will reached the Twelfth Order level…"

Supreme Being Yu Die fell silent as well. She split off a trace of mental will and, through the Virtual World permissions, began to lock onto the mental will Incarnation that Lin Yuan had just condensed.

"It indeed exceeds 18 million points of mental will index. To be precise, it exceeds at least 20 million points of mental will index."

Supreme Being Yu Die's pupils shrank abruptly, somewhat in disbelief.

"Indeed."

Supreme Being Xia Qin looked at Supreme Being Yu Die with a rather delighted mind, as if he were seeing his own reaction from earlier.

"A Tier 10 life, how can they have such a strong mental will?"

Supreme Being Yu Die muttered to herself. If Lin Yuan's mental will was this powerful, then comprehending that Physical Body would not pose any problem.

After all, it was just a Physical Body that had fallen for an unknown length of years. Being able to leave behind some mental will coercion was already remarkable, coupled with the suppression by the Nine Supreme Experts of Human Civilization.

Lin Yuan only needed to block the mental will coercion, and there would be no hidden dangers whatsoever.

"Who knows."

Supreme Being Xia Qin shook his head, a look of anticipation appearing on his face, "However, I am even more curious now as to what height this little fellow will be able to reach in the future."
