Heavenly Ranking

Chapter 451 Emptiness
"President Ji, regarding the state of all living beings... do you have a way to reverse it?"

Yuan Yi looked at Ji Fuyou with some anticipation.

"They commit suicide because their hearts are consumed by emptiness. If there are intelligent beings who can help them fill this emptiness, it should effectively alleviate their condition."

Ji Fuyou said, "Of course, the best way is for the Wanling race to abandon this false pursuit of 'immortality'."

Yuan Yi felt somewhat helpless after hearing this.

He knew this, of course, but...

From frugality to luxury is easy, from luxury to frugality.

That's easier said than done.

"Alright, I will establish connections between the Myriad Spirits Realm and some of the Void God Realms, using the 'vitality' of other beings to dilute the 'death aura' on the Myriad Spirits Clan, thereby delaying the effect..."

At this point, Ji Fuyou paused, "Moreover, as long as new civilizations continue to join and bring fresh vitality, it should be able to effectively prevent the beings of the Myriad Spirits Realm from collapsing."

Yuan nodded.

That was his original plan.

Meanwhile, new civilizations continue to make contact with the Realm of All Spirits through the Realm of the Divine Realm...

This must rely on a powerful civilization.

Looking at all 63 civilizations in the Heaven and Earth Alliance, which civilization is more powerful than Crimson Star?
This is also why they ultimately chose to hand over the authority to Ji Fuyou.

"The people of the Myriad Spirits Realm can barely support the Void God Realm, and I will directly entrust you with the task of bringing the Myriad Spirits Realm into the Void God Realm. In other words, I will give you authority similar to opening and closing a door. You can decide whether to allow outsiders to enter the Myriad Spirits Realm when they visit."

Ji Fuyou Road.

Yuan Yi originally wanted to obtain the authority to modify the Virtual God Realm. Although the authority he had, which only granted him the right to "deny access," was far from the authority he could "freely edit," it was still enough to make him overjoyed.

"Thank you, Chairman Ji."

"Ah."

Ji Fuyou made a gesture with his hand.

He handed over the Void God Realm, which was built around the Wanling race, and a portion of its authority to Yuan Yi.

At the same time, he also invoked the power of the void to transmit signals, connecting the Void God Realms of the Mechanical God Cult, the Illusion Clan, and the Shining Star world with the Void God Realm of the Myriad Spirits Clan, thus giving these three Void God Realms, which were limited to one region, the basis for connection.

As for Akahoshi's side...

He doesn't plan to let them have contact with each other for the time being.

"Next, I will try to find a way to improve the mental state of the Wanling race."

Ji Fuyou Road.

"That's great, I'll arrange accommodations for you right away, Chairman Ji."

Yuan Yi quickly replied.

"No need."

Ji Fuyou waved his hand: "I can go back to Chixing. I hold the power over the void, so the distance between the two realms is not far for me."

He came here mainly to familiarize himself with the area.

"The authority of the void..."

Yuan Yi secretly envied him, but still politely said, "President Ji has come to visit our Wanling Civilization, please allow us to give him a proper welcome and show him the hospitality of a host..."

"There will be plenty of time later. For now, let's try to solve the problem first."

Ji Fuyou Road.

Seeing that Ji Fuyou had made up his mind, Yuan Yi could no longer persuade him.

At this moment, Ji Fuyou was not wasting any time either.

To prevent the power of the void from affecting the central hub of all spirits, he soared into the air and quickly reached a height of a thousand meters.

As the ripples created by the power of the void drew in the mist, his figure vanished from the sight of Genichi and the others.

This swift and fleeting style, along with the effortless and graceful movement in and out of the void, filled Yuan Yi and the high-level beings accompanying him with envy.

"Truly worthy of being called a person of superior civilization, coming and going like the wind, completely at ease."

"One of the authorized users exclaimed in admiration."

"Soaring through the air and traversing space... This kind of power is simply beyond our imagination."

Another person with authority chimed in.

"I just hope he really has the ability to help us solve the crisis we are facing. Otherwise, given the rising suicide and self-destruction rates... I'm afraid that within a hundred years, our Wanling race will be at risk of extinction."

Yuan Yi sighed.

Those with the highest authority were well aware that the severity of the problems in the Realm of All Spirits far exceeded the understanding of outsiders.

If not resolved...

The idea of ​​collective destruction a century from now is not just empty talk.

……

Fulong Mountain.

Ji Fuyou, who had traveled back, reached out and sensed the mist rising from the ripples in the void.

"At first glance, the mist seems to be a phenomenon where the power of the void is projected onto the real world, but for some reason, something feels off... The mist and the authority of rules do not seem to coexist or cooperate..."

Instead, it feels like a constraint.

But he himself couldn't explain why he had this idea.

"If you can't figure it out, don't think about it for now. As your strength increases, some problems that you couldn't understand or figure out before will naturally be solved."

Ji Fuyou pondered this in his heart and began to stroll around this leisure area.

Instead of going to Xuan Yue Island, he went to the top of Fu Long Mountain.

This place was previously sealed off to house the spirits of the deceased, and many villas and houses were built there.

Even after the spirit of the acquired one was taken away, it was not opened to the public, but was left behind by Ji Fuyou to serve as a place for cultivation.

