Chapter 293
Because the time required for Void Capture is fixed when resource filling is fully satisfied, as long as one roughly estimates the time of the last dungeon run in Baiye City and avoids the 'matching' time, one can steer clear of unexpected disasters.
However, this estimated time cannot be completely precise, as it calculates the time taken to clear the dungeon. During that long half-day period, all civilizations that obtained intelligence deliberately avoided that time for their Void Capture.
Even if it meant delaying their entry into the dungeon, they would rather not match with Baiye City!
It seemed that Baiye City was oblivious to this, and they did not change the dungeon entry time to target the players, which relieved them greatly.
Meanwhile, wars between territories erupted due to the competition for resource points.
Of course, there had already been numerous territorial wars in other territories within the same server over various resources, but the friction caused by the competition for resource points escalated the frequency of these territorial wars to a boiling point.
Some territories experienced explosive growth due to resource points or territorial wars, while others faced bankruptcy after losing on the battlefield.
Yet, while players were fiercely battling it out, Baiye City continued to develop rapidly, showing no signs of being affected.
One reason for this was the uniqueness of the Blue Star server; no civilization invested its main forces here to build territories. Even the Qilong Empire and the Panxing Federation, which formed the Blue Star Council, had their main territories in their own star systems.
In contrast, the Blue Star server was filled with agents, and the lord players were few and far between, with the fastest among them only reaching town level.
The second reason was strength. Even though many lords later discovered the advantages brought by Baiye City’s energy crystal mines, they would only search for resources within their own servers. Initiating a territorial war through teleportation was not only costly but also fraught with uncertainty.
Even without considering the Elven Queen and the Infernal Demon Lord currently in Baiye City, no territory would dare to declare war against it based on its past reputation.
As various territories accumulated a certain inclination towards different schools of thought in the later stages of development, declaring war would lead to a horizontal comparison of the three major school values of the two territories involved. The three schools were in a competitive and opposing relationship, and the side with a higher school inclination value would receive corresponding support.
This support could come in the form of resources, knowledge, auras, or even direct military assistance, all depending on the school inclination values.
In other territorial wars, even the weaker side could gain support from one school in comparison, but Baiye City’s school inclination was far ahead of all player territories, making it a true "triangular warrior." If it declared war, it would receive no school support at all; instead, the opposing side would gain substantial backing.
In this situation, due to its overwhelming comprehensive strength, Baiye City gradually transcended the category of its peers in the perception of interstellar civilizations, becoming an existence that others needed to look up to.
Even powerful cosmic civilizations in reality could no longer deny this.

【Congratulations to Baiye City for constructing the first grand library in the entire server!】
【You have completed the achievement 'Grand Library'; Magic School inclination +1000, Alchemy School inclination +1000, Chaos School inclination +1000.】
Unbeknownst to them, it had been three months since the Divine Realm summons began, and the five kings of the Divine Realm had been in Baiye City for nearly two months. During this time, the territory not only experienced a surge in resources with the assistance of the Elven Queen and the Infernal Demon Lord but also made remarkable progress in development.
In terms of territory construction, the advanced academy had completed its upgrade a month ago, and the most challenging landmark building, the Grand Library, was quickly constructed once the number of inventions by the territory's talents met the requirements.
The number of top-tier military units steadily advanced with the Void Capture, while cultural education saw a surge of new inventions as the professional levels of the territory's talents improved. Economically, it was thriving, with monthly fiscal revenues already surpassing ten thousand gold coins...
Everything was proceeding smoothly, with only a few of the most outstanding high-level talents needing to break through to master level to meet the requirement of ten top-tier professionals for the final upgrade to a level ten territory.
Under the guidance of the god-level inscription scholar, god-level mage, god-level alchemist, and other god-level professionals who had reached the pinnacle of their academic fields, the territory's professionals were just a step away from breaking through the master barrier.
In the streets of Baiye City, Nao stood in the center, casting an 'Invisibility' spell on himself. Passersby walked right through his figure, completely unaware of his presence, as if he existed in a different layer of space.
A faint blush appeared on Nao's previously pale cheeks as he gazed around the territory, not daring to blink. Then, he communicated in his mind, asking:
"Can you see?"
At that moment, the black pupils of the Hand of the God King deepened even more than usual, reflecting another pair of black pupils within them.
"I can see; it’s no different from seeing through my own eyes," Ye Bo replied with a smile from the divine throne. "Can you show me around?"
"Of course, it’s my honor," Nao immediately responded.
During her time on the divine throne, Ye Bo's level continued to rise. With her increasing power and control over the console, she could do more than ever before.
For instance, in the past, Ye Bo could sense the territory, but that perception was macro-level, akin to a single-player city-building game. It was similar to choosing a territory location, viewing the entire territory from a third-person perspective, but only getting a general idea, with details remaining quite vague.
Now, however, Ye Bo utilized her connection with the Tree of Creation and Nao's 'authorization' to share his current vision, allowing her to experience the changes in Baiye City from a first-person perspective.
As Nao walked, Ye Bo 'strolled' through Baiye City unnoticed, seeing familiar figures everywhere. She spotted people who had followed her for millennia, as well as those who had followed her a thousand years ago.
In the Eternal City of the Divine Realm, during her time as the God King, Ye Bo had once overseen a rather luxurious city configuration. However, back then, she had administrator privileges, and in the world she created, it was akin to playing a single-player game with cheats, so everything was top-notch.
Thus, she had the King of the Void Spirits as her assistant, overseeing the library; the Dragon of Space as her mount, guarding her treasure vault; the Elven Queen swore allegiance, tending to the Eternal City’s back garden; the Infernal Demon Lord, despite being rebellious, had to obey her commands in battle; and the Sea God was her pet, responsible for... eating and blowing bubbles.
Now, in Baiye City, the luxurious talent configuration under Ye Bo was far more extensive and comprehensive than what players knew, akin to enjoying a VIP experience that one could only have by treating an MMORPG like a single-player game with mods.
The King of the Void Spirits developed the territory's education, the Elven Queen managed agriculture, the Infernal Demon Lord and the Sea God assisted in military affairs, battling dungeons, and the Ancient Dragon...
Upon seeing the Ancient Dragon's location, Ye Bo on the divine throne paused.
Hmm... the Ancient Dragon was guarding the bakery.

Chapter 202
Over a month had passed, and more and more player territories were able to perform Void Capture. Coupled with the assistance from the Divine Realm summons, the first batch of mainstream players in the interstellar realm finally reached level 60, becoming third-transformation professionals.
At the same time, due to the resource point skirmishes and territorial wars, the player territories of different civilizations underwent significant changes compared to the previously peaceful development period. This change further impacted real-world civilizations; some civilizations experienced tremendous growth due to the myriad worlds, while some long-standing star system civilizations began to decline due to their failures in the game.
In this turbulent situation, whether in territorial or resource point disputes, Baiye City remained the transcendent existence that no one dared to provoke.
Not to mention, even without paying attention to Baiye City, one could hear news about it from the server-wide announcements.
【Congratulations to Baiye City for cultivating its fourth master-level professional!】
……
【Congratulations to Baiye City for cultivating its fifth master-level professional!】
If the first three announcements were shocking, the subsequent ones had become somewhat numbing. The territory players were not neglecting the cultivation of professionals; they had also produced high-level professionals. However, the leap from high-level to master-level was a monumental one.
