The trunk of the Ancestor Demon Tree grew even thicker, and the ancient, profound aura rushed forth. No matter how far away, the beings of the Azure World could see the sacred tree that supported the heavens and earth just by looking up.
At this moment, Lin Yuan's cultivation also reached a critical juncture.

Establishing a method to replace the world's secret techniques was theoretically impossible, akin to a mere ant climbing to the top of the sky.
Even with unrivaled insight, it still required a foundation and nourishment. Many secret techniques related to the consciousness of the world in this realm were the most precious nourishment.
Over the past few hundred years, Lin Yuan had obtained many secret techniques related to the consciousness of various worlds through trades with other extraterritorial evil gods, pointing out a specific direction for the unrivaled insight.[Your insight is unrivaled, comprehending many secret techniques of various worlds, creating a method to replace the consciousness of the world]
Numerous inspirations erupted in Lin Yuan's mind, forming a complete secret technique.
"Finally done."
Lin Yuan opened his eyes, with a hint of emotion in his expression.
For a full one hundred and eighty years, he had no distractions. He no longer deduced the path of martial arts evolution, nor did he contemplate the core spatial model. It was all to comprehend the method of replacing the consciousness of the world before the limit arrived.
In Lin Yuan's plan, even if he couldn't comprehend the method of replacing the consciousness of the world this time, he would wait for six or seven years after returning to the main world to accumulate ten strands of boundary-breaking source power and descend to the Azure World again.
After all, completely owning a world was too tempting, and with minimal cost and the ability to descend to the Azure World at any time, Lin Yuan couldn't refuse.
It's important to note that Lin Yuan's arrival wasn't just in the Azure World.
It was in the vast extraterritorial void, including the Azure World.
Encompassing countless extraterritorial evil gods, worlds similar to the Azure World, and even terrifying evil gods that had grown to the ninth stage.
It was precisely because Lin Yuan perceived the vast void outside the Azure World that he was determined to obtain the Azure World.
"This secret technique."
Lin Yuan began to focus on the newly created method of replacing the consciousness of the world.
This secret technique indeed had the potential to replace the instinctual consciousness of the Ancestor Demon Tree with the consciousness of the Azure World.
However, there were many limitations.
For example, the consciousness of the Azure World must be powerless to resist, that is, it must be asleep.
And one must grasp the means to influence the consciousness of the world, which could be achieved by relying on the World Sword.
Many limitations can be said to specifically target the current state of the Azure World.
From another perspective, the state of the Azure World was indeed rare, with many conditions simultaneously present, as if it had been prepared specifically for Lin Yuan.
"Unfortunately, if this kind of secret technique were used in the main world, it would probably be crushed into pieces by the vast consciousness of the main world at the first moment."
Lin Yuan sighed.
If talking about replacing the consciousness of the world, the best target naturally would be the main world.
If he could replace the consciousness of the main world, Lin Yuan would become the undisputed strongest in the universe, among the countless races of the cosmos.
Even the invincible strongest would be suppressed.
But unfortunately, the premise of this secret technique was that the consciousness of the world must be asleep.
And Lin Yuan couldn't think of how to make the consciousness of the main world fall asleep.
Battle between the strongest?
With the means of the strongest, launching all-out attacks could create permanent spatial fissures millions, billions, or even trillions of miles wide.
But considering the vastness of the main world, even permanent spatial fissures spanning billions of light-years would be insignificant to the main world.

"There's about ten years left of residence time."
"Let's start trying to replace the consciousness of the world."
Lin Yuan didn't rest. Immediately after creating the secret technique, he began to execute it.
Hum.
Lin Yuan's consciousness began to elevate, merging into the vast ocean of origin of the Azure World.
This was the innate ability of the Ancestor Demon Tree, but Lin Yuan's integration was not for devouring the origin, but to prepare for the replacement to come.
"So wonderful. Is this the most fundamental area of the world?"
Lin Yuan observed carefully, sensing endless energy fluctuations. Everything that happened in the Azure World was reflected here.
Mastering the origin of the world was equivalent to mastering the entire Azure World.
"Those extraterritorial evil gods are truly foolish. Such a perfect place, yet they only think of devouring it instead of comprehending and controlling it?"
Lin Yuan thought of the Ancestor Demon Tree's desire for the origin of the Azure World, that desire to devour it completely, and shook his head slightly.
This was the thinking of almost all extraterritorial evil gods.
