Chapter 2826 - 68: Complete Star River Middle Stage

Other reasons are simpler, that is, he originally needed a certain amount of time to stabilize his power.

Before long, the body of Adisa’s light and shadow appeared in the subspace interior.

The Giant Mosquito lay horizontally in the subspace depths, making it impossible to see its edge at a glance, resembling a massive mountain.

"Master, congratulations on your promotion in power."

Even though Adisa had already congratulated earlier, this time she still expressed immense joy in congratulating Jia Yan once again.

"Hmm, expected. Have they left already? How did the conversation go?"

"They have already left. Before you appeared, they hesitated a bit about agreeing to the conditions, but after you showed up, they agreed to everything almost instantly. Someone even offered to hand over all their game assets, though I didn’t accept."

"That’s fine. Their small game assets are not worth it for me to immerse myself completely."

Jia Yan nodded.

"Well then, Master, I shall take my leave. I will do my utmost to recharge the Adisa to face creatures like Domain Masters in the future."

"Go ahead."

After Adisa departed, Jia Yan stayed in the depths of the subspace.

"Star River Middle Stage... haha, actually I reached the Star River Middle Stage long ago; this promotion has truly been rather prolonged."

Jia Yan felt his now enormous Giant Mosquito form.

An immense figure over thirty kilometers in size, terrifying like a giant mountain.

If placed on the Moon, his giant feet might spread over a large area, and Earth people could see his figure from Earth.

This kind of terrifying giant creature, Jia Yan himself never imagined, evolved from just a single Mosquito from Earth.

"Very good, the sensation of power and the adaptability of my entire body have reached a peak. My slow mutation is not without benefit; at the very least, my body’s adaptation phase will be much shorter after this breakthrough."

Jia Yan took a long time to recover his body from the mutation, a process that lasted quite some time and included battles, giving him understanding and adaptability to this mutated body.

"Power... is much stronger than when my brainwave power first broke through to the Star River Middle Stage; of course, primarily stronger in the body. The brainwave power and the like are slightly stronger. Overall, my strength now is about half again as strong compared to when I was fighting with two Star River Middle Stage creatures and escaping from the Domain Master creature."

Jia Yan mused over his power. Though only half stronger, it was already very remarkable.

A half-strength increase could sometimes mean a leap to a great level.

After considering for a while, he believed that with his current strength, he could likely kill the two Star River Middle Stage creatures much faster in the battle back then.

And escaping from that Domain Master creature...

"Should be easier now; of course, there may not be much change since escaping from a Domain Master creature’s grasp was mainly due to Adisa’s contribution."

Jia Yan thought of the Domain Master creature and sighed.

Having reached the Star River Middle Stage, he was still somewhat baffled by the Domain Master creatures.

"Originally, I thought once reaching the Star River Middle Stage, I would only be one step away from Domain Master creatures, should understand them a bit, but unfortunately, I still cannot comprehend them. Could it be that only when my power is close to a Domain Master will I be able to glimpse the power of Domain Master creatures?"

Jia Yan truly lamented, originally thinking that reaching the Star River Middle Stage would put him not far from Domain Master creatures. Given his previous ability to fight across ranks, it should be no big deal to contend with weaker Domain Master creatures. But upon contemplation now, he helplessly found that the gap between him and Domain Master creatures is still substantial.

"That’s right. When reaching Galaxy Level, the stronger the level, the more dazzling the talents within, like Domain Master creatures. Almost every creature cannot be much weaker than Evolutionary Creatures, because the strongest individual among Evolutionary Creatures is only a Domain Master, which is not even as strong as the Insect Clan Queen at most, most like the Domain Master I escaped from last time. Thus, my talent advantage, which I have always believed in, is simply not an advantage anymore at the Star River Middle Stage or Domain Master Level and could even be seen as a joke by those with real talent..."

Having grasped reality, Jia Yan could only smile wryly.

How far he has come in a mere few decades, from initially thinking his talent was extraordinarily high to suddenly realizing his talent is somewhat lacking.

Of course, this is because he elevated so swiftly, rapidly reaching a level not attainable without genius, naturally slowly realizing his talent is lacking. If his level hadn’t increased, he might still be immersed in the notion that his talent is quite good, completely unaware that the real world hasn’t yet revealed its true face to him.

"Ha, to elevate myself to stronger levels, and to break the legend that Evolutionary Creatures can only be Domain Masters, I need to work hard."

Jia Yan felt his mission was more than simply reaching Domain Master; even though there’s still a significant gap between him and Domain Master creatures now, his aspirations are grand.

If Domain Master creatures are so astonishing, then what kind of scenery comprises the true galactic hegemony level after Domain Master—High-rank Galaxy Level?

And even beyond the High-rank Galaxy Level, the ’Peak of the Milky Way’ strong ones whose existence is uncertain, what kind of scenery would they create?

Thinking about this, Jia Yan felt an impulse in his heart to surge towards even more dreadful levels.

He must charge forward, charge until he is powerless to charge any further. Perhaps then, looking back over his life will bring a sense of satisfaction.

"Beyond the Peak of the Milky Way, is there an even more terrifying level? This I don’t know, and possibly no one in the entire Milky Way knows. There’s also a chance it’s a matter known by not a single creature in the Milky Way. If I am fortunate enough to find an opportunity to glimpse that mysterious level, I will certainly not give it up..."

Jia Yan pondered so much, yet still shook his head, bringing his focus back to the immediate matters.

Thinking of so many things is merely creating unnecessary trouble for oneself, as he hasn’t even reached Domain Master Level, let alone the unknown levels. What’s the use of imagining so much?

"You eat a meal one bite at a time, and you handle things step by step. Thinking too much offers no assistance to me."

Jia Yan smiled faintly.

Although he realized his talent might not be as formidable as imagined, he remained mysteriously confident in himself.

Perhaps because he hadn’t suffered any major setbacks throughout his life, or perhaps because he fundamentally doesn’t understand fear, it might be due to his character of not backing down until he hits the southern wall, affecting him. Overall, Jia Yan was filled with confidence in himself.

"The Star River Middle Stage has been fully entered, and the next goal..."

"Domain Master!"

Step by step, it should now be the Domain Master Level’s turn, right?

"Insect Clan Queen, finally, about to approach your level, aren’t I? But your talent is also very strong, maybe even surpassing mine, so let’s see if I catch up and surpass you, or if you advance to the High-rank Galaxy Level before me?"

"Of course, it’s also possible that one of us might die first in the Milky Way Central."

Jia Yan was aware that both he and the Insect Clan Queen could die.

In this starry sky, there is already a constant probability of strong ones falling, especially in the seemingly more chaotic Central Starfield of the Milky Way.

"Alright, now at this level, it’s time to seek out the Insect Clan Queen and the rest. At least at my current level, I cannot contend with Domain Masters, so I still need a temporary power to depend on. But with my promotion to the Star River Middle Stage and significant power enhancement, returning there, the Insect Clan Queen must grant me a higher status..."

Jia Yan thought deeply about many things, even considering returning to the Insect Clan Queen’s Energy Circle, and whether some friction might occur with the ’Black sheep’ who had subtly antagonized him.

Indeed, his mind had long departed from this game space!
