Inside Lin Yan's crystal core.

The world is boundless, and there is nothing of substance here, just a void. This Void Space is connected to the endless energy in the crystal core. Apart from Lin Yan himself and the clone born from this Void Space, no other life can enter.

Brush!

The Green Line Devouring Worm suddenly appeared in this Void Space. Its entire body was covered with Streamlined Scales, and green threads were wrapped around the complex Green Scale Armor, showing Split Spirit divinity.

The nearly 100-meter-tall Green Line Devouring Worm slowly spread out its two pairs of blade-like wings. At the same time, the endless energy within its crystal core surged wildly into the Void Space, transforming into sparkling, shimmering water that enveloped the Green Line Devouring Worm's scales and was continuously absorbed. Its entire body began to undergo astonishing changes.

Call!

The mysterious green patterns on the Green Line Devouring Worm lit up, and its entire scales were covered with shimmering light. These shimmering lights seemed to form new energy channels, which quickly penetrated into the 360 key energy acupoints throughout the Green Line Devouring Worm's body.

This shimmering radiance is actually a manifestation of "Cosmic Essence." In order to ensure that he could break through to the Domain Lord level at any time, Lin Yan absorbed enough Cosmic Essence through his talent "Rooting" after encountering some special Life Planet in the "Mizong Galaxy."

Hiss...

The blue light was like mist or gauze.

Strange Chrysalis Shell slowly wove onto the body of the Green Line Devouring Worm. The Chrysalis Shell were covered with incredibly mysterious patterns, with a diameter of over 800 meters. Venom flowed on the surface, and poisonous gas spread out like clouds and mist, making the Chrysalis Shell appear indistinct and blurry.

Boom!

In the Void Space, crystal-clear water continuously surged forth, enveloping the strange Chrysalis Shell, and a large amount of pure energy flowed into it.

Lin Yan vaguely sensed that the body structure of the Green Line Devouring Worm was beginning to disintegrate. This was a special evolutionary process of the Green Line Devouring Worm. When it was in the pupal development stage, the insect's body did not move, but changes were taking place inside its body.

Some of the original organs and tissues are destroyed, and new organs and tissues gradually form. This stage is also the most vulnerable stage for the Green Line Devouring Worm.

Suddenly--

A powerful aura emanated from the Chrysalis Shell.

Meanwhile, in A World within the World Ring, a Transparent Crystal with 10081 facets is currently suspended in mid-air, its surface covered with countless mysterious patterns, faintly radiating a dazzling brilliance.

Boom!

An incomparably powerful aura of law enveloped the surrounding area for thousands of kilometers, with emerald green runes flowing around it, radiating light, and the intense fluctuations of the Origin Law made people tremble involuntarily.

"Rumble..." The surrounding space trembled slightly.

A dazzling, emerald-green droplet appeared out of thin air above the crystal core. The droplet was crystal clear, like jade, and contained endless life force before it fell directly to the ground.

As if piercing through nothingness, penetrating the crystal core, the last drop of emerald green water dripped and seeped in.

Within the crystal core are the Soul Crystal and the Origin Force Crystal, which are Lin Yan's power core and Soul Core.

"Hiss..."

The emerald green water droplet was quickly and completely absorbed by the transparent crystal core, and a vine-like emerald green secret pattern slowly appeared on it before gradually disappearing.

Deep in the Prison Realm Mountain.

"I never expected that when the Green Line Devouring Worm Clone broke through to the Domain Lord level, I would officially gain the recognition of the Wood Origin Law. It was quite an unexpected surprise." Lin Yan smiled.

He had already gained recognition from the Light Origin Law long ago, so this process was naturally very familiar to him.

Although the Green Line Devouring Worm Clone's talent was higher than his original self, Lin Yan spent ten years observing and comprehending the "Moon-Swallowing Seven-Colored Whale" in the Ancestor God Tomb. He grasped the Law of Light very quickly, but devoted relatively little energy to the Law of Wood.

Certainly.

For Lin Yan now, this is a meaningful thing, but not too important. It doesn't matter if it happens sooner or later.

"Unlike other life forms, the Green Line Devouring Worm Clone takes a certain amount of time to evolve and transform. It will take about a month before it can successfully evolve and grow into its second form."

The Green Line Devouring Worm has broken through to the Cosmic level, that is, the first form in its youth stage: the Qingfu Mengchong!

Upon breaking through to the Domain Lord level, one can evolve into the second form, which is in its prime: the Void Chi Worm!

Once they reach the World Lord level and generate their third form, they will reach the most perfect state of the Green Line Devouring Worm and enter their peak period.

"The Void Chi Worm, it's truly something to look forward to." Lin Yan's eyes held a hint of anticipation, and at the same time, he himself officially began to evolve.

