Outside the peripheral area of the Gate of the Myriad Realms, the moment it lit up—
Lin Yuan understood.
"Can I transmigrate now?"
Lin Yuan's mind reached deep into his thoughts, gazing at the majestic and magnificent Gate of the Myriad Realms.
"Just for now."
Lin Yuan's brow furrowed slightly.
At this moment, he was at a critical juncture between the fifth and sixth ranks.
The fusion of his soul had already reached eighty-five percent, approaching completion.
The improvement in soul fusion required Lin Yuan to invest all his energy, comprehend the Dao, and perfect his path of martial evolution.
If he were to transmigrate now and his consciousness descended into another world, it would be equivalent to interrupting the process of his soul's transformation.After the transmigration ended, when Lin Yuan crossed into the sixth rank in the other world and returned to the main world, he would still need to spend time and effort to complete the final stage of soul fusion.
What Lin Yuan truly worried about was not the above.
Rather, it was the potential adverse outcomes of abruptly halting the transformation of his soul.
For example, what if his soul fusion regressed instead of progressing? Or if the fusion speed suddenly slowed down, and so on.
Throughout the long history of human civilization in the universe, there were some fifth-rank evolvers who, during the fusion of their souls with their evolutionary paths, were interrupted due to various accidents.
When they finally resumed the transformation and fusion process, they found that the efficiency of their soul fusion speed had been affected to some extent.
"Never mind."
"Let's wait until the completion of the soul fusion transformation and stepping into the sixth rank before transmigrating."
Lin Yuan's face showed a brief moment of contemplation, and finally, he made a decision.
Delaying the transmigration would not cause any loss to Lin Yuan; the Gate of the Myriad Realms would continue to accumulate energy.
It's like a ten-liter water glass, with water dripping into it at all times. When the water in the glass reaches one liter, Lin Yuan can transmigrate.
At the moment of the transmigration, it would consume that liter of water.
But if he chose not to transmigrate, that liter of water wouldn't disappear; it would still be in the glass, not affecting the subsequent increase in water in the glass.
In theory, Lin Yuan could wait for several years and transmigrate continuously.
Or try other functions of the Gate of the Myriad Realms, such as what would happen after lighting up the core area?
Beyond the Canglan Star.
A spaceship slowly came to a stop, undergoing inspection at the star platform.
"Boss, we've arrived at the Canglan Star, we've reached our destination."
Inside the spaceship, a green-haired youth exclaimed, "This is my first time leaving my home planet. The Canglan Star should have many fun places, right?"
"Fun?"
A middle-aged man with green hair opened his eyes and sighed.
"You'll see soon enough. It's quite painful to stay on a mediocre life planet like this for a long time."
The middle-aged man glanced at the green-haired youth.
"Huh? Painful?"
The green-haired youth was slightly stunned.
"Isn't it a good thing?"
The middle-aged man chuckled, "Can the entertainment activities, welfare benefits, and the supply of cosmic energy on a mediocre life planet compare to those on a higher life planet?"
"This time, if it weren't for the young lady's orders to establish a trade outpost on the Canglan Star, I wouldn't have come."
The middle-aged man sighed again.
"Yes, it is said that a genius evolver named Lin Yuan on the Canglan Star rejected the recruitment of Black Prison Ao, leading to the entire Canglan Star being targeted and suppressed."
"Fortunately, another genius evolver on the Canglan Star, Fang Qing, joined the Red Kun Lineage. Fang Qing has a close relationship with Lin Yuan, so for Lin Yuan's sake, Fang Qing pleaded to the young lady and other members of the Red Kun Lineage to try to rebuild the trade channels."
The green-haired youth had obviously inquired about many things before coming.
It's natural to be a bit more prepared for your first time leaving your home planet.
"Lord Fang Qing is indeed very considerate."
The green-haired youth said with some envy.
Who wouldn't want to have such a friend? One who stands up for you when you're being oppressed and bullied.
"Indeed."
"Lord Fang Qing is very loyal, but that Lin Yuan seems ungrateful."
The middle-aged man shook his head and said, "With the status of Young Master Black Prison Ao, personally recruiting him and showing respect, but Lin Yuan dared to refuse, even at the risk of implicating the entire Canglan Star."
"This kind of personality is extremely selfish. Without Lord Fang Qing looking out for him, his future will definitely be miserable."
The middle-aged man said slowly.
This view of his was also the view of most people, especially those who were transferred to establish trade outposts. They all had some grievances against Lin Yuan.
"That's true." The green-haired youth nodded slightly.
