"you----"
Luo Yunru really didn't know what to say.
She stared at Ye Yang for three seconds before saying with a mixture of helplessness and admiration, "You are indeed extraordinary."
"In the state of soul resonance, you should be able to sense that I have no ill intentions; I genuinely wish to unite with you. Once you become my Daoist partner, you can use all the resources that Falling Star Constellation has accumulated over the years."
"But since you've made this choice, I'll be frank with you."
Luo Yunru stared at Ye Yang: "Actually, aren't you the No.0.1 candidate to take charge of [042 Gate of All Heavens]?"
Ye Yang remained noncommittal: "Oh? What do you mean?"
Luo Yunru said with a wry look in her eyes, "The ranking is too low."
Seeing Ye Yang's questioning gaze, she explained, "We are special. Our true spirits are intertwined, which means we share the same connection window at the [Gate of All Heavens], so the scale and level of the instance worlds we resonate with are the same."
"They are all level 10, each representing an infinite universe."
Ye Yang's pupils contracted; everything Luo Yunru said shocked him as well.
How does she know so much?
What exactly is her identity?
"Don't worry, don't be nervous."
Luo Yunru deliberately softened her tone and said, "Now, your existence has caught the attention of all the Celestial Venerables, and you are one of the main forces of the Immortal Alliance in fighting against the Void Plague. If we are not confident that we can kill you with one blow and bear the subsequent wrath from the higher-ups of the Immortal Alliance, no one in the Immortal Alliance will take action against you, including me."
"Even the methods of the Transcendent and the Void Cult couldn't harm you, so I certainly can't touch you. You've already established yourself as a formidable force, and after ascending to immortality, your power will be unparalleled. Therefore, I treat you as an equal and invite you to cooperate with me."
"The Milky Way is too small, the universe is too large, and the myriad realms are boundless and endless."
"I have no intention of competing with you for the position of leader of [042 Gate of the Heavens]. In fact, I will do my best to help you complete all the prerequisite tasks."
I can't go into the specifics within the Star River Array's range; we can discuss it in detail in a separate instance world after you ascend.
Ye Yang narrowed his eyes. After listening to her words, Ye Yang thought of something.
He tentatively asked, "006?"
A hint of surprise flashed in Luo Yunru's eyes as she looked at Ye Yang and said, "You're going to purify Ziteng University and your home planet, right? I'll escort you from here."
Although Luo Yunru did not respond, that was a response in itself.
"Because she had already said that I couldn't go into details within the range of the Star River Array."
Escorted by Luo Yunru, Ye Yang finally returned to his alma mater, Ziteng University, after many years.
Looking at this incredibly familiar starry sky, he couldn't help but feel a surge of emotions.
"If I hadn't come here, I wouldn't have met my master, and I wouldn't have achieved what I have today."
A hint of nostalgia flashed in Ye Yang's eyes, but he had already arrived near Zi Teng Star.
The blazing star ceaselessly releases light and heat, along with abundant spiritual energy, supporting the operation of the massive array within the star system.
However, compared to the clear starry sky before, countless dark clouds now float in the orbit near Ziteng Star.
Those were countless void mycelia flakes that were frantically and greedily absorbing the energy released by the star, almost completely obscuring the light of Ziteng Star.
It is estimated that it will not be long before this star is completely obscured, isolating it from the outside world, and the Zi Teng True Immortal, whose soul and the Great Dao are entrusted to it, will also suffer.
No wonder he was in such a hurry before.
"Greetings, True Immortal Ziteng." Ye Yang greeted him.
The Purple Vine Immortal was startled by the sudden greeting. Upon seeing who it was, he immediately transformed into light, and countless plasma clouds converged to form a human phantom.
"Fellow Daoist Minghong, Lord Luoxingxing, I am truly sorry for not welcoming you sooner—" True Immortal Ziteng hurriedly said.
"We'll start expelling the void fungi from the Ziteng star system now, but we'll need your cooperation, Ziteng, to break the spacetime blockade there later," Ye Yang said.
"Of course, of course," said True Immortal Ziteng with a delighted expression.
He was truly driven to despair by these clumps of void fungi. If he hadn't fought back with all his might, accelerating the star fusion reaction and constantly bombarding the void fungi in space, these things would have already invaded the interior of the star.
In fact, occasionally, spores of Void Fungi fall into the Purple Star Photosphere and begin to grow and expand.
It was only when the Purple Vine True Immortal unleashed a solar flare that ejected a large amount of gas that these mycelia were expelled.
"I'll pack up and seal the large clusters of void mycelium, but the scattered, hidden fungi are up to you," Luo Yunru said.
