Fusion II
"But... what about that recently appeared feminizing maniac? Two areas in our territory have already been extensively feminized as a result, and many representatives from various races have sent people to ask for help. Important figures in their races have suddenly turned into females and have begun to give birth rapidly..."
"This case hasn't been investigated yet... You're leaving now..." Lin Yuexiu said worriedly.
As Lin Hui listened, he suddenly realized that the smile on his face was hard to maintain.
"Feminization shouldn't be a bad thing, right? Look, it doesn't seem to have much of an impact on the surrounding area," he argued.
"But the current situation is that it is our Resistance Army forces that are affected, not just isolated cases. Similar cases have occurred in other Wind Energy- powered areas. It's hard not to suspect that this is a secret conspiracy targeting Clear Jade Mountain," Lin Yuexiu said solemnly.
"Yes, especially the feminized individuals, all of them have become the most perfectly proportioned and age-appropriate type within their respective groups, which has caused a huge impact on the original social structure of the groups. Some smaller groups have even seen an abnormal situation where there are more women than men. Most importantly, these feminized women have focused all their qualities on reproduction, and all other qualities are extremely low... Original cultivation geniuses have had their talents reduced to mere mortals as a result, which is extremely malicious." Xia Si added from the side, not to be outdone.
"..." Lin Hui hadn't expected this situation; it was indeed a huge loss for the clan. He wanted to say a few words, but when he thought that he was the one who indirectly caused it all, he couldn't utter a single word.
He didn't expect that even though he had tried his best to stay away, it would still have a huge impact on the area.
"Furthermore, since the teacher is going to be away for a long time, shouldn't the matter of the Lin Family bloodline be resolved as well?" Xia Si said bluntly.
The implication was that she had to choose between Lin Yuexiu and herself.
This entanglement spanning millions of years should finally come to an end.
"Why should I choose from among you?" Lin Hui retorted.
... These words immediately caused the two women to pause slightly.
"Focus on your cultivation and stop daydreaming all the time." Lin Hui didn't actually like either of them, and he had said so many times, but they just wouldn't give up, which is why the matter had dragged on until now.
At his level, he could see a woman's anatomy clearly, with no secrets or allure to speak of. Only those who truly attracted him in terms of their spiritual values and understanding could be considered as his Daoist partners.
But given his current level of achievement and the speed of his growth, there is simply no one else who can stand shoulder to shoulder with him.
As for Xia Si and Lin Yuexiu, he always treated them as just children.
Upon hearing this, both of them felt somewhat helpless. Those who could cultivate to this level were naturally not fools; their reactions were extremely sharp, and they understood the ending as soon as they heard the beginning.
Next, after carefully planning the subsequent timeline, goals, and requirements, Lin Hui still entrusted Su Yaping with important responsibilities.
Then, he sent a telepathic message to the Chaos Emperor, the Three Mistresses, and other leaders of the secondary calamities who had surrendered, so that they could determine the main purpose of the meeting together.
Everyone is now reaping the benefits of Wind Energy expansion; the more Wind Energy available and the wider its reach, the greater the boost they receive from it.
This is similar to the Source Disaster; the battles outside and inside the Source Disaster Source Disaster are completely different levels.
The situation is also just average in the Wind Energy sector.
Apart from Wind Energy, energy is limited, and the power of the attack is not amplified.
Within the Wind Energy, the energy is limitless, and the power of attacks is enhanced beyond what is expected, which is quite exaggerated.
Therefore, over the years, the three matriarchs and the Chaos Emperor, among other leaders, have each created even more exaggerated forces outside, using the name of Clear Jade Mountain, and have each become a more powerful overlord than before.
At this point, the meeting was held, and following Lin Hui's instructions, everyone made a promise to ensure the stability and peace of their respective jurisdictions, and to continue expansion after Lin Hui's return.
After completing these tasks, Lin Hui collected the final batch of rent for the survival management, took the Myriad Stars Fruit, glanced at the Black Domain void where he had stayed for so long, and then turned and traversed away into the vast distance.

How big is the Black Domain?
Nobody knows.
After leaving the area surrounding Clear Jade Mountain and traversing long distances for several months, Lin Hui finally discovered a second place with signs of life in a seemingly empty Black Domain.
In the empty, Black Domain void, there wasn't a single world sphere around, only lifeless, gray-black rocks tumbling and rolling across the surroundings.
Lin Hui made a light sweeping motion in the air with one hand.
Suddenly, a transparent crack appeared in the space in front of them.
A new dimension I've never seen before... It's so well hidden, only a few meters long. If I were any more careless, I definitely wouldn't have noticed the entrance."
He gazed at the transparent crack before him, took a light step, and flew into it.
At his level, ordinary dangerous places are nothing to him. Dangers that are not at the top level of the Source Disaster cannot harm him.
With a soft "poof".
Lin Hui's vision blurred, and he was transported into a space shimmering with seven-colored light.
Colorful specks of light floated everywhere in this space.
In the distance ahead, a brightly colored, oval-shaped piece of land floats.
A white, cube-shaped stone tablet stands on the land.
Lin Hui flew closer and saw that the inscription on the stone tablet was clearly engraved with: Aurora Enlightenment Ground.
He smiled slightly, pointed at the stone tablet, intending to reverse the timeline to see what traces the Aurora had left behind, in order to obtain more clues.
