Creating Heavenly Laws

"Three Nether Time Index?" (I changed the name)

The strongest one, Xia Qin, was somewhat shocked. As the ultimate being of the Xia You evolution path, he was well aware of what the Three Nether Time Index signified.

At the very least, one had to have an extremely high understanding of the rules of time to even hope to grasp the Three Nether Time Index.

In this regard, the fact that this time index is included in the eleventh rank of the Xia You evolution path speaks volumes.

Most evolvers who have just entered the eleventh rank have not yet comprehended this time index. And now, Lin Yuan, a ninth-rank lifeform, has understood it?

"Are you sure it's the Three Nether Time Index?" Xia Qin, the strongest one, looked at Lin Yuan and asked.

In truth, the strongest one, Xia Qin, already had the answer in his heart. How could someone of his stature forget what was just said?

"Yes, it's the Three Nether Time Index," Lin Yuan nodded.

The nine strongest ones of human civilization were absolutely trustworthy. Apart from a few secrets like the Gate of Myriad Realms, the Mysterious Gourd, and the Mysterious Emperor's Secret Realm, there was no need to hide anything else.

Especially when it came to understanding the rules of time, which were not something to be plundered. The more Lin Yuan revealed, the more attention he would receive.

The most crucial point was that if he didn't directly state where he was confused, how could he get guidance from the strongest ones?

"The Three Nether Time Index is a kind of measurement of time flow," Xia Qin, the strongest one, stared at Lin Yuan for a moment before starting to explain.

Upon hearing this, countless insights surged in Lin Yuan's mind, and numerous doubts regarding the rules of time were resolved.

[Your Unrivaled Insight allows you to perceive the essence of the time rules, deepening your understanding of the 1,823rd time model.]

[Your Unrivaled Insight allows you to perceive the essence of the time rules, deepening your understanding of the 1,823rd time model.]

[Your Unrivaled Insight allows you to perceive the essence of the time rules, comprehending the 1,823rd time model.]

After just listening for half an hour, Lin Yuan completely understood the time model that had been troubling him and gained a new understanding of the rules of time.

"Time, this is time."

Lin Yuan was elated. Xia Qin's explanation of the Three Nether Time Index had shown him another aspect of time, rather than just being limited to this particular time index.

This was truly a case of "understanding one to infer ten, or even a hundred."

On his throne, Xia Qin, the strongest one, noticed Lin Yuan was silent and waited for a while before asking, "How is it? Did you understand? Should I explain it again?"

Generally, even an eleventh-rank evolver would be extremely confused when first encountering the concept of the Three Nether Time Index, and even after his dedicated explanation, they would remain perplexed for some time.

It required constant verification with the time rules of the main universe to gradually understand.

"Thank you, strongest one, I've already understood," Lin Yuan quickly said.

At this moment, Lin Yuan had completely understood the Three Nether Time Index, and he had also comprehended all 1,823 time models.

In the short term, Lin Yuan would not encounter any bottlenecks in the rules of time.

"Huh?"

"You already understand?"

Xia Qin, the strongest one, fell silent once again.

'I just explained it once, and you already understand?'

Xia Qin observed Lin Yuan closely, somewhat incredulous.

"Yes." Lin Yuan raised his right hand, instantly constructing the 1,823rd time model, with threads of time power weaving around his fingertips.

Whether it was a space model or a time model, they were both expressions of understanding the essence of space and time by the pioneering scholars of human civilization, presented in a form that was easier for the public to understand.

"Hmm," Xia Qin, the strongest one, glanced at the time model Lin Yuan had constructed and knew immediately that he truly understood.

If you don't understand, you can't construct such a time model.

Even copying wouldn't work.

In terms of understanding the rules, either you get it, or you don't.

"Lin Yuan..." Xia Qin, the strongest one, looked at Lin Yuan with complex emotions. "You've really surprised me."

He had long been aware of everything that happened in the Mysterious Emperor's Secret Realm. Originally, he thought Lin Yuan had a profound understanding of the essence of space, but he didn't expect that his understanding in the domain of time rules was just as deep.

Comprehending the 1,823rd time model? When did he achieve this?

And Lin Yuan comprehended it at the ninth rank?

Doesn't this mean that his aptitude in the rules of time surpasses that of the strongest ones of the same period?

