Nathera's face drained of color. An indescribably complex emotion overwhelmed her. The entire grand universe was the mother who nurtured them. The Creator God was "Dao Yi," also the "universe" itself, but now...

She looked at the hazy phantom before her, the ancient concept of "Dao Exhaustion" faintly emanating from countless intertwined laws. This lower civilization had yet to discover... But upon closer thought, it was entirely logical.

The Creator God descends when observed, gazed upon, or understood conceptually. It was only natural that another future Creator God would descend when observed now. This was an inevitable outcome! However, her past and future selves appearing in the same space-time was incredible. This was truly astonishing.

That evil god possessed a power so malevolent it approached primordial force. Every part of her body mastered different cosmic laws and Great Daos. Reintegrated, they formed chaos, "Dao Yi." Only she possessed the potential to simulate "Genesis," allowing her to see both past and future. The universe was truly wondrous. Nathera's mind suddenly became clear.

Suddenly, she felt as if she could die content after hearing the truth. Knowing this secret, dying at this moment would be enough.

The Destroyer God remained seated, ancient and weathered, a voice seemingly imbued with the collective deaths of all beings slowly emanating from him.

"We are two sides of the same coin... the latent will encompassing all material beings in the entire universe... yet in this flourishing era's space-time... we meet again..."

Nathera bowed her head.

"The world is collapsing... the universe is accelerating its return... The Annihilator, who does not belong to this space-time dimension, has descended from the future... I must fulfill my duty; this is the meaning of my existence. However, in this space-time, the power of life far surpasses that of death, and the power I wield is minuscule, less than a tenth of what I need to fully possess my authority. I cannot even remain fully awake... Two selves from different timelines cannot coexist... Would you be willing to become my proxy? You would wield a portion of the aging Creator God's omnipotence... acting as the so-called Destroyer God's agent, overseeing the birth and death of all species in the world..." The voice was ancient, carrying the silence of countless ages.

At these words, Nathera was utterly dumbfounded. She had considered many possibilities, but never this—such a terrifying opportunity? She was well aware of her own capabilities and combat strength.

"Why... why me...?" Nathera couldn't help but ask, "My aptitude isn't strong, my bloodline is too weak, its solidified form is useless... Clearly, Tenth Tier beings are the true 'Dao Exhaustion,' the closest to you... They created the laws of the universe; they are already a part of your body, because they are one of you..."

"All are equal... all are my children... there is no why..." The voice, a chaotic mix of all sentient beings' wills, seemed to echo with the cries and wails of countless lives marching towards death.

*Whoosh—*

Before the Destroyer God, who was seated in the dimensional courtyard, a small stool appeared below. In the sky of the dimensional courtyard, a pure white beam of light enveloped her, seemingly awaiting her final decision, waiting for her to sit on that small stool.

"I am willing."

Nathera had almost no hesitation. She stepped forward, her expression firm and calm, tinged with intense fervor, like the most devoted pilgrim. Every great enlightened one who transcends cosmic laws is the most devout pilgrim of the Great Dao, even if they have fallen, losing the chance to pursue the Great Dao. But who isn't like this?

And Nathera, having become a fallen enlightened one, had lost the chance to pursue the Great Dao and potentially achieve "Dao Exhaustion." But at this moment, everything felt incredible to her! Everything was closer to her dream than ever before!

The end of the Great Dao! The ultimate cosmic truth! The legendary... Dao Yi! Even ultimate Tenth-Tier beings didn't have an opportunity like hers.

*Whoosh... Swish!*

The Destroyer God's decaying, ancient aura still lingered. This dimensional courtyard was completely different from the one she had seen in her visions. Its walls were dilapidated, crumbling, and aged, and even the house behind it looked neglected and in disrepair. It was as if this dimensional courtyard had endured countless ages and was on the verge of collapsing after untold hardships.

One step! One step!

Finally, Nathera sat on the small stool at the courtyard's entrance, solemn and grave. The Destroyer God was silent for a moment, then smiled. "Though it is only a partial authority, one of the 'Dao's' secondary laws, the power of life and death, it is all that can be granted... Through this, you can become the Mother Emperor of a race."

"Yes!" She suppressed her excitement, carefully settling her enormous, swollen spider body onto the small stool below.

In an instant, a terrifying power descended, initiating an unimaginable transformation within her. She completely relaxed her mind, accepting the impact and surge of that power.

At this moment, Xu Zhi observed the scene. Converting an external Ninth-Tier being into an insectoid was still extremely difficult, requiring vast resources! Although her genetic bloodline appeared unchanged, it was actually forcing the growth of the insectoids' "sixth recessive gene" within her. This gradual transformation was only possible if the subject did not resist. After all, it wasn't the Three Pillar Gods' method of infection.

"For this, to convert an external Ninth-Tier being, I've really gone all out, consuming a large amount of resources... It's significantly depleted the resources I gained from the ancient elemental ruins," Xu Zhi mused, lowering his gaze. For him, having such resources meant he could cultivate multiple Ninth-Tier beings of equivalent power instead of converting just one.

"I hope it succeeds." Xu Zhi took a deep breath, quietly watching her transformation.

Nathera was now in immense pain, suffering as if a mysterious force was scouring every part of her bloodline—a torment more terrifying than death itself. Yet, she endured.

After an unknown period, she slowly opened her eyes, looking at the empty dimensional courtyard.

"The Destroyer God... He doesn't belong in this space-time; I fear he has been assimilated by the Creator God again..." Nathera took a deep breath, knowing that otherwise, she wouldn't have temporarily gained partial authority.

"Now, I feel a powerful force within me... a power closest to the universe's primordial laws..." She lowered her head, looking at the entire Creator's Dimensional Courtyard, this not-so-large plain. "I... I feel it... I possess... a portion of power like the Creator God's... to procreate species..."

She revealed a hint of disbelief, sitting on the small stool. "Yes, I possess... a portion of the universe's supreme authority to create life."

"I... can also perform localized... Genesis within this courtyard!!"
