Azure Wave Star, Water Moon District.
House number 32.
Inside a nutrient pod, Lin Yuan opened his eyes.
Compared to the first traversal, this time he had stayed much longer.
He had spent a full eighty years in the Dragon-Tiger World.
You should know that before this second traversal, including the first traversal, his life in the main world and on 'Earth' hadn't even totaled eighty years.
But all of this was worth it.
Because Lin Yuan had mastered the path of Taiji.
For those at the Heavenly Master level, breaking through along the path of Taiji was not the same as using the paths of Lunar Infinite or Solar Infinite.
In fact, even without relying on either Lunar or Solar Infinite, with Lin Yuan's heaven-defying comprehension, he could have forcibly carved a new path to break through to the Heavenly Master realm.
In the first ten years of the Dragon-Tiger World, Lin Yuan did exactly that.
But eventually he discovered that neither potential nor combat power matched up to Lunar Infinite or Solar Infinite.
And Lunar Infinite or Solar Infinite were not as good as Taiji.
The path of Taiji was, as of now, the most suitable path for Lin Yuan and also the most perfect and powerful path he could achieve.
There might be more powerful paths among the many evolution routes of the Universal Human Alliance, but none would fit Lin Yuan as well as the path of Taiji.
Isn't it more fulfilling to train in a path one has cultivated oneself than to follow the paths others created?
"My current strength is at the peak of second stage, twelfth level, almost reaching the third stage."
Lin Yuan estimated in his heart.
In the Dragon-Tiger World, during the cycle of demon suppression, Lin Yuan took only forty years to advance from second stage, ninth level to second stage, twelfth level.
With the remaining twenty years, he explored the path to the third stage.
To advance by three levels in forty years might be considered top-tier on Azure Wave Star, but within the entire Universal Human Alliance, it was only above average.
Don’t forget, every step Lin Yuan took was in path creation.
Creating a brand new evolutionary path from scratch is hundreds, thousands of times more challenging than following the paths established by predecessors.
Lin Yuan gathered his thoughts and left the nutrient pod.
In the Dragon-Tiger World, after eighty years, Lin Yuan was undefeated, but there were still many mysteries he hadn’t uncovered.
For instance, the True Martial Sword and the Primordial Demon Spirit.
Why did these ‘upper world’ items fall into the ‘lower world’? Are the ‘upper world’ experts setting up some grand scheme?
But since he has returned, these matters no longer concern Lin Yuan.
"Two hours."
Lin Yuan glanced at the time.
It had only been two hours from when he lay down to traverse until he got up.
To be precise, it was two hours and three minutes.
"It seems the Dragon-Tiger World’s level is indeed higher than the Martial World."
Lin Yuan speculated.
In the Martial World, twenty years equates to merely ten minutes in the main world.
If extended to eighty years, that would be forty minutes.
In terms of time flow, the Dragon-Tiger World’s pace is less than half that of the Martial World.
"There's also the power of the moon and sun on Azure Wave Star."
Lin Yuan walked to the rooftop.
It was nighttime, and Lin Yuan could distinctly feel the power of the moon and sun permeating the surroundings.
Since it was night, there was more moon power than sun power.
"Absorbing bit by bit is too slow, I still need to purchase the corresponding 'spiritual items.'"
Lin Yuan sighed.
He had the realm now, only lacking the energy accumulation.
In the main world, there is no shortage of various types of energy.
If Lin Yuan had the means, he could even go to the surface of a star to train.
The sun power there is so dense it’s almost liquid—just one breath could equal several years of arduous cultivation.
Of course, doing so would require a lot of money.
And Lin Yuan, what he lacked most was money.
With money, Lin Yuan could buy various spiritual items and even purchase several evolution paths from the Universal Human Alliance to refine his own training system.
"Time to upload the path of Taiji again."
Lin Yuan pondered for a moment and made a decision in his heart.
The Universal Human Alliance encourages citizens to develop new evolutionary paths, and the three goddesses even offer resource incentives for it.
After his first traversal, Lin Yuan traded his martial evolution path for five thousand merit points.
He used one thousand of those to upgrade his citizen rank to second class, gaining numerous privileges and becoming indisputably part of the elite class on Azure Wave Star.
The path of Taiji, a continuation of Lin Yuan’s martial evolution system, if uploaded, would definitely prompt the Goddess of Wisdom to reassess it, and he would gain subsequent merit points.
In the Universal Human Alliance, merit points are everything.
To earn them, one must contribute to humanity, and there are many ways to do this.
But for Lin Yuan, the quickest and simplest is only one—upload the path of Taiji.
The Universal Human Alliance’s three goddesses are absolutely impartial and won’t suppress or enslave citizens.
As long as Lin Yuan's path of Taiji proves to have enough value, it would be protected by the three goddesses.
As for whether other citizens practicing it would surpass Lin Yuan...
Even if the Alliance’s cultivation environment far exceeds Dragon-Tiger World, others would need several decades to reach the Heavenly Master level on the martial evolution path.
And over several decades, given Lin Yuan’s eight-month traversal frequency, he’d have gone through dozens of traversals.
The current Heavenly Masters would hardly compare to Lin Yuan, even if they aren’t outright ants in his eyes.
