The Choice of a Second Clone (Part One)

Before his first Secret Realm Qualification Battle, did he pass through the eleventh level of the Tongtian Bridge?

These conditions are actually not simple.

Within the Core Layer of the Virtual Universe Company, from highest to lowest, it is divided into the Original Secret Realm, the Primordial Beginning Secret Realm, the Heaven and Earth Secret Realm, and the Doomsday Secret Realm.

Being selected for the "Original Secret Realm" doesn't mean you can stay Original Secret Realm permanently. There is fierce competition in the Core Layer. The weak are kicked to a lower level of the realm, the strong stay in their own realm, and the even stronger enter a higher level.

Resources are limited.

There is no limit to talent.

Therefore, the rules for the Secret Realm Qualification Battle were established. With Lin Yan's level of Law Comprehension, which is comparable to that of the Original Secret Realm Domain Lord level, he naturally does not need to worry about being eliminated.

But--

The Cosmic level members compete in Qualification Battle once every 100 years!

In other words, Lin Yan must pass through the 11th level of the Tongtian Bridge within this hundred-year period.

Unlike back in the Initial Universe, in the Humanity's Holy Land of Chaos City, he could directly observe the Universe Origin Law manifested in the sky and comprehend the Universe Chaos Stele, so his comprehension speed was naturally much faster.

It can be said that the cultivation efficiency is more than ten times that of the Primordial Universe!

Therefore, the time given to Lin Yan by this Invincible Feng Wang Expert was equivalent to less than ten years in Chaos City. Based on his previous comprehension speed, he could at most comprehend the essence of 10 kinds of Universe Law, plus his own level of comprehension, which would amount to 30 kinds.

The requirement for the eleventh level is roughly to comprehend about 48 of the 72 most difficult essential elements.

They're worlds apart.

It can be said that if Lin Yan had not made great progress through the Cultivation Mission, it would have been very difficult for him to complete this requirement.

But!

The clarity of the Green Line Devouring Worm Clone's Law Sense is now 10 times that of before. Even outside of Chaos City, Lin Yan is confident that he can fully comprehend the Law essence within a few decades.

Even if time slows him down a bit, it's still 2.5 times faster than before. Passing through 11 levels within a hundred years won't be a problem for him.

"Are you confident?" Mu Xing Country Lord asked with a smile.

"Don't worry, teacher," Lin Yan said confidently. "I will definitely pass the eleventh level within a hundred years!"

"Hmm?" The Mu Xing Country Lord was somewhat surprised. "So confident?"

As she said this, she suddenly realized something.

A profound meaning flickered in her bright eyes. "... How many of those special crystals did your clone fuse with?"

As soon as he finished speaking...

Lin Yan immediately understood that his teacher did indeed know about his clone.

Previously, he could only be certain that the Chaos City Lord, as the Controller of the Initial Universe, would definitely be able to discover his clone.

However, he couldn't be sure whether his teacher, the Mu Xing Country Lord, knew the Inside story. He could only vaguely guess from the interference of the Chaos City Lord in his apprenticeship.

But the Mu Xing Country Lord didn't ask, and Lin Yan himself wouldn't voluntarily reveal it.

It wasn't until now that Lin Yan realized this.

"When I activate that strange power after the fusion, the clarity and strength of the Law Sense are ten times greater than usual!" Lin Yan said frankly, "That's why I have this confidence."

His real secret is still the system, which must never be exposed. This includes things like the "Desireless" secret technique, which cannot be explained. It's best not to mention them if possible. As for the others, there's no need to hide them.

Since he can't hide it for long anyway, he might as well speak up openly. The greater the potential he shows, the greater the benefits he can gain.

However, Lin Yan still had fourteen drops of the Beast God's Blood. Although it might be useless to him, it was too rare for him to keep, so he simply didn't mention it.

"Ten times?" A hint of surprise flashed in the eyes of the Mu Xing Country Lord. His good disciple seemed... to be really a bit outrageous!

The special crystals in the Blood Demon Forbidden Zone are a type of crystal with a deviated effect, created from the Beast God's Blood. Even if the Special Lifeform itself has excellent qualities and the fusion difficulty is relatively reduced, it shouldn't be ten times worse!

On Viska Star, there are almost no people who can double their power with that special crystal. Goodness, you've gone and blown it out of the water...

Although the Green Line Devouring Worm is Special Lifeform with Life Gene Level of only three hundred times, it is extremely rare. The human race has a deep understanding of it, but no powerful individual has ever truly possessed it.

