After that battle with the Black Star, the entire universe once again faced a great eruption.

Countless people pursued immortality and sought the Dao.

"I shall teach the path to the world, open this way, fend off the dark, decaying claws from beyond the cosmos, with a wave of my hand shall sever them... and open the Immortal Sect for the misguided people of this land!"

Black Star also stepped up efforts, beginning to utilize the establishment of many Spirit Fields on planets and the Immortal Sect for breeding Spirit Beasts, drawing these forces in to join; more and more people boarded the pirate ship.

Striving to become the Creator God of this civilization of the Immortal Dao, creating more species, systems, and items to enrich this world and paint it with one's own colors.

At the same time, the entire universe tightened. Many official forces issued declarations.

"Do not open space, do not let Outer Gods in!"

"Introducing Outer Gods as collaborators will result in immediate execution!"

"Anyone who dares to open space will be executed immediately!"

"Request to establish spatially stable core bases at intervals on planets in various regions, to not give certain existences the opportunity to break space!"

Encouraged by those with ulterior motives, many people stepped out, parading in public.

Of course, some opposed: "Wait! Who exactly is the collaborator here?! Isn't what you're doing treason? The Council is our highest ruler, the entity that established this Artificial Universe!"

But this one clear-headed person was quickly silenced and left unable to fend for themselves by others.

"Bastard! How is this treasonous?"

"Indeed! Our small place is impoverished, with no resources, trapped here for countless years, what would others want with us?"

"They have been helping us all along, spreading more advanced systems and advanced experiences to us!"

"If they truly wanted something from us, it might just be to recruit us into the Black Star Sect, using this place as a subordinate small city, continuously providing disciples for them to begin cultivation!"

"Exactly!"

...

Everyone believed in this logic

How enormous is the Black Star Immortal Sect before our eyes? Surely the super civilization of the Main Universe only sees this remote wasteland as one of the places to recruit disciples.

In the end, a new Immortal Saint Sect protocol was announced to the universe:

[Refuse the Hundred People's Council, invade the cosmos! The virtual computational constants of the entire Artificial Universe are very fixed, their mad occupation of planets is actually an occupation of computing resources, possibly occupying 10% of our resource space with a single move, with a few more, severely compressing our living space!]

[The entire Artificial Universe does not need Divine Uppers! Ten of them would consume the whole world!]

With the announcement issued, everyone became increasingly excited.

"Exactly, allowing them in to consume resources!"

"Indeed, we still need to cultivate!"

...

On the other side.

Magina had just returned, glanced at the information on the internet, and nearly vomited blood.

"These damn things!!" Magina cursed, infuriated, smashing things around, "Have they forgotten what they're even called?"

Those damn fools completely ignored one fact:

Why aren't we sending out Divine Uppers before? Why send them out now?

It's because there are foreign invaders!

This is akin to a time of war, naturally compressing civilian supply, daily living necessities, to manufacture more tanks.

Yet the civilians say: "Manufacturing more tanks will waste our survival resources, we do not allow the government to manufacture an army to protect its own country!"

It's simply an incredibly anti-intellectual argument.

Truly laughable.

Magina was utterly exasperated by these thoroughly faithful folks.

This is beyond brainlessness.

The little girl beside her, eating sweets without lifting her head, said:

"Why get angry with a bunch of trash? Just ants from the Lower City District, one batch dies after another, even if they are incited and drawn in, it fundamentally changes nothing, it is we in the Upper City District who always do the fighting anyway."

"These guys will repopulate the entire Lower City District in a few hundred years."

"I'm just angry, I'm about to shut down the whole Artificial Universe!" Magina cursed, "I want to kill these bastards, I hardly want to help them, and they end up biting me."

The source code of the entire Artificial Universe is fixed, all their actions must align with the Real Universe.

They have no authority to change it.

If worse comes to worst, the only option is to flip the table.

But destroying the Artificial Universe means incurring too great a loss, as 99% of the civilization's accumulated foundations are here.

Equivalent to humans on Earth using nuclear weapons to destroy their own planet.

"Don't rush, Magina, you're being too irrational."

The tall man patted her on the shoulder, "Firstly, we have to consider, what might the opponent's base have? Even if the entire Artificial Universe is shut down, can we really win?"

Magina frowned.

The old man's Divine Upper mecha uses 99% of its power to run this Artificial Universe, if it's shut down, the old man's mecha will awaken.

Awaken and then what?

Seems like there's nothing after that.

"Understood? The old man doesn't care about shutting down the Artificial Universe, because he is immortal." The little girl snorted coldly, "The dead ones are just us three immortal ghosts depending on the Artificial Universe, shutting it down would be the moment of our death."

"So, the old man doesn't care about winning or losing, it's us three who must win this battle within the Artificial Universe."

Magina suddenly realized, her skin covered in goosebumps.

Indeed...

Divine Uppers are almost undying existences.

The old man simply doesn't fear what enemy comes.

In fact, in a certain sense, this is also a test by the old man.

A test against the potential Divine Upper in the opponent's civilization...

In the old man's eyes, the entire civilization is ultimately just one person, which is himself, slumbering within this ruin, the so-called era's sentient beings are just like pets.

He is akin to a Giant God within the ruins, crawling with ants, forever just a Giant God.

Two Divine Upper Giant Gods, probing each other's depth using the younger generation.

Of course...

If that Divine Upper on the other side truly exists.

But the probability of existing is very high.

Being beaten out of the universe by just one True God is simply absurd, the foundation of this civilization is solid and terrifying.

At the same time, no one knows to what extent the old man has advanced his Realm over the years.

Indescribably deep and absolutely not an ordinary Divine Upper level.

The only thing the old man lacks are the materials.

"If their Divine Upper emerges, just showing their head, the old man would inevitably chase after them like a mad dog, biting." Magina immediately realized, a shiver running through her heart.

Wishing eagerly for the opponent to show up.

The man said: "Confidence is essential, even in the Super Weak Period, as long as he approaches with materials, he believes he can chew the opponent to death."

"Therefore, if we lose now, the only ones dying are us." The little girl pursed her lips, saying: "Shut down the Artificial Universe, and we die, it's as simple as that."
