Chapter 635 - 555: Hearts United Across the Multiverse, Alliance Founded!

During his journey across the universe, while attempting to ally with various cultivation civilizations, Su Yuan did not only encounter benevolent ones.

Some of these cultivation civilizations delighted in warfare and slaughter.

However, due to the enemy's strength, Su Yuan did not entirely eradicate these war-crazed civilizations.

After all, he was merely an outsider, and unsolicited interference in the internal affairs of other civilizations was unwise.

Nevertheless, he didn't sit idly by. While pretending to be the Faceless Man, he struck hard, allowing these civilizations to truly experience the brutality of war, along with a deep-seated hatred and fear for the Venerable of Immeasurable Calamity.

In this way, Su Yuan easily persuaded this civilization to join the Cultivation Alliance under the theme of revenge after he appeared.

As for what happens to this civilization post-war, it depends on their performance.

If they can recognize their issues and actively reform, all's well.

If not, they cannot blame the main world for launching a great purge against them.

Besides such violent worlds, Su Yuan also encountered civilizations with extremely weak ruling classes.

There was a main world called the Ancient Spirit Realm, with no less than four Divinity Transformation cultivators holding fort.

However, these four Divinity Transformation cultivators of the Ancient Spirit Realm, as well as their Golden Core and Nascent Soul stage high-tier cultivators, were all surrenderists.

The reason was simple: they had accidentally uncovered a stone tablet recording the Immortal Tribulation and the Venerable of Immeasurable Calamity while acquiring ancient heritage.

By interpreting the contents of the tablet, the cultivators of the Ancient Spirit Realm deeply understood the might and invincibility of the Venerable of Immeasurable Calamity.

Since this civilization's birth, they knew their inevitable demise awaited them.

Therefore, as soon as Su Yuan descended in the guise of the Faceless Man, he hadn't even acted before the four new-generation Divinity Transformation cultivators of the Ancient Spirit Realm immediately surrendered without resistance, only begging to survive the Primordial Great Tribulation.

With this demonstration effect, all cultivators under the protection of these four Divinity Transformation cultivators, who had no authority to surrender, believed doomsday had arrived.

Thus, three minutes after Su Yuan's arrival, the sects and high-tier cultivators of the Ancient Spirit Realm lost their minds, seizing their last moments to kill, loot, and indulge their desires.

In just a few minutes, the Ancient Spirit Realm transformed from a barely harmonious world into a living hell.

Although, in principle, Su Yuan shouldn't intervene in the internal affairs of other civilizations, the outrageous and complex situation of the Ancient Spirit Realm forced his hand to forgo certain principles.

So he intervened directly, draining all the Power of Dao from the cultivators of the Ancient Spirit Realm, using the Corrupted Nascent Soul to extract the vast majority of their strength.

Once everyone in this world was reduced to no more than the Qi Cultivation Stage, Su Yuan handed it over to An Xingran's shadow.

An Xingran's shadow, posing as Su Yuan, led the Ancient Spirit Realm to a nearby cultivation civilization joining the Cultivation Alliance, migrating towards Blue Star, and took them along.

Although Su Yuan crippled the Ancient Spirit Realm, it nonetheless created substantial value for the Cultivation Alliance.

For example, it elevated Su Yuan's power.

His Corrupted Nascent Soul, by exploiting the cultivation of the four Divinity Transformations, successfully advanced to the Divinity Transformation Realm.

The Crown of Corruption merged completely with him, and the Artifact Spirit Xiaofu became Su Yuan's second Divine Soul.

His primary cultivation advanced to the peak of the Divinity Transformation First Layer, needing only a bit more comprehension and digestion of the Primordial Dao to ascend to the Divinity Transformation Second Layer.

After dealing with the Ancient Spirit Realm, Su Yuan tidied up two more cultivation civilizations, concluding a month-long journey perfectly.

"I think my tour was relatively quick."

Su Yuan said to An Xingran inside the mask:

"I traveled through all cultivation civilizations with new-generation Divinity Transformation cultivators stationed within a month; even the actual Faceless Man couldn't have been this fast."

An Xingran replied:

"Of course, from the memories obtained from the Faceless Man, this guy was a notorious torturer."

"With his personality, at every new cultivation civilization, he would undoubtedly employ some wicked methods to torment the entire civilization to the brink of collapse."

"Especially those stubborn Divinity Transformation cultivators; he patiently eroded their Dao Hearts bit by bit until they collapsed and surrendered."

"According to my estimation, if the Faceless Man could process all new-generation Divinity Transformations within ten years, it would already speak volumes of his kindness."

After hearing An Xingran's half-mocking and half-speculative analysis, Su Yuan fell into contemplation.

"Ten years... "

It would be wonderful to have a ten-year buffer.

Yet, Su Yuan could not naively assume he could masquerade as the Faceless Man for ten years unnoticed.

He had to prepare for the worst-case scenario, ready to counter any retaliatory strike from the enemy at any time.

"However, it's not enough for just me to be prepared; the Cultivation Alliance also needs to be ready."

The joining of twelve main worlds and great worlds is not instantly combat-ready upon entry.

Inevitable conflicts will arise among the many cultivation civilizations due to differences in character, customs, races, and culture.

All of this needs ironing out; only when these many cultivation civilizations can unite in solidarity will this Cultivation Alliance be of value.

During this time, Su Yuan wanted to help, but he had more important matters to attend to.

He needed to quickly enhance his power to sooner take on the responsibility of becoming the leader of the Cultivation Realm.

Before this, he could only hope Wan Chenxin and the native powers of Blue Star could maintain order and harmoniously unite all cultivation influences.

This was also a trial for Blue Star.

"Junior Sister An, the impersonation of the Faceless Man is temporarily over; you should return first."

Su Yuan spoke, removing the mask and reverting to his original appearance.

The mask then took on a life of its own, detaching from Su Yuan's hand, transforming into An Xingran, dressed in a high school student's uniform.

The straight-haired black-haired girl looked at Su Yuan in confusion:

"Am I going back alone? What about you?"

Su Yuan smiled and said:

"I need to find a secret place to enhance my power."

"But don't worry; once the Cultivation Alliance's power is unified, I'll return promptly."

"Also, even if I encounter a situation requiring impersonation of the Faceless Man, I can handle it with your shadow."

Upon hearing Su Yuan's resolute tone, An Xingran said nothing more about 'accompanying Su Yuan'; she simply nodded slightly and then turned to leave.

But at that moment, as if remembering something, she suddenly stopped and turned back to Su Yuan, her pretty face slightly red:

"Su Yuan, don't do anything bad to my shadow while I'm not around."

Su Yuan: "..."

He gave her an exasperated glance.

"You're over three hundred years old, and you're still thinking about such nonsense?"

He waved his hand in resignation:

"I already have someone I like; I'm not interested in a senior pretending to be a high school student like you."
