Chapter 325: Endless Exploitation?
In the vast and mysterious void, the starship flew silently like a pale blue star, crossing thousands of Star Domains in an instant.
Inside the starship, the discussion in the hot spring liquid was still ongoing.
The words of Immortal Venerable Qing Yao completely confirmed Qin Muling's long-held speculation.
Extreme Void Starry Sky is not the only world. Countless worlds of various sizes have evolved in the chaotic void, including the so-called Upper Realm, which is not much larger than the Extreme Void Starry Sky in terms of size.
It is only because Extreme Void Starry Sky was born earlier and has experienced more calamities that it is now in ruins and clearly inferior in all aspects compared to the Upper Realm.
As for the Illusory Mist Secret Realm, it is a fragment of the heavenly realm that fell from the sky, coincidentally landing near the Extreme Void Starry Sky. Therefore, under the control of the high-level Heavenly Human Race, limited communication can take place between the two sides.
"...The world itself also grows, right?"
Qin Muling leaned against the embrace of the stunning beauty behind him and asked softly.
Immortal Venerable Qing Yao nodded slightly, "Of course, just like the Extreme Void Starry Sky, it is constantly absorbing various spiritual inspirations from the chaotic void that envelops the world, replenishing and strengthening itself, while repairing the injuries caused by the calamities. The same goes for other worlds. This is an ability they have had since their birth."
"Sister, are you saying that the world itself is alive?"
"Yes, but they are not like intelligent beings with complete autonomy. Most of the time, they are in a state of confusion and ignorance, with slow reactions to various external stimuli."
"I see."
Qin Muling understood in his heart. This is somewhat similar to a super-sized plant person. The behavior of absorbing Spirit Inspiring Dao Rhyme from the chaotic void to nourish and repair itself after calamities is only an instinctive reaction, not intentional.
No wonder there are signs of recovery in the overall environment of the Extreme Void Starry Sky now, with increasingly abundant spiritual energy. It is simply because the world has absorbed enough energy from the chaotic void, and the injuries to the world's body have reached a certain degree of recovery, which is bound to happen.
After pondering for a moment, Qin Muling said, "It seems that the gap between the Extreme Void Starry Sky and the Upper Realm is much larger than I previously thought, even though both worlds belonged to the same level when they were born."
Immortal Venerable Qing Yao smiled and said, "You understand it well. Since its birth, the Extreme Void Starry Sky has faced various calamities at regular intervals, causing serious damage to the world itself. The Upper Realm is much better in this regard, so now it is flourishing in luck and all aspects are thriving."
It's like two countries with similar size and resources, one is in a peaceful and stable environment, developing rapidly, while the other is plagued by natural disasters and wars. The government is exhausted and unable to focus on construction and self-development.
Several years later, the vast disparity between the two countries can be imagined, completely different on two levels.
The current size of the Upper Realm is more than thirty times larger than the Extreme Void Starry Sky, and it is still growing.
In the eyes of Immortal Venerable Qing Yao, the accumulation of heritage and endowment in the Upper Realm has reached a critical threshold. If it continues to develop step by step, it may complete the leap and sublimation of the world level in the next million years, transforming into a more powerful space-time world.
On the other hand, the Extreme Void Starry Sky has been struggling on the edge of survival and destruction. The vast and boundless continents have been shattered into countless fragments in countless calamities. Even if it is now recovering, it is far from comparable to the Upper Realm.
"So, when Senior Sister mentioned last time that the Ascended powerhouses will gradually return, even those big shots in the Upper Realm may come to the Extreme Void Starry Sky to compete for the source of luck in this realm and promote the Integrated Union Unified Harmony between the two realms. Will this trigger another bloody battle?" Qin Muling pondered and asked. Those big shots are not good people, and once they start fighting recklessly in the Extreme Void Starry Sky, the damage to the world itself will be unimaginable.
It is uncertain whether the Extreme Void Starry Sky, which has just begun to recover its vitality, will suffer further destruction in the catastrophe and fall into a more miserable state than before.
Immortal Venerable Qing Yao does not hide this possibility: "The Integrated Union of the two realms is inevitable. Since those big shots in the Upper Realm at the pinnacle level have already decided, this matter cannot be changed. As for the bloody battle, it is definitely difficult to avoid, right?"
