**Chapter 382: Just the Beginning (Subscribe)**

**Boom! Boom! Boom!!!**

Tuo Ba Ancient God fled frantically, constantly assaulted by Lin Yuan along the way.

Despite being protected by a miraculous defensive artifact, he was starting to falter.

Each of Lin Yuan's attacks was 99% blocked by the defensive artifact.

But still, a slight impact seeped through.

The term "slight" here refers to the strength of Lin Yuan's full-force strike.

For Tuo Ba Ancient God, even that slight impact caused his internal organs to churn.

Accumulating blow after blow, Tuo Ba Ancient God was eventually dragged into severe injury.

"This monster, which perfect eleventh-order lifeform from the universe is he?" Tuo Ba Ancient God felt extremely aggrieved.

Facing Lin Yuan, he had no ability to resist at all. If not for the protective defensive artifact, he wouldn't have lasted this long.

Being in this two-dimensional world, gaining such power in just over a century, Tuo Ba Ancient God believed only those legendary beings at the pinnacle of the eleventh order could achieve this.

But Tuo Ba Ancient God was puzzled. He had lived for eons, born at the dawn of the universe, and was familiar with most of the slightly stronger eleventh-order beings in the universe.

But Lin Yuan?

Tuo Ba Ancient God was merely puzzled because in this two-dimensional world, unless one actively spoke out, it was hard for outsiders to know their identities in the universe.

The first-ranked 'Four Divine Kings' were recognized because of their distinct characteristics and terrifying strength.

As for other strong beings? They all came from various races and communicated with each other, making it hard to keep secrets.

There were indeed some reclusive powerful beings among the myriad races, but it was rare to see someone as powerful as Lin Yuan who had never shown his face before.

Behind Tuo Ba Ancient God.

Lin Yuan followed closely.

"If it weren't for this two-dimensional world, how long would it take for me to grow to this extent and chase down Tuo Ba Ancient God?"

Lin Yuan felt a slight sentiment. In the two-dimensional world, even the peak eleventh-order beings had their starting points forcibly lowered.

This gave Lin Yuan the chance to surpass Tuo Ba Ancient God, a special lifeform at the eleventh order, in just over a century.

It should be known that any lifeform capable of reaching the eleventh order is a peerless genius, far beyond the strong beings from other dimensional worlds Lin Yuan had previously visited.

"Next, it's time to end this."

Lin Yuan's gaze turned slightly sharp.

Throughout the chase, every strike Lin Yuan landed on Tuo Ba Ancient God was slowly accumulating residual power deep within his body.

Attacking directly through the defensive artifact would take a lot of time to wear the opponent down.

But triggering an internal explosion would be much quicker.

Since the first strike landed on that defensive artifact, Lin Yuan had been preparing for this moment.

"Break."

Lin Yuan launched another strike, his energy boiling, pressing down on Tuo Ba Ancient God like an upheaving seal.

"Again?"

Tuo Ba Ancient God's heart trembled. The residual force from the previous attacks had penetrated the defensive artifact and severely injured him. Now facing Lin Yuan's attack, he felt an instinctual fear.

"But wanting to kill me completely is not an easy task."

Tuo Ba Ancient God steadied his mind. He was only severely injured, still a distance from death. According to his current path, if he could hold out for two more days.

He would reach a stronghold of the Star Alliance.

Then, with the support of the Star Alliance's strong beings, he would be much more at ease.

However—

**Boom!**

This strike hit Tuo Ba Ancient God, landing on the defensive artifact.

In the next moment.

Tuo Ba Ancient God's expression changed drastically.

This strike from Lin Yuan was similar to the previous attacks.

But under the influence of this strike, all the hidden residual force within his body began to erupt.

In an instant, Tuo Ba Ancient God felt his insides churning like a raging sea.

"It's over."

Tuo Ba Ancient God felt despair in his heart.

Then.

Under the convergence of the residual forces within his body, his physical form suddenly exploded, blood splattering.

**Swish.**

Lin Yuan stopped and grabbed with his right hand.

An ordinary-looking inner armor appeared in his hand.

"This is the defensive artifact?"

Lin Yuan's eyes gleamed with slight heat. The strong being Pei Shen, of the same tier as Tuo Ba Ancient God, only lasted a few breaths in Lin Yuan's hands, even while wielding an offensive artifact.

But Tuo Ba Ancient God.

Resisted Lin Yuan's pursuit for half a day.

What was the reason?

Naturally, it was this defensive artifact.

Unlike offensive artifacts, defensive artifacts were far more valuable.

This was especially evident in the two-dimensional world.

Pei Shen's offensive artifact had terrifying killing power, but if it couldn't hit, it was useless.

But a defensive artifact?

It was almost certain to block the majority of Lin Yuan's attacks.

"Hm?"

Lin Yuan put away the inner armor, his expression suddenly changing.

Within Tuo Ba Ancient God's exploded body, under the impact of thousands of residual strikes from Lin Yuan, almost all items were reduced to dust.

Except for the inner armor

and a silver-white mirror.

"This mirror…is also an artifact?"

Lin Yuan picked up the mirror.

There is a very simple way to determine if an item is a rare artifact.

And that is by attacking it.

In this two-dimensional world, very few things can withstand the full force strike of a top-tier warrior. Rare artifacts are among them.

Thinking this, Lin Yuan gripped the silver mirror tightly.

The mirror remained completely unmoved.

"It is indeed a rare artifact."

Lin Yuan felt a surge of joy and put away the silver mirror as well.

"It's time to leave."

Lin Yuan glanced around. After chasing Tuo Ba Ancient God for most of the day, he sensed that other top-tier warriors from various races were cautiously observing from hundreds of miles away.

With a swift movement, Lin Yuan disappeared from the spot.

In the main universe.

In the depths of the starry sky.

Within a secret realm.

Tuo Ba Ancient God's face turned pale, his nearly perfect aura suddenly diminishing.

With the fall of his avatar in the two-dimensional world, Tuo Ba Ancient God's true body was affected, suffering a permanent loss of the mind and will of that avatar.

"Why... why am I so unlucky?" Tuo Ba Ancient God thought angrily.

Their group of six special lifeforms, combined, could sweep through the two-dimensional world, except for the top nine warriors among the myriad races.

And how many of those top nine were there in the entire two-dimensional world? Yet, he happened to encounter one.

"My defensive artifact..." Tuo Ba Ancient God felt heartbroken.

According to his plan, even if his avatar didn't make it out of the two-dimensional world, he could have asked a departing strong warrior to bring out that defensive artifact.

Although this would have cost him dearly, even receiving one percent of the artifact's value would have greatly benefited him.

