After Elder Yu departed, Ye Yunfei took out another dozen spatial rings and handed them to the Reincarnation Palace's Great Elder, earmarking them as cultivation resources for the palace.
Since the overall strength of the Reincarnation Palace had improved significantly, the quantity and quality of resources Ye Yunfei provided this time were also substantially higher.
The reason Ye Yunfei kept giving resources to the Reincarnation Palace was, naturally, Su Qingluo.
Su Qingluo was the palace lord of the Reincarnation Palace; if she were still here, she would bear the responsibility for the palace's development and find ways to obtain resources herself.
Now that she was missing, Ye Yunfei, as her man, proactively shouldered this duty.
Of course, the high-ranking members of the palace were aware of this. Ye Yunfei treated the Reincarnation Palace so well entirely because of Su Qingluo.
Hiss!
When the Great Elder's Soul Power probed the dozen spatial rings Ye Yunfei had just gifted, he couldn't help but draw a sharp breath.
The sheer quantity and quality of cultivation resources contained within these dozen rings astounded him.
“Young Master Ye, these cultivation resources are enough for our Reincarnation Palace to use for decades,” the Great Elder said excitedly.
“If there is further need, you can send someone to find me,” Ye Yunfei nodded.
He had reaped extremely rich harvests recently, especially acquiring the treasures left by two Deities. The vast amount of various cultivation resources he now possessed was staggering, practically uncountable.
The resources given to the Reincarnation Palace were nothing in comparison.
“Also, protect the Samsara Passage. Don't let anyone enter casually,” Ye Yunfei instructed.
“Young Master Ye, rest assured. Our Reincarnation Palace has already deployed personnel to guard that Samsara Passage heavily. No one is allowed to approach without permission,” the Great Elder replied promptly.
“Very well.”
Ye Yunfei nodded, bid farewell to the Reincarnation Palace's high-ranking members, and left the Samsara Realm.
Soon after, Ye Yunfei returned to the headquarters of the Alliance Army.
All the Demigod experts of the Alliance Army, hearing of Ye Yunfei's return, immediately gathered in the assembly hall.
Ye Yunfei took his seat in the very center of the hall. The number of Demigod experts in the Alliance Army had now reached forty-five, which included the Xiao Family's experts, Xiao Ziming among them.
Xiao Ziming was a High-level Demigod, the strongest expert currently within the Alliance Army.
Apart from him, there were over a dozen Mid-level Demigods, while most of the others were Low-level Demigods.
While this overall strength was much greater than before, it still fell short compared to the major powers in the Chaotic Void Sea. Within those powers, there weren't just many Mid-level and High-level Demigods, but numerous Complete Demigods as well.
“Everyone, although the number of Demigod experts in our Alliance Army is no longer small, I must be frank—quantity does not mean quality. We lack strength.
Therefore, everyone must diligently devote themselves to cultivation and increase your strength,” Ye Yunfei said, glancing at the more than forty Demigod experts present.
“Young Master Ye, we have followed your instructions, spending most of our time on cultivation.
Moreover, several Low-level Demigods have successively broken through to become Mid-level Demigods during this period,” Ouyang Tao stepped forward to report.
“Yes, I know. Everyone has indeed spent a lot of time cultivating, but it is not enough yet. Compared to the major powers in the Chaotic Void Sea, our Alliance Army is still too weak. We can only hide here in the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds, not daring to venture out.
A new era has arrived. In this new era, it's not just Demigods; even Deities might appear.
So everyone must have a sense of crisis,” Ye Yunfei stated.
“Young Master Ye, what you say makes sense. We should indeed have a sense of crisis.”
The other high-ranking members of the Alliance Army present nodded repeatedly.
The rumor that a new era had arrived, where Deities might appear, had begun to spread throughout the Chaotic Void Sea, reaching even remote places like the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds.
“Take these cultivation resources.
In short, everyone must continue to cultivate diligently in the time ahead, continuously improving your own strength.”
With a wave of his hand, Ye Yunfei produced a large batch of spatial rings, sending them to the space in front of each high-ranking member of the Alliance Army.
“Young Master Ye, these cultivation resources are too precious,” Xiao Ziming said in surprise after sensing the two spatial rings that had flown before him.
Even as a High-level Demigod, he still found the resources inside those two rings extremely valuable.
After acquiring the treasures left by the two Deities, Ye Yunfei had planned to use them to elevate the overall strength of the Alliance Army and the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds.
