Ye Yun felt his life was like a spinning top, repeating the same tasks every day.
On the Xin Fan Continent, Ye Yun stood atop the city walls of Yun Tian City, surveying the entire land.
A new cycle had passed, and the harvest this time far exceeded Ye Yun's imagination. Elated, Ye Yun spent ten million spirit stones to open teleportation arrays for two sub-cities.
Ye Yun gazed at the number of spirit stones in his inventory. Even after accumulating millions of divine stones, he was still thrilled. After all, obtaining divine stones was far more difficult than spirit stones. A total of over 153.3 million spirit stones—what did that even mean? Ye Yun himself was bewildered. This was with several sub-cities not yet at full capacity. Thus, when the next cycle arrived, Ye Yun did not immediately unleash the devastating "Fire Refining the World" skill. Instead, he waited for a few days, spending some spirit stones to place dozens of advertisements across the entire continent.
This was equivalent to threatening every player on the continent, again and again. The reason was simple: if you didn't join Ye Yun's sub-cities, you deserved to be killed by him!
Yun Tian City had now been promoted to a two-star city, capable of accommodating 192,000 players. The sub-cities had reached twenty-two, and under the influence of "United Hearts," all their territories had also achieved two-star city status.
The vast majority of players on the entire Xin Fan Continent had been sent into the Sea of Suffering by Ye Yun, with some even sent twice, thrice, or more. Although they wished to kill Ye Yun, circumstances were beyond their control, and they had no choice but to submit to him.
In three days, the player count in each sub-city surged daily. Ye Yun's targets for exploitation suddenly exceeded one million players!
Afterward, Ye Yun no longer waited. He directly unleashed a skill that scorched the entire Xin Fan Continent. However, the number of players killed this time was more than halved. Fortunately, the number of monstrous beasts was substantial.
Twenty-two two-star cities—this was once an unimaginable feat. The most powerful previously was only three-star. Before, everyone formed groups based on their race, or even like Huang Mu and others, a small team formed a force, and then they competed with each other. Even if their territories developed better, they were either destroyed by other player forces or ravaged by monstrous beasts.
With a large sum of funds in hand, Ye Yun's pressure had significantly lessened.
"Yue Di, what is the realm of that old fellow Yue Xia in the real world?" Ye Yun did not turn around, still gazing at the clouds beyond the city walls.
"Replying to Master, our ancestor's strength is at the Ji position, and he is one of the three ancestors of our current seventh universe." Yue Di paused for a moment upon hearing Ye Yun's question before answering.
Ji position? It seemed his own strength wasn't too bad. That old fellow Yue Xia had cultivated for who knows how many years, and with the power manifestation within the 'Heavenly Dao,' he was only one realm stronger than Ye Yun. And Ye Yun could reach this realm through manifestation in mere minutes, but he dared not.
His breakthrough to the Monarch realm had already caused the game and reality star domains to merge. Who knew what changes would occur if he broke through to the Ji position. He certainly didn't want to be the only person left on Planet Blue.
"And you?"
As the head of the Moon Shadow clan on the Xin Fan Continent, Yue Di was entrusted with great expectations and his strength was undoubtedly not low.
"Me? Before following Master, I was in the Great Sage realm. Now I am in the Lord God realm."
Ye Yun nodded at Yue Di's calm expression, inwardly grumbling. As expected of people from a higher plane, their strength was incredible!
Ye Yun instantly felt his Monarch realm strength was no longer as impressive. If Yue Di was like this, what about even higher universes? Would they truly be born at the Great Sage realm?
"Yue Di, go find Lu Jie for me and tell him I have something to discuss."
Ye Yun did not mention the matter of star domain fusion to Yue Di, because even if he did, it would be useless. They had no way of entering the domain gate of the ninth universe, and thus could not directly reach the star domain Ye Yun was in.
Moreover, a universe contains nearly a thousand star domains, and with their speed, they could not arrive in a short time.
"Boss, you were looking for me?" Yue Di soon brought Lu Jie over and then busied himself with his own affairs.
"How much do you know about the various racial star domains in our tenth universe?" Ye Yun, ignoring the reverence in Lu Jie's eyes, looked at him calmly and asked.
"Boss, regarding this, my knowledge is limited to ancient texts."
The tenth universe had over 10,800 species, distributed across 590 star domains. Unlike Planet Blue, other star domains had at least three or more species. Among them, the God Race star domain had the most, with over a thousand species!
However, the most terrifying was the Human Race star domain! Within the entire star domain, only the Human Race resided, and each of them was powerful, serving as the leader of the entire tenth universe. The God Race star domain was second.
Unfortunately, a million years ago, the Void Gate opened wide, and creatures from the ninth universe descended upon the Human Race star domain, launching a colonization war against the tenth universe.
As the helmsman of the tenth universe, the Human Race suffered heavy casualties in that anti-colonization war. They were forced to issue the Ten Thousand Races Decree, demanding all races in the tenth universe to participate in the war.
However, when all the organized armies of the races were passing through the God Race star domain, they were met with joint obstruction from powerful beings of the God Race, who deliberately delayed the allied forces for ten days before allowing them to pass.
In the early stages of that battle, the God Race largely observed from the sidelines. Only when the main forces of the allied army and the invaders had significantly depleted their strength did they emerge to eliminate the weakened invaders.
From then on, the God Race became a major power within this universe, gathering geniuses and experts from all races into the God Race star domain to serve the God Race. Only then did they secure the God Race's promise to guard the Void Gate.
"Heh, after the Void Gate is the Human Race star domain, and after the Human Race star domain is their God Race star domain. How much arrogance does it take to do such a thing?"
Ye Yun chuckled coldly.
"Tell me, who is the strongest being in our universe?"
"The strongest? The Ancestor of the God Race, whose strength reached the peak of the Lord God ten thousand years ago. He has likely broken through by now." Hearing Ye Yun's question, Lu Jie was startled.
Breaking through the peak of the Lord God, reaching the Monarch position? Is this the strongest being in this world?
