Spirit Glory Level Treatment, Arriving One After Another

The Shanming spaceship traversed the vast void and stopped a few kilometers away from the Phantom Star Lightchaser.

The hatch opened, Lin Yi stepped out, hovering in the vacuum. He channeled his primal energy and proclaimed:

"Lin Yi of the Silver Moon Blue Civilization, having learned of your arrival, has come to pay my respects."

After a moment of silence, the hatch of the Phantom Star Lightchaser slid open silently, like mercury, a crack appearing in the air.

A soft female voice rang out, carrying a hint of a smile:

"Your Excellency Lin Yi, I am Xing Yi, the head of the Purple Gold Star Union branch of the Pan-Spirit Alliance Virtual Network Company in the Human Race territory. I am here on behalf of the company to congratulate your civilization on its advancement and to make your acquaintance, as a rising star who has achieved a level 7 rating."

Lin Yi was certain.

The other party introduced themselves and spoke in a calm tone, clearly showing goodwill.

"So it's Xing Yi."

Lin Yi maintained a respectful but not servile attitude. "It is an honor for our civilization that Xing Yi has come from afar. If you do not mind, please step inside and allow me to extend my hospitality."

"Very well," Xing Yi said. "I've been wanting to see for myself what a civilization capable of producing such a talent as Lin Yi looks like."

As soon as Lin Yi had a thought, Shanming immediately received the command, transformed into a shadowy figure, and instantly arrived, hovering beside him.

"Xing Yi, please follow me."

Lin Yi gestured an invitation and entered Shanming first.

Xing Yi Phantom Star Lightchaser followed behind Shanming, heading towards the azure planet together.

On the way, Lin Yi used Xuanji to give orders to headquarters to lift the alert and immediately prepare a reception hall of the highest standard.

Soon, two spaceships representing different levels of technology and power passed through the atmosphere of Blue Star one after the other and landed smoothly on the small spaceship landing pad dedicated to the headquarters of the Blue Star Commonwealth Headquarters.

Lin Yi stepped out of the cabin first, followed by a stunningly beautiful woman with an ethereal aura and features of the Spirit Race.

It was Xing Yi, a being at the World Derivation level.

She simply stood there, and the natural flow of laws around her made the surrounding space seem viscous and awe-inspiring. Although she had restrained the invisible pressure belonging to the World Derivation level, the headquarters staff all held their breath and lowered their heads, not daring to look directly at her.

Led by Lin Yi, the two entered the reception hall, which had been prepared in advance.

The hall is elegantly decorated, incorporating the characteristics of Blue Star's civilization.

After the waiter served the carefully prepared tea, he respectfully withdrew, leaving only the two of them in the hall.

Xing Yi picked up her teacup, sniffed it lightly, but didn't drink. Her gaze fell on Lin Yi, and she cut straight to the point, her tone slightly probing. "Lin Yi, I've come here for two reasons: to offer my congratulations and out of curiosity. If I may be so bold as to ask, what is your relationship with His Majesty Xuchen?"

Lin Yi had anticipated this; since the other party had managed to find this place, they must already know some of the information.

He looked calm and made no attempt to hide anything. "I am honored that my master has accepted me as his disciple. I am his sixteenth disciple."

"As expected." A hint of understanding flashed in Xing Yi's eyes. She gently set down her teacup, a slight smile playing on her lips. "To catch His Xuchen's eye, your talent and potential seem far more astonishing than the assessment report indicated."

She paused, then her tone became formal, "In that case, Lin Yi, on behalf of the Human Race branch of the Pan-Spirit Alliance Virtual Network Company, I formally invite you to join us."

Before Lin Yi could respond, she continued, "I can immediately make the decision to provide you with Spirit Radiance Level training resources comparable to the top 1,000 geniuses in the Pan-Spirit Alliance Genius Battle. Furthermore, I will immediately apply to headquarters to secure Spirit Glory Level training resources comparable to the top 100 geniuses in the Pan -Pan-Spirit Alliance Genius Battle!"

Seeing the surprise flash in Lin Yi's eyes, Xing Yi assumed that Lin Yi was new to the universe and hadn't had time to learn about this kind of information in detail, so she explained, "The Pan-Spirit Alliance Genius Battle is a grand event for countless Star Core level geniuses. Those who can make it into the top 1,000 have a very high chance of advancing to the World Derivation level. And the top 100 are recognized as peerless geniuses with a very high probability of reaching the Eternal Divinity Realm."

