Ye Yun watched the divine race lying in front of him with interest.
This divine race had the upper body of a human but the body of an ox and horse below the waist.
Ye Yun noticed that most deities, whether from Western or Eastern systems, were hybrids of humans and beasts.
For instance, the most typical representative in the East was Nuwa, and in the West, angels.
"Tell me, why are your divine race guarding this dimensional gate, and why in a human star domain? And tell me everything you know about this star domain!"
Ye Yun ignored the divine race's miserable cries and stood there. His words were like some kind of will, directly entering the divine race's mind.
"My name is Obiso. I was ordered by my lord to monitor if any beings from the Ninth Dimension would enter our Ten Directions Universe."
Under Ye Yun's threat, the divine race began to speak volubly, allowing Ye Yun to gain a deeper understanding of the past of this star domain.
A million years ago, the patriarch of the Yang Clan from the Ninth Dimension led an army of a million into this human star domain of the Ten Directions Universe. The humans of the nine great planets of this star domain rose up in resistance. However, their strength was ultimately too weak. To halt their advance, eight of the nine planets in this star domain self-destructed!
The remaining Blue Star only received aid from other star domains at the brink of annihilation. However, for the humans, what arrived was a conspiracy. These beings from other star domains had intended for the humans to wear down the Yang Clan's forces. They would only intervene when the humans were on the verge of collapse, with the sole purpose of making the battlefield within this star domain!
The immense consequence of this was that the area of Blue Star, the ancestral land of humanity, was reduced by a full 30%. The number of surviving humans was less than one-tenth. The spiritual energy of the entire star domain was depleted through countless battles, and it slowly became desolate. A place that was originally abundant in resources and rich in spiritual energy became what it is now.
Powerful human aristocratic families could no longer endure such an environment and reached various agreements with other star domains, taking their clans to live in other star domains.
As for those of lower cultivation, they were left behind.
"In that battle, the allied forces from the twelve great star domains numbered over three million, and our divine race alone dispatched a full five hundred thousand soldiers. Yet, less than a tenth returned."
"That epic and magnificent battle was later recorded in the chronicles of our divine race's Divine Academy."
Although Obiso did not participate in that war, he still felt a lingering fear when speaking of that history.
Obiso, being appointed as an inspector here, was naturally not weak. In a short while, his severed legs had recovered six to seven tenths.
"Heh, as an inspector, you must be monitoring more than just the Fang Gate, right!"
Ye Yun sneered. The Fang Gate and the dimensional gate were at opposite ends of Blue Star. It could be said that if beings from the Ninth Dimension wanted to enter the divine race's star domain, Blue Star would inevitably be exposed to their gaze!
From Ye Yun's perspective, Blue Star was more like a bait set by the divine race.
"This... Your Excellency has discovered it. This was a suggestion proposed by your human Celestial Family back then. This way, it would give the other star domains some buffer time."
Buffer time? That's just one aspect, isn't it?
Ye Yun sneered!
If not for experiencing the disaster of an alien general in his previous life, Ye Yun would have almost believed him.
In his previous life, Ye Yun clearly remembered that the aliens who invaded Blue Star were plant-based creatures from the demon race of his Tenth Dimension!
Their vines, like weapons, pierced into his body, devouring his internal energy and blood, and then converting them into their own strength!
Now, it seemed less like an alien invasion and more like internal strife within the Tenth Dimension.
They were all like creatures being raised in pens, waiting to be slaughtered once they reached a certain level of growth.
In his previous life, three years after the Heavenly Dao opened, almost everyone on Blue Star had manifested some form of strength. This could easily be detected by those with ill intentions toward Blue Star.
The Buddhist, Divine, Immortal, and Demonic races, the great clans of the Tenth Dimension, all had their pawns on Blue Star. They just hadn't realized it yet.
"Alright, I've learned what I need to know. Now it's time to call the King of Hell." Under Obiso's confused gaze, Ye Yun killed him with a single finger.
Beings of alien races, kill them all! This was the best way to protect Blue Star at this stage.
"I didn't expect the spiritual energy depletion to have started a million years ago. What was the spiritual energy like in the human star domain a million years ago?"
From the appearance of the star domain map, everything had shattered Ye Yun's previous assumptions. His earlier guesses were too narrow compared to his current understanding.
It seemed he needed to accelerate his cultivation, especially the collection of Bigu Pills, nutrient solutions, and energy crystals.
Ye Yun returned to his residence on Miliary Island. The sense of urgency drove him back into the game. In Cloud One City, he unleashed a wide-area skill, 'Fire Refines the World,' instantly eliminating all ground-dwelling creatures within a million-mile radius.

Listening to the system notifications, Ye Yun felt somewhat dejected. The cooldown for 'Gold Touch' made him feel like he would never clear it before his death. With the nature of this talent skill, the next cooldown would be decades long! How was he supposed to play?
Ye Yun felt immense pressure.
