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

The supreme beings of the Crimson Luo Immortal Realm all looked at Ying Zheng with the eyes of someone looking at a monster, their eyes filled with awe.

"What is a Four-Star Divine Official?" Immortal Venerable Crimson Luo asked Immortal Venerable Ice Cold.

"Beyond the universe, there are also spheres of influence, known as the cosmic sphere. This cosmic sphere is defined by the sphere of influence of the highest level nine cosmic civilization."

"The universe we inhabit is called the Canglan Universe Sphere because the earliest and oldest Level 9 civilization within it is the Canglan Universe Civilization. Besides this, there are three other Level 9 civilizations, but they are all vassals of the Canglan Universe Civilization. It is they who established the order of the entire Canglan Universe Sphere!"

"Executive priests are officials within the Cosmic Alliance. They are composed of experts from various universes within the Alliance and are also divided into nine levels: one-star executive priests, two-star executive priests, and so on up to nine-star executive priests!"

“In my homeland, some powerful figures joined the Alliance and became its executive priests. The highest among them was a four-star executive priest! And that person in my homeland is also one of the strongest experts in the entire universe.”

As Ice Cold Venerable spoke, she seemed to realize that this explanation might be difficult for the Venerables to understand, so she thought for a moment and then explained, "The rank of an Executive Priest is related to his personal strength and contribution."

"From the perspective of strength, the Great Creator God and the Primordial Emperor are equivalent to just stepping into the cosmic level, or, in the common terminology of the Cosmic Alliance, the first level of the cosmic level. Because the cultivation paths of each cosmic civilization may be different, and the names of the realms may also be different, this common standard exists."

"After the first level of the cosmic level is the second level of the cosmic level. In terms of strength, a second level cosmic level expert can easily crush hundreds or thousands of first level cosmic level beings."

When Ice Cold Venerable said this, all the Venerables couldn't help but gasp. Then someone interjected, "Isn't that equivalent to a difference of a major realm!"

The same thing happened when all the deities joined forces to fight the Great Creator God.

Countless supreme beings besieged Helakdi, but failed to defeat him. Instead, he killed hundreds of supreme beings.

"Yes." The Ice Cold Supreme remained silent.

"Generally speaking, only experts at the second level of the cosmic level are qualified to become executive priests. As for four-star executive priests, those who can reach this level are all from advanced eternal cosmic civilizations, or rulers and overlords from universes that have undergone three or four transformations!"

"The so-called eternal universe civilization refers to a universe that, after undergoing five transformations, will fully mature and become an eternal universe, never to decay or perish again. Generally speaking, the universe level of an eternal universe civilization is assessed as at least a level six universe civilization!"

When Ice Cold Supreme said this, all the Supremes present fell completely silent.

They just stared blankly at Ying Zheng, their expressions filled with awe and doubt!

They simply couldn't comprehend how Ying Zheng had cultivated to this level in such a short time.

“The Spirit God Universe…” Immortal Venerable Hongluo suddenly revealed a self-deprecating smile, “Actually, even if we hadn’t been in such a hurry back then, the Spirit God Universe would still have been doomed to perish in the end.”

As soon as she finished speaking, all the venerable ones nodded with wry smiles.

With that freak Qin Shi Huang around, the Spirit God Universe is utterly insignificant!
With Ying Zheng's current strength, he could probably destroy the Spirit God Universe with a single breath.

Ying Zheng was well aware of the thoughts of the various lords, but he simply smiled helplessly.

Actually, things are not that simple.

It was precisely because he defeated the Spirit God Universe that he expanded the Divine Network to the entire Spirit Platform Starfield and the entire Spirit Realm, which is why he was able to achieve such a rapid breakthrough in his cultivation in just four hundred million years!

If the Spirit God Universe were not destroyed, and he had been trapped within the Primordial Chaos Array, how could he have cultivated so quickly?!

His cultivation speed was entirely based on the divine network that covered the entire Origin Realm.

This is like this: each worker can create 100,000 in wealth. They accumulate that 100,000 in savings each year. They would need to save for ten years without eating or drinking to become a millionaire.

If each of the 10 billion people contributes 1,000 yuan, that would amount to 10 trillion yuan!

The number of cultivators within the Origin Realm far exceeds one hundred billion; it's many times greater!
When ordinary people cultivate, their energy conversion rate is actually quite low due to various factors, and they also have to consider problems such as enlightenment and breaking through realms. In fact, what affects the speed of cultivation is often not insufficient energy, but rather the bottleneck in realm.

