Endless Divine Realm.
On the smooth wall surface of the silver sphere, there are drawer-like balconies.
The terrace was furnished with tables and chairs for relaxation, and under the faint, transparent aura, it felt less like the outer edge of the Black Domain and more like a seaside resort hotel.
In one of the white jade-colored terraces.
A middle-aged man with short, white hair held a glass of orange-green liquor, silently gazing at the meteor-like world spheres that tumbled and streaked across the Black Domain.
The world within the Black Domain is mostly spherical; living things appear in color, while inanimate things are in various single colors, mostly gray, black, and white.
These meteor-like world spheres, varying in size, streak across the outer edge of the divine realm every so often, creating a spectacle resembling meteors and comets.
"Why are you drinking here alone again?" Behind the white-haired man, a blonde woman in a purple-black short dress slowly materialized and stretched her waist.
"Ah, that was a really good sleep," she yawned.
"I've been here in the Red Luan Star System for a thousand years now," the man sighed. "The long passage of time wears down everything that interests me. In the end, I've found that only daydreaming is the most comfortable and doesn't drain my mind."
"That's a boring idea. You're just too lenient with yourself." The woman shook her head. "A lot of things become tiresome if you do them in excess. You indulged yourself too much in the past, so now you can't get interested in anything."
Is there any way?
"Yes, after working hard for a while, you'll want to rest again," the woman said with a smile.
"It seems there's been some trouble at Dragon Court recently, otherwise you wouldn't be speaking in such a tone," the man chuckled.
"You're right, the Dragon Court captured a hidden demigod. We don't even know how this one got out; it's not a remnant of the last incident," the woman sighed. "So, there's already some friction on the border."
"Another fight is about to break out?"
"Perhaps this is where your advantage as a Shen Mu comes in. Casters don't need to go to the battlefield; they only need to maintain order and oversight from the rear," the woman said enviously. "Unlike us."
"You're overthinking it. If there really is a need, we might be dragged up too," the man said helplessly. " Shen Mu, as judges, mainly handle large-scale cases, but these cases usually involve a great deal of people, and we're not qualified to make decisions alone. In the end, we often have no choice but to get involved."
"That's still better than us... Let's not talk about that. By the way, I've recently heard about a lot of cases where administrators in first-tier cities have developed emotional attachments to ordinary people?" the woman asked.
"Yes, for these kinds of minor cases, I usually hand them over to the judges. The three judges under me handle them very quickly, following the proper procedures. There's nothing to hesitate about." The man nodded.
"Who handled the case on the Red Pattern Star's side?"
" Red Pattern Star? It should be Karin, what's wrong?"
"It's nothing, someone just asked my niece to take care of it, so I just wanted to ask," the woman said with a smile.
"There's not much room for maneuver in these kinds of cases." The man understood immediately, then shook his head with a smile.
"We have to give you some hope, don't we?" the woman replied.
After chatting with the man for a while, the woman took her leave.
Returning from the terrace to the inner side of the divine realm, her figure materialized directly from the simulated sky and flew into a huge golden floating platform suspended in mid-air.
A beautiful girl with a golden spiral ponytail had been waiting on the platform for a long time. Upon seeing her return, she immediately went to greet her.
"How is it? How is it?" the girl asked urgently.
"Huang Shen Mu didn't say anything, which means it's possible to work out, but the scope is limited, and the outcome is likely unchangeable," the woman in the purple dress said casually, rubbing the girl's cheek.
"Is that so? That's a real shame..." The girl had confidently boasted to her friend, and now it seemed this matter was rather difficult.
"If all else fails, can we find someone else?" The girl's eyes suddenly lit up as she thought of a solution.
"It would have worked before, but now is a critical moment, it definitely won't work." The woman in the purple dress shook her head.
The so-called "replacement" simply means finding a scapegoat to take the place of.
"What can I do? I've already made those boastful promises to others!" the blonde girl exclaimed helplessly.
"What's wrong with losing face? It's not like it's your first time," the woman in the purple dress laughed.
"Oh, right, there's another way..." Suddenly, the blonde girl seemed to have thought of a new idea.
"Alright, alright, stop making a fuss. Just return all the benefits you received. This is crucial, don't touch it at this critical moment," the woman in the purple dress instructed.
The blonde girl pouted again.
"Actually, I've always thought, what's the big deal about having an emotional connection with an ordinary person? Why sentence someone to death for something so serious?"
"What do you know?" the woman in the purple dress snapped.
"I don't understand, I just can't stand it. Continuing to do this has forced so many mortals who were originally on our side to become hybrids, specifically opposing us. It's simply not worth it," the blonde girl retorted.
"Just some lowly rabble, a slightly larger insect."
"The mixed race is already as strong as a third-ring cultivator, and you still look down on them? What if one day they actually become a top-tier expert by accident? Let's see what you arrogant fools do then!" the blonde girl said discontentedly.
"Don't worry, anything can happen in dreams." The woman in the purple dress chuckled.
