Chapter 2228: Breaking the Balance

After Ye Liuyun had been in power for a while, more and more Martial Cultivators voluntarily went to the Alien Battlefield to fight, with no need for Ye Liuyun or the Ten Thousand Gods Alliance to force them.

Thus, the entire Divine Realm entered a period of rapid development and stability.

While Ye Liuyun's cultivation realm was advancing, the realms of Martial Cultivators across the lands were also rising.

Especially after more Teleportation Arrays were built, resource flow and Martial Cultivator movement became more frequent, gradually balancing the strength of the Central Region with the rest.

The number of Martial Cultivators traveling to the Alien Battlefield kept increasing, causing the populations of the various Alien Battlefield Bases to surge.

For a time, the opposing Foreign Tribe was beaten by Human Martial Cultivators so badly they dared not leave their cities.

Because, under Ye Liuyun's guidance, the whole Divine Realm actively resisted the Foreign Tribe, the original balance of the Alien Battlefield was shattered.

This was good for the Ten Thousand Gods Alliance, but the Foreign Tribe stopped.

They threatened the Ten Thousand Gods Alliance: either control the numbers on the Alien Battlefield, or shut down the Trial Battlefield and meet on the real Alien Battlefield.

The Ten Thousand Gods Alliance immediately went to negotiate with Ye Liuyun about the Foreign Tribe's protest.

「What is there to negotiate? 」

「Then we'll see each other on the battlefield! 」

Ye Liuyun felt he could not indulge these Foreign Tribes.

This time the one who came to discuss with Ye Liuyun was the Ten Thousand Gods Alliance's Vice Alliance Leader, Zhang Lingquan.

「But our strength doesn't allow it! 」

Zhang Lingquan assumed Ye Liuyun was unaware of the situation.

Ye Liuyun had just begun ruling the Divine Realm, full of vigor, so he could understand.

Thus, he began to explain the entire situation of the Foreign Tribe's invasion to Ye Liuyun.

「The battlefield where we truly clash with the Foreign Tribe actually exists in more than just our world.

You come from the Mortal Realm, so you may not know much about Divine Realm affairs.

In fact, there are many other high-level worlds like the Divine Realm. 」

When Zhang Lingquan reached this point, he had expected Ye Liuyun to be surprised, but Ye Liuyun showed no reaction at all.

Instead, Ye Liuyun, seeing him pause, nodded cooperatively: 「I know all this! 」

「Then do you know that our Divine Realm, compared with other worlds, is merely a small island? 」

Zhang Lingquan asked again.

「I already know that; just say what you want to say! 」

Ye Liuyun didn't want to hear his showing off.

The Book Demon had already taken him to see these circumstances, and even to a largest Xingqiu to investigate on site,

so in his eyes, he had long possessed a deep understanding of this world and a broader perspective.

Although he did not want to admit that the Divine Realm, as he saw it, was merely an outer island destined to become a stepping stone for the Foreign Tribe's invasion, the fact remained so.

「You… how did you know? 」

Now it was Zhang Lingquan who was surprised.

「I have been to that complete Great Planetary World! 」

Ye Liuyun replied calmly.

Zhang Lingquan's mouth opened wide in astonishment.

They couldn't figure out how Ye Liuyun went, but from Ye Liuyun's description, they indeed went there.

how Ye Liuyun got there, but from Ye Liuyun's description, he indeed had been there.

Just the phrase 「complete Great Planetary World」 isn't something an unacquainted person would utter.

Zhang Lingquan was astonished for a long while before he regained his composure.

He said excitedly, 「Since you know, it's much easier to explain! Then you must also know that the Alien Battlefield is not only ours. 」

If we don't meet the Foreign Tribe's demands, they will reinforce us from other battlefields and fight us on the real battlefield.

The real battlefield is also a nearby island in Xingkong; if we fail to hold it, the Divine Realm will be invaded immediately. 」

Zhang Lingquan said this, then paused, thinking he had clarified the stakes with Ye Liuyun.

Ye Liuyun, seeing him fall silent again, urged, 「Please continue! 」

Zhang Lingquan replied puzzled, 「What else is there to say! Isn't it obvious? 」

「We are already on the brink of collapse; if more Foreign Tribes come, can we withstand them? 」

Ye Liuyun smiled helplessly, then retorted, 「So you think the Foreign Tribe has the power to destroy us yet hasn't acted?

Are they kindly letting us strengthen ourselves? 」

Zhang Lingquan, hearing this, also said, 「Yes, your speculation might be possible.

But even if we defeat the Foreign Tribe, they will still send more people.

Then we still won't be able to hold out, right? 」

Ye Liuyun retorted, 「How do you know the Foreign Tribe will send more people?

How do you know that no one will come to support us then?

Have you contacted other worlds equal to ours?

Have you organized a joint resistance against the Foreign Tribe? 」

These questions left Zhang Lingquan unable to answer.

He sighed and explained to Ye Liuyun: 「Our Ten Thousand Gods Alliance was actually formed when the Foreign Tribe first invaded, using that complete Great Planetary World as the basis.

Their warship can traverse the Void Starry Sky.

He brought us to see the situation of the starry sky, and also told us that they would also go to other equivalent worlds, together organizing resistance against the Foreign Tribe.

Their warships can traverse the Void Starry Sky.

【61】 He showed us the state of Xingkong, and also told us that they would go to other equal worlds to jointly organize resistance against the Foreign Tribe.

【62】 At that time, they also gave us a large amount of resources.

But after that, they never came again.

And those Foreign Tribes refuse to detour around our world, so we can only fight them.

We also cannot break out of the void of this world.

We simply cannot build such warships, let alone contact other worlds.

Ye Liuyun heard this and also lowered his head in thought for a while.

The Ten Thousand Gods Alliance organizes resistance against the Foreign Tribes, yet receives no support from other worlds—indeed, it is not easy.

But from Zhang Lingquan's words, he could also tell that the Ten Thousand Gods Alliance does not regard dealing with the Foreign Tribes as its own matter.

He merely hopes to receive aid in resources and strength; relying on his own strength to defeat the Foreign Tribes remains a pessimistic attitude.

From this, it can be seen that the Ten Thousand Gods Alliance cannot cope with the Foreign Tribes.

This is also why they have fought for so many years without any result.

The reason they have held out until now is because of martial cultivators like Li Yuanlang, who fear no sacrifice and desperately protect the Divine Realm.

Now, the martial cultivators of the entire Divine Realm have had their zeal to resist the Foreign Tribes stirred up by him; this enthusiasm must not be allowed to die out.

But if he goes against the Ten Thousand Gods Alliance's policies, even if he does not want to clash with the Alliance, he cannot guarantee that the Alliance will not act against him.

So he must now begin to take precautions.

"Where is the headquarters of the Ten Thousand Gods Alliance?"

"How come you guys just show up whenever you say you're coming?"

Ye Liuyun pretended to casually inquire about the situation of the Ten Thousand Gods Alliance.

Because he already controls the entire Divine Realm, yet he has not discovered the Ten Thousand Gods Alliance's headquarters.

At this moment, Zhang Lingquan is still off guard toward Ye Liuyun, so he does not conceal anything from him.

Moreover, he feels that if Ye Liuyun truly wants to know, he will surely be able to find out.

"I won't hide it from you either: the Ten Thousand Gods Alliance's headquarters is located in a secret realm, and we come and go via the teleportation arrays of those Alien Battlefield Bases."

"In emergencies, or if one possesses a Ten Thousand Gods Alliance teleportation token, the token can also be activated to return—it just consumes more energy."