Those two Deity treasures were originally meant to support the forces of their own descendants—the two large merchant houses—but now they became resources for the Alliance Army.
“Elder Xiao, no need to stand on ceremony. Accept them.
You are now part of the Alliance Army. If your strength improves, it is a good thing for all of us,” Ye Yunfei said.
“Alright, Young Master Ye, I will accept them then.
Young Master Ye, rest assured, from now on, I will do my utmost in any matter concerning the Alliance Army,” Xiao Ziming finally accepted the two spatial rings gratefully after Ye Yunfei's persuasion.
The resources Ye Yunfei gifted came from two Deities' treasures. Even for a High-level Demigod like him, they were extremely precious.
“By the way, Young Master Ye, allow me to report to you the general situation within the Chaotic Void Sea,” Elder Kong stepped forward and said.
“Very well!” Ye Yunfei nodded.
“Young Master Ye, during this period, the various major powers within the Chaotic Void Sea continue to dispatch armies to invade other world groups everywhere. After occupying them, they immediately construct numerous temples within those world groups to enshrine statues of their own power's Complete Demigod experts.
Moreover, those major powers regularly send people to escort the Soul Power avatars hidden within those statues back to their headquarters.
A while back, the Dark Faction, the Devil Clan, and the Heavenly God Hall all had a batch of Soul Power avatars enshrined within such statues stolen.
According to rumor, it seems you did it, Young Master Ye.”
Elder Kong looked at Ye Yunfei as he reached this point.
“Yes, it was indeed me,” Ye Yunfei nodded.
Hearing this, the other Alliance Army elders voiced their approval one after another, feeling immensely gratified.
The majority of these elders came from world groups whose homelands had already been occupied by those major powers. They harbored deep hatred for those powers, so hearing such news naturally excited them.
“Young Master Ye, there is another rumor. Many famous divination masters within the Chaotic Void Sea have concluded through their divinations that Deities will be born in the Chaotic Void Sea before long.
When that time comes, the power structure of the Chaotic Void Sea will undergo an earth-shattering change.
Some famous divination masters have publicly stated that this is an era of prosperity, but also an era of chaos,” Elder Kong continued.
“Yes, I have come to understand this situation,” Ye Yunfei nodded again.
“Young Master Ye, not long ago, another legend suddenly spread throughout the Chaotic Void Sea: the appearance of the Heavenly God Coffin.”
“The Heavenly God Coffin?
What is that?” Ye Yunfei was momentarily stunned.
Not only Ye Yunfei, but the other Alliance Army elders also looked at Elder Kong with curiosity.
Within the Alliance Army, Elder Kong was responsible for the intelligence department, specifically training and dispatching scouts throughout the Chaotic Void Sea to gather various information.
Therefore, Elder Kong was more knowledgeable about the happenings within the Chaotic Void Sea than the other elders.
“The Heavenly God Coffin is a legend that emerged not long ago. It is a coffin belonging to a Heavenly God.
In ancient times, the Heavenly God Coffin appeared numerous times within the Chaotic Void Sea.
It is said that within the Heavenly God Coffin lies buried a Deity of terrifying strength—a Heavenly God.
In the ancient times of the Chaotic Void Sea, Heavenly Gods were already among the top-tier powerhouses among Deities.
Back then, each appearance of the Heavenly God Coffin would attract pursuit from a great number of Deities.
It is said that the Heavenly God buried within might have left behind a Heavenly God-level treasure hoard or a Heavenly God-level inheritance within that coffin.
Generally, the Heavenly God Coffin appears in eras where Deities exist.
Its appearance in this era perfectly corroborates the divinations of those masters.
That is, Deities will soon be born within the Chaotic Void Sea.”
“So that's it. A Heavenly God Coffin, a coffin belonging to an ancient Heavenly God. This legend carries a very strong mythical flavor,” Ye Yunfei remarked.
“Young Master Ye, the legend of the Heavenly God Coffin does indeed exist.
An ancient text within our Xiao Family records legends about the Heavenly God Coffin.
It is said that in ancient times, the Deities within our Chaotic Void Sea were divided into two grades. The first grade was the Void Gods, and the second was the Heavenly Gods.
It is said that upon successful breakthrough, a Complete Demigod can become a Void God.
Void Gods are considered initial-stage Deities. After undergoing cultivation over an immense span of time, if a Void God can attain a Deity's Authority, then it is possible to become a Heavenly God.