He had been educated by his family since childhood that, when necessary, he must give everything for the family. If he were in Lin Yuan's position, he would definitely not make such a selfish move.
"But it won't be necessary in the future."
"Lord Fang Qing has just joined the Red Kun Lineage, thinking about his friendship with Lin Yuan. But as time goes by, with Lord Fang Qing's rise in the Red Kun Lineage and reaching the fifth rank, reaching the sixth rank."
"But Lin Yuan, even though he is a rare genius evolver on the Canglan Star, he will probably only reach the fifth rank."
"In the future, the gap between the two will only grow larger. Can such a relationship be maintained? How could a dragon possibly be friends with an ant?"
The middle-aged man expressed his opinion.
"After hundreds or thousands of years, Lord Fang Qing's friendship with Lin Yuan will naturally fade."
The middle-aged man said calmly.
"Indeed."
"People of different levels of strength cannot become friends." The green-haired youth nodded in agreement.
In the Central Continent Manor, main building.
"It's better to complete the soul fusion transformation as soon as possible."
Since he could shuttle through the Gate of the Myriad Realms at any time, Lin Yuan thought about increasing the speed of soul fusion.
"Perhaps I can spar with other powerful evolvers?"
Lin Yuan pondered.
Sparring with evolvers of different evolutionary paths would greatly increase Lin Yuan's comprehension efficiency.
Especially in perfecting martial arts. Since Lin Yuan intended to expand martial arts beyond Yin and Yang and encompass all the myriad paths in the world.
Engaging in combat with numerous evolvers, comprehending their paths and philosophies, would undoubtedly have a significant pushing effect.
"After all, idleness is just idleness."
Lin Yuan connected his consciousness to the virtual world and entered the arena area.
The virtual world had many areas, such as living areas, trading areas, central square areas, and arena areas.
The arena area is specifically designated for evolvers to spar and exchange techniques.
The Cosmic Human Alliance's arena matches are held in the arena area every year.
Of course, only evolvers under a hundred years old can participate in these matches.
As for those over a hundred years old, the truly powerful evolvers, fifth-rank, sixth-rank? If they have the thought of sparring, they will all choose the arena area.
"Registration."
"Strength: Fifth Rank, Twelfth Stage. Commencing soul fusion transformation."
"Identity: Concealed."
Lin Yuan entered the arena area, disguised as a wandering evolver traveling through the universe, and began selecting opponents.
"Hmm, this person has been undergoing soul fusion transformation for over two hundred years, almost completing ninety percent of the fusion. Request a challenge."
"And this person, from the Wan Yang lineage, a core prince, not inferior to the peak master of the Red Kun lineage. Request a challenge."
"Special physique, noble bloodline. About to step into the sixth rank? Hurry and request a challenge, or else I won't be able to once you reach the sixth rank."
Lin Yuan spent half a day selecting over a hundred opponents.
These over a hundred opponents were meticulously chosen by Lin Yuan; even if their strength wasn't on par with his, it wasn't too far off.
They were fully capable of putting pressure on Lin Yuan.
Moreover, the evolutionary paths of these individuals were extremely rare and unique, providing good stimulation for Lin Yuan.
After applying for challenges one by one, Lin Yuan began to wait.
At that moment, the voice of the intelligent assistant sounded, "Master, Governor Song Wuyang wants to see you."
In the virtual world, personal space.
Lin Yuan's figure appeared.
Shortly after, Song Wuyang also appeared in front of him.
"This crisis has finally been safely navigated."
A hint of relief appeared on Song Wuyang's face.
As the planetary governor, if the Canglan Star experienced negative effects like economic decline during his tenure, it would be a disastrous blow to his political achievements.
Fortunately, everything was over now.
Under Fang Qing's leadership, many forces had begun to re-engage in trade with the Canglan Star. Unexpectedly, the Canglan Star could capitalize on this opportunity to undergo an unexpected major development.
It could be said to have turned misfortune into fortune.
"If it weren't for Lord Fang Qing this time, it would have been really troublesome."
Governor Song Wuyang said.
"Yes."
Lin Yuan nodded.
Actually, Lin Yuan didn't feel much about it. Even if the criticism outside was loud, he could simply ignore it.
But his parents and sister would have to endure some "cyberbullying," so Fang Qing standing up for him, even if it didn't bring substantial help, at least alleviated the psychological pressure on his family.
For this, Lin Yuan was quite grateful.
"Lord Fang Qing stepped forward entirely because of the friendship between you and Mr. Lin. I hope you two will continue to communicate more in the future."
Governor Song Wuyang hinted.
