Emperor Wu Shihuang's handwriting, do not go out of the Milky Way border

"Whether your information is received by beings from higher universes or captured by homeless wanderers, they can trace it back to our Hongmeng universe's coordinates! Once they have the coordinates, they can come knocking on our door at any time! We have absolutely no power to resist them!"

"In those advanced universes, nascent universes like our Hongmeng universe contain immense value. Once they discover it, they will ruthlessly plunder all the resources of our universe, and all of us will become fish on their chopping block, at their mercy!"

"They have no compassion or mercy whatsoever! To them, the primordial universe is nothing more than a wild rabbit. If you encounter a wild rabbit in the wild, would you feel guilty for killing it to eat?!"

The Ice Cold Supreme stared intently at Ying Zheng, his eyes filled with reproach: "This time, you have truly made a grave mistake!"

"Is it that serious?" Ying Zheng scratched his head somewhat awkwardly.

"Have you been living a life of ease for too long? Don't you even have this much sense of crisis?!" The Ice Cold Supreme looked at Ying Zheng in disbelief, his eyes full of confusion and incomprehension.

The atmosphere between the two instantly became somewhat heavy.

Then, the Ice Cold Supreme took a deep breath and looked at Ying Zheng, asking, "Have you received a reply to your message?"

"Yes," Ying Zheng answered instinctively.

Upon hearing this, the Ice Cold Venerable's expression instantly turned extremely ugly: "What... exactly are you thinking?!"

However, at that moment, Ying Zheng suddenly laughed: "Alright, I'm not joking with you anymore!"

"I did indeed make contact with the outside world through the Celestial Tower of the Universe, but not as you think. I contacted the Canglan Universe Alliance! I have already applied to join the Canglan Universe Alliance on behalf of the Hongmeng Universe as the supreme ruler of the Hongmeng Universe!"

"A four-star executive priest of the Alliance has approved my application and will soon come to our Hongmeng Universe to conduct an on-site inspection, confirm the situation of our Hongmeng Universe, and assess our civilization level."

Binghan Juezun stared wide-eyed at Ying Zheng in disbelief: "You...!" She opened her mouth, but for a moment she didn't know what to say.

"That's impossible." The next moment, the Ice Cold Supreme came back to his senses and stared intently at Ying Zheng.

"What's impossible about that?" Ying Zheng looked helplessly at the Ice Cold Supreme.

If he had known she would react this strongly, he wouldn't have joked with her.

"Leaving aside how you contacted the Canglan Universe Alliance, even if you did, given the level of civilization in our Hongmeng Universe, we haven't even experienced our first metamorphosis. Based on that alone, they would never allow the Hongmeng Universe to join the Canglan Universe Alliance!" said the Ice Cold Supreme.

"The prerequisite for joining the Canglan Universe Alliance is that this cosmic civilization must have undergone its first metamorphosis! In the understanding of cosmic civilizations, a cosmic civilization that has not undergone its first metamorphosis cannot even be called a true cosmic civilization, but can only be defined as a rudimentary civilization!"

"Only by undergoing the first transformation and passing the test of cosmic rebirth can a civilization be called a mature cosmic civilization and be qualified to join the Canglan Cosmic Alliance."

"Furthermore, even if a universe that has already undergone one transformation applies to join, they will at most send a two-star executive priest! How could they possibly send a high-ranking figure like a four-star executive priest for a universe that hasn't even undergone one transformation?!"

“A four-star executive priest is already considered a big shot within the Canglan Universe Alliance! Their power and realm are beyond our comprehension!” Ice Cold Supreme said solemnly.

"Oh dear, I'm telling the truth." Ying Zheng scratched his head helplessly. "Why would I lie to you?"

"Hmph, who knows you!" Ice Cold Venerable snorted coldly, but his tone had softened considerably.

"Were you scammed?! Did that person trick you by saying he was a four-star Executioner?!" Ice Cold Venerable asked after thinking for a moment.

"I don't think so," Ying Zheng said.

"What do you mean 'probably not'! Do you even know how serious this is?!" Binghan Juezun was furious.

Whether she is alone or with other people, her mood never fluctuates.

But once she was with Ying Zheng, she could never help but feel either joy or anger.

Despite her cultivation level being so high that she shouldn't easily experience emotional fluctuations, Ying Zheng always managed to prevent her from maintaining a state of supreme tranquility.

