Yan Fei's memory was astonishing. He had once seen footage from the satellite surveillance of the Ape Tribe Library showing the cultivator survivors who appeared on Earth, and he remembered vividly how these cultivators looked. When he saw these cultivators in the void, he immediately recognized them as those who chose to leave Earth back then.
Eighty thousand years had passed, and their numbers had decreased by more than half, leaving only eighteen. Yet compared to when they just left Earth, these individuals appeared much younger, as if time had reversed for them. In addition to looking younger, their strength had also enhanced significantly since they left Earth.
The cultivators of the Cultivation Civilization possessed formidable individual strength, yet they could not escape the natural laws of aging, illness, and death. When these cultivators escaped from the Cosmic Human Space Fortress Prison, they were already decrepit and on the verge of dying from old age. Hence, the cultivators at that time split into two factions: one had lost hope and wished to live out their days peacefully on Earth, while the other was unwilling to surrender and wanted to search the universe for opportunities to extend their lifespan.
The cultivators who stayed on Earth had all died of old age. Yan Fei initially thought that the departed cultivators had likely all perished as well. Even if they hadn't, they must have turned decrepit and significantly weakened. This was why he previously listed these cultivators as the greatest source of threat, yet he did not lose his fighting spirit. Little did he know that when they finally appeared, they were not only younger but had also substantially enhanced their strength. It was evident that those cultivators who left Earth had found great opportunities in the universe...
Yan Fei had obtained fragmented memories from cosmic human souls, which included judgments of strength and level division of the Cultivation Civilization. With just one glance, Yan Fei realized that the strength of these eighteen cultivators had reached a very high level. Although they were still a short distance from the peak of the Cultivation Civilization, they already ranked as superstars within it, with each capable of single-handedly confronting the most powerful fleet of cosmic humans.
If Yan Fei's universe was in a cosmic bubble, then his Dreamland Cave World was a small bubble attached to this cosmic bubble. Outside the cosmic bubble was the boundless void, where no matter existed. The only presence was the gray-white currents, also known as the Chaotic Qi.
This Chaotic Qi could not be absorbed and was terrifying with its powerful corrosive abilities. Even for the top powerhouses of the Cultivation Civilization, dealing with Chaotic Qi up close would be very troublesome. Not to mention the technology weapons of other civilizations, which faced the danger of being disintegrated by the Chaotic Qi once they entered the endless void. Therefore, no matter what cosmic civilization, even if they had the ability to traverse universe barriers, they wouldn't casually enter the cosmic void, as it was not only devoid of resources but also extremely dangerous.
The Dreamland Cave World was also situated in the void, constantly facing the onslaught of Chaotic Qi. Its ability to withstand this Chaotic Qi was entirely due to its attachment to the cosmic bubble, where most of the encroachments were transferred to the cosmic bubble, leaving minimal harm to itself. Nevertheless, the Dreamland Cave World still had to expend massive amounts of energy to combat the force of chaos, leading to consistent energy consumption. Once the Dreamland Cave World depleted its energy, it would quickly collapse under the invasion of Chaotic Qi.
These eighteen cultivators were extremely powerful, nearing the highest level achievable by the Cultivation Civilization. However, even so, they didn't dare to expose their bodies freely in the void, choosing instead to summon their magical artifacts and use the energy within these artifacts to shield themselves. Once the energy in the artifacts was depleted, they could only return to the cosmic bubble, not daring to linger here too long.
At this moment, the cultivators stood in the void above the space crystal wall of the Dreamland Cave World, frowning as they looked down at the space crystal wall. They had just combined their efforts for a tentative attack on the space crystal wall, but the result was disappointing, as the abundant energy of the Dreamland Cave World's space crystal wall far exceeded their imagination. They were acutely aware that as long as the Dreamland Cave World had energy reserves, it would automatically activate its defense array to block all external attacks. As long as the space crystal wall wasn't breached, they couldn't enter the Dreamland Cave World.
Yan Fei had previously anticipated a great upheaval on Earth, yet at the time, he always thought it would relate to the departing cultivators. However, he didn't expect that those coming to the solar system wouldn't be cultivators but rather humanity's nemesis, the Ape Tribe. Yan Fei was unaware of what transpired outside in the solar system, but he could imagine that the Ape Tribe, having suffered consecutive losses to him, would not spare the Earth humans, leading to heavy casualties.
Yan Fei had transferred his entire wealth to the Dreamland Cave World, avoiding the Ape Tribe flagship outside, thus attaining temporary safety. But just as Yan Fei breathed a sigh of relief, the cultivators he had been closely monitoring abruptly appeared—and not just anywhere, but directly at the site of the Dreamland Cave World's true form, leaving Yan Fei with no choice to hide the Dreamland Cave World.
