How could they not be excited? Before, there was only despair. There was no hope for any development; they could only muddle through, barely surviving. But now, as they considered it, transforming into semi-elemental beings was indeed the best way for their civilization to rise again. Excitement, elation, and anticipation ignited a drive fueled by a deep yearning! They were truly overwhelmed with emotion, more excited than they had ever been in their lives.

This was because if the elemental race could now integrate with the extraordinary bloodlines of flesh-and-blood beings, all the various genes they had stored for so many years could be incorporated, leading to a massive leap forward!

"Before, we thought we were abandoning the glory of our ancestors,""We... we are going to rise again!""Quickly, open our treasury!""Send the swift and capable ones to the nearby villages. Tell them to bring all their accumulated savings!""Yes!""Wait! And have those villages spread the word to more distant towns and settlements, layer by layer, telling them to bring all the remains of tomb raiders accumulated by their tribes over generations! Tell them our race has a new hope for resurgence! Our savior has arrived!""Yes, tell them to bring everything here! We need genes! We need powerful, extraordinary bloodlines!"The leader burst out laughing, tears streaming down his face as he choked with emotion. "That being is still setting up the teleportation array. We'll wait a moment, then give them a huge surprise!"

The surrounding survivors were also greatly encouraged and filled with confidence.

Whoosh.

The Guardian deity, who oversaw this tomb, now specially cleared a patch of land. In a stable spatial zone, a teleportation array was quickly established, connecting both sides.

Ji Yi, accompanied by Xu Zhi's former Moon God Ji attendant, Ji Ming, descended upon this land. They were exceptionally excited.

Ji Yi took a deep breath. "Back then, I was told to take the Moon God Ji's attendant and then disappeared until now. But at this moment, we are made to descend here?" Over a thousand years had passed since then. The attendant, who was nameless back then, she was given a name: Ji Ming.

The Mother River Civilization had also changed drastically. The Mother River had extended many branches, connecting to barren planets, collecting resources, and producing an endless stream of deities. Sun God Asa, Ji Shang, and the transmigrator Li Li were already high-level deities, having begun their long ascent on the path to the Ninth Rank. As for Ji Yi and Ji Ming, they had also received a fortunate opportunity and were now climbing the Ninth Rank path. After all, their bloodline system dictated that every two individuals would become cultivation partners, advancing together.

In reality, while reaching the high-level deity stage was relatively easy, the Ninth Rank path was a very slow and arduous refinement process. However, they had already developed unique immortal bloodlines. By burning their life force and intensely accelerating their cycles of slumber and awakening, their climbing speed was considered quite fast!

"We have developed to such an extent, yet Lord Moon God Ji still vanished without a trace... But now, they suddenly appeared and secretly sent us a message to come here. It's said that this is the origin place connected to the Moon God Ji's bloodline?" They cautiously stepped out of the teleportation array. "Lord Moon God Ji's bloodline is very mysterious; it's a semi-elemental being... The four elemental races, including Asa, and even you, Ji Ming, as a former attendant of Moon God Ji, all share this semi-elemental bloodline..."

They saw crystal palaces, some young semi-elemental beings, and some wondrous crystal elemental creatures, which were truly marvelous.

"Where is that esteemed being?"

Just then, the excited leader rushed over, looking at the two flesh-and-blood human girls who emerged from the teleportation array. "Lord Ji said they went to pick up the ancestors of our four elements, Lord Ji's descendants..." Ji Yi was perplexed. She couldn't believe that their own bloodline ancestors were hidden within their Mother River Civilization. She had never seen them and was extremely curious about what kind of beings they were.

"Lord Ji asked us to come here first to handle matters, understand the situation, and learn about the civilization," Ji Yi explained.

The leader, looking at the flesh-and-blood girl, secretly frowned slightly. This woman, named Ji Yi, was a pure flesh-and-blood being who had then integrated a semi-elemental bloodline. She could not be considered one of their pure kin. "So that's how it is? This bloodline is semi-elemental. Flesh-and-blood beings can integrate this bloodline, and we elemental beings can also integrate it..."

In reality, they had a very strong xenophobia; they strongly disliked the idea of flesh-and-blood beings integrating into their elemental bloodline. Before them, this girl had integrated their bloodline. They feared her flesh-and-blood body was her true form, and once she transformed, her massive elemental outer body would become an overwhelming, gigantic elemental life form. This was highly repellent. One's own bloodline should not be used by outsiders; this was common knowledge among civilizations in the universe. However, since it was Lord Moon God Ji's decision, they could not object. After all, as a new elemental civilization, perhaps they should discard some old notions.

