The most terrifying thing was that Yucali was not a completely solitary creature.
Under normal circumstances, Yucali would not live in groups, but when the threat grew serious enough, they would gather together and wipe it out.
Therefore, unless necessary, neither players nor cultivators from the cultivation world would make enemies of Yucali, much less foolishly attack one.
The spaceship temporarily came to a halt and ceased moving forward. When encountering a behemoth like Yucali, one generally had to stop and wait for Yucali to leave before continuing the voyage.
This could take one to two weeks, though that was already considered very fast. After all, the Yucali before them was simply too enormous. Its body alone had a diameter of nearly 150 billion light-years, larger than even the universe observed by twentieth-generation humanity. The observable universe of twentieth-generation humanity had a diameter of 92 billion light-years. Although ever more of the universe would be observed as time went on, 92 billion light-years was already unimaginably vast for any living thing—let alone a living thing itself.
Fortunately, the Arboreal Universe had no time. The time carried by Yucali itself moved faster than the speed of light in most universes, which was why it would take only one week.
Thus, that one week was from the perspective of those aboard the ship. To Yucali, it might have been only a few seconds. They had encountered one another, yet their times were utterly different.
However, just as everyone stared fixedly at Yucali, a mass of ant-like creatures suddenly burrowed out from a rock beside the spaceship. They were only said to resemble ants because their tails were longer and softer, somewhat like snake tails.
These were Serpent-Tailed Ants, Arboreal Universe creatures artificially cultivated by someone. Who exactly had created them could no