However, Ying Zheng almost never encountered these bottlenecks. As long as the system unlocked the corresponding realm and Ying Zheng had enough breakthrough points, he could break through immediately!

"Although your strength is now beyond my comprehension, I still hope you will not use the Illusionary Realm Spirit Pearl," the Ice Cold Supreme advised Ying Zheng.

Unfortunately, Ying Zheng simply shook his head.

"I've made up my mind, you don't need to try to persuade me anymore."

"Moreover, my intention in using the Illusionary Realm Spirit Pearl is not for my own sake, but to enhance the overall strength of the Primordial Universe."

As he spoke, Ying Zheng looked at the Red Luo Immortal Venerable and the others.

At this moment, His Holiness Yamantaka smiled slightly, "To know the truth in the morning is worth dying for in the evening. I am willing to be the first to try."

After saying that, he extended his hand to Ying Zheng.

Ying Zheng laughed and scolded, "You wish!"

“I can let you try first, but one Illusionary Realm Spirit Pearl definitely won’t be enough. I’ll have to find a way to get a few more, and then we can all go in together. Once we’re in the Azure Illusionary Realm, I’ll protect you, so it’ll be safer,” Ying Zheng said.

"You'd better not be too careless," Ice Cold Venerable said with concern.

"Although you are very strong now, the Canglan Illusionary Realm is full of powerful beings, sometimes even level nine cosmic beings appear! Once you encounter someone even stronger..."

"Nothing ventured, nothing gained." Ying Zheng reached out and interrupted the Ice Cold Venerable.

He knew that Binghan Juezun was worried about him, but he was aware of the situation.

"Our Hongmeng Universe has joined the Canglan Universe Alliance. I would like to ask everyone to make a trip to the various realms and explain the situation to the fellow Daoists in each realm. After some time, once I have resolved the remaining issues with the Illusionary Realm Spirit Pearls, I will invite a few more fellow Daoists to enter the Canglan Illusionary Realm together."

“After we go in, we’ll find a way to build our own power base there, and then gradually let more people in,” Ying Zheng said.

"Alright." All the venerable ones nodded.

After leaving the Crimson Luo Dojo, Ying Zheng and Ice Cold Supreme returned to the Shenshui Great Domain.

"What do you plan to do with the remaining Illusionary Realm Spirit Orbs?" Ice Cold Supreme asked Ying Zheng.

"Let's find a few people to buy a few on credit first," Ying Zheng said.

"On credit?" The Ice Cold Supreme was taken aback.

But she was clever and quickly realized what was going on: "Are you connected with interdimensional merchants?"

"Haha, you guessed it." Ying Zheng chuckled.

"Hmph! So, you've been secretly in contact with the outer universe all along!" Ice Cold Venerable said somewhat angrily. As she spoke, a hint of worry appeared on her face.

Although this worry was fleeting, Ying Zheng still noticed it. He hesitated for a moment, then said seriously, "Don't worry, I love the Hongmeng Universe just like you. Everything I do is for the Hongmeng Universe, and I would never harm it."

Faced with Ying Zheng's words, the Ice Cold Supreme finally nodded.

After returning to the Ice Cold Immortal Palace, Ying Zheng no longer concealed the truth from Ice Cold Supreme. He took out his own Universe Celestial Tower and placed it in the Immortal Palace.

Then, with a thought, he activated the device. A beam of light rose, revealing a figure in mid-air above the celestial palace.

The figure sat atop a boulder, surrounded by raging flames. The flames blazed fiercely, distorting the very fabric of space. Under the inferno, galaxies spun and shattered.

This is clearly a universe collapsing and crumbling, heading towards destruction. Beyond this space, the faint outline of a furnace can be seen.

That is a true cosmic furnace, an apocalyptic catastrophe capable of destroying a universe, like a cosmic millstone.

"My God, how did you end up in a place like this again?" Ying Zheng couldn't help but say in the Frozen Immortal Palace.

"Oh my, who is it? It's Brother Ye! I've run into a bit of a problem here. I need to take care of it first, and we'll chat later!" After saying that, the person's video feed cut off.

"Is this the interdimensional merchant you contacted?" Binghan Juezun couldn't help but ask Ying Zheng.

"Yes, it's him." Ying Zheng nodded.

"Although this person has a somewhat eccentric personality, he is a decent person," Ying Zheng said.

"You need to be careful. Most of the interdimensional merchants have unknown origins and use strange methods. They are not easy to deal with. Don't be careless," Ice Cold Venerable warned.

