```
Of course, back then, Lin Yuan didn’t care too much about the spaceship’s performance, since the ones riding the spaceship were his Yin Spirit and Yang Spirit.
As long as it could be used to travel, that was enough.
However, now that Lin Yuan was about to head to the Fringe Starfield, and it was his true self going, he needed a high-quality cosmic spaceship.
This kind of cosmic spaceship not only has a tremendous advantage in speed but, in escaping and preserving one’s life, it also has miraculous effects.
Lin Yuan stepped out of the great hall and immediately saw a black spaceship parked there.
From the outside, this spaceship didn’t look much different from those standard issue spaceships, but the aura it emanated caused faint vibrations in the air.
The spaceship was only five hundred meters in size, with faint engraved patterns on its surface; these patterns were manifestations of the essence of rules, which could let the spaceship travel faster and more easily through wormholes.
"Not bad, not bad."
Lin Yuan’s mind was pleased; the spaceship was entirely forged from red copper gold, ordinary attacks from an Eighth Layer strong one basically couldn’t break its defenses.
From startup to wormhole shuttle, the fastest time needed was only twelve seconds.
"Eight thousand Cubic Universe Crystals..." n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
Lin Yuan thought about the value of this cosmic spaceship and couldn’t help but feel emotional.
As a Star Domain Lord, he certainly couldn’t be traveling in those standard issue spaceships. An A-grade cosmic spaceship would be enough for Lin Yuan to use for a very long time.
In human civilization, using spaceships to travel is the most common choice, even for Ninth Rank Evolvers who have fully grasped a complete core space model and mastered long-range teleportation. If there wasn’t anything urgent, they would also usually travel by spaceship.
Long-range teleportation techniques require Evolvers to integrate with the Space Rules, and in an instant, move hundreds to thousands of light-years along with the wave of space.
It consumes one’s mind and spirit greatly.
Generally, a Ninth Rank Evolver would need to rest after not too long a time.
Like Vice Tower Master Nalan, who traversed countless tens of thousands of light-years within half a month to deliver the Soul-Settling Pearl to Lin Yuan, a Ninth Rank Evolver wouldn’t be capable of that.
...
After storing the A-grade cosmic spaceship, Lin Yuan returned inside the great hall.
"It’s about time to leave."
Lin Yuan thought to himself.
"Yang Spirit."
With a slight thought, a phantom shadow walked out.
It condensed into substance, looking face-to-face with Lin Yuan.
"From now on, you will be stationed here,"
Lin Yuan said, instructing the Yang Spirit.
"And this drop of essence blood..."
Lin Yuan left behind a drop of essence blood.
The ’Blood Rebirth’ Physical Body Divine Ability allowed Lin Yuan to completely control every drop of his essence blood, for within it was infused with fragments of his Soul True Spirit Consciousness.
"Which treasures to take along as the true self heads to the Milky Way Star Region..." Lin Yuan began to ponder.
First and foremost was the ’Soul-Settling Pearl’ bestowed by the Xia Qin Supreme Being.
This treasure was Lin Yuan’s biggest safeguard for preserving his life in front of a Supreme Being; he definitely had to carry it on his person.
"Eighth Layer soul defense artifact, water droplet..."
"Also, that Eighth Layer armor..."
Lin Yuan pondered for a moment and decided to bring these two items as well.
Lin Yuan had always valued defense concerning the soul aspect.
"Origin Fine Gold..."
With a thought from Lin Yuan, a ’Bell-shaped’ weapon appeared before him.
This ’Bell-shaped’ weapon was only palm-sized, but the aura it faintly emitted was even more formidable than that Eighth Layer soul defense artifact.
"Let’s not bring this."
Lin Yuan shook his head slightly.
The reason was twofold: first, having just advanced to the Eighth Layer, the Origin Fine Gold needed time to be nurtured to keep up with Lin Yuan’s realm strength.
Second, with the Eighth Layer soul defense artifact, Eighth Layer armor, and the ’Magic Jade Mark’ enhancement, Lin Yuan believed that his defenses had already reached the extreme at his current stage.
Even against an invincible Eighth Layer being, he could withstand a few blows without dying to a soul attack like Ou Yin.
Unknowingly, Lin Yuan had entirely surpassed Ou Yin, a late-stage Eighth Layer Evolver from a million years ago.
The current Origin Fine Gold wasn’t of much enhancement to Lin Yuan, at least not enough for a ’qualitative change.’
