Ecstatic! An Astonishing Opportunity!

Lin Yan was traveling through the Wu Long Star Domain at a speed of approximately 280,000 kilometers per second.

The speed of light is the speed limit of the Primordial Universe. Once accelerated to the speed of light, it is "kicked" into the Dark Universe, completing the Cosmic Shuttle.

Each Immortal God is capable of physically traversing the universe.

Almost none of the World Master can achieve this. Even the World Lord peak lords have a speed limit of 150,000 kilometers per second. The main reason is that the World Master' physical qualities are not good enough. Relying solely on physical acceleration, as the speed increases, the load on the body also increases exponentially.

If we consider only Lin Yan's own physical qualities, his Gene Level has improved with the revival of the "Light Web Crystal," and is now close to sixty times higher. In addition, he has an "Steel Body," is naturally powerful, and has a profound understanding of the Law of Light and Space-Time Law.

Even without relying on the power of "Hun An" possession, achieving the speed of light is not difficult.

Moreover, he also has the Yongluo Armor and the Tai Sui Armor, which will completely resist the load generated during acceleration and will not have any effect on Lin Yan at all.

Flying over one Garbage Mountain after another.

The flight took a full 17 days.

"Master, we've found it!" Wind Queen suddenly said.

Lin Yan was somewhat surprised. "It's only been 17 days, and it's already been found?"

He only diverted a sliver of his consciousness to search for treasure, while the majority of his consciousness and the Green Line Devouring Worm Clone continued to comprehend the laws or cultivate secret techniques. This would not have a significant impact on him, so he was prepared for a protracted battle.

Even with the aid of detectors, finding "Feather Snail Sky Gold" within a range of one hundred billion kilometers is no easy task if one is unlucky.

It's incredibly lucky that we were able to find it in just 17 days.

"Master, the location of 'Feather Snail Sky Gold' has been determined. I will now transmit the Space Coordinates into your communication wristband!"

A moment later.

A strange spot of light appeared on the monitor screen on Lin Yan's arm guard.

"Um."

Lin Yan glanced around, then quickly approached a Garbage Mountain, gradually crawling deeper inside.

The entire Garbage Mountain was hundreds of thousands of kilometers in diameter, filled with all sorts of, even rotten, debris, and Lin Yan kept crawling inside.

They drilled to a depth of tens of thousands of kilometers.

With his invisible mental power Lin Yan forced open a path through the surrounding debris and garbage, and after traveling approximately 40,000 kilometers, he finally stopped.

Ahead, a semi-transparent golden metal was floating in the air, and all other objects around it were squeezed away by Lin Yan's mental power.

Judging from its size, it's significantly larger than the images we saw in the Virtual Universe before.

Lin Yan's eyes lit up.

With a thought, the "Feather Snail Sky Gold" that had been floating suddenly flew into his hand. Upon closer inspection, one could see Green Silk Threads, forming a simple pattern.

"Not bad." Lin Yan smiled with satisfaction. "I spent a total of 60 million points to purchase those 10,000 World Lord peak Zerg corpse units, while the value of this 'Feather Snail Sky Gold' is at least 110 million points."

"Not only did I not spend any money, I actually made a profit."

Not only that.

Rare and precious metals like "Feather Snail Sky Gold" are extremely rare and hard to find even in the universe. They are very difficult to purchase even among human populations, and require extremely high access levels.

The wealth of the powerful is almost entirely comprised of fixed assets.

For example, the Celestial Origin Wheel, Divine Weapon Blade, Black Phoenix Armor, Inheritance Crystal, etc. are all fixed assets. Even if they are no longer applicable to powerful individuals, these precious treasures are not something they are willing to sell.

Because treasures can be exchanged for money, but money can not necessarily be exchanged for enough treasures.

The only option was to "barter".

Therefore, Lin Yan wouldn't care too much about top-tier G-grade metals like "Star Tear Gold." He would dispose of them as needed and could purchase them from the Virtual Universe Company whenever necessary. However, rare and precious cosmic metals like "Feather Snail Sky Gold" could be preserved.

If you urgently need a certain treasure one day, trading with others will be much more convenient.

Lin Yan put the "Feather Snail Sky Gold" into his World Ring. Although the rule was that the maximum number of items that could be carried in the Garbage Mountain was 100 medium-sized World Ring, and it was forbidden to carry more.

But this is not the World Ring of surveillance.

The monitoring system of the Wu Long Star Domain can detect the volume of all objects within the starfield. The items that Lin Yan took will be calculated by the system, and once the volume accumulates to 100,000 kilometers in length, width and height, it will be recorded.

