But regrettably, the other immortals accompanying these three suffered heavy losses.

For example, the Meishan brothers.

Although these immortals were only known as the followers of Erlang Shen in mythical stories, they are still widely recognized as mythological figures.

At this moment, three of them unexpectedly perished.

For Erlang Shen, this is undoubtedly a significant blow.

However, reviving immortals at the Golden Immortal level has relatively lower difficulty, so if Erlang Shen is willing to pay the price, it's not impossible to resurrect them.

In summary, after spending three months exploring thoroughly, High-Level Martial Artist Shen Yu returned to the Association.

He wanted to report in person.

"From the current situation, we haven't found any direct traces of other forces within this world; all traces and evidence are at the level of the laws," High-Level Martial Artist Shen Yu directly presented all the intelligence he personally explored and recorded.

This intelligence made it clear to all Shen Yu that the laws of this world indeed have issues.

Though externally appearing as singular laws, in reality, there are several other Extraordinary rules of the same level present.

However, these Extraordinary rules don't function on the Extraordinary beings.

They are specifically used to lock the singular Blood and Flesh Law, preventing its evolution.

"This basically confirms the existence of All Heavens Forces," interstellar world Shen Yu exhaled deeply, "I didn't expect to encounter them so soon, but this is also a good thing; at least we discovered their traces now rather than them discovering us."

Needless to say, when many Shen Yu truly stepped into the All Heavens realm, they had been waiting for the day they'd meet other All Heavens Forces.

However, no one predicted that this day would come so quickly.

All Heavens Forces are different from any other forces they've encountered before.

It's not just powerful; it represents endless possibilities.

Who knows if they possess another Gray Mist Space?

Being cautious is necessary.

"However, from the records you've provided, these tethering laws seem to have loosened," Wizard Shen Yu suddenly remarked.

The other Shen Yu quickly turned their attention.

Soon they found out Wizard Shen Yu was right.

"Indeed, there have been changes," interstellar world Shen Yu mused, "This is reasonable, after all, the Core Technique directly manifests within the Extraordinary System's application. Over countless years, countless Extraordinary beings have likely been exploring alternative applications for blood and flesh power, which would inevitably feedback into the evolution of the laws. Meanwhile, these tethering laws have remained unchanged over time, leading to an inevitable change in balance. In other words, without external interference, the singular law world is bound to be broken."

interstellar world Shen Yu emphasized "without external interference."

The other Shen Yu understood his underlying message.

This is quite understandable.

Since these limitations are artificially imposed, even if they loosen with time, they only need continuous reinforcement.

Yet, the current situation appears not to have been reinforced.

"Such loosening of tethering laws requires a timeframe measured in billions of years," Shen Yu spoke and revealed the guess lingering in everyone's minds, "Does this mean the All Heavens Forces that created this distorted world haven't returned in billions of years, or even—that they are possibly unable to return?"

Even All Heavens Forces are not guaranteed to be carefree.

If not, the Association as members of the All Heavens Forces would have nothing to worry about.

In truth, All Heavens Forces can also be destroyed by other All Heavens Forces.

Hence, Shen Yu's speculation is quite plausible.

"I have a suggestion," High-Level Martial Artist Shen Yu said, "We take a bit of risk and directly gain complete control of this world at the law level. If there are hidden back-up measures left by the All Heavens Forces who created this world, they are likely deep within the laws, and once we gain full control, we will uncover them."

"What if it's an extremely dangerous back-up measure?" Cultivator Shen Yu raised a concern.

But High-Level Martial Artist Shen Yu was not too concerned, merely waving his hand and saying, "It's impossible to explore All Heavens without undertaking some risks. Risk has existed since the day we entered the true All Heavens realm. What we need to do is minimize risk as much as possible, and in my view, we've done well—My friends, while cautiousness is important, we should not underestimate ourselves too much."

The other Shen Yu pondered but understood High-Level Martial Artist Shen Yu's meaning.

Although they are all Shen Yu, different worlds and different key Extraordinary systems have led to certain personality differences.

High-Level Martial Artist Shen Yu and Martial Artist Shen Yu clearly have more adventurous spirits.

While interstellar world Shen Yu, Wizard Shen Yu, and Cultivator Shen Yu prefer being more cautious.

In such a situation, the pressure of making the decision fell on Shen Yu.

After careful consideration, Shen Yu made the decision.

"We'll follow High-Level Martial Artist Shen Yu's plan, but before it's fully completed, we must sever all connections between the Association or other worlds within the Association and you four from the High Martial World, to prevent risk from expanding," Shen Yu stated.

This is what he considers the best way to handle the situation.

If High-Level Martial Artist Shen Yu ultimately sacrifices himself or loses track, Shen Yu won't hastily investigate.

Instead, he will first strengthen himself or use the Gray Mist to more reasonably and securely resolve civilization.

"No problem, let's do it," High-Level Martial Artist Shen Yu agreed in one breath, "I can send back the other three, and as for myself, I can temporarily sever contact with the High Martial World."

Unlike the other three who were nurtured to become Martial Arts Venerable, High-Level Martial Artist Shen Yu hasn't truly fused with the High Martial World's laws.

Instead, he controlled it with the Celestial Dao Tree.

Temporary severance won't have any impact.

This is one of the major advantages of the Celestial Dao Tree system.

Having made all necessary preparations, all Shen Yu stopped observing High-Level Martial Artist Shen Yu.

Time passed swiftly as they waited.

It took thirteen years for High-Level Martial Artist Shen Yu's communication to come through again.

"I succeeded!" High-Level Martial Artist Shen Yu's tone was quite excited, "I've found the device left by the All Heavens Forces in this world and can confirm that the current status of that All Heavens Force is indeed 'out of contact.'"

These past years, High-Level Martial Artist Shen Yu meticulously controlled the world's law forces.

Once he reached a certain level, he independently fought against thirteen "Flesh and Blood Saints."

Achieving great victory.

Though they are of the same life tier, battling these individuals allowed High-Level Martial Artist Shen Yu to fully experience the "super civilization" crushing.

It felt like facing a group of physically strong and powerful primitive people while holding a fully loaded rifle.

The battle was remarkably easy.

High-Level Martial Artist Shen Yu thought these individuals somewhat insulted the "Primordial Daluo Golden Immortal" tier.

Nonetheless, alone and without any resources, High-Level Martial Artist Shen Yu gained complete control of the world.

From laws to civilization.

In fact, others in the Association weren't entirely uninformed.

They indeed severed all severable connections, but some connections were unavoidable.

For instance, the continuously increasing Gray Mist quantity within the Gray Mist Space.

Though the world wouldn't necessarily be immediately destroyed, the majority of existing civilizations now face extinction — they're merely livestock of flesh and blood being raised.
