Creating Heavenly Laws - Chapter 240
“What’s this?”
Aodu looked grim. The scene before them showed a man standing in the starry sky, transforming into a colossal giant.
In reality, the man’s size hadn’t changed; it was Aodu and the planet beneath them that began to shrink rapidly under the compression of space rules.
Such a technique could only be mastered by the strongest individuals with extremely high comprehension of space rules.
According to human civilization’s definition of space rules, one must comprehend at least eighteen hundred core space models.
Generally speaking, strong individuals who had comprehended so many core space models were typically at the peak of the eighth rank, and Aodu knew all the peak eighth-rankers in the Milky Way and surrounding star domains.
But who was this man in blue armor? Aodu was puzzled, feeling a bit uneasy under the pressure of the space power coming from all directions.
“It’s the Milky Way Star Lord.”
A massive mountain of flesh nearby immediately recognized him.
It knew a lot about the Milky Way Star Lord, including related images. The ‘giant’ standing outside the sky looked very much like the Milky Way Star Lord.
Moreover, the man had just said, ‘Go on, what will you do if the Milky Way Star Lord dares to come?’
The massive mountain of flesh was almost certain that this was indeed the Milky Way Star Lord.
“The Milky Way Star Lord?”
Aodu was stunned.
He turned his head and looked at the massive mountain of flesh in confusion.
Wasn’t it said that the Milky Way Star Lord had just entered the eighth rank? How could he compress a planet nearly ten million miles wide into a mustard seed with just a wave of his hand?
Such spatial comprehension wasn’t even necessarily achievable by a peak eighth-ranker, yet the newly ascended Milky Way Star Lord had done it?
“Starry Sky Alliance, Shang Shan, greets the Milky Way Star Lord.”
The massive mountain of flesh ignored Aodu’s disbelief and hurriedly said respectfully.
Although it was also difficult to understand why the Milky Way Star Lord possessed such strength, this was not the time to dwell on that.
The most important thing was to ease the tension between them.
“Starry Sky Alliance, Aodu, greets the Milky Way Star Lord.”
Seeing this, Aodu immediately followed suit.
“You special beings, relying on your noble bloodlines, are lawless. This star domain now belongs to human civilization, and you wantonly devour planets…”
Lin Yuan said indifferently.
“Do you really think we humans are like the Shadow Clan? You are not even piss in front of us.”
The Shadow Clan was very tolerant of these special beings. Firstly, they didn’t want to offend the forces behind these beings, and secondly, these beings were not easy to deal with.
So under normal circumstances, the strong members of the Shadow Clan would turn a blind eye to them. For instance, Aodu loved to devour planets, and as long as it wasn’t too excessive, they wouldn’t interfere.
“Milky Way Star Lord, we were wrong.”
The massive mountain of flesh’s expression changed slightly. From these words, it realized that the Milky Way Star Lord was REALLY displeased with their actions.
“After today, we will leave obediently and never appear before the Milky Way Star Lord again.”
The massive mountain of flesh, Shang Shan, immediately said.
Even if the Milky Way Star Lord had just entered the eighth rank, knowing his attitude, the best choice for these two special beings was to leave.
After all, as the lord of a star domain, the Milky Way Star Lord had many ways to deal with them.
Calling friends for help?
Asking their teacher to step in?
These were all options.
Moreover, the strength displayed by the Milky Way Star Lord was not weaker than a peak eighth-ranker. His hostility was not something the two special beings could withstand.
“After devouring so many of my planets, you think you can leave so easily?” Lin Yuan shook his head slightly. With a thought, a vast power crushed the planet in his hand.
Boom.
Terrifying power swept across the planet’s surface. Lin Yuan still held back; otherwise, the planet would have collapsed instantly.
“Not good.”
The massive mountain of flesh’s body suddenly expanded, struggling to resist the crushing force from all directions. But Shang Shan felt that he couldn’t hold on much longer.
“How can this Milky Way Star Lord be so abnormal? Is this what you call just entering the eighth rank? Is this under a hundred years old?”
The massive mountain of flesh, Shang Shan, felt bitter.
He glanced at Aodu not far away, who had been forced to reveal its true form.
However, under the Milky Way Star Lord’s Mustard Seed technique, Aodu’s true form was only the size of a pinky finger, lacking any majesty of a special being, instead looking somewhat cute.
“Milky Way Star Lord.”
