Yu Zi Yu took a deep breath, his eyes flickering.

[It’s necessary to carefully plan this out. If possible, it would be best to bring that planet under my control.]

The reason Yu Zi Yu was having this idea was because that planet was not very large. Compared to Earth, the planet on which Yu Zi Yu was currently residing on, it was at least 3-4 times smaller. This significantly increased the likelihood of a successful conquest. After all, a smaller planet likely had fewer powerful Transcendents.

The prime concern was the most powerful Transcendents on that planet. They had the possibility of reaching Yu Zi Yu’s level.

Yu Zi Yu planned to probe a bit to make an informed decision.

However, one thing was certain: if this planet did not have a formidable entity capable of deterring him, it was destined to be overrun by his legion. At that time, it would face a true interstellar invasion.

A wide grin appeared on Yu Zi Yu’s lips as he finished drawing a plan in his mind.

Just then…

*Rooooaar… Rooooaar…* Amidst a series of long roars and howls, Yu Zi Yu saw the nearby Mutant Beasts returning.  Behind them were hundreds of Mutant Beasts, fearfully dragging Spirit Stones, Spirit Flowers, and Spirit Herbs.

“Not bad.” Sensing the surging Spiritual Energy from the piled-up resources, Yu Zi Yu was completely satisfied. More importantly, resources like these would be delivered in an unending stream. This meant Yu Zi Yu’s resource stockpile would grow exponentially.

With a smile on his lips, Yu Zi Yu circulated his Spiritual Energy flow, first opening the Pocket of Ice.

The temperature inside the Pocket of Ice was so low that it could freeze most of the Spirit Herbs and Flower. Other Spirit Herbs and Flowers with specific Attributes were categorized and placed accordingly.

For instance, the Fire Spirit Grass, which could continuously grow by absorbing Fire-Attribute Spiritual Energy, was planted in the Pocket of Flame.

Over the past few days, Yu Zi Yu had discovered that planting Spirit Herbs and Flowers of similar Attributes in these Space Pockets aided the flow of Spiritual Energy and even, to some extent, the expansion of the Space Pockets.

For Yu Zi Yu, the benefits of this were self-evident.

…

Time passed slowly, and soon it was the agreed time between Yu Zi Yu and Nine Tails.

Looking up, the accumulated Spirit Herbs and Flowers had formed a small mountain.

Various Spirit Stone Mines were casually placed on the ground…

“Thank you for your hard work,” after giving his thanks, Yu Zi Yu opened the vortices of the Nine Realms of Heaven, sucking in everything.

Accompanying this, one by one, the Mutant Beasts entered the depths of the vortices in an orderly manner.

Just then, as if remembering something, Yu Zi Yu instructed, “In my various Space Pockets, you can cultivate by eating Spirit Herbs, Spirit Flowers, and Spirit Stone Mines…”

“Understood, Master.” Nine Tails nodded her acknowledgment, understanding the reason behind this.

The reason for this was naturally because the resources collected over the past few days had exceeded Yu Zi Yu’s expectations. Not to mention, the Pocket of Earth was now filled with Spirit Herbs and Flowers, teeming with life… compared to before, it was ten times more lush.

Even though this was just a small portion of the major forces’ resources on this continent, combined, it was still a staggering amount. Yu Zi Yu estimated that these resources would be sufficient for the numerous Mutant Beasts in Misty Mountains to cultivate for years.

“Uh…” With thousands of thoughts running in his mind, Yu Zi Yu was at a loss for words.

[As expected, murdering and looting is rewarding. The speed at which resources are gathered through plundering is indeed astonishingly fast. No, it can’t be called plundering. More accurately, it’s like harvesting after reaching a certain level of cultivation.]

To put it bluntly, when Yu Zi Yu had reached Tier-5, he already considered this world his own, and since it was his world, harvesting was only natural. After all, while this world was embroiled in constant internal conflict, Yu Zi Yu had been secretly preparing to face external enemies and even invade other worlds.

…

[Since resources aren’t lacking, it’s then a matter of strengthening the Sentinels and selecting suitable characters for invasion.] Shifting his thoughts quickly, Yu Zi Yu smiled in his heart. He turned his gaze towards the other side of the ocean.

[Compared to this continent, other continents are also worth visiting. From what I know, there are many powerful beings on other continents as well. Africa, the cradle of ancient civilizations, should have many powerful Mutant Beasts with considerable combat strength. Among them, there should be some that can rival monsters like the Red Beak Platypus and even Behemoth. And the mysterious Antarctic continent should also have no shortage of mysterious Mutant Beasts. If Ice-Attribute Mutant Beasts are needed, that place is also worth a visit.]

As he pondered, Yu Zi Yu’s thoughts became clearer.

Of course, clarity of thought aside, Yu Zi Yu knew that he still needed to investigate more thoroughly.

After all, times had changed, and Yu Zi Yu was not very clear about the specific situations on each continent.

For example, the current Australian Continent. If Yu Zi Yu had not deliberately released the aura of the Heaven and Earth Tree and other powerful beings to attract numerous Mutant Beasts, he wouldn’t have known that there were beings like Behemoth deep within Australia.

…

As numerous Mutant Beasts gradually returned to the Space Pockets, Yu Zi Yu’s gaze shifted to the depths of the ocean.

[While I’m plundering one continent after another, the ocean should not be too peaceful at this moment either.] With this thought, Yu Zi Yu’s consciousness shifted to a section of the Cosmic Root in the deep sea.

…

At that moment, somewhere in the deep sea, on an altar made of countless piled rocks, a section of seemingly purple root suddenly trembled slightly.

Immediately, an invisible ripple spread out in all directions.

“Hurry, hurry, tell the Patriarch, the Sacred Relic has shown movements”

“Yes, yes…” Amidst a series of exclamations, a shadow, massive and as large as a mountain, let out a deep and resonant cry.

It was a lonely and prolonged cry, but far beyond the grasp of ordinary people.

This was the unique cry of the Orca Clan.

Only a fellow Mutant Orca could understand its meaning.

As soon as this cry echoed in the deep sea, in the distance, another cry far beyond the imagination of ordinary people suddenly resounded throughout the deep sea.

Accompanying it was an overwhelming aura that surged upward.

“Mas…ter…”

Hearing the distant call, Yu Zi Yu nodded slightly and directly asked, “How is the ocean these days?”
