metaverse evolution.

A dazzling "celestial river" stretches across the void, but this river is far from peaceful, as the all-out war between the two factions has begun to affect this region. In this situation of total war, there is no room for opportunism.

On this day, the God of War, Loron, was leading his dragon cavalry regiment in a charge, attacking a cultivation sect from the opposing faction.

Within the two camps, there is no strict distinction between a belief system and a cultivation system; various systems coexist. During the war, betrayal, recruitment, and poaching among members were commonplace.

Every major battle between factions is an opportunity to reshuffle the deck, a chance to redistribute interests, and even a new opportunity for enlightenment. Therefore, both sides in a battle will generally go all out.

However, the intensity of the war has recently decreased due to strange rumors. News has come from the other side of the Milky Way that a being called 'Terror Paradise' has appeared and is currently spanning the entire Milky Way.

During the battle, Loron suddenly received an urgent message: his son, Ruihua, had returned with the latest news from Horror Park.

Soon after, a "saint" appeared, accompanied by a small number of dragon riders.

Upon seeing this, Luo Long was overjoyed, "Not bad, not bad, you have finally reached the realm of a saint."

However, Ruihua showed no joy, but rather anxiety and terror. "Father, at the current speed, Horror Paradise will arrive here in another 30 days."

The time system used in the Inner World is called the "Heaven and Earth Year," which is equivalent to five hundred years in the Yanhuang Era. Of course, the time systems used in different places vary greatly, and there is no unified standard in the Inner World.

Here, a year is roughly equivalent to more than three hundred years in the Yanhuang calendar. A single day in that era is also roughly equivalent to a year in the Yanhuang calendar. After all, a day in heaven is a year on earth—that's what our ancestors said.

"So fast? There really is a horror park? What is it?" War God Loron frowned.

The Son of God, Ruihua, immediately transmitted a thought and sent a message packet.

Horror Paradise is a recent rumor that has appeared in this galaxy, but at first it was only a vague rumor—Gudu is coming… no… Horror Paradise is coming. It's a massive catastrophe with a diameter exceeding one-tenth of a light-year!
One-tenth of a light-year is already quite small. Horror Park has already shrunk down for its relocation. But even at its smallest size, it's still a colossus, an existence beyond imagination.

But no one could say for sure what the Horror Paradise was. All that was known was that a powerful figure who had escaped from afar said, "The Horror Paradise is coming! Run! Those who can't escape will be devoured!"

So don't ask what a horror park is; just know that it's scary.

Terror is contagious, but there are always those with strong will who will go against the tide. Ruihua led a group of experts to investigate, and now they have returned victorious, even breaking through to the Saint realm.

Ruihua was quite lucky; after leading his team to the other side of the Milky Way, they were discovered by the advance team of the Rising Dragon Fleet. Upon seeing the spaceship, Ruihua boldly stepped forward to greet them.

Although the Rising Dragon Fleet's ships have been upgraded, this design is still unique.

A near miss more than three hundred years ago led to this courageous step forward. The exchange ultimately yielded positive results.

Ruihua gave up some so-called cultivation techniques and materials in exchange for a "man-made Creation Jade Disc," which enabled him to break through his cultivation level and also taught him what the Horror Paradise was all about.

The Horror Paradise is the body of the Purple Star Sage! And right now, this Purple Star Sage is migrating, so don't panic, just make way.

After reading the message, Luo Long took a deep breath. "So this is the legendary Ziwei Sage! If no one had told us, we would never have imagined this situation."

"By the way, didn't you give those Rising Dragon Fleet any benefits?"

Ruihua sighed helplessly, "Father, they have everything they need. We even pick up the trash they casually throw away and treat it like a treasure. Look at this."

Ruihua took out a discarded part—a bearing. But when Luolong received it, he was astonished to discover that the bearing's materials and other qualities had reached the level of a high-grade acquired spiritual treasure. And he, as a saint, only possessed a mid-grade set of acquired spiritual treasures.

Loron remained silent for a while, then sighed, "How much of this kind of trash is left?"

