"Rise."
The three men stood up respectfully, hands at their sides as they waited for Yan Ning's instructions.
"Sky Dome."
Yan Ning looked at the Sky Dome Palace Master.
"Give me a detailed report on the situation in the Sky Dome Realm."
"Yes, Master."
The Sky Dome Palace Master stepped forward, his voice steady.
"There are nine great dynasties in the Sky Dome Realm, and they are now all under your control. As the highest governing body, the Sky Dome Palace has 108 Sealed King Undying and 3,216 Immortal Army Masters..."
As he listened to the report, Yan Ning considered his plans for what came next.
"Master."
The Sky Dome Palace Master spoke up suddenly.
"There is one more matter I need to report."
"Go ahead."
"Three thousand years ago, I began opening the secret realm ahead of schedule. It is expected that in another hundred years, we will be able to open a passage connecting to the Primal Universe."
A glint flashed in Yan Ning's eyes. "Oh?"
This was an unexpected bonus.
He also learned why Sky Dome hadn't left this world.
Because he couldn't.
He simply couldn't get out.
This secret realm seemed a little unusual.
After entering it, he could no longer sense his Divine Kingdom Coordinate.
He didn't know whether that was because the secret realm had yet to fully emerge.
But it seemed this problem would be solved in just a hundred years.
A minor issue.
"Very good."
He rose to his feet, golden flames flickering in his three vertical pupils.
"Next, I want you to do three things."
"First, consolidate all the resources in the Sky Dome Realm."
"Second..."
"Third..."
Yan Ning assigned a series of tasks.
Half a month later.
At the center of the Sky Dome Realm.
The Sky Dome Palace.
