Heiyu Ao said with a smile,“Indeed, there are too many geniuses in the universe…”
Lin Yuan nodded, deeply agreeing.
After becoming the thirteenth Peak Master under the Chikun Star Lord, Lin Yuan browsed through intelligence information from various regions of the universe.
Given the vast population base, it was possible that incredibly monstrous geniuses could emerge.
However, no matter how high their potential may be, geniuses are merely geniuses, not strong warriors.
Every year, countless geniuses of human civilization are assassinated by different species.
The more talented one is, the more they need to be patient and keep a low profile until they have achieved significant strength and stepped into the Sixth Rank.
“But no matter how talented, one still needs vast resources to support them; otherwise, their talents can only go to waste,”
Heiyu Ao looked at Lin Yuan.
“Right.”
“Talent is important.”
“Resources are very important as well.”
Lin Yuan nodded.
Why has human civilization been able to produce one strong warrior after another?
Isn’t it because human civilization has always been in a state of expansion, constantly seizing a large number of resources from other species and then channeling them to their own strong warriors?
“Lin Yuan, my brother, you haven’t joined any other forces yet, have you? Are you interested in joining under my command?”
Having said that, Heiyu Ao immediately added, “Lin Yuan, my brother, don’t be too quick to refuse.”
“Eighty years, all I ask is that you serve under me for eighty years.”
Heiyu Ao spoke earnestly, “After eighty years, you are free to leave at any time.”
“And during these eighty years, you can enjoy numerous resources that will smooth your evolutionary path.”
“Many evolutionary paths? You could view any of the evolutionary paths collected by the Heiyu Family,”
“Rare treasures of the universe? Cosmic treasures? And countless evolution secret techniques? Lin Yuan, my brother, just say the word, and I will collect and purchase them for you.”
Heiyu Ao sincerely looked at Lin Yuan.
In reality, most of the conditions he mentioned were empty promises.
The various evolution paths collected by the Heiyu Family? Even he had to pay a hefty price just to browse, let alone Lin Yuan, an outsider?
But at this moment, Heiyu Ao could no longer afford to care about these details.
He had to secure Lin Yuan under his command first, and talk about signing a contract.
As for browsing the evolution paths of the Heiyu Family, he had not mentioned how long it would take, had he?
And serving for eighty years—Heiyu Ao had not lied; after eighty years, Lin Yuan would be over a hundred years old, ineligible to participate in the arena competitions, and Heiyu Ao wouldn’t mind letting Lin Yuan go.
“Serve for eighty years?” Lin Yuan’s face was expressionless.
After eighty years, he estimated he would have already stepped into the Seventh Rank—would he serve a disciple of the Heiyu Family?
“I already suppressed them so much in the arena competition, yet Heiyu Ao still values me this much and is so tenacious…” Lin Yuan felt somewhat helpless.
He knew that Heiyu Ao and those powerful financial families invited him solely because of his performance in the arena competition.
However, Heiyu Ao might have realized that Lin Yuan had hidden some of his strength during the arena competition, which is why he valued him so highly and extended a personal invitation.
“Lin Yuan, my brother, what do you think?”
Heiyu Ao looked at Lin Yuan expectantly.
He believed he had done enough, not only making a personal invitation but also offering more generous conditions, and even reducing the service time to eighty years.
“Mr. Ao…”
Looking at Heiyu Ao, Lin Yuan said, “I’m not interested in the arena competition, Mr. Ao. There’s no need for you to spend your efforts on that.”
“Ah?”
Heiyu Ao was somewhat befuddled.
Rejected.
Lin Yuan had actually rejected him.
Even after Heiyu Ao had shown so much sincerity, he was still refused?
Heiyu Ao fell silent.
The previously enthusiastic expression quickly turned cold.
Heiyu Ao was never a warm person in the first place; everything just now had been a facade to show how much he valued the situation.
But since Lin Yuan had outright refused, there was naturally no need to continue the pretense.
“Lin Yuan, are you sure about your decision?”
Heiyu Ao asked once more.
“I’m sure.”
Lin Yuan nodded.
As the thirteenth Peak Master of the Red Kun Lineage, it was simply impossible for him to join the Heiyu Family, let alone Heiyu Ao’s command.
“Very well.”
Heiyu Ao stood up.
So much enthusiasm, so much attention, and it actually came in exchange for Lin Yuan’s unhesitant rejection?
