Qilu

The Public Zone Yu Xiang Mountain, the Myriad Words Tower.

The moment Lin Yan appeared, everyone's expression changed slightly, their emotions becoming increasingly complex and difficult to decipher.

In the original Genius Battle, he wiped out Galesi, who was known as the "Phantom Demon," in the illusion. Despite Mental Master, he engaged in a near-mad duel with the Savage Rong Jun, who excelled in swordsmanship, and still won easily.

Finally, when facing the peerless genius Bolan the Death God, he unleashed the Fourth Layer "Dragon of Sun and Moon" with the notoriously difficult-to-control Extreme Divine Weapon!

"Hold head high..."

The dazzling Gemstone Dragon emerged, its long roar echoing through the arena, ultimately bringing this year's Genius Battle to a magnificent close with an instant kill.

This is the dominance that stems from the hexagonal warrior!

This is that freak whose talent is so high it's almost despair-inducing!

This is Lin Yan... the man known as "God"!

However, in their view, as long as they entered the Core Layer of the Virtual Universe Company, there was a possibility of surpassing him. But... what they didn't expect was that when they actually arrived in Chaos City, Lin Yan was the one who had risen from the ashes like a phoenix.

He has no limits.

He is always breaking the constraints of others' imagination and creating miracles that are beyond the reach of ordinary people.

As newcomers to the same group of Genius Battle, they were both close and far apart. Others gradually lost the courage to catch up and could only stand in this world and admire his fervor.

Many people even felt a sense of admiration and respect for it.

So much so that at this moment... with Lin Yan standing in front of them in this manner, they were momentarily stunned.

"Being late certainly warrants a punishment," Luo Feng chuckled. "Just now, Uka said that for such an important gathering, this kind of wine is rather dull, and we really need some good wine!"

"With our His Highness Lin Yan here today, it seems I don't need to bother!"

"No way." Prince Uka of Uka Manka Star Prince, the most lively of all, immediately interrupted Luo Feng. He waved his hand with an air of magnanimity, "This meal must be on me, and no one can take it from me!"

"Alright, alright, I won't fight you for it," Luo Feng said with a smile.

Two people broke the ice, and the atmosphere quickly warmed up. Ai Chen, a girl from the Mengluo Wing Race, moved a chair over from the side to make room for Lin Yan, who thanked her softly and sat down.

"When I was on the Demon Mountain Mission, I had the honor of meeting Senior King Tian Yu and learning some things. Speaking of which... Lin Yan, you call 'Feathered Emperor' your teacher. From the perspective of my Mengluo Wing Race, I should also call you Your Highness."

The seemingly untouched-by-worldly Mengluo Wing Race girl Telepathic Message, her bright eyes gazing tenderly at the handsome young figure before her.

Something was stirring secretly in her heart, a feeling that even she herself found hard to grasp.

Lin Yan replied telepathically, "You are now first and foremost a Core Layer member of the Virtual Universe Company, and only secondly Mengluo Wing Race. You no longer need to care about those so-called rules."

"Mm," Ai Chen replied softly, but her eyes dimmed slightly.

The Mengluo Wing Race is a branch of the Feathered Race. In terms of bloodline, they are slightly inferior, but in terms of appearance, they appear more graceful and more in line with the universal aesthetic of human races in the universe. Lin Yan once saw maids dressed in white feather robes in the Feathered Emperor Hall, all of whom were from the Mengluo Wing Race.

It's normal for billions of races in the universe to have their own rules. If we're talking about Lin Yan's status from the perspective of the Mengluo Wing Race, it's not enough to simply address him as "Your Highness." In fact, it could be said that he could get whatever he wanted.

However, judging from Ai Chen's attitude, Lin Yan felt that she seemed to be quite looking forward to it.

"As expected, my charm is just too powerful!" Lin Yan thought to himself.

What's wrong with a man being a little handsome?

He was really brimming with charm. Ai Chen's behavior was rather shy; he had seen more of the enthusiastic type.

Fortunately, he possessed a clear mind and remarkable self-control, having long seen through worldly desires, thus preserving his integrity in the world.

At Uka's instruction, the waiters quickly brought out the drinks, and the group began to chat.

Lin Yan acted very amiably. He had some connection with this group of people, and he wasn't one to put on airs. There was no reason for him to act superior just because he was at a gathering.

"I've focused most of my energy on cultivation these past few years and haven't had much contact with everyone. But we're all newcomers from the same batch, so it's only right that we support each other. If there's anything I can help you with, please don't hesitate to ask," Lin Yan said with a smile, holding his wine glass.

Previously, it was already quite an achievement for him to be able to take care of himself; now, Lin Yan doesn't mind being able to provide help in some areas.

To put it bluntly, he owes much of his current status to his community; his personality isn't really that "independent."

Looking at the vibrant figures before him, Lin Yan knew that Luo Feng's future achievements were self-evident, Bolan and Rong Jun would eventually become masters of the universe, and Uka would be Universe Venerable.

