More than a month later.

The staff of Virtual Universe Company handed the repaired Emperor Ship back to Lin Yan. Then, Lin Yan and King Tong Nan prepared to leave the Imperial Capital Star. Lin Yan and Gate naturally returned to Canglan Star, while King Tong Nan returned to Chaos City.

"Lin Yan, when do you plan to go to Chaos City for secluded cultivation?" King Tong Nan.

Lin Yan had told him about some cultivation plans, and King Tong Nan was very supportive. In his opinion, Lin Yan was different from other geniuses; his will was already firm enough, and staying in the Ganwu Universe Country was a pure waste of time.

The progress speed in Chaos City will be much faster.

"It shouldn't be long," Lin Yan said with a slight smile.

King Tong Nan nodded. "Alright, then we'll meet again in Chaos City."

Lin Yan watched as King Tong Nan's spaceship slowly ascended into the sky, broke through the atmosphere of the Mengyou Empire's Imperial Capital Star, and quickly disappeared.

He looked at Gate and said, "Let's go too."

"Yes, Your Highness," Gate replied respectfully.

Right now, Gate felt that among all the princes 'Guard Army in the Virtual Universe Company, there were very few who were as purely inactive as he was.

When His Highness Lin Yan was assassinated, the first thing he did was to take him, the leader of the Guard Army, into his World Ring. This is truly... an outrageous event!

Unheard of, unseen.

But what can you do if you don't buy soy sauce?

Last time, the assassins were High-class Feng Hou Immortal God and Initial Feng Hou Mo Yun Vine. This time, they are three Peak Feng Wang expert. Judging from the fact that the existence of the universe master was later brought into the picture, it is very likely that His Highness Lin Yan has already attracted the assassination attempt of the Universe Venerable.

Forget about getting beaten up, even a glance at myself could kill me.

Once he figured it out, he let it go... It's not that your subordinates aren't working hard enough, it's just that Your Highness is too abnormal!

Gate fully realized that Virtual Universe Company's protection of Lin Yan was foolproof, and that he, as the leader of the Guard Army, was merely a figurehead.

A few days later, Lin Yan returned to Canglan Star.

Night.

Lin Yan walked alone in the quiet and spacious palace corridor, following the steps of the side hall, climbing up step by step, until he reached the top floor of this Majestic Palace.

Lin Yan leaned against the railing and looked on.

The wind rustles through the pines, and the Milky Way shines brightly.

"When I left Earth, I never imagined I could grow to this level so quickly." Lin Yan's eyes were bright. "Now there are only six years left before the 'Blood Hound' clone is born, and I will be able to go home soon."

"Home".

To Lin Yan, he was a visitor from outer space, a traveler from another world, a place where he originally had no home.

I still remember that night in the Wilderness Area.

That night, the moonlight was beautiful. On the rooftop of the building, the boy named Chen Lian cried uncontrollably.

I miss home.

"I haven't been back for a long time."

At that time, Chen Lian thought he was going to die.

He wasn't thinking about his own death, but about his grandfather, who was skin and bones, as black as coal, yet said he "didn't suffer."

Because if he dies, his grandfather will have no one to rely on, he will be all alone, and he will experience the most painful suffering in the world.

Lin Yan also missed home at that time.

Because of this kind of suffering, it is very likely that the people who raised him for more than 20 years and sheltered him from the wind and rain will also experience it after that car accident on that snowy night.

It all feels like yesterday.

But that was a long time ago.

It must be admitted that many things will fade away with time.

The hometown that he could never return to gradually faded from Lin Yan's mind. His former relatives and friends gradually became symbols, engraved deep in his heart, but he no longer thought about them much.

Since Lin Yan arrived here, more than two hundred years have passed in the Primordial Universe. He doesn't know if his relatives from his previous life are still alive, nor does he know if it's possible to trace back to the past.

Or perhaps, were those past events and memories just a dream?

What is the truth behind Swallowed Star?

Why did I come into this world... or rather, why can I see the future of the world?

This is something he rarely thinks about, because he simply doesn't have the ability to find the answers right now.

Times have changed.

Tens of thousands of light-years away from Canglan Star, on that azure planet with the same name and a seemingly contradictory history, Lin Yan's inner emotions were completely intertwined.

That would be home.

He has his family, his wife, his friends, and a shared ideal.