Although his true core is the "crystal core," due to the special nature of his "clone" talent, Lin Yan's true soul, the "crystal core," can be placed in any of his clones.

But...

Consciousness needs a carrier, so there is also a beautiful and brilliant Vortex Galaxy in Lin Yan's sea of consciousness.

And the same is true in his Dantian.

With a thought, Lin Yan's left arm, covered by the Force Battle Suit, slowly lit up with the Law Secret Patterns on the Black Armguards. The energy source "Star Flame Crystal" inside was instantly infused with energy, and a mighty torrent of energy surged into Lin Yan's body.

"Boom!"

In an instant, Lin Yan absorbed the torrent of energy, which rapidly transformed his body, increasing the hardness of his bones and making them denser.

An incredible change occurs in the bone marrow, meridians, muscles, skin, and so on. The body's genetic material is also rapidly decomposing and recombining, undergoing a transformation in its essential structure!

His body became increasingly indestructible, and his cellular activity became stronger. From the Cosmic level to the domain lord, that was a leap in physical fitness!

Several hours later.

"Domain Lord, you're quite interesting."

Lin Yan examined the changes in himself after his breakthrough.

Upon reaching the level of Cosmic level domain master, the galaxy was completely swallowed by Black Hole, and the supermassive Black Hole collapsed to form a "singularity," which is the gray sphere that appeared in the crystal core when Lin Yan broke through.

Domain Lord, your soul resides within the "Singularity," also known as the "Life Core"!

As a "singularity" that is an extremely small point that has devoured countless galaxies, a world will gradually be born within it. This gestation will continue throughout the entire process from the first level of Domain Lord to the Domain Lord ninth stage!

When the gestation is fully successful, a fundamental transformation will occur, and the gestated world will become a real world!

At that time, he will be the World Master!

The World Master a world unto itself within his body. He can wield the "World Power" with a wave of his hand, and he can enable people to live, store things, and so on, just like the real world!

Because Lin Yan's singularity is fused with the crystal core, his physical evolution and breakthrough process is almost the same as before, except that it is impossible for him to generate a new Life Core.

He only had a Soul Crystal Ball condensed inside his body, which was exactly the same as the soul inside the crystal core. The only difference was that... the soul inside the crystal core was the most important.

The Vortex Galaxy within the Dantian also condenses into an Origin Crystal Ball. With the Soul Crystal Ball and the Origin Crystal Ball as its two cores, it can exist in any part of the body, in the sea of consciousness in the head, in the Dantian, or even in any location such as the arms or chest, releasing mental power and Origin Force.

From the Apprentice Level to the Cosmic level, the soul resides in the sea of consciousness. Therefore, the highest level of chip implantation is the ability to control Cosmic level powerhouse, and the highest level of slave trading is the Cosmic level slave.

"However, these Soul Crystal Ball and Origin Crystal Ball are not very important to me; they are just energy." Lin Yan thought to himself.

If it were a normal Flesh-type life form, it would surely die once its Soul Crystal Ball and Origin Crystal Ball collapsed... But for Lin Yan, as long as it is not Soul Control, it will not affect his true Life Core, and he can easily reconstitute his body in the crystal core.

"However, breaking through to immortality may be a huge challenge for me."

Please note!

To become an immortal, World Master must break free from the 'shackles' of their Inner World and merge with some Space Fragments in the cracks of the universe to form a truly stable and powerful space—a divine kingdom!

The "shackles" here are the "singularity".

The singularity will continue to solidify and become harder as strength grows, making it extremely difficult to break through.

For Lin Yan, this difficulty is countless times greater than that of ordinary people, because his singularity is integrated into the crystal core, completely fused with the crystal core, and the fused crystal core is even harder.

But.

Lin Yan's crystal core itself incorporates the prototype of "Light Web Crystal". One can imagine how unshakeable the crystal core will be when he reaches the World Lord ninth stage.

However, there are also advantages. When he becomes World Master, his Inner World will be so large that it is unimaginable to ordinary people. The same is true for the God Kingdom after he enters immortality!

"The universe is fair. For creatures like the Starry Sky Beast and the Zerg Mother Queen, the difficulty of breaking through to immortality is ridiculously high. Not to mention me, not only is it difficult to break through the shackles of the crystal core, but I will also inevitably give birth to three heaven-defying Special Life Clone, which will also create some special difficulties and obstacles."

This is a manifestation of the Laws of Cosmic Operation: every sip and every bite is intertwined with fortune and misfortune.

However, once you overcome difficulties and setbacks, you will gain even greater strength.

Lin Yan smiled nonchalantly, "In the eyes of others, my chances of becoming Universe Venerable are now almost 100%. Could it be that I can't become an Immortal?"

He hadn't even considered that possibility.

