The Abyss Turned Its Gaze Away
Blue Star Port, an ordinary spaceship slowly departs.
When they reached a distance of hundreds of light-years from Blue Star, the spaceship vanished into thin air, Nine-Orifice Exquisite Holy Spirit Avatar appeared.
"Let's use direct spatial travel."
With a slight thought, Su Yuan tore open the space in front of him.
As Holy Spirit, Su Yuan's ability to tear through space extends far beyond the scope of Stellar Lifeform.
If one is a darling of the Supreme Rule of Space, then it's not called tearing space, but rather teleporting across distances by following the fluctuations of space.
Wow!
In the blink of an eye.
Su Yuan then arrived at a place 100,000 light-years away.
"A single space travel, spanning 100,000 light-years?"
A smile appeared on Su Yuan's face. This wasn't even his full-power spatial traversal. If he were to go all out, a single spatial traversal could directly cross hundreds of thousands or even millions of light-years.
Of course, engaging in full-force space travel consumes too much mental energy, and no Stellar Lifeform would be willing to do so unless absolutely necessary.
Blue Star, Arctic Continent.
Su Yuan watched from afar as the Nine-Orifice Exquisite Holy Spirit Avatar departed.
"We will arrive at the target alien territory in half a month."
Su Yuan thought to himself, "This is also the answer given by the Grey Mirror. It's absolutely correct, and there are no unexpected variables."
"Continue your training."
Su Yuan pondered for a moment, then stopped paying attention.
When a new Stellar Lifeform, it is a time of rapid advancement, and the expansion of its Inner World is also the easiest.
"These resources."
Su Yuan immediately took all the resources he had purchased into his Inner World, then refined them all, turning them into the purest essence to nourish his Inner World.
If the Inner World wants to expand, it naturally needs resources as vast as mountains and seas, especially since Su Yuan's Inner World is as large as thirty to forty million miles in circumference, which consumes even more resources.
Time passed.
Half a month has passed in the blink of an eye.
Outside the territory of the thirty-six human cosmic empires, a space was torn apart, and Su Yuan strode out.
"Ahead lies the territory of several major alien races, including the Bifang Race and the Tongyou Race?"
Su Yuan looked into the distance, lost in thought.
After a two-week journey, the Nine-Orifice Exquisite Holy Spirit Avatar finally arrived at the target alien territory.
"And there."
Su Yuan looked to the side.
It was a vast, pitch-black region, spanning billions of light-years, and its influence radiated throughout the entire universe.
"The Abyss, one of the Nine Forbidden Secret Realms."
Su Yuan observed carefully.
The Forbidden Secret Realm, the "Abyss," contains countless dangers, but also many opportunities, and even contains a supreme treasure that can allow Cosmic Lifeform to break through to the level of Chaotic Lifeform.
Countless ages ago, the Primordial Galactic Human Empire, whose Great Sage Wuji was known as "the best in defense," ventured into the "Abyss" before breaking through to the Chaotic Lifeform, attempting to obtain the supreme treasure that could aid in the breakthrough.
It's a pity.
The Great Sage Wuji failed.
He eventually died in the depths of the Abyss.
The existence of the Abyss influences all races in the universe, radiating its Abyss power outwards every moment.
Those who comprehend and cultivate this power are also known as Abyss Cultivators and Evolvers.
Compared to the obscure and difficult-to-understand Nine Supreme Rules, the power of the Abyss is much simpler. The closer one gets to the Abyss, the faster one can comprehend and understand Abyss power.
Furthermore, the strength of Abyss cultivators and evolvers is greater than that of mainstream cultivators and evolvers at the same level. Needless to say, the Starry Sky Lifeform stage is basically at the top level among cultivators and evolvers at the same level.
When the Stellar Lifeform stage is reached, mainstream cultivators and evolvers begin to comprehend the Supreme Rule, and Abyss cultivators and evolvers often gain the upper hand.
Only at the level of Cosmic Saint, when facing a mainstream Saint has comprehended a certain Supreme Rule, does the Abyss Saint present an evenly matched contest.
As for the Supreme Being of Chaos? To date, no Supreme Being of the Abyss has appeared. The limit for Abyss cultivators and evolvers is the Cosmic Saint.
Furthermore, Abyss cultivators and evolvers, due to their excessive reliance on the Abyss, often become weaker the further they are Abyss it. However, if they are at the edge of the universe, Abyss Saint are in a better position, at least able to maintain basic Saint strength.
Abyss Stellar Lifeform? They would probably be halfway down to the level of Stellar Lifeform.
Most importantly, every cultivator in the Abyss is affected by the Abyss, and the stronger the cultivator, the greater the influence. Many ancient Abyss Saint would uncontrollably venture into the depths of the Abyss and never emerge again.
However, despite the many drawbacks and hidden dangers of Abyss cultivators, the number of Abyss cultivators who have evolved is still enormous.
