Chapter 225
Chapter 225
Zuoqiu Guang's words were tinged with self-deprecation.
Once upon a time, she, along with Gao Wufeng and several other evolvers, had looked down upon Lin Yuan's timid actions.
They believed that on the path of evolution, pushing forward relentlessly was the correct approach.
For example, Gao Wufeng forcefully confronting the Heart Demon Tribulation.
But now...
Gao Wufeng was on the verge of madness.
She, too, had decided to give up voluntarily.
The other evolvers had also experienced successive failures in their cultivation during this period.
The small group from before now only had Lin Yuan persisting.
From the perspective of results, the few of them had gained nothing over these years.And due to the evolution pathways contained within their cultivated bodies, their mental wills were all affected to some extent.
Even though it wasn't as severe as Gao Wufeng's case, it still required a significant amount of time and treasures to recover.
Contrastingly, Lin Yuan...
All he sought was to use the pressure of his mental will to temper his own.
Now, it seemed to be paying off.
Though...
In the eyes of Zuoqiu Guang and the others...
Tempering one's mental will didn't seem like a difficult task.
But at least compared to themselves, Lin Yuan not only remained unharmed but also gained something.
One before, one after.
Forming a stark contrast.
"I'm just not cultivating, that's all," Lin Yuan sighed.
Actually, abstaining from cultivation sounded easy.
But in practice, it was extremely difficult, especially when the path to ultimate evolution lay right in front of you.
Who could resist not cultivating?
The delicacies were laid out on the table, could you resist just eating plain rice?
Lin Yuan could control himself because he had Unrivaled Insight and the Gateway of the Myriad Realms. He believed that even without relying on that fragmentary body, he could find a way to become the strongest.
But others didn't have that ability.
Even the offspring of the strongest had to strive when faced with such opportunities.
"No wonder the rules set by the strongest are to divide evolvers into batches, to come in and comprehend, rather than all at once," Lin Yuan thought.
If they all comprehended simultaneously, what if there were collective problems? Wouldn't it affect the entire human civilization?
Even though the primary comprehenders of the fragmentary body were mostly seventh-rank evolvers, if too many of them disappeared at once, it would easily cause turmoil.
But with batches coming in, this problem wouldn't exist.
If one batch encountered issues, they could simply suspend the opening of the fragmentary body until most of them were healed, then open it again one by one.
"The further one cultivates along the pathway contained within this fragmentary body, the greater the impact on oneself, especially in the case of cultivation failure," Lin Yuan glanced at the fragmentary body under the sky.
If the failure occurred right after beginning cultivation, it probably wouldn't have much impact, at most requiring some time to recuperate.
But if, like Gao Wufeng, one achieved a certain level of success and then failed again, it wouldn't be a matter of just taking a break for a while.
Therefore, Zuoqiu Guang's voluntary choice to give up was based on this consideration. At least for now, giving up would incur a much lighter cost compared to being forced to give up after a cultivation failure in the future.
Gao Wufeng was a case in point.
"If I comprehend a certain pathway of evolution through cultivation, relying on my Unrivaled Insight, perhaps I could go much further than Gao Wufeng, but once I fail, the consequences would be dire," Lin Yuan shuddered slightly.
"I cannot cultivate."
"Even comprehending must be done with extreme caution."
Lin Yuan frowned slightly, thinking to himself.
At the main star of the Red Kun Lineage...

Lin Yuan disconnected from the virtual world and decided to rest for a while.
"Breaking Boundary Source Power."
Lin Yuan's mind reached deep into his thoughts, looking towards the grand and majestic Gateway of the Myriad Realms.
At the same time, Lin Yuan sensed the numerous pieces of information transmitted by the Gateway of the Myriad Realms.
"Five strands of Breaking Boundary Source Power."
A smile appeared on Lin Yuan's face.
Over these years, he hadn't been transmigrating back and forth; he had been comprehending the fragmentary body, honing his mental will. Unknowingly, he had accumulated five strands of Breaking Boundary Source Power.
"If it weren't for the Yin Spirit always being on the battlefield of the foreign races, the Breaking Boundary Source Power now would be at most three or four strands,"
Lin Yuan looked up, towards a direction where he had chosen a battlefield of the foreign races, specifically for the Yin Spirit to go there, staying under a permanent spatial rift to accelerate the accumulation of the Breaking Boundary Source Power.
"Five strands of the Breaking Boundary Source Power, enough for five transmigrations trips, but these five trips are all random, unable to choose the category and level of the worlds," Lin Yuan pondered.
The notion of 'random transmigrations' left Lin Yuan feeling uncertain. If he were to transmigrations to a lower-tier world similar to the first transmigration, not only would he not become stronger, he wouldn't even be able to restore his peak strength. Wouldn't that be wasting a transmigration opportunity?
"If I don't transmigrate randomly, I have two options now," Lin Yuan rubbed his chin.
