Creating Heavenly Laws

Chapter 136

Rank 5 Evolvers who want to advance to Rank 6 face the most crucial prerequisite achieving complete harmony between their souls and fundamental evolutionary paths.

As long as the soul achieves full harmony, the subsequent breakthrough becomes a matter of course. However, it's easier said than done.

Finding an evolutionary path that aligns with one's own being is no easy task. Sometimes, what appears harmonious in the early stages of cultivation may not remain so in the later stages, perhaps even losing harmony upon reaching Rank 4 or 5.

Conversely, paths that seemed obstructive in the early stages might align with one's being later on.

The Cosmic Human Alliance, in conjunction with the Three Goddesses, encourages citizens to explore and develop new evolutionary paths, even tilting resources in that direction.

Aside from some extremely secretive and unspeakable reason, this is also aimed at providing countless Evolvers with more choices. If one path doesn't align, they can try another, and then another.

With more choices, the number of Rank 6 Evolvers naturally increases, leading to a continuous stream of Rank 7 and 8 Evolvers, forming a virtuous cycle.

As for the extremely secretive and unspeakable reason, it affects the topmost elite of human civilization and even the entire universe.

"The Martial Path Evolution Path was personally created and opened by me. It perfectly aligns with my being, but achieving soul harmony through this path is a colossal challenge for other Evolvers. They may even waste hundreds or thousands of years on it. But for me, it's just a walk in the park."

Lin Yuan breathed a sigh of relief. If he had chosen the Mysterious Yellow Evolution Path as his fundamental path, his progress in achieving soul harmony would have been far inferior.

In fact, Lin Yuan was not suitable for cultivating the Mysterious Yellow Evolution Path at all; he relied entirely on his Unrivaled Insight to cheat.

But advancing in soul harmony wouldn't benefit much from Unrivaled Insight. It's conceivable that if Lin Yuan had chosen the Mysterious Yellow Evolution Path, he wouldn't have even taken the first step.

After finishing his training, Lin Yuan left the main building and went to the estate's grass field, where his parents were leisurely sunbathing. Although there were various entertainment activities in the virtual world, Lin Shoucheng and his wife still preferred reality, occasionally going into the virtual world for fun.

"Oh oh oh oh."

In the sky, a streak of light was flying rapidly. Lin Yuan knew without looking that it was his younger sister, Lin Yi.

Lin Yi had chosen the Psychic Power Evolution Path. This path was widely known, and the prerequisites for training were not very difficult; one only needed psychic power higher than the average person's.

The Psychic Power Evolution Path essentially developed an Evolver's psychic power to interfere with reality. At the first and second rank levels, the attacks of Evolvers on the Psychic Power Evolution Path were mostly psychic in nature using psychic power to control one or more weapons to attack enemies.

Similarly, Evolvers on the Psychic Power Evolution Path were few in number, and those who could achieve "alternate" flight before entering a rank were even fewer. This "alternate" flight involved the Evolver controlling a weapon, standing on it, and then controlling the weapon to fly.

Of course, this kind of flight was far inferior in terms of speed and stability to true flight.

"Let's see how the training goes in the future," Lin Yuan thought to himself.

He had not let Lin Yi cultivate the Martial Path; no matter how much potential it had, it wasn't suitable for everyone.

After exchanging a few words with his family, Lin Yuan returned to the main building's underground training ground.

Just as Lin Yuan was about to continue perfecting the Martial Path Evolution System, the voice of the intelligent assistant suddenly rang out.

"Master."

"Black Prison Ao from the Black Prison Family wants to see you."

"Black Prison Ao?" Lin Yuan sighed inwardly.

After learning from the head of the guard, Hou Ming, about Black Prison Ao's relentless character, Lin Yuan realized that refusing the invitation from the old man in black was not the end of the matter.

"Let's meet," Lin Yuan thought for a moment and decided that it would be best for everyone to meet and discuss matters.

With a robust legal system in place in the Cosmic Human Alliance and the Three Goddesses reigning supreme, as long as Lin Yuan didn't agree, Black Prison Ao wouldn't be able to force him.

In the virtual world, in his personal space, Lin Yuan met Black Prison Ao, the young master of the Black Prison Family.

He was only one meter five tall, but his skin was covered in black patterns, giving him a noble aura.

It was said that the bloodline of the Black Prison Family was not purely human but had some exotic bloodline mixed in.

This phenomenon was common in human civilization, and it was said that mating with powerful exotic races might produce a peerless genius.

"Lin Yuan, my friend," Black Prison Ao greeted warmly.