After taking the "Feather Snail Sky Gold", Lin Yan headed to the nearest docking point and continued to travel through Cosmic Shuttle his spaceship, randomly stopping at a point within the Wu Long Star Domain.

If the opportunity suggested by the system is likely not even worth tens of millions of Hun Yuan Unit in Lin Yan's judgment, Lin Yan is too lazy to waste time on it, meaning it is not worth searching for.

Then they continued their Cosmic Shuttle to the next point.

One of the observation points in the Wu Long Star Domain.

A lean man with Black Scale Armor covering his head sat silently on his bed, looking up at the detailed surveillance map of the entire Wu Long Star Domain projected on the screen.

The entire star field was under surveillance, with countless points of light appearing in various parts of the monitoring map.

No one can escape surveillance as long as they are in the cargo storage area of Wu Long Star Domain.

"C93 area, zoom in."

Drop!

On one of the surveillance images for C93 on the screen, a red dot is constantly moving.

"No. 1, Lin Yan?"

The lean man stared silently at the surveillance image with his dark green eyes. As an observer within the Wu Long Star Domain, every observer could see the surveillance image. If a problem occurred with the surveillance at a certain point in the starfield, these observers would immediately discover it and immediately go to repair or reinstall it.

After all...

Monitoring a star field with a diameter of millions of light-years is an incredibly difficult task. With so many instruments monitoring it, it's easy for some of them to malfunction.

"NO.1 has been on Taobao for over two years, and the task assigned to me by the organization is... to wait."

"And monitor NO.1's movements during this period." The lean man's eyes were utterly cold.

He is the number one assassin among the Zerg's lurking pawns within the Wu Long Star Domain, number 6.

If it were any other genius, Number 6 wouldn't need to wait this long; he could have started the operation much earlier, because an Immortal God has always been hidden within his Inner World!

This Immortal God was possessed and Soul Control Zerg. Because his identity was exposed and he could not remain hidden, he was fortunate enough to escape back to the Zerg Territory Divine Kingdom Teleportation.

Having no value for infiltration, these controlled Alien Race Immortal God are generally used as cannon fodder or weapons.

Place an Immortal God within the Inner World of a chess piece... ready to fight at crucial moments!

The price of a "technological weapon" capable of killing Immortal God is incredibly high, while a controlled Alien Race Immortal God is much more cost-effective. Moreover, even World Master wielding a technological weapon is not as effective as a true Immortal God in battle.

This!

That's number 6's real killer move!

"Wait!"

"If the organization can successfully send an even more powerful Immortal God into its ranks before NO.1 leaves the Wu Long Star Domain, then NO.1's death is imminent!"

It's highly unlikely that an ordinary Immortal God within him could kill Lin Yan.

This is, after all, the Wu Long Star Domain, where opportunities to create are very short-lived and fleeting.

And in such a short time, how could Lin Yan be killed?

Not to mention that Lin Yan must have other trump cards, the Marquis level defensive armor "Yongluo Armor"... Lin Yan is obviously wearing it, so this information should definitely be able to be gathered.

Ordinary Immortal God are prone to problems.

We must have greater power.

However, sending an even more powerful Immortal God into the Wu Long Star Domain is not a simple matter; it will take time.

The lean man watched Lin Yan's strange movements within the Wu Long Star Domain, waiting silently.

Spaceship control room.

"Call!"

Lin Yan sat on the sofa in the control room and let out a deep breath. "It seems like our good luck has run out."

"I have been searching for treasures in the Wu Long Star Domain for two years and four months. Although I have made some gains, there has been no opportunity that has met my expectations."

He picked up the fruit wine, took a small sip, and shook his head.

Wind Queen said, "Master, this is just Garbage Star Domain after all. The possibility of finding a treasure that meets your requirements here is extremely slim. Unless a treasure of that level has been specially disguised, it is almost impossible for it to appear in the Garbage Mountain."

"Let's wait until the Green Line Devouring Worm becomes stronger before searching in the Cosmic Secret Realm. At least the probability will be much higher."

What level of performance does it meet Lin Yan's expectations?

It should at least be at the level of a "Divine Envoy Inheritance Crystal".

While this level of quality isn't particularly unusual—there are many treasures comparable to the Divine Envoy Inheritance Crystal in the hands of countless Feng Wang expert in the Outer Domain Battlefield —it's highly unlikely to find one in Garbage Star Domain.

Are there any in the Garbage Star Domain?

Of course there will be.

This is a vast area of millions of light-years, accumulated over billions of years; the treasures that no one has ever sought must certainly exist.

However, Lin Yan cannot stay here searching for treasure forever.

King Long Jue gifted him 100 World Ring, each of which could be used for one year, theoretically for a total of 100 years. If he wished, this time could be extended.

