Chapter 699: Chapter 386: Creator of the Gray Mist Space
The other Shen Yu completely understood Shen Yu’s meaning.
After a brief consideration, most people chose to support it.
The reason is simple. For such a civilization that has already become systematic, it’s indeed somewhat regrettable to dismantle it.
Moreover, the Association genuinely needs to strengthen its power, which greatly benefits every civilization.
After all, in the foreseeable future, the main enemies the Association will face are still primarily from the All Heavens Forces.
Any single Association World alone is unlikely to be a match for the All Heavens Forces.
This means that the Association will be fighting as a collective in many future situations.
Under such circumstances, the individual strength of the Association indeed needs development.
However, managing it as a collective entails some considerations regarding management methods.
Obviously, it will be more difficult than dismantling it.
But these are matters for later. As long as the Association can fully capture the Great Wind Empire, it has ample time, energy, and confidence to resolve this matter.
At this moment, the Great Wind Emperor has long fled towards the depths of the All Heavens with the core interests of the entire Empire.
He seems to have also realized that the Association will inevitably leave something on him in an attempt to find his back-up plan.
Thus, during this escape, he constantly utilized the laws of other worlds and his own method of devouring laws, trying to obliterate all marks on himself.
He has even undergone several reincarnations.
Although he retained his realm, simply by relying on comparatively strong World Laws to reshuffle his identification and causality, it still resulted in considerable losses.
It can only be said that the Great Wind Emperor indeed possesses immense courage.
Once he decided to escape, it was a complete, ruthless escape.
Basically, he abandoned all possibilities of resistance.
The only path left was escape.
However, his actions are destined to be futile in front of the Association.
In the next few hundred years, the Association silently watched the escape of this Great Wind Emperor, occasionally surfacing to announce its presence.
This clearly exerted immense psychological pressure on the Great Wind Emperor.
Under such actions, the Great Wind Emperor evidently needed to bear enormous pressure.
And this was precisely the Association’s goal.
Although this war has essentially not fully ended and has persisted for nearly three thousand years, in the Association’s view, it is effectively over.
What remains is merely the conclusion.
When the Great Wind Emperor can no longer endure, or realizes he has no possibility of escape, that will be the moment to completely close the net.
Before then, the Association has ample patience.
It has even begun to swiftly shift its focus to development.
Benefiting from the fruits of this war, the Association’s development speed, which had fallen into a slow state, once again surged.
Even if the speed is being controlled, the stimulus of abundant resources is still irresistible for the various Association civilizations.
Undoubtedly, living in worlds under the jurisdiction of the Association during this stage is an extremely fortunate experience.
Even with poor talent, as long as one is willing to strive, there is still a great possibility of creating a future.
Many Shen Yu have even foreseen the moment when the entire Association transforms and evolves.
Simultaneously, many Shen Yu themselves have begun to use these resources, supplemented by a certain amount of Gray Mist, to slowly enhance their realm, especially their life levels.
Of course, this slowness is compared to using a large amount of Gray Mist at once.
In fact, it is still extremely quick compared to normal cultivation.
During this process, Shen Yu gradually discovered a matter of crucial importance.
"The restrictions of Gray Mist Space on us are gradually being lifted."
Shen Yu specifically gathered the other Shen Yu to begin explaining this matter.
Indeed, it wasn’t just about gathering the members of the board, but all Shen Yu.
After all, any change in the Gray Mist Space concerns everyone.
"The main change occurred when we previously used Gray Mist to forcibly elevate our life levels to the middle stage of the Twelfth Realm, I detected some changes," Shen Yu recounted his research journey during this period, "But the feeling wasn’t clear at the time, until we continued digesting resources, rapidly enhancing our power and realm, and the perception became more apparent—this is different from before."
It wasn’t the first time Gray Mist Space had changed.
When Shen Yu reached the Saint Realm, Gray Mist Space introduced a change, allowing direct access to the crevices of the All Heavens World.
This enabled the Association to freely explore the All Heavens World.
But now, it’s different from back then.
The feeling then was that the connection between oneself and Gray Mist Space became closer, allowing certain degrees of control.
But now, the connection between himself and Gray Mist Space hasn’t fundamentally changed; instead, some original restrictions within Gray Mist Space are gradually lifting.
These restrictions have been in place since Shen Yu obtained the Gray Mist Space.
The biggest restriction is that Shen Yu could only obtain Gray Mist by saving beings he acknowledges.
Additionally, there are finer rules.
