Soon after, a giant bird-like creature was thrown down.

The bird that was thrown down was a Celestial-level Creature, although it was only at the early Celestial stage.

The moment it landed on the Altar, a sudden burst of light from the altar enveloped it.

Under the surprised gaze of Yang Yuan and Jiang Yiyi, that light quickly contracted and instantly turned into two chains, locking the bird’s legs.

"Yang Yuan, this scene feels so familiar." Jiang Yiyi said.

Yang Yuan nodded: "The altar we saw next to the Sky Pit back then should be this type of altar."

"That bird is so pitiful."

Jiang Yiyi, thinking of something, said: "Yang Yuan, should we give it a hand?"

"Don’t rush." Yang Yuan patted Jiang Yiyi’s head, patiently waiting.

As expected, the Meng Star Civilization’s Celestial-level Creature in the sky made another move, casting magical runes, enveloping the entire city below.

As those runes fell into the city, the entire city gradually became enveloped by a massive Array.

A tangible energy shield appeared, but quickly receded again, as if nothing had happened.

The Celestial-level Creature from the Meng Star Civilization left after completing this task, coming and going in a hurry.

Evidently, there were other places on this planet needing attention.

"Yang Yuan?" Jiang Yiyi looked at Yang Yuan.

"Don’t rush yet, the people from Meng Star Civilization are still here, whatever we do now is futile, let’s wait for these guys to leave first." Yang Yuan said, taking Jiang Yiyi with him, tailing the Celestial-level Creature from the Meng Star Civilization.

The Meng Star Civilization’s Celestial-level Creature soon arrived at the other end of the planet.

There was also a large city here, bigger than the previous one, housing at least seven or eight billion beings... or rather, bird-beings.

At this time, streams of light shot out, which were numerous Celestial-level Creatures.

Soon, all the Celestial-level Creatures from Meng Star Civilization converged here, jointly suppressing a Heaven’s Limit-level heron down here.

Then, everyone cooperated to construct a larger Altar, suppressing that Heaven’s Limit Celestial-level Creature onto the altar.

During this time, Yang Yuan had already called Zhao Jiayan out as well, letting her witness these super civilization methods, broadening her horizons.

Under their watchful eyes, all the Celestial-level Creatures from Meng Star Civilization jointly arranged for a larger Array, covering the entire city within it.

This time, perhaps with prior experience, Yang Yuan observed carefully and noticed that the Array had a connection with the world’s will of this planet, with an intangible force penetrating all beings on this planet.

All creatures within this city were being gradually transformed by the Array.

As the transformation proceeded, Yang Yuan was astonished to find that within the bodies of the city’s inhabitants, all life essence was flowing toward the heart, eventually forming into a Spirit Monster Core.

This scene made him squint slightly, once again sensing the power and eeriness of the Game Government, able to forcibly convert normal creatures into spirit monsters.

However, he also noticed that the Spirit Monster Cores within those creatures converted into spirit monsters seemed closely linked to the massive Array enveloping the entire city.

If his guess was correct, after those creatures were killed, the Spirit Monster Core would presumably hide away, to revive later.

And those who killed the so-called spirit monsters, or players, wouldn’t acquire a Spirit Monster Core but instead would gain something akin to the Power of Creation, to enhance their cultivation.

"Truly a wondrous yet eerie method, capable of turning normal creatures into spirit monsters." Zhao Jiayan said.

Yang Yuan nodded, then shook his head: "Those creatures aren’t true spirit monsters; they don’t possess the true traits of spirit monsters, just the Spirit Monster Core."

Zhao Jiayan, naturally having discerned this too, almost having the capability of an Appraiser in this regard.

Upon reaching Celestial-level, even without direct touch, she could tell at a glance the flaws or perfection in most things viewed from afar.

If she were to intervene, perhaps she could truly turn them into spirit monsters.

However, the Celestial-level Creatures from the Meng Star Civilization are just doing a job here, and the Game Government focuses on mass-producing spirit monsters.

