"How about it?"
"Our human civilization only needs one-fifth of the Aurora; this isn''t too much to ask."
The strongest one Gu Li spoke calmly, but within this twisted space-time, the aura of the other eight strongest ones was unmistakably present.
The other more than ten strongest ones nced at each other.
Behind them also stood other ultimate beings, but the nine strongest ones from human civilization were indeed difficult to deal with.
"Fine."
The strongest one with a single horn finallypromised.
There was no other choice.
If they didn''t first satisfy the demands of human civilization, the subsequent division of the spoils couldn''t proceed.Swoosh.
The strongest one Gu Li raised his hand and took one-fifth of the Aurora, then disappeared from this space-time.
Once Gu Li left, the auras of the eight strongest ones from human civilization quickly withdrew as well.
"The Tianyu n also suffered heavy losses," the ancestor of the Tianyu n slowly spoke, attempting to replicate human civilization''s earlier actions by iming a portion of the Aurora first.
In the domain of human civilization.
The minds and wills of the nine strongest ones rapidlymunicated.
"This segment of Aurora contains a deep power of causal curse and killing. Before refining it into an ultimate weapon, we could let those talented evolversprehend it for a while."
"Indeed, although thew of causality isn''t a pirw, it is one of the most mysterious and uniquews. The more one understands it, the more benefits there are."
"Then let me be the one to refine this segment of Aurora."
The nine strongest ones quickly decided on the use of the Aurora.
Refine it into an ultimate weapon.
However, before refining, they could allow some of the talented younger generation from human civilization to experience the essence of the Aurora up close.
In the personal world of the strongest one, Xia Qin.
Xia Qin sat high on his throne, as if pondering something.
After a while.
Lin Yuan appeared.
"Strongest one," Lin Yuan bowed slightly.
The more Lin Yuan cultivated, the more he felt the greatness of the strongest ones.
This greatness far exceeded mere strength; their very essence of life, the height at which they existed, was beyond theprehension of beings bound to the river of time.
"How have your recent cultivation efforts been? Have you encountered any bottlenecks?" Xia Qin asked with concern.
Xia Qin cared deeply for Lin Yuan because, in his eyes, Lin Yuan was the most likely evolver of this era in human civilization to reach the ultimate level.
If human civilization could produce a tenth strongest one, the pressure they bore would naturally lessen.
"Everything is going well," Lin Yuan nodded.
"Going well" was an understatement.
Fifty years ago, Lin Yuan had onlyprehended two types of pir-level fusionws.
But now, Lin Yuan had mastered six types of pir-level fusionws, among which thews of life and death reincarnation had reached the second realm, and the great destructionw was also nearing the second realm.
Achievements that ordinary tenth-rank evolvers couldn''t attain in tens of millions of years, Lin Yuan had aplished in just fifty years.
Moreover, aside fromprehending fusionws, Lin Yuan had made significant progress in thews of space, time, and the three protective secret arts of the Mysterious Emperor lineage.
"As long as things are going well."
Xia Qin did not inquire further.
The path of evolution was an extremely personal matter.
With Lin Yuan''s talent and aptitude, he had already forged his own path.
If Xia Qin were to intervene forcefully, it would not be a good thing.
What Xia Qin could do now was to solve any worries Lin Yuan might have.
"In a while, there will be an opportunity toprehend that segment of the Aurora''s essence, and I will ensure that you get to go," Xia Qin said directly.
"The essence of the Aurora?"
"Is it the Aurora that shattered therge alien battlefield numbered A076?"
Lin Yuan''s eyes lit up, and he immediately asked.
"That''s correct," Xia Qin nodded.
There was no need to hide this matter.
"Through negotiations between our human civilization and those alien strongest ones, we finally secured one-fifth of the entire Aurora."
Xia Qin briefly exined.
"Negotiation?"
"One-fifth?"
Lin Yuan blinked.
Among peak civilizations, strength is always paramount—negotiate? What negotiation?
And one-fifth? ording to what Lin Yuan knew, there were ten strongest ones who participated in blocking that Aurora.
This doesn''t even include the strongest ones who wanted to im a share afterward.
For human civilization to directly im one-fifth—that was truly domineering.
"Strongest one, where did this Aurorae from?" Lin Yuan asked.
He knew that the Aurora came from beyond the permanent space rift, in the chaotic void.
But exactly where, and why something like the ''Aurora'' would be born, he did not know.
"This Aurora likelyes from the ''Taiyuan Ruins,''" Xia Qin pondered for a moment before speaking.
"Taiyuan Ruins?" Lin Yuan was slightly stunned.
"That''s right. Among the dangerous areas detected within the chaotic void, the Taiyuan Ruins are one of the nine major perilous ces," Xia Qin, the strongest one, said.
Lin Yuan listened obediently.
Xia Qin''s words clearly referred to things beyond the universe.
"Is the Taiyuan Ruins this dangerous?" Lin Yuan noticed that Xia Qin used the term ''perilous ce'' to describe the Taiyuan Ruins.
