The God of Heavens

Chapter 328 The First Trial for the Human Race

The Eternal Starfield has always had an almost fanatical pursuit of extraordinary physiques.

Their fleet spends years traversing the starry sea, collecting divine substances and searching for special bloodlines; some of them have even traveled to the Big Dipper Star Region.

In the original story, under the influence of Nan Yao, the Eternal Starfield went to Beidou and fought against the Primordial Clan. They coveted the Primordial Clan's unique bloodline power and attempted to refine it into an evolution fluid.

The ancient race was looked down upon and treated as sacred beasts for resource gathering. Enraged, they launched a fierce counterattack, venturing deep into the heart of the Eternal Starfield, and the two sides engaged in an earth-shattering battle.

Therefore, they all paid special attention when they heard Lin Yu mention the Big Dipper.

Now that the Southern Demon is gone, Lin Yu feels it is necessary to let them know some information about the Northern Dipper.

"That's right, it's a sacred place with traces of ancient gods' activities, various powerful bloodlines, ancient mines formed from primordial life stones, and many ancient races still in existence. Its resources are inexhaustible."

Lin Yu began to speak, recounting some information about Beidou, which immediately caused a sensation. Everyone was now restless, their eyes gleaming with greed.

"There are Immortal Tear Green Gold and Dragon Pattern Black Gold... which can be refined into divine mechs. In addition, the Big Dipper also contains supreme elixirs used by ancient gods to refine immortal pills!"

"My God, if it's true, its value is immeasurable. It would be a terrible waste for these treasures to fall into the hands of the natives. Only we can make them realize their true value!"

Lanto the Sage of the Lanto family said, making no attempt to hide the word "native" from Lin Yu.

As a renowned family of explorers on the Eternal Star, the Lanto race started as raiders and have long been accustomed to considering alien resources as their own.

“Words are meaningless! If it were truly a land teeming with miraculous herbs, why would you leave? There must be hidden dangers!” The ancient sage of the Eternal Zhao family sneered as he raised his doubts.

Lin Yu remained calm and composed: "Do you all still remember Wan Qing and Wu Shi? They both came from the Big Dipper. I can tell you that Wan Qing returned to his homeland ten thousand years ago and left behind an immortal lineage and an astonishing treasure before his death."

The moment these words were spoken, the entire room fell silent. The legend of Wan Qing's invincible dominance in this place back then still stirs the hearts of many.

Soon, a king couldn't contain himself any longer: "If what you say is true, then cooperation is worthwhile. A war that crosses star systems would surely be a grand event!"

"Sure, sure. Just give me a share of the spoils later," Lin Yu said with a smile.

Hopefully, when they stumble upon the Big Dipper and discover a dozen or so imperial weapons, they'll still be able to laugh.

"Go forth! The relics of ancient gods and countless treasures await you in the Big Dipper. Go and take what you desire!"

Having said that, Lin Yu transformed into a beam of light and vanished in an instant.

"Huh? Damn it, where did he go?"

How did he escape?

"How could he still escape when so many of our sages joined forces to seal off the void?"

The assembled princes and nobles were furious, their faces turning ashen. They had originally thought that their inescapable trap would be enough to ensnare Lin Yu here, but they never expected that he could disappear without a trace.

"Search! Even if we have to turn the Eternal Starfield upside down, we must find him!" someone shouted sternly.

Lantogu Saint's gaze was gloomy. He walked to where Lin Yu had just stood and suddenly noticed a faint ball of divine light floating on the ground. He reached out and grabbed it, and the divine light fell into his palm, transforming into a crystal-clear rune.

"Hmm? The coordinates of the Big Dipper Star Region?" Lanto Ancient Saint raised an eyebrow, then his expression changed drastically.

The gazes of the many powerful figures around him instantly turned fervent, staring intently at the rune in his hand, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.

"Gentlemen, this matter requires careful consideration." Lantogu Saint chuckled and quickly said, "We will not keep the coordinates to ourselves. Fellow Daoists who are interested in the expedition can discuss it together."

“Indeed, the expedition is extremely costly and requires massive resources to support it. We should form an alliance.” Another Ancient Saint chimed in.