If Lin Yuan were a special lifeform, it would be understandable. Some special lifeforms with time attributes find it easy to comprehend time rules.

Just like how the Star-Sea Kun easily comprehends space rules.

But Lin Yuan isn't even a special lifeform, let alone having the bloodline of one.

"Luck, just luck. I happened to have been understanding it quite smoothly recently," Lin Yuan humbly said.

"Understanding it quite smoothly?" Xia Qin, the strongest one, felt that something didn't sound quite right.

"The rules of time are very important." Xia Qin, the strongest one, pondered for a moment before saying, "The earlier you fully comprehend the rules of time, the more beneficial it will be for your future."

"If you can comprehend all the time models before stepping into the tenth rank, come find me again," said Xia Qin, the strongest one.

So far, human civilization has constructed 2,173 time models.

Comprehending all the time rule models would only mean that one's understanding of the time rules had reached a certain height, but there was still a distance to fully comprehending time rules.

To complete this journey, the evolver has to rely on their own insights and understanding.

Of course, certain external forces could also have a catalytic effect in this regard.

"Understood." Lin Yuan nodded. "Then I'll take my leave now."

As Lin Yuan finished speaking, a figure suddenly appeared beside him.

It was also someone coming to pay respects to Xia Qin, the strongest one.

"Vice Tower Master Nalan?" Lin Yuan was slightly taken aback, recognizing the other person.

Vice Tower Master Nalan was the vice master of the Xiayou Evolution Tower, presided over by Xia Qin, the strongest one.

Earlier, when humanity was dealing with the Insect Race's actions on the alien battlefield, and when they were settling accounts with the Black Abyss Clan, it was Vice Tower Master Nalan who took action.

Vice Tower Master Nalan single-handedly suppressed several tenth-rank ancestors of the Black Abyss Clan, forcing them to hide in the Black Abyss Secret Realm and eventually collapsing the entire edge region of the Black Abyss Clan before leaving.

Moreover, when Xia Qin, the strongest one, bestowed the Divine Sealing Bead, it was Vice Tower Master Nalan who personally traveled a great distance to deliver it to Lin Yuan.

Now, Lin Yuan had some understanding of Vice Tower Master Nalan's strength—tenth rank, class A, and a formidable presence even among class A.

Currently, the nine evolution towers of human civilization all have vice masters who are tenth rank. As for why they are not eleventh rank?

Every eleventh rank existence is preparing for the ultimate breakthrough. Even if there is little hope, they would not give up easily.

The vice master position in the evolution towers primarily handles various affairs outside the evolution path, which are matters the strongest ones have no interest in, and the eleventh-rank evolvers don't have time for.

Therefore, the vice masters are usually tenth-rank evolvers.

However, to maintain the dignity of the position, those who become vice masters are at least class A of the tenth rank, and Vice Tower Master Nalan is one of the top in class A.

"Milky Way Star Lord," Vice Tower Master Nalan nodded slightly, recognizing Lin Yuan.

Nowadays, the name of the Milky Way Star Lord is extremely prominent within human civilization. It's hard not to notice with all the various achievements attached to his name.

However, Vice Tower Master Nalan didn't have any particular emotions about it because the Milky Way Star Lord indeed had earned that reputation. At least, Vice Tower Master Nalan couldn't have reached such heights at the ninth rank.

Whoosh.

Lin Yuan withdrew from the personal world of the strongest one.

"Strongest one," Vice Tower Master Nalan raised his head, looking up at Xia Qin, the strongest one, seated on the high throne.

"The strongest one seems to be in a good mood?" Vice Tower Master Nalan was curious. It was rare to see the strongest one exhibit any emotion.

At their level, eternal and enduring, few things could truly interest them.

"I've glimpsed the future of human civilization," Xia Qin, the strongest one, said with a smile. Lin Yuan, at the ninth rank, had such an understanding of the time rules.

Combined with his establishment of the Martial Dao Evolution System, Xia Qin, the strongest one, believed that Lin Yuan had a much better chance of reaching the ultimate level than other eleventh-rank evolvers of human civilization.

"The future of human civilization?" Vice Tower Master Nalan was puzzled. Only the most exalted of the strongest ones could bear such a title.

Milky Way Main Star.

Lin Yuan sat cross-legged.