She added, "Until you personally participate in the Genius Battle and prove yourself with your achievements, this is the greatest sincerity I can offer by exercising my authority. You should know that even His Majesty Xuchen only has two disciples who have reached the Eternal Realm."

"I can assert with certainty that no other force, whether it's the Star Realm Army or the Mercenary Alliance, could possibly offer a higher price than me at this stage."

Lin Yi was slightly taken aback. Compared to the resources of the top 100, he didn't expect that this being from the Virtual Network company, who was at the World Derivation level, would directly believe that he had the potential to challenge for the status of an Eternal Divinity.

Furthermore, she even learned about her senior brothers from Xing Yi.

After obtaining the Contact Mark, Lin Yi had tried to add those senior brothers and sisters as a sign of respect, but all attempts failed.

Xuanji's feedback was that both parties were in "closed-door cultivation, to be processed after completion".

He didn't pay much attention at the time; it's normal for powerful people to go into seclusion for hundreds or even thousands of years.

Moreover, thanks to his purple-level access, there was very little publicly available information about his senior brothers and sisters on the Pan-Spirit Alliance network, and it was all outdated data from hundreds of thousands of years ago, making it impossible to determine their current strength.

Unexpectedly, I learned from Xing Yi that two of my master's fifteen senior brothers and sisters had already become Eternal Divinity!

He couldn't help but marvel at the extraordinary information Dao Fruit of veteran powerhouses.

"I never expected that two of my master's disciples would already have reached the Eternal Realm. I just wonder who they are."

"And... they actually offered three tiers of rewards, instead of four."

Lin Yi felt a little curious.

Because he had already learned about the common methods used by major forces in the universe to recruit geniuses through Liyue.

According to Liyue, major factions typically categorize genius potential into five tiers. Although the names vary, they generally correspond to the results of the Pan-Spirit Alliance Genius Battle:

Tier 5: Expected to be among the top 10,000 in the Genius Battle.

Tier 4: Expected to break into the top 1,000.

Tier 3: Expected to be in the top 100.

Tier 2: Expected to enter the top ten.

Tier 1: Extremely confident of securing first place.

Liyue herself once received Tier 5 treatment, while her deceased father, World Derivation level, received Tier 4.

She had explicitly told Lin Yi that cross-species giants like the Pan-Spirit Alliance Virtual Network Company had their own rules for recruiting different types of geniuses. For example, level 7 geniuses appearing in the Human Race territory were usually recruited according to four levels of standards.

And this Xing Yi actually tried to apply for a "Spirit Glory Level" rating of level 3 for him right from the start.

This exceeded Liyue's expected price.

"Third gear." Lin Yi remained outwardly calm, but quickly weighed the options in his mind. "It's worth seeing what the differences are."

He looked at Xing Yi, "Thank you for your high regard, Xing Yi. May I ask how there are any differences between the third tier of ' Spirit Glory Level ' resources and the fourth tier?"

Seeing that Xing Yi Lin Yi did not show the expected elation, but instead calmly inquired about the details, Xingyi's admiration deepened.

She prefers to deal with rational people.

"The difference lies in the allocation of core resources," Xing Yi explained. "The basic funding, such as the 100 million Star Crystal needed for startup, and the higher Virtual Network privileges, may not be as vastly different from the top-tier 4 levels."

She paused, then emphasized, "The real turning point lies in two things. First, when you attempt to break through from the Star Domain level to the World Derivation level, you gain a precious opportunity to visit the ' Annihilation Divine Kingdom,' which is controlled by the company, for comprehension. That greatly aids in understanding the essence of the rules and condensing your own laws."

"And the second point, which I believe is most important to you at this stage," Xing Yi said, looking intently at Lin Yi, "Is that before reaching the World Derivation level, you can receive a fixed amount of ' Xi Enlightenment Essence ' every thousand years."

"Xi Enlightenment Essence?" Lin Yi repeated the name.

"Indeed," Xing Yi affirmed, "This is an extremely rare spiritual liquid."

"Its effect is to significantly enhance a cultivator's comprehension in a short period of time, cleansing the dust from their soul and bringing it closer to the origin of the rules. In other words, its effect is extremely weak on beings above the World Derivation level, which is why it's used as a reward to incentivize top geniuses. Such a treasure is simply impossible to circulate on the market."

She looked at Lin Yi and said frankly, "Applying for a three-tier rating for you across levels, even with my authority, involves a certain risk. If your subsequent performance, such as in the next Pan-Spirit Alliance Genius Battle, fails to prove you have the strength to be in the top 100, my internal rating will be affected, and your resource level may be downgraded. However..."

