Cave Refuge

In the following days, if nothing unexpected happened, Dong Tianyu would at most command his flying swords to wander nearby. It would be best if he could find other native bases, but if no new bases were found, Dong Tianyu would not meddle in affairs and would simply wait quietly nearby for the Plane Transmission Channel for return to appear.

Perhaps the enemy's scorched earth tactics were too successful, after Dong Tianyu controlled his swords to explore the area for several days, not to mention other natives' bases, he had not seen a single wild creature, resulting in a desolate vista all around. It was as if the apocalyptic wasteland style was thoroughly implemented.

When the Plane Transmission Channel for returning once again emerged, a sudden enlightenment appeared in Dong Tianyu's heart, just like locating the position of a treasure through a Sacrifice Array. The location of the Plane Transmission Channel surfaced directly in his mind, and by following this inner guidance, he could surely reach the location where the Plane Transmission Channel would appear.

Since Dong Tianyu had not traveled far, after learning that the Plane Transmission Channel for return was about to appear, it only took him half a day to reach the returning location envisioned in his mind.

Looking at the still desolate scenery around him, Dong Tianyu really felt somewhat powerless to criticize the situation, so he simply sat cross-legged on top of his flying swords, waiting quietly for the Plane Transmission Channel to open.

As time slowly passed, it turned out that no one else had returned to this place.

Facing this situation, Dong Tianyu didn't know whether the others were too far away to make it back in time or whether they had died and would forever sleep in this plane.

Regardless of the outcome for the others, Dong Tianyu did not intend to stay here much longer. Waiting for the return Plane Transmission Channel to open, Dong Tianyu would immediately return.

When the Plane Transmission Channel for return appeared, it was indeed as Dong Tianyu had initially guessed—still, none of those who had entered this plane with him were seen.

In the face of this situation, just as he thought when he first arrived here, once the return channel opened, Dong Tianyu directly entered the Plane Transmission Channel and returned to Blue Star.

Upon arriving at Blue Star, an inexplicable piece of information appeared in his heart, and Dong Tianyu was easily able to sense its source.

Even though the Plane Will of Blue Star was still in a state of slumber, every individual who had participated in the invasion of the Different Dimension would receive this message upon their return. The content of the message was to immediately hand over all items brought back from the Different Dimension.

At this time, as long as one immediately presented the things brought back from the Different Dimension, the Plane Will would swiftly absorb all the innate Plane Origin contained within them.

Under normal circumstances, the more common the item, once the Blue Star Will had absorbed all the Plane Origin contained within, it would passively draw upon the Blue Star Plane Origin to fill the void.

Perhaps it is because the items originally contained only a small quantity of Plane Origin, even if the internal origin was absorbed rapidly and all at once, although the items themselves would not be damaged, the quality of the items may decrease depending on the quantity of the inherent Plane Origin. The higher the quality of the item, the more likely it is to degrade in quality, whereas ordinary items would not experience any change.

The two treasures that Dong Tianyu brought back would, under normal circumstances, be just like that commonly seen phrase in movies and television: when blackened, they become ten times stronger; when cleansed, they weaken by a third.

Once a treasure from the Different Dimension appears on Blue Star, the innate Plane Origin within it would undoubtedly be directly drawn out by the Plane Will of Blue Star, and once a treasure's internal Different Dimension Plane Origin is exhausted, even if supplemented by Blue Star Plane Origin.

Unless arrangements were made beforehand for a Formation that could rapidly replenish Plane Origin, if there is not enough Plane Origin for replenishment, at the very least, the quality of the treasure would decrease, or at worst, the treasure could collapse and be destroyed due to the loss of Plane Origin nourishment.

Of course, this only pertains to those ordinary treasures containing Plane Origin, whereas for the more special treasures, like those currently sealed within the Cave inside.

Although it doesn't seem to have any use right now, because it has been infused with a large amount of Plane Origin, once the Otherworldly Plane Origin contained within is completely absorbed, then the treasure that serves as the carrier of the Plane Origin will inevitably collapse directly.

These preparations had actually been made by the team before Dong Tianyu returned through the homeward Plane Transmission Array, and it's precisely because of this that Dong Tianyu is now able to make a decisive choice.

He outright brought out the treasures along with the display case. If Dong Tianyu were standing in the opposing Plane, perhaps he would have had to painstakingly examine them to find the treasures, but now that Dong Tianyu was back, although the Blue Star Plane Will is still in a deep slumber.

As long as an internal lifeform performs an action in line with its thoughts, the Plane Will will instinctively reward them.

Normally, even if someone brings out items plundered from an Otherworld, they would need to be sorted and placed properly, so that the opposing side could absorb the Plane Origin faster.

But it's uncertain if it's because this was the first time, or because the things Dong Tianyu turned in this time contained a large amount of Plane Origin-infused treasures.

Therefore, Dong Tianyu this time directly took out all the items, and he also specifically applied to the Plane Will, asking it to absorb the Plane Origin from those treasures and prevent the Plane Origin of this Plane from entering the treasures.

The outcome of this action is only one: once the internal origins of the treasures disappear, the only result facing the treasures then is direct destruction.

This method of absorption is too damaging for the treasures; perhaps this time it's because the treasures brought back were just Plane Origin-infused trash treasures. Otherwise, anyone slightly intelligent would not undertake a method that exhausts the resources and destroys the benefits.

Normally, the release of the stored Otherworld Plane Origin within the treasures is slow. As long as it's controlled properly, ensuring an equal growth of absorption of the Plane's internal Plane Origin and replenishment, by the time all of the Otherworldly Plane Origin inside the treasure is gone.

Treasures preserved in this manner will generally not experience direct collapse or a reduction in quality.

While this method is good, there is an unbridgeable issue – this gradual approach, though safe, leads to the inevitable escape and loss of both the Otherworldly Plane Origin and the Plane's own Plane Origin during the transfer.

In the case of the Plane's own Plane Origin scattering, it's not a big deal as even if it disperses outside of the treasure, it's equivalent to water returning to the ocean, and in fact, there is no real impact or loss.

But if those Otherworldly Plane Origins scatter outside of the treasure, it won't take long for them to be assimilated into Blue Star's Plane Origin.

It must be understood that regardless of where the Otherworldly Plane Origin comes from, or by what means it is assimilated into Blue Star Plane Origin, as long as the outcome is good, it actually doesn't matter to the Plane Will; after all, for the Plane Will, the meat has already entered the pot. It doesn't really matter who originally put it there as long as it isn't taken away.

Although this matter is insignificant to the Plane Will, it is still very important for individuals, as it involves the rewards given by the Plane Will afterwards.

So, under normal circumstances, if one wishes to receive rewards from the Plane Will, then upon return from an invasion, all the items brought back from the Otherworldly Plane must be turned in immediately. This way, one can obtain maximum rewards from the Plane Will.

If one doesn't care about the Plane Will's rewards, or because the treasures brought back from an Otherworld possesses a potent special function, one may opt for the second method of slowly replacing the Plane Origin. Although some Otherworldly Plane Origin will be wasted during the exchange due to dispersion, it can maximize the preservation of the original power of the treasure.
