Lin Yan's Plan for Fame!
Pretending to be the "Lord of All Things" is only a temporary measure.
Because of the information he has, he is fully capable of competing for the Sword River Luo and the Sky Liu Sail. These two Supreme Treasure are very valuable to him, and he cannot afford to miss them. However, when he is truly strong enough, he will naturally not bother to hide his true strength.
Long ago, Lin Yan had a plan to establish a land in the Cosmic Secret Realm, allowing the human Earth lineage to settle and live there, with Earth's space solely for reproduction. However, due to his own being the target of public criticism, this plan was shelved to avoid unnecessary trouble.
After all, for the human race, what matters is the Earth itself, while the Earth lineage race itself is not so important. This living space is something that Lin Yan must protect himself.
"Everything in the Primordial Universe is no longer a shackle to me," Lin Yan thought to himself. "I must prove this through battle!"
"Only by beating them until they are afraid! Only by beating them until they dare not even think of me again can I, like the other universe lords, achieve Transcendent status and a solid foundation, so that no one will dare to provoke me!"
Unless there is a significant difference in strength, it is difficult for the Lords of the Universe to kill their opponents. Moreover, considering the influence of the forces behind them, even the most powerful Lords of the Universe, such as the Chaos City Lord, would not easily kill weaker Lords of the Universe.
Only when the benefits are great enough will the fall of the ruler of the universe occur.
Lin Yan, however, was being eyed by four of the Universe's Strongest from Three Great Peak Races!
Even if the Chaos City Lord were in his shoes, unless the Great Axe Founder came to his rescue, he would lose a divine body and his Supreme Treasure. Lin Yan's request for help back then was unavoidable, but the clan cannot always be the babysitter. It would be better to act under a disguise!
But...
After tens of millions of years of secluded cultivation, his strength has become unstoppable!
The Three Great Peak Races won't believe this, and neither will the human race. Only through battle can it be proven!
Only through battle can one gain persuasive power!
"This battle must be fought beautifully, so that the Zerg, the Demon Race, and the Mechanical race all clearly understand... there is absolutely no possibility of killing me! I don't need the help of my races; I alone am enough to contend with them!"
"First of all, I need to prove something to Giant Axe and the others... Otherwise, when the battle actually starts, they definitely won't feel at ease if the news gets to them, which would be counterproductive." Lin Yan pondered to himself, then instantly disappeared from the divine kingdom.
The Primordial Universe Humans realm, the Original Secret Realm, the location of the Chaos City Lord, the Thousand Treasures River, vast and mighty, stretching for light-years.
Main hall.
"Senior brother." Lin Yan nodded slightly.
Before him Chaos City Lord, clad in a golden robe, his eyes as calm as the endless starry sky, smiling as he looked at Lin Yan: "Junior Brother, have you gained anything from your years of secluded cultivation?"
"Of course I do," Lin Yan smiled. "No matter what happens, with my current strength, I can put your mind at ease."
The Chaos City Lord usually spends most of his time exploring the Cosmic Sea, but he has been in the Primordial Universe lately. He can probably guess that this is to prevent the Three Great Peak Races from taking any extreme actions because of his situation.
As far as he knew, the Great Axe Founder had not left during this time, but of course, the impact was not significant. In order to take care of their race, they would spend some time staying in the Primordial Universe.
"Hmm?" The Chaos City Lord was slightly taken aback.
No more worries?
"Junior Brother Lin Yan, what do you mean?" he asked, puzzled.
"After this period of seclusion, even if the Universe's Strongest come in person, they won't be able to threaten my safety," Lin Yan said with a smile. "They've been trying to find me all along, and I'd like to see if they have the teeth to gnaw on this tough nut."
"What?" The Chaos City Lord was immediately shocked. "Could it be that you, Junior Brother, have broken through to the Universe Lord realm?"
Although he felt the probability of a breakthrough was not high, after hearing Lin Yan's words, this was the only possibility that the Chaos City Lord could think of.
"Of course not." Lin Yan shook his head.