At the very least, it would have partially compensated for the fundamental loss of mind and will from his avatar's fall.

But now.

The avatar was gone.

The defensive artifact was gone too.

Tuo Ba Ancient God had gained nothing.

However, from start to finish, Tuo Ba Ancient God never thought of seeking revenge against the warrior who killed him.

What a joke?

Revenge?

In the two-dimensional world, without relying on artifacts.

That mysterious warrior could easily kill him.

Tuo Ba Ancient God instinctively believed that in the universe, the true form of that mysterious warrior must also be an extraordinary eleventh-order perfect being.

To seek revenge against such a warrior, unless Tuo Ba Ancient God himself became an ultimate being.

Otherwise, there was no hope at all.

At the same time.

As time passed.

The deaths of the four special lifeforms at Lin Yuan's hands, and the battles involving Pei Shen and Tuo Ba Ancient God, gradually spread among the top-tier warriors of the myriad races through combat videos based on memory replication.

Over a silent lake.

A four-armed man sat on the surface of the lake.

"Four Divine Kings." On the distant shore, several figures stood respectfully.

Facing the Four Divine Kings, both within and outside the two-dimensional world, filled many eleventh-order beings with despair.

The Four Divine Kings were too powerful.

A century ago, the Tianyu clan poured all their strongest warriors into the two-dimensional world in an attempt to kill the Four Divine Kings prematurely.

But they failed.

Not only did they fail, but the entire Tianyu clan was nearly destroyed.

As a result, the once-proud Tianyu clan within the two-dimensional world fell into decline.

This once-peak race lost their qualification to leave when the Heavenly Gate opens in two to three hundred years.

"That mysterious warrior killed Tuo Ba Ancient God, Pei Shen, and other special beings, all of whom had joined our Star Alliance," said a tall man on the shore cautiously.

"What? You want me to fight that mysterious warrior?" The Four Divine Kings opened their eyes, their tone icy.

"Let's just drop this matter."

The Four Divine Kings glanced at the figures on the shore, "I've watched the battle video of that mysterious warrior. His strength is not much weaker than mine."

"Now that he has both defensive and offensive artifacts, even if I go all out, I might not be able to kill him."

After a brief pause, the Four Divine Kings continued, "There are still two hundred years until the Heavenly Gate opens. I need to use all this time to cultivate and break through. Don't bother me with anything else."

"Yes."

The figures on the shore were shocked.

Even the Four Divine Kings were not confident in killing that mysterious warrior?

"And one more thing."

"If you encounter that mysterious warrior, make sure to keep your distance," the Four Divine Kings reminded before closing their eyes again.

Inside a volcano.

Beside the boiling lava, a small, frail old man sat.

"Hmm?"

"I wonder which old friend this powerful being could be," the old man murmured after watching Lin Yuan's battle video, a contemplative look on his face.

Battles in the two-dimensional world were vastly different from those in the main universe, making it difficult to identify a warrior's true identity based on their combat style alone.

However, the strength Lin Yuan displayed earned the old man's recognition, leading him to believe Lin Yuan was also a legendary eleventh-order perfect being.

"Well."

"It's been a long time. Perhaps it's time for me to go out, show myself, and collect some artifacts for fun?"

Having made up his mind, the old man stood up and left the volcano.

Deep underground.

After killing Tuo Ba Ancient God and the other special beings, Lin Yuan did not immediately return to the Luochuan settlement.

Instead, he hid there, starting to inventory his gains.

"This mirror?"

Lin Yuan flipped his right hand, and the silver mirror appeared.

The mirror was entirely silver, with a faint flow of mysterious energy.

"What is this?"

Lin Yuan carefully observed, his expression subtly changing.

(End of chapter)

Chapter 383: New Ranking

The silver mirror looked quite ordinary. In the two-dimensional world, even twelve-star treasures and weapons were suppressed.

They could only exhibit a fraction of their true nature.

The bronze compass Lin Yuan owned, the armor from Tuo Ba Ancient God, and the black iron rod from Pei Shen were all similar.

But after careful examination, Lin Yuan sensed a vast spatial fluctuation within the silver mirror.

"Space?"

Lin Yuan's expression grew serious. The extent of spatial fluctuation in this two-dimensional world would be astounding in the main universe.

"This mirror is quite unusual."

Lin Yuan thought to himself.

"But what is its purpose?"

Lin Yuan tried various methods, including using his blood, but found nothing.

"Tuo Ba Ancient God likely obtained this mirror not long ago," Lin Yuan speculated.

During his lengthy pursuit of Tuo Ba Ancient God, the latter desperately fled but never used the mirror.

This suggested that Tuo Ba Ancient God also did not know the mirror's capabilities. Otherwise, in a life-and-death situation, he would have used any means to survive.

"Take it slow."

"Even if I can't figure it out here."

"Once I take it out, I can surely understand it."

The silver mirror was suppressed in the two-dimensional world, preventing many of its functions from manifesting.

As long as Lin Yuan could take it out, all problems would naturally be solved.

Even if Lin Yuan couldn't figure it out, he could consult the spirit of the Xuanhuang Secret Realm or the humanoid statue Shen Ji in the Mo Yu Space.

With this in mind, Lin Yuan carefully put away the silver mirror and took out Tuo Ba Ancient God's armor.

The armor was very light. When Lin Yuan wore it, he felt a protective force enveloping his limbs and torso.

Wearing the armor, any attack on Lin Yuan would be blocked by the armor itself, and even residual force would be dispersed.

"No wonder Tuo Ba Ancient God was so hard to kill." A smile appeared on Lin Yuan's face.

Wearing this armor maximized his defense capabilities.

"If I could take this armor to the outside world, who knows what its power would be?" Lin Yuan thought excitedly.

Among all types of weapons, defensive ones were far more precious than offensive ones. After all, survival always comes first.

"The only drawback is that the head is not protected." Lin Yuan shook his head slightly.

The armor only covered the limbs and torso, leaving the head exposed unless paired with a matching helmet.

In this two-dimensional world, there was no concept of regenerating a severed head. If the head was destroyed, even the strongest would die.

Of course, the head being a critical area, every strong being would naturally protect it. Tuo Ba Ancient God had guarded his head carefully when fleeing from Lin Yuan.

Moreover, while the head is a vital point, it also has the hardest bones. Strong beings who refine their bodies pay special attention to bone strengthening.

Breaking the head and skull directly is extremely difficult for beings of the same level.

"There is still the issue of penetrating force," Lin Yuan thought. He had killed Tuo Ba Ancient God by allowing the penetrating force to build up within the body before finally exploding.