"The guidance from the strongest one indeed saved me from taking some detours," Lin Yuan smiled.

Without Xia Qin's explanation, it might have taken him several months or even a year or two to comprehend the Three Nether Time Index.

"However, this guidance's effectiveness is entirely based on my accumulated knowledge."

Lin Yuan thought to himself.

Before seeking advice from the strongest one, Lin Yuan had already been stuck on this bottleneck for some time and had made various attempts.

Because of this, Xia Qin's explanation immediately made sense to Lin Yuan.

If he had not made those prior attempts and sought advice from the strongest one at the first sign of a bottleneck, the result would not have been as effective.

"Xia Qin, the strongest one, said that after I comprehended all the time models, I should visit him again..." Lin Yuan recalled the strongest one's instruction before leaving.

Milky Way Main Star.

Chun Bo, Jia Li, and other administrators, including Red Skin and Green Eyes, came to visit Lin Yuan.

Normally, the affairs of the Milky Way Main Star and even the entire Milky Way Star Domain were decided by them, and then the results were reported to Lin Yuan.

They would only visit Lin Yuan if they encountered matters they couldn't resolve or didn't have the authority to decide.

"Star Lord," Chun Bo, Jia Li, and the others were all very respectful. Just by looking at the young man sitting cross-legged on the ground, they felt a trembling in their hearts, unable to muster even a thought of resistance.

It was as if ordinary citizens or first-rank evolvers were facing a Star-Sea Kun as large as a planet, with the oppression of life essence leaving them with no desire to oppose.

"The Star Lord has already been restraining his aura as much as possible, but we still feel immense pressure. How strong is the Star Lord?" The administrators speculated.

"Nowadays, the Star Lord's reputation in human civilization surpasses that of many tenth-rank evolvers. The events in the Mysterious Emperor's Secret Realm have made many alien races both fear and hate the Star Lord."

As eighth-rank evolvers, the administrators were well-informed and aware of the recent events in the Mysterious Emperor's Secret Realm.

"The Star Lord's strength now must far exceed that of the former master," Red Skin and Green Eyes, the two eighth-rank aliens, marveled.

"The former master was worried that the Star Lord would be bullied when he first entered the eighth rank and took charge of the Star Domain. Now, who would dare to bully the Star Lord?"

Red Skin and Green Eyes were filled with emotion. They were considered Lin Yuan's loyal followers, from being the Red Kun Star Lord to the current Milky Way Star Lord.

As aliens, Red Skin and Green Eyes were destined not to achieve much within human civilization. Their only support was the Milky Way Star Lord.

"What's the matter?"

Lin Yuan opened his eyes, with most of his mind still focused on cultivation, and looked at the people before him.

He had long left orders that he should not be disturbed unless it was a matter that could not be decided or would affect the entire Star Domain.

This was also the norm for most Star Lords in charge of a Star Domain, spending most of their time in seclusion.

"Star Lord," Red Skin respectfully said, "Recently, the Shadow Race contacted us, hoping to establish a trade route with the Milky Way Star Domain."

"The Shadow Race?"

"A trade route?"

Lin Yuan's thoughts moved, and he immediately understood the details of the matter.

The territory of the Milky Way Star Domain originally belonged to the Shadow Race.

However, they were forced to retreat after losing to the Human Civilization Alliance on the alien battlefield.

So, in reality, the Milky Way Star Domain borders the territory of the Shadow Race.

"I see."

Lin Yuan's expression was thoughtful.

No wonder Chun Bo, Jia Li, and the other administrators made a special visit to Lin Yuan.

This was indeed a decision they couldn't make.

Establishing a trade route with an alien race was always a sensitive issue, especially when the race in question was an enemy of human civilization.

"Some of the Shadow Race's resources are indeed quite useful to human civilization," Lin Yuan thought silently.

For example, the Shadow Stone, a specialty of the Shadow Race, is a necessary material for building high-level warships, enhancing their stealth capabilities.

"Agreed."

Lin Yuan considered for a moment and decided to agree.

Engaging in moderate trade with alien races could accelerate the development of the Star Domain.

If Lin Yuan were still at the eighth rank, he would certainly avoid getting involved with the Shadow Race. But now, he was already at the ninth rank and was progressing towards the tenth rank.

The threat from the Shadow Race was no longer something he worried about.

