"You mean your strength is tied to the beings and destiny of the space you were born in? And as your strength grows, it feeds back into your home space?"
"Are our Ten Directions Cosmoses established step by step like the Eleventh Cosmos?"
Ye Yun asked in disbelief.
"Of course. Otherwise, why would San and I go to such great lengths? To make the beings of the Ten Directions Cosmos stronger, we specifically used our endlessly accumulated resources to establish this real game."
"We practiced for tens of thousands of years for this game, and I didn't expect a bug like you, sir, to appear," the old Taoist said with a wry smile.
San was the name given by the Heavenly Dao of the Outer Heavens, while the old Taoist's name was 'Yi'. There was no one called 'Er' in the middle.
Logically, the old Taoist was born countless Emperor Yuan earlier than 'San', but 'San's' current achievements were far beyond his reach.
"A real world?! Then how do those players who were killed revive?" Ye Yun's aura surged instantly upon hearing this! He never expected this game to be a real world.
"Of course it's real. The foundation of this game is the consciousness of all players. After level thirty, besides the players' consciousness, it's their souls. Therefore, every death a player experiences in the game weakens their divine sense and soul strength by one thousandth in reality."
The old Taoist's explanation made Ye Yun understand, and also feel uncomfortable. If, according to the old Taoist, a player dies more than a thousand times, it means that player will either become a vegetable or an idiot.
Thus, the two walked slowly in the garden of the Harem, one asking, the other answering. Ding Yi was chasing Ye Ting everywhere.
"Sir, someone has arrived from the Upper Realm," the old Taoist suddenly said to Ye Yun, as if he had discovered something.
"Someone from the Upper Realm?" Ye Yun's heart stirred, and he immediately saw fourteen figures appear at the Ascension Gate.
Even Ye Yun could feel a trace of threat from the three leading figures.
Among the three, one young man wore a plain robe, and his entire being exuded an aura like a mire, the familiar Space-Time Law. Another was a woman, her white robes fluttering, her movements like graceful dancing, and her entire being manifested the Five Elements Great Dao to its extreme.
As for the third person, Ye Yun could not fathom him. Not a trace of aura leaked from him. However, Ye Yun felt that the threat he posed was even greater than all the others behind him combined.
"It's 'San' who has descended with two Imperial Mentors and eleven Divine Emperors from the Outer Heavens," the old Taoist seemed to have not expected these people to break the taboo and descend to the lower realm.
The fourteen people walked through the star domain, their immense might causing the space of the star domain to rumble and roar. In the blink of an eye, they arrived above the Nine Dragon Yang Void Palace where Ye Yun was.
"Lord 'San' of the Outer Heavens, accompanied by the Imperial Mentors of the Outer Heavens, has arrived. We request the newly appointed Imperial Mentor Ye Yun to come out and greet us!" a Divine Emperor shouted loudly at the Nine Dragon Yang Void Palace hidden in the void, but the contempt and mockery in his eyes were not concealed in the slightest.
The sound penetrated tens of millions of star domains, reaching all cultivators in the Ten Directions.
"Someone from the Upper Realm has arrived? Are they trying to show our Emperor a display of power!"
"I can feel the aura of our Ancestor! Hah, our Void Clan is about to rise! Ye Yun, how dare you enslave our Void Clan? With our Ancestor's return this time, let's see how your Human Race survives!"
"Ancestor? Our Ancestor has returned, and we no longer have to hide in this mountain ravine just to survive. Let's go to the Tenth Direction Cosmos, to the Human Race star domain, and find our Ancestor! I'll see if those guys dare to oppress us then!"
...
Various alien races and cultivators above the Saint level heard this voice that reached their minds and felt the aura of their Ancestors within it.
Whether it was a Divine Emperor or an Imperial Mentor, everyone hoped that their clan could dominate the lower realm. Only then would their clans in the Outer Heavens fare better, and the replenishment of fresh blood would be faster.
"It seems they are not here with good intentions?" Ye Yun glanced at the old Taoist beside him.
"I am not sure of the specific situation either," the old Taoist said sheepishly.
"Hmph, old Taoist, as the Heavenly Dao of our Ten Directions Cosmos, you let people come and go as they please. You are a very unqualified Heavenly Dao!" Ye Yun ignored the visitors from the Upper Realm, and instead waved his hand to protect the entire Nine Dragon Yang Void Palace, while simultaneously blocking the Divine Emperors' probes.
"Do you want to change?"
"Change? Change?" The old Taoist looked at Ye Yun, bewildered, not knowing what Ye Yun meant.
"Our Ten Directions Cosmos existed for longer than the beings in the Outer Heavens, and now the Outer Heavens have opened thirty-three heavens, while you have only opened the Eleventh Cosmos!"
"You are escorting our Tier 1 deities to them, aren't you just cultivating people for them? It's no wonder they are stronger than you." Ye Yun looked at the old Taoist as if he were an idiot; this guy was truly something else.
"But they are powerful," the old Taoist's eyes lit up upon hearing Ye Yun's words, then deflated and said.
"Leave it to me!" Ye Yun patted the old Taoist's shoulder with a radiant smile. These guys want to show me a display of power with their numbers? Then I'll make them break their teeth!
"Presumptuous!" Ye Yun roared. The Divine Emperor who had demanded Ye Yun come out to greet them hadn't even reacted before being sent flying by a blade of space. Without any fluctuation, a single strike left him on the verge of death on the dojo.
Then, Ye Yun, with the old Taoist, appeared before them.
"You want me to come out and greet you? Do you have that much face? Since you are here as guests, you should behave like guests!" Ye Yun's voice was very calm, while 'Yi' behind him trembled under the gazes of the important figures.
Just by aura, a Divine Emperor had lost his fighting strength, and looking at the injuries inflicted by the Space-Time Great Dao, he would likely need a long period of rest.
At this moment, the expressions of everyone present changed as they looked at Ye Yun. They had expected 'San' to bring them all down to the lower realm because he was wary of this newcomer's strength, but they had not expected this fellow's power to be so terrifying.
