For instance, Martial Artist Shen Yu.

Even though he is striving to develop his own world, the Martial Arts World still remains incredibly weak. Among the over thirty different worlds of Shen Yu within the current Association, the civilization level and world level of the Martial Arts World struggle to rank even in the top twenty!

Yes, it's that weak.

After all, the population is small, and it is difficult for the Extraordinary Level to fully develop in such a short time. As for the research and development aspect, even in the Martial Arts Extraordinary domain, the foundation required for R&D is still somewhat lacking.

And now, this opportunity is laid directly before them!

Explore the All Heavens!

Obviously, according to Shen Yu's statement, even if there's only a thirty percent chance, discovering a powerful world would mean tremendous benefits.

As for the dangers...

Even if one falls, at worst, they can be resurrected within the Association. What's the big deal?

"This suggestion is excellent." Intersellar world Shen Yu also nodded slightly, showing strong agreement, "I believe this will bring tremendous enthusiasm to most members of the Association!"

The worlds and civilizations of most members in the Association are not particularly strong.

Often, it is only after entering the Association and receiving power from other Shen Yu that they can resolve their worlds' and civilizations' doomsday crises in a short time.

Then, they fall into a predicament.

The development speed is too slow.

The assistance provided by the Association is not much either.

Especially when compared to those powerful civilizations in the Association, the gap is evident.

It can be said that according to the previous situation within the Association, the naturally weak worlds and civilizations of Shen Yu basically could not surpass those Shen Yu who have powerful worlds.

Unless, like Beast Taming Shen Yu, their world originally possesses extremely strong foundations.

However, all of this is going to change from today!

If they could explore the All Heavens, it would give them a chance to reverse the trend and leap ahead!

"Then it's settled." Shen Yu squinted his eyes, looking at the other Shen Yu, especially Wizard Shen Yu and Intersellar Shen Yu. "Since this is not an urgent matter that requires immediate action, according to the Association's rules, we will seek to reduce Gray Mist consumption next, and give thirty percent of the reduced Gray Mist to those who achieve it. Let each act accordingly."

Indeed, this is also one of the Association's rules.

In essence, this rule compensates researchers.

For a long period within the Association, all technology and knowledge were completely shared for free.

Even research projects were.

Any civilization with research needs would directly hand them over to the Shen Yu with research capability.

If it was simple, no reward or payment would be necessary.

Only when the research was very challenging, consuming a lot of time or a certain amount of Gray Mist, would a reward be extracted.

Even then, it was usually very affordable, just covering costs with some symbolic charges.

However, later on, some in the presidium proposed that this was essentially an exploitation of the civilizations with research abilities.

Because it was those civilizations that primarily contributed to the knowledge sharing.

For example, the Intersellar Civilization and the Wizard Civilization.

While other civilizations merely enjoyed the benefits.

And some research required the involvement of powerful Extraordinaries.

Without necessary rewards, research enthusiasm would undoubtedly be diminished.

So, after that meeting, Shen Yu and the presidium unanimously decided that thirty percent of the reduced Gray Mist consumption from research would serve as the reward quota.

This has already become a very reasonable figure.

Even if the Shen Yu of the research civilization takes a cut, the reward that ends up in the hands of the researchers remains highly attractive.

This will comprehensively encourage technological research and development.

To sum it up, such rules and others have actually been continuously improved during the process where the Association moves towards standardization and becomes more extensive.

Therefore, both Wizard Shen Yu and Intersellar Shen Yu are now extremely motivated.

Neither of them chose competition but opted for cooperation instead.

"According to the hints provided by the Gray Mist Space just now, it seems that this 'spaceship' is likely a small world, or rather, a spaceship with a 'small world' shell." Wizard Shen Yu first expressed his opinion.

"Yes." Intersellar Shen Yu nodded slightly, "There isn't even the basic concept of space in the crevice of the All Heavens; it is pure void. Except for what might be the World Source's meeting place, there is absolutely nothing. So, I speculate that the so-called movement of the 'spaceship' is not spatial movement but a change in the world shell's parameters. Therefore, when we alter the world's parameters until they match a certain world precisely, the 'world shell' will successfully arrive."

"A very perfect thought process." Wizard Shen Yu even developed more speculations, "If we can gradually grasp some of the regularities of higher-level worlds on the 'world shell,' perhaps we can selectively screen target worlds..."

These two have, within such a short time, conducted more than one discussion.

At the same time, they constantly consult on Gray Mist consumption based on their discussions.

To find the right path.

Yes, Gray Mist can also be used in this way, and when research capability and knowledge base are strong enough, this method, compared to directly obtaining technology through Gray Mist, can significantly reduce Gray Mist consumption.

However, other Shen Yu can only watch them with envy.

Though, after the Association introduced policies that positively encouraged technological research, many civilizations began to focus on technological research, but at such a high level, only Intersellar Shen Yu and Wizard Shen Yu truly possess technological research capabilities.

Yet Shen Yu seemed to be contemplating and suddenly brought out everything researched from the Primordial World.

Suddenly, the Gray Mist consumption reduced by a large margin!

"Indeed." Shen Yu was quite pleased, "Those Great Powers in the Primordial World, trying to leave the world before, did achieve something, otherwise they wouldn't have been warned by the Heavenly Dao."

This put some pressure on both Intersellar Shen Yu and Wizard Shen Yu.

Another R&D civilization might emerge?

But Shen Yu just waved with a cheerful smile and said, "The accumulation of countless years in the Primordial World is all here. You take it for research. When the reduction in Gray Mist doesn't surpass the cost of time consumption, just go ahead and use the Gray Mist."

These words indicated that Shen Yu would not stop the personnel from conducting research.

Indeed, the Primordial World does have certain research potential.

Most of the Great Powers in this world would not be content to remain stagnant, especially those mighty Daluo Golden Immortals. Even if there's no chance of becoming a Saint, they would continue exploring deeply in other domains.

However, Shen Yu knew very well inside.

The Primordial World lacked an R&D system.

Everyone was making efforts in their own ways, focusing on thinking and developing their areas of interest.

Even if there were occasional sharing and discussions, in terms of efficiency, it could not compare with truly systematic R&D civilizations.

So, Shen Yu planned to first carry out comprehensive rectification and optimization of the Primordial World.

After this meeting, he found his teacher again, Bodhi Ancestor.

Speaking of which, in past myths, many people believed Bodhi Ancestor was an incarnation of Zhunti Daoist, but that was not the case.

However, Bodhi Ancestor did have some connections with Zhunti Daoist.

Now, Shen Yu sought this nominal teacher to promote his plan.

After all, in the entire Primordial World, the force most akin to an 'academy' is the Fangcun Mountain created by Bodhi Ancestor.

An academy is a natural stage for research and development.

It can provide the best foundation for R&D.
