Chapter 229
Chapter 229
"Who knows how much merit points this intelligence is worth," Lin Yuan thought, feeling somewhat hopeful since experiencing the privileges of a Level Seven Citizen.
Lin Yuan wanted to advance to a Level Eight Citizen as soon as possible.
In the entire Annan Star Alliance, in this era, there was only one Level Eight Citizen, and that was the Chief Senator of the Star Alliance. (There are many Star Alliance, Annan is the Star Alliance to which the Red Kun Star Domain belongs)
Facing a Level Eight Citizen, even invincible beings like the Star Lords of Red Kun and Nine Dragons Star Domains have to show respect.
Unfortunately, it was extremely difficult for a Level Six Citizen to advance to Level Seven, akin to reaching the heavens. And for a Level Seven Citizen to advance to Level Eight, it was even more daunting.
At least the Star Lord of Red Kun Star Domain had killed countless alien powerhouses, yet still hadn't accumulated enough merit points to advance to Level Eight Citizen.
Even the evolutionary scholars who had developed a complete Eighth Rank evolution path didn't all become Level Eight Citizens.
Lin Yuan knew that the intelligence he was about to provide couldn't fill the merit points needed for his promotion to Level Eight Citizen.
But it could somewhat reduce the difficulty of his future advancement to Level Eight Citizen.
An hour later, the voice of the Wisdom Goddess came again."Respected Level Seven Citizen Lin Yuan, the intelligence you provided has been assessed to be worth one million five hundred thousand merit points. Would you like it to be distributed now?"
"One million five hundred thousand merit points?" A smile spread across Lin Yuan's face.
Lin Yuan had only earned three million merit points from creating the Seventh Rank Martial Arts Chapter. Yet now, just a piece of intelligence was worth half of that?
"Distribute it," Lin Yuan said, satisfied.
He knew that what he said sounded like it helped the evolution of human civilization, finding another way to comprehend that body fragment.
But it was just on the surface.
How many evolvers could actually achieve that? Comprehending three thousand three hundred and thirty-three evolution paths sounded terrifying. For almost all evolvers, the difficulty of this method was much greater than directly practicing a single evolution path.
Therefore.
The Wisdom Goddess's assessment of this intelligence, worth one million five hundred thousand merit points, exceeded Lin Yuan's expectations.
It was like an evolution path. If an evolution path was rated as Ninth Rank or even higher, its value would be immeasurable.
But if the premise 'unable to cultivate' was added before this evolution path, its value would inevitably plummet. The intelligence Lin Yuan provided was like this. At least at the current stage, there was no evolver who could comprehend three thousand three hundred and thirty-three evolution paths.
Even if someone could in the future, it would be a long time from now.
With Lin Yuan's agreement, one million five hundred thousand merit points were deposited into his account.
"But, if it's just perfecting and completing a certain evolution path, and reaching the ultimate stage, even strongest ones can achieve it. In theory, strongest ones should have already condensed the Devil Jade Mark and know the method I mentioned," Lin Yuan suddenly realized.
"Perhaps the conditions for strongest ones to condense the Devil Jade Mark are different from ours?" Lin Yuan speculated. Strongest ones were such existences that merely perfecting and completing a flawed evolution path shouldn't be difficult for them.
Based on the difficulty of becoming an ordinary member of Devil Jade Tower, the test for strongest ones should be higher, or perhaps strongest ones didn't start as ordinary members when they joined Devil Jade Tower.
Several days later.
Lin Yuan opened the cosmic star map of the current territory of human civilization.
"The star domain where Big Senior Brother chooses to reside is located at the southeast edge of the territory of human civilization, where it borders other powerful clans."
Lin Yuan had long learned from Big Senior Brother where the star domain he was about to go to was.
The newly opened star domains of human civilization were not like the Red Kun Star Domain, which had been operating for hundreds of thousands of years and was basically considered a stronghold with little danger.

Star Lords were needed to handle such things as some special life clans occupying the territory or some cosmic mysteries.
These were all tasks awaiting Star Lords.
A newly promoted Rank Eight Evolver needed to stay in a star domain for five hundred years, not for luxury, but because they truly needed to fight for the civilization of humanity.
"The place Big Senior Brother chose is not bad, at least it doesn't border with peak clans."
Lin Yuan thought to himself. Just bordering with a few powerful clans meant high security because powerful clans basically wouldn't dare to antagonize human civilization.
Let alone making a move against a Star Lord. If they made a move today, the stronghold of this powerful clan would be leveled by human civilization tomorrow.
But peak clans were different.
Of course, normally speaking, human civilization and the other major peak clans restrained each other. The commotion in the last alien battlefield was because the Insect Clan was pursuing a Supreme Evolution Path.
