Chikun Prime Virtual World.

Central Plaza Area.

For any planet-level virtual world,

the Central Plaza Area is always the most attention-grabbing place.

Here stand the majestic and tall evolution rankings, gathering the strongest one hundred evolutionary paths born from over a million life planets in this star domain.

Even if the popularity of the arena district surged due to tournament events, as soon as the tournaments ended, the Central Plaza Area buzzed with activity once again.

However, on this particular early morning,

the one hundredth place on this star domain-level evolution ranking quietly changed to a different evolutionary path.

“Damn.”

“Look quick, the evolution rankings have changed.”

Immediately, evolvers noticed this and started discussing heatedly.

Even if it was only the last one hundredth place, one must know that this is a star domain-level evolution ranking, with each listed evolutionary path having emerged from countless others.

The evolutionary paths ranked in the top hundred of the Chikun Evolution Rankings, even the one in one hundredth place, are all of the most cutting-edge Sixth Rank, holding the hope of advancing to the Seventh Rank Evolutionary Pathway.

“The Martial Path Evolutionary Path? What kind of evolutionary path is that?”

“Heavens, this evolutionary path, is it only Fourth Rank?”

“A Fourth Rank Evolutionary Path surpassing a large number of Sixth Rank Evolutionary Paths to enter the Chikun Evolution Rankings?”

The plaza was full of stunned people.

The scope of the Chikun Evolution Rankings includes the entire Chikun Star Domain.

Therefore, the rankings are often subject to change,

with such a large population base,

the probability of giving rise to top-notch Sixth Rank Evolutionary Paths also greatly increases.

But even with frequent changes, even when breaking into the top hundred, it should be the Sixth Rank Evolutionary Paths that make it.

What the hell is a Fourth Rank Evolutionary Path?

It was as if a group of students, all around eighteen or nineteen years old, just entered a higher educational institution, and suddenly, an eight or nine-year-old child appeared among them, making the other students feel somewhat awkward.

“The evolution rankings definitely don’t make mistakes; they have been verified multiple times by the three goddesses, which means this Fourth Rank Evolutionary Path truly surpasses those top-tier Sixth Rank paths in the overall evaluation…”

“Let me take a closer look…”

“The Martial Path Evolutionary Path….”

…

Someone couldn’t wait any longer and began pulling up more information about the Martial Path Evolutionary Path.

“Hmm… The Martial Path Evolutionary Path originated on Canglan Star, an ordinary Middle-grade Life Planet in the Dawn Star System…”

“And yet, merely the Martial Path Evolutionary Path of the Fourth Rank holds the potential to ascend to the Seventh Rank Evolutionary Pathway?”

“Big shot, this must be the research achievement of some high-ranking evolver scholar from our Human Alliance.”

…..

On the plaza, numerous evolvers and high-ranking citizens, although engaged in constant debate, shared a common viewpoint.

That is, the founder of this evolutionary path must be some prestigious evolver scholar occupying a high position.

Here one must mention a well-known fact.

Generally speaking,

founders of an evolutionary path fall into two categories.

The first type is those who forge the path as they cultivate it, like Lin Yuan, who develops the evolutionary path to the same realm that he has cultivated to himself.

However, such founders are extremely rare.

As for the second type… they are those high-rank evolver scholars who, from a position of great authority, develop and create entirely new evolutionary paths.

The latter represents the mainstream among the evolutionary path founders of the Human Alliance.

After all, for high-rank evolvers to create new evolutionary paths, they have significant advantages in both experience and efficiency.

Just like teachers in schools, even those teaching at the most basic level, at least have a university degree, if not a doctorate from a research institute.

From a higher vantage point, it’s easier to identify and solve problems.

Because of this common knowledge,

the vast majority on the plaza believed that the Martial Path Evolutionary Path was established by a seasoned evolver scholar.

And it is also very regular.

It resembles how those well-versed evolver scholars would release their research findings on a schedule.

“Exactly, I’ve purchased the complete set and am studying it carefully.”

“I’ve finished reading it and decided to have my son cultivate this evolutionary path. After all, coming from the hands of an evolver scholar, it’s certain to have follow-ups.”

…

In the Central Continent Manor on Canglan Star,

Lin Yuan was exploring the ‘Founder’s Virtual World’.

The Founder’s Virtual World has two modes.

One is similar to the virtual world of the major planets.

However, a prerequisite to entering the Founder’s Virtual World is to be a founder oneself,

and the evolutionary path one has created must have the potential to advance to the Seventh Rank.

In addition, even if what’s created isn’t an evolutionary path but rather another significant research achievement, as long as it meets the standards, one can also enter the Founder’s Virtual World.

If one cannot meet the aforementioned criteria, then there is no access to this world.

This leads to very few people in the Founder’s Virtual World.

Although Human Civilization has quite a few Seventh Rank Evolutionary Pathways, over the long years, most of their founders have died for various reasons.