Although he had cultivated in seclusion for millions of years, he still felt no sense of breakthrough in the Time Law. He had comprehended the seventh level of the Five Great Beast Gods' Path, but the seventh level was the most difficult. This research made him feel that it was as vast as the ocean, extremely difficult and complicated, and the difficulty became more and more exaggerated as he went further.
It will take a long time before he fully comprehends it, and even if he does, without understanding the Heart of the Beast God, he will not be able to break through to the level of the Lord of the Universe.
The second stage of the Space-Time Fusion Law cultivation was smooth because the Space Law was fully comprehended, and the third stage, if the Time Law is comprehended, will also be smooth.
However, in theory, the third stage is the limit that can be reached before breaking through to the level of the Lord of the Universe, but the threshold is higher than Lin Yan imagined, and he has not made a breakthrough.
Over these tens of millions of years, Lin Yan's progress in Law Comprehension has not undergone any significant qualitative change.
"Then you underestimate the strength of the Universe's Strongest, junior brother." The Chaos City Lord shook his head and sighed. "Junior brother, do you know that our greatest confidence in you is because you have the Clone Talent, which poses no fatal danger to you in the Primordial Universe?"
"Otherwise, given your current situation, even if you break through to the level of a Universe Lord and create the Integrated Strongest Secret Technique at the Universe Lord level, making you even stronger than me... once the Giant Axe is no longer in the Primordial Universe, you will still be in danger of perishing if you encounter the Universe's Strongest!"
If one's strength surpasses that of the Chaos City Lord, then one is at the sixth rank.
The Chaos City Lord said earnestly, "The Universe's Strongest are at the Tier 6 peak under the limitations of the Primordial Universe. Even if I am at the Tier 5 peak, the Universe's Strongest can suppress me, but they still find it difficult to do anything about me. Logically speaking, it would be difficult to even suppress Tier 6 Universe Master."
"But Junior Brother, when you were Universe Venerable, you already possessed the strength of a top-tier Universe Lord. With such potential, how could you let those Universe's Strongest give up so easily?"
"Even Tier 6 Universe Master could be sealed if faced with two or three of the Universe's Strongest joining forces! Once sealed, if they are taken to a Small Universe, not only universe masters, but even the Universe's Strongest would be at your mercy!"
Lin Yan nodded.
That's true.
Although the Primordial Universe favored the Lord of the Universe and restricted the Universe's Strongest, it was not to the point that the Lord of the Universe would surpass the latter. The advantage of the Universe's Strongest was still obvious.
Don't be fooled by the fact that the Lord Tian Lang has the High-class Supreme Treasure Palace "Heavenly Wolf Hall" and even the Chaos City Lord can't do anything to him. That's because the Lord Tian Lang has the Ancestor Meng Yao and the Ancestor Zhen Yao behind him. Otherwise, it wouldn't be difficult to suppress and seal the Heavenly Wolf Hall that he has.
If it were that simple, Lin Yan would have already built himself a Supreme Treasure Palace. However, high-level or top-tier Supreme Treasure Palace wouldn't mean much to him.
The strongest thing that can withstand the seal is the Ultimate Supreme Treasure Palace. When the Ultimate Supreme Treasure seal and confront each other, it depends on which one is stronger.
"However, you have the Clone Talent of creating clones. Once you break through to the level of the Lord of the Universe, with the addition of clones, it will be almost impossible for them to seal you, and they won't even lose any of their Supreme Treasure," said the Chaos City Lord.
"I understand what you're saying, Senior Brother." Lin Yan said helplessly. He knew that words alone were not enough and the Chaos City Lord would not believe him.
The Chaos City Lord looked at him with slight hesitation. "Really?"
Judging from Lin Yan's own insistence on disguising his identity, it's clear that he wouldn't have made such a decision lightly unless he had a foolproof plan. After all, losing one of his clones wasn't a significant loss, while Supreme Treasure like the Sword River Luo were hard-won.
But what gives a Universe Venerable such confidence?
Unable to create a secret technique at the level of a universe master, Lin Yan's strength is at most at the Tier 4 peak. Even with his divine body's high defense, which increases the difficulty of killing him by a level, he still cannot contend with the Universe's Strongest.