Although he would occasionally spend time with his family in the Virtual Universe, it was completely different. Even when he was with his family, most of Lin Yan's consciousness was still studying secret techniques and comprehending the laws.

Because they are still separated by vast distances, even if they stand together in the Virtual Universe, they still miss each other.

His expression was tender and affectionate, but his voice was somewhat hoarse. "Zhi'an..."

She had been waiting for him for a very long time.

So Lin Yan wanted it to be faster; he had been waiting for this day for a long time.

And these waits will eventually come to an end.

Does the existence of "Earth" have a significant impact on Lin Yan himself? Does the rise of Earthling in the universe have great significance for him?

Actually, no.

Aside from Luo Feng, the destined protagonist, no one else could even see Lin Yan's back. With his Green Line Devouring Worm Clone, he didn't need any help at all.

It requires him to invest energy and resources, which seems like a meaningless thing.

This is a world where great power resides within itself, and for the Great Axe Founder, the existence of the human race is equally meaningless.

Although they are on different levels, they have one thing in common: they all rely on their own dedication to shoulder the rise and fall of their race or even their ethnic group, without seeking any personal gain.

But from another perspective, it has great significance.

Because... it is precisely because we have "responsibility" that we have the firm will to move forward; it is because we have a goal in mind that we can stick to our original aspirations and create a more ideal world.

Why pursue strength?

This is not the so-called path to enlightenment.

Instead, it was a rugged, winding road strewn with corpses.

It is tedious, indifferent, painful, and lonely; without a strong inner self and a pursuit of one's own goals, it is impossible to persevere.

Immortal God can exist forever. If they only want to enjoy themselves, then they can let other humans multiply and thrive in their divine realm and enjoy themselves forever without any danger.

No one can find your divine kingdom, and the Divine Kingdom Humans have no potential to become immortal. No one can resist your divine power.

It can also connect to Virtual Universe, allowing you to pass the time at will.

But Lin Yan didn't like this kind of pleasure. He was willing to take responsibility and realize the true value of his life.

It is this inner conviction that makes his life brilliant and full of infinite possibilities.

It is precisely in this way that "I" can always remain "I".

Lin Yan looked up at the starry sky, his mind racing with countless thoughts.

"I just completed the Mengyou Empire mission, and for a long time, the Virtual Universe Company will not assign me any other missions. In the next six years, I will not go anywhere else."

"In the meantime, everything else can wait. The most important task is to successfully Parasitism the 'Immortal Mo Yun Vine'!"

That Immortal Mo Yun Vine has 108 main vines and is at the Initial Feng Hou.

Although the Parasitism Life Puppet will no longer be able to improve its Law Comprehension and its divine body will no longer improve, it can still cultivate the Amplitude Secret Method!

Even after the Divine Body Amplitude, it can reach the level of King Rank... This only refers to the divine body, which is a different concept from strength.

Certainly.

Lin Yan borrowed its power in the form of "possession," and didn't care about the strength and Law Comprehension of the Mo Yun Vine itself; all he needed was a divine body.

Lin Yan possesses the Soul Amplitude Secret Method "Desirelessness," Divine Body Amplitude Secret Method "Black Hole Sacred Body" is extremely difficult to cultivate and comes at a great cost, making it unsuitable for use on Plant Lifeform forms.

However, looking at the vast universe, there must also be Amplitude Secret Method of Plant Lifeform forms.

There are even some powerful groups, such as the Plant Lifeform "Plant Lifeform". This is a powerful group in the universe. The Plant Lifeform has no gender and reproduces offspring through the Fanling Ancestor Tree.

Lin Yan did not find it in the treasure vault. He planned to ask his teacher, the Mu Xing Country Lord, later. Logically speaking, there should be a human race. For example, the World Tree Clone of the Venerable Ancestor Tree must have already cultivated to the limit of a hundred times the amplitude.

Successfully Parasitism the "Immortal Mo Yun Vine" not only means that the Green Line Devouring Worm will possess divine power at the Marquis level, and with the comprehension of Law Comprehension and secret techniques, will achieve all-round Marquis level combat power, it also means that the initial cultivation of the first volume of "Heavenly Demon Illusion" has already shown initial results.

With this level of strength, even if Yao Hai were Undying Body, it would be enough to fundamentally damage him, and Soul Annihilation wouldn't be too difficult.