After holding on for more than ten breaths, the massive mountain of flesh, Shang Shan, said again, “I am willing to pay twenty thousand universe crystals to compensate for the Lord’s loss.”
The massive mountain of flesh felt bitter inside.
The planets it had devoured were mostly during the Shadow Clan’s reign over this star domain. But now, with the Milky Way Star Lord in charge, it had to comply.
“I am also willing.”
Aodu also spoke up.
It was also struggling to hold on.
“Twenty thousand universe crystals?”
Lin Yuan glanced at the two special beings.
A normal eighth-rank strong person would have around several thousand to ten thousand universe crystals.
Human eighth-rankers were a bit wealthier but not by much, at most just over ten thousand.
But these two special beings were willing to offer twenty thousand universe crystals each, clearly quite wealthy.
This was understandable; special beings had long lifespans and many innate abilities, accumulating vast wealth over time.
“What do you say, Milky Way Star Lord?”
“Twenty thousand universe crystals should be enough to compensate you.”
The massive mountain of flesh, Shang Shan, was bleeding inside. It had practiced a body duplication technique, and its true body was in a distant star domain. But this clone had been cultivated for many years and had combat power close to the true body.
If it were to die, creating another clone of this level would take countless years.
“As long as I can keep this clone, losing some universe crystals is acceptable.” The massive mountain of flesh thought to itself.
It had invested countless resources in this clone over the long years, far more than twenty thousand universe crystals.
“I was trolling you, fool.”
Lin Yuan did not stop, continuing to crush with the vast world power.
Killing them would mean getting all their universe crystals anyway.
“Milky Way Star Lord, do you really intend to leave no way out?”
The massive mountain of flesh, Shang Shan, was shocked.
It was willing to pay twenty thousand universe crystals, yet the Milky Way Star Lord still intended to exterminate them?
“Milky Way Star Lord, do you know we are members of the Starry Sky Alliance? Do you think you can kill us without asking the Starry Sky Alliance?”
Aodu couldn’t help but speak.
If it weren’t for the dire situation, it didn’t want to bring up the Starry Sky Alliance, as this would mean completely tearing apart relations with the Milky Way Star Lord.
“Starry Sky Alliance?”
Lin Yuan’s expression remained unchanged. The Starry Sky Alliance was formed by many special life forms to resist humans, insects, and other peak races.
However, the Starry Sky Alliance was loosely structured. Composed of many special life forms, they couldn’t be as united as humans or insects.
But they couldn’t be underestimated either.
The Shadow Clan tolerated Aodu and Shang Shan largely because of the Starry Sky Alliance behind them.
But the Shadow Clan feared the Starry Sky Alliance; human civilization did not.
Many human evolvers extracted the essence of special life forms to make bloodline potions, which were very popular.
“Yes, Milky Way Star Lord, we are members of the Starry Sky Alliance.” The massive mountain of flesh, Shang Shan, immediately said. Now, they could only rely on the Starry Sky Alliance.
Lin Yuan smiled, “Hahaha, I’m so scared.”
“Starry Sky Alliance? My ass.”
As he laughed, a terrifying soul wave mixed with world power formed a storm, sweeping towards Aodu.
“No.”
Facing the skyrocketing offensive, Aodu’s body trembled and exploded into a massive blood mist, its soul quickly dissipating.
“Aodu.”
The massive mountain of flesh, Shang Shan, trembled in shock. Aodu hadn’t practiced the body duplication technique; once it died, it was truly dead.
“You can accompany it too.” Lin Yuan looked at the massive mountain of flesh, collecting Aodu’s blood essence and spatial equipment.
Since Lin Yuan dared to come, he didn’t care about the Starry Sky Alliance behind the two special life forms.
His teacher, the Red Kun Star Lord, had told him that as long as he didn’t betray human civilization in the Milky Way, he could do whatever he wanted, and human civilization would back him up.
“Milky Way Star Lord, I will remember you.”
“And I will forget you.” replied Lin Yuan.
The massive mountain of flesh, Shang Shan, glared at Lin Yuan, seemingly activating some technique, its form rapidly shrinking and disappearing in the pervasive space power.
Being a special life form, Shang Shan was much more cautious than Aodu. After human civilization took over this star domain, it reduced its planet-devouring activities, unlike Aodu, who continued to take advantage.
This cautious nature had led Shang Shan to prepare many life-saving methods, including a space-shifting technique obtained at great cost.