Bringing it or not didn’t make much of a difference.
...
"The current situation in the Milky Way Star Region..."
Lin Yuan opened the data and began to read it carefully.
The Milky Way Star Region originally belonged to the territories of the ’Shadow Tribe.’
And the Shadow Tribe, while not a Peak Clan, was still one of the most powerful clans just under the Peak Clans, with a force much stronger than the Heiyuan Clan.
```
After defeating the Shadow Tribe on the battlefield, human civilization claimed vast territories, including the Milky Way Star Region that Lin Yuan needs to oversee.
Within the Milky Way Star Region, apart from the Shadow Tribe, there existed some special life clans and solitary alien strong ones.
These special life clans and solitary alien strong ones either dominated a Cosmic Secret Realm or several constellation systems.
When the Shadow Tribe was still around, they got along quite well with these special life clans and solitary alien strong ones, not infringing upon each other.
Now that the Shadow Tribe has been repelled, the entire Milky Way Star Region has fallen into the hands of human civilization, and it is up to Lin Yuan to decide how to deal with these special life clans and solitary alien strong ones.
"Nine major special life clans, thirteen solitary alien strong ones?"
Lin Yuan reviewed the data; these clans had not yet taken hostile actions against human civilization.
"How should they be dealt with?"
Lin Yuan understood clearly that if the Shadow Tribe had left these clans intact, it must have felt that dealing with them directly would be troublesome.
It was very likely that these special life clans or solitary alien strong ones were either difficult to handle or had many backgrounds, making the Shadow Tribe hesitant to provoke them.
"Let’s see what their attitudes are when the time comes."
Lin Yuan pondered for a moment, feeling sure about his course of action.
...
At the edge of human territories.
A vast star domain.
A gigantic figure was devouring one planet after another, unrestrained.
"So satisfying, so satisfying."
"Everything in this universe was meant to be our food."
"With those Shadow Tribe in charge before, I had to be cautious, but now that they’ve been defeated and withdrawn from this star domain, these planetary resources are all mine."
This enormous figure, similar to an octopus and blood-red all over, would envelop a planet with its numerous tentacles, and within days, consume the entire planet.
"It’s a pity these resource planets are somewhat hard to digest; if they were life planets..."
The blood-red octopus’s heart thrummed with excitement.
A life planet teeming with billions of lives, devouring so many lives all at once, the countless flesh and souls... made the blood-red octopus tremble with excitement.
"Let’s search and see."
"It would be best to find a few indigenous planets."
The blood-red octopus immediately extended its massive perception, spreading in all directions.
With the Shadow Tribe’s retreat, they must have taken their kin with them, but in such a large star domain, there naturally remained many planets that hadn’t been discovered yet.
Perhaps amongst them were life planets.
...
Several months later.
The blood-red octopus was contentedly devouring several life planets.
Countless lives became the nourishment for the blood-red octopus, bringing it pleasure that made its soul shiver.
"Hahahahaha."
"I’ll digest for a while first."
The blood-red octopus returned to a massive planet, its lair, where it usually practiced or slumbered.
The figure of the blood-red octopus shrank rapidly, transforming into a being with dozens of arms.
"Ao Du, you’re back?" On the other side of the massive planet, a gigantic mountain of flesh sent out psychic waves.
This meaty mountain was a special life form, on good terms with the blood-red octopus, and the two often communicated with each other.
"How many planets did you ingest this time?" the enormous meaty mountain asked casually.
"Just over a dozen, but those resource planets are too hard to digest, so I secretly devoured a few life planets, and that feeling..."
The blood-red octopus spoke with delight.
"Life planets?" the enormous meaty mountain felt a bit tempted as well.
"Wait till I’ve digested, and then you can follow me. The two of us will go and devour those life planets together," the blood-red octopus said.
It possessed a special talent that allowed it to detect many planets in the nearby region; otherwise, how could it so easily find life planets in the vastness of space?
"Forget it."
"Ao Du, you’ll also need to restrain yourself in the future," the meaty mountain said.
"Restrain? Why should I restrain?" the blood-red octopus asked, puzzled.
"This star domain is territory yielded by the Shadow Tribe, you should know whom the Shadow Tribe surrendered it to, right?" the meaty mountain said, "I’ve got the message that not long from now, a Star Lord of human civilization will come to sit in this star domain."
"Which Star Lord?" asked the blood-red octopus.
The meaty mountain replied:
"The Galaxy Master."
