Chapter 282
"Invite the Milky Way Star Lord."
The other invincible Rank 8 evolvers exchanged glances.
The B0001 battlefield is the oldest medium-sized battlefield, gathering many evolvers from human civilization and powerful members of the Tianyu Clan. In terms of war intensity, the B0001 battlefield is second only to the large-scale alien battlefields.
It frequently sees battles involving invincible Rank 8 beings. Human civilization has deployed dozens of invincible Rank 8 evolvers on this battlefield.
Even beyond the invincible Rank 8s, there are Rank 9 powerhouses who keep an eye on it. However, whether on the human side or the Tianyu Clan side, Rank 9 powerhouses rarely intervene.
Once a Rank 9 enters the field, the nature of the battle changes, and the entire battlefield could be torn apart. The major alliances of peak races in the cosmic space generally restrain Rank 9 powerhouses from taking action, except on large-scale battlefields.
Previously, human civilization deployed several Rank 9 evolvers to clean out powerful groups within the Insect Race Alliance because the Insect Race had openly broken their truce.
"Inviting the Milky Way Star Lord might work," the invincible Rank 8 evolvers agreed.
As invincible Rank 8s, they naturally held immense pride, but none doubted the Milky Way Star Lord's prowess. In the battle for the Milky Way Star Domain, the Milky Way Star Lord had faced five invincible Rank 8 aliens, killing two.
Such ferocity left no room for doubt. The Milky Way Star Lord had raised the power ceiling for invincible Rank 8s and shattered the myth of their invincibility. He was vaguely regarded as the first Rank 8 evolver in human civilization's history.
"But what price should we pay to invite the Milky Way Star Lord?" a woman in green asked.
Given the Milky Way Star Lord's strength, he could indeed turn the tide of the battlefield, at least by holding off a significant portion of the Tianyu Clan's invincible Rank 8s.
This would put human civilization in an unassailable position. The question was the cost. If it was too low, the Milky Way Star Lord wouldn't bother. If too high, it would be unreasonable. They didn't know what price would be sufficient to invite him.
"I propose we offer one-tenth of the total merits for the upcoming war on this battlefield," the stout figure said solemnly.
"One-tenth of the total merits?" The other invincible Rank 8 evolvers were shocked.
The total merits on a battlefield involve a vast number of merit points. Why do star lords constantly open and take over alien battlefields? Is it purely for the service of human civilization?
Naturally, it's because taking over an alien battlefield brings immense benefits, with merit points being the most crucial.
"As long as we don't lose to the Tianyu Clan, it's worth it," the invincible Rank 8 evolvers agreed after some thought. Losing to the Tianyu Clan would require them to pay a huge price, possibly losing even their avatars.
"In that case, I'll contact the Goddess of Freedom to relay the offer to the Milky Way Star Lord," the stout figure said.
Mobilizing an invincible Rank 8, especially a legendary one like Lin Yuan, required the Goddess of Freedom's consent. The agreed price also needed her to notarize it, showing their sincerity to the Milky Way Star Lord.
Devil Jade Space.
Second floor of the Black Tower.
Lin Yuan appeared again, with invisible, oppressive pressure assaulting from all directions.
"Using multiple cosmic powers to counteract the pressure can help me develop more techniques for cosmic power," Lin Yuan thought.
Since his last failure in the second floor, he occasionally returned to the nine-story Black Tower via the Devil Jade Mark. He used the pressure from the second floor to hone his use of various cosmic powers.
In the main world, cosmic power is unique to Rank 8 life forms, so there's no technique for its use. But in the spirit realm, many supreme Immortal Kings mastered multiple creation powers, and their combinations often produced greater power.
The nine-story Black Tower's environment was specifically designed for comprehending cosmic powers and spatial rules. With his Unrivaled Insight, Lin Yuan could continuously adapt and better understand the techniques for using cosmic powers.
Of course, Lin Yuan treated this as a pastime while comprehending spatial rules, a way to relax.
Outside the nine-story Black Tower.
