Chapter 176 |
The gaze of Red Kun Star Lord swept over the 'model' composed of numerous spatial forces in Lin Yuan's hands.
The rules of space are vast and endless, without specific shapes. It is extremely difficult for ordinary evolvers to comprehend space.
Space is unlike fire, which emits heat and can be felt, nor is it like the earth, which can be touched.
Therefore...
During the 600,000 years of the Star Sea Era, a powerful evolver in the Human Civilization Alliance, proficient in the way of space, based on his own understanding, replaced the superficial essence of space rules with 965 models.
These 965 models cannot fully express the true rules of space, but they can provide guidance for other evolvers.
They have a similar effect to 'formulas'.
Normally, comprehending these 965 space models is basically equivalent to an entry-level understanding of space rules.
And to achieve this, one generally needs to reach the seventh rank.
But Lin Yuan?
Red Kun Star Lord couldn't understand.
In his long life, he had seen many geniuses, but most of these geniuses had powerful bloodlines or physical bodies, and so on.
Someone like Lin Yuan, who had just entered the sixth rank less than half a year ago, had achieved something that even seventh-rank marquises or kings couldn't do. It was truly inconceivable.
"Could it be that my disciple's talent in space is also very strong?" Red Kun Star Lord's thoughts wandered.
In nearly five to six thousand years, the strongest spatial talent Red Kun Star Lord had seen among his juniors was Silver Spirit, the silver-haired woman from the previous Seven-Star Cave test.
Red Kun Star Lord even gave her the identity of Crimson Mark and opened the world of the Seven-Star Cave test for her.
However, compared to Lin Yuan, Silver Spirit's spatial talent was simply like dog shit.
"Teacher?"
Lin Yuan saw Red Kun Star Lord staring at the space models in front of him and spoke softly.
"Oh, I just remembered something else." Red Kun Star Lord immediately reacted, his expression serious.
With Red Kun Star Lord's strength, he had naturally comprehended the more than 900 space models that explained the superficial essence of space long ago.
But when Red Kun Star Lord comprehended these more than 900 models, he was also about to enter the seventh rank. This was still based on his own body being a Star Sea Kun, naturally harmonizing with the rules of space.
If it weren't for being sure that Lin Yuan was indeed human, Red Kun Star Lord would have thought that the other party was more like a Star Sea Kun than himself.
"The 876th space model."
Red Kun Star Lord also raised his hand, manipulating the spatial force to form a peculiar-shaped model in front of him.
The model was not fixed but changed slowly with the fluctuations of space.
"The 876th space model."
Lin Yuan immediately observed carefully. In the training treasury of the Red Kun lineage, there were detailed explanations of the 965 space models.
There were even specialized spatial evolvers who actively unfolded models.
However, since space is constantly changing and fluctuating, the previous space models may not necessarily apply to the current spatial fluctuations.
Therefore, the space model condensed by Red Kun Star Lord at this moment was the model most suitable for the current cosmic spatial rules, and naturally provided greater inspiration to Lin Yuan.
[Your Unrivaled Insight allows you to continuously deepen your understanding of space rules by observing unknown space models.]

[Your Unrivaled Insight allows you to continuously deepen your understanding of space rules by observing unknown space models.]
A large number of insights surged in Lin Yuan's mind, bursting out countless insights about spatial forces. The accumulation of decades of observing the chaotic currents outside the Central Divine World, all erupted at once.
Buzz.
In front of Lin Yuan.
Hundreds of space models collapsed at the same time.
Strands of spatial force quickly intertwined and collided.
They actually formed a new space model.
"This is it."
A smile appeared on Lin Yuan's face.
This kind of space model had puzzled Lin Yuan for nearly a month.
Now, with the guidance of Red Kun Star Lord, he finally comprehended it.
"You've understood it?" On the high seat, Red Kun Star Lord was dumbfounded.
He had just demonstrated it once, and Lin Yuan had learned it?
Red Kun Star Lord had just prepared to explain a few things, such as reminding Lin Yuan where to start comprehending this kind of model.
But the result.
It was like a teacher explaining a problem in class.
As soon as he wrote down the answer and was about to explain the process and train of thought, all the students below had already learned it, and some even understood it thoroughly.
"Thank you, teacher."
Lin Yuan was in a good mood and immediately thanked Red Kun Star Lord.
If it weren't for Red Kun Star Lord, with his Unrivaled Insight, Lin Yuan would eventually comprehend it, but it would definitely waste a lot of time.
