Another objective of Cultivator Shen Yu was also achieved.
He rode the momentum and continued to push forward a series of measures.
For example, the urbanization of various regions.
The unified management of resource cultivation and extraction.
And most importantly, the cultivation of a new generation of cultivators.
Just as he had imagined at the beginning, in every corner, in overlooked fields, who knows how many exceptionally gifted people reside unnoticed.
Previously, the influence of the Immortal Court could only be limited to cultivators; most cultivators actually disliked accepting many disciples, especially seeing too many people from under heaven, especially those lowliest mortals, tread the path of cultivation.
But now, all it took was an order from the Immortal Court.
Cultivators across the world set out to various mortal realms to spread word of the Immortal Court.
Everything unfolds logically.
At the same time, Cultivator Shen Yu also set his sights on the cosmos.
He personally met with two prisoners.
The Desire True Immortal had now been thoroughly sealed of all power, revealing their true form—a man with the appearance of a woman.
Their posture was alluring; even without any spiritual energy, every movement could still captivate hearts and souls.
Of course, before Cultivator Shen Yu, that had little effect.
On the contrary, their gaze remained fixed upon Cultivator Shen Yu, as if seeking to understand just who he had lost to.
"I can't tell," the other Demonic Cultivator True Immortal sighed aloud. "I don't see any difference, yet I don't know how you managed it."
The other several Earth Immortals present all sneered inwardly.
The strength of the Lord lies with the backing of the Association.
Merely looking at the Lord—how could you see anything?
However, none of them spoke up.
It could be said that after this battle, Cultivator Shen Yu's personal prestige was now established as well.
Unlike the initial "Lord," whose veneration far surpassed reality, at this moment, Cultivator Shen Yu was the real deal.
Even someone as powerful as Taihe Earth Immortal, who controlled an Immortal Sect, now considered himself subordinate before Cultivator Shen Yu.
Every word and deed stayed meticulously within bounds.
At this moment, after evaluating these two Demonic Cultivator True Immortals, Cultivator Shen Yu voiced his question: "What is the situation within the cosmos?"
"Reporting to the Lord."
The two were still hoping for a chance at reincarnation and rebirth, so even as prisoners, they did not remain defiant.
Their words were quite respectful.
"Within the cosmos, the demon cultivators have formed the Demon Sect and launched a counterattack. The Orthodox Immortal Sects are retreating step by step. In just ten years, dozens of worlds have already been lost."
"Ten years?" The rest were all inwardly astonished.
The changes in the Heavenly Dao began only about a dozen years ago.
Yet the demon cultivators in the cosmos have already attacked for ten years?
One must realize, for powerhouses of this level, ten years is but the blink of an eye.
Even confirming Heavenly Dao changes takes almost more time than that.
There was only one possible explanation.
—Among the demon cultivators, someone already knew of the Heavenly Dao's change and prepared for it long ago!
They could even imagine more details.
For example, even before the change in the Heavenly Dao, they had already contacted some wavering individuals in the Orthodoxy; once the change was confirmed, those people immediately switched sides, and with a large-scale invasion, the demon cultivators caught the Orthodoxy completely off guard.
And with further questioning from Cultivator Shen Yu and those nearby, they surprisingly found that this was exactly the case.
The demon cultivators truly knew about the change in the Heavenly Dao long beforehand.
Indeed, the change in the Heavenly Dao was likely itself linked to the demon cultivators!
"This is not something we could possibly know," replied the two Demonic Cultivator True Immortals, quite straightforwardly. "True Immortals count for little within the cosmos; nowadays in the Demon Sect, only Profound Immortals can serve as generals of a region. We joined only because there were benefits to be had, and simply followed orders."
The extraordinary levels of this world are truly remarkable.
Existences like Earth Immortals can only dominate in ordinary-level worlds.
But within the cosmos, only True Immortals can be considered experts.
Profound Immortal is the real overlord of a region.
As for above Profound Immortal, according to intel gathered from the five Immortal Sects, that realm exists only in legend, with nothing definitively confirmed.
Each of the five Immortal Sects has only one or two Profound Immortal ancestors, but even that suffices to dominate a region within the cosmos.
If things are truly as these two Demonic Cultivator True Immortals say, then within the Demon Sect, there may be beings above Profound Immortal!
"A quintessential extraordinary world dominated by extraordinary power, indeed," thought Cultivator Shen Yu.
Every crisis, every change—most likely, in the end, can be traced to a single powerhouse.
After all, in such worlds, individual strength reigns supreme!
Yet, to influence the extraordinary rules of an entire world, can those above Profound Immortal really do it?
Cultivator Shen Yu sighed inwardly, but still held great resolve.
Possessing the Gray Mist Space, the extraordinary power system is not such a big deal.
However, after learning of the changes within the cosmos, some new ideas stirred within him.
He decisively left the interrogation chamber and convened an Association meeting.
The other four Shen Yu arrived in full.
After hearing the relevant intelligence shared by Cultivator Shen Yu, the other Shen Yus also sensed the severity of the situation.
"Very troublesome," interstellar world Shen Yu spoke, "Such a situation is far beyond our current capacity. The real problem is that we have stepped onto the stage, even becoming, to some degree, its very center."
Indeed, this is the hardest part.
This is utterly different from the world of interstellar world Shen Yu, and the original Shen Yu's world.
Though interstellar world Shen Yu's world is also vast, with an apocalyptic crisis that cannot be solved in the short term, interstellar civilization has not drawn much attention, or rather, what it displays is not enough to pique the interest of the entire interstellar universe.
Currently, the only one watching from the sidelines and launching probing attacks by various means is Blue Spirit Civilization.
Let alone the world of the original Shen Yu.
At the very least, there has been a long stretch without any new meteorite impacts.
But with Cultivator Shen Yu, things are completely different.
Even while still so weak, he is already enough to draw the attention of the entire Universal World.
Just being able to break through the change in the Heavenly Dao and let the Orthodoxy continue cultivating is plenty enough for the Demon Dao to dispatch Profound Immortal directly.
It's quite possible that right now, a Profound Immortal is already on the way.
Even if the Orthodoxy sends Profound Immortals as well, a war between both sides would suffice to ruin every arrangement Cultivator Shen Yu has put in place.
After all, to harvest more Gray Mist and truly develop an entire civilization, he cannot stay behind as merely a mascot.
"I need a relatively safe main base—a place that can temporarily allow me and the civilization I manage to escape or hide, at least for a time," said Cultivator Shen Yu, "That should be easier than direct confrontation with Profound Immortal, or those above Profound Immortal."
This was the idea Cultivator Shen Yu pondered.
It was indeed one possible approach.
But obviously, it would require a massive consumption of Gray Mist.
And, when it comes to selecting a plan, meticulous consideration is also required.
"The amount of Gray Mist you got this time is truly astonishing," Shen Yu commented, "It's equivalent to rescuing every person in Yellow One World in one go. The total Gray Mist gained is roughly 1,142.3 billion units."
This is undoubtedly an extremely shocking number.
Compared to the start, it's an exponential increase of unimaginable scale.
The greatest Gray Mist harvest in history.
But certainly justified.
The sheer scale of Yellow One World is right there.
Although there are only a hundred billion people, the per capita Gray Mist is about ten times that of ordinary mortals.
Moreover, the threat level of True Immortals far surpasses any previous crisis.
By comparison, the gods of the Magic World are nothing.
Such a harvest makes perfect sense.