Ruihua: "There are more than a dozen spaceships, and each spaceship is a small world."

I've already made arrangements; the other party will arrive in about 30 days and will dump this 'garbage' at the location we designate.

In the meantime, we just need to prepare more pure elemental metals. What the Rising Dragon Fleet is actually lacking are basic metals.

I have a list here: sodium, potassium, rubidium, mercury, gold, silver, copper, iron, aluminum, magnesium, titanium, manganese, chromium, molybdenum, nickel, vanadium, tungsten, lead, tin, platinum, uranium, etc. I've also brought some equipment and mining and smelting technologies.

Luo Long nodded. "Okay, let's do it that way. By the way, the other party needs more information, knowledge, and techniques. See if you can collect all the information and techniques you can."

Also, didn't you get any cultivation techniques or anything from this Rising Dragon Fleet?

The matter was quite serious, and Luo Long's speech became somewhat incoherent and contradictory.

Ruihua: "I've already made it clear that once the fleet arrives, I will leave with it and begin the so-called study tour program. I plan to visit this Yanhuang civilization."

"no problem."

As time passed, many surrounding forces migrated under the influence of "Terror Paradise." But the God of War, Loron, led his forces in a frenzied expansion and frantically mined minerals.

The Rising Dragon Fleet only needs some ordinary metals. As long as you know what they are, any cultivator at the beginner god level can mine them artificially.

More than thirty years have passed in the blink of an eye, and the grand horror amusement park has finally arrived. The journey has been smooth sailing, and they have even picked up quite a few "scumbags".

The movement of Horror Paradise did not stop, but the Rising Dragon Fleet set off ahead of time, met with the God of War, Loron, took away a large amount of metal, and left behind a large amount of "junk".

During the transaction, tens of millions of saints from the Rising Dragon Fleet were mobilized, and countless cultivators throughout the God of War pantheon trembled in fear, yet they also offered unimaginable metal resources.

These metal resources were plentiful, enough to increase the overall size of the Rising Dragon Fleet tenfold. In return, the fleet left behind a lot of junk, even several old spaceships. Of course, these so-called old spaceships of the Rising Dragon Fleet were considered divine artifacts by others.

Ruihua shrunk his form—from a "divine body" spanning over ten kilometers to a normal-sized "body"—and moved into the fleet to study. As for the tuition, it consisted of all the knowledge the God of War had managed to gather over the years.

The horror park continued its journey without stopping for a moment. Soon after crossing the Milky Way, they found the location of the Evergreen Sky.

For other cultivators, finding a celestial realm with invisibility in the vast starry sky is difficult, but for the Ascending Dragon Palace, returning home is incredibly easy.

Too many traces were left behind, not to mention the black hole was born here, and the laws of the entire Changqingtian are different. Knowing the parameters and searching in a targeted manner, it is easy to find Changqingtian.

The Evergreen Sky is still relatively stable. Although several hundred years have passed, the expansion of the black hole has not yet affected the entire Evergreen Sky.

The Eternal Sky has a diameter of over 1200 light-years and a radius of 600 light-years. Even if the black hole's expansion maintained the speed of light throughout, only a little over 400 years have passed, so its effects have clearly not yet extended beyond the Eternal Sky.

In just a few days, the fleet reopened the entrance to Changqingtian. The entrance was so large that the terrifying paradise, a tenth of a light-year away, could easily enter, embedding itself directly into the crystal wall of Changqingtian, and then swallowing the Heavenly Dao of Changqingtian in one gulp.

Chu Fei, on the other hand, spent more than half a year conducting various investigations to understand the current situation of Changqingtian.

The rest of the saints and those chaotic divine beasts were all gone! Chu Fei and the Goddess of Nature couldn't even go back and have a "heart-to-heart talk" with a saint.

After capturing and questioning several low-level quasi-saints, it was discovered that, taking advantage of the change in the Heavenly Dao, those chaotic divine beasts had directly abducted all the "saints".

