Beings of this caliber, Lower Tenth-Tiers, are highly experienced and knowledgeable, having witnessed unimaginable myriad worlds, transcendent ruins, and mythical bloodlines throughout their long existence.

However, the God of Destruction's dimensional courtyard—the origin of species, evolving endless bloodlines and transcending the very roots of cosmic life—must be an equally unimaginable sight for them!

"Even beings as powerful as these reclusive figures would be stunned, wouldn't they?"

Although she thought this, she continued to teach the mechanical system to Shiji and the terrifying evil god with unwavering strictness, just as before. Whenever they made a mistake, she would immediately reprimand them and demand correction, as if oblivious to their true identities.

Concealment.

They had to remain hidden.

"However, I can't start with them—or rather, I can't make Medora and the others the first batch of test subjects. It would raise too much suspicion, and I'm not confident enough. I need to try with other Lower Tenth-Tier beings first."

She mused inwardly, her eyes narrowing into crescent moons. "Conveniently, the logistics unit we're heading to consists of beings as weak as us."

Xu Zhi was still sitting on a chair, intently flipping through newspapers from past Fallen civilizations. He glanced at Neithera next door, then nonchalantly lowered his head and continued reading.

"It seems the God of Destruction's representative is quickly settling into her role and getting on track."

Swish.

They traveled and jumped through high-dimensional spacetime.

After a journey spanning several long months in high-dimensional spacetime—equivalent to tens of minutes in reality—they finally arrived at their target galaxy.

Ninth-Tier Dao Achievers converged here, on a barren, dark planet.

In the sky, mechanical flying cities floated.

Some were even tens of meters tall mechanical battle suits, or even palm-sized Dao artifacts like whips, longswords, and long hammers.

"So powerful!"

"So many Patrol Envoys!"

"You know, each Patrol Envoy possesses the combat power of a perfect Dao Achiever!"

"It's incredible! When will our team be like them? This is the first time we've left our station since joining, participating in a large gathering of this scale!"

Medora, Neithera, and the others arrived, stunned by the sight.

It was truly magnificent.

They felt like country folk entering a city, for they were indeed Ninth-Tier Dao Achievers from rural areas, self-taught, and seeing such a grand spectacle for the first time.

Countless beings formed a vast mechanical galaxy, fragmented and floating in the air.

Medora looked at young Shiji and carefully instructed, "Currently, there are three main types: mechanical spacecraft comparable to continental plates, mechanical battle suits only tens of meters tall, and mechanical Dao artifacts the size of a palm. These three are classifications by type, not power. All of them can achieve the combat power of a Patrol Envoy. However, the smaller the body, the more agile it is, following an assassin-like path. See that longsword? They typically store energy in subspace and compress it to neutron star level density."

A neutron star mechanical battle sword!

Shiji watched the scene, feeling a sense of familiarity; it was very cool.

Medora, however, grew exceptionally solemn, turning to Neithera beside her. "Sister, there are too many! We've seen most of the legendary Patrol Envoys, the beings on the list..."

What did this signify?

It signified something terrifying.

The gravity of the war was far greater than they had imagined; it was an all-out effort.

One must realize that even if the Buddhist faction's forces completely annihilated seven Patrol Envoys in one go, it would only be considered a minor achievement. There were over a thousand Patrol Envoys! That Buddhist Pillar God was simply not worth such an enormous mobilization, which was akin to using an anti-aircraft gun to swat a mosquito.

Dispatching merely two hundred Patrol Envoys would have been enough to achieve a crushing victory.

Now, more than half of the entire civilization's resources had been deployed.

"Indeed, things are far more serious than we thought."

Just then, a few Ninth-Tier teams, as seemingly weak as theirs, approached. The leader, a robust man, introduced himself, "Allow me to introduce myself. We are from the City of Miluo. My name is Karlz, and I'm here for the logistics team mission."

"Neithera," Neithera replied with a smile. "We're also in the logistics team."

"Then we'll be together for a while."

