A middle-aged, ninth-grade Chaotic Half-Immortal stared longingly at the constantly bustling passage, a hint of envy flashing in his eyes.
Naturally, he also wanted to use the Star Gate passage to travel to that chaotic region, but alas, his power was only that of a small, insignificant sect, and his pockets were empty.
The reward the Star Gate wanted was simply beyond their means.
Beside the middle-aged, ninth-grade Chaotic Half-Immortal, an old man with湛 blue skin sighed as well.
The top-tier forces had entered that chaotic region tens of thousands of years before them.
By the time they arrived, the benefits of that chaotic region would probably have been almost completely plundered.
Even knowing that with the foundations of those top-tier forces, they couldn't swallow an entire region where all heavens converged, and there must be indigenous areas they couldn't conquer, those areas that even the top-tier forces couldn't take down were definitely tough nuts to crack, and they were even less qualified to touch them with their strength.
This outward expansion war seemed to be causing a sensation throughout the Hun Tian Realm.
However, because of the Star Gate's meddling, it had turned into a solo show for the top-tier forces, and ordinary forces like them would probably not even get a sip of the soup.
This made the old man feel extremely bitter.
And it wasn't just them; the forces gathered here were mostly small forces like them, and seeing that they had no chance at the opportunity, their moods were equally complex.
"Sect Leader Xuan Yue, please."
Above the void, the Star Gate Master looked at a female True Immortal and spoke.
"Alright, but I wonder if the Star Gate Master agrees to cooperate with my Xuan Yue Sect?"
The female True Immortal nodded slightly, a trace of movement flashing in her eyes as she looked at the Star Gate Master. The Star Gate had such methods, and it was bound to be popular in this outward expansion war. If she could cooperate with it, the Xuan Yue Sect might...
"Let's discuss this matter later."
The Star Gate Master smiled slightly, neither refusing nor agreeing.
"Alright, if the Star Gate Master makes a decision, you must notify me as soon as possible."
Sect Leader Xuan Yue smiled charmingly, then led the creatures of her own force into the passage.
"Five out of ten of the top forces in the Hun Tian Realm have come, and now, after such a long time, the other top forces have not arrived, presumably because they don't plan to come..."
After the last top force present entered the passage, the Star Gate Master looked around and thought to himself.
If the top forces wanted to come, this time would have been enough long ago.
If they didn't come, it proved that they didn't intend to come.
"The exploitation of the top forces has reached its limit. Now, it's time to focus on these small forces."
The Star Gate Master murmured.
His gaze shifted downward.

Chapter 637: Imprisonment Completed, Ah Fu's Matryoshka Doll Idea
............
Paying a heavy reward to obtain the opportunity to use the passage.
This was done to avoid arousing the suspicion of the many forces in the Hun Tian Realm.
After all, all parties were mainly driven by interests.
Moreover, the Star Gate monopolized the passage to that chaotic region.
In this situation, if they engaged in charity or used cheap methods to attract many forces to use it, it would definitely arouse suspicion, either worrying about the Star Gate's secret schemes or worrying about other reasons. In short, fewer forces would definitely come.
Heavy rewards could alleviate many concerns.
However, the heavy rewards he issued were only affordable to the top forces, while these large, medium, and small forces found it difficult to come up with.
In ordinary times, the Star Gate might not waste time on these small forces, because maintaining the passage also required a great deal of energy and power, which was not conducive to their subsequent exploration of chaos.
But this time was different. He accepted the Immortal Court's order to trick the Hun Tian Realm forces into actively entering prison as much as possible, weakening the Hun Tian Realm's foundation. Naturally, he could not ignore them now.
"Everyone, I know you want to use the passage, and I also know that you can't come up with the resources required by the Star Gate, but don't worry. I can allow you to crowdfund here. As long as you reach the number required by the Star Gate, all forces participating in the crowdfunding can use the passage, but only 20 million people can pass through the passage at a time. You can allocate the number of people yourself..."
Scanning the people present, the Star Gate Master said loudly.
"What! ?"
"Allow crowdfunding?"
"This......"
As soon as the Star Gate Master's voice fell, the ordinary Hun Tian Realm forces gathered in Shengming Domain immediately boiled over, their expressions shaking.
You must know that they had originally planned to leave.
After all, the top forces had already entered, but they couldn't afford the reward.
After rushing over for tens of thousands of years, all kinds of opportunities and fortunes would definitely be obtained by the top forces.
They had no chance at all. Some forces had already planned to give up and prepare to take on other tasks.
However, at this moment, the Star Gate Master stood up and said this, naturally causing a surge of unexpected joy in their hearts.
Visibly to the naked eye, after the boiling, the forces gathered in the entire Shengming Domain began to band together.
Many allied small forces gathered together, discussing resource crowdfunding, and at the same time deciding which family would choose to enter based on the proportion of resources.
Some forces without allies were anxiously looking for forces that could crowdfund.