"This silver mirror can serve as a heart-protecting mirror."

Lin Yuan placed the mirror on his chest.

Although he hadn't figured out the mirror's function, its extreme hardness made it an excellent protective layer. This was a common trait of all "treasures" in the two-dimensional world.

With the silver mirror as a second layer of defense, his heart was better protected than other parts of his body.

Given Lin Yuan's mastery of the 'Evergreen' cultivation method, as long as his heart and head weren't fatally damaged, he could recover from other injuries.

"The iron rod."

Lin Yuan, having equipped the armor and heart-protecting mirror, turned to the black iron rod.

The iron rod's ability was simple: enhancing power. The same strike, when wielding the iron rod, would increase in power two to three times.

This increase might seem small, but in the two-dimensional world, enhancing power was extremely difficult. A two to three times increase could significantly elevate a strong being's abilities.

"It's too big and too conspicuous."

Lin Yuan thought, stroking the iron rod.

Compared to the 'compactness' of the armor and mirror, the nearly two-meter-long iron rod was hard to hide and very noticeable.

This inability to refine treasures into more portable forms was a limitation of the two-dimensional world. Otherwise, changing their size at will would be a basic function.

"Being big doesn't matter."

Lin Yuan thought for a moment. The iron rod directly enhanced his combat strength.

As for the armor? Unless he was in a desperate situation, Lin Yuan didn't think he would need to use it often.

The armor was a means to boost his survival ability, but in this world, few beings could force Lin Yuan into a life-or-death struggle.

And as time passed, Lin Yuan's strength would increase rapidly, making such threats increasingly rare.

"This time, I made a huge profit."

Lin Yuan concluded, summarizing the gains from his recent actions.

Firstly, revenge was taken by causing Tuo Ba Ancient God to lose a significant part of his spiritual willpower.

Tuo Ba Ancient God, being a special lifeform of the eleventh tier, fifth rank, already had a minimal chance of reaching the ultimate level. Now, with part of his spiritual willpower lost, it was almost impossible for him to achieve this.

It wasn't that he couldn't attempt the breakthrough, but doing so would mean certain death, with almost no hope of success.

By severing Tuo Ba Ancient God's future path, Lin Yuan avenged the grievances he had suffered before.

His friend Fang Qing had also died at the hands of Tuo Ba Ancient God. Although he was resurrected by a supreme being, the enmity remained.

If Lin Yuan had the ability, he naturally wouldn't let Tuo Ba Ancient God off.

Additionally, the three treasures he acquired significantly enhanced his overall strength.

With improvements in defense, offense, and the predictive power from the bronze compass, Lin Yuan became a well-rounded warrior with no weaknesses.

If he could unlock the capabilities of the silver mirror and utilize spatial techniques, Lin Yuan could roam freely in the two-dimensional world.

Moreover, these gains weren't limited to the two-dimensional world. If Lin Yuan successfully returned to the main universe, the value of these gains would multiply tremendously.

Three treasures, equivalent to three twelve-star treasures and weapons, made Lin Yuan's heart race with excitement.

"Continue cultivating."

"I can feel that the nineteenth level of the Wu Zu is near."

Lin Yuan thought to himself. He had been at the eighteenth level of the Wu Zu for some time and had many insights into the nineteenth level.

In the virtual world.

Vice-Tower Master Nalan promptly contacted Lin Yuan to inform him about major events in the two-dimensional world.

This was something Lin Yuan had requested since he had been hiding in the Luochuan gathering place for a long time, far from the core of the two-dimensional world, and lacked information.

So, he asked Vice-Tower Master Nalan for updates.

Although Lin Yuan was confident in his extraordinary talent, surpassing other legendary beings of the eleventh tier, he wasn't arrogant enough to ignore everything.

"Major events, major events."

Vice-Tower Master Nalan's expression was serious. As soon as he saw Lin Yuan, he quickly said, "A mysterious powerhouse comparable to the nine strongest beings has emerged in the Blood Rain Kingdom."

The Blood Rain Kingdom was quite inconspicuous among the twelve ancient kingdoms. Although many strong beings were scattered there, no notable powerhouses had ever appeared.

This was why Tuo Ba Ancient God and other special beings targeted the Blood Rain Kingdom.

They aimed for the weakest target.

However, this time, Tuo Ba Ancient God and his group suffered a major setback.

"The mysterious powerhouse from the Blood Rain Kingdom is terrifyingly strong. With bare hands, he killed Tuo Ba Ancient God and Pei Shen, both of whom wielded treasures."

Vice-Tower Master Nalan was amazed. Despite being in the eleventh tier himself, he was far inferior to Tuo Ba Ancient God and Pei Shen. Encountering them in the two-dimensional world meant he might not even be able to escape.

Lin Yuan listened quietly. He was the mysterious powerhouse Nalan was talking about, but he didn't plan to reveal this publicly for now.

There was no benefit, and it would only attract unwanted attention.

"Many strong beings who fell into the two-dimensional world are still hiding and cultivating. The Four God Kings and the nine strongest beings are only a part of them."

Vice-Tower Master Nalan said with emotion. Over the past hundred years, he had witnessed the power of the Four God Kings and the nine strongest beings, as well as the recent battle involving the mysterious powerhouse from the Blood Rain Kingdom.

Vice-Tower Master Nalan had almost given up the idea of leaving the two-dimensional world with a clone.

"What a joke. Competing against the Four God Kings and the mysterious powerhouse from the Blood Rain Kingdom to leave the two-dimensional world? What could I possibly use to compete with those monsters?"

"Indeed, many strong beings are hiding in the shadows." Lin Yuan nodded slightly.

Among those who fell into the two-dimensional world, many shared Lin Yuan's strategy of intense cultivation until the Heavenly Gate opened.

"However, even with many strong beings in hiding, the Four God Kings and the mysterious powerhouse are undoubtedly the strongest in the two-dimensional world."

Vice-Tower Master Nalan continued.

Revealing one's identity early didn't mean they were weaker than those hiding; it was simply a different approach.

"What rank is the mysterious powerhouse among the strongest in the two-dimensional world?" Lin Yuan was curious about his own standing.

"I knew you'd ask that." Vice-Tower Master Nalan smiled.

He wasn't surprised by Lin Yuan's question. In fact, most strong beings in the two-dimensional world were curious about the mysterious powerhouse from the Blood Rain Kingdom.

Such a figure, unknown before, who made a grand entrance with overwhelming strength, naturally aroused curiosity.

"According to the latest ranking, the mysterious powerhouse is currently ranked sixth." Vice-Tower Master Nalan displayed a virtual screen in front of Lin Yuan.

