152: Destiny Shows Its Power

“Hahaha, well done.”

Yang Hongyu laughed and patted Lin Ye’s shoulder, his approval evident.

Lin Ye’s face broke into a bright smile; he knew his efforts had been recognized.

“Thank you for your praise, Chief Yang. I will continue to work hard,” Lin Ye said firmly.

Fish Brother walked over helplessly. “Lin Ye, you’re truly a monster.”

Little Wang felt a blow to his ego. Well, it was truly overestimating himself to compare with a genius.

“Fish Brother, you flatter me,” Lin Ye scratched his head.

To be honest, he had originally wanted to hold back. After all, he hadn’t fully learned the social etiquette of his previous life, but he had picked up a bit, enough for these basic things.

Moreover, Fish Brother had taken such good care of him.

But Chief Yang was right there, capable of discerning the truth at a glance. How could he dare to hold back?

“Hmm, for the path ahead, everything depends on you. Whether you go to the Star Realm for development or seek development in the universe, both are good paths.”

Lin Ye knew that both paths were excellent.

For example, by developing in the Star Realm, he could amass great wealth with his Star Eyes.

Although the map of White Mist City had been contributed, humanity was not limited to just the White Mist City region.

Yang Hongyu’s tone shifted.

“However, there is a very important matter that is now pressing.”

“Oh? What is it?” Lin Ye asked curiously.

“Our humanity is about to apply for promotion to a Level 10 civilization. This is a very important matter, so we need your assistance,” Yang Hongyu said.

Lin Ye naturally knew the importance of entering a Level 10 civilization.

One could say that a Level 10 civilization was a great transformation.

“Just tell me what I can do,” Lin Ye patted his chest.

Yang Hongyu nodded in satisfaction. “The evaluation is a comprehensive one, and there is no upper limit on the score for each item, so naturally, the higher, the better. I hope you will contribute to the racial potential aspect.”

“How exactly do I do that?” Lin Ye asked.

“It’s very simple: participate in the Galaxy Lord’s disciple recruitment ceremony.”

“Galaxy Lord? Disciple recruitment ceremony?” Lin Ye asked in surprise.

“What exactly is it?”

“The Galaxy Lord is a powerful Master Grade expert, and also the true owner of the Galaxy. He recruits a batch of disciples every hundred years, and this is the best way to prove ourselves. If you are accepted as a disciple by the Galaxy Lord, then our entire humanity will benefit from it.”

Master Grade expert!

Recruit disciples?

Master Grade experts have infinite lifespans, and their strength is terrifying. Would such a supreme expert actually bestow such a great favor every hundred years by recruiting disciples?

“I know what you’re thinking; it feels incredible, right? But it’s true. The Galaxy Lord is a very powerful Master Grade expert. It is because of him that the Galaxy can be free from war and establish a relatively stable order.”

“Such a supreme expert will recruit one hundred geniuses every hundred years. This is also a carnival for the races below.”

“Of course, you are also lucky. Originally, only Star Level civilizations above Level 10 were allowed to participate, but the Galaxy Lord suddenly showed grace, allowing Level 9 civilizations applying for promotion to also participate. We happen to be promoting this time, so we have an opportunity.”

Lin Ye’s heart burned with excitement.

The effect of destiny?

Such a rare opportunity, requiring perfect timing, location, and human factors, had actually fallen into his hands.

He had once doubted whether destiny truly existed.

After all, the protagonists in legends always received treasures from the heavens, various fortuitous encounters, obtained divine artifacts, met noble people, and learned unique skills. These encounters brought them opportunities for growth and chances to change their destinies.

Aside from his good luck in picking up a few strange items, nothing else seemed to have changed for him.

But now, he had arrived, he had arrived.

And he came with a big one. If he were accepted as a disciple by the Galaxy Lord, he would save at least ten thousand years of struggle.

“Good, I will definitely work hard,” Lin Ye replied firmly.

A Master Grade expert! Although this Master was very benevolent and had many disciples, perhaps tens of thousands or even millions, he was still a Master Grade expert no matter what.

“Prepare well; you still have three years,” Yang Hongyu said.

“Many races will participate this time. I don’t ask you to necessarily win, but at least achieve a good result.”

With that, Yang Hongyu sent a file to Lin Ye via his optical computer.

“These are some of my insights into creating skills and cultivation techniques. Try to improve your combat power as much as possible.”

Yang Hongyu looked forward to Lin Ye’s performance.

Actually, he hadn’t held much hope, as Lin Ye had just broken through to the Star Level.

When the Galaxy Alliance envoy informed him, he only felt deep regret.

Lin Ye was born too late.

If given enough time, he believed Lin Ye would definitely achieve a great victory and win the championship in one fell swoop.

This was Primordial Grade.

But this test made him understand the true value of a genius.

He had originally thought that he, Yang Hongyu, was already an exceptional talent.

After all, relying on the top-grade Star Core shaped by his perfectly refined abilities, he had a smooth journey.

He didn’t even pay much attention to the Demon Invasion.

Given time, he would certainly become a high-ranking Stellar River Level expert, leading humanity to its peak.

But he hadn’t expected there to be a genius like Lin Ye.

“Thank you, Chief Yang,” Lin Ye said with immense gratitude.

Yang Hongyu was truly his benefactor.

Fish Brother and Chief Yang had both played an indelible role in his life’s journey.

Yang Hongyu gave a few more instructions, then left with Little Wang.

After Yang Hongyu and his secretary Little Wang left, Lin Ye began to prepare for his journey.

Three years; the effort put in during these three years would affect his future life.

First, he still needed to spend some time studying Yang Hongyu’s insights.

Yang Hongyu’s insights were much better than the ones he had exchanged with military merits. No, they were as different as excrement and abalone with sea cucumber.

As expected of a supreme expert, his notes were excellent, profound yet easy to understand.

Creating cultivation techniques was a major undertaking that concerned one’s future.

Many people who were originally cultivation geniuses became ordinary because their comprehension was insufficient, and they couldn’t create cultivation techniques suitable for themselves.

After the Star Level, one needed to advance the physical body, Soul, and Star Power simultaneously, so the creation of cultivation techniques required considerable effort to understand another system.

This was undoubtedly a very time-consuming task, also requiring considerable comprehension.

And skill creation.

Soul defense, physical defense, attack, displacement, control, etc., none could be lacking.

If one aspect was weak, it would be easy to be targeted.

The amount of water a bucket holds is determined by its shortest plank.

Busy, busy, busy.

But before that, he needed to thoroughly experience the changes after his breakthrough.

After some experience, Lin Ye truly felt the benefits of the Star Core.

He had already experienced the physical body’s improvement.

The intensity of his abilities was also demonstrated in his recent battle with Fish Brother.

The overall power had increased by two times.

Moreover, due to the strengthening of the Mark of Uniqueness, Lin Ye no longer had to worry too much when facing experts who naturally possessed domains; there would no longer be that feeling of being completely suppressed.
