Sage of Humanity-Chapter 1533 - 1531: It Might Really Exist

Lu Ye was actually somewhat confident about this matter. He didn't intend to hide anything from the strong individuals of the Indeterminate Star System; as long as he could meet them and explain the situation of All Phenomena Ocean, he believed they would be happy to get involved.

No one could refuse the allure of All Phenomena Ocean, which is almost the center of this entire stellar space. Who wouldn't want to connect with such a place?

However, if this happens, he would have to bring people from Qingli Dao World and Jade Conch World along the way from Nine Provinces, and upon reaching here, also bring along people from the Indeterminate Star System. The fleet would naturally be enormous.

Entering the Changyun Galaxy afterward, it is uncertain whether this would provoke hostility from the locals...

He could only take one step at a time, as he couldn't predict what would happen years later; when one reaches the mountain, one will find a way.

Collecting his thoughts, Lu Ye asked, "Brother Duu Lang, what is the status of the Red Sky Continent in the Indeterminate Star System? Does your domain have any Sun Blaze strong individuals?"

If Red Sky has Sun Blaze, then things would be much easier.

Duu Lang shook his head with a bitter smile: "If Red Sky had Sun Blaze, we wouldn't have fallen into such a dire situation today."

"How so?" Lu Ye frowned, noticing that Duu Lang's life didn't seem to be going well.

Duu Lang sighed: "Brother Lu, do you remember I once talked to you about the issues of our home world?"

Lu Ye then recalled that back when he mined with Duu Lang, Duu Lang indeed mentioned the problems of the Red Sky Continent, whose foundation was dwindling, causing the domain to weaken. So, within the Taichu Realm, he had no other pursuits but merely wanted to mine some spirit jade and return, hoping to delay the decline of Red Sky.

Within stellar space, the number of domains is too numerous to count; some grow robust like newborns, while others are aging, their days numbered.

Nine Provinces is a domain growing vigorously, whereas the Red Sky Continent is the complete opposite.

The weakening of a domain's foundation brings about many issues, impacting the group of cultivators the most. Within a domain, the maximum level of cultivation a cultivator can achieve is directly associated with the strength of the domain's foundation.

Once, the Red Sky Continent was a powerful entity; though not at the tier of top domains, it was still one of the strongest among the domains in the Indeterminate Star System, often having three to five Sun Blaze individuals overseeing it.

But as the foundation weakened, Sun Blaze strong individuals aged and passed away, and the cultivation of Red Sky cultivators gradually suffered.

Especially within the recent millennium, the decline of Red Sky's foundation has been severe, leading to the point where the domain can no longer generate spirit light, which prevents the Divine Sea from advancing to Constellation.

If this continues, the level of Red Sky will further decline, gradually changing, so the highest achievements of cultivators within the domain will continuously be suppressed until the domain lacks nature's spiritual energy and becomes unsuitable for cultivation.

Of course, such weakening would last many years, and the lives of ordinary people wouldn't experience significant direct impacts.

Currently, Red Sky has no Sun Blaze, a few Moon Jade, and it's difficult for new Constellations to arise. This is practically an apocalypse for the entire Red Sky cultivation world.

To seek a way forward, Red Sky can only depend on the strongest domain in the home galaxy, which is the Indeterminate World, in exchange for a few cultivators to qualify for advancement to Constellation.

Since the home domain can no longer enable cultivators to advance from Divine Sea to Constellation, they can only send those with potential to the Indeterminate World for nurturing.

But such quotas are ultimately few. Each year, Red Sky can only send three individuals to the Indeterminate World. Whether these three can successfully advance to Constellation is uncertain; sometimes, luck is good and one or two advance; other times, luck is bad, and none do.

And for this matter, Red Sky has paid a significant price, to the extent that currently, the cultivators of the Red Sky Continent live under the roof of the Indeterminate, acting according to others' whims.

Duu Lang and a senior brother from the home domain came here once, one for seeking spirit jade for cultivation, the other for an opportunity; but here encountered a Constellation Late Stage Indeterminate cultivator named Xu Dingyang, the one who abandoned him and fled alone.

The two brothers of Duu Lang were forcibly enlisted by Xu Dingyang... They had no choice but to follow him and act together.

The result was encountering this group of star beasts, fighting fiercely to no avail, Duu Lang's senior brother was killed on the spot, and Xu Dingyang fled. If Lu Ye hadn't intervened, Duu Lang would have long died.

After listening, Lu Ye couldn't help but sigh: "I see this place is a mixed bag of individuals from the four galaxies, coexisting together. If you seek spirit jade, there's no need to come here."

Duu Lang replied: "We don't want to come here either; it's just the home domain is failing, nearby stellar spaces are filled with figures of other domain cultivators, and finding spirit jade is extremely difficult. We can only try our luck here."

Generally speaking, the nearby space of a domain is where its cultivators search for spirit jade; other domain cultivators wouldn't easily intrude, or it would be a provocation.

But now, the power of the Red Sky Continent is too weak and relies on others; cultivators of the domains in the Indeterminate Star System have ceased caring about the feelings of Red Sky cultivators. Even if spirit jade is nurtured near Red Sky, it's all harvested by other domain cultivators.