The reason it is said that the Green Line Devouring Worm, rather than Lin Yan himself, is because Lin Yan's physical body is currently unable to activate the power of Marquis Plant Lifeform force.

He's only at the peak of the Domain Lord level.

Once he breaks through to the World Master and evolves to the World Lord peak, his strength will increase by thousands of times, allowing Plant Lifeform of this level to possess him.

Unlike the Green Line Devouring Worm, its Life Gene Level is more than two thousand times higher. Combined with the Amplitude Secret Method, it is enough to drive the divine power of the initial-level "Mo Yun Vine" of the Initial Feng Hou.

However, if it were Tai Sui Tree Spirit, World Lord peak divine body with Peak Feng Hou, even Green Line Devouring Worm would be unable to bear such divine power at the Domain Lord level.

Lin Yan didn't care about this.

During the domain lord era, it was enough for the Green Line Devouring Worm to grow powerful.

As for Lin Yan himself or the Xue Qiao Clone, they can just focus on their cultivation.

Lin Yan pondered, "With the strength of my Will and Consciousness, I can break through to the World Master at any time, but this matter is not urgent, we can talk about it later."

The reward for conquering the Cosmic Level Original Tongtian Mountain, is 100 million points.

The reward for the Domain Lord Level Original Tongtian Mountain is 3 billion points.

The points will be directly awarded upon becoming World Master. This is a very high point reward, and the requirements are not difficult for Lin Yan, so he will definitely have to try.

To pass through the Domain Lord Level Original Tongtian Mountain, one needs at least the ability of the 16th level of the Tongtian Bridge. Lin Yan's current Law Comprehension might be a little lacking, but with that incredibly exaggerated Amplitude Secret Method, even if he were to try now, Lin Yan would have full confidence in passing.

Anyone else in this situation would definitely have broken through to the World Master.

The World Master possesses the World Power, and their consciousness descends to the Origin Land, Law Comprehension the laws at the fastest speed.

But Lin Yan is different.

Back when he was at the Stellar level, he had already managed to bring his consciousness to the Origin Land by fusing with the "Light Web Crystal." However, the Consciousness Strength was very low at that time, far from reaching the level of a Bolan World Lord level. Nevertheless, it allowed him to surpass the peerless genius known as "a genius who appears once every ten thousand epochs" in just a few years.

Bolan had cultivated at the Stellar level for hundreds of years to gain such a high level of understanding of the Space Law.

Now, things are different from when he was at the Stellar level. Whether or not he breaks through to the World Master has no impact on Lin Yan's speed of Law Comprehension.

Given this, he certainly wouldn't be in a hurry to break through, considering that he only used one of the four opportunities available to Domain Lord level.

Opportunities are very important to Lin Yan; they cannot be wasted.

"Once the 'Blood Hound' clone is born, I will begin preparations to head to Chaos City and conclude my posting as Domain Lord level," Lin Yan said quietly. "Right now, the Ganwu Universe Country is simply too small for me."

Is this Ganwu Universe Country small?

The Qianwu Great Star Zone encompasses over 103,000 star fields and contains more than 100 million star systems. It has existed for an incredibly long time, and its territory is so vast that even Immortal Expert could not possibly explore it all in an infinite number of years.

It doesn't sound small.

But his heart and his will could no longer be contained.

1 year, 2 years, 3 years...

Time flows like water, oblivious to the changing seasons and the cycle of the sun and moon.

During this period, Lin Yan remained in seclusion, cultivating in seclusion, and ordered that no one be allowed to disturb him.

As time went by, Lin Yan's research into the two major Soul-type secret technique, "Heavenly Demon Illusion" and "Heavenly Demon Gu," became more in-depth. He put aside all other aspects of his cultivation and devoted himself entirely to these two techniques.

Compared to other secret techniques or Law Comprehension, this was clearly the way to improve his strength the most, and it had a profound impact as well.

In the quiet, dark room, fluorescent lights reflected a cold light off the alloy floor.

Lin Yan sat cross-legged on the ground, his back straight, his eyes slowly opening, a thoughtful look in them.

"After absorbing the second drop of Clear Soul Yuan Dew, my soul cultivated the 'Desireless' secret technique to its limit, barely reaching a 70-fold Soul Amplitude. This was only because of my strong will. If I wanted to make further progress on this basis, I would probably need to find a treasure of the 'Ice Prison Green Dew' level."