This technique could move it several light-years away in an instant.
“Yin-Yang Tai Chi, isolate.” Lin Yuan’s pupils turned one yin and one yang, the Tai Chi world shadow instantly covering nearly a hundred million miles, solidifying space.
A sound like a collision with a wall came from eighty million miles away, and the massive mountain of flesh, Shang Shan, reappeared, looking bewildered.
“What?”
Shang Shan looked around.
“Isolated space? World shadow?”
“This is a technique mastered after comprehending two thousand core space models, with an internal world of at least six hundred thousand miles in radius. What kind of monster is this Milky Way Star Lord?”
Shang Shan felt despair.
Normally, the internal world of a peak eighth-rank evolver was around five hundred thousand miles in radius.
The larger the internal world, the stronger the eighth-rank evolver, capable of affecting external space and time.
With enough spatial comprehension, the influence could be even greater.
Now, Shang Shan’s space-shifting was forcibly interrupted by this isolation power.
Buzz.
Lin Yuan took a step forward.
He appeared above Shang Shan.
“Milky Way Star Lord, I beg for mercy. As long as you spare me…” The massive mountain of flesh began to plead. With the current strength displayed by the Milky Way Star Lord, it had no means of resistance.
Moreover, the space-shifting technique couldn’t be used again shortly after being interrupted. The massive mountain of flesh could only hope Lin Yuan would show mercy.
However—
“No”
Before it could finish, Lin Yuan waved his hand, and the vast world power mixed with soul attacks fell on Shang Shan.
Crash.
The massive mountain of flesh, Shang Shan, turned into an endless blood mist.
Lin Yuan collected it all. The blood essence of special life forms was very valuable, and making it into bloodline potions could sell for thousands to tens of thousands of universe crystals each.
“Hmm?”
“I can sense that this special life form isn’t dead.”
Lin Yuan pondered, looking in a certain direction.
When he killed Aodu, it was straightforward. After Aodu’s death, there were no doubts.
But after killing Shang Shan, Lin Yuan felt something unusual.
“Cause and effect… This special life form’s main body is still alive.”
Lin Yuan thought to himself.
The cause and effect rule was very mysterious, capable of many special techniques, such as curse killing.
As long as life exists and interacts with the world, it naturally generates cause and effect.
Therefore, understanding the cause and effect rule was easy.
For eighth-rank strong individuals, most had some understanding of the cause and effect rule.
And once they understood it, they could sense many causes and effects. For example, when Lin Yuan killed Aodu, the cause and effect between them ceased upon Aodu’s death.
But after killing Shang Shan, although Shang Shan died, their cause and effect connection remained, indicating Shang Shan wasn’t truly dead.
This was the simplest use of the cause and effect rule.
Of course, understanding the cause and effect rule was easy, but mastering it was extremely difficult, even harder than comprehending complete space rules.
In a distant star domain.
In a cosmic secret realm.
“I spent tens of thousands of years and countless resources to cultivate that clone, and now it’s dead?” Shang Shan felt a void inside.
For a cautious special life form like it, clones were very important. The main body was hidden, and the clone ventured out, a foolproof plan.
But now.
The clone was gone.
Creating another one would take hundreds or thousands of years, and it would be far inferior to the previous one.
“My clone, my treasures, my universe crystals…”
Shang Shan was heartbroken.
“I shouldn’t have hesitated.”
Shang Shan felt regret.
After the Shadow Clan retreated, it should have left too.
After all, the next ruler of this star domain would be the Human Civilization Alliance.
But Shang Shan thought he was lucky, thinking that even if the humans took over, they wouldn’t necessarily be hostile.
Not every human lord was against special life forms.
Even if the new human lord was hostile, it could just leave then.
New human lords were usually newly ascended eighth-rank evolvers, incapable of keeping an almost peak eighth-rank special life form like it.
But who could have expected the Milky Way Star Lord to be so monstrous?
“Terrifying.”
“Too terrifying.”
Thinking about the Milky Way Star Lord’s methods, Shang Shan shuddered.
From start to finish, Shang Shan had no thoughts of revenge.
Revenge? Against the Milky Way Star Lord? Against the Human Civilization Alliance? My fucking ass!
Even the strongest in the Starry Sky Alliance couldn’t do it. How could it, a special life form, manage?
Being able to keep its life was already fortunate enough.
