Xu Zimei continued his comprehension of the Rule of Destiny, experiencing a significant breakthrough. Meanwhile, the consciousness of Tyrant Shadow fully absorbed the Heavenly Dao's consciousness, initiating a period of digestion and evolution. Afterward, Xu Zimei set his sights on comprehending the Rule of Light, seeing it as the next crucial element for his True Fate World. He then met with King Qingzhi, who provided a detailed map of the Extreme East, revealing its major worlds and power structures. Xu Zimei declared his intention to conquer the Extreme East, starting with announcing the Divine Continent's arrival via a grand ceremony.

The purpose of hosting the banquet is not only to announce the birth and appearance of the Divine Continent to various worlds.

It is also an opportunity for Xu Zimei to establish the Will of the World Bridge with other worlds.

This is the most crucial matter.

The establishment of the Will of the World Bridge signifies that the Divine Continent will be thoroughly connected to other worlds.

Whether it's resources or trade, they will be closely linked.

This has a vital role in the development of the Divine Continent.

Not only is it significant for the Divine Continent itself, but those worlds connected to the Divine Continent also benefit greatly.

The exchange in trade is mutually beneficial.

Furthermore, there are currency exchanges between different worlds.

The Divine Continent primarily produces Spirit Crystals, which is also the most important trading currency among many cultivators.

Perhaps for mortals, gold and silver are the most important currencies, capable of preservation for eternity.

But to cultivators, worldly matters are just a pile of scrap iron.

Even the finest gold and silver are useless to them.

Only Spirit Crystals.

They contain Spiritual Energy, which can accelerate the cultivation speed of lower-level cultivators. This is the most essential.

Moreover, in higher-grade Spirit Crystals, experts will engrave their Taoist Charm within.

If someone senses it, it might become an opportunity for breakthrough.

Due to the special nature of Spirit Crystals, they have become the most common source of currency exchange among cultivators in the Divine Continent.

Of course, treasures are basically exchanged using items, and Spirit Crystals can't purchase them.

According to Xu Zimei's intelligence besides the Divine Continent.

Each world's currency is completely different.

For example, the Demonic Spirit World uses Magic Coins as the main trading medium.

The True Void World prioritizes soul spirits.

Curse Bizarre Star prioritizes bloodfood.

The differences in goods are not a big issue.

The main issue is the conversion units, which are indeed significant.

For example, now each country has its own exchange rate.

The growth and plummet of these rates can ruin a nation.

Such is the case between nations, let alone between worlds.

If the Divine Continent cannot achieve recognition from other worlds in terms of exchange rates.

Suppose the Divine Continent engages in trade with the True Void World.

If the exchange rate between Spirit Crystals and soul spirits is 2:1.

Then the Divine Continent does nothing, and its goods directly devalue by half during trade.

Two items of equal value exchange for one item from them.

Thus, Xu Zimei has his bottom line.

Though the Divine Continent is just emerging, it needs to make concessions on certain issues.

Yet, compared to other currencies, Spirit Crystals, even if they're not advantageous, must not be disadvantaged either.

This must be determined from the start.

Otherwise, future troubles will be enormous.

However, he cannot directly intervene in the exchange rate ratio, or else other worlds may completely refuse to trade.

The Divine Continent needs to present its own uniqueness.

And use its expansive market to show other merchants the opportunities for profit.

Merchants are always motivated by profit.

As long as they believe they can make money, even if two worlds openly refuse to trade, they will secretly engage in it.

Where there is enough profit, merchants have no bottom line; they can break rules and ignore life.

Such is capital.

Thus, Xu Zimei has an open mind.

This banquet must happen not just for him to make an appearance, but for other forces of the Divine Continent to do so.

To communicate with forces from various worlds.

......

After Xu Zimei returned to the Divine Continent.

He started gathering a group of people to send invitations for the banquet to different worlds.

These people may not be extraordinarily powerful, but they must be eloquent.

Xu Zimei hopes there are enough attendees when the banquet is hosted.

After selecting the group, Xu Zimei sends them to various worlds separately.

Among them, visits to six giant worlds are a must, including some medium-sized worlds and smaller worlds nearby.

For distant smaller worlds, Xu Zimei couldn't be bothered.

And during this time, he bid farewell to Lin Ruhu.

Lin Ruhu was heading to Madman Star to gather information for him.

For the time being, Xu Zimei could finally relax a bit.

He wasn't bogged down by many trivial matters.

Currently, he has only two long-term tasks.

One is for the Human Shen Zhou Continent to elevate to a Giant World.

The other is for his cultivation to advance further, at least for the True Fate World to be complete.

To be able to condense a basic cosmos.

Besides these two long-term goals, Xu Zimei's immediate task is to successfully host this banquet.

No slight mishap can occur.

Though hosting the banquet doesn't need Xu Zimei's direct involvement, he just needs to issue instructions.

Meanwhile, he himself starts researching cosmic light.

To condense light, one must first understand what light is.

As previously mentioned, cosmic light manifests in many forms, not just a single type.

Gamma rays, electromagnetic radiation, x-rays, cosmic ultraviolet, etc.

Xu Zimei decides to meet or personally experience these cosmic lights.

Through discussions with King Qingzhi, Xu Zimei identified some locations where light appears.

The closest to the Divine Continent is a place called Zeus Valley.

It is situated between Qing Lan Star and Storm World.

Every year, between November and January, it experiences x-ray appearances.

However, it's currently only April, so naturally Xu Zimei can't wait until then.

There's also a remote place.

Called Light World.

This world is a Dead Star, unsuitable for biological survival.

It is located within the Star Burst area.

This planet is filled with a variety of lights.

Let alone ordinary cultivators, even Comprehenders of the Dao cannot stay here long.

Previously, a Comprehender of the Dao attempted to study this world, but never returned.

However, the Star Burst area where Light World is located lies in the Extreme South Land.

It is the coldest place in the Third Star System.

Xu Zimei wants to go there, but it's not an easy feat.

Yet, for Xu Zimei, regardless of the difficulty, he must achieve it.

Having come this far, he has encountered all kinds of challenging situations.

Still, going there is not something he needs to do now.

He will wait until after the banquet and once the Divine Continent's situation stabilizes before departing.

However, at this time, Xu Zimei discovered some changes within himself.

A special power began to stir.

A long time ago, during his journey from the Nine Domains World to the Yuan Central Continent, he briefly entered the Void Cosmos.

That time almost cost him his life.

And Xu Zimei obtained two items from there.

One resembling a piece of tattered cloth, and a cluster of blue light.

Since acquiring these items, Xu Zimei hasn't noticed any reaction from them.

No matter how he tried to activate them, they remained unmoved.

To the point that Xu Zimei almost gave up.

But now, unexpectedly they have reacted.