Later, as the black hole formed and its influence expanded, the Heavenly Dao of Changqingtian was continuously weakened (and is being altered), resulting in a reduction in the internal constraints of the Heavenly Crystal Wall.

The few "mini saints" who emerged from the Azure Lotus World also took the opportunity to flee. Later, the more powerful quasi-saints also ran away.

There are no saints left in Changqingtian now, and the saintly positions haven't even been re-formed—the will of Heaven was in a state of chaos until Chu Fei returned. There are a few quasi-saints, but they are all at a low level.

A brand new war for "quasi-saints" is brewing in Changqingtian. The Heavenly Dao of Changqingtian has changed, and anyone who can become a high-level quasi-saint has the opportunity to achieve a "powerful ascension," escape Changqingtian, and break free from the fate of being hunted by the Chaos Beasts.

In short, Changqingtian is now half-destroyed. Although it still has some quasi-saint level resources, it no longer has saint level resources.

The black hole has stabilized and now appears unlikely to disappear. Who knows what the future of Changqingtian will hold? Furthermore, due to the black hole, there's no way back, rendering this place utterly worthless to the Rising Dragon Fleet.

But for the 'True Ruler of Heavenly Sin', this place is of immense value.

When Chu Fei led countless cultivators from the entire Horror Paradise to the vicinity of the black hole, all the cultivators in the Horror Paradise were stunned. This was the first time they had ever seen such an extreme celestial body.

The "black hole" had stabilized by this point. Its final impact range was not very large, only about two hundred light-years. Due to the unique environment of the inner world, coupled with the self-redemption of the Heavenly Dao, and even the intervention of powerful beings, it achieved self-salvation.

How to rescue them? This is thanks to the extensive education conducted by the Ascending Dragon Palace back then, which taught many cultivators that as long as they promoted a movement across the continent, it might be possible to escape destruction. Although it was difficult, it still had some effect. There were still a large number of Great Luo Golden Immortals and low-level Quasi-Saints here; the strong are strong, and they always have some ability.

The black hole, still not cooled down, at first glance still appears as a terrifying quasar, spewing terrifying jets of energy from its poles, surrounded by a massive accretion disk. Far from being black, the black hole is actually blindingly bright.

However, it is precisely this nascent state that benefits the Heavenly Sin True Ruler even more, as she can sense the birth of the black hole from beginning to end.

Although the black hole may take hundreds of millions or even billions of years to cool down, given the current state of the Heavenly Sin True Ruler, it should be able to wait.

Furthermore, after learning about science, the True Ruler of Heaven's Sin's physical condition has begun to improve. This is also the reason why the Rising Dragon Fleet received special privileges—they can trade with Loron and become the only non-corrupted force in Horror Paradise.

Of course, this is also because there are a large number of Saint-level elites, and even more elites are studying the physical condition of the Heavenly Sin True Ruler. The Heavenly Sin True Ruler is currently still in the guinea pig stage.

As for whether the elites of the Rising Dragon Fleet might have left some hidden tricks or something during their research, needless to say, they definitely would.

In fact, Chu Fei and everyone else knew very well that the Heavenly Sin True Ruler needed everyone, which was why he opened his soul for everyone to study. But this was equivalent to a queen stripping naked and letting everyone tinker with her to cure her illness.

But what do you think she'll do once she recovers? The answer is—she won't dare guess, she won't gamble. Actually, there's no need to guess or gamble; just plan for the worst-case scenario. Saving her with CPR and then accusing her of groping—this is a move men wouldn't understand.

The Rising Dragon Fleet's plan is—to launch a meme virus.

In terms of manufacturing, the Rising Dragon Fleet's current technological level has reached 26.0, which is equivalent to the Great Dao Saint level. Confronting a Purple Star Saint is practically out of the question. However, when it comes to destruction, it's far too easy.

In the 24.0 stage of big data cultivation, creation is accomplished through algorithmic segmentation, which involves the information field. In other words, a big data cultivator at the 24.0 level can provide a backdoor for the Purple Star Sage—provided the Purple Star Sage has his stomach exposed.

