Creating Heavenly Laws

Chapter 52



The three evolution paths each have their own strengths and different focuses.

The Golem Evolution Path is created by studying a cosmic race called 'Golems.' When cultivated to the extreme, one can transform their own body into a 'Golem.' However, it's a weakened version of the 'Golem' race. Despite being rare, adult 'Golems' can stand up against sixth-rank human evolvers. The 'Golem' formed through this evolution path, even in its weakened state, can rival fourth or fifth-rank evolvers.

"Transform into a 'Golem.' I'll pass," Lin Yuan thought carefully and shook his head. Despite acknowledging the unique aspects of the Golem Evolution Path in transforming the physical body, Lin Yuan found it hard to accept the need for a complete change in bodily form. It's not about disliking the appearance of the 'Golem' race; rather, once you choose this evolution path, you're committed to a single course. Even with Lin Yuan's extraordinary insight, finding an alternative path would be incredibly troublesome.

Thinking about this, Lin Yuan turned his attention to the 'Force' Evolution Path.

The 'Force' Evolution Path is a fifth-rank evolution method that revolves around understanding the omnipresent force in the universe. Unlike extreme energies like Yin or Yang, the 'Force' can encompass everything. It bears some resemblance to the Tai Chi philosophy formed by the fusion of Yin and Yang after practicing the Tai Chi Dao in the Martial Arts Evolution Path.

As for the last choice, the Path of a Myriad Forms, it leans more towards the evolution of the spirit and soul. It excels in spiritual attacks and could be considered an upgraded version of the Spiritual Master Evolution Path.

"The 'Force' Evolution Path it is," Lin Yuan decided in his mind. The Tai Chi philosophy within the Martial Arts Evolution Path shares similarities with the 'Force' Evolution Path, and choosing this path would be more beneficial for Lin Yuan.

"Ding—"

With the deduction of forty million civilization coins, Lin Yuan instantly received the complete 'Force' Evolution Path.

Different from purchasing physical items, virtual things like evolution paths could be acquired instantly.

"Hmm, it's really expensive," Lin Yuan couldn't help but feel a bit amazed. Nevertheless, since he wasn't spending his own money but rather utilizing the Central Bank's loan limit, Lin Yuan didn't feel any regret.

"Open it," Lin Yuan commanded with a thought.

The icon for the 'Force' Evolution Path immediately became blurry.

The first thing Lin Yuan saw was a warning in red font: "This evolution path is not to be disclosed externally; otherwise, it will be subject to the highest court's judgment."

In the Human Cosmic Alliance, every evolution path is protected by law, and privately teaching it is strictly forbidden. Ordinary citizens can obtain evolution paths in two ways. One is similar to Lin Yuan's method, directly purchasing them with civilization coins. However, for regular citizens, buying an evolution path is typically done one part at a time. For example, the 'Force' Evolution Path belongs to the fifth-rank evolution paths, and citizens would first choose to buy the first rank's content. After achieving perfection in the first rank, they could then purchase the second rank's part. This way, the burden is significantly reduced.

The second method is for those who lack funds; they can sign a contract with other forces. These forces would sponsor them, providing the opportunity to become an evolver. If successful, the individual would have to serve the sponsoring force for fifty or a hundred years. If they fail to become an evolver, they might have to serve the force for a considerable portion of their life.

These forces could be official or unofficial. Lin Yuan had considered signing such a contract before when he was forcibly enlisted, but seldom did any unofficial forces dare to snatch recruits that had caught the attention of military districts.

"I wonder how much the Martial Arts Evolution Path is selling for now," Lin Yuan suddenly thought.

After uploading the Martial Arts Evolution Path, Lin Yuan set the price for the first stage of the Martial Arts Evolution Path at ten thousand civilization coins. Unfortunately, when Lin Yuan first uploaded it, the Martial Arts Evolution Path was only a quasi-second-rank evolution path, and even with its theoretical potential for a third rank, it still couldn't compare to the Force Evolution Path. The pricing of ten thousand civilization coins was considered reasonable.

As for the second stage of the Martial Arts Evolution Path, due to its involvement with the Tai Chi philosophy, Lin Yuan set a high price of five hundred thousand coins.

A few days ago, Lin Yuan learned that there were over a thousand citizens currently practicing the Martial Arts Evolution Path. If these over a thousand people only bought the first-stage content, it would generate over ten million in revenue. After the official share of seventy percent, there would be over three million, minus the relevant taxes and fees, leaving Lin Yuan with around two million.

Of course, there might be a few wealthy individuals who directly purchased the complete Martial Arts Evolution Path.