But as soon as they tried to do so, they discovered that the stone tablet remained completely untouched, seemingly unaffected by the hundreds of thousands of years that had just been reversed.
Lin Hui's eyes became slightly serious. He circled the stone tablet and quickly discovered some fine engravings on the back.
The Aurora Celestial, whose original name is unknown, was given this title because his actions were as dazzling as the Aurora borealis. His true form perished in the Second Great Annihilation, and his traces disappeared in the Third Source Disaster Torrent.
It turns out to be a place left behind by the Celestial Venerable.
Lin Hui suddenly realized why the stone tablet was placed so discreetly, outside the normal dimension.
Here, combining Chongli's original explanation, he gained a preliminary understanding that the Celestial Venerable had died twice.
One death is the physical body, which includes the physical form and the imprinted soul. This death is not complete.
There are still traces left that can be brought back to life.
But during the resurrection process, all traces were erased and wiped away, leaving everything hopeless.
Mu Cheng Jiang was in the same situation back then. Even though all traces of him had been erased, Lin Hui somehow managed to pull him out completely.
This is also the fundamental reason why he unconditionally protects Lin Hui.
Chongli was slightly different. He deliberately left his heart as a backup plan. In addition, because he was weak, he was not targeted or feared as much, so he did not die a second time. Although his heart was also dug out by Lin Hui, even without Lin Hui, there was a bait trap in his heart, giving him a chance to revive.
Lin Hui wandered around in this narrow space for a while, making sure there was nothing else besides the tombstone, before he deliberately broke away and continued to travel into the distance.
He was incredibly fast, and even while continuously flying back and forth, he could simultaneously cultivate and comprehend his understanding of his rank.
Time flies.
Year after year, time flies like water, and in the blink of an eye, another 100,000 years have passed.
Along the way, Lin Hui encountered more than a dozen narrow dimensions like the ones before, and once inside, they were filled with the tombstones of celestial beings.
None of them had names; their names were all given by later generations as distinctive identifiers. They were all equally inconspicuous and equally difficult to detect.
He had no idea how far he had flown; Clear Jade Mountain was long past his sensing range.
Using such small-dimensional spaces as cemeteries seems to be a custom of the Resistance Army.
Lin Hui hadn't expected that the Resistance Army would have so many Celestial Venerables.
That's just the number of people he's encountered; not to mention those he hasn't.
As time passed, he gradually felt the suppressed Propagation power within him begin to show abnormalities again. The power of the two Celestial Venerables could only be maintained for such a short time.
About ten thousand years later, there was no trace of any living creature left in the Black Domain surrounding him.
After flying alone for two thousand years, a vast void embroiled in war finally appeared ahead once more.
One after another, gates of Light Disaster spewed forth countless blue light monsters, fighting against another massive army that was fiercely attacking them.
Yes, it's not erosion, but rather being invaded in reverse.
The army's main body consisted of a strange humanoid race with bodies resembling mantises and dark golden skin.
This race is extremely numerous and powerful. They mass-produce high-level armies through a special cloning system. They absorb the power of the Source Disaster, convert it into material energy nutrients, and then clone them for production.
After observing from the sidelines for a while, Lin Hui quietly left.
These mantis-men, posing as Resistance Army and the Star Gods, don't treat the lower classes as human beings, but merely as basic expendable resources, repeatedly producing and testing them before throwing them directly into the battlefield. This completely contradicts his moral values, but because they are effective in resisting the Source Disaster, he can't say or do anything, and quietly leaves.
After leaving the Mantis Black Domain, Lin Hui encountered dozens of different civilization systems. He had pleasant conversations with some of their leaders, and due to extreme dissatisfaction, he took action to modify certain systems.
But as he continued his travels, he vaguely discovered that no matter what kind of civilization it was, no matter how powerful or unique it was, they would all face one last problem.
weak.
Or rather, Decay.
The initial structure used new materials, but as time went on, the materials began to Decay. The first to have problems were the small branches and leaves, and then the problems gradually spread to the main structure.
The main stem rots layer by layer from the outside in, until it is beyond saving.
Such Decay, if it is to be perpetuated, can be superficially repaired or its minor details refurbished, but this can only prolong its lifespan by a small amount.
The Decay of the main trunk is beyond repair.
Unless it involves a complete overhaul, which requires immense courage and patience, and even after treatment, the patient will fall into a period of great weakness.
Lin Hui traveled to more and more civilizations and encountered more and more forces, and his fusion of personalities became more and more complete, but he never saw a civilization or force that could completely excavate its own Decay flesh and blood and scrape the bone to heal its wounds.
Therefore, he gradually came to understand a principle.
Decay is the inevitable end for all things.
Through his travels, he gradually discovered the true nature of the persona he had merged with.
That's not Propagation in the traditional sense, but the Propagation of the true power of all things. And Decay, it seems, are two sides of the same coin.
That is, he had seen it in the Blood Seal a long time ago: Void Life and Void Death.
Nothingness is the starting point; it can lead to life or it can lead to death.
This future trend is what is known as Void Life and Void Death.
Nothingness has always existed. Initially, it showed a tendency to grow, but now it is heading towards death, that is, Decay.
This is not the same as metabolism or the replacement of the old with the new; rather, it is the overall trend of everything.