Both strength and divine body defense are closely related to Supreme Treasure. Without a powerful supreme Supreme Treasure, the Universe's Strongest can kill you in one move. If you carry a supreme Supreme Treasure, once you are killed, it will take a long time to accumulate strength.
The Chaos City Lord couldn't figure out what methods Lin Yan could possibly have.
"I came here this time to let the Great Axe Founder personally verify my progress. When Senior Brother Chaos witnesses it with his own eyes, he will naturally believe my words," Lin Yan said confidently with a smile.
"Very well." The Chaos City Lord nodded slightly, somewhat doubtful.
However, since Lin Yan has made this suggestion, it will naturally become clear when the time comes. Lin Yan has the Clone Talent, so he is not afraid of the Giant Axe causing any damage to him. It is no different from the training in the Virtual Universe.
Two days later.
In the Human territory, in a remote corner of the starry sky, there is not even a speck of cosmic dust within tens of light-years; the shattered void slowly solidifies.
Three towering figures stood in the void.
The Great Axe Founder controlled this spacetime, and planets and stars directly Reverse Space-Time to reappear in the cosmos, completely erasing the traces of their battle.
"Lin Yan, you've really given us a huge surprise!" The Great Axe Founder still had a hint of shock in his eyes, and shook his head with a sigh. "With your current strength, you are fully capable of entering the Cosmic Sea, and you can be considered a strong person there."
In the battle just now, he had used every trick in the book, but he couldn't do anything to the enemy, which truly shocked the Great Axe Founder.
How could there be such a monstrous Universe Venerable in the world?
It's completely beyond comprehension.
The Chaos City Lord stood to the side, remaining silent for a long time without saying a word.
"I still have some difficulties in my cultivation. If I can resolve them, my strength may improve. I plan to venture into the Cosmic Sea again then," Lin Yan said. "Right now, it would be a valuable opportunity for me to see those Universe's Strongest and fight them."
"Then you should go and prepare." The Great Axe Founder laughed heartily. "This battle will surely shake Myriad Races in the universe, and in the future, other powers and universe lords will dare not easily provoke our human race!"
"Yes," Lin Yan replied, his eyes growing sharper and filled with anticipation.
After Lin Yan left, the Great Axe Founder and the Chaos City Lord remained standing in the void.
Giant Axe and Chaos exchanged a glance, both seeing the shock and admiration in each other's eyes. Giant Axe spoke up, "Does the Primordial Ancestor know about this?"
"I probably didn't know before." The Chaos City Lord shook his head. "My teacher was quite interested in this, so he had me transmit synchronously through the Virtual Universe. I know about it now."
"I really didn't expect this," the Great Axe Founder exclaimed. "Even with the Time Palace, it's only been tens of millions of years, yet they've already reached this point, maximizing their advantages... In terms of true strength, Lin Yan is far inferior to you, but in terms of threat, you are several levels below, and in terms of survivability, no one can match him!"
"Junior Brother Lin Yan is indeed good at discovering his own strengths." The Chaos City Lord smiled and shook his head. "It's just that he has so many strengths that even you and I can't help but be surprised. Moreover, he has many secrets, which is why he can often break the rules."
"Haha." The Great Axe Founder patted the Chaos City Lord on the shoulder, like a proud older brother, and said with emotion, "Chaos, you have to work hard to become another Universe's Strongest for my human race, so that you can be a good senior brother under the Primordial Ancestor!"
"Now that Lin Yan is with our human race, you no longer need to have any worries. They can handle the affairs within the race. You still need to focus more on your own cultivation."
"I will," the Chaos City Lord said with a smile.
After the Primordial Ancestor was suppressed, the entire human race relied on Giant Axe and Chaos to survive, which was like walking on thin ice.
Although the Giant Axe is considered one of the Universe's Strongest, it has always kept a low profile and endured hardship because it lacks the Ultimate Supreme Treasure, fearing that its sharp edge might bring disaster to the human race.
In terms of divine physique, the Lord of Chaos City Lord is far inferior to beings like the Star River Master. His divine physique can only be considered average and cannot be compared with Special Lifeform forms that defy the heavens. However, his combat power is recognized as strong and he is considered to have a good chance of becoming the Universe's Strongest.