As long as the trade was controlled and certain trade resources on the human civilization side were regulated, there would be no problems.

Of course.

The most important point was.

The initiative in establishing the trade route with the Shadow Race was entirely in Lin Yuan's hands, and he could stop it at any time.

"Understood."

Chun Bo, Jia Li, and the other administrators exchanged glances, knowing exactly what to do.

In fact, trading with the Shadow Race was definitely more beneficial than harmful, but no one dared to make that decision except the Star Lord.

"Any major events in the Star Domain recently?" Lin Yuan asked.

"No major events," Green Eyes replied carefully, "With the Star Lord's reputation spreading, more and more business groups are willing to establish branches on the Main Star. The development of the Main Star is far faster than anticipated."

For the rapid development of a fringe Star Domain in human civilization, the first key consideration was stability and security.

A fringe Star Domain that borders alien races often encounters conflicts and contacts, making the strength of the Star Lord crucial.

A strong Star Lord can protect the Star Domain, bringing a great sense of security to all the citizens within it.

In such a situation, large corporations and groups are naturally willing to establish themselves there.

After all, fringe Star Domains are not only fully open but also represent untapped potential, with endless wealth for those who seize it.

After discussing with Chun Bo, Jia Li, and the other administrators to understand the current situation of the Milky Way Star Domain, Lin Yuan waved them away.

"Now, the Milky Way Star Domain has started to turn a profit."

"The taxes alone from the past two years have reached eight thousand cubic universe crystals."

Lin Yuan thought to himself. Eight thousand cubic universe crystals are roughly equivalent to the entire fortune of an eighth-rank evolver.

Of course, the Milky Way Star Domain's revenue is not unrelated to Lin Yuan's influence. An ordinary eighth-rank Star Lord, no matter how well they manage their Star Domain, could never reach this level of income.

Deep within the Mysterious Emperor's Secret Realm.

Lin Yuan sat cross-legged, his internal energy fluctuating before finally settling, permeating every inch of his flesh.

"The Mysterious Emperor's Body has finally reached minor accomplishment." Lin Yuan smiled.

Simultaneously, an invisible field spread ten feet around him, centered on his body.

This was the Mysterious Emperor's Light of Protection.

Only after the Mysterious Emperor's Body reaches minor accomplishment does this ability emerge, capable of blocking all attacks.

Be it physical attacks, soul attacks, or even rule-based attacks, all are within the defense range of the Mysterious Emperor's Light of Protection.

As long as the Mysterious Emperor's Light of Protection isn't broken, no calamity can harm Lin Yuan.

This is the power of the Mysterious Emperor Lineage's three great protective secret methods, symbolizing the terrifying defense of this secret art.

"The Mysterious Emperor's Body at minor accomplishment..." Lin Yuan thought of the consumed Mysterious Emperor Crystals and felt a bit of heartache.

At least a billion cubic universe crystals' worth of Mysterious Emperor Crystals were spent just to push this secret method to minor accomplishment, not counting the weapons and secret treasures Lin Yuan had devoured.

"My current defense capability, relying solely on the Mysterious Emperor's Light of Protection, can't be broken by those special ninth-rank beings," Lin Yuan looked slightly more pleased. Though he had paid a lot, the return was equally gratifying.

"And then there's the Mysterious Emperor Strike." Lin Yuan raised his right hand, with threads of energy gathering.

Besides the improvement in the Mysterious Emperor's Body, Lin Yuan had also advanced the Mysterious Emperor Strike to the second stage.

With every move, he could maintain a 'constant' state that exceeds his own power by three times.

This explosive secret method, despite consuming more energy, had no hidden dangers and could maintain a 'constant' state.

In simple terms, once activated, there was no cooldown time.

"Let's continue cultivating." Lin Yuan briefly examined himself before resuming his training.

With his current strength, he could certainly be considered formidable within the ninth and tenth ranks, but he was still far from reaching the pinnacle of the universe.

Even with the protection of the strongest ones of human civilization, Lin Yuan still believed that holding power in his own hands was the safest.

Relying on the protection of the strongest ones? It's better to become the strongest one himself.

Time passed slowly.

The various races of the cosmic starry sky were secretly stirring.

Lin Yuan was also continuously enhancing his strength through relentless cultivation.

In the blink of an eye, twenty years had passed.
