Outer space.


    Beyond measure.


    At this time, Chu Yuan is no longer in the Eternal Great World, but has arrived at the actual universe outside the domain.


    Whoosh! He exits the warship.


    Suddenly, he sees an incredibly huge existence within outer space.


    You simply cannot see its end, not knowing its width, length, thickness or how vast it truly is.


    "So, this is the Eternal Great World!"


    Chu Yuan gazes upon the Eternal Great World. It bears no resemblance to a star, rather it is extremely irregular. Like an enormous galaxy enveloped in endless radiant light.


    "It''s splendid."


    Chu Yuan is astounded.


    Even a single star would seem insignificant before the Eternal Great World; much like a giant to an ant.


    Here, you feel as though you are a grain of dust thrown into the vast ocean.


    Chu Yuan knows that this outer universe is even more colossal.


    The Greater World isn''t just the Eternal Greater World. There are infinite smaller worlds and three thousand greater worlds. This is the entire outer universe.


    "The Eternal Great World is like a heavenly kingdom; ensnaring countless people who have never been able to look into the mystical outer domain. However, it also protects countless people from the dangers of the outer domain. Every world is like a country; every country is like a day."


    Chu Yuan gains insight.


    Even though he has come to the outer space, he can only see the tip of the iceberg of the Eternal Great World.


    "Legend has it that the five emperors of ancient times left the Eternal Great World and went deep into the universe, seeking the origin of the universe."


    Chu Yuan said.


    Upon arriving in the outer domain, he indeed sensed danger. It seems calm, but countless cosmic materials transformed into rays are enveloping him and even a True God can barely defend against them with their mana.


    "Your Majesty, how vast the outer domain is, how many worlds there are, there are rumors that there are kingdoms that unify a whole world within the Greater Worlds."


    Appearing by Chu Yuan''s side is a Celestial God named Cheng Yuwen. A fourth-level Celestial God and an original Celestial God of Tianhong Zong.


    This time, he is tasked to lead the fleet in mapping and searching for ore stars.


    "In the end, there are kingdoms that unify an entire world."


    Chu Yuan gazes at the Eternal Great World. It seems as though a mere person stands before a galaxy, but this Greater World is a complete landmass.


    "That''s an ore star."


    Chu Yuan sees a massive star, around two or three times the size of his old world, slowly spinning. Its environment seems lunar-like, void of any signs of life.


    These stars absorb energy emitted from the universe, forming many mineral deposits not found in the Eternal Great World.


    "Yu Wen, this time you will lead the fleet. Starting from this dead star, expand outward and gather resources from the universe for the dynasty. You are all pioneers of the outer domain and will face countless unpredictable dangers. Hence, your treatment will be the highest within the dynasty."


    Chu Yuan speaks gravely.


    Enriching the outer domain and gathering resources for the dynasty is risky.


    Despite the vastness of the outer universe, encountering a powerful being could easily lead to annihilation. Yet, avoiding the outer domain due to its dangers and not collecting resources there isn''t an option.


    Currently, due to the expansion of the Great Wu Dynasty, the fundamental resource, Meteorite Fine Gold, is running short. Mining from the outer domain has therefore become a necessity.


    "We understand all of this!" Yu Wen nods.


    Risks accompany opportunities.


    "I chose you because you are steady, not greedy for merit nor reckless. Exploring the outer domain is a long and drawn-out process, not an overnight task. You are the vanguard. In due course, the dynasty will amplify resources and manpower, forming larger exploration legions."


    Chu Yuan says: "Currently, your biggest task is not to go to dangerous places, but to mine resources for me from these stars."


    "I understand."


    Yu Wen nods.


    Although it''s humorous to think of exploring the universe with their current manpower, it is a process of continuous learning.


    The five Starry Sky Battleships temporarily dock on this star, and numerous puppets emerge.


    These are puppets made per Chu Yuan''s orders at the Puppet Department for mining resources in the outer domain. They possess no special abilities, only tremendous strength strictly for mining.


    The True Art of Artifact Refining contains many methods of creating these types of puppets.


    "Open an outer domain route. The resources will cycle back to Great Wu. The exploration here, for now, is handed over to you."


    Chu Yuan stands in the vast outer space, his eyes fixated on the Eternal Great World. It is still enormous. With a single step, he tears through the void and returns to the Eternal Great World.


    He is not alone and cannot linger in outer space for too long. In the kingdom, many other matters await his attention.


    For now, the outer domain can merely serve as a resource collection site.


    "Outer space is boundless and vast. It is also exactly the time for me to stretch my wings. Currently, it seems like a dangerous and bitter task in the outer universe, but the benefits are also large. In the end, the dynasty will need resources from the outer domain as supplements!"


    Yu Wen sees off Chu Yuan''s departure.


    Although he presently only controls five Starry Sky Battleships, he is aware that the emperor will continuously provide reinforcements.
