The Plan

I smirked, showing little difficulty conveying that most of what happened outside was an act. "You'll have to forgive me father, but I did have to act a little. This next part is related to my promise with the remnant spirit of the Grand Sky World. I was going to need your help from the start and it's best to not let others see what I am about to do." I said, confirming Yang Kai's initial suspicions.

"I see, so what do you need me to do then?" Yang Kai asked, sitting down in front and facing me. While he crossed an arm over his chest and thought holding his chin.

"I need you to spread your Small Universe. So I can enter and transfer the remaining strength of this Universe World to the Star Boundary. I'll be using the World Tree as a pathway." I said, plainly.

"I see, what will you do if the World tree doesn't want you to use it in that way?" Yang Kai asked.

"Father, I have little doubt that the Senior World Tree would resist this benefit. As every Universe World could be said to be a root or a branch. It would probably be more accurate to say that the 3000 Worlds in some way is actually the Senior World Tree. So given the Spirit's objective vigor at my plan before I doubt there will be an issue." I explained a little more.

"Very well then, I'll play along but if it doesn't work would you be willing to give that energy elsewhere?" Yang Kai asked.

"Of course I would be. It would be disrespectful to waste so much energy. However, I'd prefer it if it made its way to the Star Boundary." I said.

"Good! Then I'll allow you to do this. So long as you stop causing me trouble." Yang Kai said, Spreading out his Small Universe.

~~In the void outside the Lightning barriers.~~

"Yang Kai even had to spread his Small Universe. It must be serious indeed." Feng Ying said worried whilst grabbing her stomach in pain.

"I hope everything is alright. Little Leiji is too adorable to lose now." Bai Yi said, even more worried now, since she had let me go forward with my plan.

"The two of you don't need to worry too much. This brat of mine had this all in his plans. And it seems like he knew that spreading my Small Universe would be for the best. As it makes it seem more like an emergency. Rest assured Leiji is fine." Yang Kai sent a whisper to Feng Ying and Bai Yi.

~~Inside Void World~~

"It's Young Master! Quick go tell the mistress Huo Lei! I'm sure she wants to see him." A woman said, before walking closer.

"Please stop there for now. I won't be here long this time. I just need to use the Tree alone for a moment." I said, raising my hand to stop the woman's advance.

"Right away Young Master. I will have everyone clear away from the tree." The Woman cupped her hands and left in a flash excited to have a direct order from me.

"Hmm… was receiving an order directly from me really that exciting?" I pondered as I watched the woman run away.

"I think that just shows how thankful they are for your life saving grace. You treated their wounds at the risk of your own life so it's right they and their families serve you with everything they have. Since that's the case it makes sense why the young woman was so happy." Fang Qing explained.

"If you put it like that I can understand why. But I don't understand why those who willingly moved here would feel the same… Perhaps it's the life away from worries of the big city? Or perhaps it is because I am a dragon and they don't need to fear for their safety?" I said, as I waited for the area around the World Tree Subtree to be cleared.

"This is probably the single safest place in the whole of the Void World. So it's easy for them to thrive here. Look at them, there are many women hanging around a specific area over there and some of them have large bellies. Perhaps you shouldn't worry too much about things anymore. With a few more men in the mix it would completely balance out right?" Fang Qing inquires.

"It won't be enough. Since once I have returned after dealing with a few things outside. The count will increase. I only hope that I didn't wait too long. We will need to supplement with more men. Though I'll worry about that another time. I wouldn't mind having to take boys and wait for them to grow up a little. Even that would be significantly faster than what we have going on now." I said, plainly and walked up next to the tree now that everyone was cleared of the area.

"Well perhaps in that case we should think of other solutions as well. Maybe your father can use them later to help his own breakthrough. And increase the population in the Void World as well. I assume he will be needing it anyways, am I right?" Fang Qing asked, facetiously. I let it go since I knew she was joking as she had seen the answer herself and now fully understood the true horror of the Ink Clan.

I put my hand on the World Tree Subtree's trunk and closed my eyes focusing hard and with great effort. "Senior World Tree if you can hear me please listen to my request…" I said and waited a moment then the Tree branches waved slightly in response. "Thank you, here is what I wish for. I hope Senior will accept and help this Junior…" I said going into a deep explanation of what I am asking for.

A few moments of pondering later I felt the excess energy leave my body and flowed into the tree. I then got the sense of approval from the Senior World Tree. "Thank you, for your help, Senior. I won't disturb you any further now." I said, removing my hand from the trunk and stepping away. "Alright Father I'm done, I was successful." I said to the sky and stepped through a portal.