This is the advantage of cultivating with big data. And these backup plans made Chu Fei somewhat fearless, which allowed him to be calm and composed in his interactions with the Heavenly Sin True Ruler.

A year later, after Chu Fei had fully understood and analyzed the black hole with the help of the Heavenly Sin True Ruler, he proposed to leave and take all the researchers with him.

The True Ruler of Heavenly Sin remained silent for a moment before saying, "Is my body still not fully recovered?"

What does this mean? If we tell each other, will we be silenced?
These thoughts flashed through Chu Fei's mind, but he calmly replied, "Not at all. But along the way, we have already trained a group of elites designated by our predecessors, and they are more than capable of handling the task. Not to mention, there is also a group of elves left behind."

Heavenly Sin True Ruler: "Where's Jenny?"

Chu Fei: "There is no subordinate relationship between me and Jenny. If you want Jenny to stay, you'll have to ask her yourself."

Jenny, the goddess of nature, is currently only doing alright in her studies. She has mastered the cultivation of big data, but she's only at level 24.0, which is still inferior to Liliat.

If the goddess of nature wants to learn big data cultivation, she must first negate her past foundation. It's not about a complete overhaul, but it will certainly have some impact. She can barely manage her own cultivation, let alone scientific research.

However, the Heavenly Sin True Ruler, wanting to retain the Goddess of Nature, first sought to communicate with Chu Fei. This wasn't to instruct Chu Fei to oppress the Goddess of Nature, but rather to show respect for Chu Fei—to talk things over before poaching someone. This demonstrates Chu Fei's elevated status.

After Tianzui Zhenzai communicated with the Goddess of Nature, he stopped insisting on it.

Several months later, the fleet set sail. Finally, it was time to go home.

As the fleet accelerated, the Goddess of Nature found Chu Fei and said with a hint of smugness, "As expected, as long as you're good enough to be useless, no one can bother you."

Chu Fei rolled his eyes and remained silent. The former goddess of nature was very aloof, but now she was revealing her true nature, looking rather silly.

However, the elves have been doing quite well lately. Although the Heavenly Sin True Ruler is the mother tree of the dark elves, he has still taken care of them to some extent.

A year and a half later, the fleet traversed the distance that had taken decades to cover, and once again emerged from Changqingtian. Behind the fleet followed countless cultivators from Changqingtian, who took advantage of the fleet's ability to tear through the crystal barrier to escape.

Chu Fei looked at the tail behind him, shook his head, and said nothing.

These guys might think that once they escaped Changqingtian, they were free to roam the world, but they don't realize how dangerous the outside world is. Without a powerful force to rely on, even saints are cannon fodder. The original Yuanyang Daozun was almost hunted down and killed by the so-called Three Heroes of Changningtian.

Now that Daoist Yuanyang has become powerful, he hasn't left the fleet. It's not that he doesn't want to seek revenge on the Three Heroes, but he's even more afraid of leaving the fleet and becoming a lone wolf again.

However, Chu Fei didn't say anything, just watched the show. On the outskirts of Changqingtian, there was a hidden accretion disk area, where many divine beasts, magical beasts, monsters, and cultivators lived. The cultivators, in particular, were a complex group; some were friendly, some were tyrannical, and some would immediately turn on their prey if they saw you as weak.

The fleet did not slow down, and Chu Fei did not intervene. As the old saying goes, put aside your desire to help others, respect their fate, and just watch what they do.

After the fleet completely separated from Changqingtian, Chu Fei arrived at a room on the flagship and met "Xi Tele," who was eating and drinking there for free.

"Hi." Xi Tele immediately stood up, a humble smile on his face. He was as arrogant as he had been before, and as humble as he was now. Even when greeting someone, he bowed slightly, his back bent, and his wings were tightly folded.

Oh my god, this is terrifying! It's so scary that it might scare a demon to death.

Who understands these demons? It's only been a few years. Back then, Chu Fei was just a nobody. But when I went into seclusion, my own Ziwei Saint dragged me out halfway and gave me away as a gift. I almost got a little red flower tied to my head.

