"Several days ago, I luckily stepped into the fifth rank," Lin Yuan admitted, acknowledging the vastness and diversity of human civilization, where countless geniuses abound.

Crossing a major realm in just one or two years might be considered rare for a particular star domain or a few star domains.

However, in the grand scope of human civilization as a whole, it might not be as remarkable.

Not to mention, when the Red Kun Star Lord seized control of the Star-Sea Kun in the Star Sea many years ago, his meteoric rise to power became legendary across most of human civilization's territory.

Therefore, as long as Lin Yuan remained a member of the human race and did not reveal the 'Gate to the Myriad Realms' hidden deep in his mind, any outstanding talent he displayed would only be cherished and protected even more by the Red Kun Star Lord and the Goddess of Wisdom.

Over the course of two million years in the Star Sea, the Human Civilization Alliance has swept across the universe, pushing back various alien races.

Apart from a few top-tier powerhouses, what's more important is the protection mechanism for talents.

Without this mechanism continuously providing fresh blood, it would be impossible for human civilization to exert its current dominance over numerous alien races.

"Is it really the fifth rank?" The Red Kun Star Lord fell silent, momentarily thinking he might have been mistaken. However, upon hearing Lin Yuan's admission, he immediately realized that his new disciple's talent surpassed his expectations.

While comprehending the Yellow Evolution Path might simply indicate suitability for practicing that particular path, the potential heights that Lin Yuan could reach in the future remained unknown.

Nonetheless, judging from Lin Yuan's current performance, his future potential was unquestionable.

"Let me think about it," the Red Kun Star Lord said cautiously. He was well aware that the more of a genius someone was, the less interference and guidance they required.

Given his stature, if it were an ordinary evolver, he could directly provide guidance and even personally plan their future path. However, with a top-tier genius evolver like Lin Yuan, the Red Kun Star Lord had to tread carefully.

After all, he couldn't be sure if the path he had planned for this top-tier genius evolver was truly suitable. Geniuses often forge their own paths, and any attempt to forcefully intervene would only suppress their potential.

"I never expected that I, Red Kun, would one day be troubled by such matters," the Red Kun Star Lord sighed inwardly. His twelve previous disciples had not displayed talents as exceptional as Lin Yuan's, so he had instructed them with relative ease.

"You can go back for now. I'll think it over," the Red Kun Star Lord instructed after observing Lin Yuan for a while and exchanging a few words with him. Once Lin Yuan left, the vast crimson palace was once again empty, with only the Red Kun Star Lord remaining.

"How should I nurture him?" the Red Kun Star Lord furrowed his brow in deep thought.

"Xiao Hong," the Red Kun Star Lord suddenly spoke.

"Master, Xiao Hong is here," a mechanical voice sounded, indicating the presence of the Red Kun Star Lord's intelligent assistant, Xiao Hong.

"Eighty thousand years ago, the crystallization of rules I collected should still be around, right?" the Red Kun Star Lord inquired.

"It's here, Master," Xiao Hong promptly responded.

"Deliver that rule crystal to my disciple," the Red Kun Star Lord instructed after a moment of contemplation.

"But, Master, that's a rule crystal," Xiao Hong hesitated slightly. Having accompanied the Red Kun Star Lord for countless years and evolved into an intelligent being, it possessed its own thoughts and emotions.

"Understood," seeing the Red Kun Star Lord remain silent, Xiao Hong could only comply.

On the Canglan Star, at the Central Mainland Manor, Lin Yuan severed his connection to the virtual world.

"I wonder what the teacher wants from me"

Lin Yuan wondered, speculating that his advancement to the fifth rank might have disrupted some of the Red Kun Star Lord's plans. However, Lin Yuan had no choice. In the presence of powerhouses like the Red Kun Star Lord, he couldn't hide his true strength.

Even though Lin Yuan hadn't synchronized his true strength in the virtual world this time, the Red Kun Star Lord still managed to discern his real power.

"Mental power," Lin Yuan thought inwardly. Mental power was the most fundamental power of an evolver, and it was precisely the surpassing of the fourth rank in mental power that led the Red Kun Star Lord to conclude that Lin Yuan had entered the fifth rank.

As Lin Yuan pondered, the solemn and cool voice of the Goddess of Wisdom resounded.

"Respected fifth-level citizen Lin Yuan, after final assessment, the value of the fifth-tier manuscript you uploaded is two hundred thousand merit points."

"Two hundred thousand merit points," a smile appeared on Lin Yuan's face. It's worth noting that this was not the value of the martial path evolution but solely the value of the fifth-tier manuscript.

"The likelihood of the martial path evolution advancing to the sixth rank is ninety-five percent," Lin Yuan immediately glanced at the updated information on the martial path evolution.

With the upload of the fifth-tier manuscript, the Goddess of Wisdom would certainly reassess various aspects of the martial path evolution and arrive at updated conclusions.