Ye Yang nodded and immediately caused the fungal fruiting bodies to burst open, turning into countless mycelia that scattered.
Soon, the crisis of the True Immortal Ziteng was resolved, and the Ziteng Star System, which was covered with "black clouds", was transformed into a state of "golden mist".
Click click~~
The ripples in spacetime carried the sound of breaking, and the spacetime blockade of the Purple Vine Realm was thus broken.
Ye Yang saw that the teachers and students of Ziteng University on this planet were still in chaos.
Black mycelium danced in the air, and even the protective magic power of a Void Realm cultivator could not stop the invasion of the void fungal spores. Even a Body Tempering cultivator at the Vajra Realm, with a powerful body, could not eliminate the parasitic mycelium in their body.
At this moment, the Void Fungus was no longer hidden and erupted in full force, naturally shocking and horrifying everyone. They were terrified to realize that they had been parasitized by the alien species, and they were unable to eliminate or expel it by any means, which led to despair.
The Immortal Alliance's website displayed a notice that the entire galaxy had entered a state of emergency, and social media was filled with fear and despair.
Just then, golden snowflakes suddenly fell from the sky, staining the world.
A sudden, inexplicable, and terrifying disaster then just as suddenly and inexplicably disappeared.
The cultivators in the Purple Vine Realm looked at each other in bewilderment, wondering what had happened.
"Huh? Standard time has been updated!"
Someone suddenly noticed the anomaly: devices connected to the Immortal Alliance's main network were experiencing massive data updates.
"The Void Plague—has our time stopped for so long?"
"Master Minghong—purification—so that's how it is! It was that golden snowfall that saved us."
More and more people are realizing the truth and are wondering who this "Master Minghong" is, that he has become the main force in dealing with a star system-level disaster with his sixth-level cultivation.
"Aren't you going to show yourself and say a few words to these younger generations?" True Immortal Ziteng asked Ye Yang, looking at the planet below that was gradually returning to order.
"No need," Ye Yang shook his head. "This is enough."
He looked at the True Immortal Ziteng: "On my way to the Ziteng Star System, I was attacked by the protectors of the Void Sect."
Zi Teng Zhenxian was stunned, and his expression changed drastically.
"So, who provided you with the information before?" Ye Yang smiled.
By raising the banner of opposing the Void Cult's spies, Ye Yang successfully extracted information from True Immortal Zi Teng about the existence of the person who dared to make trouble behind his back.
He is a veteran Star Lord, but Ye Yang doesn't know if he has anyone backing him.
As a special-level inspector, he directly reported this person to the "Special Emergency Action Committee for the Void Disaster of the Immortal Alliance".
Whether this guy is truly a spy for the Void Cult or is just making trouble for his own benefit, facing the investigation by the Special Emergency Operations Committee, he'll probably be severely injured, if not killed.
Ye Yang then stopped paying attention.
He looked down at the familiar mountains and cities of Ziteng Realm, reminiscing about the past, and a slight smile appeared on his lips.
"I'm gone." Ye Yang's figure dispersed into countless golden mycelium strands, and his main consciousness transferred away.
At this moment, gasps of surprise erupted from within the Purple Vine Realm.
The reason is that, at the behest of the True Immortal Ziteng, the official website of Ziteng University created a page for Ye Yang to promote his achievements in the Void Plague.
The students, who were grateful to the mysterious powerful figure, were astonished to discover that the powerful figure actually came from their own school.
"That senior Minghong is actually our senior from school?"
-
They immediately felt proud and became Ye Yang's biggest fans.
Several lecturers or professors also remembered this somewhat special student they had taught before. At the time, they felt sorry for Ye Yang when they learned about his situation. He clearly had excellent comprehension and aptitude, but his potential in dungeons was too low, so he could only end up in the Immortal Martial Arts Department.
At the time, it was undoubtedly a case of a pearl being tarnished.
But in the blink of an eye, in less than 300 years, Ye Yang had reached a height that they could not even look up to.
"Back then, I even taught him a semester of illusion magic. His grades were among the best in several classes, no less than those of students majoring in illusion magic in the Mind Refining Department."
"He even consulted me on questions about the Dao."
A group of teachers were discussing what happened back then.
Yang Xuji, however, sat quietly to the side, lost in thought.
"Hey? Old Yang, I remember you were the one who specially recruited Ye Yang that year, right?"
"Why haven't I seen you showing off? That's not like you at all."
Several lecturers smiled and looked at Yang Xuji.