"No need to thank me."
Red Kun Star Lord waved his hand.
In theory, the gratitude of a genius like Lin Yuan should give him a sense of accomplishment.
But Red Kun Star Lord felt something was off.
He couldn't shake the feeling that something was wrong.
"Teacher, could you demonstrate the remaining one hundred space models again?" Lin Yuan seemed to remember something and asked somewhat embarrassedly.
"Demonstrate them all together?" Red Kun Star Lord remained silent for a moment, unable to help but ask.
Nine hundred and sixty-five space models involved the essence of space rules. Each model required evolvers to expend a great deal of effort and energy to comprehend.
Now Lin Yuan was asking him to demonstrate all the remaining models at once.
It was equivalent to—
A primary school student asking his teacher to present the syllabi for junior high school, high school, and university.
"No problem." Red Kun Star Lord nodded.
If it were any of his other disciples, Red Kun Star Lord would have definitely reprimanded them for being too ambitious and advised them to focus on the present.
But Lin Yuan... Considering how quickly Lin Yuan comprehended the space model just now, Red Kun Star Lord felt it was best to comply.
Buzz.
Various space models continuously condensed in front of Red Kun Star Lord.
Lin Yuan carefully observed each space model. Although he couldn't comprehend them in a short time, having Red Kun Star Lord demonstrate them would undoubtedly accelerate his future comprehension.
Half a day later.
A satisfied expression appeared on Lin Yuan's face.
Meanwhile, Red Kun Star Lord stopped demonstrating the space models, his thoughts complex.
"Thank you, teacher. I now have a foundation for comprehending the subsequent space models." Lin Yuan earnestly expressed his gratitude.
"You're welcome," Red Kun Star Lord nodded.
In reality, during this half day, he hadn't said a word, yet he had demonstrated numerous space models. He felt like nothing more than a tool.
Seeing Lin Yuan's satisfied expression, Red Kun Star Lord couldn't help but feel a sense of unreality.
Was teaching disciples really this easy?
He was skilled in teaching disciples and knew that teaching them well required a tremendous amount of effort.
"Teacher, what about the following seven thousand seven hundred and eighty-two space models?" Lin Yuan thought for a moment, intending to make the most of this opportunity for guidance. (Poor teacher)
The 965 space models Lin Yuan was currently comprehending analyzed the superficial essence of space rules. Fully comprehending these 965 space models would bring him to an introductory level of understanding of space rules.
However, after this introduction, he still needed to comprehend more of the fundamental rules of space.
So after the 965 space models, there were still seven thousand seven hundred and eighty-two more space models.
"The subsequent space models are difficult for outsiders to guide and require one to rely on oneself for comprehension," Red Kun Star Lord said calmly, though he felt extremely helpless inside.
Even he hadn't fully comprehended all seven thousand seven hundred and eighty-two space models, and Red Kun Star Lord had a sense of being depleted by Lin Yuan.
Furthermore.
Even if he did comprehend all seven thousand seven hundred and eighty-two space models, he wouldn't be able to demonstrate them.
Space rules, especially their fundamental essence, could be demonstrated superficially, but the focus might differ after different evolvers comprehended the same space model.
"Alright." Lin Yuan nodded.
He was feeling a bit impatient. Space rules, as the fundamental rules supporting the main world, were vast and endless. What others comprehended about space rules might not necessarily apply to Lin Yuan.
"If you really want to comprehend the complete space rules, you can pay a visit to the Alien Battlefield," Red Kun Star Lord suggested.
"The Alien Battlefield?" Lin Yuan knew that it was where the human race and various other races deep in the starry sky clashed.
"The Alien Battlefield is where countless powerhouses battle, and even the strongest intervene. The space there is unstable, with even permanent spatial rifts." Red Kun Star Lord sighed.
"The strongest?" Lin Yuan's expression turned serious.
In the current universe's Human Civilization Alliance, there were nine powerhouses, each presiding over an Evolution Tower, illuminating the vast starry sky for eternity.
Even with the entire universe as the backdrop, these powerhouses were the ultimate force, without equal.
It was only in battles between the strongest that permanent spatial rifts could be created. Otherwise, with the 'self-healing ability' of the main world's universe, even the largest spatial rifts could slowly 'heal.'
In the 2 million years of the Star Sea Era, the rapid expansion of human civilization and the suffering inflicted on other races were mainly due to the numerical advantage of the powerhouses.
