"Teacher, I..."

Jin Tianzhao connected to the virtual network and immediately learned the reason for Golden Dragon Star Lord's dissatisfaction.

"You mean to tell me that the six-level citizen I offended has actually been promoted to a seven-level citizen and become the fifty-seventh member of our Star Alliance's council?"

Jin Tianzhao widened his eyes in disbelief. While he had been wary of the possibility of Lin Yuan advancing to a seven-level citizen in the future, he hadn't expected it to happen so soon.

That's a seven-level citizen we're talking about, not some run-of-the-mill pedestrian! How did he manage to accumulate the two million merit points needed for promotion?

"That Shi Feng misled me! He claimed that 'Thirteen' couldn't be more than a thousand years old. It's all lies!" Jin Tianzhao was deeply resentful. Though he had a proud personality, he couldn't simply antagonize a seasoned six-level citizen.

Seasoned six-level citizens not only had stable social circles but, more importantly, you never knew how much experience and merit points they had accumulated.

At the time, Jin Tianzhao had found Lin Yuan unfamiliar and had assumed that he had just recently reached the six-level. He didn't seem to have much depth.

That's why his attitude had been slightly more aggressive. After all, a newly promoted six-level citizen wasn't much in front of the Golden Dragon Star Domain.

When he reported to Golden Dragon Star Lord, the latter hadn't paid much attention either. Who would have thought that this 'Thirteen' would turn out to be so low-key?

He was probably only a hair's breadth away from accumulating the two million merit points needed when he was threatened by Jin Tianzhao at the time.

But he hadn't said anything.

"Teacher, what should we do now?"

Jin Tianzhao asked hastily after a moment of silence. Pursuing accountability at this point was meaningless. What mattered was how to mend the relationship with that council member.

While Golden Dragon Star Lord was also a seven-level citizen, he wasn't foolish. He naturally didn't want to create unnecessary enemies on the same level.

"How much is that resource dead star worth?"

Golden Dragon Star Lord inquired. He was aware of the dispute between Moonwatch Star Domain and them and tacitly agreed. After all, Moonwatch Star Domain's strength, from any perspective, was far inferior to Golden Dragon Star Domain's.

"Teacher, if the resource dead star is fully exploited, it will probably yield valuable resources equivalent to eleven thousand universal crystals," Jin Tianzhao immediately replied.

"Give up the eleven thousand universal crystals directly and give them to Moonwatch Star Domain"

Golden Dragon Star Lord said directly after some thought. For the sake of a mere eleven thousand universal crystals, it wasn't worth antagonizing a seven-level citizen.

And whether Golden Dragon Star Domain could eventually take over this resource dead star was another matter altogether.

As long as Lin Yuan used the council member's veto power, the matter could be dragged on, giving Moonwatch Star Domain ample time for extensive mining. Ultimately, Golden Dragon Star Domain's profit would plummet.

In that case, it was better to give up proactively. It also showed goodwill towards that seven-level citizen.

"Give up. Okay" Jin Tianzhao said somewhat reluctantly.

Originally, according to the plan, Golden Dragon Star Domain would have received at least seventy percent of the revenue from that resource dead star, which would have been seven to eight thousand universal crystals.

Golden Dragon Star Lord might not care much about these universal crystals, but his disciples were quite envious.

"Also, prepare a gift and send it to that council member. The value of the gift should be around a thousand universal crystals."

"Remember, you will deliver the gift yourself, don't say too much, and don't do too much. Once the gift is delivered, come back" Golden Dragon Star Lord instructed.

"Do I need to apologize?" Jin Tianzhao asked cautiously.

"Just delivering the gift will do. Being too deliberate with an apology wouldn't be good," Golden Dragon Star Lord shook his head.

"Yes," Jin Tianzhao immediately responded.

Red Kun Main Star.

Inside the Thirteenth Peak Hall.

Lin Yuan sat cross-legged.

"Spiritual Will Index."

Lin Yuan carefully read the document sent by his teacher, the Red Kun Star Lord.

The spiritual will of life is not necessarily related to one's own strength. Of course, the stronger the strength, the corresponding spiritual will also increases.