"Hmm, the likelihood of advancing to the sixth rank isn't a hundred percent?" Lin Yuan felt a bit regretful.

Little did he know that among the countless evolution paths recorded by the Human Civilization Alliance, there was hardly any path below the sixth rank that could guarantee advancement to the sixth rank.

Most fifth-tier evolution paths only had a thirty to forty percent chance of advancing to the sixth rank, making anything over fifty percent quite rare.

Now, with the likelihood of advancing to the sixth rank reaching ninety-five percent, it was undoubtedly one of the top-tier paths among the many fifth-tier evolution paths.

"The likelihood of advancing to the seventh rank has increased by ten percent, with an additional chance of advancing to the eighth rank," Lin Yuan nodded slightly.

It could be seen that Lin Yuan's upload of the fifth-tier manuscript had brought about a qualitative change to the martial path evolution.

In fact, this could have been foreseen, considering that the condensation of the soul in the fifth-tier manuscript was an extremely rare technique.

Although Lin Yuan estimated that most future evolvers would only be able to condense one soul, this was analogous to the talent of "splitting."

"Continuously improving its ranking? That's probably not achievable in the short term," a third-level citizen couldn't help but remark.

Even if it's an Evolver University researcher, it's not possible to casually create a pathway with potential reaching the seventh or eighth rank. The establishment of a pathway requires careful consideration, and ultimately, it must receive confirmation and recognition from the three goddesses.

"I agree."

"The creator of the martial path evolution pathway, 'Yuan,' is undoubtedly knowledgeable, but the evolution list of the Red Kun Star Domain isn't something anyone can make it onto. Hasn't that pathway been tested over time?"

Another evolver spoke up, pointing to the towering Red Kun Evolution List, finally stopping at the martial path evolution pathway at the very end.

"I bet it won't change its ranking for at least three years."

Before this evolver could finish speaking, it was time for the daily update of the Red Kun Evolution List.

After a few breaths, the names of all the pathways on the list began to blur.

Several moments later, all the pathway names became clear again.

"Huh?"

The evolver who had stood up suddenly noticed that the pathway he had pointed to was no longer the martial path evolution pathway.

"Oh my."

This evolver immediately sensed that something was wrong and looked up.

Finally, at the fifty-third position, he found the martial path evolution pathway.

Meanwhile, in the central plaza area, many evolvers and higher-level citizens were once again stirred into a commotion.

The martial path evolution pathway had jumped dozens of places, soaring from the top one hundred to the fifty-third position, completely shattering their expectations.

This wasn't like the evolution lists of other planets; this was the Red Kun Star Domain's evolution list, which included all the evolution pathways of over a million life-bearing planets in the entire star domain.

The pathways that made it onto the Red Kun Evolution List had all endured numerous tests. Even moving up by one or two places was extremely difficult and required a significant breakthrough somewhere.

"The fifth-tier manuscript?"

"The martial path evolution pathway has updated its fifth-tier manuscript."

"This must be the one that caused the sudden rise in the ranking of the martial path evolution pathway."

"Quick, buy it for research."

"I want to see what exactly it is that allowed the martial path to surpass dozens of sixth-tier evolution pathways."

In the central plaza area, many evolvers immediately began purchasing the fifth-tier manuscript of the martial path evolution pathway.

In a vast star domain near the eastern edge of the cosmic human territory, there was a colossal planet.

This planet was incredibly massive, surpassing even higher-level life-bearing planets, and was home to numerous research institutes.

At the highest point of one of these institutes, an old man dressed in a white research gown was gazing at a holoscreen in front of him.

Endless data floated on the holoscreen, with various formulas and conclusions flashing by.

"Almost done."

The old man closed his eyes, intending to take a break.

He connected his consciousness to the virtual world and entered the "forum" of the Founders' World.

"My post from back then has received a reply?" The old man looked somewhat surprised. Twenty-three thousand years ago, he had left a question on the Founder's Forum.

Is it better to comprehend one rule deeply or to comprehend multiple rules?

Over the years, many people had given their opinions on this question under his post.

But none of those replies had satisfied the old man.

"Let's see."

The old man immediately began to delve into the replies under his post.

Since he had some free time, he thought it wouldn't hurt to review the problem he had faced in the past; it might even be enlightening.

"Of course, it's better to comprehend one rule deeply. There are so many rules in the world; even those who sit atop the Evolution Tower can't comprehend them all, can they?"

"Comprehending only one rule will inevitably have limitations. If possible, it's natural to comprehend multiple rules."

The old man shook his head repeatedly as he perused the replies from recent years, clearly dissatisfied with all the responses.

Until he came across the last reply.

This reply was the most recent, just over a month ago.

"Comprehend a certain rule, then use this path to control all paths."

The old man was slightly stunned, his face showing a look of astonishment.
