Chapter 230
Chapter 230
The index of Spirit Willpower reached over eleven thousand points.
Passing through the heart demon calamity, one could say it wasn't particularly difficult.
However, to be on the safe side and prevent extreme situations from occurring, Lin Yuan still intended to confront the heart demon while transmigrating the worlds.
For over two million years in the Star Sea calendar, various evolutionary scholars of human civilization have conducted detailed research on the heart demon calamity.
Some scholars believe that when breaking through the Eighth Rank, the 'heart demon' faced comes from the external world, formed by the negative emotions of countless beings.
Others believe that the so-called 'heart demon' originates from the obsessions of the evolver themselves.
To this day, there is no consensus on which is the case.
Lin Yuan's choice to confront the heart demon while transmigrating the worlds is aimed at the first scenario.
The heart demon comes from the external world.
If that's really the case and Lin Yuan senses that something is amiss, feeling unable to overcome the heart demon calamity, he could easily use the Gate to the Myriad Realms to escape back to the main world.No matter how strong the heart demon may be, it cannot cross into dimensional space to pursue him into the main world.
Of course, with Lin Yuan's current Spirit Willpower index exceeding eleven thousand points, he doesn't think such a possibility will occur, but it's always wise to leave a contingency plan.
"Begin."
Lin Yuan's consciousness sank deep into his mind.
He gazed at the majestic and expansive Gate to the Myriad Realms.
"The Breaking Boundary Source Power has now accumulated to seven strands."
Lin Yuan checked the quantity of Breaking Boundary Source Power. With the blessing of the Yin God on the battlefield of the alien races beside the permanent spatial rift, it only took two hundred and ninety days to accumulate one strand of Breaking Boundary Source Power.
"Spending one strand of Breaking Boundary Source Power for peace of mind isn't a loss."
Lin Yuan thought to himself. This time, Lin Yuan's primary goal is to pass through the heart demon calamity.
As for continuing to cultivate? Understanding the rules? Perfecting the path of martial arts evolution? All of that can wait.
"Transmigrate."
Lin Yuan directly expended one strand of Breaking Boundary Source Power, and his will poured into the Gate to the Myriad Realms.
"This old man, doesn't weigh much altogether."
"At least having something is better than nothing. At least it can make some soup."
"Sigh, that's it. But that girl I saw today, she's really beautiful."
"Beautiful, so what? In this world now, even if she's beautiful, she's not worth a pound of grain."
Lin Yuan faintly heard some voices. Although he didn't understand the language, he instinctively understood.
However, his consciousness had just awakened and hadn't fully adapted yet, so he could only quietly listen to the conversation outside.
After more than ten breaths.
Lin Yuan's consciousness finally stabilized.
"Hmm?"
"The Great Flame Empire? At the end of the dynasty, warlord chaos? People living in misery?"
Lin Yuan quickly assimilated the memories of the original body and understood his current situation.
The limit of this world is not very high. At least in the memories of the original body, even experts capable of fighting hundreds are extremely rare.
The Great Flame Empire has ruled the world for nearly five hundred years, but now it has completely decayed. Along with various 'rebel armies' uprising, the entire empire is on the verge of collapse.
The reason for this is that the people simply cannot survive, with continuous disasters and heavier taxes imposed by the court each year.
Now it has reached the point of cannibalism.
Just like Lin Yuan now, he's being treated as meat, and even despised for having too little flesh.
"My current body."
Lin Yuan sensed his body, furrowing his brows slightly. First of all, there's the age; the original body is already over sixty years old, and the physical functions have deteriorated significantly, compounded by being in a state of hunger for a long time.
It's even somewhat difficult to stand up now.
After resting for a while, Lin Yuan, relying on his strong Spirit Willpower, mobilized his blood and qi circulation, barely recovering some strength.
"This world?"
Lin Yuan looked around. From the moment his consciousness awakened until now, he hadn't felt a trace of spiritual energy or vitality.
"The era of decline?"
Lin Yuan judged.
At the same time.
[Name: Chen Jun (Lin Yuan)]
[Identity: Guardian of the Gate to the Myriad Realms]
[Bound Talent: Unrivaled Insight]
[Divine Ability: Blood Rebirth]
[Current Status: Consciousness Descended]
[Remaining Residency Time: Thirty Years]
"Only thirty years of residency time?"
"So, the residency in a world depends on the world's level, not one's own realm?"
Lin Yuan appeared contemplative.
During the previous six transmigrations, Lin Yuan's residency time increased with each one, leading him to believe that the residency time in transmigrated worlds was related to his own realm.
The higher the realm, the longer the residency time.