In ancient times, within our Chaotic Void Sea, Heavenly Gods belonged to the apex among Deities.
If the Heavenly God Coffin truly holds a Heavenly God, along with an inheritance and treasure hoard left by that Heavenly God, then it would indeed hold tremendous allure for the vast majority of Void Gods in the world.
Actually, the most precious, the most valuable thing within the Heavenly God Coffin is not the inheritance or treasure left by the Heavenly God, but the Deity's Authority.
If a Void God can obtain a Deity's Authority, they might immediately break through to become a Heavenly God.
There is also a saying: Void Gods are only recognized within our own Void Sea. They are Deities of a limited scope.
If a Void God leaves our Void Sea and goes to another Void Sea, their strength will drop significantly.
Only after obtaining a Deity's Authority and becoming a Heavenly God will they be accepted by different Void Seas.
Regardless of which Void Sea they travel to, they will be recognized as true Deities and possess incredibly powerful combat prowess.
Therefore, in ancient times, for those Void Gods, achieving the cultivation of a Heavenly God was the pursuit of a lifetime.”
It was Xiao Ziming who spoke up suddenly and explained to Ye Yunfei.
“Your Xiao Family's ancient texts contain records of these contents?” Ye Yunfei asked with great curiosity.
“Yes. Although the overall strength of our Xiao Family currently is not particularly strong, in ancient times, it was a large clan possessing many Void Gods, and thus left behind many ancient texts recording matters related to Deities,” Xiao Ziming nodded in affirmation.
“I see.”
Ye Yunfei nodded, learning for the first time about the divisions of Deity grades: Void Gods and Heavenly Gods.
“If the coffin indeed holds a Heavenly God, that would mean only Void Gods would dare to covet the Heavenly God Coffin. Those of us who are merely Demigods likely wouldn't dare to harbor such ambitions,” Ye Yunfei mused aloud.
“Is there anything else?” Ye Yunfei asked again.
“Young Master Ye, currently, although the major powers within the Chaotic Void Sea haven't sent anyone to directly deal with our Alliance Army and the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds again,
whenever a member of our Alliance Army leaves the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds for the outside, they are immediately subjected to joint pursuit and execution by those powers.
Furthermore, the scouts I dispatched have discovered that people of unknown origin frequently lurk in the space surrounding the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds, keeping the place under surveillance.
It's clear these individuals are scouts sent by those major powers.
In short, while those powers no longer openly confront our Alliance Army and the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds, they will still cause trouble for our people the moment an opportunity arises.”
Elder Kong continued his report.
“If you find anyone spying on or monitoring the area around the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds, immediately send people to eliminate them. Show no mercy,” Ye Yunfei instructed.
“Also, Young Master Ye, there is another situation. During this period, strange sounds occasionally emanate from the Colorless Abyss. Moreover, some mysterious and terrifying energy auras occasionally seep out from within.”
“Something like that?” Ye Yunfei was somewhat surprised to hear this.
“Young Master Ye, it is indeed true.
I even went to the vicinity of the Colorless Abyss and sensed for a while. From inside, some extremely frightening movements would come from time to time, including sounds, energy fluctuations, and some irregular vibrations,” Ouyang Tao also spoke up.
“Didn't the entrance to the Colorless Abyss already close?” Ye Yunfei asked.
“Although the entrance to the Colorless Abyss is indeed closed, those strange sounds, energies, and vibrations definitely emanate from the former spatial location of the Colorless Abyss.
So it's highly likely they are indeed coming from within the Colorless Abyss,” Elder Kong explained.
“Is that so? Alright, I will go take a look now.”
Filled with curiosity, Ye Yunfei immediately stood up.
“Everyone, you may disperse. Remember, seize every moment to cultivate and improve your strength,”
Ye Yunfei said to the other Alliance Army elders. Then, he had Elder Kong and Ouyang Tao lead the way toward the location of the Colorless Abyss.
They soon arrived near the Colorless Abyss.
The Colorless Abyss was formerly situated at the bottom of a vast sea. However, after the incident with the divine corpse, that sea had long since been completely evaporated, leaving behind only an expanse of space that emanated a strange aura.
The entrance to the Colorless Abyss was also closed. Looking around, one could only see a vast stretch of empty space, nothingness.
But Ye Yunfei had previously entered and exited the Colorless Abyss, so he was very familiar with its location.
Upon arriving near the Colorless Abyss, Ye Yunfei stood still and began probing with his senses.