Lin Yan has now developed a sharp edge, an indomitable spirit. No matter what difficulties he encounters, he has full confidence and will never be discouraged.

Inside Lin Yan's crystal core.

At this moment, Lin Yan's soul was in the form of a condensed crystal ball. In the center of this crystal ball, one could vaguely see a strange pure black flower. At first glance, it was a black lotus flower, but upon closer inspection, one could discover that it was composed of countless incredibly mysterious patterns. The patterns were intricate and perfectly integrated.

Mist flowed out from the black lotus, creating endless environments, while countless golden lines covered the surface of the crystal sphere, the golden lines being extremely mysterious.

A wisp of mist drifted around the Soul Crystal Ball, which was Lin Yan's spiritual power. Countless strands of mental energy were condensing into secret patterns, and a large number of secret patterns were transmitted into the Soul Crystal Ball, causing the golden patterns in the soul to gradually increase.

The more golden patterns there are in the soul, the stronger the Psionic Amplitude will become.

"I have broken through to the Domain Lord level. The 'Desireless' secret technique previously reached the limit of my soul, and now I can continue to cultivate it." Lin Yan felt a surge of joy.

The Psionic Amplitude Strength can bring a huge boost to strength. Moreover, the subsequent secret techniques of his "Heavenly Demon Transformation" require continuous cultivation of the "Desireless" secret technique to obtain.

Both "Desirelessness" and "Heavenly Demon Bell" are of paramount importance to Lin Yan, making him even more eager for the subsequent secret techniques.

"However, merely breaking through to the Domain Lord level will only have a very limited effect. Only by obtaining the 'Clear Soul Yuan Dew' can my soul truly undergo a great transformation!"

Lin Yan thought to himself, "However, this is not urgent. The most important thing right now is not these things."

His anticipation surged, and then, on a whim, he opened the system.

[Congratulations on breaking through to the Domain Lord level! You have received the reward: Golden Framework!]

Lin Yan was somewhat puzzled. He had always benefited from the system's breakthrough rewards, and he had been eyeing this Domain Lord level reward for a long time.

The Cosmic level is a complete set of Soul-type secret technique "Heavenly Demon Transformation". So what is this "Golden Framework"?

As he was about to investigate, he vaguely sensed a change deep within his soul.

He began to sense it and eventually observed a golden spot of light within it, exceptionally bright and magnificent.

"Um?"

Lin Yan pondered for a moment, his consciousness touching the golden light spot.

Wow!

The point of light instantly began to emit light, and the moment the brilliant Golden Holy Light enveloped Lin Yan immediately felt his will extend and begin to naturally permeate into a brand new world.

The surging golden energy was incredibly pure and dazzling, as if a golden river was flowing into it. It felt like an incomparably high-level energy, and the entire world had been transformed into a golden kingdom.

Splash...

Like the sound of countless waves, Golden Ancient God emerged from an ocean of golden energy. These ancient gods wore long robes, walked barefoot, and were surrounded by halos of light. Their power was immense, and golden celestial dragons accompanied them wherever they went.

Boom!

Lin Yan was deeply shaken, feeling as if he were witnessing the birth of an ancient myth.

"What, what is this?"

Just one glance is enough to feel the greatness of the Life Origin, the fundamental difference in the Life Level, transcending Time, Space, and evoke a deep sense of awe and reverence from the depths of one's soul.

Looking again, those Golden Ancient God had vanished like bubbles.

In the center of the Golden Kingdom, a single drop of Golden Blood, the size of a fist, hung suspended. Its aura was pure, without any impurities, radiating brilliant light, and one could almost hear the whispers of the gods.

Supreme!

Eternal and immortal!

It exudes an aura of eternity and antiquity, through which one can vaguely see a Golden Era of the universe. Countless Law Threads flow within the Golden Blood, endlessly complex, yet Lin Yan cannot comprehend even the slightest bit of it, as it completely exceeds his understanding of the universe and the world.

"What is this?" At this moment, Lin Yan's mind was in a whirl.

Unbelievable!

Unparalleled!

Suddenly--

A faint message emanated from the surging aura of that Golden Blood, rapidly flowing into Lin Yan's soul.

Immortal Material!

Golden Blood!

Lin Yan's pupils dilated, his heart filled with shock, and an incredulous feeling swept over his mind.

"Golden Framework..."

"So that's how it is, so that's how it is!" Lin Yan was overjoyed and could clearly feel his heart pounding wildly.

Because...

What he is touching now may be the most mysterious realm in the universe!

This is a message that drives the body's genes to evolve proactively, and a method for continuously transforming the Life Level!

For ordinary life forms in the universe, the evolutionary leaps of bodily genes only happen a few times, from Apprentice Level to Planetary level, Planetary level to Stellar level, Stellar level to Cosmic level, Cosmic level to Domain Lord level, and Domain Lord level to World Lord level.