"And then there are mortals, so many mortals, who knows if some abnormal top geniuses might emerge from them," the blonde girl continued.
"Geniuses are simply faster than others, that's all. True strength involves far too many trials and tribulations. You only need to know that it's impossible for a top-tier expert to influence the divine realm to emerge from the mortal world," the woman in the purple dress concluded. "Alright, let's leave this topic at that."

Lin Hui sat cross-legged, hovering outside the Heart Source Demon Palace, his stellar energy rising and falling in sync with the slowly vibrating Time String force of the outside world.
He collected these Time String powers by going directly to various small worlds after contacting the major calamities, based on his previous ideas.
The quantity is not large, but they are easy to find.
He didn't need to enter in person; he simply separated a Saint Form outside the small world. Once inside, he used the identification methods taught by Fusheng to quickly find those who would change the times within the society of living beings. Many small worlds were not large, making it easy to find those who would change the times. Then, Time String appeared, varying in size and coverage area.
These Time String may be weak and inconspicuous, but there are enough of them.
Each Time String had barely appeared when its main power was absorbed, leaving it only to flicker briefly before slowly fading away.
From this perspective, individuals possessing an abundance of Existence Force overlap somewhat with key figures who change eras. Finding only one aspect is enough to quickly identify the other.
After absorbing the Time String Aura activated by the Saint Form, Lin Hui slowly finished his practice and stood up.
"This method of cultivation is fast, but it's a bit too disruptive." He sensed the rapidly increasing cultivation of the Great Yin Yang Time Reversal Sword Technique within his body and gently stretched his arms.
At this rate, it will probably take at most a few years for him to absorb enough Time String to perfect the third level of the sword technique...
By then... having severed his internal organs and spiritual burdens, what level of strength would he have reached?
He estimated that comprehending a single Time String in the small world was enough for him to quickly leapfrog his cultivation level and enter the second stage.
Now, by using the Saint Form to collect and witness more smaller Time String Time String, many of which he himself actively promoted, he has brought about their emergence.
Such a scale is naturally far smaller than that of natural evolution, and the size of the Time String is also small.
However, the sheer volume of this practice led to a gradual but significant increase in cultivation, resulting in considerable progress.
According to the secret method of the Existence Force, I can use my position on Red Pattern Star in the Endless Divine Realm to search for someone who can change the times. With a little guidance, I might be able to activate a sufficiently large super-scale Time String.
However, to do this, we must take into account the powerful influence of the Divine Court, the Dragon Court, and Swallow Fort.
The major powers are the ballast here, and their strength level far surpasses that of the other smaller worlds.
Lin Hui had previously operated some small worlds, and even some ordinary small regional countries with only tens of millions of people.
It is not difficult to create artificial changes to alter the course of history in such a country.
However, if one wants to cause trouble on a planet with such a highly advanced technological civilization as Red Pattern Star, the requirements for Time String Emergence become much higher.
Standing up from the entrance of the Heart Source Demon Palace, Lin Hui suddenly felt a stirring in his heart, realizing something, and made a hand seal with one hand.
Instantly, a wisp of his consciousness, far away on Red Pattern Star, was quickly retrieved and merged into his mind.
The recycling also brought to light the current situation on Ding Yizai's side.
It has been more than two weeks since Ding Yizai begged for a fake Ding Luo.
During this time, Ding Yiran was frantically following the fake Ding Luo in what was called arduous cultivation.
Lin Hui didn't interfere, but quietly added some nourishing energy to his Second Brother's body to prevent him from being overworked and collapsing.
Meanwhile, on the Red Pattern Star, south of the Ding Family's residence, in a spacious, abandoned factory building.
The fake Ding Luo Ding Yizai about the difference between mortals and the divine army.
The weather was clear and cloudless, with a gentle and warm breeze in this open-air factory building overgrown with weeds.
Ding Yizai was noticeably larger than he had been two weeks ago. This was because the fake Ding Luo had provided him with some special drugs for free, which stimulated his body to produce a benign reaction.
"At this point, the foundation is almost complete." Fake Ding Luo circled around Ding Yiran, carefully examining her, and nodded slightly.
"Basic?!" Ding Yiran shuddered. The intense training that had almost killed him was just about laying the basics?!
Several times he thought that the fake Ding Luo had changed his mind and was really planning to kill him.
But time and again, he persevered.
And now, they're telling him that his previous training was just laying the foundation!?
"That's right. Otherwise, why would you think that our Endless Divine Clan has the word 'god' in our name? You don't think that catching up to the lowest level of our race is a simple matter, do you?" Fake Ding Luo said in a deep voice.
"... I understand... It's okay, I can do it, I can persevere!" Ding Yiran gritted her teeth and nodded fiercely again.
"Alright then." Fake Ding Luo was unaware that Lin Hui was also secretly observing them from the shadows. At this moment, she began to formally explain the legendary technique that could allow ordinary people to catch up with low-level divine soldiers in a short time.
