Once Wanyan Xiu finished answering, he used his eyes to signal the other members of the Progenitor generation behind him to go down and bring the current emperor of the royal family of the Spiritual Ruins.
In truth, forget about how many warriors the True Spirit Ruins World had, even Wanyan Xiu himself did not know how many people were left in the True Spirit Ruins World.
However, the True Spirit Ruins World had quite a number of Ancient Worlds attached to it, and each of them had many races and living beings.
There was no lack of powerful warriors among them. Even though they were definitely not in Dao Realm, they were definitely more than enough to be warriors who fought in various places.
"Sir, if you need me, I will give the order and have my people gather all the warriors," Wanyan Xiu said respectfully.
Gu Changge nodded. He had indeed planned to do so. After all, the True Dao Chang World was just a new True World. It was impossible for it to compare to an ancient True World like the True Spirit Ruins World.
At the very most, there were only three ancient cultivators in Dao Realm. There were very few Immortal Emperors among them.
They would need to be at least Immortal Kings to fight in the Vast Expanse. In this sort of war, those below Immortal King Realm could only be cannon fodder and would be reduced to ashes in the blink of an eye.
Besides the True Spirit Ruins World, there was another civilization that had set their sights on the True Dao Chang World. When Gu Changge left the True Dao Chang World, he did not pay any attention to them.
By the looks of it, since they were wary of attacking from afar, he could only choose to attack their neighboring civilizations. When the time came, he would be able to draw a rough blueprint and use the True Worlds as a springboard to invade and occupy the Vast Expanse in one go.
If that was the case, the Heaven Crusading Alliance that he had established would come into play.
Otherwise, before the final showdown arrived, the power in Gu Changge's hands would not be enough to cause the Origin World to feel threatened.
When Wanyan Xiu saw that Gu Changge had such a plan, he understood and started recruiting warriors. By the looks of it, he was planning to launch a large-scale campaign against the other True Worlds.
"All of you, leave."
When he thought about it, Gu Changge waved his hand and had Wanyan Xiu and the others leave.
The ancient warship that was moving through the Vast Expanse changed its route under his orders and headed to the region where the True Dao Chang World was located.
With Gu Changge's current strength, nothing that happened in Dao Chang True World, no living being, and no cultivator's fate could be hidden from him.
However, he did not intend to interfere. The Dao Chang True World was already developing in the direction of his destiny.
If he interfered at this time, then the many tricks that Gu Changge had laid down before would be useless.
The people with great kismet artificially created carried the Dao Chang True World's kismet. Before the arrival of the great disaster, it was the best time for them to transform and train themselves.
The Dao of Heaven was to take away what was in excess to make up for what was in deficiency. The Dao of Man was to take away what was in deficiency to make up for what was in excess. Gu Changge's will was the will of the Dao Chang True World's Heavenly Dao. If all lives were strong, then his will of the Heavenly Dao would naturally be stronger as well. This was a process where both sides complemented each other.
On the other side, the current Spirit Emperor of the Spiritual Mound Royal Family was out on patrol in plain clothes. She was temporarily staying in one of her residences in the mortal world.
The environment of this courtyard was very quiet and secluded. There was a small bridge over flowing water, and it was elegant and peaceful. It would not be disturbed by outsiders.
"Miss … there is news from the palace. The Progenitors want you to meet them. They say that they have something to ask you."
The Spirit Emperor leaned against the soft couch with a slightly languid expression on her face. Occasionally, she would bring out a few precious immortal fruits from the crystal jade plate beside her and put them into her mouth. When she heard the report from the maidservant below her, she immediately raised her eyebrows.
It was rare for her to leave the palace, and it had only been a few days, but the Progenitors already had something to arrange for her. This caused slight displeasure to appear on her face.
The Spirit Emperor did not show much respect or fear towards the Progenitors of the Spiritual Mound Race. She only asked calmly.
"Did they say what it was?"
The maidservant below her asked respectfully. "They didn't say what it was. It's just that the news suddenly came from the palace. The Progenitors still don't know that you left the palace, miss, and they don't know what it is that they have to ask you about."
When the Spirit Emperor heard this, she put down the immortal fruit in her hand and raised her eyebrows slightly. Slight surprise rose in her heart.
