790: Walking in the Spirit Realm

After sending the invitation, Little Fatty Li Xiang faced Yang Dian's puzzled gaze and scratched the back of his head in a silly manner:

"Um, my social media screen name has always been [Villager]. When I discovered that I could choose a codename after entering the Spirit Realm, I subconsciously chose 'Villager' as my codename."

Yang Dian smiled, "Villager is a pretty good codename."

After complimenting Little Fatty, Yang Dian ignored Lao Bai, who had fallen into a daze after hearing specific information about the Spirit Realm, and instead looked at the lines of text floating before him.

[Villager invites you to join the Spirit Domain. Do you accept?] [Yes / No.]

[Note: The Spirit Domain is a Spirit Realm world created by the Human Race's Supreme - His Excellency Taiyi, by severing a portion of His own Dao Origin. It is omnipresent and ubiquitous. Its purpose is to save worlds worthy of being saved and to cultivate members of the Human Race worthy of being cultivated.]

Yang Dian pondered for a moment, then finally used his consciousness to touch the [Yes] character.

The next moment, the text floating before him dissolved and transformed into a new line of text.

[You have joined the Spirit Domain. You have become a Probationary Spirit Domain Walker.]

[You may choose a codename for yourself.]

[Every hundred years, you must complete a mission to maintain your status as a Spirit Domain Walker.]

[Upon completing a mission, you will receive corresponding rewards.]

[You can complete additional missions to earn contribution points and elevate your status within the Spirit Domain.]

[After elevating your status, you will gain more permissions within the Spirit Domain.]

[After completing your first mission, you will become an Official Spirit Domain Walker and gain permission to enter the Spirit Domain.]

[All combat is prohibited within the Spirit Domain. It is forbidden to use any method to pry into the identities of other Spirit Domain Walkers. All false speech is prohibited...]

[Based on your strength, you may choose one of the following 10,000 missions to complete.]

[Mission 1: Save the declining Heavenly Spirit Realm. Mission Description: 3 years ago, the energy concentration of the Heavenly Spirit Realm suddenly began to drop significantly. Please find the cause of this significant drop in energy concentration and resolve it. Mission Success Reward: Official Spirit Domain Walker status, 30% Origin of the Heavenly Spirit Realm, 30,000 Spirit Domain contribution points. Mission Failure Penalty: Loss of Probationary Spirit Domain Walker status.]

[Mission 2: Protect the Great Forest Realm, resolve the Starry Sky Swarm invading the Great Forest Realm...]

[Mission 3: The star of Mingling Planet is becoming unstable; relocate Mingling Planet to a safe star system...]

[Mission 4: The star core of Huorong Planet seems about to birth a will and become a Star Spirit. Assist in relocating the Huorong Human Race, protect the Awakening of the Huorong Planet's will, and befriend the Star God Race...]

[Mission 5: The Khorne Civilization has once again begun actively invading other Human Race civilizations. This is the 3,326th Human Race civilization they have invaded within a hundred years. Please proceed to the Khorne Civilization to mediate; if they do not accept mediation, destroy them. The Human Race does not need those who cause internal strife...] ...

Looking at the dense list of missions on the panel, as well as the various mission rewards, Yang Dian slowly exhaled.

'I'm rich~' 'It's a pity that if the Spirit Domain is divided by alignment, it counts as the Lawful Good alignment; it doesn't allow the Human Race to wage large-scale civil wars.' 'Otherwise, one could completely obtain coordinates for other planets through the Spirit Domain, complete missions to get the Spirit Domain rewards, and then send people to capture the mission targets, turning them into Huaxia's Blessed Land.'

The thought flashed through his mind and vanished; Yang Dian immediately chose the first mission.

Nothing else, comparing the details of the various missions, Yang Dian felt the first mission was the most stable.

Missions with more benefits can be discussed later; of course, the task now is to first obtain the status of a Spirit Domain Walker.

[Mission selection complete.] [You need to arrive at the Heavenly Spirit Realm before the countdown ends.] [Countdown: 167 hours 59 minutes 59 seconds...]