Even if some governments have the means to turn normal creatures into perfect spirit monsters, such mass-produced spirit monsters don’t need to be so flawless.

As long as the purpose is served.

About a day later.

The Celestial-level Creatures from Meng Star Civilization left.

The bird might have to be bound here for many years like the Dragon King before, perhaps never escaping, forever tormented, watching its kin being slaughtered, the planet’s essence plundered, yet powerless.

Zhao Jiayan, in a complex tone, asked: "Should we give them a hand? With our abilities, plus your Hunter’s Arm Crossbow, we shouldn’t have trouble killing those Celestial-level Creatures from Meng Star Civilization."

"Don’t rush."

Yang Yuan said: "I’m worried that the Demon God level creature from the Game Government might still be nearby, let’s continue watching for a while, after all, had we not come, the fate of this planet’s creatures was already sealed. Later, if we are capable, lending a hand wouldn’t hurt, no need to get ourselves trapped too."

Zhao Jiayan nodded.

The three continued to follow the group of Heaven’s Creatures from Meng Star Civilization.

With Jiang Yiyi’s abilities, they were like invisible ghosts, even when following closely, those Celestial-level Creatures from Meng Star Civilization didn’t notice a thing.

"Are there really only two cities on this planet?"

Zhao Jiayan exclaimed: "With such a large planet, I thought there would be hundreds of billions or even thousands of billions of intelligent creatures."

Yang Yuan thought for a moment, replied: "Nearly 1 billion intelligent creatures isn’t few, considering super creatures like Celestial-level ones require immense resources for sustenance. This planet’s resources can’t support billions of such intelligent beings. Besides resource issues, there’s also the matter of reproduction; such creatures probably have weak reproductive abilities."

"Look, Yang Yuan, they’ve split up." Suddenly Jiang Yiyi said.

They saw all Celestial-level Creatures from Meng Star Civilization split up, and hundreds of Celestial-level Creatures dispersed, flying out into the planetary atmosphere.

"What are they planning to do?" Zhao Jiayan wondered.

"Follow and we’ll find out." Yang Yuan said, leading the two girls, trailing one of the Heaven’s Limit behind.

Soon, they too reached the outer atmosphere of this planet, and saw hundreds of Celestial-level Creatures from the Meng Star Civilization surrounding the entire planet, performing some method.

Under the cooperation of these hundreds of Celestial-level Creatures, mysterious runes flew out, entering the core of this planet.

Some runes were imprinted within the atmosphere, but more were imprinted into the core of the planet, the land masses, or the oceans.

Gradually, a super Array enveloping the whole planet emerged.

Yang Yuan, observed alongside his two companions, realized that all creatures within the core of this planet were changing, all life essences converging toward crucial points, eventually forming a Spirit Monster Core.

Zhao Jiayan couldn’t help but gasp: "To mutate all creatures on the entire planet, it’s terrifying."

It’s not only terrifying but also cruel.

However, those Celestial-level Creatures from Meng Star Civilization maintained indifferent expressions, unblinking.

Evidently, they have done this too many times to find it unusual.

About half a month later, the super Array encompassing the entire planet was completed.

Then, those Celestial-level Creatures from Meng Star Civilization gathered again, seemingly discussing something?

Yang Yuan eavesdropped using "Visual Sound," discovering those Celestial-level Creatures from Meng Star Civilization were actually discussing who would stay behind to oversee.

In the end, only a Celestial-level early-stage creature with bad luck was left behind.

Evidently, this stationed task wasn’t favorable.

But it seemed there were benefits, albeit with boredom.

Eventually, aside from that unfortunate Celestial-level early-stage creature, all other Celestial-level Creatures departed, heading towards each of their spaceships, entering their respective spaceships.

Before long, nine spaceships took off, disappearing into the depths of space.

Once the nine spaceships disappeared from sight, the early-stage Celestial creature left behind reluctantly descended back to the planet’s core.

Yang Yuan and his companions exchanged a glance, then silently followed.