Pushed by the circumstances, Duu Lang and his brother had no choice but to come here.

After thinking for a moment, Duu Lang said, "Moreover, we didn't come here just for the spirit jade. If we can get that opportunity, even if we can't keep it ourselves, offering it up later could significantly improve Red Sky's situation."

"What kind of opportunity is it exactly?" Lu Ye had heard Duu Lang mention it several times, and even if he wasn't particularly interested, he was intrigued.

Yet Duu Lang shook his head, "Actually, I'm not sure what kind of opportunity it is. It's just that over a hundred years ago, words started spreading among the nearby star systems that there was a great opportunity in this desolate land. Since then, people have been exploring it."

Lu Ye chuckled, "You don't even know what kind of opportunity it is, yet you rushed over here. Aren't you afraid the information is wrong? And after all these years, even if there was such an opportunity, it's probably been seized long ago."

However, Duu Lang shook his head seriously, "The information isn't wrong. I've asked the elders of our domain and they said this matter is real, and that the opportunity is still there, not yet acquired by anyone."

Lu Ye was skeptical, "Duu Lang, think about it. If there truly is such a great opportunity, why haven't the Moon Jades and Sun Blazes taken action? The cultivators I've encountered recently are all Constellations, not a single Moon Jade or Sun Blaze in sight."

Duu Lang explained, "I'm not entirely sure of the specifics, but it seems that a hundred years ago, the Sun Blazes of the surrounding four star systems reached an agreement that except for Constellations, neither Moon Jades nor Sun Blazes are allowed into this area. The opportunity here is only for the Constellations of the four star systems to compete for, which is why you don't see any Moon Jades or Sun Blazes."

Lu Ye couldn't help but frown, feeling that this whole thing was somewhat unreliable.

Seeing this, Duu Lang said, "Brother Lu, you are also a combat cultivator. This opportunity is specifically for combat cultivators. Since you are here, why not give it a try? Given your cultivation, you might have a chance."

"An opportunity for combat cultivators?" Lu Ye was greatly surprised. Is there such a thing as faction-specific opportunities?

But then he thought about it again. Recently, most of the cultivators he had encountered were combat cultivators, which was indeed strange. Moreover, it wasn't just Duu Lang searching for this opportunity; cultivators from the four star systems were as well. If the opportunity was baseless, it wouldn't attract so many people.

This opportunity... might actually exist!

Duu Lang sighed, "Ultimately, Red Sky isn't strong enough. Others probably know what the opportunity truly is, but unfortunately us Red Sky cultivators do not. Otherwise, we could clear things up for Brother Lu."

Lu Ye thought for a moment and asked, "Who is Luo Shenzhi?"

Duu Lang replied, "He is a descendant of a Sun Blaze Overlord from the Daluo Galaxy and is considered the strongest in the Constellation Realm across these four star systems. Brother Lu, have you received a summons from Luo Shenzhi?"

Lu Ye nodded, "A few days ago, someone came over to deliver a message, asking me to go to some Planet Tengu."

"We received it too earlier. In fact, over the past century, the opportunity has appeared several times, but no one has been able to seize it. It seems like it has shown up again, on Planet Tengu. Luo Shenzhi probably discovered something but is unable to solve it, which is why he's gathering people. Brother Lu, if you're not in a hurry, you might as well go and have a look."

Seeing Lu Ye remain silent, Duu Lang said, "Planet Tengu is just ahead; it's not out of your way."

"On the way, huh?" Lu Ye was surprised, "Then let's go and have a look."

The earlier battle had left Duu Lang somewhat injured, so he spent the following time on the starboat healing.

Lih Shang's voice suddenly reached Lu Ye's ears, "Fellow Daoist, should I call you Li Taibai, or Lu Yiye?"

Previously, when solving the Blue Jade World problem with Lu Ye, a Blood Race Constellation had directly revealed Lu Ye's name. Although Lih Shang found it strange at the time, she didn't think much of it.

It wasn't until this time when she heard Duu Lang repeatedly calling "Brother Lu" that she realized there was something wrong with the name Li Taibai.

Lu Ye looked up at her, only to see her looking at him with a playful smile. Unbothered, he transmitted back, "A name is just a code, Fellow Daoist. You can call me whatever you like. But my real name is Lu Ye. People call me Lu Yiye, and I can't do anything about it. Li Taibai is just an alias."

He had also been called Ye Liu and Fa Wuzun before…

"Why do people call you Lu Yiye?" Lih Shang was puzzled.

Lu Ye said, "In my homeland, there's a little gadget for testing a cultivator's aptitude. It's said that leaf growth of sixty-four is the peak of aptitude. When I was tested, only one leaf grew, so some unethical fellow gave me the nickname Yiye, and it just spread."

Lih Shang was stunned for a while before suddenly covering her mouth and laughing, a look of absolute amusement on her face, "Sixty-four leaves is the best, and you got just one?"

This was the greatest joke in the world.

Although Lih Shang hadn't met many Foreign Clan cultivators, she was sure that no one in the Constellation Realm could match Lu Ye. After all, she had personally witnessed how Lu Ye navigated skillfully and decisively among the many Blood Race cultivators.

For someone like him to have only one leaf of aptitude, the little gadget that tests aptitude must have a big problem!
