Swallowing the Stars: Analyzing All Things

Temporary military base.

The moment Lin Yan broke through to the Realm Lord level, a faint fluctuation of Realm Lord aura spread out from the meditation room.

His breath was extremely weak.

But someone still noticed it.

In another quiet meditation room.

Commander Xuan Yi sat cross-legged in meditation, his eyes closed, his consciousness immersed in the comprehension of the laws, a faint silver flame swirling around him, flickering with each breath.

suddenly.

The appearance of an unfamiliar aura emanating from a realm lord caused him to open his eyes instantly.

"Um?"

Commander Xuan Yi's gaze pierced through the walls of the meditation room, through the layers of buildings, and landed on the meditation room where Lin Yan was.

"The Lord of the Realm?"

"It was that kid?"

A hint of surprise flashed in General Xuan Yi's eyes.

As the leader of a legion, he naturally has the right to access the resumes of every member under his command.

He knew the resumes of those realm lords and commanders by heart, and he also had a general understanding of the resumes of those domain lord captains. As for Lin Yan's resume, he had specifically looked after him beforehand.

Compared to other domain lords, Lin Yan's resume is exceptionally rich, even legendary.

He entered the extraterrestrial battlefield from the first level of the cosmic level and performed outstandingly during his service in the ninth battlefield, receiving a special commendation at the commander level.

Later, due to the changes in the Ninth Extraterrestrial Battlefield, he returned to the Universe Kingdom, but it only took him more than two hundred years to break through from the seventh level of the Universe level to the ninth level of the Domain Lord level.

Now, after serving under him for just over twenty years, he has crossed the Domain Lord stage and become a Realm Lord.

Although Lin Yan's performance was average and he never showed any amazing talent on the battlefield, the speed of his breakthrough surprised even the immortal military lord Xuan Yi.

"That was a perfect breakthrough."

Commander Xuan Yi withdrew his gaze, a slight smile playing on his lips. "Then you will take over Hu Yu's position as commander."

Yu Yu, one of the peak realm lords under his command, went to the logistics base a few days ago for some important matters and will not be able to return for a while.

With the position of commander vacant and the hundreds of squads under his command leaderless, a suitable candidate is needed to temporarily fill the vacancy.

"Whoosh!"

Commander Xuan Yi raised his right hand and gently tapped the air.

A screen unfolded in front of him, displaying the military system's appointment interface. He quickly swiped his finger across the screen, filling in a series of appointment information for Lin Yan.

Then, he clicked "confirm".

The appointment letter was immediately submitted to the military system for verification. With his authority as the military commander, the verification process for such a temporary appointment was very fast, taking at most the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.

Turn off the light screen.

Commander Xuan Yi closed his eyes again, and silver flames slowly swirled around him, returning the quiet room to silence.

……

In the meditation room.

Lin Yan sat cross-legged on the futon, his consciousness sinking into the depths of his sea of ​​consciousness, staring at the gray, broken stone slab.

The stone slab floated in the void of the sea of ​​consciousness, its surface covered with fine cracks and mottled marks, like an ancient artifact forgotten for countless years.

"Buzz~"

The moment Lin Yan's consciousness touched the stone slab, a clear message quickly entered his mind.

"this……"

Lin Yan looked pleasantly surprised.

After breaking through to the Realm Lord level, the speed at which the stone slab accumulated energy was indeed as he had previously calculated, increasing by a full hundred times compared to when he was at the Domain Lord level.

At the domain master level, only 0.0001 units of energy can be accumulated each year, a number so small as to be almost negligible, like adding water to a dried-up lake with a dropper.

Currently, the accumulation rate of World Lord level cultivators has reached 0.01 units per year. Although this rate is still not large, it is a qualitative leap compared to the beginning.

At this rate, even if he doesn't actively absorb energy, the stone slab can accumulate a unit on its own within a hundred years.

"besides……"

Lin Yan's consciousness withdrew from the sea of ​​consciousness and instead sank into the inner world of his body.

Within the inner world, a cosmic crystal mountain range stretching for thousands of miles lies across the land. The milky-white crystals gleam softly in the sunlight, each containing pure cosmic energy.

"Tch~"

With a thought.

The cosmic crystal mountain range evaporated instantly.

The mountain range, stretching for thousands of miles, vanished in the blink of an eye, transforming into a vast expanse of cosmic energy. Under Lin Yan's control, this energy seemed to flow through his sea of ​​consciousness and converge on the broken stone slab.

"Buzzing~"

The stone slab trembled.

Milky white light seeped from the surface of the stone slab, and the fine cracks seemed to come alive in the light, writhing slightly like blood vessels, greedily absorbing the incoming energy.

Lin Yan's mental energy closely followed the flow of energy, calculating the rate at which the stone slab absorbed it.

"At this speed..."

He got the answer instantly.

With his current body's absorption and conversion efficiency, plus the assistance of the nutrient solution and his inner world, he can accumulate one unit of energy in a year, which is many times faster than when he was at the Domain Lord level.

One unit per year.

In other words, he can have the stone slab analyze and deduce a secret method once a year, and he can achieve a qualitative leap in his understanding of the laws of space or water every year.

Each year can significantly advance the cultivation progress of "Void Instant Shadow Manual" or "Spirit of the Tides".

"Phew~"

Lin Yan withdrew his consciousness, opened his eyes, and let out a long breath. After hundreds of years in this world, he had finally entered the period of explosive power.

Lord of the Realm.

He has finally reached that level.

Although his inner world is only 10,000 kilometers in diameter and so fragile that it cannot withstand a single blow from a peak expert, it is his world, his source of power, and the starting point of his path.

The future is expected!

Lin Yan clenched his fist, and a ball of pale blue world power slowly condensed in his palm, gleaming softly in the light of the quiet room.

"Um?"

The soldier's watch suddenly jolted.

He quickly raised his arm, and the screen of his watch lit up, unfolding a blue light screen in front of him.

On the screen was a formal military notice, with the words "Appointment" in red standing out prominently in the title.

"Lin Yan is appointed as the acting commander of the 57th Army, effective immediately, pending further adjustments upon the return of Commander Hu Yu."

Appointed by: Xuan Yi, Commander of the 57th Army.

Lin Yan's gaze lingered on the contents of the notice for a moment, and a thought struck him slightly. He had only just broken through to the Realm Lord level, yet the Xuan Yi Army Lord already knew about it.

Immortal gods...

This temporary military base on the continent of Lanqi is likely under the influence of the opponent's law domain.

"The position of commander-in-chief?"

Lin Yan murmured that even if he was only acting as the commander, it meant that he would no longer have ten team members under his command, but a full hundred combat squads and a thousand cosmic-level warriors.

With greater power comes greater responsibility.

The pressure they face on the battlefield is also greater.

If given a choice, Lin Yan would definitely not choose to take on the position of commander. The military system has not updated the military merit quota, which means that only one mission is needed...

He can then accumulate the full amount of military merit.