Shengming Domain was therefore in chaos.
However, this chaos did not last long.
As time went by, soon, many visible crowdfunding groups emerged.
"Very good, next, please use the passage in an orderly manner!"
The Star Gate Master had a hint of a smile on his face, not knowing whether he was laughing at the large amount of resources coming in, or laughing at something else.
Those small forces that had collected the resources were all excited, their faces excited.
Previously, the top forces entered first, and they slowly rushed over for tens of thousands of years, which could be said to be a waste of time.
But now, they can also follow closely behind.
Even if the top forces enter first as a prerequisite, they can't eat anything good, but if the other party eats meat, they can at least drink some soup.
For small forces like them, the soup is enough for them to digest.
After the top forces, these small force groups began to head towards the interior of the passage one by one, and the number of people was limited. The personnel they went to were all high-level powerhouses in their own forces.
As time passed little by little.
The Hun Tian Realm forces gathered in Shengming Domain began to gradually decrease.
......
"Your Majesty, through the Star Gate forces captured previously, the Immortal Court has not spent a single soldier and has already caused the Hun Tian Realm to lose more than a hundred Chaotic Great Luo True Immortals at the peak, more than a thousand ordinary Chaotic Great Luo True Immortals, and hundreds of millions of ordinary cultivators."
Immortal Court, Xuanhuang Hall.
The Minister of the Ministry of Revenue respectfully reported.
As early as the moment the plan was agreed upon, he came to report.
Now, report the results of the battle.
"Hmm."
At the head of the Xuanhuang Hall, Xuan Ming sat upright on the imperial seat, his expression calm.
Such battle results were naturally gratifying.
But reaching his realm, even the Chaotic Great Luo True Immortals who were above all mortal beings were like ants. This report was like the Minister of Revenue and others crushing thousands of ants to death, which was difficult to make Xuan Ming's mood fluctuate.
What Xuan Ming really cared about was the Hun Tian Realm Master.
"Eternal forces such as the Hun Tian Realm all have heavenly secrets feedback. The loss of these creatures may not shake the foundation of the Hun Tian Realm, but its Qi movement will inevitably be turbulent and be noticed. At that time, the Hun Tian Realm forces will not be easily deceived by you. Be prepared to defend against the enemy, and don't be careless."
Xuan Ming said calmly.
"Yes, Your Majesty, I obey."
The Minister of the Ministry of Revenue bowed and respectfully withdrew.
...
After the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue left, Xuan Ming looked at Chaos from afar.
"I don't know to what extent the Hun Tian Realm will be damaged before its Eternal Dao Lord will wake up, or will those Dao Harmonization Saint Monarchs of the Hun Tian Realm alarm him in advance?"
Xuan Ming murmured slightly.
For him, the later the Hun Tian Realm Master wakes up, the better.
However, if he really wakes up in advance.
Xuan Ming was not afraid.
During this period of time, refining the Qi Luck Imperial Seal, his cultivation has greatly improved.
Although he has not stepped into the Chaotic Eternal Perfection, it is not far away. According to the power of the Immortal Court, even if the Hun Tian Realm Master is Eternal Perfection, he cannot harm the Immortal Court's mainland. In addition, with the Ancient Heavenly Venerable sitting in town, once a full-scale war breaks out with the Hun Tian Realm, the Hun Tian Realm's defeat is only a matter of time.
Of course, Xuan Ming hoped to negotiate with the other party, which would be after the next summoning of gods and demons, so that he would be more confident.
...
While Xuan Ming's thoughts were surging in his heart.
On the other side.
Cosmic Prison.
Due to the cooperation of the Star Gate, coupled with the preparations of the City of Technological Blessing.
Even if the number of creatures pouring into the Cosmic Prison this time was immeasurable, they were all suppressed by the army of the City of Technological Blessing, and the corpses were successively transported to major prisons and major pig farms and pig pens, waiting for the resurrection time to arrive, these were fresh prisoners.
And because of the influx of this batch of prisoners.
Jiang Tianze, who had previously lived in the pigsty, and his many "Jiang Tianze" mistresses, were driven out and sent to special areas for detention.
"Master Fu, the prisons and pigsties of the City of Technological Blessing can barely accommodate these prisoners, but dispersing them to too many locations is a lot of trouble in management, and so many prisons are likely to cause prisoners to escape due to management negligence or other errors."
In the prison command center of the City of Technological Blessing, the Chief Warden reported to Ah Fu with a worried expression.
This prison expansion has caused the number of prisons to skyrocket.
The prison manpower of the past has been seriously insufficient.
He was worried that there would be big problems next.
"Oh?"
In front of him was Ah Fu's large screen projection. At this moment, Ah Fu was tapping the table regularly, with a thoughtful expression on his face.
"I have already paid attention to this matter. Next, I will order people to build a huge prison area to accommodate these prisoners and alleviate the prison pressure."
After a long time, Ah Fu seemed to have thought of something and spoke.
