Chapter 138
🕑 Added 2024-04-21 04:00:02 +0000 UTC"Black Prison Ao, you need to pull yourself together."
"It would be best to send a team of six-rank evolvers to come and let me crush them."
"Then I'll make a big move to save Junior Brother in a righteous manner amidst danger. This way, won't Junior Brother be moved to tears?"
The bald man lazily leaned back in his chair by the roadside, feeling quite pleased with himself.
With his status and position, he could naturally directly warn the Black Prison Family. But doing so would not fulfill Junior Brother's request to continue cultivating on Canglan Star for a few more years.
The personal warning from the Red Kun Lineage's Peak Master would undoubtedly attract attention from numerous forces in this star region and neighboring ones.
For example—
What exactly happened to prompt the Peak Master of the Red Kun Lineage to personally warn the Black Prison Family?
It was because of that little son of Black Prison Mo.
However insignificant this person was, why would he attract the attention of the Peak Master?
Oh, it's because this little son, using the power of the Black Prison Family, oppressed a talented evolver named Lin Yuan on Canglan Star.
How could a mere talented evolver from a medium-sized life planet attract the attention of the illustrious Peak Master of the Red Kun Lineage?
Once this conclusion is drawn, people will surely speculate on Lin Yuan's true identity. Could it be related to the Thirteenth Peak Master of the Red Kun Lineage? Or perhaps, it is the Thirteenth Peak Master himself?
Of course, such speculations might be just one of many.
But when it comes to the mysterious Thirteenth Peak Master, even if it's just a possibility or speculation, once it's known to other races, they won't easily let it go.
They would rather make a mistake than let the future Thirteenth Peak Master grow.
Of course.
The bald man could also secretly warn the Black Prison Family, warning Black Prison Mo.
But if Black Prison Ao reacts abnormally afterward, such as suddenly letting go of Lin Yuan or suddenly being recalled to the Black Prison Family, it would still arouse external reactions. Those 'divination' type evolvers would deduce useful information based on some trivial information and rumors.
And.
The bald man didn't completely trust the Black Prison Family. Even if he warned them in secret, many external forces wouldn't know, but wouldn't the Black Prison Family eventually find out? What if they have other intentions?
So, for the bald man, the safest way is to personally stay on Canglan Star.
As long as he is there, no matter what changes occur outside, even if Canglan Star collapses and the nearby star systems are destroyed, he is confident that Junior Brother will not suffer any harm.
Although the body he has now is a recently condensed avatar, it is not much weaker than his main body.
And because it has never been revealed, the outside world is unaware of this avatar of his, used to protect Junior Brother, and it won't be noticed by some cunning 'divination' type evolvers.
At the Central Continent Manor.
Lin Yuan sat cross-legged in the underground training ground.
"What a pity."
"Ever since I uploaded the 'Fifth Rank' chapter of the martial path evolution, the Goddess of Wisdom has actively lifted the information blockade on me and fabricated a normal growth trajectory."
Lin Yuan sighed.
Information blockade serves as both protection and warning.
If someone wants to deal with Lin Yuan and then checks his information, finding it blocked would make them cautious.
But if a citizen whose information is blocked exceeds a certain limit of importance, then the information blockade starts to feel like a self-exposure.
Indeed, citizens whose information is blocked are not limited to the founder of the evolutionary path. There are geniuses in the evolutionary field, culinary field, scientific research field, artistic field, and so on.
But now, martial path evolvers have the possibility to advance to the eighth rank of evolutionary path. In other words, Lin Yuan has the potential to become a new evolutionary scholar in the future.
For such an important figure, if their information is blocked, it becomes risky for others to check it, as they may draw attention.
How to truly protect a talent?
That is to make this talent indistinguishable from others.
Even if others check Lin Yuan's information, they would only see the information fabricated by the Goddess of Wisdom, thinking that Lin Yuan is just an ordinary Fourth Rank evolver at most, with some talent, and may advance to the Fifth Rank in the future.
That's it.
In this way, even if targeted, it wouldn't be too much, not worth it for other races to spend a huge price to assassinate.
Of course, an evolver worthy of having their information personally fabricated by the Goddess of Wisdom must be highly important, so they would surely have other means of protection arranged.
On the other side of Canglan Star.
A dwarf-like man was enjoying some food.
"Well, although this planet is backward, the food is not bad."
The dwarf-like man walked casually, causing many young and beautiful female citizens around him to retreat in fear.
"What's wrong?"