"Sixth?" Lin Yuan glanced at it.

"Yes." Vice-Tower Master Nalan nodded. "Actually, I think this mysterious powerhouse's ranking could be higher. He's only fought once and never against any of the top nine. The ranking is based solely on his overwhelming victory over Tuo Ba Ancient God and other special beings."

The rankings in the two-dimensional world considered many factors.

Many strong beings had undergone numerous battles, fully showcasing their strength, making their rankings more accurate.

But the mysterious powerhouse from the Blood Rain Kingdom had only one battle on record, making his ranking somewhat conservative.

Even so, being ranked sixth showed the impact of that battle.

"Four God Kings?" Lin Yuan glanced at the rankings, noting that the first place was still held by one of the Four God Kings.

The ranking of powerful beings from all races has been published for over a hundred years. The top nine from the earliest list are quite different from the current top nine, almost completely changed.

Only the Four God Kings have maintained the number one position since the ranking was first released, never wavering.

The most famous battle of the Four God Kings was the one where they swept through the Tianyu Clan, a peak race that was utterly defeated.

That battle established the Four God Kings' reputation, significantly impacting the outside world and almost causing a few ancestors of the Tianyu Clan to lose control.

"The Four God Kings are immensely strong," said Vice-Tower Master Nalan. "And the Four God Kings are different from us."

"Different?" Lin Yuan was slightly curious.

He knew little about the Four God Kings, a legendary eleventh-tier, perfect being from the Starry Sky Alliance, and one of the most promising candidates to reach the ultimate level in the contemporary universe.

"I recently heard about this," Vice-Tower Master Nalan began. "When we, strong beings, whether human evolvers or other alien strong beings, fall into the two-dimensional world, our forms are downgraded to resemble the mainstream humans of that world."

"Indeed," Lin Yuan nodded.

Some special beings, whose original forms could span tens or hundreds of thousands of miles, were compressed to a size between one and three meters upon entering the two-dimensional world, with their shapes adjusted accordingly.

"We won't appear with any strange shapes."

"Do you know why the Four God Kings have four arms?" Vice-Tower Master Nalan asked.

"Four arms?" Lin Yuan looked at Vice-Tower Master Nalan.

"All beings from various races, upon entering the two-dimensional world, conform to the mainstream human form of that world: one head, two legs, two arms, two eyes, one nose, and one mouth."

"But the Four God Kings have four arms."

"Could it be?" Lin Yuan had a hunch.

"The extra two arms of the Four God Kings are supreme weapons, and these weapons are integrated into their bodies."

"Even in the two-dimensional world, the spiritual power of supreme weapons can't be completely suppressed, allowing the Four God Kings to have four arms."

"I see," Lin Yuan understood.

When he first saw that the Four God Kings had four arms, he was puzzled but didn't think much of it, assuming the extra arms were an anomaly.

"So, the Four God Kings are different from us. Their strength comes not only from their inherent power but also from the addition of supreme weapons."

Vice-Tower Master Nalan explained that the supreme weapons of the Four God Kings were fully compatible with them. These weapons were not found in the two-dimensional world but brought from the outside.

A weapon perfectly suited to its wielder could exert far more power than other strong beings could imagine. This explained why the Four God Kings had maintained their top rank for over a century without further action beyond their initial conquest of the Tianyu Clan.

"No wonder," Lin Yuan felt pressured.

With two hundred years remaining until the Heavenly Gate opened, could he surpass the Four God Kings, who had a perfectly matched supreme weapon?

"A hundred years ago, the Tianyu Clan, realizing this, made a desperate attempt to kill the Four God Kings while they were still weak."

"That battle involved not just the Tianyu Clan but also other peak races behind the scenes."

Vice-Tower Master Nalan revealed that even a few supreme beings from human civilization had considered taking advantage of the situation to kill the Four God Kings.

But the defeat of the Tianyu Clan disheartened them, and they refrained from further action.

"In the new ranking, the mysterious powerhouse from the Blood Rain Kingdom has climbed to sixth place, while the 'Hou Zhu' from the Yu Clan has dropped to tenth," Vice-Tower Master Nalan noted the changes.

The 'Hou Zhu' of the Yu Clan, an ordinary eleventh-tier being, had held a top-nine position for over a century thanks to his blood-red long knife.

In a desolate desert within the two-dimensional world, a man holding a blood-red long knife sat alone.

"My ranking has fallen to tenth, indicating I'm no longer in the first tier of power." This man was the 'Hou Zhu' of the Yu Clan.

"The outside world believes I became one of the top nine purely by luck, relying on this extraordinary weapon."

The 'Hou Zhu' mused silently.

The Four God Kings also had supreme weapons, but other strong beings acknowledged their power.

Even without the weapon, the Four God Kings would still be legendary eleventh-tier beings. Their supreme weapon came from the Starry Sky Alliance, not from the two-dimensional world.

But the 'Hou Zhu'? He was considered lucky. Without the blood-red long knife, he was nothing.

This perception led to frequent rumors about the 'Hou Zhu' among the top nine.

Now, having fallen out of the top nine, he anticipated more ridicule.

"Hmph, over the years, I've dedicated myself entirely to mastering the blood-red long knife and have developed nine major killing techniques."

The 'Hou Zhu' smirked, recognizing the terrifying potential of his weapon, which surpassed his expectations and filled him with dread.

"Just wait."

"In two hundred years, when the Heavenly Gate opens, I will show you my true strength."

The 'Hou Zhu' took a deep breath. As an eleventh-tier being, he understood the need for patience. All the powerful beings who fell into the two-dimensional world had one goal: the opening of the Heavenly Gate.

And he was waiting for that day.

### Chapter 384: The Silent Supreme Being Xia Qin

#### Virtual World

Vice-Tower Master Nalan curiously asked, "Galactic Lord, have you entered the Wu Ancestor stage in the two-dimensional world?"

Lin Yuan, known as the most talented genius in human civilization's history, had unquestionable aptitude and comprehension abilities. Vice-Tower Master Nalan was almost certain that Lin Yuan had already become a Wu Ancestor. 

It should be noted that, in the hundred years spent in the two-dimensional world, many tenth-tier beings had only just reached the Wu Ancestor stage. Initially, when entering the two-dimensional world, beings of the eighth, ninth, tenth, and eleventh tiers all started at the same level. However, as time passed, the differences between them grew, and the gaps widened.

"Yes," Lin Yuan nodded. Wu Ancestor stage eighteen was also within the Wu Ancestor stage.

"In that case, our eleventh-tier human evolvers have compiled seventeen post-Wu Ancestor cultivation methods. I'll send them to you for reference."