"I'll know in a few months," Lin Yuan thought to himself. As for the income distribution of the evolution path, settlements in the virtual world were done annually.

Gathering his thoughts, Lin Yuan officially began to review the Force Evolution Path.

Before the actual text of the evolution method, there was information about the origin of this evolution path.

In the Human Cosmic Alliance, there was a star called the Moon Spirit Star, which belonged to the Red Kun Starfield.

The Moon Spirit Star was a high-level life planet in the Red Kun Starfield, while the Canglan Star, which Lin Yuan was familiar with, was a medium-level life planet.

The Red Kun Starfield consisted of eight major star systems, each containing billions of stars and over a hundred thousand life planets.

"The cosmic force is a very special energy. It is gentle and extensive," Lin Yuan carefully read. At the same time, a message appeared:

[Your extraordinary insight is reversed; browsing the Force Evolution Path has led to a comprehension of the essence of the force.]

In a trance, Lin Yuan seemed to enter the cosmic starry sky. There were countless types of energy here, including the power of the sun, the power of the moon, and the force.

Lin Yuan could feel the affinity of the force toward him, attempting to control this gentle force.

After an indeterminate amount of time, Lin Yuan suddenly opened his eyes.

"What happened to me?" Lin Yuan looked down at his hands.

He noticed that the surface of his skin had some stains that hadn't been there before.

"I've completed the Force Tempering?" Lin Yuan immediately realized. Force Tempering was a sign of mastering the force in the Force Evolution Path. It involved using the omnipresent force in the cosmic starry sky to temper the body.

"How much time has passed?" Lin Yuan checked the time.

"Eight hours," Lin Yuan was surprised. He had become so engrossed in cultivation that he hadn't noticed the passage of time.

If other evolvers practicing the Force Evolution Method knew that Lin Yuan had achieved mastery and completed Force Tempering in just eight hours, they might be filled with despair.

The most difficult step in the Force Evolution Method was perceiving the existence of the force. Even ordinary evolvers would need several years to experience this perception. Achieving mastery and completing Force Tempering in such a short time was unheard of. In the Force Evolution Method, unless someone had a special physique inherently close to the cosmic force, it usually took decades. Lin Yuan, however, only took eight hours, making him a rare exception.

"Force Tempering didn't cause a rejection of the Yin and Yang within my body. It seems like this evolution path is well-suited for my comprehension," Lin Yuan nodded slightly, feeling confident in his choice.

In the cosmic starry sky, various complex energies intertwined with each other.

If there were no guidance from the Force Evolution Path, even with Lin Yuan's extraordinary insight, locking onto a suitable energy amidst the multitude of energies would be a terrifyingly time-consuming task. Not to mention that cosmic force, being a power very suitable for Lin Yuan, made the process smoother.

"Basing it on the Tao of Tai Chi, with the cosmic force as the foundation." Lin Yuan sat cross-legged and vaguely saw the direction of the third stage.

In the Dragon Tiger World, Lin Yuan achieved the second stage limit through the Tao of Tai Chi, even stepping into the third stage with one foot. However, he hadn't officially reached the third stage.

Now, after continuously comprehending the essence of the force, Lin Yuan was not far from stepping into the third stage.

Eight hours had passed, and as Lin Yuan continued to immerse himself in the understanding of the force, a female robot arrived at the underground training ground, pulling a food cart and standing in front of Lin Yuan.

"Master, it's time to eat," the female robot said.

In the interstellar era, most households had a housekeeping robot. This female robot was the housekeeping robot Lin Yuan purchased, responsible for household chores, cooking, and even acting as a bodyguard.

When Lin Yuan lived with his parents, his mother, Lin Qiong, disliked the soulless meals made by robots, preferring to cook herself. Lin Yuan didn't mind robot-cooked meals, given his powerful digestive ability; he could even eat raw meat without any issues.

Opening the dining table, the housekeeping robot brought out seven or eight dishes, mostly various types of meat cultivated from the genes of certain cosmic behemoths, rich in immense energy.

While a few bites of such meat would leave an ordinary citizen malnourished, Lin Yuan, with his powerful physique, could digest these meats in just an hour or two.

After around ten minutes, Lin Yuan finished all the dishes.

In reality, with Lin Yuan's current condition, he could entirely sustain his body's nutritional needs through nutrient solutions. However, years of dietary habits made Lin Yuan prefer visible food.

Just as Lin Yuan was about to continue immersing himself in cultivation, a 'video call' suddenly appeared.

"Who's looking for me?" Lin Yuan frowned, checking the 'caller ID.'

It was Chairman Liao.