Karlz looked up at the sky and said, "We arrived a bit earlier, and various rumors are already circulating here. They say that while the Buddhist faction's combat strength isn't enough to threaten us in the slightest, they possess extreme restraint over our mechanical civilization. The Abyssal Blue God Domain might intervene, even becoming the fuse for our war!"

A fuse?

A weak Buddhist faction could be the fuse for a conflict between two colossal powers?

"The Abyssal Blue God Domain dares to start a war with us? Haven't they always been fleeing? Our number of Dao Achiever-level combatants is ten times theirs!" Medora exclaimed in surprise. "They're just a civilization that's barely over 500,000 years old."

Previously, the Abyssal Blue God Domain had always been in retreat, avoiding direct confrontation because the disparity in overall strength was simply too vast.

After all, the Abyssal Blue God Domain pursued individual cultivation, steadily building their strength step by step, while the technological side leveraged external objects, naturally expanding their power significantly.

It's important to note that since the establishment of the Fallen Alliance, over a million years had passed. They continuously expanded their territory, explored surrounding galaxies, broadened their domain, and discovered new civilizations and life forms. With this expansion, they had explored one-thousandth of the entire supercluster's area and had already discovered and eliminated over a dozen Lower Tenth-Tier civilizations.

Their Dao Seeds were then divided among the higher-ups.

However, it was said that none of those who obtained the Dao Seeds managed to break through; they simply died of old age.

The current rulers of the Fallen civilization, it was said, had changed hands through several generations. They were also Lower Tenth-Tier beings, but those who seized Dao Seeds were considered the weakest among them.

A civilization history spanning over a million years.

Although no one had truly taken that final step, constantly undergoing succession and death, they continued to operate, possessing unimaginable deep reserves. And yet, their opponent actually intended to counterattack?

Of course, over a million years was not the longest lifespan for a civilization.

The longest-lived civilization they had encountered, which did not reach the "End of the Dao" or enter the ultimate realm, still persisted for over three million years before its demise. Three million years was already the longest span among the ancient ruins they had discovered.

After all, the world was too vast; they themselves couldn't guarantee their continued existence, perhaps facing extinction in less than 1.5 million years.

"Undeniably, the Abyssal Blue God Domain is the most powerful Lower Tenth-Tier civilization we've ever encountered. Typical Lower Tenth-Tier civilizations last less than 100,000 years! They perish if they don't break through. This is the first civilization that surpassed the 100,000-year curse and reached over 500,000 years. When we first encountered them, they were already very powerful..."

Neithera softly said, "But for them to dare counterattack us, they might have gained significant confidence from that so-called Incense Civilization. Regardless, we must still be careful."

"Yes, we must be careful."

Karlz smiled, and leading the few people behind him, he gazed intently at the female Dao Achievers before them, speaking with great eagerness. "If the enemy is smart, their first target will definitely be us—the weaker ones responsible for logistics and support, with low combat power. We must cooperate to have any chance of survival."

"Indeed."

The other Dao Achievers beside him looked equally eager, their eyes dry as if they hadn't seen a woman in tens of thousands of years.

"They're trying to flirt even now?"

Xu Zhi, who had put down his newspaper some distance away, secretly muttered to himself about a giant spider, a dog-headed monster, and a jelly-like girl. "As expected, at the Dao Achiever level, they have already transcended the universe's great Dao and laws. Their dimensions are extremely high, having reached a state of universal harmony. It's impossible for a novice practitioner like me, who's been initiated for less than a year, to comprehend their views on women."

Xu Zhi didn't quite understand and couldn't be bothered to ponder it further.

Soon, they began to settle together, forming a designated area. Powerful Patrol Envoys then dispersed in all directions, commencing their search and investigation.

They began their work behind the lines, providing mechanical parts, replacing universal power reactors, and similar tasks.

Xu Zhi remained quite idle in the shop, still reading his newspaper.

He saw some Patrol Envoys enter the shop to customize, modify, and purchase parts before leaving again.