"Naturally, very dangerous," Xia Qin nodded. "Even a twelfth-rank lifeform, with one careless mistake, could bepletely trapped within the Taiyuan Ruins," Xia Qin exined.
Moreover, the dangers of the Taiyuan Ruins are not limited to within the ruins; sometimes, various forbidden items are ejected from the depths of the ruins.
These forbidden items vary in impact, ranging from negligible to immeasurable.
"In the universe, twelfth-rank lifeforms are invincible and can at most be severely injured," Xia Qin said with a sigh, "But outside the universe, in the chaotic void, twelfth-rank lifeforms still face the possibility of death."
Lin Yuan nodded.
A century or two ago, the corpse of a strongest one that drifted in from outside the universe made Lin Yuan realize that even the strongest ones could die.
Strongest ones have merely transcended the river of time, without the limitation of lifespan, but that doesn''t mean they are immortal.
"Of course, the chaotic void holds great opportunities as well. For us twelfth-rank beings to progress further and transform into perfect time lifeforms, there is only a slim chance to achieve it within the chaotic void," Xia Qin said.
"Perfect time lifeforms?" Lin Yuan''s thoughts wandered.
Ninth-rank lifeforms are also known as multi-dimensional lifeforms.
From ninth-rank to eleventh-rank lifeforms, the transformation is from multi-dimensional lifeforms towards time lifeforms.
Until reaching the twelfth rank.
The twelfth-rank ultimate beings are barely considered half-time lifeforms.
They upy the past and present, roaming along the ''banks'' of the river of time.
But ultimate beings still have goals to pursue: to transform into perfect time lifeforms.
Simply put, the goal of twelfth-rank ultimate beings is to attempt to upy the future.
Only lifeforms that simultaneously upy the past, present, and future can be called perfect time lifeforms.
It is said that perfect time lifeforms can see infinitely far into the future with a nce, and can also return to the ancient past.
Theoretically, if perfect time lifeforms wish, they couldpletely alter past history and shape the future as they desire.
However.
Lin Yuan had never heard of the existence of a perfect time lifeform.
Even His Majesty the Mysterious Sovereign and the master of the Devil Jade Tower are far from being perfect time lifeforms; they are simply much stronger than most twelfth-rank ultimate beings.
"The chaotic void holds great opportunities, but unfortunately, we lifeforms within the universe, even at the twelfth rank, cannot leave," Xia Qin, the strongest one, sighed, as if thinking of something.
"Cannot leave?"
Lin Yuan was puzzled.
The permanent space rift is right there.
Why can''t they leave?
"The universe has its own will. Beings like us at the twelfth rank have consumed an enormous amount of cosmic energy. If we try to break free and enter the chaotic void, we will inevitably be met with the universe''s will, which will do everything to stop us," Xia Qin exined.
"I see."
Lin Yuan immediately understood.
"So, the only way for us to enter the chaotic void is to wait until the end of this cosmic epoch, when all things perish," Xia Qin said, his tone carrying a hint of emotion.
It was clear that the situation wasn''t as simple as he made it seem.
When the cosmic epoch ends and all things copse, the strongest ones must survive topletely break free from the universe''s constraints.
If they cannot survive, they will naturally perish along with the universe.
However, the universe will be reborn after its destruction, but the strongest ones do not have that capability.
If a strongest one perishes along with the universe, everything they are will be reduced to the most chaotic force, supporting the birth of the next cosmic epoch.
Normally, among ten twelfth-rank ultimate beings, at most half would survive the end of a cosmic epoch.
Only the twelfth-rank ultimate beings who survive the end of the cosmic epoch have the confidence to venture into the chaotic void.
After leaving the strongest one''s personal world.
Lin Yuan''s thoughts were slightly stirred.
From Xia Qin he had learned much about higher-level information.
For example, the nine great perilous ces of the chaotic void? Or the limitations the strongest ones face within the universe?
"These things are still too far away from me."
Lin Yuan thought for a while, then stopped dwelling on it.
He was only at the tenth rank now, still a long way from the twelfth rank.
And the end of the cosmic epoch? ording to Xia Qin only one-tenth of this cosmic epoch had passed since the universe''s birth.
This meant that there were still nine-tenths of a cosmic epoch left, which wouldst more than trillions of years.
So far, Lin Yuan had spent less than two hundred years in the main universe.
Meanwhile.
Outside the universe where Lin Yuan was located.
In the chaotic void filled with gray mist.
A ''white paper'' was speeding in a certain direction.
Upon closer inspection, one would find that this ''white paper'' seemed tock the concept of ''thickness,'' having only length and width.
Within the ''white paper,'' mist filled the space, vaguely epassing a vast world.
The entire ''white paper'' resembled a painting scroll, graceful and mysterious.
However, what was unimaginable was that...
Wherever the ''white paper'' passed, the space in the chaotic void began to copse slightly, quickly losing the concept of spatial thickness, and even time became extremelypressed, as if suddenly dropping from three dimensions to two dimensions.
Swoosh.
In an instant.
The ''white paper'' vanished into the dense chaotic airflow.