Vice-Tower Master Nalan immediately sent the information to Lin Yuan.

In the two-dimensional world, with special beings rampant and human civilization relatively weak, it was crucial for humans to stick together. Sharing cultivation methods was common practice. Ultimately, when the Heavenly Gate opened, if the majority of those who left the two-dimensional world were human evolvers, human civilization would be considered victorious.

However, looking at the current situation, this hope was not very high. Not to mention those hidden in the shadows, like the mysterious powerhouse from the Blood Rain Kingdom, the Four God Kings alone seemed almost certain to secure a spot when the Heavenly Gate first opened.

"Thank you."

Lin Yuan glanced at the cultivation methods sent by Vice-Tower Master Nalan, pondering deeply.

The evolutionists who developed these post-Wu Ancestor cultivation methods were primarily eleventh-tier beings of human civilization, each a prodigy of their era. Their exploratory cultivation methods provided significant insights for Lin Yuan, much more than those of the native Wu Ancestors of the two-dimensional world.

"However, my cultivation method might not be suitable for you all," Lin Yuan hesitated as he spoke to Vice-Tower Master Nalan.

Lin Yuan's cultivation method, created based on his extraordinary comprehension and his unique conditions, fully exploited every potential of the physical body at each stage. However, its drawback was that it was tailored specifically to Lin Yuan himself, making it difficult for others to emulate.

In fact, the over a dozen post-Wu Ancestor cultivation methods compiled by Vice-Tower Master Nalan were also results of the unique explorations by various eleventh-tier human evolvers. They were not universal either. But Lin Yuan's exceptional comprehension allowed him to discern the fundamental directions of these cultivation methods.

"No worries."

Vice-Tower Master Nalan shook his head. While Lin Yuan was the greatest genius in human civilization's history, he was still only a tenth-tier being. Compared to eleventh-tier evolvers, his perspective was narrower and closer.

"After the Heavenly Gate opens this time, I'll compile some cultivation methods specifically for you all," Lin Yuan said after a moment of thought.

For now, his primary focus was to enhance his own strength as much as possible before the Heavenly Gate opened in two hundred years. Spending significant time creating cultivation methods suitable for other human evolvers would deviate from his main goal. This task could wait until after the two hundred years had passed, when Lin Yuan would likely have more time.

#### Deep Underground

Lin Yuan sat cross-legged, his aura like a deep abyss, simmering faintly.

At a certain moment, Lin Yuan seemed like an unyielding rock, emitting no aura. Then, like a tsunami, a terrifying surge of vitality spread in all directions.

Had he not been underground, the resulting impact would have likely alerted all the powerful beings within a radius of thousands of miles.

"Wu Ancestor stage nineteen..."

Lin Yuan slowly opened his eyes, a smile appearing on his face.

After studying the cultivation paths explored by other eleventh-tier human evolvers, Lin Yuan's own accumulation had finally reached a qualitative change, advancing to Wu Ancestor stage nineteen.

"My current strength is sixty percent stronger than at Wu Ancestor stage eighteen. If I were to hunt down Tuoba the Ancient God again, it would only take two hours to kill him through the protective artifact."

Lin Yuan felt the surge of power within him, satisfied with his progress.

"I wonder what the current strength of the Four God Kings is?"

Lin Yuan pondered silently. With the Four God Kings possessing supreme weapons perfectly suited to them, their ability to comprehend the power of this world likely far surpassed that of other powerful beings.

"It's time to return."

Lin Yuan stood up and left the underground depths, heading back to the Luochuan gathering place.

#### Luochuan Gathering Place

Charan Valley stood there respectfully.

"Master."

Charan Valley spoke respectfully.

Just moments ago, Charan Valley received new information from the Blood Rain Tavern. The source of the battle marks spreading across the Blood Rain Kingdom had been completely resolved. According to the Blood Rain Tavern, a super powerful being within the Blood Rain Kingdom had intervened and subdued the powerful group responsible for the slaughter.

The Blood Rain Tavern had no information about this super powerful being, but Charan Valley vaguely suspected that it might be related to Lin Yuan. After all, the timing of the battle coincided with Lin Yuan's disappearance. Additionally, the incident occurred after Charan Valley had informed Lin Yuan about it.

Thinking about the terrifying traces left on the battlefield described in the intelligence from the Blood Rain Tavern, Charan Valley couldn't help but shudder. Could such power truly belong to a human?

"I will continue my retreat," Lin Yuan said. "Do not disturb me unless it's something major."

Lin Yuan glanced at Charan Valley as he instructed him. The changes in Charan Valley's emotions were as clear as day to Lin Yuan, but he didn't care. Even if it was revealed that the mysterious powerhouse from the Blood Rain Kingdom was him, it wouldn't matter. His current identity in the Luochuan gathering place had no connection to his main universe identity as the Galactic Lord. Exposure wouldn't be a problem, and Lin Yuan didn't think Charan Valley would dare spread his suspicions.

In a world where reality and illusion intertwined, nine formidable presences emerged, forming nine towering figures—these were the supreme beings of human civilization.

"Using our human civilization's treasure, 'Virtual Realm World,' to replicate that two-dimensional world—even if it's only ten or twenty percent similar—will be enough for us to deduce cultivation methods," said the supreme being Yu Die.

The 'white paper' from the Taixuan Ruins was unfathomable. Even supreme beings didn't dare let it draw them into that two-dimensional world. However, while they couldn't risk entering personally, they had other means.

Human civilization could use the 'Virtual Realm World' to simulate the two-dimensional world within the white paper. Supreme beings could then enter and grasp the essence of its power. 'Virtual Realm World,' one of the cornerstones of human civilization, could replicate even the myriad rules of the main universe.

Although the two-dimensional world within the white paper was well-contained, leaking little of its essence, the 'Virtual Realm World' could still create a replica from these minimal hints. The simulated two-dimensional world wouldn't match the true one closely—only ten or twenty percent—but it was sufficient.

Supreme beings could freely enter this simulated world. From their ultimate perspective, even a one percent similarity could reveal many insights.

"Hmph," another supreme being said, "That old monster from the Stellar Alliance integrated a supreme weapon into the Four God Kings, making him nearly invincible in the two-dimensional world. Now, we use the 'Virtual Realm World' to deduce cultivation methods for our human civilization's evolvers. So far, we've successfully deduced cultivation methods up to Wu Ancestor stage sixteen."

The supreme being Xu Shen smiled. The cultivation methods they deduced had no limitations and should significantly aid human evolvers in the two-dimensional world. At the very least, they could serve as a 'guiding light,' accelerating the cultivation speed of human civilization's evolvers.

