metaverse evolution.

After seeing off Daoist Ziyun, Chu Fei warmly received Divine Venerable Liekong, and then made handovers with various parties of the Yanhuang Civilization. This handover, of course, revolved around the Ascending Dragon Fleet.

Chu Fei merely exchanged perfunctory official pleasantries with Shangguan Qinghong and said nothing more. The past was the past; now he was a supreme Dao Saint.

After a brief exchange, Chu Fei and the representatives of the Yanhuang civilization established their respective relationships, responsibilities, and statuses, and the Rising Dragon Fleet subsequently stabilized.

After such a long period of fighting, there are plenty of desolate continents around; the Rising Dragon Fleet can simply seize a few.

What? You're saying that's not the desolate continent, but the territory of the supernatural faction? Well, sorry, from today onwards, this place belongs to the Yanhuang civilization, and we've joined the supernatural faction.

After the Rising Dragon Fleet was secured, Chu Fei once again invited the Sky-Splitting God to negotiate. Forget about the fourth seat; with the current strength of our Yanhuang civilization, who dares to prevent us from sitting there?

The God of Rending Sky was somewhat dissatisfied with this conversation, but facing the more than 20 million saints behind Chu Fei, he had no choice but to put on a bright smile and say that you are right.

Chu Fei, after seeing off the Sky-Splitting God, sighed slightly. Not only would joining their ranks require a pledge of loyalty, but the Superego faction would certainly not let the matter rest.

Furthermore, the supernatural faction has some unspoken rules, such as the top core members needing to allocate 30% of their power to the battle, the secondary core members 40%, and the rest 50%; those not at the core level should be given as much blood as possible!

In other words, the Yanhuang civilization still needed to allocate 40% of its overall strength to the war. Of the 20 million sages, 8 million needed to support the battlefield. There were also various warships, and so on.

However, Chu Fei's terms of negotiation with the Sky-Splitting God were not based on personnel, but on the outcome of the war.

Providing people to go there is like providing leeks for others to harvest. Those 20 million sages of the Yanhuang civilization must be making later Ziwei sages drool.

To this end, Chu Fei negotiated another condition—military merits. Based on battlefield merits, as long as the Yanhuang civilization's military merits were equal to the average military merits of the other secondary core forces, it would suffice.

Finally, because the Rising Dragon Fleet had just arrived and needed to reorganize, Chu Fei, based on his strength, secured a hundred years for recuperation. During this period, the supernatural factions would also send representatives to learn (supervise), but who exactly would be sent remained to be seen.

With a gun in hand and no fear in his heart, Chu Fei didn't care about the supernatural faction at all. A hundred years of recuperation would be enough for the entire Yanhuang civilization to experience a technological breakthrough.

Currently, within the Rising Dragon Fleet, all the big data cultivators with saint-level potential have been pushed to their limits. Those remaining have very little potential left. While it's true that big data cultivation doesn't require aptitude, this is only in theory.

However, the War God Temple, the Heavenly Temple, the Martial God Temple, and other temples now have a larger population and more potential. Chu Fei believes that in a hundred years, they can probably cultivate tens of millions more saints.

By then, perhaps the Yanhuang civilization will be qualified to engage in equal dialogue with the Ziwei Sage.

How many saints are there in the other world?
Preliminary assessment suggests that a small world may contain three to five saints, with a maximum of ten—nine saints at the Saintly Rank and one saint who has attained the Dao. More precisely, there are nine pseudo-saints and one true saint. However, even the pseudo-saints possess strong foundations and are potential candidates for sainthood.

Over countless years, the total number of saints in the inner world is probably uncountable. Saints are seen as lofty and unattainable by ordinary people, but in the eyes of truly powerful beings, they are just ordinary people.

This is easy to understand. We think the sun is everything. But in the universe, there are countless suns, and many more celestial bodies that are even more extreme than the sun. The situation of a sage is similar to this.

However, considering the mutual hunting and killing among saints over the years, the total number of saints in the inner world is now around two to three trillion. The two major factions each account for a quarter, and the remaining half consists of independent cultivators, etc. But in terms of combat power, the two major factions account for 70% or more.

Especially since both camps have the Purple Star Saint, ordinary rogue saints are completely unable to resist. The occasional instances of them banding together are not for mutual support, but more like for mutual comfort—Big brother, I'm going to die; Third brother, don't panic, let's die together, come on, drink this bowl of Meng Po soup.

This is the rule of the inner world; everything is "food" for the Purple Star Sage.

As time went by, Chu Fei was quite busy. First, he returned to the surface world.

Within the surface world, after adjusting his basic parameters and adapting to its laws, Chu Fei's movement speed increased dramatically to five or six hundred times the speed of light. Furthermore, utilizing the interstellar passage established by the Yanhuang civilization within the surface world, his speed became even faster.

The surface world is in chaos. With the sage initiating the harvesting mode, numerous cosmic behemoths have appeared, all originating from the inner world. The Yanhuang civilization is no exception.

Chu Fei first arrived at the Tianjiang Star Cluster, where development was quite good; although some cosmic behemoths had appeared, they were nothing more than easy prey delivered to the door by the technological power of the Yanhuang civilization.