Xu Zhi frowned slightly at this sight. These were all incredibly powerful beings, beyond his current reach. The Three Pillar Gods were currently in hiding everywhere, and he feared they wouldn't last much longer.

During this period, Karlz from next door, and even some newly acquainted beings nearby, frequently came over to curry favor, making things quite lively.

But soon enough, after a period of dormancy, Neithera, like a patient spider, finally made her move, revealing her fangs.

Karlz, a green-skinned humanoid creature with wrinkled skin that looked like twisted cloth, walked along the streets of the entire administrative district.

He had just finished chatting with Neithera and the others and was returning to his station.

"I wonder how many years this war will last," Karlz said, taking a deep breath, a hint of longing flashing in his eyes. "Medora... I really like that Dao Achiever."

Beings of his caliber were generally not qualified to pursue female Dao Achievers.

However, there were exceptions; some female Dao Achievers believed in sincerity and true love, willing to live and strive together with them. He himself was also a believer in true love.

For instance, in this very moment, he felt he had fallen in love at first sight.

"After a hundred thousand years of long darkness, no one wants to be alone; everyone desires a companion," Karlz chuckled. "It's difficult, far too difficult."

Female Dao Achievers were scarce, but not to an extreme disproportion. The reason they couldn't find any now was that most of them had become dependents of powerful individuals, the Patrol Envoys.

"The few of us need to make an effort," Karlz said, looking at the members of the other teams beside him. "Their upright conduct is our opportunity. We must use love and our true sincerity to move them, to prove that we genuinely want to spend our lives with them."

As the group walked, they suddenly spotted a strange mechanical part on the ground.

Such a sight was common here; mechanical objects were everywhere.

Karlz picked it up and casually examined it. "It looks like some kind of game login portal, doesn't it?"

"I wonder what game it is?" someone nearby asked.

Although most of them originated from supernatural systems, here, mechanical devices, online games, and virtual worlds were common tools for the idle Fallen civilization members to pass the time.

"Hmm, let's take it back and have a look," they said, not paying it much mind. "It might have been dropped by some powerful being. Games from other civilizations are always worth looking forward to."

They quickly returned to their mechanical shop.

After completing some work and confirming there were no hidden dangers or crises, they attempted to log into the game.

Soon, the most common universal script for logging in appeared in their minds: "The Court of Nirvana: Born of the Void, Trailing Through Time."

Swish.

Everything before their eyes turned pitch black.

Karlz felt, as if in a trance, that he had transformed into a primordial cellular organism, drifting and slowly bobbing in a deep, dark ocean.

In an instant, he understood what was happening.

"A life evolution game? That's quite interesting. The evolution of life has countless possibilities, requiring immense computational power for virtual simulations. Some great power must be behind the creation of this game."

"However, life is full of miracles, with too many variables. What's before me can only be a simulation; it can't achieve true reality."

Yet, to him, this was still a formidable game. In an instant, he perceived endless possibilities and decided to try evolving.

"Hmm, it reminds me of the evolutionary history of our planet, the evolutionary patterns of our own race. I feel a bit nostalgic, so I'll follow our race's path," he said with a smile.

He continued to wander in the ocean, gradually feeling a sense of alarm. There was a taste of reality, even in the muscle forms, which surprisingly aligned somewhat with his own race.

"Strange, it's a bit too strange. For it to be this realistic, could it be that the Celestial Venerables accidentally left a portal here from their own simulated world histories?"

As he continued to evolve, his alarm grew.

It was simply too real; it had even begun to possess the bloodline power of his own race, giving him a terrifying sense of authenticity, as if continuing this evolution could genuinely create another member of his kind!

Finally, he emerged from the ocean, crawled ashore, and saw a mysterious being.

The being sat on a small stool by the courtyard gate, drinking tea and silently watching them. Enveloped in divine light, enduring through ancient ages, it murmured to itself, "Having created this epoch, where in the entire universe should it be placed?"
