Sage of Humanity-Chapter 1672 - 1670: Let Me Try
"Indeed, it is the Yin-Yang Great Millstone!" Hua Qianying showed a look of helplessness. "If it weren't for this marvel of the stellar space, the domain outside might not have become a large domain, but at least it wouldn't have had just a simple vitality. It would've certainly birthed living beings by now. But because of the Yin-Yang Great Millstone, that outer domain is just as you see it, Fellow Daoist."
The Yin-Yang Great Millstone continues to grow, and the nutrients for its growth come from absorbing everything around it. Although the outer domain still has some distance from the Yin-Yang Great Millstone, it still cannot resist the effects brought by this marvel of the stellar space.
Without the attachment and feedback of the Realm King Flower, even the simple vitality of the outer domain would no longer exist.
It is precisely because of the attachment and feedback of the Realm King Flower that this domain hasn't completely turned into a dead or desolate planet.
Currently, that domain can still maintain a simple vitality, but as the Yin-Yang Great Millstone continues to expand, it will eventually fall, and this won't take many years.
In this view, the Realm King Flower indeed greatly aids the growth of a domain. One must know that this is already a desolate star region, where one sees only dead stars, desolate planets, and broken floating lands. Yet the assistance of the Realm King Flower can, to some extent, offset the influences brought by the stellar marvel like the Yin-Yang Great Millstone...
Lu Ye immediately realized the power of this divine object.
If such a divine object were obtained and sold, let's not mention the attitudes of top-tier domains. Those large domains would likely go crazy fighting over it.
Who wouldn't want their domain to ascend to a top-tier domain sooner? However, the elevation of a domain's foundation isn't as simple as a cultivator's cultivation; it requires the accumulation of long ages.
But if there is the attachment of the Realm King Flower, which complements the domain, it will undoubtedly greatly shorten this time.
Only now did Lu Ye understand what Hua Qianying meant when she said the Divine Wind Galactic Pirates Group covets this divine object more than anything. Compared to the Flower Race itself, the value of the Realm King Flower is immeasurable. If they could get it, the Divine Wind Galactic Pirates could completely wash their hands clean. Even if they settled in a large domain, they'd be welcomed as honored guests!
On the other hand, the Nine Provinces needs the Realm King Flower!
The Nine Provinces has just upgraded to a large domain not long ago, and although it has the foundational resources of the Blood Refinement World and the Unparalleled Continent to devour, even if these two domains are devoured, it's a long way from the Nine Provinces to reach a top-tier domain. The Nine Provinces' only advantage is Number Nine. Because of Number Nine's presence, the Nine Provinces is a domain that can rapidly grow. Across the entire stellar space, there aren't many domains like the Nine Provinces.
Otherwise, back then, the one named Yueh Xin wouldn't have been so delighted.
A domain that can grow rapidly, if further assisted by the Realm King Flower... Lu Ye couldn't imagine the beauty of the picture.
His thoughts began to roam, but thinking about the Divine Wind Galactic Pirates Group outside gave him a bit of a headache. 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺
The strength of the entire Divine Wind Galactic Pirates Group is not particularly strong. The key is they have a Moon Jade Late Stage practitioner, which Lu Ye simply can't contend with right now.
After thinking for a while, Lu Ye asked, "The star pirate group outside is trying to find a way to destroy the domain. What impact will it have on the Realm King Flower if the domain is destroyed?"
According to Hua Qianying, the Realm King Flower is attached to the domain, similar to a parasite but not exactly. Lu Ye didn't know what impact the destruction of the domain would have on the Realm King Flower, but it certainly wasn't good.
Hua Qianying replied, "Once the Realm King Flower attaches to a domain, it can never be separated. Without our Flower Race opening a portal, no one can come in. There is only one way to separate it..."
"Destroy the domain to which the Realm King Flower is attached!" Lu Ye realized.
Given this, the Divine Wind Galactic Pirates Group somehow found out there was a Realm King Flower here and knew how to separate it from the domain, so they decided to destroy the domain.
Once the domain is destroyed, the Realm King Flower will be revealed, and at that point, it can naturally be taken.
Upon reaching this point, Hua Qianying showed a sorrowful expression: "Actually, even if the star pirate group outside doesn't destroy the domain, our original plan was to try to destroy it. The Yin-Yang Great Millstone continues to expand, and the feedback from the Realm King Flower can no longer sustain the vitality of this domain for long. Once the vitality of the domain withers, the Realm King's Flower World will also suffer severe damage."
Therefore, for this branch of the Flower Race, the only way out is to destroy the domain themselves before these things happen, take the Realm King Flower, and find another place to settle.
Their requirements for a domain are not high. As long as the environment is not too bad, with the help of the Realm King Flower, the chosen domain can also quickly grow.
"Then why haven't you acted?" Lu Ye asked.
Hua Qianying said bitterly: "We lack sufficient power! To take the Realm King Flower, strong Psyche Force is needed because the Realm King Flower is not a tangible object but a kind of semi-etheric existence. Apart from attaching to a domain, it can only be stored in the Divine Ocean. I only have Constellation, and my Divine Ocean is not enough to hold the Realm King Flower. Forcibly retrieving it might cause my Divine Ocean to collapse."