Absorbing the first drop of Clear Soul Yuan Dew increased Lin Yan's Soul Amplitude from 30 times to 59 times, while the second Clear Soul Yuan Dew only increased it from 59 times to 70 times.

This is primarily because these kinds of secret techniques become increasingly difficult to cultivate as one progresses, and secondly because the effect of the second drop of Clear Soul Yuan Dew diminishes.

If Lin Yan hadn't exchanged the third drop but continued using it, Lin Yan guessed the maximum increase would have been 73 times.

The effects of treasures at this level will become increasingly weaker, requiring even stronger treasures, such as soul treasures worth hundreds of billions of Hun Yuan Unit, to potentially allow Lin Yan to reach 80 times the power and obtain another Soul-type secret technique.

As for the Ice Prison Green Dew that Lin Yan mentioned... it is a soul treasure renowned throughout the universe, originating from the Ice Prison Star Belt of the "Wu Hua Secret Realm". It is created by the Special Lifeform Green Dou Kou with endless effort and is worth 2 trillion Hun Yuan Unit per drop.

The difference between this and the 30 billion drops of Clear Soul Yuan Dew is naturally enormous.

These are all very precious treasures to the Universe Venerable, capable of pushing Lin Yan's soul limits to even greater heights.

However, this is just a thought for now. He can't possibly come up with 2 trillion Hun Yuan Unit. He can't possibly sell them to the "Black Phoenix Armor." Only a madman like Lin Yan would do that.

"70 times the Soul Amplitude, 2200 times the Life Gene Level, which means... the Green Line Devouring Worm already possesses 150 times the mental power of World Lord peak!"

The fact that a mere Domain Lord level cultivator can possess 150 times the mental power of World Lord peak demonstrates the extraordinary nature of the Green Line Devouring Worm Clone.

However, once you reach this level, the only way to make further progress is to break through to the World Master.

"This time, we'll definitely succeed in one fell swoop." Lin Yan pursed his lips, his eyes sharp as blades. "I'll turn this Immortal Mo Yun Vine into my Life Puppet."

His eyes closed again, and his consciousness completely entered the Green Line Devouring Worm Clone.

In the World Ring.

The Green Line Devouring Worm Clone three pairs of differently shaped eyes, looking down at the crystal-like Plant Lifeform stretching for hundreds of thousands of kilometers below with utter indifference.

The Mo Yun Vine remained in a strange frozen state, resembling a giant ice sculpture, with ice crystals condensed on the surface of the main vine leaves shimmering with light.

Wow!

The Green Line Devouring Worm hovered above the Mo Yun Vine, quickly unleashing its talent, "Parasitism."

Over the past thirty years, Lin Yan has completely fused the Soul Worm with the "Parasitism" talent with the "Heavenly Demon Gu".

"Parasitism" is Talent Secret Method that cannot be obtained by external forces. Lin Yan combined it with the Illusionary Technique flow enslavement method, which can be regarded as lowering its standards and requirements and strengthening its enslavement ability.

This is also why Lin Yan did not let Hun An possess the Green Line Devouring Worm, thus achieving 310 times the mental power of World Lord peak. While it is true that this would allow him to unleash a stronger version of the "Heavenly Demon Illusion," the "Parasitism" Talent Secret Method is the most important core element in this process.

This is a method of enslavement, not just an illusion. It's a whole system, and it only works because this Illusionary Technique flow method of enslavement is combined with the "Soul Worm."

Laugh!

The ethereal psychic power immediately invaded the body of the Mo Yun Vine, quickly combining and transforming into strange black threads, forming Black Lotus composed of countless secret patterns.

Streams of black mist flowed out from the black lotus, creating endless illusions, with fish and dragons swirling around like a kaleidoscope.

The black mist rippled faintly, gradually forming a wriggling Gu worm.

This is the "Heavenly Demon Gu," also known as the "Soul Worm."

Whoosh!

The black mist seeped into the soul of Mo Yun Vine. It seemed silent, but Mo Yun Vine was Undying Body, and its Life Imprint had been integrated into every cell fragment. The black mist burst forth at the speed of light, directly enveloping every Split Spirit in Mo Yun Vine's divine body.

The once crystalline divine body was now shrouded in a layer of black light, and countless black mists seeped into every Life Imprint. Mo Yun Vine was in a slumbering state because of the Soul Secret Technique of King Zhui Yu.