"Don't worry! Even if someone tries to deceive me, any ordinary thief who dares to come will never leave alive," Ying Zheng sighed.

"You!" The Ice-Cold Supreme laughed angrily. "Do you think that all experts outside the universe are like Herakdi of the Spirit God Universe, whom you can easily crush?"

"I can tell you very clearly that any expert who can survive outside the universe possesses power far beyond what Herakdi can match!"

"I know," Ying Zheng nodded.

"However, it has been quite a long time since I became the Primordial Emperor." Ying Zheng's words were full of meaning.

However, the Ice Cold Supreme seemed oblivious, and simply said, "It has only been less than four hundred million years since the destruction of the Spirit God Universe!"

"Yes, four hundred million years have passed. It's been a very long time," Ying Zheng remarked.

"Four hundred million years is a long time?" Ice Cold Supreme laughed.

"This primordial universe has existed for more than four hundred billion years, let alone those cosmic-level experts! Some of them have cultivated for far more than four trillion years!"

"So what?" Ying Zheng said helplessly. "You have to understand that the differences between people are huge."

"They've cultivated for four trillion years, and this is all they've achieved. As for my four hundred million years of cultivation... well, it's no use telling you this now. You'll understand when they arrive," Ying Zheng said casually.

"I just hope this time, nothing too serious will happen!" Binghan Juezun was filled with worry, his brows furrowed.

"I really want to strangle you right now," she said, glaring at Ying Zheng.

Ying Zheng: “…”

After some hesitation, Ice Cold Venerable still dragged Ying Zheng along to find Red Luo Immortal Venerable and the others.

When the Red Luo Immortal Venerable and the others heard the Ice Cold Venerable's story, they were all stunned!
“This…!” Immortal Venerable Hongluo subconsciously looked at Ying Zheng.

She wasn't the only one present; Great Power Saint Venerable and other Yuan Venerables from the Lingtai Star Domain were also there.

Their eyes all turned to Ying Zheng, awaiting his explanation.

“Fellow Daoist Ying Zheng has always acted with prudence and would not act recklessly. He must have his reasons for doing this,” said the Great Mighty Saint Venerable first. “Hmm.” Many other Supreme Beings present also nodded slightly in agreement.

"Don't worry, while I can't say I'm 100% certain, I still have an 80% chance of success," Ying Zheng said confidently.

"Moreover, once the certification is successful, our Hongmeng Universe will join the Canglan Universe Alliance, which is equivalent to becoming an official member of the Canglan Universe Alliance and receiving the protection of the Alliance! Any act of invasion against our Hongmeng Universe will be regarded as a provocation against the entire Canglan Universe Alliance! It will inevitably be met with a counterattack from the entire Alliance!"

"In this way, although we in the Hongmeng Universe cannot be said to be completely carefree from now on, ordinary people will no longer dare to bully us easily."

"Besides that, there is one more crucial benefit!"

Ying Zheng paused deliberately at this point, seemingly to attract everyone's attention, before continuing, "After joining the Canglan Universe Alliance, we can trade with other universes in the alliance, and we can also buy Illusionary Realm Spirit Pearls to enter the Canglan Illusionary Realm!"

As soon as Ying Zheng finished speaking, the Crimson Immortal Venerable and the others looked completely bewildered. They could understand what Ying Zheng had said before, but they had no idea what the last thing he mentioned was.

"Why don't you explain the Illusionary Spirit Orb and the Azure Illusionary Realm to everyone?" Ying Zheng gestured to the Ice Cold Supreme.

After Ying Zheng finished speaking, Binghan Juezun hesitated for a moment before finally saying, "The Canglan Illusionary Realm is a special spiritual world jointly created by the Canglan Universe and several other top-tier cosmic civilizations within the Canglan Universe."

"This special spiritual world is somewhat similar to the virtual world in the Divine Network, but the two are fundamentally different. Everything in the Divine Network is false, a manifestation of divine thought. The Canglan Illusionary Realm, however, is a real world created by the spirit."

"Everything in the Canglan Illusionary Realm is real. Moreover, everything inside is suppressed by the laws. For example, if we entered the Canglan Illusionary Realm and were suppressed by the world's rules there, the power we displayed would probably be less than that of an ordinary chicken."

"Not as good as an ordinary chicken?" Immortal Venerable Hongluo and the others were completely confused.

