Facing the Apocalypse with My Other Selves-Chapter 314 - 193: Minor Heavens

Moreover, this number will expand rapidly.

The third Ming Dynasty parallel universe is about to appear.

This period isn’t the next era after Emperor Yongle, but the previous one, just after Zhu Yuanzhang passed away.

Overall, the shifts remain within these decades.

However, the extraordinary power of this parallel universe comes as a certain surprise to people.

Because it’s no longer trending toward Martial Arts, but leaning more toward Magic!

Yes, in the air, there exists an extraordinary power called Magic Power.

Although the Eastern culture still has its own understanding and usage methods, it’s obvious that the culture which adapts better and is more effective with this extraordinary power is the Western one.

"Magic Power, Martial Arts Primordial Energy—these are two extraordinary paths with vastly different characteristics, yet they’ve both appeared in parallel universes." Shen Yu gained a much deeper understanding of the pan-parallel universe world he inhabits.

And the changes brought on by exploration during this period naturally attracted the attention of the other Shen Yus.

During a routine meeting, the various Shen Yus predictably brought up the world where the original Shen Yu resides.

"Obviously, among all the All Heavens Worlds we’ve excavated so far, the world where the original Shen Yu is located is the most unusual." Intersellar world Shen Yu spoke first, pointing out a fact everyone had realized. "Primordial Energy, Magic Power—even if a Cultivation World appears next, it wouldn’t be surprising."

"That’s right, it’s almost like a ’miniature All Heavens.’" Wizard Shen Yu agreed, even using the term ’miniature All Heavens’ as a description.

It truly was astonishing.

After learning that a Magic World had appeared, Wizard Shen Yu even personally paid it a visit.

He brought some mages along for a more detailed investigation.

They were shocked to discover that although the magic power in this world differed greatly from that in their own, especially in the finer rules, the overall style and fundamental nature were basically the same.

There were even Divine Spirits!

A kind of existence formed by gathering magic power through the faith of many people.

Although their power was incomparably inferior to the divine spirits of the Magic World—and they couldn’t even achieve immortality—they were truly the blueprint for "gods."

It’s hard to imagine that, together with the other two Martial Arts parallel universes, these are actually parallel versions of the same world!

"If you ask me, I don’t think it’s that strange." Martial Artist Shen Yu suddenly interjected, "Don’t forget those various monsters; the extraordinary powers in them already include different types of extraordinary rules. If they’re not, as we initially guessed, from the All Heavens, but come from the original Shen Yu’s world itself, then a variety of extraordinary powers in one world isn’t unimaginable."

"Exactly!" Shen Yu’s eyes lit up.

Martial Artist Shen Yu had gotten straight to the point.

Previously, when they speculated about the origin of the meteorite monsters, they always leaned toward All Heavens.

After all, the extraordinary power systems found in those monsters were indeed diverse.

All sorts of forms could be found.

And if they really do come from the All Heavens, that means, apart from themselves, there may be other beings and factions with the ability to cross between worlds.

They naturally understood the implications of that.

All Heavens itself means anything is possible!

But if Martial Artist Shen Yu’s guess is correct, then at the moment, it seems the crisis and the existence behind the meteorites might simply originate from this world, and that probability has dramatically increased.

That’s good news.

"No matter how miraculous this world is, all we need to do is keep increasing our power and dig deeper into the investigation." Cultivator Shen Yu simplified things and then tossed out a piece of good news, "I’ve taken stock of the situation and found that in the Cultivation World, there are quite a few technique for planting, especially those from the Great Yan Immortal Dynasty and the Ji Family. These two have done a lot of research in this field; if combined with technology, I believe it would help us a lot."

"Definitely!" Shen Yu immediately felt extraordinary delight.

Now, Human Civilization has already developed three Ming Dynasty parallel universes, each of them containing a certain amount of active extraordinary power, as well as extraordinary resources possessing the special attributes of those powers.

Just mining these resources has already yielded plenty.

But that’s obviously far from enough.

As a mighty civilization, how can one apply world-level extraordinary power so inefficiently?

Cultivation and breeding are essential.

Yet Human Civilization lacks relevant experience and technology, and there’s not much to say about the three worlds themselves; if they had the knowledge to cultivate Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures en masse, they wouldn’t still be in Ming Dynasty era development. 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

Cultivator Shen Yu’s support really made a huge difference.

Even if cultivation techniques from the Cultivation World don’t perfectly suit these worlds, having them as a foundation will greatly reduce resource exhaustion when using Gray Mist for further innovations later.

"There’s one more thing." Seeing that the original Shen Yu’s problem was getting sorted, Cultivator Shen Yu suddenly spoke up again, "I’ve hit a bit of an emergency here. The Immortal Sect Headquarters in the Cosmos seems to be in trouble. The Ji Family suspects the message they sent into the stars got intercepted by a Demon Cultivator."

"Demon Cultivator in the starry Cosmos?" Shen Yu paused, unable to help but ask, looking solemn.

The other Shen Yus felt much the same.

This wasn’t a minor matter.

For Cultivator Shen Yu, the situation in the Yellow One World was now basically stable.

The remaining Demon Cultivators were just struggling to survive.

And with the universal expansion of the cultivation network, cultivation power throughout the entire world, even among mortals, was rapidly being consolidated and unified—a thriving scene.

Still, even with a highly efficient, unified civilization, it counts for little in the greater Cosmos.

At the extraordinary level, total flattening awaits.

Just one True Immortal would become a disaster they couldn’t resist.

"Isn’t this pretty much what happened to me?" Wizard Shen Yu sighed, "Even if your whole civilization is unparalleled in system and potential, facing a crushing defeat on the extraordinary level, the entire civilization is powerless."

This transcendence of extraordinary power over civilization was truly dispiriting for all of them.

After all, faced with individual might, they were obviously more focused on the future of civilization.

The strength of Gray Mist Space also rests on civilization.

"It’s still not quite the same as your experience." Intersellar world Shen Yu looked at Cultivator Shen Yu and furrowed his brow. "Only the Ji Family got intercepted? Have the other factions managed to forward their messages?"

"As far as I know, only the Supreme Sword Sect managed to get a reply. The Supreme Sword Sect in the Cosmos is taking it very seriously and is already sending out a True Immortal," Cultivator Shen Yu even joked, "Otherwise, I’d already have called everyone together the moment it happened, asking what to do."

Upon hearing this, everyone relaxed a little.

Indeed, with a ’savior’ on the way—even if the Demon Cultivator is headed over—the situation is much better.

"We need to play it safe," Shen Yu said after some thought. "If the Demon Cultivator comes first, at least we need a bit of defense. I think we can use some Gray Mist to see if there are any good ways to block them."

Recently, Cultivator Shen Yu spent a lot of Gray Mist creating the Celestial Dao Jade Butterfly and even borrowed plenty from the Association to accelerate its spread.

But with the Demon Cultivator finally crushed, the amount of Gray Mist he’s obtained is equally astonishing.

After all, in the Cultivation World, the average power per person is extraordinary.

It’s way more than in other extraordinary worlds—it’s not just two or three times the Gray Mist per person.

It’s over ten times!

This is yet another benefit brought by the Extraordinary World.