Even the peak war machine tribe, the Insect Tribe, had only six powerhouses. While they held the upper hand in lower and middle-level battlefields, they suffered a disadvantage in battles between the strongest.
"The universe we are in has stable space and restrained rule fluctuations. As a result, it's difficult to comprehend space rules here."
"But in the Alien Battlefield, space is not as stable. Especially in those torn permanent spatial rifts, the pervasive force of infinite space is beneficial for comprehending space rules," Red Kun Star Lord explained.
The Alien Battlefield was a meat grinder for countless races in the universe, full of dangers but also numerous opportunities.
It was easier to sense space rules, but that was just one aspect.
There were also other benefits.
For example, certain legacies and many treasures.
In numerous battles between alien powerhouses, many perished, leaving treasures scattered in hidden locations, with corpses buried underground.
The bodies of powerful individuals from other races also hold significant value.
Furthermore, the permanent spatial rifts in the foreign battlegrounds sometimes welcome 'guests from beyond the realm.'
If one can seize the opportunity, there are many benefits to be gained.
"However, if you want to go to the foreign battleground, you must not go there in person. It's better to cultivate a clone to go," Red Kun Star Lord advised.
For geniuses like Lin Yuan, going there in person would be like offering themselves up to those foreign races.
If Lin Yuan hides within the human domain or on the Red Kun Main Star, the foreign races would have to pay a hefty price to assassinate him, and even if he were resurrected later, it wouldn't matter.
But in the foreign battlegrounds? As soon as news of Lin Yuan's presence spreads, you'd better believe there will be a bunch of seventh and eighth rank foreign powerhouses waiting to pounce.
Moreover, in the battlegrounds, killing Lin Yuan wouldn't cost anything, and even if he were resurrected later, it wouldn't matter.
"I understand," Lin Yuan nodded.
Even when traveling through the Gate of the Myriad Realms to other worlds, he always did so using a secure method of consciousness descent.
Let alone going to the perilous foreign battlegrounds.
"There are more than ten methods of creating clones in the treasury. You can choose one when the time comes," Red Kun Star Lord said.
At the sixth rank, Lin Yuan could bear the cost of soul division required to create a clone.
Creating a clone in the main world incurred much lower costs compared to the immortal world.
But even so, it still required a partial division of the soul, injecting it into the clone.
Without a soul, the clone would be no different from a puppet.
However, dividing a part of the soul was something that evolvers below the sixth rank couldn't accomplish. Even if they could, it would lead to a significant loss of potential and essence.
"My Martial Spirits, Yin Spirit, and Yang Spirit," Lin Yuan subconsciously compared his Yin and Yang Spirits to traditional clone techniques in the main world.
He finally realized that his Martial Spirits was probably superior to most clone techniques.
At the very least, he didn't need to actively divide his soul. His Yin and Yang Spirits shared the same consciousness as his main body, forming a trinity.
"It is said that in the depths of the starry sky, some rare and special beings are born with the talent of 'cloning.' Most of the human civilization's clone techniques were probably derived from those innate 'cloning' talents," Lin Yuan thought to himself.
Those 'cloning' talents seemed to be similar to his Martial Spirits, not requiring soul division and sharing consciousness.
Next, Red Kun Star Lord gave Lin Yuan a few more reminders.
The gist was that even if he cultivated a clone and went to the foreign battleground, he should avoid exposing his identity.
He shouldn't try to kill those foreign races either. It wasn't necessary, and if his clone were to fall in battle, it would also affect Lin Yuan's main body.
In the crimson palace, Red Kun Star Lord watched Lin Yuan leave.
"My disciple's understanding of spatial rules is probably unmatched by anyone except for the eldest. He has comprehended over eight hundred space models. Even my second and third disciples, at best, can only keep up with him or even be slightly inferior.
As for the fourth, fifth, and so on, they aren't even at the seventh rank" Red Kun Star Lord thought silently.
"This talent..." Red Kun Star Lord sighed.
For Lin Yuan, Red Kun Star Lord seemed to see himself getting older and falling behind the times.
In such a short period, Lin Yuan had grown from being the weakest among the thirteen peak leaders at the fourth rank to now, second only to the Grand Peak Leader.
Red Kun Star Lord could foresee that with Lin Yuan's current rate of cultivation and comprehension, surpassing the Grand Peak Leader was only a matter of time.
Wait a minute.
Red Kun Star Lord suddenly felt a pang of unease.
Oh no, could it be that he was going to be surpassed by his own disciple too?
