Ordinary Shen Yu might not consider this question, but clearly, interstellar world Shen Yu and Wizard Shen Yu ponder the Gray Mist.

They even had a private discussion about it once.

The unanimous conclusion they reached was that the Gray Mist might be the source of the world's birth.

This was an easy guess.

In the interdimensional space between the All Heavens, even if there appears to be nothing, there must be a world, and the birth of a world must have its methods.

However, the two people speculating on this topic never expected the answer to present itself so quickly.

"I don't know what the Gray Mist is, but I discovered that this Gray Mist naturally pervades, just like our Gray Mist. So, when I opened the 'door', a portion of the Gray Mist appeared in our Gray Mist Space, providing me with the answer," Shen Yu continued, "The answer is—the Gray Mist!"

There was a brief silence on the scene.

Then, expressions of surprise and delight appeared.

"Are you saying that this Gray Mist entered our Gray Mist Space and directly became our Gray Mist, which we can control?" Wizard Shen Yu repeated his understanding almost as if confirming.

Shen Yu nodded emphatically.

"I don't know if it's that the Gray Mist itself is the same as ours or if it went through some modification, but I can confirm that after it 'diffused' in, the amount of our Gray Mist indeed increased, although not by much."

After discovering this, Shen Yu's excitement and thrill were hardly any less than those of the other Shen Yus.

After all, the Gray Mist is extremely important to them, to the Association, and to all civilizations to date.

In the past, their sole source for acquiring Gray Mist was saving the world, saving those "beings" they recognized.

But now, Shen Yu's discovery means they've suddenly acquired a new source of Gray Mist.

This means "opening up new resources"!

"Is there a way to directly accelerate the extraction of Gray Mist from the interdimensional space of the All Heavens?" Cultivator Shen Yu posed a thought, "Or could we expand the Space Gate connecting to the interdimensional space of the All Heavens to let more Gray Mist in?"

Upon hearing this, many Shen Yus began to ponder.

However, Shen Yu just shook his head slightly and said, "I don't know. In fact, after confirming that the Gray Mist which 'drifted' in from the interdimensional space of the All Heavens could indeed increase our Gray Mist, I closed that Space Gate immediately and have not opened it since. I believe that when facing unknown benefits, no matter how enormous they appear, we should maintain the most basic advancement."

Yes, Shen Yu is not someone who would lose rationality in the face of profit, nor is he someone who rules autocratically.

The greater the benefit, the more he maintains his rationality.

Moreover, he tries to think and judge rationally as much as possible.

This is why he wanted to leave the explanation of this matter for the plenary meeting.

He hopes to rely on the collective rationality to control the impulse of desire.

Evidently, Shen Yu has been quite successful.

After calming down, the other Shen Yus also thought so.

"You are right," interstellar world Shen Yu said directly, "Our understanding of the true All Heavens is not extensive. There are a lot of potential risks, for instance, whether there are All Heavens level influences similar to us but stronger within the All Heavens, even watching everything within the All Heavens. Moreover, what if the creators of the Gray Mist Space still exist and are watching us, or if the interdimensional space itself carries risks? If we suddenly open a wide passage between the Gray Mist Space and the interdimensional space, would we be assimilated, swallowed... so many risks."

To interstellar world Shen Yu, stepping into a new stage and facing a new vast world is all too familiar for him and his civilization.

Although different in level, the Association at this moment is not much different from back when human civilization first stepped out into the cosmos, began exploring distant galaxies, and even declared its existence to the entire universe.

Evidently, the number and strength of powerful civilizations in the universe far exceeded the options back when human civilization first started.

And the Void Spirit Civilization they attracted almost caused the entire human civilization to pay a huge price.

They almost got destroyed.

Thus, the Association must act cautiously.

However, the Association is ultimately different.

They have the Gray Mist.

Quickly, Shen Yu proposed, "Since the greatest crisis of the true interdimensional space of the All Heavens comes from the unknown, can't we directly use the Gray Mist to inquire about certain questions and obtain some crucial answers, especially regarding safety?"

This is also a consistent style of the Association.

They use the Gray Mist primarily in two directions.

First, to eliminate some position risks, maximizing the likelihood of accomplishing things and avoiding risks arising from unforeseen or sudden situations.

Second, to enhance their own power, be it a direct power boost or applied in cracking some dangerous technologies.

Evidently, the current situation suits the first direction.

Instantly, many people turned their gaze towards Shen Yu.

They seemed worried that he might tell them he had already used the Gray Mist to inquire, but the amount of Gray Mist was insufficient.

However, this time Shen Yu really hadn't inquired.

"I anticipated that the Gray Mist consumed for such a question might not be low, so I didn't directly inquire, but planned to do it during this meeting," he looked towards the five members of the presidium, then slowly said, "So, I'll start asking."

He himself was a bit tense.

The answers to these questions would relate to the safety of the Association and its crucial development ahead.

"The first question," Shen Yu asked slowly, "Would opening the interdimensional space of the All Heavens pose a sufficient danger to the Association, one that might destroy the Association or present an immense danger we cannot resist?"

Somewhat unexpectedly, the amount of Gray Mist required to answer this question turned out to be very little!

So little that it exceeded everyone's expectations.

While it wasn't zero, for the current Association, it was almost negligible.

Shen Yu paused in silence, seemingly thinking of some possibility, and chose to consume the Gray Mist directly.

The answer appeared quickly.

[Yes]

Shen Yu looked at this brief and inexpensive answer, took a slight breath, glanced at the others, and then asked the second question.

"What is the main source of danger?"

The consumption of Gray Mist required for this question was slightly more.

But it was still not too much.

It is worth noting that this wasn't a simple "yes or no" question, but one involving specific information.

However, without wasting any more time, Shen Yu chose to consume the Gray Mist based on a certain conjecture.

[There are three main sources: first, the interdimensional space of the All Heavens itself possesses natural risks that might cause destruction to the Gray Mist Space; second, the interdimensional space of the All Heavens lacks concepts such as coordinates and space. Opening a passage to this space might randomly lead to a powerful and dangerous world, causing danger; third, interdimensional entities exist within the interdimensional space of the All Heavens, and long-term opening might lead to detection.]

Three sources of danger.

It doesn't seem like much, but each description of danger made all the Shen Yus slightly frown.

Especially the third point.

The conjecture was indeed valid. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

There truly are All Heavens level influences in the All Heavens World.

They aren't the only ones capable of reaching different All Heavens Worlds.

However, this conjecture had a high probability of being true.

After all, they also didn't travel to different All Heavens Worlds through their own power to become an All Heavens Level Influence.