After all, this path of cultivation is easy. Without comprehending the power of the Abyss, many Abyss cultivators cannot even reach the Stellar Lifeform, with a maximum lifespan of only 300,000 years.
Comprehending the power of the Abyss might allow one to become Stellar Lifeform, or even Abyss Saint.
"The Dongyou Galactic Human Empire is the largest gathering place for Abyss cultivators and evolvers within the Human Race."
Su Yuan thought to himself.
The several Supreme Being of Chaos treated the Abyss with great caution, only allowing it to spread within a small area of the Dongyou Galactic Human Empire.
Moreover, even the Dongyou Galactic Human Empire cultivates not only the power of the Abyss, but also the power of the Heavenly Cave.
The Heavenly Cave is one of the Nine Forbidden Secret Realms alongside the Abyss, and it also radiates its own power at all times.
The Abyss created countless Abyss cultivators, and the Heavenly Cave also created countless Heavenly Cave cultivators.
The first emperor of the Dongyou Galactic Human Empire simultaneously comprehended the power of the Abyss and the Heavenly Cave, achieving a balance between the power of the Abyss and the power of the Heavenly Cave within his body, thus ascending to the realm of the Great Saint.
Unfortunately, the first emperor of the Dongyou Galactic Human Empire, in his later years, still could not escape the call of the Abyss and the Heavenly Cave. His physical body entered the Abyss, and his soul entered the Heavenly Cave, and he never appeared again.
A wealth of information surfaced in Su Yuan's mind. Only a few Supreme Being of Chaos among the Human Race knew the fate of the first emperor of the Dongyou Galactic Human Empire, and it was also recorded in the top-secret records of the Dongyou Galactic Human Empire's royal family.
Su Yuan learned about these things from the Grey Mirror.
Whether they are cultivators from the Abyss, cultivators from the Heavenly Cave, or cultivators from other Forbidden Secret Realm.
It's alright if you don't reach the Saint level, but once you Saint, your ultimate fate is to uncontrollably enter the Forbidden Secret Realm realm you're cultivating in.
Then--
It was eaten.
"Um?"
Just as Su Yuan was remotely observing the Forbidden Secret Realm, the "Abyss".
In a hazy, dreamlike state, the dark and deep "Abyss" seemed to sense Su Yuan 'Su Yuan gaze and began to look towards him.
Within the universe.
Any life.
When looking into the Abyss.
Even the Abyss will give its own reflection.
Once they are gazed upon by the Abyss, they will uncontrollably begin to comprehend the power of the Abyss, thus becoming a cultivator or evolver of the Abyss.
"Looking at me?"
Su Yuan did not look away.
If he were a human, he certainly wouldn't be staring so openly into Abyss.
But at this moment.
He is the Holy Spirit! Born of the universe, the "darling" of the Supreme Rule of Destruction.
What good does gazing into the Abyss do?
Even the Supreme Being of Chaos was unwilling to kill a Holy Spirit.
Because it would be hated by the universe.
Buzz~
An invisible yet profound gaze fell upon Su Yuan from the distant Abyss.
Only a fleeting moment passed.
The gaze from the Abyss quickly retreated.
It seemed as if he couldn't be bothered to pay any attention to Su Yuan.
It's obvious that "Abyss" has figured out Su Yuan's identity.
Faced with an existence like the Holy Spirit, which is perfectly aligned with the Supreme Rule of the Dao, it is simply not something that the "Abyss" can transform.
As for forced conversion?
Forcibly converting a Holy Spirit?
That would directly provoke the wrath of the corresponding Supreme Rule, and consequently, the disgust of the universe itself.
It's no different from the price of killing a Holy Spirit.
Not only in the Abyss, but also in the other eight Forbidden Secret Realms, all are utterly helpless when faced with a Holy Spirit.
The Holy Spirit is one of the few beings capable of making the Forbidden Secret Realm feel "disgusting".
Faced with a "Holy Spirit," one cannot forcibly convert it, nor can one directly kill it; one can only let the other watch.
Normally, Forbidden Secret Realm realms like the Abyss that annoy other powerful individuals. For example, if a descendant of a certain Great Saint accidentally becomes tainted by the power of the Abyss and is transformed into Abyss cultivator, wouldn't that Great Saint find it disgusting?
To be tainted by the power of the Abyss and become Abyss cultivator or evolver means that one's potential is exhausted and one can never become a high-ranking member of the Human Race.
Cultivators in the Forbidden Secret Realm realms are strictly restricted in their activities, and can only operate within the Intermediate Galactic Human Empire.
The Three Higher Galactic Human Empires do not allow cultivators from the Forbidden Secret Realm realms to exist. This is to prevent the influence of the corresponding Forbidden Secret Realm from increasing within the Human Race.
"Aren't you looking at me anymore?"
Su Yuan noticed that Abyss had withdrawn his gaze, but he wasn't surprised.
Regardless of one's own identity as the Holy Spirit.