"I know," Ying Zheng nodded.

About three months later, Ying Zheng, who had been in seclusion in the Ice Palace, opened his eyes.

He took out his Space-Based Sky Tower again, and then, as light flowed, a scene appeared. Unlike last time, this time the background of the scene was on the Space-Based Star Shuttle.

In the scene, a figure wrapped in a long robe beckons to Ying Zheng, "Brother Ye, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."

"It wasn't a long wait, only three months," Ying Zheng said casually. "How's it going on your end?"

"Hehe, during the final calamity of the Cyathea Universe, there were plenty of people trying to pick up bargains. But then an ancient saint from the very beginning of the universe emerged and blasted the cosmic furnace apart. His strength is probably close to level seven! Countless people who went to join the fun died! You didn't see that scene! That old man was frantically chasing down anyone who infiltrated, killing them one by one—it was terrifying! Luckily, I ran fast!" the man said gleefully.

"Impressive!" Ying Zheng gave a thumbs up.

"Hahaha! That's why I said, Brother Ye, what are you doing staying in this small place? Why not come out and become a dimensional merchant with me! Let's dominate the Canglan Universe, wouldn't that be great!"

"No, no, I have family and friends, my whole family is here. I can't bear to leave them," Ying Zheng said with a smile.

"Ah, what a pity," the man sighed, seemingly genuinely regretful. "I'm just missing a helper."

"By the way, Brother Ye, what do you want to buy from me this time?" the man asked Ying Zheng.

"I'd like to buy a few Illusionary Spirit Orbs from you, brother," Ying Zheng said bluntly.

"Illusionary Spirit Pearls? A piece of cake. How many do you want?" the man said casually.

"Let's start with ten," Ying Zheng said after a moment's thought.

“Alright, ten Illusionary Realm Spirit Orbs. I’ll calculate each one at forty Azure Points, ten for a total of four hundred, plus a ten percent teleportation fee. That makes a total of four hundred and forty Azure Points,” the person in the image said.

Canglan Points are the official currency of the Canglan Universe, backed by the credibility of the Canglan Universe!
“No problem. But I’ll have to owe you the money for now,” Ying Zheng said.

"It's no big deal." The man nodded.

"With your abilities, Brother Ye, why confine yourself to this small place? The Canglan Universe is so vast; why not go out and explore? Besides, there are other universes beyond the Canglan Universe."

"Let's not consider it for now," Ying Zheng said with a smile.

“Alright, everyone has their own ambitions. You keep the Space-Based Tower running, and I’ll transfer the stuff to you,” the person in the video said.

The Celestial Tower of the Cosmic Domain can teleport items across the universe, but it consumes space crystals. These items are rare in the universe, wandering in the void beyond the cosmos, or only being born when the universe is destroyed, making them extremely valuable.

The teleportation fee mentioned by the interdimensional merchants comes from this.

When the spiritual universe was destroyed, many treasures were born.

Unfortunately, Ying Zheng was unaware of this at the time and didn't take action to retrieve the treasures. As a result, those treasures all drifted away with the dark currents in the void.

Beyond the universe lies nothingness. Nothingness is the absence of everything—no energy, no matter, just a blank space.

To survive in such a place, one must possess at least cosmic-level power. Otherwise, once one leaves the universe and loses the support of the original cosmic order, the concept of life will vanish and be assimilated into nothingness.

Reaching the cosmic level means possessing a cosmic, egalitarian order, and being able to survive briefly in nothingness.

Even cosmic-level beings consume energy. Once their energy is depleted, they wither and die. This applies to even the strongest beings.

This is precisely why nothingness is unsuitable for life; no one, no living being, can survive there. Similarly, even the most primitive universe is of immense value!
Every universe is born from the explosion of a singularity in nothingness; it is a miracle born from nothingness.

The Dark Tide is a special order and rule within the void, capable of annihilating all non-existent forces.

If nothingness equals zero, and there is nothing at all, then the universe, living beings, and matter exist. And the undercurrent is the force of non-existence.

No one can utilize the Dark Tide; it is an invisible force that arose with the birth of the universe and exists in opposition to the universe itself.

As the saying goes, yin and yang are mutually generative; one yin and one yang are opposites. This is precisely the principle.

Soon, ten Illusionary Spirit Orbs were teleported over.

With the Illusionary Spirit Orb, Ying Zheng's plan can now be officially implemented!

The news of Hongmeng Universe joining the Canglan Universe Alliance quickly spread throughout the entire Origin Realm. (End of Chapter)
