Chapter 723 398: The Grand Finale

In the Gray Mist Space, all Shen Yu could distinctly feel that this was true dissipation.

Consciousness was being withdrawn.

The heart of Main Body Shen Yu tightened as he asked two questions in one breath.

"To what level must one reach to stand before you, and what is 'Source'? It seems they know about us?"

If everything the other party said was true, then these two civilizations, one concerned the future, the other the present.

The other party answered nonetheless.

"Keep developing, do not halt your progress, walk a path that constantly grows stronger and develops forever. Someday, you will truly encounter us and join us. As for 'Source'... it is a failure, a force banished from humanity's civilization path, they know of our existence, know of our actions, and also see the same shadow on you."

With that final sentence, this being's form finally dissipated completely.

Shen Yu thoroughly examined the Gray Mist Space, and used the Gray Mist for repeated verification.

Finally confirming that indeed, the other party left no traces behind.

He looked at the other Shen Yus in mutual understanding.

Ultimately, it was Main Body Shen Yu who first spoke, "What do you all think?"

"What the other side said is likely true," interstellar Shen Yu spoke first, "After gaining complete control of the Gray Mist Space, one can truly feel the might of those who created it; with such powerful technology, there are so many ways to lay traps during our growth without needing to deceive us with such lies."

Shen Yu nodded slightly.

In his heart, it felt as though a heavy stone was finally being lifted.

He wasn't especially fearful of 'Source'.

Because it's an enemy that can potentially be defeated.

But, he indeed feared the creators of the Gray Mist Space.

As interstellar Shen Yu said, as long as the creators of the Gray Mist Space harbored even a trace of malice, the Association would almost have no resistance.

There are too many ways for them to subtly incorporate this malice during this journey of growth.

However — the Thirteenth Stage is indeed not the end.

"Gentlemen," Shen Yu looked at the other Shen Yus, "you all heard clearly, our path is far from over, 'Source' remains a dangerous enemy."

With these words, everyone recalled what that figure said at the end.

Could it be that Source is also a civilization they guided?

Just like the Association?

All of the Shen Yus immediately realized what this meant!

It means, Source might also possess as strong a foundation as the Gray Mist Space!

Instantly, the expressions of all the Shen Yus turned serious.

Originally, they thought that with their entry into the Thirteenth Stage and complete control of the Association, this war would soon come to an end.

But if Source is similar to them, then this civilization's strength should not be underestimated!

"Does Source have any reaction now?" Shen Yu turned to the interstellar Shen Yu, who was the battlefield chief commander.

"They seem to have temporarily fallen back," interstellar Shen Yu said, "after we dealt with those special extraordinary units and provided our own troops with special law enhancements, Source lost all their advantages at the frontline, so a tactical retreat is indeed expected."

After a slight contemplation, Shen Yu's face turned serious as he made a decision.

"If that's the case, let's take the initiative to attack, directly reversing the offensive!"

With the advancement of this decision, the entire Association World, and even the other Eight Great Forces, were all immersed in immense joy of the strategic reversal.

In the past thousands of years, the entire Association had been engulfed in a bitter war, the despair, as well as the huge pain brought by the sacrifice of countless comrades and relatives, needed to be released.

At the same time, Shen Yu and others also fulfilled their earlier promise to the Eight Great Forces.

Integrating all the Eight Great Forces into the Association.

Even granting each of the Thirteen-Tier powerhouses from these forces the title of "Honorary Member".

Still allowing them to manage their civilization, merely following the rules of the Association.

Also granting them a certain share of the Gray Mist.

Now, the Association no longer needs to conceal the existence of the Gray Mist Space.

Even the existence of the "All Heavens Human Association" does not require much secrecy at the higher levels.

This actually increases others' commitment to the Association.

Previously, the "Association Senior Members" fabricated by the Association were false, but this All Heavens Human Association is completely real.

In short, after quickly adjusting the internal conditions of the Association, the entire focus of the Association shifted to 'Source'!

Currently, the Association has just crossed a critical threshold, looking ahead, the path is open, however, this stage is also the weakest stage for some time to come.

'Source' will absolutely not give up easily.

Especially after knowing that 'Source' itself also possesses something akin to the foundation of the Gray Mist Space.

"First, we need to eliminate the Source's military threats in these two known regions of All Heavens," Shen Yu swiftly instructed, "Then, we need to locate where the other's territories in the All Heavens Région are, particularly the core or even the base region. I suggest sending Cultivator Shen Yu for exploration and reconnaissance for this task."