"Why would they suddenly look for me for no reason? Could it be that they want to push the blame on me again? Usually, when I look for them for something, all of them refuse to do it. They can't wait to throw all the trivial matters to me. "Her tone was filled with dissatisfaction and deep resentment.
The maidservants did not dare to say anything. Although they were the Spirit Emperor's trusted aides, it was not their place to say anything about the enmity between the Progenitors and the Spirit Emperor.
Be it the Spirit Emperor or the Progenitors, they were all people with extraordinary means. With a thought, they could tell what they were thinking.
"Forget it. What a bummer."
The Spirit Emperor shook her head and got up from the soft couch. Currently, she was still not the true ruler of the Spiritual Mound Race and could only be considered as a puppet. She did not dare to truly go against the Progenitors.
Earlier on, she tried to use her Dao Arts to deduce what the Progenitors wanted, or whether this trip was auspicious or inauspicious. However, the result was hazy and filled with fog and unknown.
This made the Spirit Emperor feel a little uneasy. If it was a small matter, why would it be so unpredictable?
"I'm afraid it's not the Progenitors who want to see me, but that mysterious young man? But why does he want to see me? "
The Spirit Emperor was puzzled and could not help but feel a little uneasy.
After all, from the situation, that mysterious young man was a person that the Progenitors were incomparably wary and fearful of. Even the White Bone Ancestor King who had boarded the ship a while ago had become obedient.
"Oh right, where is that fellow called Chu Lian now?"
At this moment, the Spirit Emperor suddenly thought of something and asked.
She had been in contact with this guy who seemed to be a variable for some time, but she still could not see anything special about him.
However, in order to be absolutely sure, the Spirit Emperor still sent people to secretly observe Chu Lian's whereabouts and actions.
"Miss, after Chu Lian separated from us, he first went to the Wuji Mountain Range and stayed there for half a day, but we did not see him do anything. After that, he went to the Hundred Break Ruins and the Ancient City of Absolute Frost … We also did not see him do anything. It seems that he only stayed there for some time." The maidservant replied, also somewhat puzzled.
"Wuji Mountain Range? Hundred Break Ruins, Ancient City of Absolute Frost? "
"What did he go to those places for?"
The Spirit Emperor frowned. She made a slight calculation with her hand, and a blurry river of all things rose up behind her. Waves surged, and ripples of the Grand Dao arose. Numerous miraculous scenes appeared within the river, and they illuminated the surroundings.
"There is nothing special about those places. The Wuji Mountain Range does indeed have a treasure called the Wuji Bell, but it has not been taken away. In the Hundred Break Ruins, there is the Hundred Forging Method left behind by an expert of the Ghost Axe Clan, but it is also in the same place and has not been taken away …"
"The Ancient City of Absolute Frost, the main city of the Frost Clan, but this clan has already disappeared many years ago, and there are not many clansmen left. I did not expect that there would be a Pearl of Absolute Frost left, but that Pearl of Absolute Frost was not taken away by him."
She became more and more puzzled. She could not deduce Chu Lian's fate, nor could she deduce why he went to those places.
But the Spirit Emperor was sure that Chu Lian was hiding some secret.
"Forget it, continue to pay attention to that guy's actions. If there is any movement, report to me immediately."
"As for that guy's background, investigate it carefully." The Spirit Emperor waved her hand, dismissing the maidservant.
She had to find out Chu Lian's secret. This was the key to Chu Lian becoming a variable.
As for why she did not capture Chu Lian, search his soul, and find out everything?
Because the Spirit Emperor was not sure what the source of Chu Lian's variable was, and whether it would be dangerous if she attacked directly.
The more one knew about variables, the more one would understand how terrifying they were. They were existences that transcended fate, and could even lead to unseen tribulations.
For example, if she attacked Chu Lian forcefully, would it directly cause her Heavenly Human Tribulation to descend earlier? These variables were all uncertain factors.
The Spirit Emperor quickly returned to the palace, changed into her usual phoenix robes, and went to the ancestral hall to greet the group of ancestors with the majesty of an Emperor.
Wanyan Xiu, Ancestor King Bai Gu, and the group of ancestors of the Spiritual Ruins were waiting outside the ancestral hall.
