Chapter 138: Chapter 19: Star Domain Evolution Rankings, Founders Circle
Human Race Frontier.
This was a desolate expanse of starry sky.
Within tens of light-years, there existed no resource planets or life planets.
At that moment, three massive consciousnesses penetrated the starry sky, descending upon this location.
"Are we all gathered?"
"Let's discuss the important matters now,"
The three massive consciousnesses rapidly exchanged information, quickly completing the intelligence swap.
These three massive consciousnesses, from different species, were responsible for summarizing intelligence within the Human Race.
There was no choice; the pressure the Human Race brought upon the surrounding species was too immense.
Even the supremely arrogant Insect Race was forced to form an alliance with other species.
To jointly counteract the Human Race.
"Right," the first massive consciousness that had spoken emitted, "The Chikun Star Lord has recently taken a disciple, which needs attention."
The Chikun Star Lord was extremely adept at mentoring disciples; among the twelve disciples he had taken, three had surpassed the Sixth Rank, a frighteningly high probability.
Since his disciple from ten thousand years ago was assassinated, the Chikun Star Lord's enthusiasm had cooled, and he hadn't taken any disciples ever since.
This time, however, he broke his usual practice and took a disciple, evidently holding high expectations.
"I have also heard about this matter, that disciple's potential and talents must be quite exceptional, otherwise he wouldn't attract Chikun to take him as a disciple, what now? Should this person be added to the assassination list?"
The second massive consciousness spoke.
Rather than waiting for this new disciple to grow, it would be better to nip him in the bud.
"Added to the assassination list? Even if he is added, what then? Do you know the identity of the person?"
The third massive consciousness spoke.
Upon this statement,
The other two massive consciousnesses fell silent.
Indeed.
Up to now, their knowledge about the new disciple recently taken by the Chikun Star Lord was pitifully scant.
"The official statement from Red Kun Lineage is that this new disciple was discovered by the Chikun Star Lord during his travels through the universe on some planet, then brought back to be nurtured for a few years before being officially... "
"I find that possibility unlikely,"
"Not long ago, Chikun Star Lord initiated the Seven Star Cave test, then announced the acceptance of this new disciple, both events' timing seems too coincidental."
...
The three massive consciousnesses had thoughts that operated exceedingly fast, soon linking this new disciple with the recent competition.
"Seven Star Cave test?"
"To my knowledge, the test of the Seven Star Cave initiated by the Chikun Star Lord selected testers from 120,000 life planets in the Dawn Star System."
"Over 1.2 million testers entered into the Seven Star Cave World."
"Could it possibly be that you guys want to include all these 1.2 million evolvers on the assassination list?"
The second massive consciousness said.
What does assassination mean?
Assassinating one or two people, that's called assassination.
Assassinating one or two million people… that's called slaughter.
If the Different Species had such capability, why would they form an alliance? They could simply exterminate Human Civilization directly.
"Indeed."
The other two massive consciousnesses also found it troublesome.
That the new disciple came from the Seven Star Cave test was merely their speculation, and even if it was true, they were unable to proceed to the next step.
The scope was simply too broad.
Of course, with the strength of the Different Species, if they really threw caution to the wind, it's not just about erasing 1.2 million evolvers, even erasing the entire Dawn Star System could be done directly.
But that would then necessitate a larger, more unacceptable price to be paid afterward.
"Forget it."
"Let's see how things unfold,"
After discussing for a long time, the three massive consciousnesses decided to temporarily stand down.
Ten thousand years ago, that disciple of the Chikun Star Lord had exposed himself.
If this new disciple leaks any information in the future, there would be no harm in taking action then.
Even if he didn't leak any information,
It would merely mean the addition of one more existence surpassing the Sixth Rank.
For the overall war trend between the Human Race and the surrounding Different Species, it wouldn't make much difference.
...
Canglan Star.
Central Continent Manor.
"I suppose I'm already under the attention of the Different Species?"
Lin Yuan sat in the underground training arena, thinking to himself.
The celebration ceremony held by Red Kun Lineage made too much noise.
Countless evolvers and major powers were paying attention; surely those Different Species must have noticed as well.
Of course, even if Red Kun Lineage hadn't held a celebration, it was not certain to escape the surveillance of the Different Species; skulking about may instead have drawn more significant attention from the Different Species.
Considering this, it might as well be more straightforward and reveal himself, especially since the Different Species didn't know Lin Yuan's true identity.
Lin Yuan predicted that the Different Species at most might link him to the Seven Star Cave test initiated by the Chikun Star Lord.
But that would be all; among the 1.2 million testers who entered the Seven Star Cave, the range was too vast to be investigated.
Even if, for argument's sake,
They traced it back to Lin Yuan and attempted assassination, under the protection of Hou Ming, a Sixth Rank Evolver, it would not pose any threat.
Unless the Different Species sent an existence surpassing the Sixth Rank, but with the three life-saving tokens bestowed by the Chikun Star Lord, even an existence surpassing the Sixth Rank couldn't kill Lin Yuan.
Lin Yuan felt that the Different Species likely wouldn't send an existence surpassing the Sixth Rank to assassinate him, even if they knew his real identity.
After all, in the eyes of outsiders, even if he were taken as a disciple by the Chikun Star Lord, his ultimate limit would just be the same as his eldest senior brother, and his second and third senior brothers, becoming an existence surpassing the Sixth Rank.
Completely not worth sacrificing an assassin surpassing the Sixth Rank.
In the territory of the Human Race, if the Different Species dared to carry out an assassination, the assassin basically couldn't escape.
It would be a one-for-one trade.
"Continue training."
Lin Yuan closed his eyes and resumed his training.
Whatever the time, the most important thing was one's own strength.
Without strength, everything else was just talk. Even with the protection of a Star Lord, one would face the ultimate limit of life, and only by continuously growing stronger and breaking through can one persist indefinitely.
