Within this starry sky, True Immortals of the Seventh Realm are extremely rare, because True Immortals all live on "the ground."

[You witnessed the birth of a seventh-realm expert; the breakthrough effect stretched for hundreds of light-years.]

After advancing to the seventh realm, that person arrived at a gathering point on the inner wall of the universe, awaiting guidance from the immortals and gods on the ground.

[At this moment, you also felt bored in the lower realm, so you chose to break through the cosmic membrane and arrive at the outer wall of the universe.]

The origin of the name "Star Universe" is now officially revealed to you.

[(Actually, it has already been revealed to you, since you were the one who broke in from the outside. The reason I'm saying this now is simply to let the original entity know the truth.)]

"Thank you so much."

The name "star" does not originate from the fact that the foundation of this universe originates from a stellar core, or from a dense starry sky composed of stellar cores.

Rather, the universe as a whole is like a single planet, a supergiant planet with a diameter of eight hundred quadrillion light-years!

The universes you previously explored, those crowded starry skies, are like the land beneath the surface of a planet, and the creatures living in those skies are like insects moving and traversing the soil of that land.

[And on the surface of the earth, there are mountains, rivers, lakes, oceans, forests, native wild beasts, and intelligent beings standing on the earth—those true immortals!]

Within the universe lies the underground; the outer wall of the universe is the Earth's surface.

Upon reaching the realm of True Immortals, immortals and gods are permitted to descend to Earth through a passage, standing atop the outer walls of the universe, much like mortal beings stand on the surface of a planet.

"You can only get to the ground through the passage? So if you don't use the passage, you're not even qualified to pass through the cosmic membrane?"

Yun Shou thought to himself, "How tough must this cosmic membrane be? Even a true immortal couldn't break it!"

He then recalled what had been mentioned earlier about the simulator.

"No wonder the children of those true immortals asked the twelve to pass on their messages. If their parents didn't do well after ascending to the divine realm on Earth, they wouldn't even be qualified to return!"

He nodded, feeling that he was absolutely right. This was the case in an old-fashioned cultivation novel, and it was the same in most of the fantasy novels he had read before his transmigration. It was easy to go up but hard to come down.

This is the complete alteration of the universe by the round creature "Apo," the master of the universe!

Upon breaking through the cosmic barrier, the newly ascended True Immortal felt an extremely terrifying gravity—a gravity powerful enough to instantly crush even billions of Thorn Power users into a two-dimensional form!

Under this gravity, all matter is compressed to an extremely compact density. A True Immortal capable of destroying a light-year in space with a single blow would be unable to even break a large rock on the surface of the universe.

Even with all his might, he could only barely levitate to a height of a few dozen meters, no further!

The farther you are from the "ground," the stronger the cosmic gravitational pull you will experience!

"This is truly the realm of gods!?"

On the surface of this planetary universe, only immortals can survive. They have formed a unique civilization on the "surface," dividing themselves into kingdoms and territories, and each member is an immortal of the seventh realm!

"So, after giving birth, you have to specially send the child to the mortal realm?"

This place is also called the realm of gods/immortals by them, but of course, it also has the simplest name: the earth.

Gods and immortals live on the ground, while mortals exist beneath the soil.

The True Immortal who had just broken through the cosmic barrier was guided by the local forces to receive his first essential task upon ascension: to mine a star core that had been there for a billion years.

"..."

[Star core minerals are widely distributed across the surface of the star universe, and their numbers increase every year, requiring newly ascended True Immortals to mine them.]

[Then, professionals will segment the extracted star cores, process the various original star cores, and distribute them to the Cosmic Alliance, allowing its subordinate units to replenish areas lacking star cores and stabilize the gravitational structure.]

The fact that the immortals and gods who first arrived on Earth spent a billion years mining wasn't actually a form of suppression, because the environment in the star core mining area resembled a natural Taoist temple.

[A billion years is roughly enough time for them to replicate three hundred points of Dao principles, making a fairly accurate copy of the main Dao principles distributed within the mining area, thus enabling them to possess the most basic survival capabilities on land.]

Otherwise, they would be too weak. There are powerful Dao-based creatures on the ground, known as Dao Beasts, which are naturally formed species in this special universe.

"But the difference between them and true immortals is that they are all governed by special parameters of the Dao. Once they leave the universe in which they were born, they will perish instantly."

Most Dao Beasts possess hundreds or even thousands of Dao Principles, and they can directly devour their companions or other True Immortals to increase their own Dao Principles.

[Comparatively, True Immortals still have an advantage. True Immortals can also hunt down other Seventh Realm or Dao Principle creatures, causing the Dao Principle-spreading phenomena of their fall to radiate outwards, and then replicate them.]

[Furthermore, outside of battle, they can improve themselves through enlightenment. Even if other Dao beasts do not possess the corresponding Dao principles, they can still enter a state of Dao integration to replicate them.]

You took a stroll through the mine with great interest.

"Ascension is a hoax... but not entirely."

[In the underground starry sky, a sixth-realm expert, as long as they don't touch the star core, can command the wind and rain at will, and destroying dozens of planets is no problem if they're in the mood—just don't damage the star core.]

[But on Earth, they are of lowly status, having to mine for billions of years before seeing the light of day again, and they must work hard just to live in a safe city. Some need to toil for billions of years to afford a house of their own.]
