Creating Heavenly Laws

The reason why the Thunder God ranks first is entirely due to its dazzling combat style.

Summoning thunder, controlling thunder, transforming into thunder, especially the transformation of thunder, has garnered countless fans.

This resulted in higher popularity than Fang Qing, securing the top spot in this ranking.

Of course, this kind of folk ranking does not hold much authority.

It's only based on the past records of the top ten evolvers and their current popularity.

Nevertheless, the ranking of the top ten evolvers also reflects to some extent the outcome of the final decisive battle.

First of all, there are the top three, whether it's the Thunder God, Fang Qing, or even that Yang Wei.

In any case, the strength of these three evolvers is clearly a level above the other seven.

Almost everyone believes that the champion will emerge from these three individuals.

As for which one it will be, only time will tell after the battles.

In order to ensure the fairness of the competition, the organizers of the arena matches have not allowed these three evolvers to encounter each other so far.

Yang Wei is an exception, having been overwhelmed by the Thunder God before awakening his sixth-rank bloodline.

However, once the sixth-rank bloodline is awakened, it's hard to say who will win.

Bloodline-type evolvers are indeed constrained by their own bloodlines, but once they awaken a certain powerful bloodline, they can almost crush opponents of the same rank in the early stages.

The day before the global competition.

In the virtual world.

The organizers of the arena matches found Lin Yuan.

"Mr. Lin Yuan, hello, I am an assistant of the current arena match organizers." A woman with soft features and lilac-colored pupils smiled and said.

"Hello."

Lin Yuan nodded.

"We need you to record a video, mainly expressing your thoughts on the upcoming top ten competition."

The female assistant paused for a moment and continued, "Of course, Mr. Lin Yuan, if you don't know what to say, we can provide a script for you to read from."

After saying this, the female assistant took out a stack of documents.

Lin Yuan took it and casually glanced at it, immediately understanding that these scripts were mainly for declaring war on the other nine evolvers.

Although it's almost certain that the top three of this year's arena matches will be Fang Qing, the Thunder God, and Yang Wei.

Regardless, one must not lose momentum.

Even if one fails to reach the top three, there are still fourth to tenth places.

Such pre-match interviews are meant to provoke, stimulating other participants and the audience.

"I'll just speak for myself."

After reading the interview script, Lin Yuan felt that none of them suited him.

"If Mr. Lin Yuan has his own ideas, there's no need to read from the script," the female assistant said softly. Having worked for more than one arena match, she knew that some evolver participants often felt nervous or emotional before the competition, hence the thoughtful preparation of scripts.

"Then I'll go."

"Lastly, I hope Mr. Lin Yuan can achieve a good ranking."

The female assistant smiled and disappeared on the spot.

That evening.

Lin Yuan continued his usual practice.

At this moment, the intelligent assistant reminded Lin Yuan that the income division of the martial arts evolution pathway had been settled.

"Let's see how much money."

Lin Yuan became interested.

The income division is settled once a year.

Up to today, Lin Yuan has settled once.

However, that time, he just barely made it into the top hundred in the martial arts evolution pathway, and the time wasn't long, so the final income division was only a little less than ten million.

From the last settlement to this settlement, the martial arts evolution pathway has been in the top ten for almost a year, attracting many citizens to practice.

"1.5 billion and 36 million?"

Lin Yuan was slightly surprised to see the final income division.

This is just the net income, if you add the official's seventy percent share and corresponding taxes, wouldn't the total sales reach nearly a ten billion?

[Evolution Pathway: Martial Arts]

[Number of people practicing the Pre-Natal Chapter: Seven thousand eight hundred and ninety-three]

[Number of people practicing the Master Chapter: Two]

[Number of people practicing the Grandmaster Chapter: Zero]

"Someone has already practiced to the Master realm?"

Lin Yuan glanced at the relevant data of the martial arts evolution pathway.

These data are from the official records of the Cosmic Human Alliance and the Unified Registry of Evolvers Association.

There may be some errors, such as evolvers practicing to the Grandmaster realm but not registering.

But it shouldn't be many, someone like Lin Yuan, whose strength has surged significantly every eight months, is extremely rare.

"This data is not right."

Lin Yuan looked at the sales figures of various ranks of the martial arts evolution pathway again.

"More than two hundred copies of the Third-Rank Chapter sold?"

Lin Yuan was somewhat surprised.

The current martial arts evolution pathway is divided into the First-Rank Chapter, Second-Rank Chapter, and Third-Rank Chapter.

Lin Yuan priced these three stages as follows:

First-Rank Chapter: Ten thousand.

Second-Rank Chapter: Five hundred thousand.

Third-Rank Chapter: Five million.

And it hasn't been long since Lin Yuan uploaded the Third-Rank Chapter of the martial arts evolution pathway.

