Yet, life spans will eventually run out one day.
Fifty million years may be just another step for Ninth Rank and Tenth Rank Evolvers, let alone Eleventh-Rank Evolvers.
Moreover, aside from extending life, the Eternal Spring also has many wondrous effects on the flesh, capable of enhancing the potential and foundation of one's body.
This is a foundation unique to Human Civilization; the extreme longevity of their Evolvers ranked Ninth and above surpasses that of the same ranks from other clans by fifty million years.
The difference may not be evident in the short term, but it becomes quite apparent over an extended timeline.
However, the cost to activate the Eternal Spring is substantial. There are two ways for someone from Human Civilization to bathe in the Eternal Spring:
One is by achieving Ninth Rank.
The other is by spending five million Merit Points.
Beyond these, there are no exceptions.
Once, a Supreme Being from a Different Species wanted to use the Eternal Spring to enhance the foundation of a valued junior.
For this, the Supreme Being was willing to offer a Eleven-Star supreme cosmic Rare Treasure.
Eleven-Star supreme... These treasures are on the same level as the World Tree, each one immeasurably valuable and a heritage that can be passed down within a clan.
Still, Human Civilization refused in the end.
It wasn't because they undervalued the Eleven-Star supreme cosmic Rare Treasure but because they were unwilling to 'aid an enemy.'
The valued junior of that Different Species Supreme Being had immense potential and hope to become a Supreme Being, especially with an added fifty million years of life span.
The likelihood of taking that step would be much greater.
To let a Different Species potentially gain another Supreme Being over a Eleven-Star supreme cosmic Rare Treasure was not a mistake Human Civilization would make.
Even if that Different Species had not engaged in direct conflict with Human Civilization, such a thing was absolutely not permitted.
Human Civilization is cautious not only towards Different Species who have submitted to them but also those within the Human Civilization Alliance, so why not others?
'Those not of our race must have different hearts.'
"Let's begin."
Lin Yuan put away his Eighth Layer armor and walked naked into the pool.
The moment he soaked in the milky white spring water, he felt a cool power merge into his body through his skin and rapidly spread throughout his limbs and bones.
"This feeling?"
Lin Yuan carefully observed the changes in his body and found that each cell was furiously absorbing the spring water. In just a moment, he realized that the potential of his flesh was beginning to increase.
What is the potential of the flesh?
Whether an Eighth Rank or Ninth Rank Evolver, the flesh has its limits, it will not strengthen endlessly. After approaching the limit, the rate of enhancement will slow down or even stagnate.
This is what is known as the potential of the flesh.
And an increase in potential means the strength of the flesh can continue to improve, equivalent to breaking free from shackles, allowing one's strength to advance further.
Lin Yuan's physical strength was already far superior to that of a normal human. With the liquid from the Mysterious Gourd, it was dozens of times that of the original.
So high was the limit, that improving it became even more difficult, yet under the soak of the Eternal Spring's waters, it was slowly beginning to rise again.
"And life span..."
Lin Yuan's eyes narrowed slightly as he could feel his life span starting to extend.
Ten years.
A hundred years.
A thousand years.
Ten thousand years.
Each Evolver soaking in the Eternal Spring gains different amounts of lifespan, depending on how well they absorb and adapt to the spring water, but the minimum increase is fifty million years.
"Worthy of being a Twelve-Star cosmic Rare Treasure..."
A smile emerged on Lin Yuan's face; such a Rare Treasure that could increase the foundation and lifespan of every Evolver... No wonder Human Civilization grew so powerful in just over two million years.
The World Tree, although useful for many things and its fruits helping Evolvers to open up their Inner World ahead of schedule,
is not as valuable as the Eternal Spring.
After all, the World Tree itself can only be used by one Evolver, and its fruits merely aid Sixth Rank and Seventh Rank Evolvers to develop their Inner Worlds easily.
But the Eternal Spring, it significantly aids Evolvers of the Ninth and Tenth Rank.
"I wonder if this Eternal Spring, compared to that gourd of mine, which one has greater value?"
Lin Yuan thought to himself while soaking in the Eternal Spring.
Ever since obtaining the Mysterious Gourd, he had not been able to figure out its full capabilities and found no similar information in the archives of Human Civilization.
"Not even close..."
Lin Yuan's expression turned serious.