However, it now seemed that it depended on the level of the transmigrated world.
After all, the current world should be only a low martial or even non-martial world, probably weaker than the world Lin Yuan first transmigrated, hence the thirty-year residency time.
"The transmigration conducted by consuming a strand of Breaking Boundary Source Power is completely random. In the previous six times, I was lucky, so each transmigration world provided assistance, but this time, luck seems to have run out," Lin Yuan thought to himself.
However, the level of the transmigrated world this time had no significant impact on Lin Yuan's main goal.
In fact, the weaker the transmigrated world, the happier Lin Yuan was, because according to the analysis of those evolutionary scholars of human civilization, the heart demons of the heart demon calamity come from the external world, formed by the negative emotions of countless beings.
So, the heart demons formed by the negative emotions of countless beings in the main world would definitely be vastly different from those formed by the beings of this low martial world or non-martial world.
There was simply no comparison.
For Lin Yuan, facing the heart demon calamity here was equivalent to reducing the difficulty.
"To confront the heart demon calamity has nothing to do with the physical body or soul. The heart demon targets the mind and willpower."
"As long as the realm is reached, the heart demon can be summoned at any time."
"There's no need for the physical body and soul to reach the pinnacle of the Seventh Rank at the same time."
Lin Yuan thought silently.
To advance to the Eighth Rank, the physical body and soul must reach perfection.
But facing the heart demon calamity had no such requirement; only the realm needed to meet the standard.
Even at this moment, Lin Yuan could summon the heart demon.
"Although the residency time this time is not long, it's still thirty years. There's no need to rush," Lin Yuan scanned his surroundings. Most importantly, his current situation wasn't very good. He didn't want to be disturbed by external forces while confronting the heart demon calamity.
"Hmm?"
"What are you doing, old man? Trying to stand up?"
"Do you think you can escape? Where can you possibly escape to?"
Just as Lin Yuan adjusted his blood and qi and stood up, two burly men nearby looked over with ill intentions. They were surrounded by various butcher knives, eyeing Lin Yuan as if he were a lamb to be slaughtered.
"Get lost."
Lin Yuan glanced at the two men.
He didn't exert any force, nor could he, as Lin Yuan had just regained consciousness and could only use mental techniques.
Boom.
The two burly men felt as if the sky had collapsed and their minds had been crushed tens of times over, causing their wills to collapse and them to collapse to the ground, convulsing.
Their bodies were still alive, but their wills had collapsed.
This was the advantage of a strong Spirit Willpower. Just a single glance could completely crush the opponent.
Of course, these two burly men were too weak. If they were Sixth or Seventh Rank evolvers, even if their Spirit Willpower was far inferior to Lin Yuan's, they wouldn't be so feeble with their physical bodies and souls guarding them.
"Let's go."
Lin Yuan walked away swaggeringly.
Along the way, there were people trying to stop him, but they all crumbled under Lin Yuan's gaze.
With Lin Yuan's current strength of Spirit Willpower, even if surrounded by millions of troops, he could walk away as if taking a leisurely stroll.
This was still a fragile physical body, greatly limiting Lin Yuan's Spirit Willpower.
Time passed.
In the blink of an eye, ten years had passed.
During these ten years, Lin Yuan did not choose to immediately confront the heart demon calamity. Instead, he traveled far and wide, observing sentient beings as a bystander.
In the fourth year after Lin Yuan's arrival, the Great Flame Dynasty was broken by the rebel army and completely perished.
At this moment, the situation in the world was chaotic, with various warlords vying for power.
Finally, a new warlord waving the banner of 'Great Chu,' after six years of campaigning from south to north, ended the chaotic era and established the Great Chu Empire.
In a sunny valley.
A middle-aged man with an elegant demeanor stood respectfully outside.
It seemed like he was waiting for something.
If there were outsiders present, they would find that this middle-aged man was none other than the founding emperor of the Great Chu Empire, the most esteemed person in the world.
However, at this moment, this founding emperor stood outside the valley with utmost respect, not daring to overstep.
At this moment, a child walked out of the valley.
"Master, is Master willing to see me?" The middle-aged man immediately asked in a low voice.
"You can go."
"The master said that there is no great kindness between you and him. There's no need to care," the child said solemnly.
"No great kindness?"
The middle-aged man looked lost and sorrowful. If it weren't for the master's intervention back then, he would have died at the hands of the rebel army long ago. How could he have established such a great foundation?
Although he had only followed his master for a few years, the middle-aged man deeply realized that his master was truly an immortal, and all mundane matters were of no concern to his master.