One was to go to the Spirit Realm. During Lin Yuan's fifth transmigration trip, he obtained coordinates about the Spirit Realm from the Central Divine Continent. By spending ten strands of the Breaking Boundary Source Power, Lin Yuan could silently descend to the Spirit Realm. (Immortal Realm)
Given the level of the Spirit Realm, it would be sufficient for Lin Yuan to cultivate for quite a long time, at least not needing to consider reaching the eighth rank, or even the ninth rank.
The second option is to develop the Azure World in depth, to be precise, the extraterritorial void of the Azure World, where the evil gods are rampant, and there are even legendary evil gods who have grown to the ninth stage, to establish a gathering place.
Of course.
There's a third option.
That is to expend a hundred strands of the Breaking Boundary Source Power.
"Customize" the world you transmigrate to.
The so-called "customization" is entirely according to Lin Yuan's requirements.
For example, if Lin Yuan wants to transmigrations to a primordial great world, he can directly customize it and then transmigrate.
If Lin Yuan wants to specify the "category" and "level" of the world he transmigrate to, he can also customize it.
Of course, the starting point for "customized" transmigration is a hundred strands of the Breaking Boundary Source Power. If the customized world is special, the consumption will be even greater.
But overall, as long as the Breaking Boundary Source Power is sufficient, Lin Yuan can go to any world. No dimensions can stop him.
"Azure World."
Thinking of the Azure World, Lin Yuan planned to receive the information transmitted by the Azure World.
Among Lin Yuan's six transmigrations, the Azure World was definitely the one he grasped the most deeply, even the world consciousness was replaced.
With the Primordial Demon Tree, who controlled the Heavenly Dao, Lin Yuan could barely receive information from the Azure World through the world coordinates imprinted by the Gateway of the Myriad Realms.
"Hmm?"
"So many things have happened over the years?"
Lin Yuan's mind converged on the world coordinate imprint of the Azure World.
Suddenly, a large amount of information from the Primordial Demon Tree poured into his mind.
Since the end of the sixth transmigration until now, only a few years have passed in the main world.
But for the Azure World, due to the different flow rates of time, it has been thousands of years.
During these thousands of years, the beings of the Azure World have been doing well, but those few extraterritorial evil gods have repeatedly come forward, wanting to contact Lin Yuan.
But they were all sent away by the Primordial Demon Tree according to Lin Yuan's instructions.
"Those few extraterritorial evil gods..."
Lin Yuan's eyes narrowed slightly. He had sensed that those few extraterritorial evil gods were not right at the time. How could they want to invite him to explore some void secrets?
"As long as the Primordial Demon Tree is in charge of the world, there is no fear."
Lin Yuan didn't care at all.
The Primordial World Tree had become the 'Heavenly Dao' of the Azure World. It was not comparable to the original world consciousness. It could still harness the immense power of the world. Even if ten extraterritorial evil gods came to kill, the Primordial Demon Tree could still contend.
Time passed.
Another year passed.
Lin Yuan sat cross-legged on the top of the mountain, observing the fragmentary body under the sky.
[Your insight defies the heavens, observing the mysterious body, comprehending the three thousand three hundred and thirty-first evolutionary path]
"The three thousand three hundred and thirty-first evolutionary path."
Lin Yuan's eyes sparkled slightly, immediately starting to analyze this evolutionary path.
"This is called the evolutionary path, and it's actually related to time? The combination of time and space? The essence of time and space?"
Lin Yuan was amazed.
The rules of time, like the rules of space and life, were one of the main rules of the main world.
But compared to the rules of space and life, the rules of time were even harder to comprehend. To comprehend the complete rules of time, only the strongest could do it.
The 'resurrection' ability of the strongest was based on reversing time and space, which required a complete mastery of the rules of time, breaking free from the shackles of the river of time, reversing against the current, and then resurrecting the person from the past.
Of course, the person resurrected must have reached a certain level of essence, otherwise, if the essence of life is too weak, even if the strongest person goes against the current, they cannot 'pick it up' and place it on the current timeline.
"The rules of time."
Lin Yuan carefully pondered. Time was intangible and formless, yet it was everywhere. It was too difficult to comprehend time. Especially now that Lin Yuan was only at the seventh rank.
The level was too low. Even with his defying insight, the effect would be minimal.
"Forget it."
"Wait until the eighth rank to comprehend."
"Now, focus all efforts on comprehending the rules of space."
"Only with a deep enough understanding of the rules of space can one better comprehend the rules of time."
Lin Yuan gave up comprehending the rules of time, which was too uneconomical for himself.
Time passed slowly.
More and more human evolver geniuses entered the virtual world to comprehend the fragmentary body.
These evolver geniuses, because they came later, knew the outcome of the first evolvers who comprehended the fragmentary body.
But not a single evolver gave up. Since they could be called evolver geniuses, they were extremely confident, believing that what others couldn't do, they could definitely do.
"I am the ethereal body, and I am highly valued by the Goddess of Wisdom, who hides and keeps information about me. I am sure to comprehend the strongest evolutionary path."
