Upon reaching the ultimate, the inner world would transform towards an inner universe, but the leap from a world to a universe? Such a span is akin to going from one to ten thousand, a hundred thousand, a million.
This bead could assist the inner world in transforming into an inner universe, thus acting as a treasure beneficial for reaching the ultimate, enough to drive the Ancient Gods at the peak of Eleventh Rank in the deep cosmic starry skies insane.
"This... this is too valuable," Lin Yuan, despite possessing numerous Twelve-Star Strange Treasure weapons, recognized that these were merely external objects.
Only by stepping into the Twelfth Rank Level oneself was the essence.
"It's not a matter of being valuable or not," Xia Qin Supreme Being shook his head and said, "Take it."
Lin Yuan immediately stowed away the 'Source of the Universe.'
"Let Yudie send you back."
Xia Qin Supreme Being looked at Lin Yuan.
This number three stronghold of human civilization was surrounded by a Spatial-Temporal Maze; Lin Yuan himself couldn't leave on his own.
the nine Supreme Beings on the field looked at each other once more.
"Xia Qin, how exactly did you find this kid?"
"His talent is too terrifying, figuring out the Fusion Rules of Time and Space at just the Tenth Stage?"
"To be honest, I feel like with another retreat, that kid will reach the ultimate."
The Supreme Beings conversed in low voices, their tones filled with awe.
Outside the Milky Way Main Star,
Lin Yuan's Taiyang Divine Spirit appeared silently.
Lin Yuan glanced around, his expression thoughtful, "I can sense it; the coordinates of the third stronghold, located deep within layers of space, similar to the Xuanhuang Secret Realm, but not as completely hidden as the Xuanhuang Secret Realm."
"I don't want to think about these anymore."
Lin Yuan's figure disappeared, reappearing inside the Star Lord's Great Hall.
The Source of the Universe flew out.
Hovering in front of his true self.
Since the Source of the Universe could aid the inner world in transforming towards an inner universe, it was naturally prioritized for use by the true self.
As for the two great Divine Spirits of Taiyin and Taiyang... as long as Lin Yuan could step into the ultimate, the two Divine Spirits would naturally be able to transform successively, and the inner world would likewise evolve into an inner universe.
"The Source of the Universe?"
Lin Yuan carefully observed the bead in front of him.
In the presence of the Supreme Being, Lin Yuan did not examine it closely.
But now, there was no need for that.
"According to Xia Qin Supreme Being's method, the use of the Source of the Universe only requires bringing it into the inner world, then contacting it with the world's power," Lin Yuan immediately began to try.
Lin Yuan's will descended upon the inner world, accompanied by the Source of the Universe.
Lin Yuan briefly scanned it, the vast inner world thriving, at the center, an immense ancient tree towering, swaying slightly, exuding a unique aura, stabilizing everything within the inner world.
It was the World Tree.
As a Twelve-Star exotic treasure, the World Tree had a stabilizing effect on the inner world.
To some extent, the World Tree also benefited the transformation of the inner world towards an inner universe, though slight and hard to notice.
"In a few centuries, my World Tree should be able to bear World Fruits," Lin Yuan looked around, normally, a World Tree would take at least a million to ten million years from rooting to fruit-bearing.
But alas, the foundation of Lin Yuan's inner world was too strong, allowing the World Tree to complete several million to tens of millions of years of growth in just two hundred years.
Lin Yuan gathered his thoughts and began to manipulate the power of the world to contact the Source of the Universe in front of him.
The moment the power of the world touched the Source of the Universe, a series of scenes emerged in Lin Yuan's consciousness, those were various cosmic scenarios from the beginning of the universe.
The fist-sized Source of the Universe suddenly exploded, turning into countless fine powders, reforming into a scene of cosmic starry skies, gradually merging into Lin Yuan's inner world.
As the creator of the inner world, Lin Yuan naturally sensed the changes in his inner world firsthand.
The formerly vast inner world suddenly became ancient and profound as if it had experienced endless years, spanning from the beginning of the universe to the present.
"Is this... Is this the essence of time?"
Lin Yuan was inexplicably shocked in his heart; the size of the inner world and the depth of its spatial layers only represented spatial essence.
But now, Lin Yuan distinctly felt a change and significant enhancement in the temporal essence of the inner world, as if it had existed for a long time.
For the inner world to transform into an inner universe, relying merely on spatial essence was insufficient; temporal essence was equally indispensable.
In terms of spatial essence, Lin Yuan's inner world was perhaps not even comparable to an Eleventh Rank Powerhouse, but in terms of temporal essence? It was slightly ordinary, and this could potentially become a fatal flaw when reaching for the ultimate.
But now, with the infusion of the Source of the Universe, Lin Yuan's inner world's temporal essence was also replenished, integrating time and space as one.
"The Supreme Beings must have seen that my cultivation time was too short, lacking in temporal essence, thus they gave me this Source of the Universe…" Lin Yuan was profoundly grateful in his heart, as the Source of the Universe was immensely helpful to him.
"With the depth of space I now possess, and the length of time, when I challenge Tier 11 and endure the Chaos Void Origin Infusion again, perhaps I could bring my inner world close to the level of an inner universe?" Lin Yuan secretly thought.
Xia Qin Supreme Being granted the Source of the Universe, making up for Lin Yuan's lack of temporal essence, but the Supreme Beings certainly did not expect that Lin Yuan's inner world, in spatial essence, was already terrifyingly high.
