A world will eventually reach its end, flowering and falling until it reaches the cycle of destruction.
He arrived at the origin of this world.
This place was brimming with decay, extinction, annihilation...various forms of deathly aura unsuitable for the existence of living beings.
Before him, this place should have been rich with divine power and origin power. However, as far as the eye could see, wide fields crisscrossed with river-like lacunae had already dried up, with not a trace of origin power to be seen.
Without origin power, the operation of a vast world cannot be maintained.
This place was like an oil lamp that had used up all its oil, leaving behind nothing but a world's corpse, unable to squeeze out even a single drop of oil. It could only wait for the passing of time and the complete collapse and disintegration.
"A world on the verge of destruction."
His Imperial Kingdom was also expanding and growing. This is because Chu Yuan continued to procure resources using the strength of an Imperial Dynasty, replenishing the power of this world.
If the replenishment of power ceased, it would meet the same outcome.
Belief, origin, these are the powers needed most by the Imperial Kingdom.
"Cycle, the cycle of a world."
Chu Yuan thought of many things in an instant.
"Let's go, this world no longer has any value."
Chu Yuan shook his head.
However, when he left this world, he left his battleship behind, and only took Li Jianqing, the Demon Lord Kong Ming, and a few other high-level masters to the Nine You World.
The Starry Sky Battleship was too conspicuous, rashly rushing into the world of Nine You would undoubtedly cause a terrible disturbance.
"We can't waste time on the journey."
Endless voids were opened up, as if a teleportation gate was opened. Chu Yuan, with his profound mana, used the Void Gate to travel at the fastest speed. His speed was so incredible that it seemed almost miraculous.
"Directly shifting in the void! The divine object controlled by His Majesty!"
Demon Lord Kong Ming was shocked, this speed was too fast, perhaps not even a chief deity could achieve this.
"His Majesty is unfathomable!"
Li Jianqing was beginning to find Chu Yuan's depth incalculable.
Crossing an infinite distance, they finally reached the Nine You World!
At this moment, he had already seen the existence of the Nine You World.
In the extremely distant place, there was a world of incomparable grandeur, like the Eternal World. The Nine You World also belonged to the scale of a super-large world.
That great world was also covered by an incredibly thick crystal wall, but the crystal wall of the Eternal World was bright everywhere, filled with eternal dazzling colors, looking extremely beautiful as if the light would last forever.
But the Nine You World was a bit different.
Its divine light was bleak, with a touch of dark gold color, presenting a completely different appearance.
Outside the great world, Chu Yuan also saw many flying ships and numerous masters entering and leaving the Nine You World with their own mana.
Beams of light rose and fell from the crystal wall.
"Such a big world! The world we exist in seems like an egg in comparison!"
Li Jianqing exclaimed.
Yes, their Sword World was too small and its resources were very barren.
"We're entering the Nine You World."
Chu Yuan was already prepared to feel the location of the treasure in the sixth treasure map.
With their cultivation, there would be no hindrance in entering a world. Moreover, many people were coming in and out of the Nine You World. As long as they didn't deliberately display their cultivation, they wouldn't alarm anyone.
"A different divine power aura."
From an extremely high altitude, Chu Yuan saw that the Nine You World was also very prosperous, with densely populated cities and countless strong individuals.
The landscapes and vegetation here were somewhat somber, devoid of the bright and dazzling colors. Even the sky was of a deep color. Numerous stars were sealed in the crystal wall, illuminating this world.
"Each great world has a different style."
Chu Yuan wasn't surprised.
"Your Majesty, what is our purpose in the Nine You World, and what should we do?"
At this moment, Li Jianqing felt a bit lost. He was a pure Sword Cultivator, as was Xu Dao in the Divine Army. They only knew about cultivation, so when they arrived in this unfamiliar world, they didn't know where to start.
"Follow His Majesty's lead."
In contrast, the Demon Lord Kong Ming was much more shrewd.
"I do have many plans at the moment."
Chu Yuan had many ideas in his mind after arriving here, not just to pursue treasures. He commented, "First, let's understand the specific situation of this world, how the forces are distributed, so as to make suitable responses."
"Your Majesty, leave these tasks to me."
The Demon Lord Kong Ming declared.
He left for a while and returned quickly, saying, "Your Majesty, I just caught some strong men of this world. After searching their souls, I've got some information about this place."
"This world only has one overwhelming power, called the Nine You Empire. Interestingly, the reigning monarch of the Nine You Empire is a woman, the Nine You Empress."
The Demon Lord Kong Ming uttered.
"Nine You Empire, Nine You Empress."
Chu Yuan looked intrigued.
The Eternal World was a world full of struggles between different nations, empires, holy lands, and religions, and now the arrival of the Five Emperors was about to set off a great upheaval. It was extremely chaotic.
The Nine You World, on the other hand, was a world of unity. There was only one Nine You Empire and no other clans.
The difference between division and unity.
"Empress, the Nine You Empress."
Chu Yuan muttered quietly.
"Nevertheless, I've learned that although the Nine You World only has one Nine You Empire, it's not as harmonious as I'd imagined. There is one Imperial City, the Nine You Imperial City, where the Empress resides."
Continued Demon Lord Kong Ming: "In addition, there are nine holy cities, representing the nine most powerful forces in the Nine You Empire aside from the Imperial City. Each of them is comparable to the scale of an empire, all wishing to become the emperor of the Nine You Imperial."
Chu Yuan, who ruled a kingdom, understood this.
The Nine You Empress was the strongest being in this world, and she had nine Saint Masters under her command.
Although the nine holy cities were powerful, they were no match for the Nine You Empress.
And the Nine You Empress could not, for the time being and at the least cost, thoroughly dismantle the nine holy cities. Otherwise, initiating a war forcibly would disrupt the country's fortunes, so she let her empire have nine big vassal states within it.
The nine holy cities also knew they couldn't resist the Empress. Although they were plotting some schemes, they didn't dare to confront the Empress's authority.
"Such a system has hidden dangers."
Chu Yuan was very clear. If a nation cannot achieve complete unity, it will be fragile. If there were such vassal kings in his Dawu, he would never let it go. The will of a nation must be unified.
However, on the surface, the Nine You World had only one empire, and the nine holy cities could not really resist the Nine You Empress.
"Since it is a unified world, some plans cannot be implemented, and other measures must be taken."
Chu Yuan was formulating plans based on the situation in the Nine You World.
"The Nine You Imperial City is in the center of the Nine You World, and the location of the treasure in the map is also in the Imperial City."
Chu Yuan was also quite interested in the Nine You Empire's Imperial City. After all, this was the imperial city of a world empire, the core of the entire world!
