But specifically, they couldn't quite pinpoint exactly what had changed.
However, every Shen Yu was certain that this couldn't be an illusion.
Their current power level had completely surpassed ordinary forms of life; illusions were nearly impossible at this stage. More importantly, it wasn't just one or two of them who felt this way—all of the Shen Yu did.
Still, many Shen Yu had their own speculations.
"There are two possibilities," Shen Yu spoke up, "First, by witnessing the birth of a world, we've gained certain cognitive insights that inherently contain power. Second, because of our identities as Creators, we've received a shift in our status."
Both scenarios were possible.
Now, the collective Shen Yu's understanding of the Extraordinary was no longer as rudimentary as in the beginning.
They clearly understood that certain forms of cognition in themselves contained unique and immense power.
It was practically beyond the capacity of language to describe.
For example, the process of witnessing the birth of a world—much of the cognition gained from it was direct and unmistakably infused into their minds, but utterly indescribable.
Even the interstellar world Shen Yu felt the same.
It was as if this exceeded what ordinary intelligent life and conventional language could grasp.
Clearly, the power contained within such cognition was far from simple.
And the argument for status was also quite reasonable.
At the very least, from this moment on, they were no longer just users of Extraordinary Power—they could be creators!
No matter what, every Shen Yu was sure this decision was absolutely the right one!
They once again focused their gazes on this newborn little world.
At the moment, it was incomplete, highly unstable.
After all, it was just a newborn seed.
On one hand, it possessed infinite space, but in practice, the truly stable space wasn't large—barely a hundred kilometers in radius.
It wasn't even as vast as the previously created Plane Secret Realm.
However, by nature the two were completely different.
A Secret Realm, even a Plane Secret Realm, was essentially built atop an existing world structure—just an "add-on."
But this one, right before their eyes, was a wholly independent world.
Moreover, in this very moment, it was still naturally and continually expanding, with the amount of stable space ceaselessly growing.
Shen Yu pondered, then suddenly raised his hand.
The next instant, a swathe of Gray Mist descended—dividing the entire world into five parts!
Of course, only the space itself was being divided.
The other Shen Yu immediately understood Shen Yu's intention.
"Exactly, this is the way to do it." Martial Artist Shen Yu laughed, "Previously it was just a barren, desolate space. Now it's different—now it is the only place of thriving life within the Gray Mist Dead Zone!"
Evidently, this was a conceptual sleight of hand.
Because strictly speaking, this little world actually wasn't inside the Gray Mist Space itself.
In this moment, dividing it with the Gray Mist was no more than creating some large Gray Mist Space Gates.
Yet the feeling it gave was completely different.
It looked as though, by sheer Mighty Power, a thriving land had been cut out from an absolute wasteland where no living thing could survive!
One could only say, Shen Yu definitely knew how to build a showpiece project.
"I think I don't need to do any construction." Cultivator Shen Yu even said, "I'll just say I only recently acquired this land, so it's perfect to ask my master or someone else for help with the building."
"Envy." The others could only feel jealous about this.
They all had to build their own pieces of land themselves.
Still, it did provide considerable motivation.
After all, unlike a Plane, this land could even become the foundation for the development of their respective civilizations!
It would be the single most important piece of land!
But now that the land was built, another issue remained.
"This land counts as another world—bringing people inside still requires traveling through the Gray Mist Space, and it will still cost," Shen Yu emphasized, before changing tone, "But, if each of us builds Space Gates from our own worlds to here, we can use this as a transfer hub and dramatically reduce the cost of constructing Space Gates."
Exactly—that's the benefit this world offers for reducing transit expenses.
Previously, the Association had already established Space-Time Gates between the Main Body World and Martial Arts World, Main Body World and Interstellar World, Magic World and Martial Arts World—three world links in all.
Everything was chaotically interwoven.
But now, with this transfer hub, the resource cost of building Space-Time Gates would be fixed.
It would also allow for more investment.
In other words, the "gaps" occupied by the Gray Mist Space could be compressed even further.
Even if transfers needed an extra step, when you accounted for the savings on the number of Space-Time Gates built, in the long term, you could still save vast quantities of Gray Mist consumed on inter-world travel.
Not to mention, those like Cultivator Shen Yu had to fully commit.
Because the world he resided in was likely the one currently with the highest Power Level of Extraordinary Power.
Even Earth Immortal wasn't the limit.
And future demand for world travel would center on the strongest individuals.
"Building the Space Gates helps every world, so my proposal is: for the construction of Space Gates in the small world, each party covers sixty percent, the Association covers forty percent," Shen Yu said.
This proposal, frankly, meant that every Shen Yu could use up their own resources for building Space Gates without having to pay dues to the Association.
It's like a tax exemption for a special project.
After all, in the long run, the more invested in Space Gate construction, the more Gray Mist would be saved.