"Yes." Ice Cold Supreme nodded affirmatively.

"The world rules of the Canglan Illusionary Realm were created by the unfathomable power of those in the Canglan Universe. No one can defy the power of the Canglan Illusionary Realm's rules. Not even the most powerful experts can."

"Once everyone enters, their strength will be suppressed many times over. Generally speaking, even the most basic universe-level experts like the Great Creator God or the Primordial Emperor will only have the combat power of an ordinary person after entering the Canglan Illusionary Realm."

"As for us, we haven't even broken through to the level of the Primordial Emperor. If we go in, under the suppression of the world's rules, we probably won't even be able to beat a chicken."

As he spoke, the Ice Cold Venerable seemed to have thought of something interesting, and a smile appeared on his face.

“Back in my hometown, there was a very powerful being. He was killed by a pig in the Canglan Illusionary Realm.”

"Pfft!" "Pfft!" Many of the Supreme Beings present couldn't help but burst out laughing.

But after they laughed, they felt a chill of fear.

The Canglan Fantasy Realm is truly a terrifying place!

It's terrifying that a powerful being who originally possessed boundless divine power and could dominate the universe was ultimately gored to death by a pig!

"Moreover, if someone dies in the Canglan Illusionary Realm, then he is truly dead," Ice Cold Supreme suddenly added.

In that instant, all laughter ceased abruptly. A deathly silence fell over the entire celestial palace.

"Wait...wait a minute, Venerable Absolute, do you mean that powerful being is dead just like that?!" A Primordial Supreme from the Red Luo Dojo couldn't help but ask Venerable Absolute Absolute.

"Yes!" Ice Cold Supreme nodded.

"Hiss!!" At that moment, everyone gasped.

Those who had initially found it amusing could no longer laugh. They were filled with an indescribable fear.

"Stop scaring them!" Ying Zheng couldn't help but interject. He simply couldn't stand it anymore.

He asked Ice Cold Venerable to explain, not to let her scare people.

"I'm not making this up!" Ice Cold Venerable said seriously.

“You’re right, it’s all true. But you can’t just tell everyone like that,” Ying Zheng said helplessly.

"Never mind, never mind, I'll explain it myself," Ying Zheng sighed.

"Everyone, imagine this: once we go inside, our strength will indeed be suppressed countless times. We might not even be able to defeat a chicken. But precisely because of this, what if our strength increases within the Azure Illusion Realm?"

"It's so easy for an ordinary person to improve their strength, I'm sure everyone knows that."

“That’s right! We can go in to improve our strength and then come out! That way we can easily break through to a higher realm!” Ying Zheng said loudly.

As soon as Ying Zheng finished speaking, unlike when the Ice Cold Supreme had spoken, everyone's expressions instantly lit up with a burning light!
Since Ying Zheng became the Primordial Emperor, nearly four hundred million years have passed in the Hongmeng Universe. However, in these four hundred million years, apart from Ying Zheng, no one else has been able to break through the realm of Primordial Supreme and become the Primordial Emperor.

With Ying Zheng's pioneering efforts, they have already seen the new realm and path that lies beyond the Primordial Supreme.

However, being able to glimpse a new realm is one thing, but actually achieving a breakthrough is quite another.

The path from Quasi-Saint to Saint is fraught with an insurmountable chasm. Ordinary people must expend countless efforts and sacrifices to successfully cross it.

Advancing from the realm of a sage to the realm of a Great Dao Sage is even more difficult, like climbing a ladder to heaven.

As for attaining enlightenment and becoming a supreme being through the Great Dao, the difficulty is simply outrageous.

Now, the gap between breaking through from Hunyuan Supreme to Hunyuan Emperor is not just an insurmountable chasm, but as if it were a world separating the two.

Although they had glimpsed the dawn of a new realm, they knew nothing about how to break through it.

Both the Crimson Immortal Venerable and the Great Mighty Virtue Saint Venerable have reached the Great Perfection of the Primordial Supreme realm.

However, four hundred million years have passed in a flash, and they have not only failed to break through, but have not even gained the slightest understanding.

If this continues, they realize that, let alone 400 million years, even 4 billion or 40 billion years, they will probably still be trapped in this state and unable to extricate themselves!
Consider the universe of spirits and gods; from its very beginning to its final destruction, in such a long period of time, only four great creator gods were born! (End of Chapter)