"Haven't seen a Ratkin before?"
The dwarf-like man patted his round belly, unconcerned.
The Ratkin. One of the stellar races that completely surrendered to human civilization, has been fully integrated into the human race for millions of years. However, they are still not very common on some medium-sized life planets.
"The women on this planet really don't fit my aesthetic. How can they compare to those cute little potatoes of the Ratkin?"
The dwarf-like man walked for a while, then stopped, looking in the direction of the mainland from afar.
"The Goddess of Wisdom went to great lengths. In order to protect that person, she forcibly transferred me from the border battlefield, to come to this planet secretly and act as a bodyguard."
The dwarf-like man sighed.
As a pinnacle existence of the Seventh Rank, even on the border battlefield, he could kill everywhere, with unparalleled prestige. But now, he had to wander around on a medium-sized life planet.
"However, the more so, it also proves the higher importance of that person. The Goddess wouldn't do meaningless things, let alone waste alliance resources," the dwarf man thought to himself.
"The task the Goddess gave me is to protect that talented evolver named 'Lin Yuan' until the sixth rank," the dwarf man also looked up information about 'Lin Yuan'.
Of course, the information he found was all fabricated by the Goddess of Wisdom.
"Just when Lin Yuan is only at the fourth rank, although he has some talent and is expected to reach the fifth rank, but the sixth rank..." the dwarf man felt like he would have to stay on this planet for hundreds of years more.
"Let's just take a break," the dwarf man decided not to think too much.
Half a month later.
The trade between the Black Prison Family and Canglan Star gradually ceased.
For a moment, many corporate conglomerates on Canglan Star fell into panic.
These conglomerates relied on trading with the Black Prison Family to make profits, but now the Black Prison Family would rather breach the contract and pay the penalty than continue the relationship with Canglan Star.
Naturally, this made these conglomerates quite anxious.
"What's going on?"
"Weren't we cooperating well before?"
"The rare metals developed by our group can only be handled by the Black Prison Family. If they leave, who else can we cooperate with?"
The business circle of Canglan Star erupted into discussions.
"Lord Black Prison Ao, why did you cut off trade with Canglan Star?" a director of a group contacted a member of the Black Prison Family responsible for trade with Canglan Star.
If it was just one or two companies stopping cooperation, it might be an emergency situation, but now, all the Black Prison Family's business related to Canglan Star had been suspended.
Obviously, there was someone influential targeting Canglan Star behind the scenes.
"Don't know?"
"Don't you know what you've done on Canglan Star?"
Black Prison Ao's expression was arrogant as he frowned.
"I really don't know," the group director looked helpless, "I hope Lord can point it out, so we can see if there's any chance of remedy."
"There's an evolver on your planet named Lin Yuan, right??" Black Prison Ao's tone was forceful. "This Lin Yuan actually dared to refuse MY invitation. I was so sincere, offering such generous conditions, but he rejected me!"
"Is this looking down on our Black Prison Family? Your Canglan Star actually produced such a citizen, so our Black Prison Family doesn't need to continue cooperating with you."
After saying that, Black Prison Ao directly severed the connection.
"Lin Yuan?"
This group director felt a chill in his heart. He naturally knew who Lin Yuan was—the champion of the last arena competition, a prominent figure on Canglan Star.
But now, Lin Yuan had actually offended the huge Black Prison Family?
The changes in public opinion on Canglan Star were naturally seen by Lin Yuan.
"Black Prison Ao is indeed suppressing Canglan Star in trade, shifting all the public opinion pressure onto me," Lin Yuan thought to himself as he browsed through the virtual world.
Now on Canglan Star, the public opinion had started blaming Lin Yuan.
Blaming Lin Yuan for why he refused Young Master Ao's invitation. Blaming Lin Yuan for why he implicated Canglan Star. Blaming Lin Yuan for why he still hasn't apologized to Black Prison Ao until now.
Various pressures and criticisms all fell on Lin Yuan's head.
Being condemned by the world. Being pointed at by thousands.
It was not enough to describe it.
"That Black Prison Ao thinks that because I'm young and my mindset is poor, I can't withstand the pressure from hundreds of millions of people? And finally beg him for mercy?" A hint of mockery appeared on Lin Yuan's face.
In fact, ordinary people, even four-rank evolvers, might not be able to withstand such immense pressure.
But Lin Yuan was not an ordinary person. After experiencing four transmigration and the passage of seven to eight hundred years, if Lin Yuan couldn't bear this pressure, then it would truly be futile.