It has reached the tenth rank...

Even though he was only a hair's breadth away from the eleventh level, when he fully unleashed his power, it would not only put immense pressure on the surrounding life forms, but his control over the power of heaven and earth would also easily trigger changes in celestial phenomena.

Under these circumstances, the training ground at Yunjingyuan naturally seemed cramped.

Soon, a figure flew down from the foot of the mountain and arrived at the summit in no time.

It was Lu Xingchen, who had previously acted as Ji Fuyou's driver and was now essentially the bodyguard for Ji Qingqing, Yu Xiaoyu, Ji Xinghe, and others.

"boss."

Lu Xing said in a deep voice.

"Ah."

Ji Fuyou nodded at him.

"I plan to cultivate for a while and keep watch outside to prevent anyone from disturbing me."

"Understood." Lu Xingchen nodded solemnly.

Fang Qiyun and the others were all in Vermilion Bird City, and the Three Absolutes Daoist, Zhao Yuan, and others had also been sent out. Under these circumstances, this task could only be entrusted to Lu Xingchen, who had already reached the sixth level.

Ji Fuyou entered the cultivation room and quickly projected his divine sense back into the Myriad Spirits Realm.

Having gained supreme authority, the Myriad Spirits Realm no longer resisted the encroachment of the Void God Realm, which now completely covered the Myriad Spirits Realm.

As long as he closes the Realm of All Spirits, 300 billion living beings will be annihilated because they have lost their vessel.

However, Ji Fuyou would never do something so pointless.

After covering the Myriad Spirits Realm with the Void God Realm, he used the power of the Myriad Spirits Realm's authority to infiltrate and probe the mental state of all beings in the Myriad Spirits Realm with the power of the Void God Realm.

Or rather, to collect their dissipated spiritual energy.

However, this time the collection was primarily based on the authority of the Myriad Spirits Realm, with the power of the Void God Realm as a secondary factor.

after all……

Most beings in the Realm of All Spirits are too weak.

They were so weak that the Void God Realm couldn't accurately perceive or distinguish their existence, let alone communicate with them at the level of consciousness or information.

Using the authority of the Myriad Spirits Realm, countless negative emotions containing the unknown, confusion, emptiness, and nothingness were collected one by one, then bound and captured by the power of the Void God Realm, and thrown into a special area located between the Void God Realm and the Myriad Spirits Realm.

As this area gradually took shape, Ji Fuyou projected a divine thought into it.

The moment his divine senses were projected onto this area, an unprecedented sense of frustration, boredom, tedium, and bewilderment welled up in his heart.

That's a kind of...

Ji Fuyou could not describe this feeling.

Being alive is alright.

It's okay to die.

Indifferent, uncaring, unconcerned, and unaware.

Everything seemed to lose its meaning at this moment.

Even lives!

Life has lost its true meaning.

especially……

As time went on, this feeling grew stronger.

Over time, even feelings of frustration, boredom, tedium, and confusion disappeared.

Ji Fuyou could clearly feel that his soul was being swallowed up by a huge emptiness.

this moment……

Even he had an impulse to self-destruct.

because……

To be alive is a meaning in itself.

And emptiness buries even this meaning.

……

At one point, Ji Fuyou suddenly awoke from this state of near-being swallowed by emptiness.

His pupils were wide open, but for quite a while they were completely unfocused.

My mind felt an unprecedented weariness.

Even though he seemed to do nothing, think nothing, and simply let himself sink into emptiness.

He suddenly stood up and walked out of the cultivation room.

A gentle breeze, warm sunlight, blue sky, white clouds, birdsong, fragrant flowers, lush trees, and everything bursting with life.

At this moment, the world seemed to have been filtered through a lens.

He was deeply moved, feeling that the whole world was so clear and so beautiful.

Even a ray of sunshine, a gentle breeze, or a wisp of fragrance feels so real and so genuine.

This feeling……

It's not that the world has actually changed.

It's because he put his heart into it.

Because he put his heart into it, his life force utilization rate increased, and his control over the power of heaven and earth improved.

His guess was right.

This method can effectively temper the mind.

However, at this moment, he did not want to think about anything related to cultivation.

He strode out of the room.

Outside, Lu Xingchen immediately stood up: "Boss."

"Ok?"

Ji Fuyou noticed that Lu Xingchen's clothes seemed to have been worn for some time, and a thought struck him...

"I went into seclusion for six days?"

"Yes."

Lu Xingchen didn't look at his watch, and said precisely, "147 hours and 33 minutes."

"It's been... this long!?"

Ji Fuyou was somewhat unbelievable.

However, he doesn't want to think about such things now.

"take a break."

He said something to Lu Xingchen, then took to the air and headed straight for Yunjing Garden.

At this moment, all he wanted was to see Ji Qingqing and Ji Xinghe...

But in a moment...

He realized that, given his status, if he were to rush back like this, Ji Qingqing would inevitably realize something.

Finally, he stopped.

He let his body slowly fall, landing beside the road leading into the city.

then……

He didn't tell anyone his whereabouts, nor did he ride the wind. Instead, he walked along the road like an ordinary person, heading towards the most bustling and lively part of the city.

He wanted to see and immerse himself in the everyday life of this city.
