This was a crystal maze. Everywhere glowed with dazzling fluorescence, an endless ocean of vast radiant light. Shimmering in white gold, like a dense golden mist, it reflected a world of conventionally exquisite diamonds, pure white and sacred. Each tunnel was incredibly solid.

"No wonder those elements prefer living underground. The deeper you go, the stronger the electromagnetic and radioactive elements become, while intense gravity further condenses them... I'm afraid if we go deeper, it might even turn into an ocean?"

Di Qi smiled. "But you really have numbers on your side... Back then, just over a hundred Super Saiyan Gods could barely fight against the weaker Nine-Pillar Gods of the ninth tier. Now with over a thousand, they can probably contend with a regular ninth-tier being, right?"

Caroline thought for a moment and nodded. "I don't know, probably. But their raw strength might still be a bit weaker."

It was somewhat normal that over a thousand ninth-tier Super Saiyans could barely contend with a regular ninth-tier being from an incomplete system, especially considering they were the weakest ninth-tier beings due to their 'super disability'. One should know that Super Saiyans had no threshold for the ninth-tier realm; after breaking through to an eighth-tier deity, they could quickly complete the path to the ninth tier. And as long as they were eighth-tier deities, they were considered ninth-tier. Over two hundred years had passed, so were creatures over two hundred years old considered fast? Average! Keep in mind that beings like Emperor Dongqing and Selfless Buddha had already broken through to the deity realm in forty to fifty years. Deities over two hundred years old, with so many super resources, could only be considered average! The presence of thousands of deities was truly not that exaggerated.

As for geniuses like Emperor Dongqing and Selfless Buddha, they were not in a hurry to break through to the ninth tier, letting their confidants go first. They felt they still had potential and were refining their perfect foundational realms. So, now these few eighth-tier deities were leading a group of ninth-tier beings.

Suddenly, a voice came from nearby.

"Apologies, a few individuals from our camp market betrayed us and intended to target you. Their specific faces are those we just saw."

"Oh, I see... Thanks for the heads-up."

Caroline looked at the over nine thousand ninth-tier cultivators behind her and said sternly, "According to the previous plan, you will disperse or form your own alliances. You come from seven major domains and will divide into seven large alliances. Is that clear?"

"We'll explore separately? No problem." Emperor Dongqing said this. He had initially planned to take the over one thousand deities of the Dongqing Divine Dynasty on a tour outside.

"Heh, don't let me run into you," Selfless Buddha, the handsome bald youth whose head shone like an egg, emitted a golden radiance no less intense than the diamonds. "Otherwise, it's time to settle our scores. You've always been quick with your tongue!"

"Everyone, let's go to the other side." The Demon Dragon of the Abyssal Domain turned around, too lazy to bother with the two who squabbled every time they met. His main goal now was to educate his son. Although his son was young, as the son of a demon dragon, he showed sufficient ferocity, constantly beating and bullying his younger brother every few days, always making him cry. This pleased the father greatly. However, what was the meaning of him making a cross gesture with both hands while fighting, symbolizing justice and 'eliminating you, little monster'? He was somewhat worried. A child's mind at a young age is easily influenced and needs correction. The Lord of the Demon Dragons thought this as he departed with over a thousand ninth-tier beings.

Meanwhile, the fierce, horned man outside was stunned, watching these individuals disperse.

"Didn't you hear what I said? You're still splitting into teams?"

"It's fine. If they die, they die. It just means their strength wasn't enough, that's all." Caroline turned around and, with Di Qi, walked deeper into the maze.

The man was utterly dumbfounded, watching the two casually walk away.

"They die, they die?" Those were cultivators who had attained the Dao! They were magnificent beings who had transcended the laws of the universe! A high-level civilization might not even produce a single super-life form, one who had completed the long ninth-tier path, in tens of thousands of years! To say "they die, they die" so casually – no civilization would dare utter such an exaggerated statement!

His eyes widened in disbelief, his face filled with incredulity. Could it be that ninth-tier beings of this civilization were extremely easy to produce, like deities? So their deaths were of no consequence? These over nine thousand ninth-tier beings were juniors who had emerged in less than three hundred years... It couldn't be true, could it?