In order to recruit Lin Yuan and follow the business blueprint formulated by the Black Prison Family's "Think Tank," Black Prison Ao had lowered himself as much as possible.

He longed to return to the family and ascend to the position of clan leader.

Lin Yuan nodded slightly.

The two sat down.

Instead of getting straight to the point, Black Prison Ao diverted the conversation, saying, "Over the years, I've often watched videos of the arena matches and discovered that our human civilization has produced far too many geniuses."

"For example, in the Dark Spirit Star Domain, there emerged a peerless genius who awakened the bloodline of the Dark Elves, with a natural affinity for the rules of darkness."

"Such aptitude, simply cultivating any Dark Path Evolution Path at random, can easily overcome the soul transformation between Rank 5 and 6. And there's a high chance of reaching Rank 7 in the future. It's quite remarkable."

Black Prison Ao said with a smile.

"Indeed, there are too many geniuses in the universe," Lin Yuan agreed, nodding.

Since becoming one of the thirteen peak masters of the Red Kun Lineage, Lin Yuan had been browsing intelligence information from various domains of the universe.

In a vast population base, even the most monstrous geniuses could be born.

However, no matter how high the potential of a genius is, they are still just geniuses, not strong individuals.

Countless geniuses of human civilization are assassinated by alien races every year.

The more talented one is, the more they must endure. Before reaching the sixth rank, they must remain low-key.

"But no matter how talented one is, they still need substantial resources to support them; otherwise, their talent will only go to waste," Black Prison Ao looked at Lin Yuan.

"Yes, talent is important. Resources are also essential," Lin Yuan nodded.

Why is it that human civilization can produce strong individuals? It's because human civilization has always been in an expansionary state, constantly seizing vast resources from other alien races and then feeding them back to their own strong individuals.

"Lin Yuan, you haven't joined any other forces yet, have you? Are you interested in joining my Black Prison Ao's ranks?" Black Prison Ao said, then immediately added, "Lin Yuan, don't rush to refuse."

"For eighty years, as long as you serve me for eighty years," Black Prison Ao said earnestly, "After eighty years, you can leave at any time."

"And during these eighty years, you can enjoy many resources that can make your evolutionary path smooth."

"Lin Yuan, you can view all the evolutionary paths recorded by my Black Prison Family."

"Cosmic treasures? Stellar treasures? And countless evolutionary secrets? Lin Yuan, as long as you say the word, I will collect and purchase them for you."

Black Prison Ao looked sincerely at Lin Yuan.

In reality, most of the conditions he mentioned were empty promises.

Even if Lin Yuan wanted to browse the evolutionary paths of the Black Prison Family, he would have to pay a considerable price, let alone someone like Lin Yuan, an outsider?

But Black Prison Ao couldn't care less about that now.

First, he would bring Lin Yuan under his wing, then sign a contract.

As for browsing the evolutionary paths of the Black Prison Family, did he say he had to wait a long time for that?

And as for serving for eighty years, Black Prison Ao wasn't lying either. Eighty years later, Lin Yuan would be over a hundred years old and wouldn't qualify to participate in the arena fights, and Black Prison Ao wouldn't mind letting him go.

"Serving for eighty years?" Lin Yuan remained expressionless.

After eighty years, he estimated he would have reached the seventh rank. Would he serve a mere Black Prison Family for eighty years?

"I've suppressed the arena fights so much, but I didn't expect Black Prison Ao to still value me and be so persistent," Lin Yuan felt a bit helpless.

He also realized that Black Prison Ao and those influential families and consortia invited him solely because of his performance in the arena fights.

But Black Prison Ao might have noticed that Lin Yuan was hiding some of his strength in the arena fights, which was why he valued him so much and personally extended the invitation.

"Lin Yuan, what do you think?" Black Prison Ao looked at Lin Yuan expectantly.

He believed he had done enough. Not only did he extend the invitation personally, but he also offered more generous conditions, and even reduced the period of service to eighty years.

"Master Ao," Lin Yuan looked at Black Prison Ao, "I'm not interested in the arena fights. There's no need for Master Ao to spend so much effort on this."

"Huh?" Black Prison Ao was a bit stunned.

He rejected it.

Lin Yuan actually refused.

After he showed so much sincerity, Lin Yuan still rejected him?

Black Prison Ao fell into silence.

His previously warm expression quickly turned cold.

He, Black Prison Ao, was not a particularly warm person to begin with. Everything he just did was a facade, to show that he valued Lin Yuan enough.

But since Lin Yuan directly refused, there was no need to continue the facade.