Yet it has already sold over two hundred copies? You should know that, at a price of five million each, two hundred copies amount to over 1 billion.

Even after deducting the seventy percent taken by the authorities and taxes, there's still three or four hundred millions left.

This is not a small sum.

"It should be a chain reaction caused by the martial arts evolution pathway reaching the top."

Lin Yuan pondered for a while, roughly understanding the reason.

After uploading the Third-Rank Chapter, it caused the Goddess of Wisdom to reassess the martial arts evolution pathway, leading to its top ranking on the Evolutionary Rankings.

This matter might not be a big deal in the entire Red Kun Star Region, but for the Canglan Star, it would definitely cause a stir in the evolver community.

For those top evolvers, spending over five million to purchase and study the martial arts evolution pathway is nothing out of the ordinary.

While over five million might seem like a lifetime's earnings to ordinary citizens, it's not a huge sum for third or fourth-rank evolvers.

"It's all paid back at once."

Lin Yuan felt happy because the purchase of the "Vermilion Fruit" and "Cold Jade", two cosmic spirit items, had caused his wealth to shrink, but it was immediately compensated.

And there's even a few hundred millions left.

"The next settlement should bring in even more income."

Lin Yuan thought to himself.

The impact of the martial arts evolution pathway reaching the top has not completely fermented yet. With time passing, future evolvers born on Canglan Star will inevitably prioritize the martial arts evolution pathway.

After all, under similar costs, choosing an evolution pathway ranked first on the Evolutionary Rankings over one ranked second, third, or fourth is what any normal person would know how to choose.

The next day.

The official competition for the global top ten began.

On an incomparably huge arena, there appeared a male and a female host.

These two hosts were the most famous hosts on Canglan Star, responsible for explaining the top ten finals of this competition.

The seats around were quickly filled with spectators, and on the virtual world broadcast screen, a large number of citizens were also shown watching.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the long-awaited top ten finals have finally arrived. Who will win the championship of this arena match, I'm sure everyone is eagerly curious."

The male host raised his hand and said loudly, "No more nonsense, let's now invite our ten evolver participants onto the stage."

The screen enlarged.

Fang Qing, Thunder God, Yang Wei, Lin Yuan, and others appeared one after another.

With each appearance of a contestant, there was a deafening cheer around, especially for Fang Qing, Thunder God, and Yang Wei.

As for the latter, many were less interested, as everyone was mainly focused on who among Fang Qing, Thunder God, and Yang Wei would win the championship.

"Lin Yuan, I love you."

When it was Lin Yuan's turn, some of the audience became excited.

Lin Yuan's style of play is special, he likes to "torture" his opponents, which has indeed attracted a group of "interestingly curious" die-hard fans.

"Alright."

At this point, the male host began to speak again.

"I have to say, these ten people are the most outstanding young evolvers on our Canglan Star, they are the future of our Canglan Star."

"But on the arena, victory and defeat still need to be determined."

The male host's voice was stirring, "The next competition is officially beginning."

"First, the scoring match."

"All ten evolver contestants will appear on an island hundreds of miles long and wide." "All contestants' goal is to find this blue crystal on the island."

The male host pointed his right hand, and a palm-sized, azure crystal appeared in front of everyone.

"There are one hundred of these crystals, scattered in various hidden locations on the island. The final ranking of the scoring match will be based on how many crystals each participant holds."

The male host paused for a moment when he said this, "In this scoring match, there is no prohibition against contestants fighting each other."

This sentence had a strong implication.

No prohibition against fighting means that merely finding the crystal is not enough; the most important thing is to guard it.

Otherwise, even if you find one hundred crystals, if you are killed and robbed by other evolvers, it's all for nothing.

"Now, the competition begins."

The male host and the female host said together.

Immediately.

Fang Qing, Thunder God, and others appeared in a certain location on the island.

And above the huge arena, there were ten screens showing the perspectives of the ten evolver participants.

"Next, you can choose the perspective of your favorite participant. The perspective can be switched at any time."

The male host reminded.

As soon as he finished speaking.

Many viewers began to choose their perspectives.

Among the ten screens, the number of viewers watching each perspective was also updated in real-time.

After a while.

The number of viewers for each perspective stabilized.

Among them, the perspective of Thunder God had the most viewers, over eleven billion.

Next was Fang Qing, with just over ten billion.

Yang Wei followed with just over 9 billion.

The number of viewers on the screens fluctuated frequently, indicating that many viewers were switching between different perspectives.

"Alright, the competition begins."

Every so often, the male host would switch perspectives to provide commentary.

But most of the time, they focused on Thunder God, Fang Qing, and Yang Wei's perspectives.

After all, these three received the most attention, and commenting on them would garner the greatest response.

"Finding things, I'm not very good at."

Fang Qing appeared in a dense forest, his face sinking into thought.

