if they died, they could just switch targets and start over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Combat Insect Clan did not matter either; they were either fighting or on the way to fight, Insect Clan warriors were all consumables, and there were Insect Clan bigshots behind them providing real-time support.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Terrifying Black Black Tide did not matter either; the Gigantification Domain was merely a negligible force in front of the Terrifying Black Black Tide.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the Di Nian Evil Spirit had only one chance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it dared to attempt challenging the Gigantification Domain, it would most likely be swept away in a single push.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Di Nian Evil Spirit's choice to gather intelligence first was a very wise decision.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>According to the Guidance's analysis, the route of eastward expansion taken by the Di Nian Evil Spirit was likely to be cut off after encountering the Gigantification Domain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Next, it should head toward the Colorful Mist Coast direction, that is, expand westward to open up new domains.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without paying too much attention, Qi Sheng's consciousness shifted at this moment to the sea area direction of the Colorful Mist Coast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Colorful Mist Coast, Ascension Sea Area.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was a sea area shrouded in storms, located to the east of the Cang Star Sea Area, and also the region where the Ascension Clan islands were situated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the center of the ocean, ink-black dark clouds hung like a massive curtain, pressing heavily down upon the sea surface, as if intending to swallow the entire sea area.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Between the dark clouds, electric snakes wandered wildly, illuminating the surging wave crests below like blades flashing with cold light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sea waves were like a demon legion awakened from the abyss, colliding and merging with the force of moving mountains and overturning seas, kicking up white wave walls dozens of zhang high.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vortices continuously formed on the sea surface, greedily devouring everything around them, forming huge funnels where seawater spun crazily, emitting roaring sounds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Countless figures piloted vehicles, cutting through the waves in the sea area.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sailboats, swimming, warships... various vehicles carried the players' longing for the Shu Yan Warriors, advancing toward the depths of the ocean.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sea breeze blew over the churning wave crests, shaving off a layer of the wave tops, turning them into sky-full mist that merged with the fog.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the area shrouded by this mist was precisely the destination of the players' journey.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to personally raising pets, many players preferred Shu Yan Warriors that could be custom-designed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as one could catch a Shu Yan Warrior, it meant one could step into the ranks of top-tier players.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was a shortcut for growth in the eyes of many players.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the eyes of lone-wolf players, Shu Yan Warriors were fierce combat companions that could help them easily hunt above their level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the eyes of team players, Shu Yan Warriors were optimization units capable of filling any shortfall in any aspect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They could be damage-soaking tanks, damage-dealing mages, or functional supports... a single Shu Yan Warrior could fill any shortfall in a team.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was also the reason why Shu Yan Warriors were favored by countless players.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the pet function coming online, Shu Yan Warriors could be purified and brought back to the Emperor Tomb Village Space, turning Shu Yan Warriors into commodities that could be listed on the Trading Row.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The minimum selling price for a Shu Yan Warrior reached 180,000 Sacrificial Power; catching one meant getting rich in one go.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was a well-known player on the Forum who possessed a Shu Yan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A statement pinned to his personal homepage was the true portrayal of the inner feelings of players who wanted to capture Shu Yan Warriors:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Squatting in the Shu Yan Domain for three full days, when the dying Shu Yan Warrior fell before me, I, who was drowsy, instantly became spirited; I felt my blood boiling in my veins, my heart pounding like a drum, every nerve screaming with joy and pleasure; I knew that was my prey, my trophy, my glory; an indescribable sense of achievement filled my mind; this feeling fascinates me every time I recall it; all the waiting was worth it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>……\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Players hoping to capture Shu Yan were all inwardly anticipating a stroke of luck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like gold panners, they might come up empty-handed, or they might await fate's favor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A Shu Yan warrior was still a stepping stone into top-tier guilds; the major guilds, offering full benefits and treatment, were at their disposal to choose from.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, within Shu Yan's domain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The great battle continued.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cultivators wore Daoist robes flowing with brilliant light, spiritual essence swirling around their bodies, resembling deities descending from the nine heavens.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other side, Ascension Clan warriors were shrouded in colorful light, layers of elemental ripples diffusing from their forms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the battlefield, spell light and elemental power interwove, deafening roars shaking the earth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The remnant clouds in the sky were shattered into fragments by various powerful forces, revealing a sky reflected in a kaleidoscope of colors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The earth, amidst this fierce fighting, became riddled with holes; the once-flat ground was now covered in deep pits and cracks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both sides exchanged blows, neither yielding an inch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The great battle seemed endless, the entire heaven and earth dragged into the collision of war.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In terms of combat power comparison, the cultivators generated by Shu Yan were at an absolute disadvantage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But relying on the power granted by Shu Yan's temporary rule modifications, they could always turn the Black Tide against the odds in desperate situations; key characters simply could not be killed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if an Ascension Clan warrior landed what seemed like a fatal strike, it would be nullified the next second for some reason.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For instance, space might suddenly tear open, a spatial black hole swallowing the elemental power released by the Ascension Clan warrior.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By cheating openly on the spot, the Cultivator Alliance under Shu Yan's control, even while at a disadvantage, could stubbornly withstand the Ascension Clan's fierce offensive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the mist surrounding Shu Yan's domain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Players hid in the mist at the domain's edge, lying in wait;

scenes of light and shadow from countless worlds floated before its eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cultivation world controlled by the Ascension Clan, the low-martial world of Youlan Realm, the Sword Chime World... the stories it had created circulated in these worlds, continuously generating ink power output.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It had classified all these minor worlds into three grades.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among them, for those worlds listed in the first grade, if an event affecting stability occurred, it would intervene depending on the situation to ensure the world continued in a relatively stable stage of development.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only in a peaceful environment could ink power be produced better.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its consciousness continued to shuttle, arriving before a patch of golden light and shadow; Shu Yan's consciousness abruptly pierced through it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its perceptual gaze stabbed toward the thick cloud layer, penetrating layer upon layer of hazy veils.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beneath the clouds, the vast earth gradually became clear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mountains and rivers unfolded like a scroll; verdant forests covered the undulating hills, while winding rivers shimmered with silver light under the sun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Towering cities stood upon the earth, their walls soaring high.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shu Yan's consciousness continued to sink, sweeping over fields and villages.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the fields, farmers bent over in labor, golden waves of wheat rising and falling in the wind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the villages, cooking smoke curled upward; children chased and played in the alleys, their laughter crisp and pleasant to the ear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, Shu Yan's consciousness settled in the central area of a bustling city.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the core world in Shu Yan's eyes;

the beings, rules, and power systems within the Book Realm were all set by the author.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Furthermore, the depth of the novel's creation, the rigor of its logic, and the completeness of its worldview could directly determine the strength of the Book Realm, and also determine the amount of power the author could obtain;