However, if the strength is not strong, the spiritual will may not necessarily be low. The spiritual will is related to one's own life experiences and insights.

"With this promotion to seventh-level citizen, aside from the benefits officially bestowed by human civilization, the total value of the gifts from others amounts to nearly twenty thousand universal crystals," Lin Yuan calculated.

Among these, the gift from the Moonwatch Star Domain was the largest. In addition to the original reward of three thousand universal crystals, upon learning that the Golden Dragon Star Domain voluntarily relinquished the resource dead star, the Moonwatch Star Lord sent another two thousand universal crystals as a congratulatory gift.

Taking into account the previous investments made to attract Lin Yuan's vote, the Moonwatch Star Domain has undoubtedly spent a fortune.

And then there's the Golden Dragon Star Domain, perhaps as a gesture of submission, which voluntarily sent a congratulatory gift worth a thousand universal crystals.

Altogether, the total value of all the gifts amounted to nineteen thousand eight hundred sixty-two universal crystals.

"The rate at which higher-level citizens accumulate wealth is too exaggerated," Lin Yuan couldn't help but feel a slight sigh.

It's worth noting that all the universal crystals in the estate of the eighth-rank evolver Ouyin amounted to only a thousand. This clearly indicated the normal amount of 'liquid universal crystals' an eighth-rank evolver would have.

Of course, Ouyin was an eighth-rank evolver from many years ago. Nowadays, the eighth-rank evolvers of the Human Civilization Alliance are much wealthier, but the amount of universal crystals that an ordinary eighth-rank evolver can freely use definitely does not exceed five thousand.

Now, Lin Yuan has tens of thousands of universal crystals in his possession, including those he had accumulated previously, which can be considered quite wealthy even among eighth-rank evolvers.

"With these universal crystals, I can buy some universal treasures to supplement my internal world," Lin Yuan thought silently.

The internal world of an eighth-rank evolver, at first, is just a world shell that needs continuous improvement in rule comprehension, material treasures, and so on.

For example, a universal treasure called 'Quicksand Water' can be placed into the internal world to provide nourishment from the source of water to the operation of the internal world.

Deep within the Hall of Thirteenth Peak, Lin Yuan was just about to sense the changes in his internal world when he noticed that his senior brothers were returning to the Red Kun Main Star.

"Have the senior brothers returned?" Lin Yuan immediately got up, intending to visit his senior brothers.

Not long ago, the insect race, in order to attract the attention of human civilization, launched a series of activities targeting human evolvers on multiple alien battlefields. Many sixth, seventh, and even eighth-rank evolvers died in those cleanups.

Afterwards, when the Human Civilization Alliance reacted, they immediately mobilized many evolvers from various star domains to start settling accounts with the alien races on the battlefields.

The senior brothers, along with their respective armies of evolvers, went to the alien battlefields.

"Is the cleanup over?" Lin Yuan speculated, and soon met up with his senior brothers.

"Junior brother."

"Junior brother, you're here."

Seeing Lin Yuan, the twelve senior brothers all smiled.

"Junior brother."

The eldest senior brother looked at Lin Yuan and greeted him.

"Elder brother, you?" Lin Yuan carefully observed the eldest senior brother, his expression changing slightly.

With his keen perception, he faintly sensed that there was a cold aura emanating from the eldest senior brother, as if he had suffered some injury.

"It's worthy of our Junior brother."

"So quick to notice,"

"This time, on the alien battlefield, the eldest senior brother almost provoked an eighth-rank alien to make a move. Although nothing happened in the end, there were still some consequences."

"That eighth-rank alien specializes in soul attacks. Fortunately, the eldest senior brother has a soul defense treasure to protect himself, or it could have been disastrous."

The other senior brothers explained successively.

"Soul attack?"

Lin Yuan's expression changed slightly.

Soul attacks are mysterious and unpredictable. Even the eighth-rank evolver Ouyin fell victim to soul attacks.

Even Lin Yuan, who was vigilant about soul defenses, took them very seriously. Within the foundation of his refined Primordial Essence Gold, there was even included a defense against soul attacks.

"No worries, the teacher has already checked, and there's nothing wrong. I'll recover in a while," the eldest senior brother waved his hand and said.

...

Is he really okay?.-.