She changed the subject, full of confidence. "I trust my judgment, and I trust His Majesty Xuchen's judgment. I'm willing to take this gamble on you."

In her view, she might be able to remain calm about 100 million Star Crystal, but what genius could refuse a heaven-defying treasure like the "Xi Enlightenment Essence" that could directly enhance comprehension?

This is a temptation that almost directly targets one's weak spot.

However, Lin Yi's inner reaction was: That's it?

The allure of the Pan-Spirit Alliance Virtual Network Company instantly diminished for him.

Because after careful analysis, he realized that the so-called three levels of benefits did not represent a significant improvement for him.

funds?

The Xina Family provided over 100 million Star Crystal in the early stages, so he wasn't particularly short of them.

Permissions?

The purple-level permissions given by my master are currently more than enough.

Xi Enlightenment Essence?

One serving every thousand years. It sounds good, but when Lin Yi thought about the Spiritual Enlightenment Qi in his sea of consciousness, the attraction of this "Xi Enlightenment Essence" was greatly reduced.

Besides, who knows how effective this liquid will be for him? It doesn't even seem to have much effect on those at the World Derivation level, so it's clearly a inferior product compared to Clear Radiance Dew.

The only thing that's somewhat appealing is the opportunity to study the "Annihilation Divine Kingdom".

But that's something for the Star Domain level to reach perfection; it's still a long way off.

Moreover, according to information from Liyue, this kind of genius assessment is not a one-off deal.

After the initial assessment, adjustments will be made based on actual performance in the Pan-Spirit Alliance Genius Battle, and a reassessment will be conducted every ten thousand years thereafter.

In other words, of the "three tiers" promised by Xing Yi, the ones that can truly and reliably be obtained are likely the initial 100 million Star Crystal and the first "Xi Enlightenment Essence".

The next resource event a thousand years from now will depend on the performance of the Genius Battle.

Lin Yi believed that with his experience of rebirth and his current foundation, he had a good chance of making it into the top 100 or even higher in the Pan-Spirit Alliance Genius Battle a thousand years later.

At that time, even within the Mercenary Alliance, he would receive the same level of genius treatment.

In contrast, joining a Virtual Network company, while still allowing one to register mercenaries—just as every mercenary can use the Pan-Spirit Alliance network—ultimately makes one a "person of the company."

The high-quality missions and special missions within the Mercenary Alliance are only given to non-members after a round of screening by the inner circle.

After all, the Mercenary Alliance would prioritize its own core members, as it's best to keep the benefits within the family.

Leading the East Peak Mercenary Group to rise step by step within the Mercenary Alliance system not only enhances individual strength but also allows them to contribute back to the entire "Silver Moon Blue" civilization by completing missions and expanding channels, thus driving the civilization's overall development.

Lin Yi had a very clear feeling that, compared to his personal strength, his master Xuchen seemed to place more importance on the rating of "civilization" itself.

With this thought in mind, Lin Yi already had a preference.

He raised his head, meeting Xing Yi's confident and expectant gaze, and gave her a gentle, apologetic smile, "Xing Yi, thank you very much for your and Pan-Spirit Alliance Virtual Network Company's kindness. The conditions you offered are indeed very sincere, and I am truly flattered."

He changed the subject slightly, his tone becoming sincere. "However, this matter concerns my personal life and the future development path of the ' Silver Moon Blue ' civilization, and it involves a great deal of influence. Please forgive me for not being able to give an immediate answer to such an important decision; may I have time to consider it carefully?"

Upon hearing this, Xing Yi's eyes flashed with surprise, but she quickly regained her ethereal and composed demeanor.

Having seen countless people, she immediately understood that the young man before her was not putting on an act, but was genuinely weighing his options calmly.

These geniuses, who have emerged from the blood and fire of Primary Civilization and even shouldered the heavy responsibilities of civilization, possess a tenacity that is truly incomparable to the offspring nurtured in the greenhouses of interstellar families. They cannot be easily swayed by mere resources.

He clearly wanted to compare prices from different vendors.

However, Xing Yi remained confident in the conditions she had set.

She believed that once Lin Yi understood the recruitment conditions of other forces, he would realize that her sincerity was the greatest.

"Of course." Xing Yi stood up gracefully, her face still bearing a warm and welcoming smile. "Careful consideration is necessary. This is my Contact Mark; you can contact me anytime you make a decision."

