Myriad Beast Realm?
An appointment?
Why would anyone need to make an appointment?
Oh, never mind. It turned out Master Wen had just emerged from his secluded cultivation. Upon learning that the relationship between human spirit masters and spirit beasts had deteriorated to such a terrible state, he had racked his brains to construct the Myriad Beast Realm. However, it hadn't been truly opened up yet, and the technology might still be imperfect.
Therefore, he needed some spirit masters to test it out in advance.
Was there even a need to hesitate?
This was Master Wen, after all.
Master Wen needed their help to open up the Myriad Beast Realm, and they were duty-bound to assist!
"Bullshit! Scram, you're just a low-level spirit master. Why would you need room to upgrade your spirit rings? You youngsters in the spirit master world will inherit the future anyway. You have plenty of time to enjoy the Myriad Beast Realm whenever you want. Don't you know you should yield these spots to us older generation spirit masters first?"
An veteran spirit master argued righteously, using this rationale to sign up at the Academy.
Truth be told, they actually did need it more, and they were the precise target audience for the Myriad Beast Realm.
Spirit masters around rank ten or twenty only had one or two spirit rings, and their capacity was limited; they didn't have a massive demand for the Myriad Beast Realm.
While spirit rings could be obtained in the Myriad Beast Realm, the most crucial aspect was increasing the age of existing spirit rings. After all, obtaining a spirit ring was a one-time event, whereas raising a spirit ring's age could be a lifelong endeavor.
One would only seek out a spirit ring when they needed one, but upgrading spirit rings could be done at every moment of future cultivation.
To put it bluntly, everyone simply wanted to sneak into the Myriad Beast Realm first to test the waters.
It wasn't merely for the sake of getting a head start on raising their spirit ring age.
That alone wasn't particularly meaningful.
After all, they could always catch up later.
The reason these appointment spots were so precious was primarily due to bugs.
Who didn't know that systems had the most bugs when they were first developed?
Every time a new version launched, bugs ran rampant.
In the early stages of opening the Myriad Beast Realm, there would likely be no shortage of loopholes. If one could discover a loophole and exploit it a bit, raising a spirit ring's age might become incredibly easy.
The same applied to the Condensation Room.
Su Wen had merely gone to the Academic Realm to announce the news before promptly departing.
It had only been a few years since the Academic Realm was opened, yet it was already on the verge of evolving into what the internet looked like in his previous life--completely chaotic, the kind of mess that almost made one want to call the police.
Particularly for Su Wen, showing his face could instantly draw a massive crowd, attracting all sorts of bizarre behavior.
Thus, unless there was a major announcement to make, Su Wen rarely showed himself in the Academic Realm. Even when he did, he used his administrative privileges to prevent himself from being mobbed and disturbed by too many spirit masters.
"I intend to take that ice silkworm outside with me. That shouldn't be an issue, right?" Su Wen looked at the Silver Dragon King.
"You may."
Su Wen addressed the Silver Dragon King directly. She didn't place much value on Tianmeng anyway, so she granted permission without hesitation.
Di Tian felt a slight twinge of heartache.
Although his strength had reached a pinnacle, his cultivation base still fell a bit short. Having Tianmeng to devour would have saved him quite a lot of effort.
"By coming here this time, Master Wen must have another purpose," the Silver Dragon King's tone was entirely certain.
Su Wen didn't hide his intentions either.
"Yes. The relationship between spirit beasts and humans is merely a small matter. For gods, these issues could be resolved if they truly wished to, yet not a single deity has stepped forward to intervene."
Su Wen spoke casually. To resolve the conflict between human spirit masters and spirit beasts, it would require at least a First-Class God, who would also need the Divine Realm's permission and must dedicate their full effort--and even then, success wasn't guaranteed.
The only ones who could truly solve this were those few God Kings.
Yet, the Silver Dragon King did not refute Su Wen.
Because Su Wen had just resolved it effortlessly.
And Su Wen was currently inferior to a true god, even a Third-Class God.
"My primary reason for coming this time is to seek a collaboration with you, Silver Dragon King."
"A collaboration?"
Attacking the Divine Realm?
The Silver Dragon King quickly dismissed her first thought.
Su Wen bore the aura of too many deities; those were likely gods who had invested in him. He shouldn't hold any particular hatred toward the Divine Realm.
"I intend to open up a new Divine Realm, and I require your assistance, Silver Dragon King. In return, the spirit beast clan can occupy a certain share of god positions within this newly established Divine Realm."
The Silver Dragon King's aura fluctuated wildly.
The surrounding heaven and earth origin energy fell into chaos, as various elemental currents coalesced into a storm.
Su Wen remained entirely motionless.
He looked at the Silver Dragon King, waiting for her aura to calm down.
"You want to open up a Divine Realm?" A hint of skepticism colored the Silver Dragon King's tone.
"To open a Divine Realm... do you have any idea how many civilizations in the universe are attempting to do just that?"
Within the universe, countless civilizations spanned vast territories, among which were planes possessing numerous half-step God Kings or even quasi-God Kings that still failed to establish a true Divine Realm.
Yet Su Wen wanted to open a Divine Realm relying on his own strength?
"Which is exactly why I need your help, Silver Dragon King," Su Wen said, looking at her with absolute sincerity.
The Silver Dragon King commanded elemental energy. With her presiding over it, the process of establishing a Divine Realm would be significantly easier.
"My current state is insufficient to support me helping you open a Divine Realm," the Silver Dragon King stated.
Su Wen shook his head.
"I know. That's why I came to help you this time."
"Oh?"
The Silver Dragon King's tone shifted, tinged with a sudden spark of anticipation.
Help her?
If anyone else had said this, the Silver Dragon King would have sneered in disdain. But Su Wen was a guy who, with a cultivation level below even the godly rank, had managed to construct a phantom world like the Myriad Beast Realm using methods ordinary to the weakest god-level in the universe.
The Silver Dragon King knew that one could not judge this Master Wen by his cultivation realm alone.
"What is the method?"
"Transformation," Su Wen said. "Shed your current Silver Dragon King form, condense your spiritual origin, leave behind your bloodline power, and undergo human transformation. While you will lose your current body, the injuries plaguing you will vanish along with it."
The Silver Dragon King showed no surprise whatsoever.
She had entertained such a notion herself.
She continued to listen, wanting to see if Su Wen had anything to add or refine.
After all, if it was just this general direction, she already possessed it. What she lacked was the right timing and the recuperation of her own condition.
"I possess a method that can help you successfully complete this transformation, Silver Dragon King." Su Wen could also see that her current state was indeed unsuited for a direct transformation.
Whether it was the Asura Sword Qi still corroding her body or her not yet fully condensed origin, neither allowed her to transform immediately.
Indeed, Su Wen could sense that the Silver Dragon King was already attempting to condense her own origin.
Once this consolidation process was complete, she likely only needed to wait for the opportune moment to finish her transformation.
"I possess a small world. Why don't you take a look, Silver Dragon King?"
The Heavenly Book appeared in Su Wen's hand, and a phantom world manifested within its pages.
No, it wasn't a phantom.
Because what lay inside Su Wen's book was a genuine minor world; it was merely the projection hovering above the pages that was illusory.
Astonished, the Silver Dragon King extended a thread of her spiritual power and entered the minor world within Su Wen's book.
"You opened this?"
It was far too complete!
Could a minor world truly be this perfect?