"Alright, I need to return and instruct the younger generations," said the supreme being Xia Qin before disappearing.

The remaining supreme beings exchanged glances and gradually vanished.

#### Galactic Main Star

Lin Yuan sat cross-legged.

"Hmm?"

"Supreme Xia Qin wants to see me?"

Lin Yuan opened his eyes, slightly surprised. For the past century, Supreme Xia Qin had been preoccupied with something and rarely contacted him.

"It must be something important."

Lin Yuan immediately connected to the virtual world, entering Supreme Xia Qin's personal realm.

"Supreme one," Lin Yuan bowed to the seated Supreme Xia Qin.

"Lin Yuan," Supreme Xia Qin smiled at Lin Yuan, "How is your cultivation going in the two-dimensional world?"

"Not bad," Lin Yuan replied. 

In just over a hundred years, Lin Yuan had caught up with the legendary beings at the peak of the eleventh stage, which was indeed impressive. It's worth noting that those who could reach the peak of the eleventh stage were exceptionally gifted, unique beings in the vast universe.

"Next, I will explain the subsequent cultivation methods for the Wu Ancestor stage," Supreme Xia Qin got straight to the point.

"The subsequent cultivation methods for the Wu Ancestor stage?" Lin Yuan was slightly taken aback, but then looked forward to it. He wasn't sure how a supreme being could deduce these methods without experiencing the essence of power in the two-dimensional world firsthand, but since Supreme Xia Qin mentioned it, he must be confident.

"Starting from the first stage of the Wu Ancestor period..."

Supreme Xia Qin quickly explained the cultivation methods from the first to the sixth stages.

"How is it?" Supreme Xia Qin asked, looking at Lin Yuan.

"Can you go a bit deeper?" Lin Yuan pondered for a moment. Although the first to sixth stages provided some insights, they weren't substantial enough since he had already reached the nineteenth stage of the Wu Ancestor period. The methods compiled by Deputy Tower Master Nalan had helped him break through to the nineteenth stage because he was on the verge of a breakthrough. Even without those methods, he would have soon reached the nineteenth stage.

"Deeper?" Supreme Xia Qin was taken aback but continued to explain the methods from the seventh to the fourteenth stages.

"A bit deeper," Lin Yuan said solemnly. The seventh to the fourteenth stages had indeed enlightened him significantly, but it still wasn't enough.

"Deeper?" Supreme Xia Qin's eyebrows twitched. Even the fourteenth stage wasn't deep enough? However, since Lin Yuan wanted more depth, he continued without hesitation, explaining the fundamental essence of power up to the sixteenth stage.

"Can you go even deeper?" Lin Yuan asked, now with a glimmer of understanding.

"Even deeper?" Supreme Xia Qin couldn't help but ask, "What level of cultivation methods are you looking for?"

"What level?" Lin Yuan looked at Supreme Xia Qin, "Do you have methods for the twentieth stage of the Wu Ancestor period?"

"The twentieth stage of the Wu Ancestor period?"

Supreme Xia Qin was bewildered, scrutinizing Lin Yuan for a while before falling silent.

Chapter 385: The Resolute Supreme Being (Subscription Request)

Supreme Xia Qin looked at Lin Yuan, his mind racing.

As a twelfth-level life form, Xia Qin's thought processes were incredibly fast. In just an instant, he deduced many possible reasons and scenarios for Lin Yuan's inquiry about the twentieth stage of the Wu Ancestor period.

The most straightforward explanation would be that Lin Yuan had already reached the nineteenth stage of the Wu Ancestor period. Wanting to understand the intricacies of the twentieth stage would be perfectly reasonable in that case.

But this explanation seemed too far-fetched. The nineteenth stage of the Wu Ancestor period? Even among the legendary beings in the two-dimensional world who had reached the peak of the eleventh stage, reaching this level was uncertain. Lin Yuan was only a tenth-level life form; no matter how extraordinary, there should be limits.

Apart from this possibility, Xia Qin also considered other potential reasons. Lin Yuan might want to explore further, understand the concept of the twentieth stage of the Wu Ancestor period, or simply be curious.

"How many stages of the Wu Ancestor period have you reached now?" Xia Qin couldn't help but ask after a moment of silence.

The two-dimensional world inside the blank paper could block the perception of even a supreme being like Xia Qin. So, despite being a supreme being, Xia Qin couldn't determine Lin Yuan's exact level at the moment.

"I'm currently..." Lin Yuan thought for a moment, not hiding anything. "At the nineteenth stage."

Facing the supreme being of his own clan, Lin Yuan didn't see a need to hide. In the two-dimensional world, only by accurately stating his own strength could he receive guidance from Supreme Xia Qin.

Lin Yuan still had great respect for the supreme beings. Any life form that could become a supreme being was undoubtedly extremely resilient. Relying solely on talent and aptitude wasn't enough to become the ultimate existence.

"Really, the nineteenth stage of the Wu Ancestor period?" Xia Qin looked at Lin Yuan, even though he had anticipated it.

But hearing Lin Yuan confirm it verbally still shocked Xia Qin.

The nine supreme beings had joined forces to replicate the two-dimensional world using the 'Virtual World,' spending nearly a hundred years deducing the generalized cultivation methods from the first to the sixteenth stages of the Wu Ancestor period. And now, Lin Yuan had reached the nineteenth stage on his own?

Admittedly, the two-dimensional world created by the Virtual World only bore about ten to twenty percent resemblance to the original. And while the cultivation methods deduced by the nine supreme beings weren't limited to any particular individual, achieving widespread dissemination was more challenging.

However, they were still supreme beings! The ultimate existence! Twelfth-level life forms!

The vision and insight of a supreme being far exceeded that of an eleventh-level life form, let alone Lin Yuan, who was only tenth level. In this case, it was understandable for those legendary beings who had reached the eighteenth or nineteenth stages of the Wu Ancestor period in the two-dimensional world, but Lin Yuan?

"You?" Xia Qin sighed. "You really surprised me."

Originally, when one of Lin Yuan's avatars fell into the two-dimensional world, Xia Qin was extremely worried, fearing it might affect Lin Yuan's hope of reaching the ultimate level.

The nine supreme beings of the human civilization had used the 'Virtual World' to replicate the two-dimensional world, a costly endeavor. Nevertheless, Xia Qin insisted on it, worried that Lin Yuan's avatar might be seriously affected in the two-dimensional world.

But now, Xia Qin's worries seemed unnecessary. If Lin Yuan did possess the strength of the nineteenth stage of the Wu Ancestor period, he would thrive in the two-dimensional world.