His face revealed an expression of extreme shock. If this were true, it would undoubtedly be a heaven-defying bloodline. The potential and future of this civilization would definitely be no weaker than that of the Abyssal Blue Divine Domain...

"Things are changing." He couldn't help but contact his superiors again.

Caroline and Di Qi walked a short distance, quite calmly. "Our arrival will likely attract some covetousness."

"Isn't that what you hoped for?"

Di Qi's demeanor was calm as he shook his head. "Otherwise, why would we make such a big show of it? Anyway, they won't actually die. They'll just be watching their own battles from a TV screen... What a strange civilization, truly inheriting the essence of certain individuals."

Caroline smiled.

They were here for training, sacrificial pawns left behind. The Abyssal Blue Divine Domain's philosophy was: Incense Deities fear no death, making them the best method for exploring such ancient ruins. Even modern battlefields have "landmines" laid to draw out enemies, and decades later, many still step on and detonate them. How could these ancient ruins not have protective measures? In simple terms, they were currently using a human-meat mine-clearing method, which is why they immediately began stockpiling ancient ruins on a large scale. The Abyssal Blue Divine Domain civilization, stable for hundreds of thousands of years, experienced a super-fast explosive development. The Incense system allowed them to convert their accumulated resources into strength, increasing their combat power by over five times. Now, they were using this system to explore ancient ruins and achieve even greater explosive development... This entire civilization was like this, constantly iterating and updating... Now, their quantum combat bodies, cloned and borrowed from neighbors, also feared no death and naturally chose to follow.

Caroline laughed. "Over a thousand Super Saiyans combining to become a Super Saiyan God, by their calculations, already represents 0.3 energy level of a regular ninth-tier being... At the same level, it just depends on their bloodline, cultivation methods, and combat skills."

Di Qi paid no mind, simply looking ahead and saying faintly, "The two of us are much weaker than a Super Saiyan God... They can fuse, but we cannot. According to their classification, a complete foundational ninth-tier being with a two-meter body is 1 standard unit. So, our ant-sized ninth-tier energy unit is only 0.005 standard units. Even a regular ninth-tier being with an incomplete path is tens of times stronger than us."

"Given our current size, what are you still dreaming of? Isn't this quite normal?"

Caroline said speechlessly, "Your cloned quantum combat body only possesses sixty percent of your main body's normal combat power. But this is because your main body's normal state is around 0.07, so the difference with the quantum clone isn't huge. However, your main body can transform, enlarge its size, and after transformation, it can reach an energy level between 3 and 4. Our quantum clones, however, cannot transform."

"I see..."

Di Qi smiled. "Our Nine Revolutions Mysterious Art, after transformation, boosts combat power by hundreds or even thousands of times. Isn't that like your legendary Super Saiyan form?"

Caroline's face darkened. Di Qi was teasing her with those strange legends from the Saiyan planet.

"So, what are you going to do?"

Caroline chuckled, then smiled. "Anyway, I don't plan on fighting. The opponent won't be able to hit me. Although it's a low-quality quantum clone, it possesses quantum properties that a flesh-and-blood body doesn't... If I use the 'Carefree Wanderer' technique, the opponent simply won't be able to touch me, which is perfect for exploring ancient ruins."

"Why not fight? With an energy level difference of over a hundred times, an ant fighting a giant... Can I, the Emperor, not fight then?" Di Qi said nonchalantly. "Coming here is a good opportunity to test the Grand Luo Scripture in an extreme environment, with my combat power self-restricted, to achieve victory as the weaker party against such a vast energy disparity."

Caroline merely smiled.

Her goal in bringing Di Qi was precisely this.

To make him fight!

A free super enforcer.

After all, her own spiritual universe and inner space, two major systems, were gone; only her entire clan's bloodline was still usable, and it had collapsed too thoroughly.

As for Di Qi's combat body, it only lacked the Nine Revolutions Mysterious Art, making it much stronger than her clone combat body.

Moreover, if the main body did not intervene, Di Qi's learning ability, in such an extreme environment, was highly suited for overcoming stronger opponents, finding weaknesses in their cultivation methods, and defeating them...

"Then you'll be responsible for fighting, and I'll be responsible for exploring... As a member of the Demon Core race with incredibly strong computational abilities, I won't miss anything here," Caroline said, smiling with a scientist's demeanor. "We can just split the rewards we get."