The Green Line Devouring Worm fully controlled the invasion of the black mist, while the Heavenly Demon Gu also found the Soul Core of the Mo Yun Vine and began to gnaw at it. Strands of green threads spilled from its mouth, and countless threads merged into it.

"Persist in."

"We must succeed."

As the green line penetrated deeper and deeper, it naturally destroyed the secret technique originally created by King Zhui Yu. Moreover, when the soul encountered a real crisis, Mo Yun Vine's consciousness became even stronger.

Lin Yan remained calm and composed, having anticipated this situation.

"Heavenly Demon Illusion!"

"We must achieve victory in one battle."

The Green Line Devouring Worm's eyes turned slightly cold. The Black Lotus instantly collapsed, and countless secret patterns surged wildly into all the Life Imprint of the Mo Yun Vine along with the black mist, making the Heavenly Demon Illusion's penetration ability even stronger.

"Success!!"

Lin Yan gave it his all, putting all his Will and Consciousness into it.

To ensure that the Mo Yun Vine is successfully Parasitism without the user's knowledge in the illusion, its consciousness must not be awakened. Otherwise, at the crucial moment, when the Mo Yun Vine burning Divine Power, its illusion and Talent Secret Method will be ineffective.

This is also the difficulty of Parasitism Immortal God. You should know that the Green Line Devouring Worm's Talent Secret Method is itself an extremely sophisticated method of enslavement.

The more powerful Special Lifeform form is, the more extraordinary its innate abilities are.

This is equivalent to a supreme enslavement technique at the level of a Universe Venerable, and it achieves its strongest effect without any cultivation required.

This is the Green Line Devouring Worm, a born Soul Master, with astonishing Soul Invasion and control abilities.

In Lin Yan's view, the enslavement method of the Heavenly Demon Gu is even more powerful. The combination of the two makes it so difficult to turn the Mo Yun Vine into Life Puppet.

Moment.

The cold crystals on the surface of the Mo Yun Vine melted instantly, and at the same time, the entire Mo Yun Vine shot up wildly into the sky. The 108 main vines, as well as countless branch vines and leaves, spread, twisted and danced wildly in all directions.

The enormous, seemingly crystal-clear Mo Yun Vine, which stretched for hundreds of thousands of kilometers, constantly changed colors: gold, silver, purple, black, green, blue... As the colors changed, the immense pressure of the divine body gradually subsided, but it still made people tremble.

Whoosh!

Lin Yan's figure also appeared in this A World.

"Haha... It's done!" Lin Yan's eyes shone brightly, and he was overjoyed, unable to hold back his laughter.

"Hiss..."

The Green Line Devouring Worm Clone also roared excitedly.

After more than 30 years of effort, Lin Yan finally succeeded in Parasitism the Immortal Mo Yun Vine into Life Puppet, which was of great significance to him.

This means that when the Mo Yun Vine is not possessed, it possesses the Initial Feng Hou, capable of Divine Power Burning. Its massive divine body, which can spread across hundreds of thousands of kilometers, is completely unafraid of Divine Power Burning!

If it enters the possession state, combined with Lin Yan's near-16th-level Law Comprehension of the Tongtian Bridge, and secret treasures, the Green Line Devouring Worm will be able to reach the High-class Feng Hou at the Domain Lord level. Of course, the current Green Line Devouring Worm cannot withstand the power after the Divine Power Burning.

"Whoosh!"

The overwhelming Mo Yun Vine rapidly shrank, their root system merging into the body of the Green Line Devouring Worm. Instantly, a silver membrane formed on the Green Line Devouring Worm's surface, perfectly fitting its scales and Green Line Devouring Worm, making it completely invisible.

This is the Mo Yun Battle Suit.

The Mo Yun Vine is a defensive Plant Lifeform that can also assist in attacks. This Mo Yun Vine at the Initial Feng Hou has a physical strength that is in no way inferior to that of a human powerhouse at the High-class Feng Hou title.

Unlike armor such as Yongluo Armor, Plant Lifeform armor does not weaken external impacts, but rather tries its best to resist them.

Only when the Mo Yun Vine could no longer withstand the impact could it strike its master.

"Ha ha..."

"Let me see just how terrifying the power of this Mo Yun Vine after it possesses me is!" Lin Yan couldn't help but smile, his eyes gleaming as he looked at the Green Line Devouring Worm.