However, Lin Yan wasn't without other options. There was no reason for him to fight to the death here. He could have reached the highest level of the human race by now if he had used that time to cultivate properly. Why would he care about the treasures here?

It's just to meet the current needs.

"Hmm." Lin Yan nodded slightly and ordered, "Alright, the harvest this time is already quite substantial. Wind Queen, we'll stop a few more times later, fill up those 100 World Ring, and then leave the Wu Long Star Domain."

At this point, he remembered something.

"Speaking of which, the fact that we didn't encounter any assassination attempts by Alien Race... I guess we weren't confident enough."

Lin Yan understood that the Alien Race wasn't stupid to do this kind of assassination work; they would have guessed that he had someone protecting him.

But he didn't care.

In the two years or so that Taobao has been around.

Lin Yan's biggest gain was the "Feather Snail Sky Gold" he found at the beginning of Taobao. After that, he found four other treasures, with a total value of approximately 25 million to 70 million points. Together with the "Feather Snail Sky Gold", he had about 300 million points.

The main issue is the short duration.

Lin Yan was too lazy to waste time on items worth less than ten million points, especially when it came to finding one treasure, which took him more than seven months.

However, treasures worth "tens of millions of points" are extremely rare in the Garbage Star Domain, and are almost impossible to find.

"Yes, Master," Wind Queen replied.

The spaceship quickly came to a stop at the nearest docking point.

Lin Yan out of the spaceship, randomly found a Garbage Mountain, and collected a large amount of alloy debris into the World Ring that had been given to him.

Although it's not worth much, it's actually quite useful.

It can be used as one of the raw materials for breeding Zerg Warrior in the Zerg Mother Nest. E-grade alloy is already considered a very high-end raw material, and it is everywhere here.

With a length, width, and height of 100,000 kilometers, the Earth could hold hundreds or thousands of them. What an enormous capacity!

Lin Yan owns 100 of these World Rings.

It was just something he did on a whim; Lin Yan was still very thrifty and hardworking.

Lin Yan filled 20 World Ring here, and then, not minding the trouble, changed the docking point again, just to check a few more places one last time.

Wow!

The Emperor Ship rapidly decelerated and came to a stop in the Dark Universe, then shuttled back to its Primordial Universe.

Instantly!

"Huh?" Lin Yan suddenly stood up, his mind sensing the information that appeared in the system, his expression one of astonishment.

"It's... it's actually..."

He couldn't help but exclaim excitedly, "I actually managed to find this thing in the Wu Long Star Domain!"

Seeing his reaction, Wind Queen knew that her master must have discovered something amazing, and couldn't help but ask curiously, "Master, what did you discover?"

Lin Yan suppressed his excitement with difficulty and looked at the towering Garbage Mountain outside the spaceship. His gaze was deep and he sighed softly, "I see a desolate civilization, which once... had a brilliant glory in history."

The lines of text that appeared on the system at that moment were chilling.

[Important Opportunity Discovered: Sacrifice Secret Pattern!]

In the distant past, the native inhabitants of the Yan Ji Continent were suddenly struck by a cataclysmic disaster. Almost all life on the Yan Ji Continent was wiped out, and in this calamity, the secret of the Yan Ji Tribe —the "Sacrifice Secret Pattern"—also vanished completely.

[Sacrifice Secret Pattern: A special path discovered and comprehended by the powerful ancestors of the Yan Ji Tribe in a Cosmic Secret Realm. Through generations of additions by the Yan Ji Tribe, it has become all-encompassing and is divided into two types: "Solid Secret Pattern" and "Void Secret Pattern."]

[Complete heritage, possesses immense value, opportunity level determined: Flood!]

[Should we activate the opportunity?]

[Yes/No] (Domain Lord level Activation Count: 4/4)

Virtual Universe, Original Zone.

At the desk.

Lin Yan searched for various information about "Sacrifice Secret Pattern" in the Virtual Universe System. Combined with his understanding of the original work, the information he gathered truly told him... what the opportunity he was facing was.

"Yan Ji Continent: The highest-level combat zone within the control range of the Barracks Base 026 of the Seventh Battlefield, with a maximum diameter of 1.8 light-years on the Main Continent."

"When the Seventh Starfield Battlefield was first opened, the Four Great Peak Races swept across many regions, including the Yan Ji Continent. The original inhabitants of the Yan Ji Continent, the Yan Ji Tribe, were wiped out, except for a very few who escaped. All other life forms were exterminated by the Soul Attack of a large group of Universe Venerable!"

Lin Yan stared at the screen in front of him, memorizing every word on it.

That's how cruel the universe is.

The cosmic races can be divided into four types: peak races, powerful races, ordinary races, and weak races.