She raised her hand, and a point of light, as dazzling as a condensed galaxy, flew towards Lin Yi, where it was received by Lin Yi's Xuanji.

"In addition."

Xing Yi's gaze swept across the reception room, as if she could see the entire Blue Star Civilization through the walls. "It's a pleasure to visit you. Here's a small gift to congratulate your civilization on its new beginning."

As soon as she finished speaking, her figure blurred like ripples in water, eventually disappearing completely from the reception hall without causing the slightest ripple.

Only in front of where she had just sat, floated an exquisite box, about the size of a palm, made entirely of some unknown starlight material, with a soft halo flowing across its surface, silently testifying to the arrival and departure of a powerful being at the World Derivation level.

Lin Yi looked at the floating gift box and recalled the Contact Mark left by Xing Yi, the meaning of which was like "the boundless starry sea, with ripples that never end". Thoughts swirled in his mind.

"World Derivation level Pan-Spirit Alliance Virtual Network Company. 3-tier resources."

"This Xing Yi is indeed very sincere, it's just a pity..." Lin Yi let out a soft breath, his gaze falling on the exquisite box with flowing starlight left by Xing Yi.

A "small gift" left behind by a powerful expert at the World Derivation level is by no means an ordinary item.

Lin Yi stepped forward and gently touched the lid of the box.

The box slid open silently, revealing no glittering jewels inside, only a card as thin as a cicada's wing, seemingly woven from starlight and data streams, floating within, hovering between reality and illusion, radiating a mysterious aura.

Lin Yi tried to gently pick up the card with his fingers, but the moment he touched it, something strange happened.

The card melted away like ice and snow, or like a drop of water flowing into a river; it instantly transformed into a stream of light, disappeared into Lin Yi's body, and vanished.

"Um?"

Lin Yi was slightly taken aback, and just as he was wondering what was going on, Xuanji's notification sound immediately rang in his mind:

"Special Information Flow detected. Parsing in progress."

"Analysis complete. Principal, your Pan-Spirit Alliance Virtual Network core permissions have been granted secondary extended functionality."

You now possess the [Green Permission Grant] qualification, which allows you to temporarily or permanently upgrade the Virtual Network permissions of designated individuals to the "Green" level.

Lin Yi was slightly taken aback.

Green access!

This might not mean much to him, but it is of great significance to other Star Core level on Blue Star, and even to those elites who are about to embark on their journey into the starry sea.

Green access means broader access to information, earlier exposure to interstellar knowledge, and a more convenient communication platform!

This is truly a godsend.

Putting everything else aside, Lin Yi immediately thought of using this precious "green privilege" as a reward to incentivize those who have made outstanding contributions to Blue Star or performed Star Core level well in the subsequent selections of the East Peak Mercenary Group.

This is more effective than any material reward in motivating them and can also improve the overall understanding of the Blue Star more quickly.

"What a clever gift," Lin Yi thought to himself.

This Xing Yi clearly understood his needs as the leader of a civilization.

Instead of bestowing ostentatious treasures, she granted this "authority" that could genuinely improve the efficiency of the early development of the entire civilization.

This gift hits the nail on the head, its value Transcendent Tier Star Crystal or other resources.

Even if he ultimately chooses not to join the Pan-Spirit Alliance Virtual Network Company, he must still remember this favor.

This person in charge at the World Derivation level is indeed extraordinary in their actions.

Time flies, and peaceful yet fulfilling days slip by quietly as I cultivate myself, handle government affairs, and participate in the affairs of the East Peak Mercenary Group through the Virtual Network.

Seventeen years have passed in the blink of an eye.

Aurelia has successfully registered with the "East Peak Mercenary Group" and accepted her first short-distance escort mission, which will last for one year. Everything is going smoothly.

Lin Yi's cultivation of source energy is steadily improving, and his understanding of the Life Rule is also deepening day by day.

On this day, Lin Yi was analyzing a complex report about the internal power structure of the Purple Gold Star Union, which Xuanji had compiled from the Virtual Network.

Sudden.

"Principal, we have received multiple alerts from the 'Guardian-V' defense system!" Xuanji's voice rang out.

"Landslide signal detected in LB-7392113-F, numbering over two hundred ships! Energy response assessment is extremely high. The fleet composition is complex, including large transport ships, armed frigates, and at least ten flagship units with Star Domain level energy fluctuations."

Lin Yi stood up abruptly, a glint of shrewdness flashing in his eyes.

It's here!