"Oh, it's nothing. It's nothing really, just something I did on a whim back then," Yang Xuji said, shaking his head and smiling as he came to his senses.
Then he looked at a tree-shaped golden pattern on his palm.
He recalled the line of words that had just come into his view:
"Teacher Yang, it's been a long time. I send my greetings on behalf of my master. The days to come will be turbulent, so I took the liberty of leaving a secret rune on your hand. It can protect you with just a touch of magic, and only a true immortal can break it."
"Only a true immortal can break through this barrier—" Yang Xuji sighed, "My progress has been slow over the years, but that young man with a bleak future has reached this point. It's truly unimaginable."
Meanwhile, Ye Yang's attention turned to Luo Yunru, who was heading towards Ling Shu Star.
"So your true spirit was reincarnated in this place? Judging by the direction, it's not bad."
Luo Yunru glanced at Yin Xin, then looked at Ye Yang's fungal fruiting body beside her: "There are some traces of the Void Cult lurking here. They're very fresh. It seems they just retreated."
"Heh." Ye Yang sneered: "It seems that the Void Sect's rats were just testing the waters. You are considered a True Monarch-level combatant. You made a move when they intercepted my sub-body. They probably thought you were one of the pawns that the Immortal Alliance's higher-ups had placed in two places that I care about."
"So it's perfectly normal for them to hastily withdraw the forces that were lying in ambush in my home star system."
Luo Yunru tilted her head slightly and smiled, "You thought I was just a casual pawn? Am I really not?"
Ye Yang was taken aback.
Luo Yunru smiled and said, "Although I volunteered, the high-level meeting did take notice of this."
-
Ye Yang nodded. It seemed that the Immortal Alliance not only had no shortage of strategists, but also possessed considerable strength in the face of this "Void Plague".
Currently, only the main world galaxy has entered a state of emergency. Despite the mobilization of millions of True Immortal troops and the large number of Star Lords and True Lords running around, it's still a significant situation.
The main force of the troops stationed in important positions, such as the True Lord of the Source River World, did not return to defend.
If it weren't for the fact that it's related to the "All-Heavens Era Project," the higher-ups of the Immortal Alliance wouldn't have reacted so violently to the Void Plague.
"Greetings to Lord Falling Star and Fellow Daoist Ming Hong."
A true immortal led more than twenty planetary immortals to greet the two.
"Unlock the spacetime blockade of each colony and release my mycelium onto each planet." Ye Yang spoke directly, his body dispersing into a large number of mycelium, which fell into the hands of 10 planetary immortals.
These immortals ascended to planets with molten cores, which were actually mostly artificial planets designed to breed people.
In many habitable star systems, 10 habitable planets are typically placed within the habitable zone.
In Ye Yang's hometown, the Heng system, there are also 10 colony stars.
"I will then clear away the large clusters of void fungi in space," Luo Yunru said.
Ten planetary immortals carried Ye Yang's mycelium to their respective planets.
In a sense, these immortals who ascended to the planets are like local deities. It is extremely difficult for them to continue cultivating and improving, and they also lack resources. On ordinary days, they manage the various planets in the star system on behalf of the true immortals.
With everything in place, Ye Yang began purifying not only Ling Shu Star, but also the other nine planets simultaneously.
The Immortal Alliance's temporary ceasefire agreement with the Transcendent One of the conditions it secured was that Ye Yang's purification speed could reach up to purify 10 planets simultaneously.
Therefore, this will not prematurely break the agreement.
During each purification, Ye Yang noticed the subtle actions the Transcendent was taking by manipulating the Void Fungus.
"This guy has probably already taken over trillions of alternate personalities, right?"
Ye Yang thought to himself, looking at the inhabitants of the various planets with a sense of helplessness in his eyes.
They had no idea that while the "self" in their original body was saved, another "self" was captured and taken to an unknown world, where their cognition was altered and their emotions were controlled.
Then, when not needed, it's sealed away; when needed, it's used day and night with high spirits and "passionate" thinking, thinking, thinking—
The individualistic social structure of the "Information Ascendants" is indeed a subversion of the traditional group civilization.
"The best way to save those alternate personalities is to kill them and completely eliminate the Superhuman."
Ye Yang murmured to himself, while the 10 inhabited planets, including Ling Shu Star, had already been purified.
Just as everyone on Ling Shu Star was celebrating, the immortal who controlled Ling Shu Star flew up somewhat nervously.
This is a tall, slender female fairy.
"Senior, this is a list and evidence compiled from the planetary network database. All the people who harassed, spread rumors, and disseminated false information about you and your family in the past are on this list."
She said it very respectfully.