"Breaking the deadlock is also simple."
"Using the influence of the Red Kun Lineage."
"But if I do this, I'll have to go to the Red Kun main star in advance, and the secret of practicing the martial path evolution pathway may also be exposed."
Lin Yuan's face remained calm as his thoughts circulated.
In addition, the best way is naturally to ignore external pressure. As long as he breaks through to the sixth rank, all the problems will naturally be resolved.
Canglan Star's virtual world.
Led by Governor Song Wuyang, responsible persons of many current corporate conglomerates discussed countermeasures against the Black Prison Family's cut-off trade.
"Speak up."
"What's the situation now?"
Governor Song Wuyang sat in the main seat, looking at the people participating in the meeting.
"Governor Song, the Black Prison Group voluntarily cut off contact. Although they compensated the standard breach of contract fee according to the contract, these penalty fees can only solve the immediate problem."
"Now the most important thing is to find new trading partners. But the influence of the Black Prison Family is too great.
Even though they are willing to pay the breach of contract fee, they still want to cut off relations with Canglan Star. This scene makes other forces afraid to approach us."
The planets that the Black Prison Family gave up trading. Will other forces take over? Are they planning to be enemies with the Black Prison Family?
It is precisely out of this concern that even if the conglomerate forces on Canglan Star offer low prices and give up most of the profits, no force comes to take over.
In the Red Kun Star Domain, the Black Prison Family is one of the five behemoth forces, and there is even a trend of standing above the other four forces.
"What I'm worried about is that as time goes by, other forces trading with us on Canglan Star will also gradually withdraw," an old man spoke, expressing his concerns.
"When the wall falls, everyone pushes," this phrase has always been true.
Once this really happens, all trade channels of Canglan Star may be blocked, and in the long run, there may be a possibility of falling to a lower life planet.
"I understand."
"What's your solution?"
"The simplest solution is naturally to have that Lin Yuan apologize to Young Master Ao of the Black Prison Family voluntarily."
A participant whispered.
As soon as this was said, everyone else nodded.
Only if Lin Yuan yielded to Young Master Ao, would the crisis on Canglan Star be resolved naturally, and trade with the Black Prison Family would be restored.
"Since Mr. Lin is unwilling, how can I force him?"
"Let's talk about other methods."
Governor Song Wuyang shook his head. This method was indeed the simplest, but it was also the most difficult.
Lin Yuan was a four-rank evolver and also the champion of the arena competition. If such a genius were forced, he might immigrate to another planet in desperation. Wouldn't that be a loss for Canglan Star?
"Other methods. That is to continue looking for new trading partners. In the Red Kun Star Domain, there are always forces that are not afraid of the Black Prison Family."
Someone sighed.
However, this method is easier said than done. Can trading partners be found just because they are sought? And now that Canglan Star has been blacklisted by the Black Prison Family, trying to get other forces to cooperate by risking offending the Black Prison Family would certainly require significant concessions.
In the Central Mainland Manor.
Lin Yuan sat cross-legged.
He glanced outside the main building.
Although he was not affected by public opinion, his parents and sister, Lin Yi, seemed a bit disheartened, probably seeing the comments about Lin Yuan on the internet.
Cutting off someone's financial path is like killing their parents.
Even though Lin Yuan was a four-rank evolver, even though Lin Yuan was the champion of the arena competition, there were still people daring to angrily curse him on the internet.
Of course.
This was only limited to the internet.
So far, Lin Yuan had not witnessed any scenes of unidentified citizens near the manor.
With Lin Yuan's strength and status, they only dared to curse him online. As for confronting him in reality? Confronting a four-rank evolver? That would require at least the strength of a five-rank evolver.
And a five-rank evolver would not offend Lin Yuan because of this matter.
"Wait a little longer."
Lin Yuan closed his eyes. As long as he stepped into the sixth rank, everything would be over.
Just as Lin Yuan was about to seclude himself.
The intelligent assistant suddenly reminded Lin Yuan.
"Master, someone is looking for you."
"Who?" Lin Yuan raised an eyebrow.
"It's Fang Qing."
Virtual world.
Personal space.
Lin Yuan's figure appeared.
He immediately clicked the button to accept the request.
Shortly after.
Fang Qing appeared in front of him.
But Fang Qing's figure was not yet completely clear.
An angry voice came through.
"That damn Black Prison Ao actually dared to suppress Canglan Star while I was away?"
"Who gave him the courage to do this?"
