“The Crystal Clan is ranked among the top races of the Myriad Clans, despite the fact that their individual combat strength isn’t particularly impressive… And it’s because their terrifying trait lies in their ability to fuse together. The more Clansmen involved, the more powerful the resulting fused entity becomes. Legend has it that when six Peak Tier-5 True Gods of their Clan combines, they can even contend with a Tier-6 Overlord…”

As she narrated this, Avril’s eyes narrowed slightly.

It was precisely because of this fusion ability that the Crystal Clan ranked within the top hundred of all Clans. Otherwise, based on their individual strength, they would never make the list.

Still, due to this unique racial trait, it also meant that Miracle Fruits derived from their Bloodline would not be excessively powerful.

“In that case, this race is rather intriguing,” Yu Zi Yu remarked with a light chuckle. He clearly looked unconcerned.

As a matter of fact, he really did not care about the strength of a race, nor did he concern himself with the power of the fruits derived from them.

What he truly valued was the ‘Bloodline Power’ buried deep within the lineage of Myriad Races. Such power, regardless of its might, held immense value to Yu Zi Yu.

Just like now, Yu Zi Yu raised his eyes slightly as he lifted his right hand.

The next moment…

*Booooom…* With a sudden roar, a wisp of blood-red energy swirled around the back of his hand. As the blood-red hue flowed along his right arm, layer upon layers of crimson scales, resembling fish scales, emerged on it.

This was Blood Demon Transformation, an ability unique to the Blood Demon Clan, which allowed them to grow protective crimson scales.

Though originally exclusive to the Blood Demons, Yu Zi Yu could wield this power through the Blood Demon Treant.

By condensing his Blood Energy and channeling Spiritual Energy, he could construct blood-colored scales, forming an armor-like layer.

Unfortunately, while this ability was peculiar, it wasn’t particularly useful to Yu Zi Yu.

His true interest lay in the deeper powers of the Blood Demon Clan.

However, exploring such profound forces was a long and arduous path, far beyond his current capabilities. It would likely require him to ascend to Tier-7, the Realm of Hegemony before he could truly unravel the mysteries of the myriad clans’ powers.

For now, any attempt to forcibly delve into these depths would be futile—a case of putting the cart before the horse.

Compared to these powers, just a casual wave of his hand could cause far more devastation.

“In the end, it’s all about accumulation. The strength of a single race may be ordinary… but the combined might of hundreds or thousands of races? Even Eternals dare not underestimate such a fighting force,” Yu Zi Yu couldn’t help but muse aloud, a slight smile tugging at the corner of his lips.

Moments later, as if struck by an idea, he slowly raised his hand, reaching toward the shattered city that floated closer in the distance.

This was but a corner of the now-devastated city of the Crystal Clan.

From his observations, Yu Zi Yu discovered around 200,000-300,000 Crystal Clan members still clinging to life within this fractured portion.

At this moment…

*Boooooom…* Accompanied by a resounding roar, four figures suddenly flew out of the Crystal Clan city fragment.

The figures varied in size. However, the most eye-catching among the four was a towering and dazzling Crystal Clan expert, standing over a hundred meters tall and radiating a kaleidoscope of hues.

His entire body seemed to be forged from crystals. At a glance, he appeared no different than a statue.

However, this statue was lifelike, and faint traces of fear could be spotted flickering across his face.

This was a Tier-4 Crystal Clan Transcendent.

Nonetheless, he too was destined to become nourishment for the Tree of Miracles.

*Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh…* In an instant, four green branches, resembling snakes, shot toward the four figures.

“Be sure to grant them a swift end.”

As if hearing Yu Zi Yu’s command, the branches accelerated abruptly.

*Boom, boom, boom…* Four successive explosions echoed as the four Crystal Clan members were shattered into crystalline fragments before they could even react. These fragments were gradually absorbed into the branches of the Tree of Miracles.

Watching this scene unfold, Yu Zi Yu merely raised an eyebrow before turning to leave.

[In a world where the strong prey on the weak, this is the unvarnished truth. There is no right or wrong here. From the perspective of the Crystal Clan, the Tree of Miracles’ actions are cruel. But from the perspective of the Treant Clan, the Tree of Miracles is just devouring the Crystal Clan’s people to nurture Miracle Fruits, in order to enhance their race’s strength. Considering this… How can one speak of right or wrong? The strong live and the weak perish. The truth of the world is as simple as that.]

As these thoughts flashed in Yu Zi Yu’s mind, a faint smirk curled the corner of his lips as he found himself getting a deeper grasp at the survival laws governing the starry skies.

[In fact, this principle held true for the Void Clan as well. To the Myriad Clans, the Void Clan is ruthless and merciless, preying upon others for survival. But for the Void Clan, this is a necessity for survival and growth.]

[If they failed to find a suitable body… If they failed to plunder enough flesh and blood… They would inevitably be devoured by stronger Void Creatures.]

*Tsk tsk…* Clicking his tongue, Yu Zi Yu suddenly shifted his gaze toward Avril, who was preparing to depart in the distance.

“Be cautious in the days ahead… it seems you’ve been drawing the attention of quite a few powerful figures,” with a touch of concern in his voice, Yu Zi Yu offered his reminder.

“Understood, Lord of Corruption…” With a radiant smile, so enchanting it seemed to drain even the Void Space of its color, Avril gracefully nodded. Then, with a swift turn, she flew off toward another corner of Void Space.

As for the shattered Crystal Clan’s city she had dragged over, along with its 200,000-300,000 Crystal Clan members, they were naturally left behind on the Void Continent.

Currently, the Void Continent already housed eight cities.

Each city was inhabited by a different race.

Over time, as the Void Space’s influence eroded these races, they would slowly assimilate… until eventually transforming into true Void Creatures.

By then, Fallen Titans, Fallen Beastmen, Fallen Angels…One after another, these beings who had embraced the Void would emerge.

Of course, this did not include those unable to adapt to the Void Space.

Those who could not adapt would either be erased by the Void Space, or become food for the Void Clan.

After all, the Void Continent was already teeming with Void Creatures.

However, Yu Zi Yu had issued a strict order, forbidding any Void Creature from entering the cities.

In other words, within the cities, these starry-sky races were safe.

But the question remains… how long could the resources within the cities sustain them?

With a playful smirk, Yu Zi Yu could not help but anticipate the spectacle of these races leaving their cities to compete with countless Void Creatures for food and territory.

This was the small testing ground Yu Zi Yu had created—A trial to nurture truly formidable beings from the Myriad Races who could adapt to the Void Space.
