Swallowed Star: Copy God

Of course, such behavior of gambling on Clear Springs was still considered somewhat undesirable by most explorers in the Ancestral God Mystic Realm.

After all, over the years, there hadn't been many instances of Clear Springs being obtained.

With that time, it would be better to directly explore those other dangerous places; the opportunity to obtain greater benefits with the same time and effort would be greater.

Wan Ying's answer to Ye Yun's question made Ye Yun find it quite amusing.

It turned out that Wan Ying came to this Void Quagmire for no other reason than because this was a place that Ye Yun had once visited.

Among the experiences that Ye Yun had passed down, although there was no detailed introduction to what specific opportunities he had obtained in each place, some of the paths that Ye Yun had walked were all marked.

For example, these places that Ye Yun had walked along the way, such as the Purgatory Abyss, the Extraterritorial Battlefield, the Ancestral God Mystic Realm, the Zerg Universe Territory, etc., were all clearly marked.

In the Human Alliance, many younger cultivators who admired Ye Yun would, to a certain extent, walk through the path that Ye Yun had walked again, which could be regarded as getting close to their idol.

Of course, Wan Ying didn't have such an extreme idea of having to walk through it all, but since she had chosen the Ancestral God Mystic Realm as her training ground, then coming to this Void Quagmire was just a matter of convenience, so naturally there was no reason to miss it.

At a time when the Human Alliance was becoming increasingly powerful, the Ancestral God School, under the leadership of the Three Great Ancestral Gods and the Master of the Nine Netherworlds, had an increasingly close relationship with the Human Alliance.

Under such circumstances, the Ancestral God School relaxed the restrictions on the Ancestral God Mystic Realm.

As long as they were powerhouses of the Human Alliance and felt that their strength was sufficient, then they could enter the depths of the Ancestral God Mystic Realm to explore, without needing any additional status as peripheral members of the Ancestral God School.

It was under such a premise that Wan Ying, after returning from the Universe Sea, chose the Ancestral God Mystic Realm as her training ground during her exploration in the Original Universe.

Returning from the Universe Sea was because Wan Ying's training of herself had reached a considerable level of fullness.

Continuing such complex tempering was no longer necessary.

After returning to the Original Universe, Wan Ying certainly did not immediately go into seclusion, but instead ventured within the Original Universe, conducting exploration of lower intensity.

However, for a powerful Universe Venerable like Wan Ying, many places within the Original Universe no longer posed much of a threat to her.

After all, the specifications of the Original Universe were what they were; Universe Venerables could freely venture into many extraterritorial battlefields, universe secret realms, and other places without feeling any danger at all.

In the history of the Original Universe, only when the Original Star was opened would it become the battlefield for the major Universe Venerables.

However, within the entire Original Universe, there was indeed one place that could be considered an exception.

This exceptional place was the location of the Ancestral God School's Ancestral God Mystic Realm.

The depths of the Ancestral God Mystic Realm hid powerful dangers that were enough to threaten Universe Masters.

Moreover, the Ancestral God Mystic Realm had an extremely large range, and there were still many places that had not been explored.

Considering all the reasons, it was very normal for Wan Ying to choose this Ancestral God Mystic Realm.

Moreover, the Ancestral God Mystic Realm was completely open to the powerhouses of the Human Alliance, and the powerhouses of the Human Alliance also had their own advantages compared to the Ancestral God School itself.

This advantage lay in Ye Yun's in-depth understanding of the terrain, environment, and distribution of the Ancestral God Mystic Realm.

This understanding came from the Encyclopedia Information Star that Ye Yun had copied from the Original Universe's Origin Will.

This Encyclopedia Information Star recorded the detailed distribution and division of various different territories within the Original Universe.

Many of the messages, such as planets, treasures, special universe secret realms, various resources, many races, etc., were all marked in detail.

Under such circumstances, Ye Yun's understanding of the entire Original Universe instantly reached an extremely detailed level.

Even the Ancestral God School, which had the attention of the Original Universe's Origin Will, could not compare with Ye Yun in this regard.

In recent years, Ye Yun, relying on this detailed information, had Eight God Spider and Green Blood Venerable act together, bringing back many powerful treasures and resources from various remote places in the Original Universe.

Such rich and detailed information naturally included the Ancestral God Mystic Realm, which had always been mysterious to the outside world.

After the Human Alliance gradually became stronger, Ye Yun also published the map distribution of the Ancestral God Mystic Realm in the Human Alliance's information database.

As long as they were powerhouses of the Human Alliance, then they could all use this information to recognize the various different regional divisions within the Ancestral God Mystic Realm.

The Ancestral God Mystic Realm map provided by Ye Yun was far more detailed than the respective maps of the major forces before.

Which places roughly had which dangers, as well as the intensity divisions of different regions, were all marked in detail.

Of course, in order to ensure that the Ancestral God Mystic Realm still had enough challenges, Ye Yun did not provide more detailed information, but instead allowed the many powerhouses of the Human Alliance to explore it themselves.

But even so, such a regional division and intensity ranking within the Ancestral God Mystic Realm provided a great deal of support to the many powerhouses of the Human Alliance.

At this time, everyone realized that the long-rumored Eight Great Dangerous Lands of the Ancestral God Mystic Realm were only the most famous and prominent regions; there were still some other places whose dangers and opportunities were no weaker than these places.

After studying this detailed map information of the Ancestral God Mystic Realm, Wan Ying made a decision without much hesitation.

The area of exploration that Wan Ying set was in the Void Quagmire, one of the traditional Eight Great Dangerous Lands of the Ancestral God Mystic Realm.

The reason for choosing this Void Quagmire was naturally because Wan Ying was chasing after her teacher Ye Yun's footsteps.