This gave Heiyu Ao the feeling of having his sincerity misplaced.
In terms of importance, Lin Yuan was not the most important among the more than two hundred evolvers under a hundred years old in the ‘Think Tank’ of the Heiyu Family.
But he was the first to explicitly reject the invitation of Heiyu Ao.
“Ordinary talent, too arrogant.”
Heiyu Ao took a deep look at Lin Yuan, whispered these words, and then his figure disappeared into his personal space.
Considering the level of the Heiyu Family, the talent of a Fourth Rank like Lin Yuan, who was under a hundred years old, was not top-notch.
Of course, it had nothing to do with ordinary talent.
Nevertheless, Heiyu Ao was annoyed and felt that Lin Yuan’s arrogance was much heavier in comparison to his talent.
…
“He’s still thoroughly offended.”
Lin Yuan shook his head slightly.
No wonder the little disciple that teacher took ten thousand years ago would eventually expose his identity on his own initiative.
Actually, facing the last few threats from Heiyu Ao just now, Lin Yuan also wanted to reveal his identity as the Peak Master of Shisan.
Then, watching Heiyu Ao panic and beg for mercy on his knees, even Heiyu Mo, the Seventh Rank Evolver of the Heiyu Family, would have to come and apologize.
But if it came to that—
The outcome of that little disciple teacher took ten thousand years ago might be what Lin Yuan would face afterwards.
Detected by Different Species through subtle clues, then subjected to frenzied assassination attempts.
“I’ve been low-key enough.”
Lin Yuan rubbed his temples.
From becoming an Evolver to now reaching the extreme of Fifth Rank, Lin Yuan had never left Canglan Star and had tried as much as possible to avoid causing trouble.
You know, which normal Fifth Rank Evolver has not traveled through half of the Star Domain or several Star Domains?
Although Fifth Rank Evolvers cannot survive in space, human civilization’s technology is strong enough to allow them to traverse the stars aboard space battleships.
Even many Sixth Rank Evolvers’ primary mode of travel is to board battleships.
This is also the mainstream mode of transportation in current human civilization.
But Lin Yuan hasn’t even left the planet to this day.
And yet, he was still sought out by Heiyu Ao.
If it were just an invitation from an ordinary financial power, it would have been just another rejection, but Heiyu Ao came on behalf of the Heiyu Family, and the Heiyu Family is one of the five major forces in the Chikun Star Domain.
“Actually, even if I reject Heiyu Ao, it’s highly unlikely that anything will happen. Heiyu Ao, no matter how bold, probably wouldn’t dare to make a move in reality…”
Lin Yuan silently thought to himself.
The various laws and regulations of cosmic human civilization strictly forbid Higher Rank Evolvers from striking at other citizens without cause.
If one violates this, severe punishment is assured.
If Heiyu Ao dared to strike at Lin Yuan in secret, he would have a hard time evading the investigation of the three goddesses afterward; Heiyu Ao would pay a severe price if he didn’t die, possibly implicating the Heiyu Family too.
Just that—
One fears not the ten thousand, but the “what if.”
What if Heiyu Ao really went crazy?
Lin Yuan considered things very comprehensively.
After realizing that he had thoroughly offended Heiyu Ao,
he began contacting his eldest senior brother.
As for why not the teacher… Should Lin Yuan have offended Heiyu Mo, the Seventh Rank Evolver of the Heiyu Family, he might have sought help from his teacher.
But Heiyu Ao? He’s not worth the teacher’s intervention.
The Chikun Starlord, Lin Yuan’s teacher, had already given him enough help. Lin Yuan did not want to trouble his teacher with such a small matter.
Virtual World.
Lin Yuan arrived in his eldest senior brother’s personal space.
The eldest senior brother was the earliest disciple taken by the Chikun Starlord.
He was also the strongest disciple, stepping into Seventh Rank early on and has always been a role model for the other Peak Masters to learn from.
“Little junior brother?”
“Why do you have time to seek me out?”
The eldest senior brother spoke warmly, looking at Lin Yuan with joy radiating from his face.
Having accompanied the Chikun Star Lord for the longest time, he knew well how much the Star Lord valued Lin Yuan.
To the eldest senior brother, it was a good thing that Lin Yuan took the initiative to find him as it could strengthen the bond between brothers.
“Eldest senior brother, there is an issue for which I need your help,”
Lin Yuan started to speak.