Afterwards, Chu Fei went to the Sun, Moon and Star Cluster, where he saw Qingxuan Zhenjun, who had begun his secluded cultivation.

The former True Monarch Qingxuan was a Golden Immortal who had let himself go. Now, he had barely reached the level of a Great Luo Golden Immortal, yet within the Yanhuang civilization, he was just another ordinary person. Upon seeing Chu Fei again, True Monarch Qingxuan managed a weak smile, and the two exchanged no further words. The gap between them was too vast.

Then Chu Fei looked at his pet She Yu, and there was no change; it had completely become a pet.

However, Chu Fei focused his attention on the artificial intelligence "Lin Yu". Now Chu Fei has some thoughts on this AI. The birth of Lin Yu may be a coincidence, but the reasons behind it are not so simple.

The more he came into contact with things, the more Chu Fei realized how extraordinary it was to create life.

It was incredibly difficult for the chaotic mythical beast Pixiu and the chaotic troll Moworth to awaken sentience. The fact that Lin Yu could suddenly develop sentience also warrants much study.

While Chu Fei has made some breakthroughs in his research on spiritual intelligence, believing it to be an alternative grand model, the most fundamental question—where does spiritual intelligence originate—remain unknown. Chu Fei feels that Lin Yu's appearance might explain this, but further research is needed.

The most important thing here in the Sun, Moon, and Star Cluster is the Expeditionary Force. The Expeditionary Force has been gone for over four hundred years, and according to communications, they have reached the core of the Milky Way, where a large number of strange and unusual life forms exist.

In the core region of the Milky Way, the average distance between stars is only about 2 light-years. They interact intensely, and a large number of stars also emit strong electromagnetic and radiation environments, forming an ocean of energy.

Life forms discovered here include nebular life, electromagnetic life, interstellar behemoths, and a large number of carbon-based life forms, as well as powerful civilizations.

Nebula life forms, which can be several light-years in size, are generally dull-witted, mainly because their signal transmission is too slow—comparable to sloths.

However, a very few powerful nebula life forms have managed to establish gravitational string communication and even quantum communication within their bodies. However, these life forms are generally very fragile and can be interfered with or destroyed through methods such as electromagnetic pulses.

Electromagnetic life forms, especially smaller ones, can survive in magnetic field environments such as large gas giants, primarily in relatively stable planetary environments. Some larger electromagnetic life forms, however, can reach volumes of tens or hundreds of millions of kilometers and wander in the void.

There is no clear boundary between large electromagnetic life forms and nebula life forms. Or perhaps nebula life forms are simply advanced electromagnetic life forms.

However, both nebular and electromagnetic life forms are extremely rare. Some cannot even be determined to be life forms; it can only be determined that they are not simple combinations of life forms.

Then there are the cosmic behemoths, many of which seem to have descended from the inner world. Unfortunately, the laws, environment, and energy of the surface world are insufficient to support these life forms, making many of the cosmic behemoths appear very weak.

Of course, this weakness is relative, relative to a big data cultivator at level 20.0. If we consider the upper limit of the surface world as 16.0, these cosmic behemoths are incredibly powerful.

Unfortunately, the Yanhuang civilization was somewhat unique, and these cosmic behemoths were hunted down in large numbers.

Then there are the various civilizations. The exploration fleet will also have friendly exchanges with friendly civilizations; but if there are more unfriendly civilizations, the exploration fleet will also let them feel a bit of the enthusiasm from the Yanhuang civilization.

During their long interstellar exploration, the fleet acquired a vast amount of data and unimaginable knowledge. This knowledge was ultimately transmitted as data to the Sun and Moon Star Cluster, and is now also flowing into Chu Fei's database.

However, in this endless exploration, the fleet also suffered many losses, which was unavoidable.

Chu Fei stayed in the Sun and Moon Cluster for a few days, then left his clone to handle matters there, while his main body headed straight for the Large Magellanic Cloud.

Compared to Shangguan Qinghong, with whom he had a "target relationship," Chu Fei missed Wei Qingyu more. A thousand years had passed since their last meeting; he wondered how Wei Qingyu was doing.

The Sun, Moon, and Star Cluster have already established transportation links with the Large Magellanic Cloud. However, the distance is too great, and transportation is not very frequent.

For two regions to exchange ideas, there needs to be a sufficient supply of goods. However, in reality, their technologies are roughly the same; whatever you can manufacture, I can also manufacture, resulting in virtually no commercial exchange. Currently, the most frequent exchanges between the two sides are academic.

Using current interstellar channels, it only takes a little over a month to travel from the Sun and Moon clusters to the Large Magellanic Cloud.

Chu Fei met the incredibly wealthy Wei Qingyu. Wei Qingyu was now the queen of the entire Large Magellanic Cloud, ruling over the Yanhuang bloodline, multiple elf races, dwarves, demon races, and various low- to mid-level gods and demons.

Today, the Large Magellanic Cloud has become a vibrant place of spiritual practice centered around the Yanhuang civilization, where diverse schools of thought flourish. The main focus is on big data cultivation and the Yanhuang civilization itself, followed by cultivation practices based on the Chinese language, and then magic, among others.