Devour.
Devour.
Devour.
However, to Lin Yuan, this was almost the most foolish approach.
It was like melting down and forging an integrated circuit chip that had gathered various high-tech achievements.
In fact, Lin Yuan overestimated those extraterritorial evil gods.
Lin Yuan could sense a lot of mysteries from the origin of the world because of his unrivaled insight.
But the extraterritorial evil gods didn't have much insight. They were more dominated by instinct, and how could they look as deep and far as Lin Yuan?
"Let's begin."
Lin Yuan breathed out lightly, and his consciousness began to diffuse and elevate.
Within just a few breaths, Lin Yuan's consciousness spread to every corner of the origin area.
If the consciousness of the world were not asleep but awake, it would easily crush Lin Yuan's consciousness.
There was no suspense.
The consciousness dispersed into countless subtle parts, would be unable to resist the overwhelming pressure of the vast world consciousness.
But the world consciousness was asleep.
Naturally, this scene did not occur.
Even so, Lin Yuan remained cautious.
Even if the world consciousness was asleep, there was still a risk of assimilation with his consciousness being so scattered.
Once assimilated, Lin Yuan would completely lose himself. Although he would eventually replace the world consciousness, fundamentally, there would be no difference from the consciousness being replaced.
So Lin Yuan was extremely vigilant.
As soon as there was a trend of assimilation, he would not hesitate to end this journey.
At that time, the Gate of the Myriad Realms would operate on its own, sucking all of his consciousness into the gate and sending it back to the main world.
This was also Lin Yuan's greatest confidence in daring to attempt to replace the world consciousness.
He had the Gate of the Myriad Realms, which could prevent the most extreme situations from occurring.
It was just an early return, a small loss for Lin Yuan.
Time passed slowly.
In the blink of an eye, three years had passed.
During these three years, Lin Yuan's consciousness, powered by the origin, merged into every part of the Azure World.
Hum.
At this moment.
Subtle changes began to occur in the Azure World.
These changes were extremely subtle. Even the peak seventh-ranked leaders of the Azure Alliance could only perceive them vaguely and were not very sure.
Above the sky, a huge face appeared faintly, precisely Lin Yuan's face. His eyes alone were over millions of miles wide, overlooking every aspect of the Azure World.
"Does this count as a successful replacement?" Lin Yuan secretly thought. At this moment, with just a thought, he could appear anywhere in the Azure World.
He didn't even need to appear; he could sense everything happening in the world.
"Am I... the Master of the World?" Lin Yuan's consciousness returned, back into the body of the Ancestor Demon Tree.
"In the Azure World, I am invincible," Lin Yuan said thoughtfully.
At this moment, he had completely replaced the consciousness of the Azure World. The entire Azure World, like his body, could be controlled at will.
"This power... is too terrifying," Lin Yuan couldn't help but marvel. Controlling a world felt incredibly shocking, being able to wield the power of the world at will.
Lin Yuan felt that, at this moment, if he faced an invasion by the Ancestor Demon Tree, he would have no pressure at all.
Compared to the original world consciousness, Lin Yuan's greatest difference lay in having concrete thoughts and ideas, able to make any actions.
It was like herbivores in the natural world facing carnivores; even if they were far stronger in terms of strength and size, they dared not resist and would face death if chased.
The Azure World and the extraterritorial evil gods were like herbivores and carnivores respectively.
The world consciousness of the Azure World only had rough instincts. Faced with the invasion of the extraterritorial evil gods, it only knew to use all its strength recklessly, unable to grasp the details.
But Lin Yuan replaced the original world consciousness, controlling everything. The extraterritorial evil gods, as long as they didn't come by the dozens or hundreds, could be completely ignored.
"The Essence Gold."
Lin Yuan's thoughts moved slightly, and the Essence Gold appeared before him.
After nearly five hundred years of gestation, the shape of the Essence Gold had completely formed. It was a 'clock-shaped' object, with many natural patterns engraved on its surface, ancient and vast, bearing the traces of long years passing by.
"I require the gestation of the Essence Gold for defense, absolute defense. It's not only physical defense but also spiritual and soul defense."
Lin Yuan carefully inspected the Essence Gold.
The preciousness of the Essence Gold lay in its potential for growth and its malleability.
The latter was its malleability, meaning it could approach any type of weapon. With Lin Yuan's unrivaled insight, given enough time, it could grow to an unimaginable height. Therefore, the shaping of the Essence Gold naturally focused on survival.