Glancing at the countdown, Yang Dian looked back at Lao Bai, whose look of bewilderment had vanished, replaced by a state of deep thought.

Lao Bai raised a finger to Yang Dian, making a gesture for silence: "Don't speak, listen to me first."

"Based on my guess, the Spirit Domain is definitely a super-tier civilization, but it should be a friendly type of civilization, right?" "Secondly, the Spirit Domain possesses some means to prevent information about it from spreading, only letting people know that a place called the Spirit Domain exists."

"Third, Li Xiang." He reached out and patted Little Fatty's head: "Li Xiang has joined the Spirit Domain, or possesses a method to enter the Spirit Domain."

"Fourth." He looked at Yang Dian again: "After you synchronized with the Spirit Domain, you obtained information about the Spirit Domain. Spirit Domain information is not open to outsiders, so you have also joined the Spirit Domain?"

"Fifth, after joining the Spirit Domain, one should be able to obtain quite a few benefits; otherwise, you would have already discussed with me how to 'break away' from the Spirit Domain or transfer other people." "That's why you said that the Spirit Domain is, for the time being, a good thing for us."

"But one must pay for what one wants to obtain; in the future, such a good thing might not necessarily turn into a bad thing."

Yang Dian curled the corners of his mouth and nodded at Lao Bai. Lao Bai was still smart; he could guess so much based on just a little information.

However, there was one point where he didn't know if Lao Bai was wrong or if the Spirit Domain was hiding something. That was whether the Spirit Domain was purely benevolent.

Taiyi severing His own Origin to create the Spirit Domain—was it really just to cultivate the younger generation of the Human Race, without any desire for repayment? Or perhaps, if someone could borrow the power of the Spirit Domain to step into the Eighth Order and become a new pillar of support for the Human Race, that would be the best repayment for Him.

But Yang Dian could not say any of this. If he said it, Lao Bai would forget. Even hinting at it was not allowed. He could only let Lao Bai guess for himself.

The Spirit Domain would not restrict smart people from obtaining any information related to it through any means. The prerequisite was that the smart person had to endure the torment of having their thoughts unverified while they lingered in their mind. But was this torment not also a form of test?

Recalling the second method to join the Spirit Domain besides spiritual synchronization, Yang Dian smiled and changed the subject: "Regarding matters of the Spirit Domain, I have told you what I can say; what cannot be said, cannot be said. Whether you are right or wrong, you can only guess for yourself."

"For now, let's just send the people back to Earth, or to other Alien Planet bases."

Speaking of this, Yang Dian first summoned the Dimension Butterfly, having it open three giant portals. Two were above the Mars base city, to facilitate the transfer of Mars immigrants. The remaining one was deep within Mars, to facilitate Lao Bai moving his brain.

"You handle the matters here on Mars first." "I'm returning to Earth to activate the Spirit Gathering Array first." "After activating the Spirit Gathering Array, I still need to go perform the Spirit Domain mission, and then go see what a super-tier civilization is actually like."

As soon as these words were spoken, Lao Bai's eyes became dazed again. Little Fatty Li Xiang said somewhat timidly: "Um... Commander. Non-Spirit Domain Walkers cannot receive information about the Spirit Domain."

Yang Dian smiled slightly, saying nothing. A few seconds later, Lao Bai recovered his clarity, and then immediately frowned: "I experienced 6 seconds of 'Chaos' state. You told me something about the Spirit Domain? What did you say?"

"You told me to handle the matters here on Mars..." "You are returning to Earth to activate the Spirit Gathering Array..." "Matters?" "Matters regarding the Spirit Domain?" "You are going to do something regarding the Spirit Domain?" "You have things to do, I have things to do, this is a description of the problems we currently need to handle..."

"Heh." "I understand the operation mode of the Spirit Domain now." Little Fatty immediately showed an expression of admiration. "Wow~" "As expected of Dr. Bai." "So smart, so amazing!"

As his voice fell, Lao Bai's eyes became dazed again...