Chu Fei looked at the ingratiating Xi Tele and smiled slightly, "As long as the direction is confirmed to be correct, I will not only let you leave, but also give you a huge fortune. To be honest, there is no irreconcilable hatred between us. Although there was a conflict in the past, it was someone who took the initiative to call you, not you who took revenge."

Xi Tele was overjoyed: "Thank you, Master, thank you for your magnanimity. I..."

Chu Fei waved his hand. The demon is indeed a demon; even though he's a saint, he still keeps calling himself "this humble servant."

Of course, Chu Fei understood this situation. If he were in the other party's position, facing a total of more than 20 million saints, he would probably be in a similar situation.

These thoughts flashed through his mind, and Chu Fei slowly said, "Now you have two choices. After arriving at the Temple of the God of War, you can leave or stay."

If you leave, I will give you a million Jade Discs of Creation, which should be enough for you to live a carefree life until the end of time.

"Stay, and you must swear allegiance, sing the national anthem, and obey our commands. In return, I will offer you the opportunity to become a Great Dao Saint, and even some data on the Purple Star Saint."

"I'll stay!" Xi Tele said without hesitation. A thought flashed through Xi Tele's mind: any hesitation, however slight, would be disrespectful to the twenty million saints.

Why leave? Are you going to be captured again to be refined into pills or used as a gift? Without strength, the more treasures you have, the more dangerous it becomes!
Staying is so much better! There are twenty million sages, and the number is still increasing rapidly. It even offers the opportunity to become a Great Dao Sage, a chance to even approach the threshold of the Purple Star Sage. This is a truly secure job.

Moreover, according to the Rising Dragon Fleet, the current number of over 20 million Saints is the result of active suppression. It's not that they don't want more experts, but rather that everyone is researching better cultivation methods, and many people frequently re-establish their cultivation. According to Xi Tele's observation, if those who re-established their cultivation are included, the number of Saint-level experts at the 25.0 level in the fleet is no less than 30 million! Those at the 26.0 level are also beginning to experience explosive growth.

Chu Fei nodded slightly, inquired again about the direction and Xi Tele's perception in detail, and then left. He left a promise: as long as the direction is correct, he will guarantee you a Great Dao Saint. The current Rising Dragon Fleet is qualified to do so.

The fleet continued its frantic advance, now reaching speeds of five hundred times the speed of light. The fleet of over twenty million saints was truly unstoppable. Everyone they encountered along the way greeted them with smiles; they were all kind people.

After more than thirty years of this frenzied speed, traversing a distance of 1.6 light-years, the fleet finally detected the familiar signal.

The signal was based on an older technology. Although it was encrypted, the fleet quickly deciphered it and delivered the information to Chu Fei: "It's a distress signal from the Temple of War! They're asking for help from an 'Eternal Pantheon - Sky-Splitting God.'"

Chu Fei's eyes lit up.

The Temple of War's distress signal. They've truly found their way home!

And being able to call for help means that they are still alive.

But after receiving more signals, Chu Fei gradually fell silent.

The signal they've discovered is from two hundred years ago. This means the fleet is two hundred light-years away from where the distress signal originated.

Is it too late to get there now?
They found their way home, but things didn't look good at the beginning.

After a brief discussion, the fleet's high command decided to dispatch the express fleet!
The latest spaceship technology has exceeded a thousand times the speed of light. Although the spaceship is a bit small and is experimental, it can easily accommodate several hundred saints.

Less than an hour after the signal was detected, the three experimental vessels vanished into the vast void.

But just a month later, signals returned, and two spaceships had malfunctioned and disintegrated en route. The passengers, all saints, were unharmed; they were simply floating in space, but they activated their cultivation and personal equipment, continuing their journey towards their goal.

The sage's own speed was already more than ten times the speed of light. However, compared to a spaceship, it was still somewhat inferior.

Only one spaceship remained, carrying 300 level 25.0 experts and 6 level 26.0 experts, continuing its relentless advance. Two and a half months later, the spaceship successfully arrived at a battlefield littered with corpses! (End of Chapter)