"Oh, by the way, these are the bloodlines we've collected..." The leader, with a serious expression, presented various remains and flesh, smiling as he said, "With these, our race will become incredibly powerful upon its resurgence, establishing a strong foundation from the very beginning."

Ji Yi was shocked by the sheer number of remains of these enlightened beings. But upon hearing "bloodline," she frowned slightly. "Their cultivation realms are terrifyingly strong, but as for their bloodlines... although I haven't examined them closely, I feel they're just average."

"How can they be average? Look closely!" Young Al, standing nearby, immediately expressed his dissatisfaction. "Any being capable of breaching our civilization's ruins is not weak; they are powerful even across the entire universe."

"Your civilization's ruins, right? Could you tell me about them?" Ji Yi asked, still very curious about the history of Lord Moon God Ji's bloodline kin. The elemental leader immediately began to recount their history with full confidence, describing their power and their two heaven-defying characteristics. Although he spoke with great earnestness, the two listeners showed little excitement.

Al also stated confidently, "Although we have abandoned our two strongest heaven-defying bloodline characteristics, in the future, we will possess ordinary flesh-and-blood bodies and... However, by re-cultivating flesh-and-blood genes, we can still become very strong! In the future, we can rival our ancestors... These collected bloodlines are a good start."

"Hmm... elemental civilization, it's just average, I suppose." Ji Yi thought for a moment and then said very honestly, "I now understand Lord Moon God Ji's ancient history, her origins were like this... But I imagine, if not for a civilization-ending catastrophe and a desperate shortage of personnel, she wouldn't have remembered you when rebuilding the Mother River Civilization..."

"Our ancient glory? Just average?" Al was utterly stunned. "Could it be that the so-called Mother River Civilization, having developed, is already no less heaven-defying than us?" The information conveyed by these words was truly astonishing. They had initially thought they were starting over, still collecting genes. Who knew that the other party would directly tell them they were already unimaginably powerful, not inferior to their own ancient civilization?

"You mean you've collected three bloodlines that perfectly match our semi-elemental bloodline, forming four gene combinations?" The elemental leader asked in astonishment.

Ji Yi replied, "Not yet. Currently, our civilization only has two genes."

The other party became furious. "You're telling me a transcendent civilization formed by only two transcendent cultivation systems is stronger than ours?!" If they had claimed four gene combinations could rival them, it wouldn't have seemed too outlandish, but only two... How weak did they think them to be?

Ji Yi glanced at them. "Our race's semi-elemental bloodline gene, combined with another gene, which is immortality... And you think our semi-elemental gene is weak? The potential of this single gene alone is no less than the potential of your pure elemental genes."

"The Mother River Civilization could only be established by semi-elemental beings. Other pure flesh-and-blood beings or elemental beings simply cannot establish it."

Ji Ming murmured softly, "And the Mother River Civilization, with its Mother River Tree, possesses powerful immortality. Even if one perishes... they can revive at the source of the Mother River... Although it can't compare to your infinite energy, from an infinite perspective, I believe infinite resurrection is also no weaker than your abilities."

"Mother River Civilization?" They were slightly stunned. "Infinite resurrection, reviving at the Mother River's source?" They didn't understand at first, but after listening carefully, they realized that this semi-elemental being, despite being a flesh-and-blood life form, was indeed no less heaven-defying than their elemental civilization. The flesh-and-blood true body remained at the Mother River's source... while the elemental body, following the Mother River's branches, climbed into all the myriad worlds. If the elemental body was killed, it didn't matter. This was something their pure elemental beings truly could not achieve. The Mother River, combined with immortality, meant that if their true body remained at the Mother River's source, they could live forever...

"Such a civilization... such a civilization!!!" Al clenched his fists, completely bewildered and shaken. Indeed, just two flesh-and-blood genes, when perfectly combined, could rival them. "What if other genes were integrated then? What could they achieve?"

"Has a civilization with just two genes already developed to such an extent?" The elemental leader was deeply moved. "It seems making the new choice, becoming semi-elemental beings, is the most correct path. Quickly, see if there are any more powerful genes here... suitable for the remaining gene slots..." Ji Yi and Ji Ming were quite helpless given their intense enthusiasm.

However, just as the two were astonished, they watched Lord Moon God Ji descend through the teleportation array, holding a peculiar lamp in her hand. As the lamp unfolded, a creature emerged from within. The moment it appeared, an indescribable bloodline connection resonated, causing their hearts to tremble. Was this elemental divine bird, wreathed in flames, truly their ancestor?
