The river of time flows endlessly, from the distant past to the infinite future.
In the river of time, a life form at the tenth rank barely counts as a small fish, just slightly stronger than a "subatomic particle."
At the eleventh rank, one can be considered a big fish.
Some extremely special existences at the eleventh rank manifest in the river of time as colossal beings, covering almost half of the riverbed.
"Am I now considered a big fish too?"
Lin Yuan examined himself. Although he was only a tenth-rank life form, his foundation was so strong that his presence in the river of time was not inferior to those of the eleventh-rank beings.
"I wonder what my form in the river of time will look like when I reach the eleventh rank or even the peak of the eleventh rank?" Lin Yuan thought silently.
The form of every living being in the river of time is only related to the essence of life itself, unaffected by external forces.
As Lin Yuan was feeling the strong fluctuations of the time rules and examining himself, Supreme One Xia Qin had already fished out all the Evolvers on the resurrection list.
These Evolvers, upon returning to the current space-time, immediately began to "synchronize" their memories, right up to the moment before their deaths.
The river of time is vast and endless; even just a small tributary contains countless lives. Thus, for a Strongest One to resurrect a particular being, they must lock onto that being's life imprint, using it as a "beacon."
Without a life imprint to serve as a beacon, even a Strongest One would be unable to precisely locate the life they wish to resurrect in the vast river of time.
A Strongest One may transcend the river of time, but that does not mean they control it.
"Where is this?"
"Have I been resurrected?"
"I remember fighting against a strong Infernal Clan warrior on Battlefield No. A076, and then suddenly, I died..."
Countless resurrected Evolvers first displayed confusion in their eyes, but they soon became clear-minded.
In human civilization, the fact that Strongest Ones can perform resurrections is no secret, especially among those Evolvers who know they have the potential to be resurrected.
After completing the resurrection task, Supreme One Xia Qin glanced at the many resurrected Evolvers and then disappeared.
Immediately, Evolvers from the Yu Die Evolution Tower stepped forward to guide those who had just been resurrected.
Many of the resurrected Evolvers had died tens of thousands of years ago and were unfamiliar with the current era, requiring time to adjust.
"I... I've been resurrected too?"
Among the many resurrected Evolvers, different groups formed based on their strength. Sixth-rank Evolvers were in one group, seventh-rank in another, eighth-rank in another, and ninth-rank in yet another.
As a newly advanced sixth-rank, Fang Qing naturally found himself in the group of sixth-rank Evolvers. Around him were other sixth-rank Evolvers who had also been resurrected.
"I follow the Ancient God evolution path. By all rights, I shouldn't have been resurrected," Fang Qing thought, puzzled.
He recognized many of the other sixth-rank Evolvers around him—they were all genius Evolvers, renowned across entire star domains.
As for himself?
Although he had reached the sixth rank in just a few hundred years, he had done so through the Ancient God evolution path, which is essentially a shortcut.
Compared to other normal evolution paths, the Ancient God evolution path doesn't require much talent or insight—one simply needs to be similar enough to the corresponding Ancient God.
Human civilization doesn't allocate many resources to those following the Ancient God evolution path, nor do they typically have spots on the resurrection list.
So Fang Qing was baffled as to how he had also been resurrected.
At this moment, a figure suddenly appeared beside him.
"Star Lord."
Fang Qing looked over, and his spirit immediately lifted as he respectfully greeted Lin Yuan.
"Not bad."
"How does it feel to be resurrected?"
Lin Yuan asked, looking at Fang Qing.
"I'm not sure. It just feels like I've been dreaming for a long time," Fang Qing replied honestly.
"Star Lord, was I resurrected because...?" Fang Qing couldn't help but ask.
Lin Yuan sat cross-legged.
"Death Rule... Destruction Rule..."
"Great Destruction Rule?"
Lin Yuan merged the pillar rules of death and destruction, forming the Great Destruction Rule.
The Great Destruction Rule is a purely offensive rule, even more so than the Life and Death Reincarnation Rule.
It's one of the pillar-level merging rules with greater killing power than the Life and Death Reincarnation Rule.
In the years since he broke through to the tenth rank, Lin Yuan had not only been comprehending the Life and Death Reincarnation Rule but also other pillar-level merging rules.
Now, the Great Destruction Rule was the result.
"The Great Destruction Rule... among the twelve gates on the black planet, one corresponds to the Great Destruction Rule."
Lin Yuan had a thought, and his Yin Primordial Spirit immediately descended upon the black planet.
"Great Destruction..."
Lin Yuan stood before the gate symbolizing the Great Destruction Rule, then activated the aura of the Great Destruction Rule, pushing open the gate and walking inside.
Soon, he arrived at an altar similar to the one in the Life and Death Reincarnation Rule path.
"You again?"
Black mist surged, coalescing into a black-robed man. He glanced at Lin Yuan and shook his head slightly.
"Senior..."
Lin Yuan greeted the black-robed man.
"When will the trial begin?" Lin Yuan got straight to the point, not wanting to waste time.
"Trial?"
The black-robed man was silent.
He could sense that Lin Yuan had only recently comprehended the Great Destruction Rule.
But given the previous trial for the Life and Death Reincarnation Rule, the black-robed man knew that the trials set by the black planet were essentially non-existent in the face of Lin Yuan.
"Forget it."
"Just go inside."
The black-robed man, not wanting to waste time, waved his right hand, and a five-meter-wide black door appeared.
Rather than have Lin Yuan unleash his full power again, shaking the black planet's interior, it was better to let him go inside and comprehend the rule quickly.
Out of sight, out of mind.
"Thank you, Senior." Seeing this, Lin Yuan didn't hesitate.
He immediately formed an avatar and entered the black door.
He found himself in a small space only a few miles in diameter.
However, it was filled with the infinite aura of the Great Destruction Rule.
"Great Destruction..."
Lin Yuan carefully observed the changes in the aura of the Great Destruction Rule, and with the support of his Unrivaled Insight, terrifying comprehension and inspiration continuously flooded his mind.
And so, Lin Yuan's two avatars quickly comprehended the Life and Death Reincarnation Rule and the Great Destruction Rule.
Meanwhile, his true body and his Yang and Yin Primordial Spirits continued to comprehend and cultivate other rules, secret techniques, and so on.
In the blink of an eye, fifty years had passed.