Only by breaking through these barriers can one achieve a leap in the body's genes. Immortal beings are all pondering the Universe Law, and their bodies have long been unable to evolve.

The Gene Level of a normal life form is 1, while Lin Yan's level is 50 after activating the Beast God Power. The Special Lifeform "Green Line Devouring Worm" has Cosmic level of 1000 because it absorbed the Beast God's Blood!

Every treasure that elevates one's Gene Level is incredibly precious!

Furthermore, defying the laws of nature to drive physical evolution, causing human genes to continuously leap and improve, transcends the Universe Rule and is something that even the Laws of Cosmic Operation would want to erase!

Lin Yan took a deep breath.

Of course he knew! How could he not know?

In the original work, the Mountain Master created a heaven-defying secret technique called the "Nine Tribulations Scripture." This secret technique is such that even if the "Nine Tribulations Scripture" is taught, the Laws of Cosmic Operation will automatically erase the cultivator's memory. The Mountain Master recorded it with a special treasure called the "Heavenly Soul Crystal," so that it would not be erased by the Laws of Cosmic Operation.

And the first part of this Heavenly Soul Crystal is currently on Earth!

In the original novel, Luo Feng returned to Earth after becoming Domain Lord level, and only then did he obtain it, enabling him to upgrade his Gene Level to Perfect Gene with the help of the "Nine Tribulations Scripture" and the Beast God's Blood.

10081 times!

Speaking of which, Lin Yan had spent so much time on Earth and had actually tried to find this "Heavenly Soul Crystal." Regardless of how to deal with it, finding it would have been necessary, but he hadn't managed to find it.

As for the system's opportunity function, when he was on Earth, there was only one important opportunity that was shown, which was the "Yun Mo Star Inheritance". Perhaps this Heavenly Soul Crystal is not on Earth at all now, or it may already have an owner.

After all, it was the Mountain Master who instructed his eldest disciple, "Pu Ti," to make the arrangements.

Speaking of which...

The cultivation method of the "Nine Tribulations Scripture" is to perfectly combine the Origin Crystal Ball, the Soul Crystal Ball and the body, and simulate the formation of a cosmic cycle within the body, simulating an "Inner Universe", and slowly promoting the evolution of the body's genes.

The "Golden Framework" is different.

It is by constantly transforming and remodeling its own body, changing it in various specific ways, slowly condensing Immortal Material, and finally forming a brand-new Immortal Material structure, ultimately becoming a "great" life!

Lin Yan simply analyzed the endless and complex information and knew that compared to cultivating the "Nine Tribulations Scripture," Luo Feng's Clone Talent made cultivation much easier. The "Golden Framework" was far more difficult, somewhat similar to his later "Life Structure Diagram" route.

But.

This also allows for greater room for imagination.

"Luo Feng later pursued the Divine Power route and studied the Life Structure Diagram, which was inseparable from the help of the Nine Nether Blood Sea Clone. Without the Remote Sea Clone, the difficulty would have been absolutely terrifying."

Lin Yan pondered this point repeatedly, realizing that it was indeed of great reference value to him.

The Remote Sea Clone Talent Secret Method, "Creation," can refine energy, combine Life Gene, and ultimately condense life. This is the best aid for Luo Feng's research on "Life Gene."

But...

"Nine Nether Blood Sea?" Lin Yan frowned slightly. That was the "Nine Nether Space-Time" from the Ancestor God Cult Ancestor God Secret Realm, which involved an extremely powerful universe master— the Lord of Nine Nether!

How could he possibly have any ideas about this now?

Moreover, the lowest level of life in the Nine Nether Blood Sea is at the World Lord level, so it's not something we should be considering right now.

Lin Yan pondered, "Even if we really want to take over the Nine Nether Blood Sea, that's a long time from now. But I already have a treasure trove. Should I just put it aside and not even try to enter?"

This is something Lin Yan finds hard to accept.

His mind raced as he pondered.

It only lasted a moment.

"No!" Lin Yan murmured, his eyes brightening. "... For me, the most valuable thing is not that 'Nine Nether Blood Sea' at all!"

He couldn't help but burst into laughter. "Hahaha... Teacher, you've really helped me a lot!"

Lin Yan was so excited that he could hardly contain himself.

Decades ago, when Lin Yan sought help from his teacher Mu Xing Country Lord, regarding the issue of his second clone, she had already provided Lin Yan with an optimal solution among the many options available!

In an instant, a colossal, ferocious beast, resembling a blood-red mountain range, appeared in his mind. It had two hideous heads, four thick hooves, and exuded endless malevolent energy that soared into the sky!

It was like a ferocious beast that had emerged from hell.

—Blood Hound!