"I only barely reached the nineteenth stage of the Wu Ancestor period not long ago," Lin Yuan immediately responded.

"Not long ago?"

"And barely?" Xia Qin glanced at Lin Yuan.

"You reaching the nineteenth stage of the Wu Ancestor period in such a short time means that my human civilization doesn't need to actively seek help from the Four God Kings of the Cosmic Union," Xia Qin said with a smile.

"Seek help from the Cosmic Union?" Lin Yuan was slightly puzzled.

The Cosmic Union was an alliance formed by many special life forms in the universe, on par with pinnacle groups like the human civilization.

"We don't need to seek help from the Cosmic Union to bring out those special items from the two-dimensional world," Xia Qin explained. "So far, the Four God Kings of the Cosmic Union are the most likely beings to return to the cosmic sky through the Heavenly Gate."

"In the two-dimensional world, the special items obtained by our human civilization's evolutionists can only be brought out with the help of the Four God Kings."

Xia Qin clarified that those special items could only unleash their full potential if brought out of the two-dimensional world.

However, human civilization's evolutionists weren't dominant in the two-dimensional world. At least in the current situation, they couldn't compete with strong beings like the Four God Kings for access to the Heavenly Gate.

But now that Xia Qin knew Lin Yuan's strength, hope surged in his heart. With Lin Yuan's current level, even if he wasn't a match for the Four God Kings, he could definitely aim to enter the Heavenly Gate in the next opportunity.

"I see."

Lin Yuan nodded.

Seeking help from the Cosmic Union, especially from the Four God Kings, would undoubtedly come at a greater cost, as it involved requests. But human civilization had no other choice, considering how the advantages of special life forms in the two-dimensional world were magnified.

Not only human civilization but also peak groups like the insect race and the Sky Wing race faced difficulty competing with special life forms like those in the Cosmic Union in the two-dimensional world.

"Of course, if you can use the Heavenly Gate to leave the two-dimensional world and bring out those special items from our human civilization, you will definitely not leave empty-handed. Each item will be divided according to its value, with fifty percent going to you," Xia Qin said immediately.

Giving away fifty percent of the value of the items brought out seemed extravagant.

However, if those items weren't brought out, it would mean no gain for human civilization. Besides, this fifty percent wasn't going to the Cosmic Union but to their own people. Xia Qin was quite willing to offer it.

"No problem."

Lin Yuan agreed immediately.

This was essentially a free benefit.

"But I'm not sure if I can enter the Heavenly Gate," Lin Yuan hesitated.

"With your cultivation speed, as long as you avoid the Four God Kings and focus on the second or third opening of the Heavenly Gate, the hope is still great," Xia Qin said.

"Avoid the Four God Kings?" Lin Yuan's heart stirred. Whether in the two-dimensional world or the main universe, the reputation of the Four God Kings was immense.

"Yes, the supreme weapon of the Four God Kings is perfectly suited to them. Even if your level surpasses theirs, your comprehensive combat strength remains uncertain," Xia Qin shook his head.

"Your potential and cultivation speed don't need to compete with the Four God Kings. The risk is too great," Xia Qin advised.

"Understood."

Lin Yuan's thoughts coincided with those of Supreme Xia Qin.

Unless he had absolute certainty, Lin Yuan wouldn't risk competing for a spot in the first opening of the Heavenly Gate.

Time was on Lin Yuan's side. The longer it passed, the greater the advantage brought by his extraordinary comprehension.

In just over a hundred years, Lin Yuan was about to catch up with those legendary beings who had reached the peak of the eleventh level. Another ten thousand years, and Lin Yuan himself didn't know what level he would reach.

"Oh, right."

"Now that you've reached the nineteenth stage of the Wu Ancestor period, the cultivation methods we deduced are not of much use to you. However, you can contemplate the essence of the power captured through the 'Virtual World' and the replication of the two-dimensional world," Xia Qin, said, explaining that the essence of the power captured through the 'Virtual World' formed the basis for the cultivation methods deduced by the nine supreme beings.

Originally, even if such essence of power was placed before tenth or eleventh-level life forms, they wouldn't comprehend much. But seeing Lin Yuan's performance, Xia Qin had a different view.

Anyway, it wouldn't hurt to let Lin Yuan contemplate it. There wouldn't be any loss.

"The essence of power?" Lin Yuan's eyes lit up.

Being in the two-dimensional world, comprehending the essence of the power of that world was slow due to the suppression of the world itself. However, in the outside world, without the limitations of the two-dimensional world, the harvest would definitely be substantial.

"Yeah, your true body is in the main star of the galaxy, right? I'll let Yudie guide a bit of the power from the 'Virtual World' to help you comprehend," Xia Qin said.

"Thank you, Supreme Being," Lin Yuan said gratefully.

Having a grand Supreme Being like Yudie running errands was probably an experience few had in the history of human civilization.

In the depths of the cosmic sky.

A mysterious 'scroll' unfolded slowly.

Dozens of majestic figures stood nearby.

"Xia Qin, how about it? Have you considered it?" A gigantic figure, billions of miles tall, transmitted a message to Supreme Xia Qin. "Your relationship with my Cosmic Union is decent. As for the opening of the Heavenly Gate in the two-dimensional world this time, as long as you're willing to give up sixty percent of the special items, I'll have the Four God Kings bring out the special items you human civilization evolutionists have found?"

"This deal is quite profitable. Regarding the Insect Race and the Sky Wing Race, I'd want seventy or even eighty percent of the special items."

The gigantic figure looked at Xia Qin. He was a twelfth-level life form of the Cosmic Union, leading countless special life forms, and balancing against several pinnacle forces like human civilization.

"I'll consider it," Xia Qin said calmly.

"Consider it?" The gigantic figure was slightly stunned. "Xia Qin, you weren't like this before."

The gigantic figure was puzzled. Not long ago, they had discussed it, and Xia Qin had been quite enthusiastic.

But now?

The gigantic figure noticed the change.

"You're asking for too much," Xia Qin, knowing Lin Yuan's true strength, felt more confident and was just stalling the other party.

"Negotiation is possible if you ask for too much," the gigantic figure said immediately.

"In that case, I'll consider it," Xia Qin said again, circling back to the original topic.

"Alright, consider it," the gigantic figure didn't say much. "But time is limited, and by then, it won't be as easy as just sixty percent of the special items."

The special items in the two-dimensional world had their auras concealed to the extreme. Even the Four God Kings, powerful as they were, could only recognize them after getting close and using various means. So, as long as human civilization evolutionists dispersed the items they obtained and hid them in secret places, even if the Four God Kings slaughtered all the human evolutionists, they still wouldn't be able to obtain the items.

