"How could I have imagined confronting the Myriad Worlds Tower? I just wanted to understand the landscape, gather intelligence, and then make decisions!"
Fang Ming, being a very pragmatic person, had no intention of confronting a colossal entity like the Myriad Worlds Tower.
But not confronting them didn't mean he didn't need to understand the current grand era of the Void Sea. Without understanding, how could he navigate the Void Sea? How could he make decisions?
The prerequisite for making decisions was, at the very least, to have intelligence, wasn't it?
Intelligence was extremely important!
Besides, if he ever encountered people from the Myriad Worlds Tower in the future, he would have to consider whether to join the Myriad Worlds Tower or the ranks of those who resisted it...
Without understanding the strengths of both sides, without understanding the background of the grand era, how could he choose?
These were all things he needed to consider in advance...
They were also closely related to whether Fang Ming would stay in this Primordial World or retreat to the shallow sea regions as the system suggested!
Fang Ming mused, "If the Myriad Worlds Tower Master were to control 100% of the Great Dao Origin, all living beings would have to revere his eighteen-star cultivation system as the supreme truth."
"But now, with only 50%, it means that his eighteen-star cultivation system can only encompass the vast majority of worlds and cultivators..."
"Some cultivators can choose not to adhere to his system, becoming loopholes in his system..."
"Those experts who besieged the Myriad Worlds Tower must be loopholes in his system. It's only by not adhering to his system that they can take action against him."
Fang Ming, from beginning to end, never forgot that the Myriad Worlds Tower Master's eighteen-star system was only followed by the majority of worlds in the Void Sea. Worlds that were extremely deep in the sea might not necessarily follow his system.
The fact that the myriad worlds dared to besiege the Supreme Primordial World and the Myriad Worlds Tower already made them loopholes in the system. Otherwise, how could there be any hope of resisting successfully?
Just like the young girl in front of Fang Ming...
Qiyue Fumeng, a cultivator of the Narrative Layer.
An Author-level cultivator.
Fang Ming was certain that the Myriad Worlds Tower Master's eighteen-star system would not include the Narrative Layer or omniscient and omnipotent positions.
Such miraculous abilities, which defied logic, would not be allowed to exist by the Myriad Worlds Tower Master!
Qiyue Fumeng was a loophole!
However, compared to those who besieged the Myriad Worlds Tower, Fang Ming estimated that Fumeng belonged to the category of a minor loophole. The Myriad Worlds Tower Master was busy dealing with major loopholes among the experts of the myriad worlds and likely had no time to bother with minor loopholes like Fumeng.
Even, in the eyes of the Myriad Worlds Tower Master, there might be a possibility of recruiting minor loopholes like Fumeng to the Myriad Worlds Tower's side...
This was akin to the principle of the imperial court suppressing rebels... The court would suppress rebel leaders who raised armies with tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of soldiers.
They would suppress warlords and regional powers.
Fumeng was like a rebel in a county town, or even a village, who claimed to want to rebel, with only ten members, capable of forming a ten-person army.
In an era of war and contention, who would care about such minor figures?
"Even if Fumeng can instantly kill sixteen-star and seventeen-star cultivators, in the eyes of the Myriad Worlds Tower Master, she is probably just such a minor figure..."
"Fumeng is a loophole outside the Myriad Worlds Tower's eighteen-star system, but there are too many such loopholes, and there are many major loopholes among the experts of the myriad worlds. Therefore, the Myriad Worlds Tower Master doesn't pay much attention to her..."
Fang Ming mused.
Fumeng's personality actually had many weaknesses.
After grasping her personality, Fang Ming managed to extract a lot of information from her.
Although Fumeng was only at the thirteen-star level in the Myriad Worlds Tower's eighteen-star evaluation system, and at the very low-level fifth-layer box,
She was a loophole, existing outside the eighteen-star system, capable of casually eliminating sixteen-star and seventeen-star level experts.
— Although this was in her full-power state...
"Fourteen-star level: Infinite Box!"
Fumeng continued.
"The Myriad Worlds Tower Master still uses exponential functions to increase combat power."
"Therefore, only those who possess infinite energy, the Infinite Box level experts, can be considered fourteen-star level."
"This level is not attainable by normal cultivators."
"If the Saint Ruins Immortal Emperor does not walk the path to omniscience and omnipotence, but merely increases conventional realms and his own energy, then..."
"Even if he were to increase his realm by hundreds of billions, he would never reach the fourteen-star level!"
Qiyue Fumeng continued, "Host, this is why I told you that the Dao has no end and you don't need to pursue it to its conclusion!"
"It's precisely because—fourteen-star level experts, if they wish, can divide the cultivators within a world into hundreds of billions of realms, making it impossible for them to ever reach the end."
Qiyue Fumeng sighed, "The Dao has no end, which was originally a cautionary saying for seekers of the Dao, urging them not to relax and enjoy themselves, but to always maintain a seeking heart. However, fourteen-star experts can turn this saying into reality, truly trapping countless cultivators on a path that they can never reach the end of, never reach the highest realm..."
"A seeker of the Dao, after ascending through tens of millions of billions of worlds and increasing their realm tens of millions of billions of times, still has countless worlds to ascend and countless realms to upgrade before them..."
Qiyue Fumeng told Fang Ming a story.
This was from many years ago, when Fumeng encountered a world and a fourteen-star level expert in the Void Sea.
That world was called the Innate Martial Realm, and its master was a fourteen-star martial artist named Lin Xingyuan.
At that time, it was still the era of the Supreme Primordial World, and Fumeng's Narrative Layer ability was suppressed to non-existence. She only possessed the strength of a simple fifth-layer box, thirteen-star level.
Although there was only a one-star difference between thirteen-star and fourteen-star, it was a truly infinite gap...
However, the System Clan still had considerable influence. Except for the Supreme Primordial World, which completely disregarded the System Clan and even strongly opposed its existence, leading to attempts to exterminate the System Clan.
Some other supreme experts were still friendly towards the System Clan, especially towards unowned systems—owned systems were another matter.
Lin Xingyuan hospitably entertained Fumeng and invited her to view the Innate Martial Realm he had created.
The Innate Martial Realm was not a world from any fictional work, but a world created by the fourteen-star expert Lin Xingyuan in the deepest regions of the Void Sea.
Fumeng witnessed an unimaginable scene back then, which was also the first time Fumeng had truly witnessed the strength of an Infinite Box level expert.
Before meeting Lin Xingyuan, Fumeng had never truly seen the terror of an Infinite Box level expert.