Implicitly, he hoped Lin Yuan would get closer to Fang Qing. Otherwise, if Fang Qing was willing to intervene this time, there was no guarantee he would do so next time.
Lin Yuan remained calm.
He knew that Song Wuyang's words were not malicious; they were purely from his perspective.
Having finally grabbed hold of such a big thigh, he naturally had to hold on tightly. Especially someone like Fang Qing, a member of the Red Kun lineage, who might become a big shot in the entire star domain in the future.
After chatting with Lin Yuan for a few words, Song Wuyang took his leave.
With the newly rebuilt trade channels on the Canglan Star, there were too many things that needed the intervention of this planetary governor.
The connection between consciousness and the virtual world was severed.
Lin Yuan walked out of the main building and onto the grass field outside.
"Big brother."
Lin Yi flew over, controlling a shield-shaped weapon with her telekinesis.
"That Black Prison Ao is truly despicable. Brother, you refused to be recruited, so he intentionally suppressed the Canglan Star. Now look, he's lost face?"
Lin Yi couldn't help but comment.
"But fortunately, Brother, your friend is awesome. Many of my friends envy you for having such a good friend."
Lin Yi continued.
"Is that so?" Lin Yuan remained calm.
During this period, with the subsiding of public opinion, Lin Yi had also let off some steam.
In the virtual world.
Fang Qing and Lin Yuan sat facing each other.
"Things have calmed down now."
"Black Prison Ao currently seems quiet. He probably doesn't dare to have any ideas."
At this point, Fang Qing stared at Lin Yuan and continued, "Big Brother Lin, are you interested in joining the Red Kun lineage?"
"In a while, I will have a 'recommendation' quota. I can give it to you then."
The channels for joining the Red Kun lineage were not just limited to the Seven Star Cave test. There were many ways to join openly.
'Internal recommendation' is the simplest method.
"Members of the Red Kun lineage have a chance for internal recommendation every hundred years."
"It involves recommending other evolvers to join the Red Kun lineage."
"Of course, evolvers who join the Red Kun lineage through internal recommendation are only the lowest-level peripheral members."
"They need to complete many tests to continue staying in the Red Kun lineage."
"Of course, even internal recommendation is not something most evolvers can hope for."
"After all, it's the Red Kun lineage, the supreme rulers of the Red Kun star domain."
"Just spending a few years inside is a qualification worth boasting about."
'Internal recommendation.'
Lin Yuan fell into contemplation.
As the thirteenth peak master of the Red Kun lineage, did he still need internal recommendation?
"What do you think, Brother Lin?"
Although Fang Qing didn't know what confidence Lin Yuan had to refuse Black Prison Ao's recruitment, he still wanted to lend Lin Yuan a hand because of their relationship.
"After joining the Red Kun lineage, Brother Lin, although you'll only be an outer member, with me looking after you, and with Brother Lin's talent, it won't be difficult to become a formal member in the future."
Fang Qing considered Lin Yuan comprehensively.
"Let's talk about it later."
Lin Yuan smiled.
"Okay."
Fang Qing nodded.
"Young Master."
"The 222 evolvers you wanted to recruit have all agreed and signed the contract."
Beizhao, dressed in black formal attire, bowed respectfully to Black Prison Ao seated on the throne.
"Then follow the next plan, provide special training for these 222 evolvers, and ensure their strength increases by at least forty percent before the next arena match begins."
Black Prison Ao said.
"Yes."
Beizhao responded and then disappeared on the spot.
"222 evolvers."
Black Prison Ao fell silent. It should have been 223 evolvers.
But Lin Yuan refused the recruitment, and Black Prison Ao had planned to use the disruption of trade to force the other party to capitulate.
But then Fang Qing suddenly appeared.
"Wait and see, as long as I can pass the family's test, return to the family, and sit on the position of clan leader, all of you will pay the price."
Black Prison Ao muttered to himself.
On the mainland of the Canglan Star, in the manor.
In the underground training ground of the main building.
Lin Yuan connected his consciousness to the virtual world and entered the arena area.
"Let's see if anyone has accepted the challenge."
Several hours ago, Lin Yuan had selected a large number of evolvers with similar strength levels, intending to challenge them to accelerate the transformation of soul fusion.
"Hmm?"
Opening the application list, Lin Yuan's brow suddenly furrowed.
Because he found that all his applications had been rejected.
Rejected.
Rejected.
Rejected.
Still rejected.
Out of over a hundred applications, more than seventy had been rejected, and the remaining thirty or forty, while not rejected, hadn't been accepted either, not much different from rejection.
"They all rejected me?"
Lin Yuan blinked.
Was this the result of his first application for a challenge?
...
