The Sixth Star Cave.
Lin Yuan's figure appeared.
"Walk to the opposite side to pass."
"Tip: There is no concern for life in this star cave."
Lin Yuan glanced at the stone tablet next to him.
Written on it was the method to pass this star cave.
"To the opposite side?"
Lin Yuan looked up.
The so-called 'opposite side' was probably about ten steps away.
Lin Yuan looked around.
Within these ten steps, there were dozens of evolvers scattered around.
These evolvers, whether standing still, pondering with their heads down, or stopping in their tracks, all had different expressions.
"This star cave test still focuses on the soul aspect. It should not be just simple soul attacks."
Lin Yuan pondered.
The evolvers within ten steps, though with different expressions, were generally calm and did not have the posture of enduring attacks.
After observing for a while and confirming that there was no problem, Lin Yuan took a step towards the 'opposite side'.
In an instant.
The surrounding scenery changed.
Lin Yuan was seated on the top floor of a luxurious building, and through the huge French windows, he could clearly see the outside world.
Spaceships and battleships were landing one after another, and beyond the planets, there were star forts as large as the sun and moon guarding.
"Is my current identity the richest tycoon in the Red Kun Star Domain? Is my wealth enough to buy a galaxy? Do I have business dealings with other star domains and even alien races?"
A large amount of memories appeared in his mind out of thin air.
This quickly made Lin Yuan understand his current situation.
"Master, the six-level resource planet you purchased a month ago has now been fully taken over. This six-level resource planet is rich in various precious ores and can bring in an annual income of 23 trillion universe coins."
"Master, the interest from the central bank's deposits last year has all been credited, bringing in approximately 12 quadrillion universe coins."
"Master, the dividend for shareholders of the Universal Galaxy Company you invested in this year is 830 trillion universe coins."
"Master."
Intelligent robots stood not far away, constantly reporting various incomes.
As for the unit of measurement, it was not the 'civilization coins' of the Human Alliance, but the higher-level 'universe coins'.
Compared to the 'civilization coins' that could only be used within the human territory, 'universe coins' could be used in many ethnic territories.
The conversion ratio between the two was one to ten thousand.
Ten thousand civilization coins could be exchanged for one universe coin.
"So wealthy."
Lin Yuan checked his account balance, and the string of zeros behind made him couldn't help but exclaim.
"Unfortunately, it's all an illusion."
Lin Yuan sighed lightly, and the surrounding scenes began to shatter.
Returning to the Sixth Star Cave.
"So, with each step taken, you will experience a different illusion?"
Lin Yuan pondered, realizing that he had taken the first step and would now have to take the second step.
"Illusions are not difficult. With some preparation, there is basically no threat. The key is that they are too tempting. Even if you know they are false, they can make you want to stay longer and experience more."
Lin Yuan thought to himself.
Once such thoughts arise, it is dangerous, because every second you linger in the illusion, several days might pass in the outside world.
Indeed, illusions would not threaten the life of the evolver, but if you stay in this star cave for more than a month, you will be automatically eliminated.
Once you become too immersed, too indulgent, you may unconsciously neglect time and end up being eliminated.
"Continue."
After pondering for a moment, Lin Yuan took another step into the second step.
The environment around him changed again.
This time, Lin Yuan appeared in a magnificent palace.
Many beautiful women surrounded him.
These beautiful women were all stunning, and every move they made was enchanting. At this moment, they were all serving Lin Yuan humbly.
"The first step was wealth, and the second step is beauty?"
Lin Yuan thought to himself. The experiences in the illusion were extremely real. The delicate touch of the skin and the lingering fragrance on the tip of the nose were all vivid.
"Great King."
A blue-eyed beauty leaned over, her slender jade fingers tracing Lin Yuan's chest, whispering softly in his ear.
"Great King."
Another beauty pounced over, caressing Lin Yuan's lower abdomen, her hot breath flowing.
"Great King."
"Great King."
"Great King."
One beautiful woman after another approached. If these women were placed in the Human Alliance, they would be at least 'celebrities' with billions of fans. But now, they were doing everything they could to please Lin Yuan.
"Business matters are more important." (Chad)
Lin Yuan's right hand pulled out from the embrace of one of the women, and his mind moved slightly.
In an instant, the surrounding scenes began to shatter, and Lin Yuan once again returned to the Sixth Star Cave.
Saying 'returned' was not quite accurate because Lin Yuan had never left. Everything he had just experienced was an illusion.
"Hmm?"
"It's been over a minute?"