Unlike Shangguan Qinghong, Wei Qingyu waited for Chu Fei for over a thousand years. When Chu Fei left, Wei Qingyu took on an important task: to transform the Large Magellanic Cloud into a retreat route for the Yanhuang civilization.

It looks fine now, and it seems unnecessary. But Chu Fei still reminded Wei Qingyu to be careful.

A few strange creatures also appeared in the Large Magellanic Cloud, but they have been cleared out.

Chu Fei spent more than ten years in the Great Magellanic Cloud, helping Wei Qingyu consolidate her cultivation and sorting out the cultivation and technology situation there. After that, he had to bid farewell to Wei Qingyu.

There are still many things to do, and we've reached a critical moment; we can't let our guard down. As the most important person and top expert of the Yanhuang Civilization, Chu Fei is under immense pressure, especially after receiving the emergency signal from the Inner World.

They hurriedly returned to the Inner World, back to the Temple of War. As expected, the Superego faction, sensing betrayal, launched an attack on the Yanhuang civilization.

At this time, it had been less than thirty years since the Rising Dragon Fleet arrived at the Temple of War God. There were still seventy years left until the hundred-year recuperation period agreed upon by Chu Fei and the God of Rending the Sky.

But that's how war is; it's never up to me to decide what to do, and we also have to consider the enemy's plans.

The supernatural faction that the Yanhuang civilization had just allied with only sent one person—the Sky-Splitting God. That's right, the Sky-Splitting God has returned with his subordinates.

Upon seeing Chu Fei again, the Sky-Splitting God Venerable was a little embarrassed. "Chu Fei, it's not that we don't want to provide support, it's just that we can't spare any more combat power."

Of course, we will increase the pressure from other battlefields, using the "besieging Wei to rescue Zhao" strategy in your tactics to reduce some of the pressure on you.

Regardless, the space you're in is outside our own territory, making it inconvenient for us to provide full support.

Chu Fei smiled and said, "Actually, the fact that you were able to send us war intelligence ten years in advance is already the greatest help we could receive."

I need to get back to work. This is the first time the Yanhuang civilization has faced off directly against a super-self faction, so we need to prepare thoroughly.

The God of Rending Sky pressed further, "How confident are you?"

Chu Fei pondered for a moment and then asked, "When you ask about the certainty of victory, do you mean annihilating the enemy completely?"

God of Rending the Sky: ...

Is the Yanhuang civilization really that arrogant?

According to the intelligence sent by the God of Rending the Void, the Superego faction, for the sake of face, directly mobilized over a hundred Great Dao Saints, 100,000 Heavenly Dao Saints, and over eight million Low-level Saints! They also deployed various array flags, innate magic treasures, and so on. This was their trump card—the so-called reserve force.

If the two camps didn't have an equal number of Ziwei Saints, who were monitoring and confronting each other, they might have had to use the Ziwei Saints this time.

As for the Ascending Dragon Palace, although it has more than 20 million Saints in total, it only has one Great Dao Saint, that is, a Saint at the 26.0 level, Chu Fei.

The Yanhuang civilization produced tens of millions of sages due to its unique science and technology. However, the fact that only Chu Fei reached the 26.0 realm is because the history of the Yanhuang civilization was ultimately too short.

The biggest flaw of the Yanhuang civilization was its severely insufficient time for development.

For example, Chu Fei originally planned to cultivate a batch of sages over a hundred years. But now the time is too short, and the cultivation plan has failed.

However, even if the God of Rift wanted to help with the upcoming wars of the Yanhuang civilization, he was powerless to do so.

The supernatural faction has not yet fully accepted the sudden defection of the Yanhuang civilization, especially since the Yanhuang civilization has not yet submitted its pledge of allegiance. Providing assistance now could lead to being betrayed, something that has happened before; though rare, each instance has left a deep impression.

Furthermore, the Yanhuang civilization already boasts over 20 million sages and is developing rapidly, causing some wariness among the higher-ups of the supernatural faction. Therefore, it would be beneficial to deplete some of the Yanhuang civilization's elite forces.

Between civilizations, there has never been any etiquette or morality, only interests and blatant calculations.

Time passed day by day. Ten years is nothing more than the time it takes for a sage to take a nap, but for the Yanhuang civilization, it was ten years of all-out preparation for war.

Ten years later, the "Face-Seeking Legion" from the Superego faction arrived in this void in a grand procession.

The Yanhuang civilization was originally located in the territory of the super-self camp. Although it was close to the front line, it was ultimately not the front line.

Strictly speaking, after the Yanhuang civilization allied with the supernatural faction, the area where the Yanhuang civilization was located was more like an enclave. This also resulted in insufficient support from the supernatural faction.

However, since the Yanhuang civilization dared to "switch sides," it must have considered these factors. The retaliatory attack from the superego faction was entirely within their expectations.

When the mighty army of saints finally appeared at the forefront, Chu Fei once again approached the Sky-Splitting God Venerable and said in an arrogant tone, "Fellow Daoist, let's go. I'll show you a different kind of war and let you experience the charm of industry." (End of Chapter)
