Immortal Path!
The thought that even their ancestors, who had long since become gods, were not as powerful as themselves brought a hint of smugness to most of the people present.
There's nothing they can do; they won at the finish line, even though their ancestors were ahead of them.
"Look."
"The cosmic star map that I conjured in my hand is the area that we, the Heavenly Realm beings, are to manage."
A star disk composed of countless galaxies and extragalactic galaxies is presented to everyone in the form of a 3D stereoscopic projection.
Cao Yu flicked his hand, and the entire projection was magnified several times over, so that all the celestial officials in the hall could see it clearly.
"My goodness, the universe is so vast!"
An absurd number of celestial bodies, meteorites, black holes, nebulae... were laid out before them.
With a tap of your finger, you can zoom in on the planetary projections.
They were even able to try to zoom in and observe these operations, and the group searched through information projections from millions of planets.
but...
Yet, there are very few planets with life...
For reasons unknown, they even had a strange desire to find life forms like themselves on other planets.
Perhaps this is an attempt to find a sense of coexistence.
But seeing the eagerness and urgency they displayed in their actions, Cao Yu thought with a touch of helplessness:
"This scene is so similar to the scene in the original world where people search for extraterrestrial life."
Especially those people engaged in the scientific field, such as Jing Hongchen, Kong Deming, He Caitou, Xuan Ziwen, and Huo Yuhao.
That reaction was unexpectedly strong.
"Perhaps this is a common problem among scientists? An excessively strong thirst for knowledge and a desire for exploration."
At that moment, a sound rang out.
"Look what I've found!"
At this moment, the disappointed officials were immediately drawn to the sound. Xuan Ziwen raised the frame of his glasses on his nose with his right hand.
His expression wasn't the expected ecstatic joy, but rather a surprising hint of anxiety.
"I have finally discovered advanced life forms similar to us on a blue planet in the Gaia Galaxy."
"But their situation is far from optimistic, as you can see."
All the information about this blue planet was projected onto everyone's screens; they could even see these half-fish creatures anxiously boarding the ship.
The alien soldier, whose entire body was yellow, was frantically drinking seawater, causing his body to swell up even more.
Then they built a high wall to protect the retreating merfolk behind them.
But countless volcanoes continue to erupt, burying them in towering volcanic ash, spewing lava, and boulders like meteorites.
"Your Majesty, are we simply going to stand by and do nothing? After all, we finally discovered extraterrestrial life."
Bai Xiuxiu then asked Cao Yu, and since her true form was also Sea Soul Beast, she had a certain primal resonance with these newly born intelligent marine life forms.
"Yes, to be precise."
"After all, this is just a projection; we haven't officially taken over those star systems yet."
"If one day all the celestial officials in our Heavenly Realm could be spread throughout the entire universe, then we wouldn't have to stand by and watch this tragedy happen."
Although the projection makes them appear very close to these star systems, in reality, even if they used their most powerful divine abilities to get there, it would take them at least several years.
After all, the distances between different galaxies cannot be measured by simple numbers.
"Moreover, this blue planet's lifespan has come to an end."
"They couldn't avoid this calamity, and there was nowhere to hide from it."
Ultimately, they witnessed the destruction of a civilization, with countless volcanic eruptions, the planet cracking open, and massive amounts of seawater overflowing.
Then, like a silent firework, the entire planet suddenly exploded, eventually turning into a nebula.
They still have hope!
Because the sharp-eyed Xuan Ziwen spotted three or four spaceships that were exactly the same as the ones they had just seen, even from a distance of several planets.
It contained a large number of half-fish embryos, who eventually escaped the disaster carrying the seeds of life.
But most of the original inhabitants of the planet perished in this catastrophe.
"Your Majesty, I would like to request permission to take over that star system."
Bai Xiuxiu said this, and Cao Yu naturally nodded in agreement.
Anyway, people will be sent to take over these star systems eventually, so it's not a big problem who gets to do it.
Cao Yu then announced, "From now on, these star regions will be entrusted to everyone for management. Of course, if there aren't enough celestial officials, we can recruit more later."
"Although the universe is vast, everyone must remember that all intelligent beings in our star systems are our subjects!"
Xu Jiawei laughed heartily and said, " Little Yu, you've got a much broader perspective; you're more impressive than us."
After all, at his peak, he only ruled over the people of an entire continent.
Unexpectedly, Cao Yu now commands the creatures of countless star systems.
Each generation is truly better than the last!
Since Xuan Ziwen discovered the first intelligent civilization, everyone else has made their own new discoveries.
In different galaxies and on different planets, there exist many strange and different intelligent life forms.
There are enormous alien life forms covered in tentacles, floating in the sky.
There are centaurs, intelligent life forms with plant-like bodies, and intelligent life forms with soul-like bodies.
Even those that are tiny, some even living in a two-dimensional plane, possess a highly developed level of civilization.
There are even interstellar wars taking place between different civilizations, with each side fighting to the death.
Everyone exclaimed that this was even more exciting than watching a movie or playing a game!
" Little Yu, is this the extent of the universe, aside from this designated area?" the old man asked.
Cao Yu shook his head and replied, "No."
"The universe is infinitely vast; besides the star systems we govern, there are many unknown star systems."
"Perhaps even more fascinating stories are unfolding in those places!"
A few days later, the celestial officials had adapted to life in the Heavenly Realm, and some of them set off ahead of time to take over those star fields.
As a result, some people started to work harder and become more competitive, but most people were still not in a hurry.
Cao Yu followed their lead in this regard.
After all, life after becoming an immortal is meant to be blissful; after a lifetime of struggle, it's time to take a proper rest.
But the only problem that bothered them was that the internet in the Heavenly Realm seemed to be terrible!
As a result, they frequently disconnected while playing Glory, and many of their Immortal Official ranks were even dragged down by the game.
" Xiao Gangzi, go and talk to His Majesty about upgrading the Heavenly Realm's internet as soon as possible, otherwise my teammates will start calling me a noob again."
"Yes, yes, let's go together!"
As a result, the council meeting in the main hall became exceptionally lively that day.
The celestial officials all suggested, "Your Majesty, the Heavenly Realm network speed is terrible. We need to quickly set up a better network; there's absolutely no gaming experience."
"I second that proposal!"
"Moreover, those juniors in the lower realm dared to spout such arrogant words, even calling us elementary school students! Your Majesty, you must stand up for us old ministers!"
Cao Yu waved his hand helplessly and said, "Alright, alright, I promise you."
"I'll create another Heavenly Realm network, then the entire universe we rule will be able to receive messages."
"Your Majesty is wise!"