As for the others, they weren't mentioned much. It seems some perished during the trials, while others failed to achieve immortality at all. Their lifespan of ten million years wasn't as long as one might imagine.

Judging from this information, this group of people has great potential. If they can go further after meeting, at least become immortal, it would be a gratifying thing.

The higher Lin Yan climbed, the fewer people he could get along with as a "friend."

Certainly.

It's too early to talk about these things now. They are still in their most energetic period, full of drive, courage, and aspirations for the future.

Everyone present was immediately impressed.

They weren't stupid. The man in front of them had an obvious status and position, and his future prospects were limitless. Regardless of whether they would ever ask Lin Yan for help, the fact that he had said this was already worth taking seriously.

Among them, the siblings Jiang Mo and Qian Shui, and Prince Uka of Manka Star Prince, came from the best backgrounds and, having been influenced by them since childhood, knew the value of this friendship even more.

For a long time.

The party is over.

Lin Yan bid farewell to them one by one, but left behind Jiang Mo and Qian Shui, the brother and sister.

After learning from the Mu Xing Country Lord about the existence of something similar to a giant sleeping Beast God Statue on the Augustus Planet, Lin Yan's first thought was of this brother and sister.

Not only is he from Augustus Planet, but he also likes to compete with Uka to treat others, which clearly indicates that he is not an ordinary person.

If we could get some information from them, or even solve this problem directly, that would be ideal.

So when he saw that one of the emails was from Luo Feng offering to treat him to a meal, he readily agreed.

The green-haired girl with secret markings on her face, "Qian Shui," looked at Lin Yan with her watery eyes and asked, "Lin Yan, is there something you need?"

The green-haired youth with the secret markings on his face was also somewhat curious.

Logically speaking, what could Lin Yan possibly want from them?

"Could it be..." Jiang Mo suddenly looked at his sister, unable to hide his shock.

Could it be that he's taken a liking to my sister?

Could Lin Yan possibly be interested in my sister?

My sister can't possibly be that lovable!

Jiang Mo's three-part quality.

"There is indeed something I'd like to ask for your help with. Of course, I'm just giving it a try. If you encounter any difficulties, please feel free to tell me, and I can think of other solutions," Lin Yan said with a smile.

Jiang Mo and Qian Shui were somewhat surprised to see Lin Yan actually asking them for help.

"Go ahead and say it," Qian Shui said softly. The green-haired youth beside her nodded. "If we can help, we definitely won't refuse."

"Alright, then I'll get straight to the point," Lin Yan said. "I've heard that there's a statue on Augustus Planet called 'Qilu'. I want to get photos of Qilu Statue from all angles so that I can create a complete projection. I need all the details; there can't be any omissions."

"Qilu?" Qian Shui was taken aback.

At first, she didn't think of what it was, but when she connected it with the word "statue," she realized. "Are you talking about that Beast God Statue?"

"Do you also refer to the Beast God Statue directly?" Lin Yan nodded. "Yes, that's what I meant."

Qilu is Beast God of "wood and space", a unique Special Lifeform in the universe, born as Beast God.

"This thing is not inside our planet, and I have never seen it before. It seems that it was originally called the Qilu Statue, but maybe they just got used to calling it the Beast God Statue. We don't know much about it."

Qian Shui recalled, "But according to rumors, this statue was a precious treasure that our clan's Progenitor once obtained, and it hides an amazing secret!"

"If someone can see through the mystery, they will be qualified to enter the core lineage, and may even be accepted as a disciple by the Progenitor. If someone can comprehend it completely, they may even possess strength comparable to the Progenitor!"

Lin Yan's eyes lit up.

It sounds like... exactly what I need.

"However, for countless years, I have never heard of anyone who could understand this Beast God Statue. My brother and I were only at the Stellar level at the time, and we were not qualified to approach that area at all. We never actually saw it."

"I've only heard that anyone who sees that Beast God Statue will just think it's a very normal statue, with nothing special about it. Even Immortal God can't penetrate it with their divine power to investigate, and no one can understand its mysteries."

"Lin Yan, do you really need this?" Qian Shui asked, puzzled. "If you do, we can indeed ask our teacher through the Virtual Universe Network to see if he has a solution. With your talent, I believe you can succeed if you try to comprehend it yourself. However... is projection really useful to you?"

Jiang Mo also found it somewhat difficult to understand.

In terms of talent, they were naturally more impressed than ever. As long as the Beast God Statue wasn't just an ordinary statue as rumored, and there were indeed secrets hidden within it, they wouldn't be surprised if Lin Yan could figure it out.

If even Lin Yan can't figure it out, then who else has such an ability?

But relying solely on projection seems a bit too far-fetched.

Lin Yan nodded and said, "I need to find out about it for some special reasons. If it's not useful, then we'll have to consider it again later."

Whether it will work or not, he honestly doesn't know.

However, it's worth a try.

If it really works, it will be a great shortcut for the Green Line Devouring Worm to study the Path of the Beast God. Although it is not a necessity, it is very valuable.

"Okay." Qian Shui nodded. "Then my brother and I will finalize this as soon as possible, and if possible, we will send it to you as an email attachment."