What was initially a tense standoff instantly transformed into a negotiation session. All parties involved spoke up, arguing endlessly, with no one willing to back down an inch.

After all, an undeveloped ancient star field means endless resources and opportunities, enough to drive any power mad.

……

Big Dipper.

In the Holy Land of Yao Guang, Lin Yu's avatar, the future master "Yi," sat calmly in the center of the main hall and slowly spoke: "Soon, Beidou will welcome a group of visitors."

"What kind of person is he? Is he a saint from beyond the realm?" Yao Xi asked. She was originally cultivating with the help of the Immortal Monument cheat, but Lin Yu's avatar suddenly said that he had something to discuss.

Not to boast, but the current situation in Beidou is that the Human Alliance has already established its dominance, and no outsiders can shake the existing order here.

"They are a group of ancient saints from the Eternal Starfield."

"Eternal Starfield?"

"That's right, it's the place where the UFO that landed in Wangkong City originated."

"They now regard the ancient star of the Big Dipper as a huge treasure, and will send many saint-level warships and ancient saints to search for the treasure in the future."

The Lord of the Future waved his hand, and a vision of the Eternal Starfield's understanding of the Big Dipper appeared in the void—

The Primordial Race were ferocious beasts, the Ancestral King was a sacred beast, the Human Race were uncivilized natives, and the various forbidden zones of life were treasure troves.
Of course, Lin Yu did not mention that this impression came from his own misconception.

"Pfft—" Yunlan couldn't help but laugh, "Do they really think Beidou is a barbaric land? They want to 'treasure hunt' in the forbidden zone?"

A soft laugh immediately filled the hall.

"Therefore, we must 'treat' these guests well," Lin Yu's avatar said with a slight smile, "making them feel right at home."

Yao Xi narrowed her eyes: "What are you up to now?"

"It's just to find a suitable whetstone for the Beidou cultivators," the future ruler said calmly. "After all, it's a civilization that has produced emperors, so it's perfect for training troops."

Once this vanguard is annihilated, it will be time to launch the Beidou expedition into the Eternal Starfield. Lin Yu naturally has high hopes for the Eternal Starfield; to conquer that place, he must first subdue them.

If that prosperous star field, with its countless population and coexistence of technology and cultivation, could be brought under control, what immense power of faith and aspiration would it bring?

Moreover, the Yao Guang Holy Land will inevitably wage war against all the heavens sooner or later, and this war is the best rehearsal. At the same time, it can also unite the various forces of the Big Dipper into one force during the war.

"Should we start preparing now?" Yao Xi asked.

The Eternal Starfield is not weak, but their Yao Guang Holy Land is even stronger. Not to mention, they have three Yao Guang Imperial Weapons, not to mention the Imperial Weapons of the Human Alliance.

How many Imperial Weapons are there in the Eternal Starfield?
"You can appropriately contact those who have close ties with our Holy Land, mobilize cultivators, and forge weapons of war. You should also be prepared to fight against the geniuses of the Eternal Starfield."

The technology of the Saint-level mecha and the super evolution fluid are sure to attract the attention of many forces, and Lin Yu is not afraid that they will not be tempted.

Lin Yu also possesses technologies such as mechs and Saint-level warships in the Eternal Starfield, but what sets him apart is that he also has the artifact-forging methods from the Yangshen World.

Artifacts like the Creation Ship are equipped with Thunder Pool and have their own power source.

Even those with low cultivation levels can still exert their due combat power, and there won't be any instances where the sacred artifact goes out halfway through a battle.

……

Time flies, and in just a few months, Lin Yu himself left the Eternal Starfield.

Without pausing, he resolutely ventured into the depths of the ancient starry road, his figure gradually disappearing into the vast starry sky.

The journey from the Eternal Starfield to the first barrier of humanity is long and arduous. In the original timeline, it took Ye Fan a full ten years to complete this journey.

As for the Big Dipper, with the future ruler present, they can even plant people in the Eternal Starfield in advance. Everything is under control, and the fate of the Eternal Starfield is already sealed.

The universe was cold and dark, and Lin Yu continued his journey along the ancient path of humanity. The road ahead was long and uncertain.

This ancient road, originating from the Big Dipper, is fraught with twists and turns and endless dangers, after all, it is the infamous Burial Star of Emperors.