So they almost flipped the table. A Supreme Evolution Path, which had already produced a Supreme Evolver, could completely change the overall situation of the current alliance of major peak clans. (Supreme Evoler = Strongest One)
Naturally, the Insect Clan disregarded everything.
Even so, the Insect Clan alliance was also cleared out by human civilization afterward, and many powerful clans within the alliance suffered heavy losses, with the Black Abyss Clan losing a tenth of its territory.
When it came to the birth of a Supreme Evolver, the Insect Clan and other peak clans dared to confront human civilization. As for other aspects, it was unnecessary.
Although they infiltrated each other, assassinating geniuses from each other's clans, overall, they were restrained within a certain range.
"When I reach the Eighth Rank, I also need to choose a star domain to reside in."
Lin Yuan had exchanged views with Big Senior Brother several times, seeming to care, but in fact, it was also for himself.
After all, Lin Yuan was now only one step away from the Eighth Rank, and his Spirit Will Index had soared to over nine thousand eight hundred since condensing the Devil Jade Mark.
The ten thousand point threshold was within reach.
As long as the Spirit Will Index reaches ten thousand points, Lin Yuan can directly advance to the Eighth Rank.
"When the time comes, my main body will go to the star domain to preside, the Yin Spirit will stay on the alien battlefield to comprehend the permanent spatial cracks, the Yang Spirit will stay on the main star of Red Kun, and leave a drop of essence blood," Lin Yuan thought to himself.
"The main body's strength is the strongest. The purpose of presiding over the star domain is to sweep away all forces. Even if an accident occurs and the main body perishes, relying on the divine ability 'Blood Rebirth,' the drop of essence blood left on the main star of Red Kun can quickly grow and 'return' in the most perfect manner."
"I won't need to use the methods derived from the Yin and Yang Spirits."
Of course, in order to minimize losses, the main body going to preside over the star domain definitely cannot carry any precious treasures. Otherwise, if they die and lose the treasures, Lin Yuan would still feel heartache.
The physical body can be reborn, but treasures cannot be recovered.
"Perhaps I'm overthinking it."
Lin Yuan pondered for a while, then shook his head slightly.
According to the data of the Alliance of Human Civilization, the mortality rate for newly promoted Rank Eight Evolvers going to preside over the border star domains is very low.
This was the case for ordinary Rank Eight Evolvers as well. Furthermore, considering that Lin Yuan could already overpower most Rank Eights when he was at Rank Seven, and his strength would undergo a significant transformation once he advanced to Rank Eight, he estimated that he could rival those peak Rank Eight extreme powerhouses.
Virtual world.
Inside a tavern.
This tavern was only open to evolvers of Rank Seven or above, and it was a place for relatively high-level evolvers of human civilization to communicate.
Lin Yuan was sitting in the corner, chatting with Gao Wufeng.
Some time ago, Gao Wufeng nearly went berserk while cultivating the evolution path derived from that body fragment, but was promptly suppressed by the Star Lord of Nine Swords Star Domain, and had barely recovered recently.
"I finally understand why you, Thirteenth Peak Master, didn't cultivate the evolution path inside that body fragment. It turns out you were following the second method," Gao Wufeng suddenly realized.
Not long ago, the Wisdom Goddess announced again that besides directly practicing, there was another way to comprehend a certain number of evolution paths from that body fragment.
The Wisdom Goddess specifically emphasized that this method was too difficult, so it wasn't announced immediately. Only selected talented evolvers were tested. Now that it was confirmed that there were no problems, it was announced to the public.
"Hahaha," Lin Yuan shook his head and smiled.
The Wisdom Goddess had indeed considered it thoroughly. By doing this, she inadvertently concealed Lin Yuan's identity.
"I understand. When it comes to such secrets, Thirteenth Peak Master, you can't casually talk about them to outsiders," Gao Wufeng immediately expressed his understanding.
"But this method is too outrageous. Comprehending a certain number of evolution paths? Under that Spirit Will pressure, it's hard enough just to maintain sanity, let alone comprehend one evolution path after another," Gao Wufeng shook his head, his tone revealing helplessness.
Indeed.
This method was extremely safe.
At least one's own Spirit Will wouldn't be affected by the wrong evolution path.
But it was basically impossible to achieve. Not cultivating and comprehending evolution paths would result in continuous suppression of Spirit Will.
This suppression didn't start from weak to strong, but depended on the strength of the evolver's Spirit Will.
Even if your Spirit Will Index reached twenty thousand points, under that Spirit Will pressure, it would quickly reach its limit.
Then, it depended on how long you could persist.
Before Lin Yuan comprehended the body fragment, his Spirit Will Index was only over seven thousand points. After a few years of comprehension, it was almost close to ten thousand points.