"Thank you," Lin Yan said.

He thought to himself that his request was not unreasonable, and with the other party's help, he should be able to get a good result.

Not two days later.

Lin Yan received Qian Shui's email, and its contents did not disappoint him.

The A World the World Ring is vast and boundless.

A jet-black spaceship, resembling a ferocious flying monster, landed on the land, radiating a hazy light that eventually formed a colossal Beast God Statue, tens of thousands of kilometers long, in mid-air.

This statue is largely similar to the wooden Beast God Carving that Lin Yan saw in the Blood Demon Forbidden Zone, but the details are completely different. The overall shape is in the shape of a claw, with a ferocious face. Every scale is incredibly clear. Even as a projected statue, it exudes an invisible pressure.

"In comparison, the Beast God Carving can be sensed to have a special Conception, which is a partial Mu Kong Fusion Law, while the Qilu Statue in front of us only has pressure, and we can't feel anything else."

"Even the pressure wasn't too strong because it was just a projection."

Call!

Lin Yan, dressed in black, moved with lightning speed, his eyes flashing like lightning, his figure as swift as a phantom, circling the giant Beast God projection. While observing the Qilu projection ahead, he carefully examined the Green Line Devouring Worm clone left behind by the Blood Demon Forbidden Zone, comparing it with the "Wooden Beast God Carving".

Scales!

The successful experience of Luo Feng in the original work is of great reference value, and the problem is very likely to lie in the scales.

Sometimes he would fly thousands of kilometers above the Qilu projection, looking down at its back from above; other times he would descend, looking up to observe its belly and hooves, carefully examining the various details on the Qilu.

The consciousness processing speed, even more powerful than that of an intelligent Light Brain, is operating at breakneck speed.

Moment.

Lin Yan took a deep breath and finally looked away from the projection. He had thoroughly observed the entire projection and even memorized it.

"Although the postures are different, overall, there is no difference in appearance and body proportions, and the number of scales on their bodies is the same, 96,142 scales. It's just that... the shape of the scales is different." Lin Yan's eyes were shining.

"The Beast God Carving in the Blood Demon Forbidden Zone has more regular and Divine Charm scales, while the scales on this Qilu Statue seem to have no regularity, yet it can emit a terrifying pressure. If the pattern changes even slightly, the pressure will dissipate and become completely unremarkable."

Lin Yan smiled slightly.

For him, this is the best possible outcome.

He knew that for the Innate Beast God, they were themselves the perfect interpretation of the Secret Pattern Diagram of Fusion Law, so their scale patterns were extremely unique.

In fact.

Even though Lin Yan knew the outcome, he still had the Green Line Devouring Worm try to carve the scales of the Wood Beast God. When it had carved 51 scales, the Green Line Devouring Worm seemed to be bound by an invisible force, and the pressure directly suppressed its entire body and even its soul.

This is due to the pressure from the Operation Rule!

This behavior has crossed the bottom line of the Universe Rule and is absolutely not allowed to be copied. However, the Qilu Statue in front of us can indeed be copied, and can be understood as a low-level Beast God Statue.

"With Green Line Devouring Worm's years of research and comprehension of 'Azure Firmament,' and with the assistance of the Beast God Carving, although it is still far from the first level of the Beast God Inheritance, its understanding of the Mu Kong Fusion Law is indeed quite profound." Lin Yan pondered, "Since it has such a foundation, 'copying' is not just a boring method of comprehension, but an auxiliary means."

The saying goes, "Practice makes perfect."

There is indeed a tedious method for Law Comprehension: constantly practicing and imitating the secret techniques created by a powerful individual.

Following the trajectory and method of the powerful's secret techniques, you imitate them once, ten thousand times, even billions of times... As you become more and more accurate, you will naturally feel some fluctuations of the laws.

That's a stupid approach.

The approach of seeking only to apply something without understanding its true mysteries is destined to prevent one from fully comprehending a single principle.

If the difficulty of Fusion Law were not truly astonishing, Lin Yan wouldn't need to think of these methods at all; directly comprehending them would be much simpler. Even now, the foundation of the Green Line Devouring Worm is extraordinary, and searching for this Qilu projection is also a kind of auxiliary means.

His heart stirred.

Suddenly—

In the distant Mu Xing Universe Country, the Lingdi Secret Realm.

A black, saucer-shaped spaceship, simultaneously activating Large Detector and Mini Detector, is traveling at near-light speed through the Cosmic Secret Realm.

In the spacecraft's control room.

A red crystal was embedded in the pupil of a Metal Puppet, and it was now glowing slightly. On the right knuckle of the Metal Puppet was a golden World Ring.

Within this World Ring.

At the center stands a majestic mountain range, surrounded by vast and endless land, inhabited by countless Zerg Warriors of all kinds. Their auras are all at the World Lord peak, and they possess a unique aura of fierceness and cruelty.

At the top of the mountain.

"Hiss..." The Green Line Devouring Worm suddenly opened its eyes, its three pairs of differently shaped eyes devoid of any emotion.