The humanoid statue Shen Ji watched Lin Yuan's performance in the second floor.
"This little guy is using the master's training ground as a stepping stone?" Shen Ji shook his head.
"But that's good. I'm looking forward to seeing what he will achieve in the future," Shen Ji said, watching Lin Yuan in the screen.
Moments later, Lin Yuan voluntarily withdrew, being expelled from the nine-story Black Tower.
With his current strength, he was not only the strongest Rank 8 in human civilization's history but also possibly unmatched by any Rank 8 in the cosmic races' history.
In the Milky Way Star Domain battle, Lin Yuan hadn't been at full strength and hadn't shown his full power. Even so, it had shocked human civilization and the surrounding alien races even more.
Lin Yuan's true combat power had long surpassed the Rank 9 threshold. His exact level within Rank 9 would only be known after a real battle.
Upon Lin Yuan's agreement, the Goddess of Freedom immediately contacted the invincible Rank 8 evolvers on the B0001 battlefield. They were to meet in the virtual world soon to discuss the specific requirements for his action.
"Interpretation of the Void."
Lin Yuan resumed studying the book left by the master of the Devil Jade Tower.
"It's truly profound," Lin Yuan was fascinated. "Interpretation of the Void" contained 3,333 characters, each seemingly holding endless information. Each time he studied it, he found new spatial essences in the same character.
Lin Yuan spent several days studying.
"The 7,132nd spatial model."
Lin Yuan opened his eyes and moved his mind, gathering strands of spatial power to form an incredibly complex spatial model before him.
"Just over 500 spatial models left to fully comprehend spatial rules," Lin Yuan exhaled, feeling the mental fatigue. The level of "Interpretation of the Void" was too high for Lin Yuan to study for long periods without significant mental strain. This wasn't due to his Unrivaled Insight but his own mental capacity.
"Let's check the virtual world," Lin Yuan decided to relax by connecting to the virtual world.
"Creator Virtual World" Lin Yuan entered the special virtual world designed for the creators of various evolutionary paths in human civilization to interact.
Soon after Lin Yuan entered the creator world, Grand Scholar Tai Ah appeared beside him.
The public area of the creator world was open to every creator.
"Kid, haven't seen you online for a long time," Grand Scholar Tai Ah looked at Lin Yuan curiously.
Grand Scholar Tai Ah was very curious about Lin Yuan. If not for the Goddess of Wisdom's prevention and warnings, he might have used some means to find out Lin Yuan's real identity.
"I've been busy lately," Lin Yuan replied truthfully. He had been swamped with "Interpretation of the Void," merging rules, the nine-story Black Tower, and more.
"Being busy is good," Grand Scholar Tai Ah nodded.
"By the way, Grand Scholar Mo Lang plans to open a virtual world to discuss the essence of spatial and temporal rules. Are you interested?" Tai Ah asked, glancing at Lin Yuan.
Grand Scholar Mo Lang was one of the few Grand Scholars in the creator virtual world who openly revealed his identity. He was among the most elite and ancient scholars in human civilization. His identity being public had little impact.
"Essence of spatial and temporal rules?" Lin Yuan's eyes lit up. He wasn't currently interested in temporal rules, but spatial rules? Even with "Interpretation of the Void," he welcomed more insights and perspectives on space.
"Interested?"
"I have an invitation," Tai Ah asked again.
Listening to Grand Scholar Mo Lang wasn't something just anyone could do; only evolutionary scholars received invitations. If a scholar didn't want to participate, they could pass the invitation to another creator. Tai Ah was willing to give his invitation to Lin Yuan if he asked.
"Invitation?" Lin Yuan was puzzled.
A virtual screen appeared before him, showing an email with an invitation from Grand Scholar Mo Lang.
"Is this the invitation you're talking about?" Lin Yuan turned to Tai Ah.
"You?" Tai Ah blinked, repeatedly checking the invitation, then looked at Lin Yuan in disbelief.
"Since when did you become a Grand Scholar?"
