Inside the warship was a small grotto-heaven world, less than a hundred li in diameter, home to roughly ten thousand monk-soldiers and cultivators.
However, the Future Body did not enter the grotto-heaven. Instead, he went straight to the back of the warship's controller.
This was a Longevity Realm Arhat, his gaze fixed intently in the direction of the Ghost God Great World.
He had not noticed in the slightest that danger had already arrived behind him.
The Heavens Civilization Torrent erupted, invading his body with the speed of lightning, too swift to cover one's ears.
The other cultivators aboard the warship were likewise drowned in radiance.
A few breaths later, their values and consciousness had been forcibly remolded.
The Arhat's eyes cleared as he looked respectfully at Li Qing's Future Body. "Greetings, great Lord of Human Dao."
Li Qing's Future Body said, "For now, follow the orders of the Ten Thousand Buddhas Glazed World and wait for my command to act."
The Arhat nodded slightly. "Yes, great Lord of Human Dao."
In the next instant, Li Qing's Future Body had already left.
His targets were the many warships, as well as the actual rulers of the eight worlds in this border region.
These eight worlds were all small worlds, capable of accommodating only Longevity Realm cultivators at most.
In Li Qing's Future Body's hands, they were merely a trial of the blade, utterly incapable of resistance.
Li Qing's other fifty avatars were also continually drawing closer to target regions controlled by different factions.
A vast yet utterly silent operation of control had begun.
Within the Northern World Cluster, more than ten thousand worlds were slowly moving.
Nearly all of these worlds belonged to the various world clusters.
Each world cluster contained anywhere from hundreds to tens of thousands of worlds.