Lin Yuan glanced at the time.
"How insidious."
Lin Yuan shook his head slightly.
In the illusion of beauty, as long as the evolver wanted to enjoy it, such as trying the skills of the beautiful women, even if it was just for a few seconds, the flow rate of time outside would increase nearly tenfold or even dozens of times.
After all, compared to the illusion of wealth in the first step, the illusion of beauty in the second step produced sensations that were almost real.
It was almost no different from enjoying it in the real world.
Next.
Lin Yuan took several steps in a row.
The illusions encountered were various, including power, status, strength, and so on.
The illusions in the Sixth Star Cave were extremely realistic, targeting the desires and emotions in the hearts of each evolver.
But for Lin Yuan, these were too simple.
It wasn't that Lin Yuan had talent in this regard, but rather that he had experienced everything he needed to experience.
Compared to other evolvers under a hundred years old, Lin Yuan, who had experienced three transmigrations, was nearly three hundred years old in real age.
The so-called beauty, wealth, and status, Lin Yuan had experienced them all.
In the Seven-Star Cave world, in a certain layer of the mysterious space.
Almost at the same time, twelve figures noticed Lin Yuan, who had passed through the Sixth Star Cave at an extremely fast speed.
"Why so fast?"
"The illusions had no effect on him at all?"
"How could it be? A twenty-year-old kid, how could he have such a mindset?"
The nine figures below glanced at each other.
The test of the Sixth Star Cave was not difficult to pass, but it was rare to see someone like Lin Yuan who was almost unaffected by the illusions.
The evolvers who had passed through the Seventh Star Cave before had wasted several hours or even half a day on those ten steps. This was considered normal in the eyes of the twelve figures.
After all, all the evolvers were under a hundred years old. At such a young age, apart from talent, most of their time was undoubtedly spent on cultivation.
Where would they have the time to experience such things?
The three figures above silently watched Lin Yuan.
"The path of evolution is an extremely difficult one. If one stops midway because of some temptation, even if they have strong talent, their ultimate achievement will be extremely limited."
Gu Ze silently thought to himself, looking at Lin Yuan with increasing satisfaction.
With Lin Yuan's age, passing through the Sixth Star Cave so decisively, his determination toward the Tao was undoubtedly exceptional.
With this, the influence of external factors on him would also be minimized in the future.
"It's rare at such a young age."
"Well, when we were that age, it was very difficult for us to suppress our many desires."
"This Lin Yuan, he's only twenty years old, right?"
The other two figures also praised.
So far, the fastest to pass through the Sixth Star Cave was Silver Spirit.
However, even Silver Spirit took over an hour to complete those ten steps.
And with Lin Yuan's current speed, it would take at most another four or five minutes.
Moreover, Silver Spirit had such a fast speed because she had been following a sixth-order Fallen Star expert as her teacher since she was young.
With such a sixth-order Fallen Star expert to support her, Silver Spirit naturally had many things that countless citizens admired but could not obtain since she was young.
Under such circumstances, it was naturally much easier to pass through those ten steps of illusions.
It was like a native from a backward tribe suddenly coming to a higher life planet or the main star of the Human Alliance.
They would definitely be attracted by all kinds of high technology and then become immersed in it.
But for the citizens who lived on this higher life planet from the beginning, they would find it common and easy to get rid of it.
Therefore, in the eyes of the three figures surpassing the sixth rank.
Lin Yuan was even more rare than the Silver Spirit.
According to public information, Lin Yuan came from an ordinary family on the Canglan Star.
Even with the attention of the Goddess of Wisdom, what could a twenty-year-old experience?
The Sixth Star Cave.
Lin Yuan took the tenth step and arrived at the 'opposite side', passing the test.
"Love?"
A flash of the last step's illusion passed through Lin Yuan's mind.
The illusion of this step tested 'love'.
The 'love' here was not just love between men and women, but love in a broad sense.
The love of parents, relatives, and so on.
"No matter what kind of emotion it is, love? Hatred? Or something else, they are all just embellishments on the path of life evolution. You can enjoy them appropriately, but you must never be immersed in them and let these emotions affect yourself."
Lin Yuan quickly thought to himself.
He had the Gate of the Myriad Realms and was destined to transmigrate through countless worlds, having countless identities.
If he became immersed in the emotions brought by each identity, there would be no need to continue cultivation. Sooner or later, he would go mad and die by going astray.
"They?"
Lin Yuan glanced back.
