404: Captured, expanded

" Establishing a Universe?! "

Ye Kai was somewhat surprised.

Because you were the last to be brought to the end of the Universe, those Heavenly Slaves appeared the moment he asked this question.

The familiar words appeared again, but this time you did not stop them; instead, you wanted to try a new approach.

You actively requested that those Heavenly Slaves restrain you first, but while being restrained, you maintained contact with Ye Kai the entire time.

If this connection were to be severed, Ye Kai would immediately use Retrogression.

You began to accept the restraint.

Your vision became increasingly blurred.

Soon, you felt your Divine Soul disconnect from your Physical Body.

Although you were not dead at this moment, you were no different from being dead.

You were now like duckweed without roots, merely lodging within the Physical Body.

However, since there was no danger, you still maintained contact with Ye Kai.

Furthermore, you sent a message telling him that after being restrained by these Heavenly Slaves, your Divine Soul could still remain clear, so there was no need to trigger Retrogression immediately; he could wait a little while.

Upon hearing this, Ye Kai also accepted the restraint.

As time passed bit by bit, all the Cultivators present were restrained.

And that Envoy also appeared shortly after.

" What kind of Cultivators were brought in this time? "

" Reporting to Lord Envoy, we have brought in a total of fifty-two Cultivators. "

" However, forty-three of them relied on the System to raise their Realm; only a mere nine relied on themselves! "

" Oh? "

" Hehehehe... These fellows are really regressing as they live. I remember that in the last batch of those brought in, there were clearly nearly twenty who relied on themselves to improve. "

You silently observed their conversation.

At the same time, you also noticed these nine people who had been separated.

These people were all familiar figures, and you and Ye Kai were also among them.

This phenomenon proved beyond a doubt that the System you and he possessed was not created by the " Heavenly Dao ".

" Lord Envoy, in that case, where should we take this batch of Cultivators? "

" Hmm... "

" Just take them to Point No. 3 for now. "

" The quality of these Cultivators is too low; even if taken to other locations, I fear they won't be of much use. "

After speaking, the Envoy disappeared.

And the group of Heavenly Slaves took you away from this place.

You constantly observed everything around you.

This was a route you had never been on before.

However, judging from their conversation, you estimated that this so-called Point No. 3 should be a place similar to that mountain peak.

Several hours later.

Led by the group of Heavenly Slaves, you arrived in a canyon.

Several Heavenly Slaves were fiddling with a Formation inside.

And the structure of these Formations was exactly the same as the batch you had looted previously.

" As expected. "

You nodded thoughtfully.

At the same time, Ye Kai's words reached your ears.

" Fellow Daoist Su, looking at this situation, they are likely going to throw us into these Formations. "

" Should I use Retrogression now? Or... wait for them to teleport us over? "

" Wait and see for now; when I traveled through previously, there was no danger at the end of the Universe. "

Hearing this, Ye Kai also decided not to use Retrogression for the time being.

Just like that, you quietly waited for the Heavenly Slaves to finish setting up the Formation.

Several days later.

" Everyone, the passage has been built. "

" You can throw all these guys in now. "

As soon as the words fell, you felt a moment of dizziness before your eyes, and when you regained your vision, you found that you had already appeared at the end of the Universe.

However...

Your position at this moment was completely different from before.

Your current location was within those walls filled with gullies.

And the others were the same.

All of you were embedded here.

Although your Divine Souls were still present, you could not move even a single bit!

" Damn it... "

" What exactly does this so-called Heavenly Dao want to do? "

" Could it be that it wants to create a Universe using this method? "

You muttered to yourself in your heart, then proceeded to size up the other Cultivators around you.

You constantly sent messages to them, hoping to get some useful information from them.

However, their answers to you were that everything was normal; other than binding them here, those Heavenly Slaves had done nothing else.

This made you feel puzzled in your heart.

However, after deliberating for a long time, you ultimately decided to wait here calmly to see what would happen in the time to come.

Time passed bit by bit, and soon it reached the 350,000th year.

" Bang! "

With an explosion, one of the Cultivators among you who had achieved Ascension using the System was instantly annihilated into dust.

You hurriedly sent him a message, but you could no longer get a response.

You immediately realized that this person was dead!

And it was a complete annihilation of body and soul!

" Fellow Daoist Su, shall we perform Retrogression? "

" Why do I have an ominous premonition in the dark? "

" No rush, wait a bit longer. "

" This Cultivator was the weakest existence among us. "

" He not only relied entirely on external forces to improve, but his aura was also weak to the extreme. "

" Therefore, based on this situation, it should be that those Cultivators who relied on external forces to improve will die first; it will take a long time before it is our turn. "

Hearing this, Ye Kai continued to wait with you.

50,000 years later.

At this time, all the Cultivators who practiced using the " Heavenly Dao " System had died.

Even several of you who relied on your own efforts to improve had died one after another.

You were still observing the situation of the wall behind you.

As many Cultivators kept dying, it also began to move slowly towards the back.

However, even after so many years had passed, this range was still not large.

You estimated that even if all you Cultivators died, it wouldn't be able to expand much.

" Strange. "

" This efficiency is too slow. "

" If calculated this way, those Heavenly Slaves would need to catch at least several hundred Cultivators at once. "

You muttered to yourself.

But just at this moment, your vision suddenly became blurred.

When you were able to see clearly around you again, you had already arrived in the Human Domain.

You knew that Ye Kai had used Retrogression.