Under the seemingly endless Spirit Will pressure, it was also a kind of tempering for one's Spirit Will.
"I haven't comprehended that many," Lin Yuan nodded. He hadn't seen the end of the evolution paths contained within the body fragment even now. Just comprehending over three thousand was just a drop in the ocean.
"Thirteenth Peak Master, you're being modest again," Gao Wufeng looked at Lin Yuan somewhat helplessly.
At the same time, he was also pondering. How many? Being able to say this meant that Thirteenth Peak Master had comprehended at least five or six evolution paths, and maybe even close to ten?
After chatting with Gao Wufeng for a few moments.
Lin Yuan returned to the virtual world to comprehend the body fragment once again.
"The Wisdom Goddess actually made the second method public?" Lin Yuan thought to himself.
But after a moment of consideration, Lin Yuan understood. Even if this method was made public, what difference would it make? As long as the number of evolution paths required to achieve the goal wasn't revealed, it wouldn't matter even if the aliens knew about it.
Sometimes, the goal was important. If you didn't know how many evolution paths you needed to comprehend to achieve the goal, those alien powerhouses basically wouldn't be able to persevere.
After all, the Spirit Will pressure from that body fragment was an extreme torture. Under poor conditions, the speed of comprehension would greatly decrease.
Lin Yuan had stumbled upon it accidentally. Originally, he didn't intend to comprehend the Supreme Evolution Path. He just wanted to temper his Spirit Will.
And with the blessing of Unrivaled Insight, he quickly comprehended over three thousand three hundred and thirty-three paths, eventually condensing the Devil Jade Mark and achieving enlightenment.
As for others? Almost none could persevere.
"Let's continue to comprehend."
Lin Yuan calmed his thoughts and looked up once again at the body fragment under the sky.
Although Lin Yuan was already a regular member of Devil Jade Tower, since there were regular members, there were also core and even higher-level members.
If he continued to comprehend more evolution paths, could he obtain an elevation in status within Devil Jade Tower?
Most importantly, comprehending the evolution paths within the body fragment was greatly beneficial to Lin Yuan. After analysis, he could integrate the essence into himself.
And he could continue to enhance his own Spirit Will.
It could be said to kill three birds with one stone.
Lin Yuan naturally didn't want to give up.
Even if he advanced to Rank Eight soon, he wouldn't give up on this place.
Like this.
Lin Yuan once again immersed himself in comprehension.
One day, two days.
One month, two months.
In the blink of an eye, a year had passed.
Under the endless pressure of Spirit Will, Lin Yuan's will seemed to reach its limit, and the outer parts began to collapse.
"Hold on, hold on," Lin Yuan continued to persevere.
After an unknown amount of time passed, it felt like he had entered a kind of restraint.
Lin Yuan's Spirit Will began to undergo a transformation. Originally, his Spirit Will was only an illusionary thing, but now, it emitted a deep light, almost tangible.
"Phew," Lin Yuan breathed out lightly.
Just now, he almost couldn't hold on.
Fortunately, he didn't give up in the end.
"My current Spirit Will," Lin Yuan noticed that his Spirit Will had definitely improved significantly compared to before, which was an important step from illusion to reality.
"Let's see what my current Spirit Will Index is."
Lin Yuan disconnected from the virtual world and, after resting in reality for half a day, entered his personal space in the most perfect state.
"Wisdom Goddess, I request to measure my Spirit Will Index," Lin Yuan directly connected to the Wisdom Goddess.
"Respected Level Seven Citizen Lin Yuan, without using any physical or soul power, only relying on your own Mental Consciousness, impact the surroundings," came the solemn and cold voice of the Wisdom Goddess.
Lin Yuan complied, and a huge Spirit Will pressure swept over the surroundings.
Faintly, even the air distorted.
After a moment.
The voice of the Wisdom Goddess came again.
"Respected Level Seven Citizen Lin Yuan, after the test, your current Spirit Will Index is approximately around eleven thousand two hundred."
"So much more?" Lin Yuan's spirit was uplifted.
Ten thousand Spirit Will was a threshold, determining whether one could successfully pass through the Heart Demon Tribulation.
Similarly, after reaching ten thousand, the difficulty of increasing the Spirit Will Index would skyrocket.
For Lin Yuan to now have over eleven thousand Spirit Will Index was simply unbelievable.
With the body of a Rank Seven Evolver, to raise the Spirit Will Index to this level, there were probably not many in the history of human civilization.
"Spirit Will Index surpasses ten thousand," Lin Yuan's thoughts converged, and he made a decision.
"With everything in place, I'll directly begin to break through to the Eighth Rank."