"But the gestation of the Essence Gold does indeed consume a lot of the world's origin. After nearly five hundred years of gestation, the world's origin has been reduced by at least half to one-tenth."
Lin Yuan thought to himself.
Don't underestimate half to one-tenth; in the vastness of the Azure World, even half would be enough to bankrupt an eighth-ranked evolver from the main world.
"But it's worth it."
"Nearly five hundred years of gestation has almost formed the Essence Gold. When I return this time, it should be usable."
A smile appeared on Lin Yuan's face.
With the formidable strength of the Essence Gold, the defense intensity in terms of soul would not be inferior to that of an eighth-ranked soul defense treasure.
The most difficult thing was that the Essence Gold could be combined with other weapon treasures.
In other words, Lin Yuan could simultaneously defend his soul with an eighth-ranked soul defense treasure and the Essence Gold.
Under the Ancestor Demon Tree.
The Lord of the Azure Alliance, along with the vice-lords, guardians, and elders, gathered here.
"Master."
The Lord of the Azure Alliance respectfully spoke to the figure in front of him.
"Master."
Others did the same.
"You can all rise."
Lin Yuan waved his hand. What appeared before everyone now was an incarnation condensed from the power of the world.
After replacing the world consciousness and becoming the true master of the Azure World, Lin Yuan could mobilize the power of the world for his own use.
Creating an incarnation was just a thought away.
"Next, I will enter seclusion. The duration is uncertain, possibly hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of years," Lin Yuan said.
In a few years, Lin Yuan would reach the limit of his stay, and he would return to the main world.
Although Lin Yuan had become the master of the Azure World, the cost of returning would be much lower. However, due to the different flow rates of time between the two realms, Lin Yuan's next return might be hundreds or thousands of years later.
"What? Master is going into seclusion?"
"Thousands or tens of thousands of years, that's too long."
The Lord of the Azure Alliance and many others couldn't help but speak up.
"During my seclusion, the governance of the Azure World will follow the measures and guidelines I have left behind," Lin Yuan said.
These measures and guidelines were derived from human civilization in the main world.
As the pinnacle race of the universe with a long history, human civilization had rich experience in governing life on a planet.
These measures and guidelines were borrowed by Lin Yuan from the main world.
As long as these measures and guidelines were implemented, and with the maintenance of powerful force, the Azure World would enter a long period of prosperity.
And this would greatly benefit martial arts as well. The more prosperous and thriving the world, the greater the quantity and quality of martial artists.
"Alright."
"You can all leave now."
Lin Yuan waved his hand.
The Lord of the Azure Alliance and others respectfully withdrew.
In the next few years, Lin Yuan simply gave up cultivation.
Instead, he used the power of the world master to travel to every corner of the Azure World.
"The operation of the world, life is the key."
Lin Yuan stood on a high mountain, below which was a village with smoke rising from it.
If there were no life, even if there were many comprehensive rules, something would still be missing.
"Rules of life."
A hint of green flowed in Lin Yuan's eyes.
Like the rules of space, the rules of life were also one of the pillar rules. They were the most crucial part of the world's evolution—how life was born.
"[Your insight is extraordinary. Watching the proliferation of life, your understanding of the rules of life deepens]."
"I didn't expect that, in the last few years, I would actually grasp the basics of the rules of life?" Lin Yuan smiled.
The rules of life were on the same level as the rules of space. Initially, Lin Yuan had spent a lot of effort to grasp the rules of space.
But now, grasping the basics of the rules of life seemed much easier.
This was partly because of Lin Yuan's current level, which was far higher than when he comprehended the rules of space, and partly because, as the master of the world, he could perceive the nuances of life more intricately.
"The time has come."
Lin Yuan's mind converged, and he saw the Gate of the Myriad Realms suddenly radiating bright light.
"Many preparations have been made."
Lin Yuan looked in the direction of the Ancestor Demon Tree.
At this moment, he had already replaced the instinctual consciousness of the Ancestor Demon Tree with his own consciousness. Even if he left this realm, this world would still be under his control.
Having deeply imprinted his own life mark on it, the next time he descended, he could instantly gain ownership of the world.
"Let's go back."
Lin Yuan withdrew his gaze, and his figure quickly dissipated.
His consciousness also turned into a light point and entered the Gate of the Myriad Realms.