Outside the main star of the galaxy.

Virtual aura condensed, forming the figure of the Supreme Yudie.

"That little guy actually cultivated to the nineteenth stage of the Wu Ancestor?" Yudie Supreme looked towards the main star of the galaxy in the distance, still pondering what Supreme Xia Qin had told him.

"How did he cultivate? Without the broad vision of an eleventh-level life form, how could he comprehend the power at such a fast cultivation speed?" Yudie Supreme was astonished but then smiled, "But this is good. At least, in that two-dimensional world, our human civilization also has peak combat power."

"Virtual World."

Yudie Supreme's mind moved slightly, and strands of illusory power crossed infinite light-years, descending onto the main star of the galaxy, or more precisely, into the Great Hall of the Star Lord on the main star.

Great Hall of the Star Lord.

Lin Yuan sat cross-legged.

Suddenly.

Strands of illusory power gathered.

"What's this?" Lin Yuan quickly opened his eyes, "The power of the Virtual World from our human civilization's town weapon?"

The Virtual World, said to be able to replicate everything, even the myriad rules of the universe, coupled with the 'Outsider's Land', greatly accelerated the cultivation speed of the tenth-level evolutionists of human civilization.

It was said that one of the nine supreme beings of human civilization, Yudie Supreme, obtained his supreme evolutionary path from the Virtual World.

The Virtual World originated from the time long before human civilization, during an unprecedented opportunity when countless treasures and legacies fell into the universe.

Hum.

Strands of illusory power condensed and swirled around. Vaguely, the complete view of a miniature two-dimensional world appeared before Lin Yuan.

"Is this the true appearance of that two-dimensional world?" Lin Yuan observed carefully.

For him, it was difficult to fully sense the overall two-dimensional world. It was like being in a mountain, unable to see beyond the clouds.

But now, Lin Yuan had a concrete concept of this two-dimensional world.

"So, this is the essence of the power of the two-dimensional world?" Lin Yuan observed carefully, simultaneously feeling the true essence of the two-dimensional world with his Sun Avatar inside it, and intuitively feeling the mutual reflection between himself and the entire two-dimensional world.

[Your comprehension is extraordinary, sensing the essence of the mysterious world's power, and your own accumulation is slowly increasing.]

Compared to the supreme beings of human civilization who could only sense the overall aura of the two-dimensional world, Lin Yuan had his Sun Avatar inside it. The gains from the two were much greater.

"Wait."

"Why do I feel that the two-dimensional world replicated by the Virtual World is not complete? It seems to be only a part?" Lin Yuan was slightly surprised.

With his Sun Avatar in the real two-dimensional world, Lin Yuan immediately realized that the two-dimensional world replicated by the Virtual World was faintly incomplete.

This made Lin Yuan somewhat incredulous.

Given the depth of the two-dimensional world, it was normal for the Virtual World to be unable to completely replicate it.

Supreme Xia Qin had also specifically told Lin Yuan that the similarity between the two-dimensional world replicated by the Virtual World and the real two-dimensional world was only ten percent.

But similarity and completeness were two different things.

For example, when replicating a famous painting, the replica might be far inferior to the original in terms of detail.

However, at least in terms of size, the replica and the real painting should be similar.

And now, the two-dimensional world replicated by the Virtual World in front of Lin Yuan seemed much smaller than the real two-dimensional world.

"There are two possibilities."

"Either I'm perceiving it wrong."

"Or there are even broader hidden spaces within the two-dimensional world that the Virtual World cannot capture and therefore cannot replicate."

Lin Yuan thought to himself.

"That two-dimensional world." Lin Yuan looked in a certain direction, where the 'blank paper' ultimately stopped.

Around the 'blank paper', any material would spontaneously lower its dimension. Without the intervention of a Supreme Being, it would probably turn this one percent of the universe into a scroll.

"Never mind."

"What secrets are hidden in that two-dimensional world, and what does it have to do with me?"

Lin Yuan pondered for a moment, no longer thinking about it. What he urgently needed to do now was to improve his strength as much as possible.

Then, when the Heavenly Gate opened, defeat the other competitors, leave the two-dimensional world, and return to the main universe.

Two-dimensional world.

While sensing the essence of the world, Lin Yuan took out the silver mirror and gently touched it.

"How is this mirror used?" Lin Yuan observed carefully. According to the information he had obtained, before being obtained by Tuoba Ancient God, the owner of this mirror should have been a strong member of the Ice Clan.

This Ice Clan expert had the mirror for decades and might have discovered some uses for it.

However, after the Ice Clan expert died at the hands of Tuoba Ancient God, his true body closed off. Even if Lin Yuan concealed his identity and tried to contact him, he couldn't.

"If blood doesn't work, try using psychic power." Lin Yuan cautiously extended a strand of psychic power.

Inside the two-dimensional world, although all extraordinary powers were suppressed, psychic power was the most fundamental power of life, transcending beyond physical blood and energy.

Even in this two-dimensional world, psychic power still existed.

However, like other extraordinary powers, psychic power was also greatly suppressed.

Lin Yuan, currently at the nineteenth stage of the Wu Ancestor period, had condensed quite a bit of psychic power, enough to confidently expend some on the mirror.

If it were any other supreme being, losing a strand of psychic power might cause their state to plummet and their strength to greatly decrease.

"Hmm?"

"Is this mirror absorbing psychic power?" Lin Yuan's spirit stirred, and as his psychic power touched the mirror's surface, it felt a slight suction force.

Just as Lin Yuan was about to consume some psychic power to thoroughly understand the use of the silver mirror, Zha Ran Valley appeared outside, wanting to see Lin Yuan.

"Come in." Lin Yuan put away the silver mirror and spoke.

"Master." Zha Ran Valley spoke respectfully.

"What's the matter?" Lin Yuan looked at Zha Ran Valley. Before he closed off, he instructed not to disturb him unless it was a major issue.

"The royal family of the Blood Rain Ancient Kingdom wants to see you," Zha Ran Valley quickly said.

"The royal family of the Blood Rain Ancient Kingdom?" Lin Yuan shook his head, "Not interested."

If it were at the beginning of his descent, Lin Yuan might have had some fear of the royal family of the Blood Rain Ancient Kingdom.

But now? Even if all twelve ancient kingdoms' royal families were combined, Lin Yuan wouldn't bat an eyelid.

"The royal family of the Blood Rain Ancient Kingdom says they have a precious treasure to offer," Zha Ran Valley said.

"A precious treasure?" Lin Yuan's heart suddenly moved.