"But I can try."

Fang Qing closed his eyes, and vaguely, a huge "ancient god" shadow appeared behind him.

He utilized this 'Ancient God' phantom to rapidly expand his perception.

"Blue crystals?"

Thunder God appeared at the edge of the island. Faint blue lightning flashed in his pupils, and finally, purple thunder enveloped him within hundreds and thousands of meters.

Boom! Boom! Boom! One after another, blue crystals appeared under the collision of the purple thunder, falling into Thunder God's hands.

"Let me see where the crystals are."

Yang Wei, with a stern demeanor, his pupils subtly deepening.

Innate Talent - Insightful Eyes.

In an instant, everything in Yang Wei's perception, such as trees, rocks, and so on, became illusory.

Only the blue crystals emitted unusual colors.

"There's a crystal there."

Yang Wei 'saw' a blue crystal and flew directly towards it.

Over the huge arena.

The male host was quickly commentating.

"Look at our contestant Fang Qing, who has released the 'Ancient God' phantom directly, enhancing his perception, and has already found six blue crystals."

The male host praised and then switched the perspective to Thunder God.

"My god, Thunder God has actually awakened the embryonic form of his domain. It should be the embryonic form of the Thunder Domain. Using this embryonic form of the domain to find blue crystals, he indeed has an advantage over other contestants."

"Now our Thunder God contestant has found eleven crystals."

"Yang Wei's method of finding crystals is interesting. Can he directly know where the crystals are? Did he use some kind of pupil-related bloodline talent?"

The male host and the female host kept switching between the ten perspectives, commenting one by one.

Finally.

The male host switched to Lin Yuan's perspective.

"Our contestant Lin Yuan is resting?"

The male host was a bit stunned.

In the first nine perspectives, all the contestants were frantically searching for crystals.

But when it came to Lin Yuan, he was lying on a giant rock with his eyes closed as if resting?

And this scene was also seen by many viewers.

In Lin Yuan's perspective, he was leisurely lying on the giant rock.

It formed a strong contrast with the other contestants who were searching for crystals.

"No way, could it be that he has already given up struggling?"

"Right, Lin Yuan has mastered the embryonic form of the domain. In theory, he should be good at finding crystals, but finding them and keeping them are two different things."

"With Lin Yuan's strength, even if he finds the crystal, when he encounters powerful contestants like Thunder God and Fang Qing later, he will still have to obediently hand them over."

Countless viewers were discussing, mostly thinking that Lin Yuan had started to play poorly. After all, even if he didn't get one crystal, he would still be the tenth globally.

"It seems that our contestant Lin Yuan is very good at choosing."

The male host pondered for a while and finally came up with a better word.

Next, the male host switched perspectives again.

The passive attitude of competition like Lin Yuan's is not supported by the official arena, as it lacks excitement.

Even if there is no hope, one must struggle a bit, so as to stimulate more discussions.

On a certain giant rock on the island.

Lin Yuan opened his eyes and looked around.

"It's about time."

Lin Yuan thought to himself.

The rules of this scoring match were to find one hundred blue crystals scattered throughout the entire island.

These blue crystals could be hidden anywhere on the island.

Even if Lin Yuan wanted to find them, it would take some time.

It would be better to wait until the other nine evolvers had collected most of them and then go 'pick peaches' himself.

After all, the rules of the competition did not prohibit snatching, and even encouraged combat.

"Let's see who's nearby."

Lin Yuan's thoughts moved slightly, and his Tai Chi domain quickly spread.

One mile, ten miles, twenty miles, thirty miles.

"There are three."

Lin Yuan opened his eyes, and his figure disappeared from the spot.

"The tenth blue crystal."

Yang Wei maintained the bloodline talent 'Insightful Eyes,' and his efficiency in finding blue crystals was very fast. It didn't take long for him to find the tenth crystal.

It's worth noting that there were only a hundred crystals on the entire island.

"Another one?"

Yang Wei looked around, his eyes brightening, and he was about to move forward.

Just then.

A terrifying pressure descended.

"This?"

Yang Wei's expression showed fear.

Immediately, everything turned black, and he became nothingness.

The next moment.

Yang Wei appeared in the rest area of the arena.

"Me?"

A look of disbelief appeared on Yang Wei's face.

"Am I dead?"

Yang Wei's mind was a mess.

Until this moment, he still didn't know how he died?

You should know that even if he encountered the strongest Thunder God, Fang Qing, he still had the confidence to fight for a while. Even if he lost, it would be a close defeat.

To be directly killed like this was too unbelievable.

At the same time.

In the high sky of the huge arena.

The screen belonging to Yang Wei's perspective suddenly went 'black'.

The nearly ten billion viewers watching Yang Wei's perspective suddenly felt lost and exploded with discussion.