This is also the difficulty for Hua Qianying's branch of the Flower Race.
They were nurtured by the Flower World of the Realm King Flower, so their strength is closely linked to the level of the Flower World of the Realm King Flower. If it weren't for the constant devouring by the Yin-Yang Great Millstone over the years, the Flower World of the Realm King Flower would have long since grown, and Hua Qianying's strength wouldn't be just at the Constellation level. But because of the Yin-Yang Great Millstone, the Flower World of the Realm King Flower cannot grow.
The level of the Flower World doesn't improve, and the cultivation of the Flower Race cannot advance.
This is the fundamental reason why there is no Moon Jade born in Hua Qianying's branch of the Flower Race.
"Originally, Fellow Daoist Mu He and Fellow Daoist Black Umbrella advanced to Moon Jade. We thought the situation was promising, but the two tried and found it still wasn't possible."
Mu He and Black Umbrella showed a look of guilt nearby.
The Flower Race took them in, giving them a place to stay, and even assisted them in advancing to Moon Jade. Yet, in the end, they couldn't contribute at all, which made them feel guilty. Ultimately, it was because their Divine Soul Power wasn't strong enough.
"I left the Flower World to head to the All Phenomena Ocean before, looking for a trustworthy strong individual who could help us, but unfortunately, I found none."
Counting on the Flower Race alone was not feasible. Without its level being raised, the Flower World could only foster cultivators up to the Constellation level at best, which was akin to the Nine Provinces having only the Divine Sea Realm in the past.
Therefore, the Flower Race thought of seeking assistance, but according to Hua Qianying's estimation, to claim the World King Flower would require at least a Moon Jade Late Stage. As a Constellation Late Stage, she found few opportunities in the All Phenomena Ocean to interact with such strong individuals, and even if she did, she couldn't be sure about their character.
After lingering in the All Phenomena Ocean for years, she eventually had to return, only to face the crisis soon after coming back.
The domain is now under attack and will be breached in a matter of days. Once the World King Flower is revealed, the Flower Race's future looks bleak.
Their only hope now is to unite the Flower Race, Wood Spirit, and Spore Race, to counterattack the instant the domain is breached, hoping to defeat the enemy.
But the opponent had a Moon Jade Late Stage overseeing things and another Moon Jade Early Stage as well. Even if Mu He and Black Umbrella advanced to Moon Jade, they would be no match.
Moreover, there are several Tiger Shark battleships outside, watching menacingly. The power they unleash is akin to a Moon Jade attacking.
Once the domain breaks, the three races might face defeat and enslavement.
"Does claiming the World King Flower require Divine Soul Power?" Lu Ye mused.
"Yes," Hua Qianying nodded. If she could advance to Moon Jade, leveraging her race's inherent traits and connection to the World King Flower, claiming it wouldn't be too difficult. But she couldn't advance to Moon Jade.
"May I give it a try?" Lu Ye asked.
He was confident his Divine Soul Power surpassed that of his peers, thanks to the numerous nourishing items he consumed to strengthen his psyche.
Yet, Mu He and Black Umbrella had both tried and failed. He wasn't sure how much stronger his Divine Soul Power was compared to theirs, but given the situation, he had to try anything possible.
Should it succeed, there might be a glimmer of hope. If not, a desperate fight would be the only option.
Hua Qianying evidently understood this too, so she didn't refuse Lu Ye's request: "Of course you can, but Fellow Daoist, be careful. Although it's just a trial, it's still fraught with danger. If anything seems amiss, please stop immediately!"
During her time in the All Phenomena Ocean, among all the people she met, her impression of Lu Ye was the best. In the years spent there, he was the only cultivator who offered her help. Had Lu Ye been a Moon Jade Late Stage, she would have likely asked for his assistance. But since they both were only Constellation Late Stage, she hadn't brought it up.
Lu Ye nodded, "What do I need to do?"
"Hang on!" Hua Qianying said, as her soul force began to surge.
Soon, the entire Flower World started to tremble, as if something was being birthed.
Countless glimmers of light fluttered from all directions, drawing the attention of all living beings in the Flower World.
Despite its vastness, the Flower World wasn't densely inhabited. The combined population of the three tribes barely reached two hundred.
In Lu Ye's view, the countless lights gathered in front of Hua Qianying, swiftly forming a flower.
The flower was about the size of a human head, pure white and immaculate, looking unremarkable.
Yet, it was one of the most precious treasures of the stellar space, the projection of the World King Flower!
The real World King Flower was still entrenched in the domain, invisible until the domain is breached. What Lu Ye saw now was merely a projection.
Though just a projection, it was condensed from the essence of the World King Flower. Attempting to claim it was no simple task for Lu Ye.
Conversely, if Lu Ye could claim this projection, it would mean he could claim the World King Flower itself!
Hua Qianying said, "You can channel your soul force like refining a treasure to refine it, and see if you can draw it into your Divine Sea."
Lu Ye nodded, proceeding as instructed, letting his soul force surge toward the projection of the World King Flower.