"In other words, they can't wait any longer and urgently want to improve the power capacity of this world by swallowing other worlds in the Integrated Union, in order to pave the way for their own path to enlightenment and sainthood."
"So, the Extreme Void Starry Sky is just the first target of their attempt. After this step is completed, there will definitely be more small and large worlds in the chaotic void that will be devastated and devoured by the Upper Realm one by one, becoming nourishment for its growth and transformation, right?"
Qin Muling sighed. It is said that Saints are ruthless and regard everything in the world as mere dogs. Those big shots are not even Saints yet, but they have already started to use extreme methods.
But in this regard, high-level cultivators are all the same. Just look at the representatives of the Supreme Daoist forces in the Extreme Void Starry Sky, and you will know that no one should blame anyone.
"The fate of the Extreme Void Starry Sky was originally destined, but now with your appearance, the development and evolution of many things may not go as they wish!" Immortal Venerable Qing Yao looked at the beautiful young man in front of her with a smile and said softly, "Although the two worlds will still be Integrated Union, it is hard to say who will be the dominant one in the new world after the Integrated Union Unified Harmony! If you are strong enough at that time, perhaps you can change the fate of the entire world with your own strength?"
Everything in the world has its own destiny, and the world itself is no exception.
The luck of the Upper Realm is now far beyond that of the Extreme Void Starry Sky by thousands of times. Under normal circumstances, the Extreme Void Starry Sky can only be consumed and digested by it, and it is completely powerless to resist.
However, now with Qin Muling's incarnation of the Innate Hongmeng Good Fortune Azure Lotus, the Extreme Void Starry Sky may still have hope for a comeback. Although it does not have autonomous consciousness, its instinct for survival will still drive it to make choices that are most beneficial to itself.
"... About 70% of the luck and fortune on you is brought by yourself, and the other 30% is the favor and attention of the Extreme Void Starry Sky," Immortal Venerable Qing Yao said, "As your cultivation increases, your luck will become more and more terrifying, and the Extreme Void Starry Sky will pay more attention to you and invest more in you. The premise is that you cannot harm or betray the fundamental interests of the world itself, and you must always stay in this world, contribute to this world, and most importantly, help the world resist external enemies."
The position of Innate Hongmeng Good Fortune Azure Lotus is extremely high, equivalent to a Great World itself. Although Qin Muling is currently weak, in the eyes of the Extreme Void Starry Sky, he is considered to be of the same kind as himself. I protect him and help him grow, and in return, he will repay me when he becomes powerful in the future. This is a mutually beneficial arrangement.
In theory, based on the Innate Hongmeng Good Fortune Azure Lotus, it is possible to evolve and create a grand and vibrant vast space-time world, and it would be the most apex level of such a world. Of course, this process would be extremely long, perhaps even longer than can be calculated by quantity.
A melodious voice, as gentle as a flowing stream and as delicate as shattered jade, sounded with a faint dignity: "If those big figures in the upper realm were to learn of your true identity and origin, they might consider capturing you and sacrificing you to the upper realm. This would allow the upper realm to complete its transcendence and transform into a more powerful space-time world ahead of schedule."
Qin Muling's expression faltered as he turned to look at the stunning beauty in his embrace. Although she is the three corpses incarnation of Immortal Venerable Qing Yao, her perspective on the matter seems to be different.
Immortal Venerable Qing Yao pondered for a moment and said, "The possibility of this happening is unlikely. If the position of the upper realm is inferior to that of the Innate Hongmeng Good Fortune Azure Lotus, not only would it not be able to devour and refine Muling, but Muling would instead take control and directly devour and replace it, becoming the will of the upper realm."
"However, the risks involved are too great and completely uncontrollable. Since there have been no similar examples to refer to in the past, I do not advocate for you, Junior Brother, to attempt it."
"I would never consider such a choice."
Qin Muling said without hesitation. That kind of incarnation as the supreme heavenly dao, immortal and eternal, would inevitably lose the joys and sorrows, the seven emotions and six desires of a normal sentient being, becoming like a walking corpse or a cold and emotionless machine.
To directly become the supreme ruler of a vast space-time world? It sounds tempting, but in reality, it is not that simple, and the price to be paid may be unimaginable.
Not to mention anything else, just the numerous beautiful and diverse companions and senior sisters, Qin Muling would never be able to easily let go of them.
Unless his mind goes haywire, Qin Muling would never want to become that kind of existence.