Even the weakest race in the universe should not be underestimated, otherwise they would not have the right to survive in the universe at all.

Before their extinction, the Yan Ji Tribe was an "ordinary race," with fewer than ten Universe Venerable within their ranks. Compared to the powerful beings from the Four Great Peak Races who had opened up the battlefield, they were nothing more than ants.

The rise of every ethnic group is stained with blood.

The same applies to human populations.

Lin Yan did not feel any pity or sorrow for this history, because he knew that if the human race declined, the fate it would face would be even more cruel.

Lin Yan silently thought to himself, "This is the universe."

From the perspective of Clan War, there is no mercy, no retreat.

Taking a step back means Myriad Tribulations!

Although the Yan Ji Tribe is just an ordinary clan, it does have something special about it. The powerful ancestors of the Yan Ji Tribe accidentally discovered and comprehended a path to becoming a powerful being in the Cosmic Secret Realm!

Sacrifice Secret Pattern!

Sacrifice Secret Pattern are divided into "Solid Secret Pattern" and "Void Secret Pattern".

The Solid Secret Pattern is the most basic application of the "Sacrifice Secret Pattern", and its main representative is the "Sacrifice Tower".

The Sacrifice Tower has now become a legend on the Yan Ji Continent.

It is said that the Sacrifice Tower was created in a mysterious way, so much so that even the Universe Venerable could not destroy it, explore it, or detect it with detectors.

Each Sacrifice Tower served as a survival base for the indigenous peoples of the Yan Ji Continent during their escape, containing endless treasures—treasures belonging to the entire race. Some of these treasures were directly seized by the Four Great Peak Races in the past, while others were hidden somewhere on the Yan Ji Continent.

In reality, the Sacrifice Tower contains countless Sacrifice Secret Pattern, which ultimately form numerous abilities such as repulsion detection and Space Lock.

Solid Secret Pattern require a carrier. Although they are extremely useful, they also have great limitations and cannot be effectively used in combat.

Thus, the ancestors of the Yan Ji Tribe eventually created a more powerful "Void Secret Pattern" and forged the highest achievement of the Yan Ji Tribe's civilization— the Secret Pattern Weapon!

Countless years of painstaking crafting have yielded fewer than a hundred pieces; they are truly family treasures.

Each Secret Pattern Weapon contains Void Secret Pattern with complex structures. Once an energy source is provided, these Void Secret Pattern can be dispersed in the void.

The range of dispersion is entirely within the control range.

For example, the "Locking Arm" that Luo Feng obtained in the original work has the function of completely locking the Space Fluctuation within the "Void Secret Pattern" dispersion area.

Cannot teleport!

It is equivalent to the ultimate technique of Space Law, "Space Lock".

The Secret Pattern Weapon that is equivalent to "Time Stop" is even more valuable and terrifying!

Lin Yan regained consciousness instantly, feeling a feverish sensation all over his body, and his mind was a little dazed with excitement!

He didn't obtain the Secret Pattern Weapon, but he encountered something countless times more precious than Secret Pattern Weapon.

It is the culmination of a civilization's knowledge!

The most powerful and mysterious "Sacrifice Secret Pattern" of the Yan Ji Tribe have been completely inherited!

Its value is immeasurable.

"Such an opportunity, yet it was judged as 'Hong level'." Lin Yan felt sorry for it.

He also understood that the Yan Ji Tribe had very few even Universe Venerable, so these Sacrifice Secret Pattern were of no use to the Lord of the Universe.

But!

Its significance has never lay in these things, but in the ethnic group!

The reason why the Yan Ji Tribe was wiped out may be because they possessed a treasure that led to their downfall.

Although Lin Yan didn't know the specifics, he could guess that the Four Great Peak Races must have searched the souls and used all sorts of methods, but they still couldn't find the true secret of the "Sacrifice Secret Pattern".

Otherwise, given the value of "Sacrifice Secret Pattern," it's impossible that no ethnic group has ever seen them using them.

This is simply a nightmare for those who are powerful in the laws of nature!

For the human race, the value of a single Secret Pattern Weapon is negligible, but the method of mass-producing Secret Pattern Weapon is as valuable as the "Yan God Clan Battle Armor." The important secrets behind this method can completely enhance the overall strength of humanity!

The Yan Ji Tribe is just an ordinary clan, so they can only produce fewer than a hundred Secret Pattern Weapon. But what kind of power do humans possess?

A single Secret Pattern Weapon is not even as valuable as a treasure, but what kind of Supreme Treasure can compare to the method of mass-producing Secret Pattern Weapon?

Lin Yan could hardly imagine it.

All he knew was that...

This mysterious "Sacrifice Secret Pattern" will soon be associated with his surname, Lin!
