The ability of cause and effect in the Virtual World has actually been at work all along.
However, the range usually covers two areas: the Source Star and the apex world. Within these areas, whether or not there are believers of his, the final outcome remains the same, so he never paid attention.
As the cause and effect entry of the Virtual World appeared, the progress bar increased, and the range expanded, already appearing in other areas.
The Daluo World is one among them, and it’s the most valuable one.
"There are altogether seven regions with believers... it seems these seven regions are around the Source Star and the apex world, allowing Huangtian to develop towards the nearest region. But for me, the focus is still the Daluo World."
What he needs are top-tier materials; the stronger the area’s strength, the higher the potential for emerging top-tier materials.
Excluding the Daluo World, the other six regions do not have worlds marked on the Star Map; they’re too shallow in terms of resources, and for him, they are barely satisfactory. Finding Pure Yin and Yang Materials counts as a success.
Even if the development is delayed, once he breaks through, the value of Pure Yin and Yang Materials will greatly diminish.
Only things like the Nine Heavens Opening Sword and Starry Sky Gold can attract his interest.
Therefore, his gaze is more focused on the Daluo World.
The possibility of making a connection with him is only through "Revolution and Rebirth," commonly manifesting as rebellion.
He never expected that there would be anyone daring to rebel in the Daluo World.
Yes, "daring" to rebel.
He’s already learned a lot about the Daluo World from Hua Yu.
The Heavenly Emperor is a person of extreme autocracy, exceedingly tyrannical, and if displeased, even those of the Tenth Realm would be killed.
This is the main reason why Hua Yu directly ran away with Hei Yang.
On the surface, the Heavenly Emperor seems indifferent to the Nine Heavens World, but Hua Yu knows very well.
The Nine Heavens World is extremely important.
Failing to detect the individuals from the Ten Thousand Tribulations Continent, having the Ten Thousand Tribulations Continent take advantage of the loophole, missing the first opportunity, ensures that even if alive, they’d be in ruins.
Of course, this also stems from his own thoughts of breaking away; otherwise, he wouldn’t have risked injuries to lift the limitations imposed by the Heavenly Emperor, nor would his clansmen hide so swiftly.
Upon discovering these details, Wang Sheng speculates that there must be many powerful individuals in the Daluo World dissatisfied with the Heavenly Emperor.
Though these powerhouses are not as strong as the Heavenly Emperor, they are top-tier powerhouses in the starry sky, yet treated like slaves and left with restrictions. As long as they have emotions, most creatures would develop inner dissatisfaction.
But also because of this, Wang Sheng initially did not believe the powerhouses of the Daluo World dared to resist.
After all, with restrictions in place, who would dare to rebel casually?
The key point is, Hua Yu had the courage to flee because he wasn’t under the Heavenly Emperor’s watch. If he were in the Daluo World, even with a thousand lives, he wouldn’t dare entertain the thought of resistance until his dying day.
The power of the Eleventh Realm is indeed no illusion!
"Establishing a connection with me is not as simple as merely thinking about it; one must be truly determined to act, even already in action—I’d like to see whose courage is so grand."
Quickly, he perceives who has contacted him.
The five Tenth Realm Immortals of the Daluo World, the Yuntian Immortal.
Residence of the Yuntian Immortal.
"The Heavenly Emperor and the Calamity Lord have not appeared for quite a while; it seems just as perceived, that the previous battle left both with considerable injuries. But what’s more important is whether the acquired perception is true?"
The gaze of the Yuntian Immortal flickers.
He has waited for this day for a very long time!
"I must thank Hua Yu; otherwise, I wouldn’t have acquired such crucial information."
Hua Yu’s sudden departure was a disaster for the vast majority of powerhouses in the Daluo World.
Because Hua Yu somehow resolved the limitations left on them by the Heavenly Emperor.
The Heavenly Emperor suspects other powerhouses also possess such means, thus imposes new restrictions on them again.
As a result, even those prepared like Hua Yu, ready with means to abandon, find themselves powerless.
After all, lifting a single restriction requires a great deal of time.
Judging from the Heavenly Emperor’s actions, it’s likely that he will periodically impose different restrictions continuously.
With bad luck, one may never escape the oppressive power of the Heavenly Emperor.
Nowadays, there are powerhouses secretly cursing Hua Yu every day.
However, they also know clearly that, if placed on Hua Yu’s side, they would decisively make the same choice.
But Yuntian Immortal is different.
Truth be told, he has long been able to break free from the control of the Heavenly Emperor, and even with new restrictions imposed, it remains the same.
Yet he has different thoughts.
As the most trusted person of the Heavenly Emperor, his strength is the greatest, with the most restrictions.
Though for him, the more the restrictions, the better.
"The more restrictions the Heavenly Emperor imposes on me, the stronger my connection with the Heavenly Emperor becomes. After the battle with the Calamity Lord, he had already sustained considerable injuries, but shortly after, the injuries seemed to worsen, and even his strength diminished. Is this true?"
He once acquired an incredible artifact.
It enables him to perceive the Heavenly Emperor’s state through the restrictions, and this serves as an essential treasure for seeking opportunities.
Recently, he sensed repeatedly that the Heavenly Emperor sustained injuries, and it’s still being suppressed.
He knows this might be the best opportunity.
But given the Heavenly Emperor’s name suppressing the Daluo World for millions of years, he fears this might be the Heavenly Emperor’s scheme.
Thus, he hesitates to act on a large scale and dares only to plan secretly.
Once rebellious thoughts arise, there’s no way to restrain them.
After thinking long and hard, he lets out a sigh:
"I have no room to turn back now. If the matters committed in secret are exposed, death is certain!"