As the two earliest followers of the Primordial Ancestor, they were both exceptionally talented. After the Primordial Ancestor was suppressed, they were determined to protect the human race and thus bore the greatest pressure.
Only now did they feel a little more at ease.
Lin Yan's progress was so rapid and his performance so terrifying that it was impossible not to be amazed and impressed. His very existence relieved a lot of their pressure.
"Once Junior Brother Lin Yan steps into the realm of the Universe Lord, the status of our human race will truly be unshakeable." A hint of anticipation flickered in the eyes of the Chaos City Lord.
"I thought so before, but now that I look at it again, it would be too biased to expect too much from Lin Yan's abilities." The Great Axe Founder sighed, "The Primordial Universe is just the cradle that nurtured us. The Cosmic Sea is the place of endless mystery and wonder, and that is where his bigger stage lies."
"Let's wait," said the Chaos City Lord. "That day is very near."
While the Great Axe Founder and the Chaos City Lord were lamenting this, Lin Yan was browsing through the information of the universe lords of the Demon Race, the Zerg, and the Mechanical race in the Virtual Universe.
These three races have a long-standing feud with the human race, and the number of universe lords is small. Therefore, there is a great deal of detailed information about each universe lord, including their growth data, numerous combat records, strength assessments, and Supreme Treasure and secret techniques.
He also learned about the four Universe's Strongest from those three major races.
Lin Yan looked at the documents floating in mid-air. "Who to choose is not important. The most important thing is to lure the snakes out of their holes and make those Universe's Strongest jump out themselves. Let their reputation build my prestige!"
Within a clan, there can be a good atmosphere to foster the growth of talented younger generations. However, outside the clan, no matter how famous a genius is, Alien Race only want to destroy them. Only when the reputation of the strong spreads far and wide can the major powers not dare to provoke them and deter all sides.
He looked around and finally fixed his gaze on a jet-black Sky Wolf.
"Old friend, I'll still choose you for this kind of thing." Lin Yan chuckled softly. "Last time I didn't have a suitable Supreme Treasure, and you weren't hurt much. This time, you won't have it so easy."
The Lord Tian Lang is a universe lord who has lived an extremely long life among the Demon Race. His strength is at the peak level, but he is relatively weak among peak universe lords. He is known for his strong ability to protect himself.
He could never forget that back in the Xuan Zhao Secret Realm, the high and mighty Lord Tian Lang Control of Space-Time and tried to crush him to death. Although he fought back, it didn't cause any real damage, but he did suffer a great loss of face.
The wider Lin Yan's reputation spreads, the more disgraced the Lord Tian Lang becomes.
Of course, for super strong individuals, losing face is a far more unbearable price to pay than getting injured.
With a thought, his figure vanished from his palace.
The Virtual Universe, the Hong Alliance Palace, the highest power center in Hong Alliance City.
Lin Yan sat high on the throne. As one of the universe's masters among the human race, he was naturally also one of the hall masters of the Hong Alliance Palace.
Moment.
A faint phantom stood before the palace, then stepped into the main hall, walked to the center of the hall, and respectfully said, "The Lord Xuanyuan has summoned me. What are your instructions? Please grant me your guidance."
As the head of the Virtual Universe Company intelligence department and also the head of the Hong Alliance intelligence department, the Shadow Lord may not be able to fully disclose all the intelligence information he possesses to the Alien Race universe lords, but he can access any intelligence at will to this Human Race high-level figures and the Lord Xuanyuan of the Virtual Universe Company.
"I need all the information about the Lord Tian Lang, his recent movements, and his current location," Lin Yan said softly.
"Yes," the Shadow Lord replied.
A letter then floated down, and Lin Yan tapped it lightly. A huge screen appeared in mid-air in front of him, displaying all the information he needed in detail.
Humanity's intelligence network is the strongest in the entire universe.
"Original Star No. 07649." Lin Yan smiled slightly. "Sky Wolf, whether you're a wolf or a wolf this time depends on your own abilities."
Whoosh!
His figure vanished directly into the Virtual Universe.
I'll keep you in suspense for now and not reveal the protagonist's methods, but those familiar with the original work should be able to guess.