The journey was almost entirely fraught with death, and there were even opponents at the Saint King level.

"No wonder Ye Fan had to fight so fiercely, and the Southern Demon was in dire straits in Eternal Realm. In such a perilous situation, anyone who is not a true prodigy will almost certainly perish halfway through."

Lin Yu stood on a moonlit star, with a huge corpse beneath his feet. This was an ancient beast that fed on star cores, extremely rare and powerful. Under normal circumstances, creatures on ancient life-bearing stars would only face despair if they encountered it.

The Taiyin star beneath his feet was like that; it was not perfect, but rather like an oval apple that had been bitten into, similar to a certain brand from Lin Yu's previous life, only with a larger bite mark.

This being was unintelligent and only possessed the instinct to devour. Perhaps it sensed that Lin Yu, this little guy, was full of energy and wanted to taste him, but it died after trying.

Lin Yu walked forward under the starlight, and the waning moon behind him gradually turned into a small dot. Three years passed in this journey.

He traversed one desolate star field after another, occasionally encountering rare sources of life. On one ancient star, several reckless sacred beasts blocked his path, only to be turned into blood mist with a casual flick of his finger.

Although this battle was brief, it spread his name throughout the first pass of the ancient human road, and his fearsome reputation gradually grew, becoming a legend that later generations talked about with relish.

"finally reached."

Looking at the dozens of ancient stone tablets floating in the starry sky, Lin Yu let out a long sigh. These stone tablets were mottled and weathered, and were engraved with guidance left by the ancient sages of the human race, all pointing to the depths of the starry sky.

After years of arduous journey, the road ahead is finally in sight.

"Ow--"

Suddenly, a deafening roar pierced the starry sky. In the distance, billowing smoke and blood-red energy surged into the heavens, revealing a group of cultivators riding ancient beasts as they charged towards them.

There were burly men riding Qilong, their heads ferocious and their scales menacing; there were aloof cultivators riding dragon-eating beasts, their horns like knives, their killing intent overwhelming; and there were even fairies riding phoenixes, gracefully arriving, their robes fluttering like celestial beings descending to earth.

These prodigies from various regions are now converging in the same direction.

Half a day later, Lin Yu arrived deep in the starry sky and saw the magnificent city of the first pass of the ancient road.

In the vast starry sky, a magnificent ancient city floats silently. It does not rely on any star, but stands alone in the universe, bathed in starlight, like a divine miracle.

"This is the first challenge on the ancient road of humanity."

Lin Yu arrived through the air, his robes fluttering in the starlight. Around him, trial participants from all regions stopped and looked up, overwhelmed by the imposing aura of this colossal star city.

The city walls stretch like mountains, forged entirely from immortal divine metal, their surfaces engraved with ancient Daoist patterns. The city gates, over a thousand feet high, stand tightly shut like an insurmountable chasm, seemingly having stood here since the age of mythology, witnessing the rise and fall of countless geniuses.

"Roar--"

Wild beasts roared all around, and strange birds circled overhead. A coiled dragon lay in wait, a purple lightning deer trotted through the air, and ferocious birds tore at a blue dragon, blood raining down.

On the backs of these ancient and exotic creatures sat powerful figures with terrifying auras, all gazing at the city gate, waiting for the ancient road to open.

Lin Yu's arrival caused a stir.

Clad in the robes of the gods, his sleeves billowing, he walked calmly toward the city gate. Though he did not exude any deliberate pressure, his profound aura, in harmony with the Dao, made him stand out from the crowd like a crane among chickens.

"Who is this person? Such a powerful Dao aura." A female cultivator riding a purple lightning deer asked in a low voice, a hint of surprise flashing in her beautiful eyes.

"Be careful what you say! That's the ruthless person who once killed a three-headed sacred beast with a single finger! It's said that even the Commander of the Alliance was alarmed."

Upon hearing this, the surrounding cultivators all felt a chill run down their spines. Several trial participants who were originally standing in the center of the city gate quietly made way for them.

The crowd parted like a tide.

Wherever Lin Yu passed, the once noisy starry sky gradually quieted down. Those ferocious and terrifying primordial beasts all lowered their heads and emitted uneasy low growls.
