Facing the Apocalypse with My Other Selves

No one is qualified to voice objections any longer.

Thus, a large amount of Gray Mist was directly used.

In the entire Gray Mist Space, the already very dense Gray Mist began to dissipate at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Although only about a third of the inventory was used in the end, it was already an enormous consumption unprecedented in recent years.

According to the Association's rules, the foundational technology and knowledge created using the Association's power belong freely to all within the Association.

Every Shen Yu received all the information.

Among them, some entirely new inheritances were particularly shocking.

Because it seemed to involve more than just upgrading the Celestial Dao Jade Butterfly; it touched on the very essence of Extraordinary Power.

"Extraordinary Tree," Shen Yu muttered to himself as well.

Indeed, this upgrade directly materialized the Heavenly Dao Rules in a brand-new mode.

Previously, the Extraordinary Rules and Extraordinary Source, if forced to describe them, were just a blob of light or a piece of space.

In some worlds, it would be referred to as the "Sea of Truth" or "Root Source."

But now, it's a tree.

A tree with roots and branches spread throughout the entire world, omnipresent.

Don't just look at the change in form; this is the first step of control.

First, in conceptual recognition, a tree does not encompass emotions.

Although it is life, it does not have a self.

This aligns with the characteristics of most Extraordinary Sources.

At least conceptually consistent.

Secondly, a tree has a core; no matter how vast its roots spread, the concept of a "trunk" exists.

This is the switch for control.

After all, the core of the Celestial Dao Jade Butterfly's upgrade is not how to integrate and master the Extraordinary Source.

But to ensure that Shen Yu can control it.

The "trunk" concept of the Celestial Dao Tree provides a grip for control.

Once successful, all the Shen Yus only need to go to where the trunk is to easily modify, inspect, or even destroy the Heavenly Dao of the entire world.

"If this is the case, perhaps in the future, we can connect all the 'trees,' placing the highest, greater authority in the Association," Shen Yu pondered, as if seeing the blueprint of the future.

An association secretly controlling the root sources of countless worlds?

This indeed aligns with the definition of the Association.

Moreover, the benefits of this concept do not end there.

Another feature of the tree is its growth potential.

In other words, not all Shen Yus need to build it from the start to control every corner of the world immediately.

Instead, it can start from a seedling.

Let its roots gradually extend.

Take the High Martial World, for example. It's unrealistic to pour everything in and control the world's laws completely, eradicating all enemies at once.

A gradual approach is still needed.

And this "Celestial Dao Tree" can meet that need.

"It seems the Celestial Dao Jade Butterfly needs a name change," Shen Yu opened his eyes, looked at everyone present, and smiled slightly. "Since the product has already been purchased, it's time to enjoy it; prepare yourselves, adjourn!"

As soon as the last two characters were spoken, some people, already impatient, disappeared from the conference room directly.

Returned to their respective worlds.

Including High-Level Martial Artist Shen Yu.

He glanced at the list and decided to use all his resources for one grand move!

"Celestial Dao Jade Butterfly, the upcoming war will revolve directly around you," High-Level Martial Artist Shen Yu took out his Celestial Dao Jade Butterfly.

He began to take action immediately.

Unlike many other Shen Yus, High-Level Martial Artist Shen Yu didn't give his Celestial Dao Jade Butterfly a name.

In his understanding, even if the Celestial Dao Jade Butterfly had life, consciousness, it wouldn't have personal emotions. Since there are no emotions, it's just a tool and doesn't need its own name.

Even at this moment, this perception hasn't changed.

Different Shen Yus still have differences in some details after all.

In any case, in the upcoming period, High-Level Martial Artist Shen Yu will draw a vast amount of resources from human civilization.

These include some extremely precious resources.

And no explanation was given.

If it weren't for High-Level Martial Artist Shen Yu currently holding the supreme status and power in civilization, achieving this wouldn't be easy.

But this significant change, with little disguise, naturally attracted the enemy's attention quickly.

High-Level Martial Artist Shen Yu had already clarified beforehand.

The greatest enemy of this world is a group of people who reached the peak first and controlled the entire world's Extraordinary Source.

They are the pioneers of this world, the limit of Martial Arts, and the supreme beings akin to Divine Spirits.

However, after reaching such an extreme, this group did not strive to progress further like strong figures in some worlds. Instead, they turned their attention inward.

Like raising Gu, perhaps finding amusement in watching ants and crickets fight.

They use the Heavenly Dao Laws as bait, driving the races into endless slaughter!

Any civilization that loses control would be ruthlessly annihilated and targeted by them.

The foundation for achieving all this is evidently the Extraordinary Source they control.

"Completely lost face for us Martial Artists," High-Level Martial Artist Shen Yu muttered, speaking from the heart with genuine disgust.

In worlds like the Primordial World and Wizard World, although the cause of doom can also be blamed to some extent on the strongest at the top.

But at least their purpose was to explore broader worlds and break through the limitations the world imposes on them.

But in the High Martial World?

Those people not only failed to do this, they even consumed their civilization!

In any case, High-Level Martial Artist Shen Yu had no intent to communicate, alleviate hostilities.

In fact, what he wanted was complete victory!

So when a seedling, merely existing in concept, appeared in his palm in a tangible form, subtle changes began to emerge deep in the entire world.

Roots silently infiltrated the World Source, began to efficiently parse and control all the laws, and expanded frantically.

Clearly, the group of Martial Artists' control over the Extraordinary Source was not absolute either.

The world's Extraordinary Source ultimately does not belong solely to a single consciousness.

Once the numbers increase, no consciousness can control it perfectly.

This allowed High-Level Martial Artist Shen Yu's initial infiltration to go very smoothly.

Even able to gather some battlefield intelligence through the Celestial Dao Tree.

Like where certain enemies are and what they're doing.

This satisfied the initial requirements.

However, High-Level Martial Artist Shen Yu also received some intelligence that made him vigilant.

He passed it to the Association immediately.

"In the High Martial World, there indeed exist Saint Level beings, three of them," High-Level Martial Artist Shen Yu shared the answers he obtained through the Celestial Dao Tree's detection. "These three control eighty percent of the entire Extraordinary World's Extraordinary Rules, another eighteen percent is shared by eight Daluo Golden Immortal level beings, the remaining two percent belongs to the countless Martial Artists."

"Three Primordial Daluo Golden Immortals, and eight Daluo Golden Immortals," Shen Yu repeated and laughed lightly, "This ratio... has the High Martial World also been destroyed?"

Clearly, such a ratio is completely off.

Just like the limited Saint Fruit Positions in the Primordial World, but how many Daluo Golden Immortals are there?

Excluding those who are in hiding, there are more than a hundred openly known!

Those Buddhas, Daoist Ancestors, Great Immortals, Great Powers, even after the Great Tribulation of the West, many newly emerged.

That's the difference.