Since decided to upload the path of Taiji, Lin Yuan began translating it into the main world’s language and made slight adjustments.
A few days later.
Lin Yuan organized his gains from the Dragon-Tiger World into two parts.
Heavenly Phenomenon Chapter and Yin-Yang Chapter.
The Yin-Yang Chapter was Lin Yuan’s name for the Heavenly Master level, mastering the moon and sun and combining them.
Once finished, he immediately connected his consciousness to the Goddess of Wisdom.
For ordinary citizens, even connecting to the smallest part of the Goddess of Wisdom requires patiently waiting for several minutes.
But Lin Yuan was a second-class citizen who had contributed to the Human Alliance.
In just an instant, the solemn and cool voice of the Goddess of Wisdom came through.
“Respected second-class citizen Lin Yuan, please state your request.”
“I want to upload the martial evolution path,” Lin Yuan stated directly.
After notifying the Goddess of Wisdom, Lin Yuan uploaded the organized 'Heavenly Phenomenon Chapter' and 'Yin-Yang Chapter.'
As soon as the Goddess of Wisdom received the 'Heavenly Phenomenon Chapter' and 'Yin-Yang Chapter,' in a mysterious space countless light-years away from Azure Wave Star, colossal screens flickered rapidly, evaluating and simulating the value of the 'Heavenly Phenomenon Chapter' and 'Yin-Yang Chapter' with overwhelming computational power.
"Detected 'Heavenly Phenomenon Chapter' involves dual attributes of yin and yang, detected 'Yin-Yang Chapter' involves fusion of extreme power of yin and yang, this evolution path theoretically limits to 'Tier Six.'"
"Potential limit discovered to reach 'Tier Six' evolution path, invoking the ninth charter, initiating contact with the Goddess of Justice. Initiating contact with the Goddess of Liberty."
"Confirmed by three goddesses that this evolution path indeed has potential for reaching 'Tier Six.'"
"Related plan generated, contacting the highest authority on this planet, Planetary Governor Song Wuyang."
At the highest point of Azure Wave Star.
Planetary Governor Song Wuyang ended a conversation with key figures from other planets.
“The planetary arena battle is about to begin. Hopefully, this time a few with third and fourth stage potential will emerge.”
Song Wuyang sighed.
As the planetary governor, he also faces 'performance' pressure.
Every ten years, the Goddess of Wisdom evaluates every detail of what he has done during his governorship.
One criterion is how many evolvers of various levels emerged on Azure Wave Star during this time, and the overall happiness index of all citizens.
The higher the Goddess of Wisdom’s evaluation of him, the greater his rewards will be, mainly in the form of merit points.
Of course, if her evaluation is too low, not only will he not earn merit points, he might be ‘impeached,’ and in severe cases, stripped of his governorship and sent to the highest court for trial.
“I wonder how the creator of the martial evolution path is doing now?”
Thinking about the arena battle led Song Wuyang to think of Lin Yuan.
After all, the martial evolution path had, upon its inception, entered the top hundred of Azure Wave Star’s evolution ranking.
This change in the ranking was the first during Song Wuyang’s term.
“The Goddess of Wisdom protects these path creators so closely, even I, the governor, can't access their information.”
Song Wuyang smirked.
For ordinary second-class citizens, Song Wuyang could access their information as much as he wanted, being a fourth-class citizen.
But Lin Yuan was not only a second-class citizen but also a creator of an evolution path, thus a special individual under the Goddess of Wisdom’s protection.
However, Song Wuyang understood the Goddess of Wisdom's protection.
Throughout the history of the Universal Human Alliance, there have been numerous instances where prodigious seeds were prematurely snuffed out.
These attempts to eliminate the competition might come from enemies, rivals, or aliens.
Thus, the three goddesses decided that anyone deemed a ‘genius’ in the race would receive specific information encryption protection.
Outsiders cannot easily access related information, making such eliminations difficult to achieve.
“Yet the potential limit of the martial evolution system is only the third stage. If it wasn't so widely applicable, the goddesses wouldn’t place such importance on it.”
Song Wuyang shook his head slightly.
When determining the value of an evolution path, potential is one aspect, and applicability is another.
Suddenly.
At that moment, a synthesized electronic voice came.
“Governor Song Wuyang, the Goddess of Wisdom requests a connection.”
“The Goddess of Wisdom seeks me?” Song Wuyang was slightly taken aback.
He had just been thinking about the Goddess of Wisdom, and now she sought him?
“Connect me.”
Song Wuyang nodded.
He also straightened his posture, wanting to make himself a bit more presentable in the Goddess of Wisdom’s eyes.
Though he couldn’t see the Goddess of Wisdom, through various monitoring devices, she could easily observe his every move.
Once Song Wuyang chose to connect to the Goddess of Wisdom.
"The Goddess of Wisdom has connected."
“The Goddess of Liberty has connected.”
“The Goddess of Justice has connected.”
In an instant, the three ultimate intelligent goddesses of the Universal Human Alliance arrived, leaving Song Wuyang, who was thinking of how to communicate with the Goddess of Wisdom, with a tingling scalp.
Wasn't it the Goddess of Wisdom who wanted to talk to him?
Why are all three goddesses here?
Oh my goodness.
What on earth had happened to alarm all three goddesses at once?