"Greetings, Grand Ancestor and all the ancestors …"
When the Spirit Emperor arrived, she was slightly stunned. She did not expect all the ancestors, including the Grand Ancestor Wanyan Xiu, to be here.
She composed herself and bowed respectfully.
Wanyan Xiu cast her a glance. In truth, he was quite satisfied with this junior. Spirit Phoenix was the most outstanding woman blessed by the heavens in the royal family of Spirit Ruins over the aeons. The entire royal family of Spirit Ruins had poured a lot of resources into her, and she had successfully entered Dao Realm to rule over the True Spirit Ruins World.
However, this trip to the Boundless Expanse required the strength of the entire clan.
Spirit Emperor was a Dao Realm cultivator, so she was brought along as well.
"How many warriors are there on the Spiritual Ruins Battleship now?" Wanyan Xiu did not beat around the bush and went straight to the point.
Before the Spirit Emperor came, she had already guessed many possibilities, but she was still slightly stunned when she heard this question.
Moreover, this was a question from the Grand Ancestor. Didn't that mean that he was planning to recruit an army to descend to the battlefield?
"Grand Ancestor, there are currently eight Greater Realms, thirty-two Middle Realms, six hundred and twenty-four Minor Realms, and several other Minor Realms. There are a total of three thousand six hundred Ancient Races, and each Ancient Race has several races under their control. It is difficult to accurately count. There are more than eight million beings in the Immortal Realm and above … "
The Spirit Emperor pondered for a moment before replying.
She only had a vague idea of how many there were, but she was not very clear about the exact number. In the past, no one had seriously counted them.
However, the Spirit Emperor estimated that there should be around ten million Immortal Realm beings on the Spiritual Ruins Battleship.
Greater Realms were universes that were just a step away from transforming into True Worlds. They had vast resources, and the number of experts they could nurture was naturally not something other worlds could compare to.
In the past, when the Spiritual Ruins World had mobilized the entire race to traverse the Vast Expanse, they had spent a lot of effort to bring along the eight Greater Realms.
When Wanyan Xiu and the others heard this, they were slightly surprised. They did not expect that the people they had brought would have developed to such an extent after so many aeons had passed.
"There are more than eight million beings in the Immortal Realm and above?"
At that moment, Gu Changge's voice suddenly came from the Ancestral Hall.
Along with the sound of footsteps, a tall and slender young figure appeared before the Spirit Emperor.
"My Lord …"
Wanyan Xiu, Ancestor King White Bone, and the others were shocked. They did not expect that Gu Changge would appear. They bowed respectfully.
Gu Changge waved his hand, and his gaze landed on the Spirit Emperor.
If what the woman said was true, then the eight million Immortal Realm beings were a terrifying force that could not be ignored.
Even if the current Dao Chang True World included all the cultivators and living beings from various space-time continuums and universes, they might not be able to gather one million Immortal Realm beings.
This was the foundation of an ancient True World, and it was one that had just touched the threshold.
"Yes, my Lord. Right now, there are at least eight million existences in the Immortal Realm and above."
The Spirit Emperor was stunned for a moment before she answered. This was the first time she saw Gu Changge's true appearance. Previously, she had only heard some news from the maidservants.
She truly did not expect that Gu Changge would look so young. This youth was not due to his appearance, but due to the age of his bones and soul.
However, it was this young man who made all the Progenitors and Ancestor King White Bone treat him with respect and fear.
"How many existences above the Immortal King Realm are there?" Gu Changge asked again.
The Spirit Emperor thought about it for a moment, then gave an answer of between one hundred and eighty. However, she still had to order people to go to the various worlds to calculate the exact number.
This answer had already surprised Gu Changge a little.
Even when the Dao Chang True World was at its peak, it could not compare to this force. The difference in their foundation was too great.
If it was a supreme True World with an Ancestral Dao Realm cultivator guarding it, its foundation would definitely be even more terrifying. The number of Immortal Kings might reach up to a thousand, or even more.
Before she left the Dao Chang True World, Gu Changge had sensed that there were only around twenty Immortal Kings alive at that moment.
And this was after quite a number of people returned from reincarnation after receiving protection due to Qing Yi's arrangements. Otherwise, the number of Immortal Kings would be even fewer.
With the Dao Chang True World's current strength, it was almost impossible for it to withstand the descent of the True Spirit Ruins World.