By 'not even close,' he meant that the Eternal Spring paled in comparison to the Mysterious Gourd.
The Eternal Spring can enhance the flesh's potential, foundation, as well as extend life by fifty million years.
But these... compared to the Against-Heaven's effect of the Mysterious Gourd, are truly insignificant.
The Eternal Spring could only enhance the foundation of the flesh, but the Mysterious Gourd could directly increase the upper limit of the flesh. Theoretically, after absorbing the seven types of liquids, the amplification of the flesh would reach twenty-three point three one times.
Moreover, the amplification here is the basic amplification, not just an increase in fixed strength.
As for longevity... indeed it has great use, but compared to the Inner World's base size skyrocketing by twenty-three point three one times, it's once again overwhelmingly surpassed.
The importance of the Inner World's size for an Eighth Layer wielder is self-evident, increasing by a hundred miles could potentially lead to an increase in strength, what more an increase of twenty-three point three one times?
As for reaching Ninth and Tenth Rank.
Although they begin to expand the depths of the Inner World — that is, opening up successive Spatial Layers.
But the original size of the Inner World remains the foundation.
An Inner World of one billion miles in radius, even if it has only ten Spatial Layers, it could easily crush a Ninth Layer wielder with thousands of Spatial Layers.
"I must protect my gourd..."
Lin Yuan's heart tightened.
If Eternal Spring is a Twelve-Star universe's Rare Treasure, then what level is the Mysterious Gourd that outperformed the Eternal Spring? Thirteen-Star?
Time slowly passed.
In the blink of an eye, half a year had gone by.
Any Evolver who had just entered the Ninth Rank could only soak in the Eternal Spring for a maximum of half a year.
Any longer, and the effects of the spring water would rapidly diminish, serving little purpose.
"It's about time."
Lin Yuan stood up and walked out of the white pool voluntarily.
"My body's potential has probably increased by about eighty percent, and as for life span? Seventy million years?"
Lin Yuan was in a good mood.
Although lifespan means little to him, with Against-Heaven's Understanding, Lin Yuan would never inadvertently breakthrough.
Still, no one would complain of having too much lifespan.
Upon emerging from the Eternal Spring, Lin Yuan was arranged to stay in a room.
An Evolver who had just entered Ninth Rank, apart from being allowed to soak in the Eternal Spring once, could also stay overnight atop Green Mountain, right next to the Eternal Spring.
In the room.
Lin Yuan rarely chose not to cultivate or contemplate the Dao.
Instead, he sat silently, sensing the mysterious aura flowing over his home planet.
This mysterious aura was vast and profound; even Lin Yuan, who could now play with stars, felt like he was returning to the embrace of his mother.
"I heard that the Tribal Guardian Weapon of our Human Civilization is on the home planet; this is why the home planet and the entire Central Star Domain have never been invaded by Different Species for so many years."
Lin Yuan silently thought to himself.
With that Tribal Guardian Weapon, even if a Supreme Being acted with others, they wouldn't stand a chance within the bound of the Central Star Domain.
They could only retreat with heavy losses.
This weapon is the absolute foundation of Human Civilization.
Any Peak Clan's stronghold has the ability to limit a Supreme Being.
Otherwise, if a Supreme Being could come and go as they pleased, could they still be called a Peak Clan?
"So comfortable..."
Lin Yuan closed his eyes and casually felt every little detail on the home planet.
Suddenly.
At a certain moment.
A faint, almost imperceptible call from the depths of the distant starry sky, traversing countless light-years, somehow connected with Lin Yuan in a mysterious way.
Only Lin Yuan could perceive this call; even the home planet of the Human Civilization Alliance, which harbored the Evolvers' stronghold, failed to capture it.
The Tribal Guardian Weapon, which monitored all changes on the home planet, also failed to sense anything.
The numerous powerful Evolvers on the home planet, Ninth, Tenth, and Eleventh Rank, none sensed anything peculiar.
Even the sense of the Supreme Beings, which constantly enveloped the home planet, still didn't notice anything.
Everything remained unchanged.
Only Lin Yuan.
Only Lin Yuan felt that faint yet unmistakably firm call.
"Who is it?"
Lin Yuan silently opened his eyes, gazing into the depths of the starry sky, towards the source of the call.
"Who is calling me?"
