“Is the first challenge the hardest?” Lin Yuan pondered.

This did not align with the typical logic of passing stages; what if the first challenge eliminated everyone?

Soon.

Another Gold Pattern Evolver approached.

“The first challenge is the hardest,” Lin Yuan replied.

“You lack sincerity,” the Gold Pattern Evolver shook his head, giving Lin Yuan a strange look, then turned and walked away.



Next.

Several more Gold Pattern Evolvers tried to exchange information with Lin Yuan.

Evolver capable of appearing in the Seven Star Cave World were at least Third Rank; there was definitely no problem with their intelligence, and they would not let Lin Yuan freeload the challenge details.

“Honorable Lord Gold-Pattern,”

a Silver Pattern Evolver with a side profile walked in.

“I know the information about the Seven Star Cave challenges and am willing to divulge it without any compensation,” the Silver Pattern Evolver said directly.

Having observed Lin Yuan for a long time at his side, he confirmed that Lin Yuan knew very little about the Seven Star Cave.

“What are the conditions?”

Lin Yuan asked calmly.

“I hope Lord Gold-Pattern will do three things for me when entering the trial ground,” the Silver Pattern Evolver stated.

“What three things?” Lin Yuan looked at the other, inquiring.

“I don’t know that,” the Silver Pattern Evolver shook his head. The Seven Star Cave trials are ever-changing, and no one knows before the trials begin.

“Then forget it,”

Lin Yuan shook his head in refusal.

This request was too broad; what if the other party asked Lin Yuan to kill a Red Pattern Evolver or to give up his chance to pass?

To give it or not to give it?

“Really not interested? The Seven Star Cave challenge information is invaluable. If you know it beforehand and prepare accordingly, your chance of passing will greatly increase…”

The Silver Pattern Evolver saw Lin Yuan refuse, slightly disappointed, but did not give up.

“Unless you first specify what those tasks are,”

Lin Yuan said again.

“I will only know once I go in,” the Silver Pattern Evolver, seeing Lin Yuan was uncompromising, could only leave regretfully.



After being approached by several Evolvers wanting to bargain with sky-high demands for the challenge information, Lin Yuan simply disconnected from the Virtual World and returned to reality.

Central Continent Manor, main building’s underground training field.

Lin Yuan rubbed his temples, lost in brief thought.

“Information is crucial,” Lin Yuan was well aware.

This is much like an exam; one person gets the answers beforehand while another has to rely solely on their wits. The situations they face are naturally different.

Even the matter of the Seven Star Cave could present an even greater disparity than not having the answers.

If it were just the answers, with Lin Yuan’s Against-Heaven’s Understanding, even without the answers, he could still score ‘full marks.’

But in the trials of the Seven Star Cave, if other Evolvers took advantage of the information to deliberately trap or set up Lin Yuan,

a slight mistake could mean direct elimination.

“Ask the Goddess of Wisdom…”

Lin Yuan began connecting to the Goddess of Wisdom.

Given the Goddess of Wisdom’s status in the Cosmic Human Alliance, she definitely knew the contents of the Seven Star Cave trial.

But it was a matter of whether she was willing to divulge it…

“Citizen Lin Yuan, your authority is insufficient…”

The Goddess of Wisdom’s solemn, cool voice came.

This was not unexpected for Lin Yuan; the rules of the Seven Star Cave trial prohibited the passing of the trial process, otherwise, it would result in punishment by the Human Alliance and the Star Lord.

The punishment from the Human Alliance here was crucial, implying that divulging such information would violate Alliance Law.

In such cases, the Goddess of Wisdom would definitely not inform.

After all, one of the foundational operations of the three Great Goddesses was based on Alliance Law.



“Never mind.”

“Even without the information, I can still get through the Seven Caves,”

Lin Yuan sighed, already planning to give up.

A few Evolvers were aware of the Seven Star Cave challenge information, something the Chikun Star Lord was definitely aware of, yet it was not prevented.

Clearly, it was believed that even without prior information, there was still a possibility to get through the Seven Caves.

“Strength is the foundation of everything.”

Lin Yuan closed his eyes and continued his cultivation.



Meanwhile.

Outside the Manor Number Sixty-Six where Lin Yuan was located.

A guest had arrived.

The guest was none other than Fang Qing.

At the moment, Fang Qing looked numb.

The continuous roaring of the old man with the white beard echoed in his ears.

“You fool, you’re not as strong as Lin Yuan, not to mention far behind in aptitude,”

“At this time, if you’re not thinking about making friends with him, what are you waiting for?”

“The Seven Star Cave challenge information was specially prepared by the master when he was alive, aren’t you going to deliver it to Lin Yuan right now?”

“Delay any longer and, by the time Lin Yuan gets the information, won’t your delivery be too late?”

The relentless urging of the old man with the white beard persisted.
