During this rare period of cultivation, Yu Zi Yu calmed his mind and organized his current training path.

 

However, perhaps due to the Supreme Principle of Spacetime being too terrifying, even after decades of patient cultivation, the transformation of his Spiritual Energy had only progressed by a tenth or so.

 

According to his estimation, it would take him at least another century before he could completely transform his Spiritual Energy into Spacetime Spiritual Energy.

 

And at that point would he be able to shatter through Heaven’s Door.

 

But just as that thought surfaced, Yu Zi Yu’s expression stiffened slightly. “Why don’t I… borrow the power of Time itself to hasten my cultivation?

 

After all, the conversion of Spiritual Energy relied more on one’s own continuous tempering. Accelerating time wouldn’t affect it.”

 

As he whispered to himself, his eyes gradually lit up with a hint of excitement.

 

He did not seek much, he only accelerated the flow of time within his Spacetime Dimension by a hundredfold compared to the outside world. And this way, when only one year had passed in the universe, he would have finished refining his Spiritual Energy and stand before Heaven’s Door.

 

And that… was the beauty of the Principle of Time.

 

Until now, Yu Zi Yu had largely ignored this possibility, too preoccupied with his grander schemes and preparations.

 

More importantly, frequent reliance on temporal acceleration was dangerous, even suicidal.

 

Because those who lingered too long in distorted time, they might become lost in the river of time. One moment of inattention, and by the time consciousness returned, a million years might have already passed.

 

That was the true horror of temporal cultivation. Most beings who cultivated time were particularly wary of this, even Yu Zi Yu was no exception.

 

Thus, unless absolutely necessary, he had always refrained from using temporal acceleration to train. It was perilous… and deeply unsettling.

 

“But for me now… time is of the essence.” His murmur faded into the stillness of his domain, as a glimmer of resolve flashed in the depths of his eyes.

 

If his strength could rise even higher, it would not only benefit him but uplift the entire Demon Court.

 

Thinking this, he exhaled a long, deep breath, and settled his thoughts.

 

Then, with his mind clear once more, he stepped out of that isolated Spacetime Dimension. Before accelerating his cultivation, there were matters he needed to arrange.

 

…

 

*Thump…* As his foot touched the floor, the entire Demon Palace trembled.

 

Immediately afterward….

 

*Swish, swish, swish…* Accompanied by a series of whooshing sounds, dozens of streaks of light tore through the void and descended into the Grand Hall of the Demon Palace one after another.

 

These were none other than the most powerful and trusted figures of the Demon Court: Nine Tails, Princess Ling Er, Slytherin, and others of equal might.

 

“Our Demon Court is quite strong now, and possesses overwhelming momentum. So, you can expand with a bit more audacity. You don’t need to restrain yourself,” Yu Zi Yu declared. His tone was plain, but the ambition hidden within was unmistakable.

 

“Master, you mean…?” Golden Monkey’s voice broke the silence, his eyes flickering uncontrollably.

 

“You get it, right?” Yu Zi Yu’s soft laughter echoed faintly through the hall. However, he did not explain. For someone of his standing, too many words were unnecessary. His subordinates would have to comprehend his meaning on their own.

 

At present, the Demon Court reigned supreme over six prime galaxies, and its influence stretched across hundreds more. Although its power was terrifying, it was still far from meeting Yu Zi Yu’s expectations.

 

The endless universe was primarily divided into five Sectors. Each Sector was boundless beyond measure, containing millions upon millions of galaxies. Most, of course, were barren galaxies. However, even so, within a single Sector, tens of thousands of galaxies teemed with life.

 

And his Demon Court? Its reach extended to barely a few hundred. Not even a hundredth of the Western Sector.

 

This was far from what Yu Zi Yu hoped for.

 

With such a scale, how could they ever hope to extend toward the other Sectors, or beyond, into the vast Chaos and other dimensions?

 

The universe was but the material plane, but also the most fiercely contested place among all Races. However, beyond the material plane, exploring the boundless Chaos Sea, and delving into the more phantom dimensions that few dared to tread was the true mark of a powerful Force.

 

Conquering and expanding without end.

 

Yu Zi Yu had already heard that the Dragon Clan, under the command of their Patriarch, the Dream Dragon, had launched an expedition into the Realm of Nightmares. They had even brought the Nightmare Clan under their banner.

 

That was what it meant to be a great power.

 

And so, the Demon Court could not fall behind.

 

“Hehe…” The Golden Monkey’s lips curved into a sharp grin as understanding dawned in his eyes. Then, stepping forward, he bowed deeply, promising, “Rest assured, Master. I will not disappoint you.”

 

Yu Zi Yu gave a slight nod, his gaze shifting toward another figure, a pale-skinned being with cold, slitted eyes gleaming like a serpent’s. “Slytherin, I leave the exploration of the Phantom Worlds to you. If there’s war to be waged beyond our realm, the command is yours. The Phantom Worlds are unlike this universe. They cannot be conquered through brute force. After all, they belong to a different dimension altogether…”

 

Hearing this, a faint smile tugged at the corner of Slytherin’s lips.

 

The so-called Illusory Worlds may sound mysterious and intangible, but they were simply worlds that didn’t exist in the universe, but in the layers between space.

 

The Void Space was one such realm, but it was hidden in the deepest spatial layers, beyond the reach of the mightiest Races of the universe. The Shadow Realm of the Shadow Clan, the Realm of Nightmares of the Dream Demons, even the Heavenly Demon Realm of the Heavenly Demon Clan were all Phantom World, untouchable yet perceptible, each with its own strange existence.

 

And these worlds were immensely rich and possessed unique resources.

 

Slyhterin himself had subdued the entire Shadow Clan, using them as his eyes and messengers to gather intelligence from every hidden corner beneath the universe.

 

Thus, the exploration of dimensional worlds was not mere curiosity, but essential, it was an invisible game of shadows, a war fought in unseen realms.

 

The more dimensions one controlled, the greater their dominion became.

 

Of course, the Void itself was no longer a simple dimensional world. It had long transcended such definitions.

 

It had surpassed ordinary dimensional worlds. It was a terrifying place capable of challenging even the Myriad Races of the universe.
