The Monarch Realm is the first hurdle for cultivators to reach the peak of their cultivation. Once one steps into the Monarch Realm, a cultivator's control and understanding of their own energy will reach another level, no longer limited to cultivation techniques and moves.
This is a breakthrough and evolution of a life form!
Ye Yun could clearly sense that his lifespan was endless, and he could also perceive an ethereal energy. Most importantly, in this desolate star field, Ye Yun felt another form of life!
"Who!"
Ye Yun roared, his divine sense instantly covering millions of kilometers of the entire star field. His figure followed the aura of that life form, appearing throughout the star field.
The flash span reached the extreme of the star field!
"Who is it, their aura is unfixed and elusive, I can't lock onto it even with my current divine sense! Could it be a god race?" Ye Yun muttered to himself. The joy of his sudden surge in strength was instantly diluted.
"Little fellow, go back... Your potential is unmatched, but in the vast universe, your strength can only barely be considered that of a strong individual."
"Protecting humanity is enough. But to lead humanity forward, you are still far from it. Work hard, young man... The hope of humanity rests on your shoulders..."
An ancient voice echoed in Ye Yun's mind, causing his hair to stand on end.
"Who! Cowardly creature hiding in the shadows, show yourself if you dare!" Ye Yun roared, shattering countless surrounding meteorites. However, the aura, under Ye Yun's immense divine sense, slowly faded and then disappeared. No matter how Ye Yun shouted, it did not reappear.
After venting his frustration for a while, Ye Yun quieted down when there was no response. Although he didn't know who the other party was, from their tone, it could be seen that they bore no hostility towards humanity or Blue Star.
Moreover, Ye Yun gained a general understanding of his own strength's position in the universe.
Ye Yun flickered and appeared in the dojo he had established. At this moment, the dojo was covered by a massive energy shield. This shield not only had defensive capabilities but also continuously emanated faint spiritual energy outwards.
"Spirit stones and immortal stones can be converted into spiritual energy under this formation to replenish the spiritual energy of the entire star field!" Ye Yun looked at his dojo with surprise. He distinctly remembered it not having such a function before.
Was it that guy just now?
Ye Yun walked into his residence, and then the entire dojo, like an interstellar warship, quickly flew towards Blue Star.
He still needed to quickly train his people, otherwise, he couldn't even play a game with peace of mind!
In just fifteen days, when the next cycle of the New Mortal Continent arrived, he would be able to cultivate the first batch of Dragon Palace members!
Once these hundreds of Dragon Palace members were established, he could then venture into the God Race star field, or even the Ninth Cosmic Zone, to explore.
"System prompt: Congratulations to the player for reaching the Monarch Realm in their real-world strength. The player's Lord God statue has automatically evolved into a Monarch statue. In one thousand hours, the system will randomly merge the Human Race star field from 'Heavenly Dao' with another alien race star field from the tenth cosmic zone!"
"System prompt: Congratulations to the player for reaching the Monarch Realm and entering the ranks of the strong in the Ten Cosmic Zones. In ten thousand hours, the real-world portal to the corresponding merged star field will open. Merging real worlds carries significant danger. Please lead the players of your own star field to strengthen themselves as soon as possible to avoid being devoured or exterminated by another race after the merge!"
...
As soon as Ye Yun entered the game, he was stunned by a barrage of game prompts!
Great Merge!
In a thousand hours, the game map would merge with a random alien race star field from their own cosmic zone?!
In ten thousand hours, the real-world domain gates between the two star fields would open, followed by the merging of the star fields?!
The game world was understandable, but how would the real world merge?
Ye Yun was utterly bewildered!
If he had known that breaking through his cultivation realm would lead to this, Ye Yun would never have broken through so easily. After all, the overall strength of the human race was too low!
Moreover, once the game world merged, there would be no need to wait ten thousand hours. The other races would definitely use the God Race star field as a passage to directly attack Blue Star.
But now, the arrow was on the string, and he had no choice but to shoot!
"Fengle City Announcement - City Lord's Decree: Strength has broken through the Lord God realm and reached Monarch. The Lord God statue has automatically evolved into a Monarch statue. Fengle City's area has tripled. Citizens of Fengle City will enjoy seven days of double experience. All monsters in Fengle City's wild areas, dungeons, and secret realms will have doubled drop rates."
Monarch Statue (Decree) - Players can obtain 100 to 500 attribute points by kneeling before it within a specific time. Members of the Monarch faction can obtain 500 to 1000 attribute points by kneeling.
As soon as the announcement was made, Fengle City erupted in an uproar. Players who had not yet joined Fengle City were filled with regret, but they were also helpless. The threshold for joining Fengle City was now too high.
The current citizen count of Fengle City had reached nearly four million. Apart from Dragon Palace members and reserves, a large portion were military and police units, and administrative units also accounted for a significant percentage. True solo players were less than a million.
However, before everyone could recover from the shock of this announcement, they were completely dumbfounded by the next one.
"Server-wide Announcement - Congratulations to the players in this star field for reaching the Monarch Realm. In a thousand hours, major main cities will open maps to alien players. Players from both races can engage in friendly exchanges and sparring, or mutually conquer."
This announcement was global. Players from Fengle City and elsewhere all received it.
"General Zhou, hasn't Xiao Ye returned yet?"
"Minister, five esteemed elders, the Palace Master is indeed not on the island right now. I don't know where he is."
On the top floor of the Dragon Palace building on Meili Island, Zhou Ningdong looked sternly at the few people on the video.
"Comrade Xiao Zhou, has Xiao Ye mentioned anything about alien races to you? After all, everyone in Heavenly Dao and the real world is discussing this now. You know, we have lost control of the internet." Old Song sat in his armchair, looking at Zhou Ningdong with a grave expression.
Just a few hours ago, these people had already sought him out once. The global anomalies and climate had caused immense damage in various regions, with strong winds, rain, tsunamis, and earthquakes. Yet, Meili Island and its surroundings remained calm, which was completely illogical.
Now, they were utterly terrified by the system prompts within Heavenly Dao and had immediately connected with the Dragon Palace, hoping to obtain firsthand information to prepare themselves.
"Elder Song, the Palace Master hasn't told me..."
"Yes, there are countless alien races in this cosmic world, and they are all incredibly powerful. Elder Song, Elder Xia, I imagine our external affairs department is already busy answering calls. Then let's all come to Meili Island. I will tell you about another civilized world!"
Zhou Ningdong's words were interrupted by a voice. Ye Yun suddenly appeared in the office. In his hand, a fireball the size of a basketball suddenly turned into hundreds of wisps of flames that shot up into the sky.
