Chapter 297
Just like when the Star Alliance refused to relinquish the nearby Blue Star, which had a wormhole, in the face of the potential threat posed by the chaotic star sea represented by Bai Ye, now, confronted with the overwhelming possibility that Ye Bai was in that very chaotic star sea, the Star Alliance, despite their shock and urgent desire to find her, found themselves utterly helpless.
...
Back in her territory, Ye Bai was once again met with the long-awaited warm welcome from her residents:
“Greetings, Lord!”
“Hello, my Lord!”
After upgrading to a main city, the Tree of Creation no longer had new technologies to unlock. Instead, it had solidified the strongest policy cards in military, economy, production, and livability. Various infrastructures had reached their maximum potential, and only the advanced academies, having gathered high-level extraordinary knowledge from the three major schools, would give birth to top-tier knowledge that fused the strengths of all three.
As for the newly acquired title of "Eternal City," Ye Bai paused for a moment before smiling. Whether it was due to some connection to her or merely a coincidence, was something that remained uncertain.
In any case, Bai Ye City had now reached the ultimate form of infrastructure gameplay in the myriad worlds.
The air that day was filled with a joyful atmosphere. With the territory upgraded to its peak, Bai Ye City automatically entered a three-day citywide celebration.
Thanks to the power from the Tree of Creation, or rather, the system, all energy pumps in the city automatically filled up, drawing energy without depleting the source energy crystal mines. Various production, basic, and entertainment facilities operated automatically.
In the theater, instruments played cheerful melodies without needing anyone to perform, serving as the city’s background music.
In the supply buildings, resources appeared out of thin air, automatically filling with the corresponding high-level supplies: as long as a resident brought a cup to the tavern’s barrel, it would automatically pour out, seemingly endless, with fruits and delicacies appearing in the same manner.
Every time the baker opened the oven, a new batch of fragrant bread emerged. The owner let passersby take their pick while he busily replaced the shop sign with a new one—“Dragon Bakery.”
The celebration featured various competitions, with the four divine kings—Nao, Ottofis, Kraken, and Ainolucia—participating alongside Ye Bai, which felt a bit unfair to the other contestants...
“Oh my! What a little glutton!”
Kraken unsurprisingly dominated the eating contest, winning first place against all other competitors.
“Ah! I won again!”
Ainolucia swept the ring toss competition.
“Nao, you…”
Nao participated in a riddle contest, leaving the scholar who posed the questions momentarily frozen.
“Everyone, watch my magic trick... Ah! Caught!”
The mischievous Ottofis became an unwitting audience member for a spatial magic act, accidentally ruining the magician’s performance.
Of course, Ye Bai didn’t forget about Walsh, who had recently contributed his “little effort” in the Void Capture, and had Ottofis send the delicious dishes from the celebration into his dimensional space.
...
Taking a day to relax, after participating in the celebration, Ye Bai left the myriad worlds.
Back in the Star Network, she glanced at her inbox, which was once again overflowing with messages, and then looked at the cosmic news that was flooded with updates from Bai Ye City and the Dragon.
This chain reaction didn’t surprise Ye Bai too much. After a brief understanding, she continued to log out of the Star Network.
As for the Star Alliance, which had once filled her with fear and worry, Ye Bai had long since changed her mindset. At least now, she was confident that as long as she didn’t go mad and confront the war machines created by cosmic-level civilizations head-on, no one in the universe could do anything to her.
In fact...
Returning to reality, Ye Bai looked down at her body, which had undergone a transformation, nearly entirely composed of strange energy.
During the time when the divine realm expansion was unfolding, the power she had accumulated over a thousand years in the divine realm had also completed a kind of “return.”
An A-level psionic, her power now belonged to her alone. Even within the Star Alliance, she was recognized as a strategic force with significant influence. Back then, Ye Bai had disguised herself as an A-level, which made the Star Alliance hesitant to push her too hard. According to the star bishop Leren, whom she had killed, A-level was the pinnacle of psionic power according to cosmic rules.
In the myriad worlds, demigod levels from 80 to 100 corresponded to A-level psionics in reality.
Now, when Ye Bai opened her game panel, she saw her personal level—150.
Her game information panel no longer displayed any of the past attribute values or experience points; instead, it showed a long string of continuously fluctuating numbers.
God-level beings above level 100, in reality... perhaps they should be called S-level?
Once, when Ye Bai’s psionic power reached B-level, she could challenge A-level powerhouses using her time abilities and the legendary magic she acquired in the myriad worlds. Now, if she were to reassess her strength, she couldn’t quite articulate where she stood.
The notion of not confronting the war machines of cosmic-level civilizations head-on stemmed from the fact that Ye Bai had never actually seen those war machines. Based on her past impressions, there was a tendency for overestimation. In reality, she felt fully capable of easily handling combat technologies like the “Railgun” and “Gravitational Trap” found in stellar technology.
Of course, Ye Bai hadn’t forgotten the warnings she received from the information flood about the need to be cautious of the stars. Although her true strength had now surpassed the upper limit of A-level, she still employed time magic to keep herself in a state reminiscent of the past, at the peak of A-level, to avoid any undesirable consequences.
Aside from the lack of an intuitive comparison for her power increase, the most significant change brought about by her transformation was that Ye Bai could now “see” parts of the Star Network.
This newfound sight was different from the way she could directly enter the Star Network without a terminal when she reached A-level; it was akin to how she could see the “source code” that constituted the game world of the myriad worlds through the console on her divine throne.
Having reached her current level of power, Ye Bai realized that the Star Network was never just a simple virtual communication tool. In fact, the Star Network was merely a manifestation of some colossal entity. The so-called entry into the Star Network was simply following certain rules to touch it from a specific angle.
If Ye Bai had to describe it, the feeling was akin to being in a higher dimension of the current real universe, where, in the same location, there existed a universe entirely composed of psionic energy.
Ye Bai vaguely sensed that it might be the very essence that constituted the universe. The cosmic energy that psionics drew upon could slightly influence the tides within that “psionic universe,” but until one surpassed A-level, it was impossible to comprehend it.
If the initial source code that influenced the changes in the divine realm was akin to the “root code” of the real universe, then this existence resembled that very “root code.”
The Star Alliance used personal terminals to access the Star Network, while the Stellar Church utilized terminals to publish tasks for trading. Essentially, both were technologies that leveraged the psionic universe.
Now, Ye Bai felt like a fish that could briefly leap out of the water, catching a glimpse of a higher-dimensional world. Yet she understood that what she saw was still only a part of the whole, and the ultimate reality remained veiled behind a layer of mystery.
However, with this newfound understanding, Ye Bai found herself with a clearer direction compared to her previous state of confusion. She focused her gaze on the jade terminal in her hand—
The Star Network and Stellar Technology were two sides of the same coin. The ancient and elusive Floating Spirit Clan, connected to the Star Network, if it still existed, was likely hidden in the core secrets of the two cosmic-level civilizations, making it a challenging endeavor to explore.
But as for Stellar Technology, she had a copy right in her hands.

**Chapter 205**
Ye Bai’s gaze fell upon the Stellar terminal in her hand.
This time, the timing was unfortunate; there were no new tasks in the mission area. However, this terminal no longer served merely as a functional information tool for Ye Bai.
With her current strength, she could better perceive the uniqueness of the Stellar terminal. It was fundamentally different from any other items in this world, no matter how rare the materials might be.