The answer was still given by the Grey Mirror.
All of this gave him enough confidence to face the Abyss.
"Bifang Race"
Su Yuan did not continue to observe the Abyss. He had no interest in Abyss. This path of power was a huge pit. The Supreme Being of Chaos of the Human Race allowed the existence of the Dongyou Galactic Human Empire for other purposes.
Su Yuan, however, did not, so after watching for a while, he headed directly towards the territory of the Bifang Race.
Several days later.
Su Yuan arrived at a more remote part of the territory inhabited by the Bifang Race.
After entering the territory of the Bifang Race, Su Yuan was extremely careful with each spatial traversal, trying his best to minimize the spatial fluctuations caused by the traversal.
Furthermore, after Su Yuan entered the Bifang Race, his route was planned by the Grey Mirror. In every place he passed through, there were no Bifang Race Stellar Lifeform forms, so the Bifang Race was even less able to detect the spatial fluctuations.
Therefore, even after arriving deep into the territory, they were not detected by the powerful members of the Bifang Race.
Compared to the Human Race's monitoring and defense against other races, the Bifang Race is significantly lagging behind. The Source Spirit Race Stellar Lifeform that infiltrated the Canglan Galactic Human Empire a few years ago were located in a very short time.
Of course, those Stellar Lifeform cannot compare to Su Yuan, but they can still demonstrate the extent to which the Human Race controls its own territory.
Click~
In a dark, starry sky, ripples appeared in space before it was torn open, a figure stepped out, and then the torn space quickly recovered, as if nothing had happened.
In the distance, a colossal planet, dozens of times the diameter of Blue Star, was slowly hovering and rotating.
This enormous planet exudes a multitude of auras, including Starry Sky Lifeform and those from Stellar Lifeform. Its starports are bustling with spaceships coming and going.
Su Yuan gazed at the massive planet in the distance. His entire body was hidden within layers of space, enveloped in an aura of Destruction. Even Cosmic Saint would find it difficult to detect him unless they specifically looked at this star field.
This method of merging with space and Destruction also comes from the instinct of the Nine-Orifice Power Holy Spirit; it was accomplished with a single thought.
"Biji Star"
The name of a vast planet in the distance came to Su Yuan's mind.
Biji Star is one of the eighteen main stars of the Bifang Race.
Although the Bifang Race is not as powerful as the Source Spirit Race, it should not be underestimated. They have formed an alliance with six or seven other alien clans, including the Tongyuan Race, to jointly face external enemies.
Su Yuan came to Biji Star because there is a large piece of Destruction God Crystal on this planet.
The Destruction God Crystal is a condensation of endless Power of Destruction, which can be of great benefit to him, a "darling" of the Supreme Rule of Destruction.
"Using Destruction God Crystal as the driving energy source for a planetary defense system is simply a waste."
Su Yuan looked at Biji Star in the distance and thought to himself.
The greatest use of the Destruction God Crystal is to unleash the endless Destruction aura within it, and then utilize it to unleash terrifying killing power.
Used for defense?
It's not that it's impossible, but it would be a bit wasteful.
It's like a sharp blade; it can provide defense, but it's certainly not as effective as a shield of the same level.
"This main planet of the Bifang Race has a total of 36,000 Starry Sky Lifeform, 937 Stellar Lifeform, 132 peak Stellar Lifeform forms, and one Cosmic Saint."
With the help of the Grey Mirror, Su Yuan had a clear understanding of the number of powerful individuals on Biji Star.
The strongest being on the main star, Biji Star, is a Saint of the Bifang Race.
Normally speaking, with Saint presiding over Biji Star, even if Su Yuan is Holy Spirit, he wouldn't be a match for Cosmic Saint before reaching the Saint.
The Cosmic Saint are Cosmic Lifeform, fundamentally different from Stellar Lifeform, a distinction even the Holy Spirit cannot overcome.
Moreover, Su Yuan has not yet reached the peak of Stellar Lifeform. Facing a Saint, it would be extremely fortunate if he were not captured alive.
With Saint presiding over it, Biji Star is theoretically beyond Su Yuan's reach. If he dares to make a move, he will be directly suppressed by that Bifang Race Saint.
Although the Bifang Race wouldn't dare kill a Holy Spirit, they could easily suppress and imprison them, or "sell" them to other top-tier clans or forces.
"Ten days later, Jitian will launch a full-scale war, and the first place where the war will break out will be the front line of the Bifang Race."
"At that time, the Bifang Race was shaken and sent many Saints to the front lines to defend against the enemy. Among the Saint who were transferred to the front lines was the Saint who was in charge of Biji Star."
Su Yuan gazed at the enormous Biji Star in the distance.
This was also the perfect opportunity presented by the Grey Mirror, as the Saint on Biji Star had been transferred away, leaving Biji Star in an unprecedentedly weak state.
At that time, Biji Star would be completely at his mercy.