It now appears that he also possesses exceptional talent in the path of the Beast God, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to achieve this.

"Very good." The Mu Xing Country Lord shook his head and smiled, his bright eyes carrying a hint of a smile. "In the billions of epochs of Human history, we have seen many geniuses with extraordinary opportunities and talents, but someone like you is truly unheard of."

"It can nurture the Special Lifeform form of the Green Line Devouring Worm into an avatar at the Stellar level, and even more so, it can boost its body's genes to 10 times the original level during its first Cultivation Mission at the Cosmic level."

The Mu Xing Country Lord reminded him, "It's best to keep your possession of the Green Line Devouring Worm Clone a secret from others, and don't publicize your fusion with that crystal and the transformation of your body."

Her star-like gaze fell upon Lin Yan: "You have such potential, and your clan will certainly provide you with the best resources to nurture you. But you must also understand that even if you are thousands of times Special Lifeform, you are meaningless before reaching my level."

"Therefore, we must guard against arrogance and impetuosity."

"Thank you for your guidance, Teacher." Lin Yan smiled, then looked troubled. "To be honest, I do have a problem that I would like to ask for help from the clan and the teacher."

Oh my god!

The Mu Xing Country Lord fell silent for a moment. "I just said that I would use the best resources to nurture you, and you really came right away!"

"Tell me about it," she said.

"Actually, my disciple's talent 'clone' can give him one more chance to create clones at the Planetary level, Cosmic level, and World Lord level respectively," Lin Yan said with a smile. "I obtained the Green Line Devouring Worm by chance at the Stellar level, but I couldn't find suitable materials for clones at the Cosmic level."

He seemed sunny, cheerful, and harmless. "So, I'd like to ask the teacher for some advice."

Lin Yan was too embarrassed to bring this up before, but since the King of Mu Xing Country Lord had taken the initiative, he naturally followed suit.

If you don't take advantage of a good deal, you're a coward.

"You're quite the cunning one," the Mu Xing Country Lord couldn't help but laugh and scold.

Lin Yan explained, "Teacher, you've misunderstood me. I was just thinking that the greater my power, the greater the contribution I can make to the clan."

He waved his hand dismissively, his voice righteous and awe-inspiring. "How could I possibly disregard the arrangements made for me by my own pride! I, Lin Yan, am absolutely not that kind of selfish person!"

emmm...

You're quite proud of it!

"Fine, I won't argue with you, you little rascal. Consider it a reward for your diligent cultivation." Mu Xing Country Lord shook his head and chuckled.

Upon hearing this, Lin Yan was immediately overjoyed.

There's hope!

The time he was able to eat the Green Line Devouring Worm was due to a stroke of good luck. You can't always rely on that. If Cosmic level being wants to come into contact with Special Lifeform and have the option to choose, it's impossible to do it on their own.

Effort does not guarantee success.

But you can succeed without putting in the effort.

While Special Lifeform are rare, it's perfectly normal for this person to have some treasures.

Suddenly--

Wow!

Spatial transformation.

Lin Yan looked around and saw an endless starry sky before him, ethereal and silent, boundless and limitless.

"Hmm?" He looked at the Mu Xing Country Lord beside him, puzzled, and couldn't understand why he had been brought here.

Before the Mu Xing Country Lord could answer.

"Oh..." A melodious and ethereal sound echoed throughout the universe. A creature resembling a whale, spanning 100,000 kilometers, swam in the sea of stars. Its crystal-forged body seemed to be the Cosmic Essence, and its golden eyes shone like the sun, radiating an aura of power.

Moment.

The whole place became lively.

Rumble...

With two ferocious heads, four thick hooves, and a body covered in scales, the blood-red beast moved slowly like a mountain range. Its murderous aura soared into the sky in an instant, as if it were a peerless ferocious beast that had emerged from hell.

"Waaah!"

Special Lifeform, a bird with scales and wings, stretching over nine thousand kilometers, transformed into a black streak of light. Wherever it passed, distant stars and planets were instantly Annihilation simply by being touched by the black light.

Now.

A group of strange and Special Lifeform display their divine power in the starry sky.

"There are a total of thirty-four Special Lifeform here, all below the immortal level, with varying Life Gene Level. I have the Body Material for each of them, and you can choose any one."

The Mu Xing Country Lord said softly, "Of course, the higher the Gene Level, the less likely you are to be able to utilize it right now."

Happy National Day everyone!