There were dozens of evolvers still standing still, either experiencing illusions or unwilling to wake up so soon, or adjusting their thoughts to shake off the influence of the previous illusions.
"The Seventh Star Cave."
Lin Yuan took another step, his figure disappeared, leaving the Sixth Star Cave.
The Seventh Star Cave.
Lin Yuan's figure appeared.
"What is this?"
Lin Yuan widened his eyes.
Compared to the previous six star caves.
The scene of the Seventh Star Cave was somewhat unimaginable.
It was a huge mountain peak floating in the cosmic sky. And Lin Yuan appeared at the top of the mountain peak. From his angle, he couldn't see the entire mountain peak, but he could faintly feel that the mountain peak was too majestic.
"A mountain peak in space?"
Lin Yuan was somewhat dazed. He faintly felt that this mountain peak was extremely real, not a virtual image.
"What are those stone statues?"
Lin Yuan looked around.
At the top of the mountain peak, there was a stone statue sitting at intervals. Compared to the statues in the Fourth Star Cave, the stone statues here had various forms. There were 'Sky Peng' with wings ready to fly, and 'Women' holding the flame of life high.
In short, none of these stone statues were similar.
"The test of this star cave is."
Lin Yuan's gaze shifted, finding the familiar stone tablet.
"This star cave has a total of one hundred and thirty-six stone statues, each containing a certain path of evolution."
"Watch the stone statues, comprehend the evolution paths inside, and then touch the stone statues with your hands to pass the test."
"Hint: What suits oneself is the best. Do not aim too high and try to forcibly comprehend those towering stone statues."
"One hundred and thirty-six stone statues?"
"One hundred and thirty-six paths of evolution?"
Lin Yuan was slightly stunned.
At this moment, he also noticed that the more than one hundred stone statues scattered on the mountaintop varied in size.
The largest stone statue was over ten meters tall, but there were only six such tall stone statues.
The rest of the stone statues were only two to three meters in size.
Lin Yuan walked towards the nearest stone statue.
This stone statue was a large Peng with wings spread out, nearly three meters tall, as if it were about to soar into the sky.
"Perfect, just like the real thing."
Lin Yuan watched for a while, immediately immersing his mind into it.
He could feel that this stone statue seemed to come to life, with every feather seemingly vibrating.
"The wind, the wind of the heavens and the earth."
Lin Yuan faintly felt that this large Peng, like the incarnation of wind between heaven and earth, could blend into the wind with a slight flap of its wings and cross hundreds of miles.
Rise with the wind for a hundred thousand miles.
[Your comprehension is extraordinary. You have comprehended the 'Heavenly Wind' evolution path from observing the 'Sky Peng' stone statue.]
"Finally arrived at the Seventh Star Cave."
Within the mysterious space, the twelve figures all looked at Lin Yuan with anticipation.
Based on Lin Yuan's performance in the Fourth and Sixth Star Caves, he was only second to those three Crimson Mark figures in the hearts of the twelve figures.
He even surpassed the three Crimson Mark figures in some aspects.
After all, the insight Lin Yuan displayed in the Fourth Star Cave truly amazed people.
The three figures above also looked at Lin Yuan.
Especially Gu Ze, who stared at Lin Yuan intently.
"The Fourth Star Cave, although it also tests insight, is far less detailed and specific than the Seventh Star Cave."
The three figures understood this.
The one hundred and thirty-six stone statues in the Seventh Star Cave, each containing one hundred and thirty-six paths of evolution, actually symbolized one hundred and thirty-six different directions.
Evolvers comprehend among them, without textual guidance, as long as they can comprehend the evolution paths from the stone statues.
It means that this evolution path is very suitable for them.
If it is not suitable, it is difficult to comprehend.
The test of the Seventh Star Cave is to reveal the talents and potentials of all evolvers.
In order to provide guidance for the future.
"I hope those stone statues are the ones."
Gu Ze thought to himself.
The 'those stone statues' he was thinking of naturally referred to the evolution path with a direction similar to his.
Although Lin Yuan's current path was the two extreme attributes of Yin and Yang.
It did not mean that he could only follow this path. Perhaps there were more suitable paths, but Lin Yuan had not encountered them before.
So there was this choice.
If Gu Ze found a more suitable evolution path for Lin Yuan, he could completely intervene and change it forcibly.
In human civilization, as long as you haven't reached the sixth rank, you can choose another evolution path at a certain cost.
Just like Loulan He in the Thunderstorm Star Domain.
By replicating the flesh, he changed at least dozens of evolution paths.