"Lin Yuan, are you sure of your choice?" Black Prison Ao asked again.

"I'm sure," Lin Yuan nodded.

As one of the thirteen peak masters of the Red Kun Lineage, he could not possibly join the Black Prison Family, let alone be under Black Prison Ao's command.

"Good."

Black Prison Ao stood up.

All of his enthusiasm and attention ended up being met with Lin Yuan's unwavering refusal?

This made Black Prison Ao feel like he had misplaced his sincerity.

In terms of the degree of importance, Lin Yuan was not the most important among the two hundred or so evolvers under the Black Prison Family's "think tank."

But he was the first one to directly refuse Black Prison Ao's invitation.

"Average talent, too arrogant," Black Prison Ao looked deeply at Lin Yuan, speaking softly, then disappeared into his personal space.

In the tier where the Black Prison Family was located, someone like Lin Yuan, a fourth rank below a hundred years old, did not have top-notch talent.

Of course, talent had little to do with it.

But Black Prison Ao was annoyed, feeling that compared to talent, Lin Yuan's arrogance was much heavier.

"It seems I've offended him to death," Lin Yuan shook his head slightly.

No wonder, thousands of years ago, the disciple his teacher took ended up revealing his identity voluntarily.

In fact, when faced with Black Prison Ao's final threats just now, Lin Yuan also wanted to directly reveal his identity as one of the thirteen peak masters.

Then he would watch Black Prison Ao squirm in fear, kneel and beg for mercy, and even have Black Prison Ao's family's seven-rank evolver, Black Prison Mo, come and apologize.

But if he did that.

The fate of the disciple his teacher took thousands of years ago might be Lin Yuan's fate in the future.

Being noticed by the alien races, then launching a frenzy of assassination.

"I've been low-key enough," Lin Yuan rubbed his temples.

From the moment he became an evolver to now, reaching the pinnacle of the fifth rank, Lin Yuan had never left the Canglan Star, nor did he stir up trouble whenever possible.

You see, a normal fifth-rank evolver would have traveled through half the galaxy or even several galaxies by now. While fifth-rank evolvers couldn't survive in space, human civilization's technology was advanced enough to allow them to travel through space using spacecraft and battleships.

Even many sixth-rank evolvers traveled primarily by battleships and spacecraft. This was the mainstream mode of transportation in current human civilization.

Yet Lin Yuan hadn't even left his planet.

And despite that, he was still sought out by Black Prison Ao.

If it was just an ordinary invitation from a financial conglomerate, Lin Yuan could refuse it, but Black Prison Ao represented the Black Prison Family, one of the five major powers in the Red Kun Star Domain.

"In fact, even if I refuse Black Prison Ao, it probably won't lead to anything. Even if Black Prison Ao has the courage, he wouldn't dare to act in reality," Lin Yuan thought to himself.

Many laws and regulations in human civilization strictly prohibited high-ranking evolvers from attacking other civilians without cause. If violated, severe punishment would follow. If Black Prison Ao dared to secretly attack Lin Yuan, it would be difficult to escape the investigation of the Three Goddesses afterward.

At that time, even if Black Prison Ao didn't die, he would have to pay a heavy price, possibly even implicating the Black Prison Family.

However...

What if Black Prison Ao really went crazy?

Lin Yuan considered the situation comprehensively.

After realizing that he had completely offended Black Prison Ao.

He began to contact his senior brother.

As for why he didn't seek help from his masterif Lin Yuan had offended Black Prison Mo, the seven-rank evolver of the Black Prison Family, maybe he would ask his master for help.Discover new 𝒔tories at n𝒐velbin(.)c/o𝒎

But Black Prison Ao? It was not worth his master's intervention at all.

The Red Kun Star Lord had already given Lin Yuan enough help. For such a small matter, Lin Yuan didn't want to trouble his old master.

Virtual world.

Lin Yuan entered his senior brother's personal space.

His senior brother was the earliest disciple accepted by the Red Kun Star Lord.

He was also the strongest disciple, having entered the seventh rank long ago and had always been the object of study for the peak masters.

"Junior Brother?"

"Why do you have time to come find me?"

The senior brother spoke gently, looking at Lin Yuan with a hint of joy on his face.

He had accompanied the Red Kun Star Lord for the longest time and naturally understood the Star Lord's importance to Lin Yuan.

In this senior brother's eyes, it was a good thing for Lin Yuan to take the initiative to find him. It could strengthen the relationship between fellow brothers.

"Senior brother, there's something I need your help with," Lin Yuan spoke up.