Even he, the founding emperor of the Great Chu Empire, was merely a product of his master's casual cultivation.
"Yes."
Taking a deep breath, the middle-aged man said in a low voice, "Tell the master that I will have the Great Chu Empire offer daily worship to his memorial tablet."
Inside the valley.
Lin Yuan glanced at the departing middle-aged man but didn't pay much attention. He was not a native of this world, and all his actions were done on a whim.
With the collapse of the Great Flame Dynasty and the chaos in the world, Lin Yuan grew tired of it and nurtured a new emperor to stabilize the situation. It seemed somewhat pleasing to him.
That was all.
"My current Spirit Willpower index should be over twelve thousand now?"
Lin Yuan thought to himself. Over the past ten years, as he traveled the world, his Spirit Willpower had been constantly improving through contemplation.
"But here, I can't sense the 'Devil Jade Space'?"
Lin Yuan suddenly thought of it.
From the moment Lin Yuan's consciousness descended, his memories synchronized, comprehending three thousand three hundred and thirty-three paths of evolutionary pathways, naturally condensing the 'Devil Jade Mark.'
In the main world, when Lin Yuan condensed the Devil Jade Mark, he could sense the vast and mysterious Devil Jade Space.
But here, he gained nothing.
From this, it could be inferred that even the master of the Devil Jade Tower was far inferior to the Gate of the Myriad Realms. At least, the Gate of the Myriad Realms surpassed the perception limit of the master of the Devil Jade Tower with its casual transmigrations.
Time passed.
In the blink of an eye, another fifteen years had passed.
During these fifteen years, the Great Chu Empire entered a period of prosperity, with a significant increase in population. The founding emperor of Great Chu was hailed by the people.
The founding emperor of Great Chu openly stated that everything he did now was guided by his master.
Without his master, there would be no him, and there would be no Great Chu Empire as it was now.
The entire empire, from top to bottom, worshipped his master's memorial tablet day and night.
On a mountaintop.
Lin Yuan sat cross-legged.
"It's a pity that this world is too weak. It's not even necessary to spread the paths of martial evolution."
Lin Yuan thought to himself.
With the suppression of this almost end-time era in this world, even if Lin Yuan spread the paths of martial evolution, future martial practitioners would at most only cultivate to the Innate Realm.
Equivalent to not even reaching the First Rank.
They would be unable to delve into the core essence of the paths of martial evolution.
Thus, it would be difficult for Lin Yuan to provide any 'benefit.'
Of course, Lin Yuan did not give up on this world.
In these twenty-five years, he traveled far and wide, inscribing the paths of martial evolution onto some special metals and spreading them throughout the world.
One day in the future, when this world lifted its suppression and ended the end-time era, the paths of martial evolution would undoubtedly rise first.
"It's time to confront the heart demon calamity."
Lin Yuan made a decision.
Although there were still five years left in the residency time.
But over the past twenty-five years, Lin Yuan had pushed his Spirit Willpower to its limit.
There wasn't much significance in delaying any longer.
With this thought in mind, Lin Yuan began to actively summon the heart demon.
The heart demon calamity descended.
In a daze.
Lin Yuan opened his eyes again.
He found himself in a room.
"What is this?"
Lin Yuan hadn't examined it closely yet.
His mother, Lin Qiong, walked in. "Little Yuan, I've already asked your uncle. He said he could remove your name from the conscription quota."
Lin Qiong said with joy.
"Conscription quota?"
Lin Yuan looked puzzled. He vaguely felt that something was wrong with this sentence.
Who dared to conscript him forcibly?
"Yes, your uncle also said that he found a job for you in the government. Tomorrow, you'll go with him, and he'll arrange everything for you."
"Little Yuan, your uncle is our family's benefactor. You must be polite when you meet him."
Lin Qiong kept reminding him by the side.
"When you stabilize your job, you should find a girlfriend. By then, you two should get married, and have children early. Your father and I can help take care of them. Those robots can't take care of children at all, so let us do it."
Lin Qiong began to think about the future.
"Get married?"
"Have children?"
In Lin Yuan's eyes, faintly appeared the vortex of the starry sea.
"My journey lies in the vast universe, where galaxies spiral in silent majesty and stars blaze with the fires of creation. In the boundless celestial ocean, I will navigate through nebulae that paint the darkness with vibrant hues and past black holes that guard the mysteries of time itself.
I will tread a path paved with starlight, destined to explore the most profound depths of the universe and reach the highest place.
How can I be trapped on an ordinary planet and live an ordinary life?" Lin Yuan shouted.
He stretched lazily, stood up, and laughed heartily.