Another part of the reason was that Wan Ying had a great curiosity about the quagmire lifeforms in the Void Quagmire.

According to the information provided, these quagmire lifeforms possessed their own wisdom and extremely strong combat power.

The most powerful of them were even comparable to Universe Masters from the outside world.

However, such powerful quagmire lifeforms could only stay within the range of the Void Quagmire, and could not leave this place even half a step.

Once they left the range of this Void Quagmire, they would be at risk of dissipating immediately.

Such a strange situation has, until now, defied explanation. We can only rely on the special rules and restrictions within the Void Marsh.

Eliminating these marsh lifeforms yields virtually no benefits, and their tenacious strength deters many explorers, extinguishing even the desire to venture further.

Wan Ying, however, harbors no such concerns. As a newly promoted Universe Venerable within the Human Alliance, she has accumulated a considerable amount of contribution points during her explorations of the Universe Sea.

In other words, Wan Ying lacks neither resources nor treasures. Her primary motivation lies in challenging herself and experiencing uncharted territories.

By this standard, the Void Marsh serves as an excellent training ground.

Upon entering the Void Marsh, Wan Ying followed the exploration experience of many predecessors in the Human Alliance, starting with the smallest marshes.

The size and specifications of the marshes within the Void Marsh are generally related to the marsh lifeforms born and nurtured within.

The larger the marsh, the stronger the marsh lifeforms it harbors.

Relying on her familiarity and control over the Shadow Demon Flower, Wan Ying's exploration progressed relatively smoothly.

The diverse forms and attributes of the marsh lifeforms provided Wan Ying with unique experiences.

Engaging with these marsh lifeforms allowed Wan Ying to gain a deeper understanding and recognition of her recent learning.

Of course, like most who venture into the Void Marsh, Wan Ying lacked the fortune to encounter a special, rare marsh, and thus did not witness any unique marsh lifeforms or the Clear Springs they might nurture.

The emergence of Clear Springs follows no discernible pattern; they might appear in a small, outer marsh or a vast, deep marsh.

Under such restrictive rules, stumbling upon the birth of a Clear Spring would likely require hundreds of millions of years.

Wan Ying was well-prepared for this and felt no disappointment. This is, in fact, the most common scenario when exploring the Void Marsh.

However, one minor dissatisfaction remained: none of the marsh lifeforms Wan Ying encountered carried any treasures.

Although these marsh lifeforms are born from the Void Marsh and merely return to it upon death,

in reality, due to accumulated time and opportunities from the Clear Springs, some marsh lifeforms do possess their own value.

For instance, the Void Marsh Serpent at the Universe Overlord level that Ye Yun encountered possessed two extremely powerful serpent fangs.

These powerful serpent fangs were comparable to the refining materials of a peak treasure and could be considered quite valuable.

However, such special marsh lifeforms are exceedingly rare, and Wan Ying, with her poor luck, encountered none.

Hearing a hint of emotion in Wan Ying's narration, Ye Yun couldn't help but laugh heartily.

Only in Ye Yun's presence would Wan Ying reveal such a childlike demeanor.

Ye Yun also enjoyed his interactions with Wan Ying. Such a mentor-disciple relationship is the most enduring and valuable treasure within the entire Human Alliance.

Refraining from teasing Wan Ying, Ye Yun casually reached out and caught a small bird in his hand.

The bird, hovering in Ye Yun's hand, continued to struggle incessantly, yet remained unable to escape Ye Yun's control.

This bird was naturally a marsh lifeform born from the Void Marsh.

However, Wan Ying was secretly astonished that this marsh bird had reached the Universe Venerable level.

Even so, in Ye Yun's hands, it was no different from an ordinary bird.

Ye Yun looked at the bird in his hand and gently asked Wan Ying,

"Disciple, what do you think is special about this Void Marsh and the marsh lifeforms within?"

Wan Ying hadn't expected Ye Yun to test her here. After a moment's thought, she replied in a deep voice,

"The marsh lifeforms are born from the Void Marsh, but strangely, they encompass flesh and blood life, plant life, rock life, energy life, and so on, almost everything, with no discernible pattern of composition.

This situation resembles the mode of the Prison race, where different components share the same underlying rules, naturally classifying them as the same race."

Hearing Wan Ying's words, Ye Yun nodded slightly.

In fact, what Wan Ying said was essentially correct. In a sense, the marsh lifeforms within the Void Marsh do share certain similarities with the Prison race.

However, the Void Marsh has greater restrictions, preventing the marsh lifeforms here from breaking through to the level of Universe Supreme Powerhouses and preventing them from leaving the confines of this Void Marsh.

Even Ye Yun could not fully explain the composition of this Void Marsh.

The Original Universe nurtures all things, which is based on its mastery of the universe's source of life.

Such things involving the origin of the universe are far beyond what the current Ye Yun can access.

However, even without understanding the underlying principles, Ye Yun can analyze the formation of the Void Marsh and the nurturing of the marsh lifeforms within from the perspective of the Prison race, which is indeed at an imperfect level.

It is this imperfection that creates such a special situation in the Void Marsh.

In fact, such imperfect situations as the Void Marsh are not uncommon in the entire Original Universe; they are even somewhat common.

The powerful races within the Original Universe today each have their own characteristics and shortcomings.

When the Original Universe nurtures all things, it cannot produce everything from a single mold; rather, it has great randomness.

This randomness mostly creates products that are unqualified.

However, a very small portion reaches a high standard or reaches the extreme in a certain aspect.

The Human race, the Mechanical race, the Monster race, the Zerg race, the Prison race, and the Crystal race have developed into peak races, which is greatly related to their characteristics.

The Void Marsh is a similar situation, but the randomness in the nurturing process is too great, resulting in such an imperfect situation.
