This group of people is incredibly powerful; all several thousand of them are at the Divine Power Realm, and more than thirty have power levels close to Earth Immortal, yet not a single one has set foot on the battlefield ahead.

They are just cultivating, and cultivating some more.

Clearly, they're on our side—sent here to guard against the Black Pattern Clan causing too much shock to Human Civilization.

"What a headache."

Shen Yu glanced around, and his brows furrowed slightly.

It really is a hassle.

The doomsday crisis of this world, compared to the entire global situation, is just too insignificant.

Human Civilization isn't like Interstellar Civilization, temporarily tucked away in a corner and going unnoticed.

Just based on what we know now, there are more than six alien races directly connected to us.

This includes both allies and enemies.

Humans are the weakest.

This also means that if there are any major changes in Human Civilization within a short time, or if the existence of the Association is exposed to the public, it will swiftly attract a huge amount of attention from the alien races.

And even if we quietly search for powerful forces and entities within Human Civilization, it's hard not to be exposed.

A civilization that can't guarantee its own safety, is highly dependent on the protection or even stationed troops of other civilizations—what privacy can it possibly have?

"It's just too difficult." The Immortal Cultivation Civilization also sighed. "Doom only targets Human Civilization itself; you can't use this aspect to gain help from other species."

The situation in this world is even harder than in his own.

After all, he can easily recruit orthodox experts or power-holders who don't want their civilization to perish.

As long as you don't want to die or see your world destroyed, you have no choice but to stand with me.

But this High Martial World isn't like that.

The destruction of Human Civilization—what's that got to do with those alien races?

Even within Human Civilization, there will definitely be people who'd rather defect to the aliens, even change their species, than fight side by side against doomsday destiny.

Both internal and external problems are incredibly nasty!

"We can't be hasty, at least not early on; we can't rashly break the current situation." Shen Yu rapidly thought through things in his mind. "That means the Association must stay hidden for now, at least until we have enough power to control all of Human Civilization."

"There's another point." interstellar world Shen Yu, who'd been investigating some things, looked up and said, "In this world, martial arts inheritance is public knowledge."

His words instantly drew everyone's attention.

"Except for the Original Cultivation Techniques, all Martial Arts moves are free and public, and there are even instructional videos." interstellar world Shen Yu's tone lifted as he displayed his personal terminal, "I've linked to the Goddess of Hope and hacked into this world's internet—I've found a ton of martial arts knowledge. Even their highest-level techniques are comparable to True Immortal level—of course, they call it the Immortal Realm."

Martial Artist Shen Yu's eyes lit up.

Though the martial arts here are somewhat different from their own world, they're mostly very similar!

Right now, even Martial Artist Shen Yu has only pushed martial arts cultivation to the True Master Realm.

What can you do, he's the poorest Shen Yu of them all, with pitifully little Gray Mist.

And martial arts implementation in other worlds is progressing slowly—even with the endless AI optimization of the Interstellar Civilization, there's no urgent demand for more advanced Martial Arts Realms for now.

But now, can we just grab them for free?

"Let me see." Martial Artist Shen Yu opened his own personal terminal and started searching for this world's martial arts.

Even just a quick look, his eyes immediately sparkled.

"Silk Body Technique, that's what High-Level Martial Artist Shen Yu is training now. Looks simple, but it's basically the same as our Basic Martial Arts Technique—both very powerful Foundation Establishment Techniques. It can pair with nearly any Advanced Martial Arts Technique. We can adapt it into our own Basic Martial Arts Technique." He scrolled further, voice growing more excited, "These high-level martial arts inheritances are top quality too! At least to my eyes!"

Shen Yu was browsing too.

He himself has True Master Level martial arts realms.

And he can see even more now.

Most of these martial arts inheritances and techniques probably came from alien races.

Some of them are obvious.

Even that so-called strongest technique, which can directly reach the 'Immortal Realm', is obviously a Six-armed Race technique.

Human cultivators probably won't be very compatible.

"Maybe we should start with the cultivation techniques," Shen Yu suddenly said. "For Human Civilization, modifying these techniques to suit humans would be extremely hard, but for us, having these as a base means the Gray Mist cost drops significantly...I have an idea. I'll go back and discuss it with High-Level Martial Artist Shen Yu and see what he thinks."

"Funny you say that—I have an idea too." interstellar world Shen Yu laughed, "And I bet our ideas are seriously close."

"Of course." Shen Yu laughed as well.

No matter how dire things get, once you have a plan and take the first step, everything afterward gets easier.

The many Shen Yus quickly returned to the Gray Mist Space.

Not long after, High-Level Martial Artist Shen Yu, back home, rejoined them as well.

"How did it go?" He asked immediately, with a hint of expectation.

High-Level Martial Artist Shen Yu knew very well that although saving his own world was mainly his job, these companions, in terms of ability and experience, were all stronger than him.

And so was their familiarity with Gray Mist.

Given that, it's only right to rely on them and ask for help.

"The situation in your world is pretty dire..." Shen Yu briefly relayed today's observations and judgments before saying, "We think you shouldn't publicly take a stand from the very start. You should start small, recruiting those humans who truly side with Human Civilization, gradually gain control of the whole civilization, unite your own people first, then consider how to deal with external threats."

"Start small, huh?" High-Level Martial Artist Shen Yu frowned slightly, but quickly relaxed.

He'd been pondering all day too.

The Gray Mist Space and the other Shen Yus had given him big support and strength.

Not to mention the Gray Mist—just pure power.

To date, Human Civilization hasn't produced a Martial Arts Master at the Immortal Realm.

So once he digests and assimilates the power from all the other Shen Yus, he'll instantly become the strongest person in Human Civilization!

So, High-Level Martial Artist Shen Yu did consider stepping straight into the spotlight, presenting himself before the current rulers and exposing the Association to seize the initiative.

But Shen Yu's words were spot on.

The current elites leading Human Civilization might not be trustworthy.

And those aliens, even the supposedly allied ones, are even less to be trusted!

The Association and its existence must, above all, remain secret.

"I get it." High-Level Martial Artist Shen Yu nodded a bit, but then frowned again. "If that's the case, keeping it secret just got a lot harder."

"Not necessarily." Shen Yu smiled, "You're new here; you don't know our edge yet."

"Our edge...Gray Mist?" High-Level Martial Artist Shen Yu's eyes lit up slightly.

If we use Gray Mist to guarantee secrecy, it should work—it's just a matter of the cost.

"Our advantage isn't just Gray Mist, but also having different power systems." Shen Yu didn't beat around the bush, "Just the technology alone—Interstellar Civilization completely crushes yours. Plus, we can use Magic to create unique contractual abilities. Combine those two, and it's not hard at all to form a mysterious, undetectable Human Self-help Organization. And when needed, we can pull the Association in too. I trust that, when faced with the All Heavens World, most people will make the right choice."
