"Then there's no problem. I shall certainly obey, Your Majesty!" Li Shimin's expression brightened.

Ordinary folk do not practice Martial Arts—do you think it's because they don't wish to?

That's not it; the true reasons are resources and aptitude!

To cultivate Martial Arts requires the consumption of resources.

Even the most common person, once they begin Martial Arts cultivation, the first thing is that their food intake drastically increases.

What's more, the worse one's aptitude, the less efficiently they can use resources.

If every citizen under Heaven were to practice cultivation, the resources consumed could support a power capable of ruling the world!

Even the Imperial Court can only sift out the most gifted children for focused training.

And Li Shimin did not doubt Shen Yu's words.

He had just witnessed, in some worlds, vast stretches of Spirit Fields with his own eyes.

"Second," Shen Yu continued, "gather all the sick and those who may fall ill together; we have a way to alleviate their illness."

"Yes, understood!" Li Shimin answered.

"Third, assemble the legions and prepare yourselves—I need you to intimidate the other alien races. They too are human; with catastrophe upon us, I must assimilate them quickly."

"Fourth, establish defensive cities..."

Shen Yu listed six or seven different directives in one breath.

Every single one required the Emperor of the Great Tang to swiftly carry them out, using the authority of the Imperial Court.

And moreover, in a way comprehensible to the people of this world.

The name 'White Jade City' would play its part in precisely this context.

After all, Shen Yu couldn't possibly take every person to another world. Even if ordinary people did go, they wouldn't easily comprehend; it was better to enact all policies in ways the people of this era could understand, to save the world.

Li Shimin agreed to everything.

"That's all. Afterwards—unless you encounter something insurmountable—I will not personally come; naturally, someone will communicate with you." Shen Yu finished his last words, and his figure simply vanished.

Li Shimin, together with Empress Zhangsun, once again knelt on the ground.

"We respectfully bid farewell to Advisor Shen."

Until a moment later, the two maids, who never understood a thing that had happened from start to finish, suddenly noticed that the Emperor and Empress were kneeling, and broke the silence with cries of terror.

Li Shimin stood, waved his hand, and dismissed the maids directly.

He looked to Empress Zhangsun, and at last, a trace of bewilderment rose in his expression.

Don't judge his earlier reaction—it seemed as if he'd fully accepted everything.

But that was merely an act of forced adaptation.

Now, calming down and recalling all he'd just experienced and learned, he felt dazed.

As though he'd just awoken from an incredible dream.

Yet, if he were alone, perhaps he really would chalk it up to a dream or illusion.

But here were two people.

They gazed at each other. Each could see the shock reflected in the other's heart.

"Your Majesty," Empress Zhangsun reminded, "you ought to record in detail everything Advisor Shen just said."

"Yes, yes!" Li Shimin was startled as if from a dream, hurried to the desk, "Guanyin, prepare ink for me!"

Only now did he begin to feel reality set in, clearly understanding what he must do next.

So, on the following day at court, the assembly stared at the Emperor in horror.

As if they couldn't believe their own ears.

Last night, an Immortal descended, taking His Majesty and the Empress to other worlds, to witness the apocalypse?

"I know this may sound unbelievable, but it is nothing if not true," Li Shimin said in a deep voice, "besides, I have already established contact with White Jade City."

He produced something resembling a bracelet.

This was left directly on the desk by Shen Yu after he departed yesterday.

Although it appeared to be an interstellar civilization's personal terminal, in fact, it was a refined personal terminal Magical Treasure.

Just by grasping it, its usage would appear directly in one's mind.

Li Shimin, relying on this, had already established contact last night with a certain human civilization official responsible for this world.

And chatted through the night.

Now, Li Shimin placed this Magical Treasure on his hand before the whole assembly of officials.

The sound rolled and amplified.

"I request White Jade City's Immortal Ship to descend!"

With his power, this proclamation reached every corner of the Imperial Palace.

As soon as he finished speaking, the sky above the great hall was suddenly graced by an enormous spaceship!

Indeed, it was a vessel of human civilization.

Of course, purchased from interstellar civilizations.

Standardised world-saving spaceship.

Upon such a ship, all kinds of functions are integrated—attack, defense, research, transport, production—applicable to most doomsday worlds.

You could say it is humanity's initial base for venturing into parallel worlds to rescue civilizations.

Of course, a variety of disguises are employed.

This particular disguise truly made it like an Immortal Ship, even accompanied by ethereal celestial music.

Anyone who saw it would believe this was truly a vessel of Immortals, rather than a demon from beyond the stars.

Sometimes, appearance alone defines the first impression, and first impressions can reduce many troubles.

It must be said: as the number of rescued parallel worlds increased, Human Civilization steadily built up more and more experience.

In this aspect, no other Shen Yu can compare.

And at this moment, having assured smooth communication, Shen Yu did not immediately leave this world.

If this world were merely "ordinary," then after all was done, he truly could depart.

But Shen Yu had not forgotten the trace of high-quality Extraordinary Power hidden behind the ordinary Primordial Energy of this world.

Lately, this has been Shen Yu's main focus.

He even called upon Martial Artist Shen Yu to help.

Though all Shen Yus inherit various Skills from one another, each still has their own familiar types of Extraordinary Power.

Martial Artist Shen Yu is especially versed in Primordial Energy.

And now, he had made a discovery.

Shen Yu, Martial Artist Shen Yu, along with several other experts, stood before a canyon.

This was a natural canyon, and in all other parallel worlds, nothing like it had ever appeared.

Incredibly deep.

Its shape bizarre.

The experts conducted preliminary studies, and reached a rather astonishing conclusion.

"This canyon wasn't formed by tectonic movement, but by some high-quality, high-hardness object, falling from the sky at a certain angle, and smashing a canyon straight into the earth!"

That conclusion was indeed shocking.

Naturally, it couldn't be something like a meteorite.

If it were an ordinary meteorite, the moment it struck would tear it apart, dispersing the energy across a much wider area.

Therefore, wherever a meteorite lands, it's basically a circular or elliptical crater.

The larger the meteorite, the greater the crater.

It would never form a canyon like this.

Such an outcome requires precise shape, size, force, and more.

Clearly, this was not formed from anything naturally occurring.

"I am certain that the trace of high-quality Primordial Energy comes from within here," Martial Artist Shen Yu affirmed, "This is the origin!"

That was why they'd come here.

Such a phenomenon had never occurred in other worlds.

This was a whole new discovery.

Its significance was vast.

"Can we estimate when this canyon formed?" Shen Yu asked the experts.

"Approximately thirty thousand to one hundred thousand years ago," the experts quickly replied, "Give us some time for more detailed study, and we can get a more precise date."

Many aspects of the Extraordinary World are affected, resulting in varied circumstances.

Including geology.

Still, it's just a matter of time before an exact conclusion can be drawn.