"I knew you would say that, Junior Brother."
The stunning beauty smiled, her snow-white and smooth jade hand slowly moved down, gently grasping the handle and caressing it lightly. "It will take some time to reach our destination. How about practicing with Senior Sister and sharing some Spirit Inspiring Dao Rhymes? After all, your recovery ability is strong enough and it won't hinder your cultivation progress."
"Sister, please stop teasing," Qin Muling reluctantly refused. "Let's talk about the important matters first. There are still many things I don't understand, and I was just about to ask Senior Sister for guidance!"
Even if they were just playing around without any real consequences, Qin Muling would not be able to resist her repeated temptations, especially considering the huge difference in their cultivation levels.
Being constantly squeezed by someone who is close to the level of a Saint Supreme is definitely not a fun thing.
"Aren't we discussing important matters right now?" The stunning beauty smiled softly, and her actions finally paused for the time being, but her smooth and delicate body still held onto him without any intention of letting go.
Qin Muling took a deep breath and asked, "How many important figures are there in the Upper Realm? I mean those who hold the power of the world."
Immortal Venerable Qing Yao across from her replied, "Not too many. The Grand Palace Master of Divine Phoenix Palace counts as one, and the one from Genesis Star Palace as well. There are also Dao Tian, Buddha Land, Yao Court, Demon Ancestor, Witch Temple... all of them have existences of the same level. I'm not sure of the exact number, but it is said that there are several old monsters who have disappeared for billions of years. I have never seen them, and perhaps even the Grand Palace Master has never seen them..."
These high-ranking figures have completely severed their three corpses and even achieved the Unified Harmony of the Three Corpses. They are only a step away from the Supreme Primordial Saint realm, possessing unimaginable divine abilities. With a single thought, they can change the heavens and earth and recreate the universe.
Of course, although it seems like just a step away, in reality, it is a world of difference. Those high-ranking figures, the ones who have been in this realm for the longest time, may have been stuck at this level for tens of thousands of yuanhui, unable to make any progress!
Immortal Venerable Qing Yao is also considered one of the important figures at this level, but there is still a certain gap between her and those old monsters. Unless her cultivation can advance further and achieve the Unified Harmony of the Three Corpses, she can sit on an equal footing with them.
"...Under normal circumstances, achieving the Unified Harmony of the Three Corpses is almost impossible," Immortal Venerable Qing Yao explained, "When I ascended, those important figures in the Upper Realm who could make decisions had already held power for billions of years. Even now, those at the top of the pyramid are still the same people, with no change in their positions! Even at my level, there are very few new faces added. This shows how difficult the path of cultivation is."
Qin Muling nodded and said, "In theory, that's true, but with me here, Sister, you should be able to achieve your wish soon, right?"
With her own luck assisting, this matter is not as difficult as it seems. At least in the Upper Realm, those important figures cannot possibly have an existence like the Innate Primordial Spirit Root, not to mention similar treasures.
"If we're talking about Innate creatures, there are still some that can be found in the Upper Realm," Immortal Venerable Qing Yao seemed to understand his thoughts and explained, "But special existences like you are absolutely unique! Even those who are slightly close are impossible to find!"
"So, Junior Brother, you are truly one of a kind!"
Among the superpowers in the Upper Realm, the ancient scrolls in the secret libraries are vast, and there is no lack of records about the Innate Primordial Spirit Root. Although most of them belong to legends from ancient times, it is now difficult to find actual objects.
However, there are many different types of Innate Primordial Spirit Roots, each possessing different powers and positions. For example, the Innate Hongmeng Good Fortune Azure Lotus is the most apex level, whether in the chaotic void or in the various time and space worlds, there is no doubt about it.
That's why Immortal Venerable Qing Yao is full of confidence in her path of cultivation. As long as she can take care of Junior Brother well in the future, what does she need to worry about? She can truly lie back and win!
Qin Muling thought for a moment and asked, "The Grand Palace Master of Divine Phoenix Palace seems to have a good relationship with you, Sister?"
Immortal Venerable Qing Yao smiled and said, "Indeed, we have a good relationship, like a mentor and a close friend! But when it comes to seizing opportunities for cultivation, she will not hesitate."
In other words, Immortal Venerable Qing Yao would never let go of someone with extraordinary opportunities like Qin Muling. At most, she would give her some benefits based on their past relationship after she achieves sainthood.