In a certain virtual world, a young man sat on the mountaintop, looking up at the fragmentary body under the sky.
Several months later.
"Who am I?"
"Where am I?"
"What should I do now?"
The young man looked confused, and his body exploded with a bang.
"This is the path of the strongest evolution. I have reached the peak of the eighth rank. There is almost no hope of stepping into the ninth rank. It is impossible to even reach the invincibility of the eighth rank."
"Instead of that, it's better to take a risk, give up everything, and comprehend the fragmentary body. Once successful, I will be cultivated by the entire human civilization."
A venerable old man made up his mind.
Then he applied to the Goddess of Wisdom to comprehend the fragmentary body.
One year later.
The venerable old man sat on the top of the mountain.
Looking at the fragmentary body under the sky.
His expression was extremely solemn.
"This isn't right."
"The body is not right."
"The evolutionary path I am cultivating is not right."
The venerable old man kept reminiscing about something, feeling that a segment of his memory was beginning to fade.
This sign even showed signs of spreading.
"This body is too demonic. How could the strongest release such an uncontrollable thing?"
The venerable old man steadied himself and decided to give up comprehension.
Continuing to comprehend and cultivate, he felt that all his memories would be wiped out.
By then, he might become a puppet without any memories?
"This body of mine, not long ago, took over a special life, with powerful innate talents, far surpassing humans. By using him to comprehend that body, I should be able to achieve twice the result with half the effort."
A green-skinned man with dragon horns on his forehead smiled.
In terms of innate talent, humans could never compare to those special lives deep in the starry sky.
Of course, when comparing as a whole population, if it was individual, with the population base of human civilization, monsters and prodigies would emerge every so often, no less than those special lives.
However.
Within the special life groups, there would also be genius prodigies.
And this green-skinned man with dragon horns, his possession target was a genius from a certain special life group.
His comprehension of various rules was extremely terrifying, and his vitality and blood were unparalleled, making him formidable.
In order to comprehend the path of the strongest evolution, this green-skinned man with dragon horns had paid a huge price. It was not easy to capture such a genius from a special life group alive.
A year and a half later.
The expression of the green-skinned man with dragon horns was ugly, and his spiritual consciousness was shrouded in layers of vague shadows.
"Is this a heart demon?"
"Damn it, isn't it said that only a very small number of evolutionary paths would attract heart demons?"
The green-skinned man with dragon horns breathed a sigh of relief. He was already an eighth-rank evolver, with a spiritual willpower index exceeding ten thousand points. Passing the heart demon ordeal again was not difficult.
"Shit, this is the ninth-rank heart demon test."
After a moment, the green-skinned man with dragon horns let out a howl.
"The geniuses of human civilization are too many."
Lin Yuan sat on the mountaintop, watching batch after batch of human genius evolvers come in.
These evolvers might not match Lin Yuan in terms of insight, but in other aspects, such as physique, bloodline, soul, and so on, they had unique characteristics.
And this was just the virtual world where Lin Yuan was located.
In addition to this virtual world, there were countless other virtual worlds where one could comprehend that body.
"Unfortunately, they all failed."
"So far, none of the genius evolvers who participated in comprehending the body has found that path of the strongest one."
Lin Yuan silently pondered in his mind.
"Maybe the strongest ones were wrong? Maybe this body doesn't contain the so-called path of the strongest one at all?"
"Or maybe, the body containing the path of the strongest is not this one, but the bodies in the hands of other peak groups?"
Lin Yuan speculated.
"But what does this have to do with me?"
"I never hoped to comprehend that path of the strongest one in the first place."
"Comprehending and analyzing the ordinary evolutionary paths contained within the body, I am already satisfied."
Lin Yuan's thoughts converged as he continued to observe the fragmentary body under the sky.
[Your insight defies the heavens, observing the mysterious body, comprehending the three thousand three hundred and thirty-third evolutionary path]
It's unknown how long passed.
Lin Yuan comprehended another evolutionary path.
With the addition of this new evolutionary path to the one he had started comprehending, Lin Yuan had now comprehended three thousand three hundred and thirty-three evolutionary paths.
"Analyze."
A smile appeared on Lin Yuan's face.
However.
Before Lin Yuan could analyze this evolutionary path.
Boom.
In Lin Yuan's memory, the third thousand three hundred and thirty-second evolutionary path he had comprehended before and this third thousand three hundred and thirty-third evolutionary path unexpectedly underwent some kind of mutation.
Vaguely, these three thousand three hundred and thirty-three evolutionary paths formed a mark of the 'Nine-Story Black Tower', integrating into the depths of his soul.
"Hmm?"
Lin Yuan was surprised.
The next moment.
The mental pressure emanating from that fragmentary body, which had caused Lin Yuan great pressure, the murmurs that were previously indistinct suddenly became clear.
"Comprehend the three thousand three hundred and thirty-three evolutionary paths, form the Devil Jade Mark, and automatically become an ordinary member of the Devil Jade Tower."
