Chapter 1049: Great Terror, Unimaginable Future Prospects

What was that being doing?

As Karls fought against the weak sea-creatures, he turned his head to look at the mysterious entity that seemed to exist in the ether. It was holding a pen, apparently recording something. Everything felt too mysterious, and Karls couldn't grasp its meaning.

Taking notes.

This was a new era.

Nathara was also feeling a little nervous at this moment.

She took a deep breath and sat down, muttering to herself, "This must be following some ethereal principle. I just need to imitate it... Even if I can't replicate the corresponding Great Dao laws and my posture is merely superficial, I still need to maintain the appearance..."

After all, there was no harm in doing so!

As a weak, ordinary ninth-tier being, she was still very flustered. She felt she didn't understand many principles and was afraid of being discovered by powerful entities, exposing herself as a joke or revealing a flaw.

The principle was simple.

She was an imposter.

To avoid being exposed by her daily actions, she simply had to imitate the movements and behaviors of a true entity, following suit exactly!

"Fortunately, I secretly observed their movements before, and even my posture is similar..." Nathara took another deep breath, eating a bright red round fruit, feeling the immense responsibility weighing on her as she sat in the chair.

At this time, Karls' group — a collection of ordinary, ant-sized tyrannosaur-like muscle-beings — were battling the sea-creatures in the ocean!

It looked incredibly fierce.

In reality, it was just ordinary creatures from both sides fighting a war, without any cultivation of supernatural power systems.

After all, everything was just beginning to emerge. Even if these life forms were potentially gifted, they hadn't had the chance to develop or cultivate their abilities; they were still undergoing rapid evolution.

Boom!

The ocean churned violently.

It was as if Godzilla were fighting a giant shark, with both sides leading their evolved races into battle, creating a sense of a vast disaster movie.

Evidently, the opposing Inspector team also sensed something was off. They took the "Garden of Annihilation" game very seriously, evolving species to counteract each other.

Karls, on the other side, was not to be outdone; he fought with fierce determination!

"Perhaps in other places, I couldn't defeat you..."

"But here, everyone was starting from scratch!"

"And I had the advantage of an early species head start, evolving for so much longer than you. How could I not defeat you?"

Both sides rapidly evolved, seeking to gain an advantage over each other.

A magnificent drama of evolution fully unfolded, with both sides hotly pursuing and countering each other.

"This is what's called natural selection, survival of the fittest!... Which of these Attainers isn't a ruthless individual? With strong possessiveness? Even though no details have been uncovered and everything is still shrouded in mist, they've already sensed the extraordinary nature of this place and want to monopolize this opportunity, to rule the world of this courtyard!"

Nathara lowered her head, intently observing the battles between the two sides and commenting, "For them, this is equivalent to contending for territorial rights over an ancient ruin civilization!"

The war quickly reached a conclusion.

Karls, relying on his first-mover advantage and mature species, completely annihilated the opposing evolved sea-creature race, utterly eradicating their species, which became a mere dust in history.

"Damn it!"

On the other side, inside a mechanical spaceship, a tall, dark-blue winged dragon-beast opened its eyes, revealing a hint of savagery. "What exactly is that place... We were completely wiped out just playing a game!"

"Who exactly is our opponent?"

"This game connects to various stellar ports across the entire universe. Are we facing competitors from an unknown dimensional enemy?"

"Could this be some inheritance, seeking successors in all directions through trials?"

"Quickly log back into the game! This time, we'll re-evolve, rise in secret, blend in with the ordinary creatures, develop for a period, and then attack them!"

"Leader, our mission is to patrol this region and hunt down those Buddhist sects..."

"Don't worry, hunting down the enemies can be put aside!"

The group re-entered, determined to avenge their previous humiliation.

As Inspectors, they stood above countless entities, dominating the life and death of endless beings, and it had been an unknown amount of time since they had suffered such humiliation.

However, upon their re-entry, their expressions instantly darkened:

*You can only revive three times. Once all attempts are used, you will be permanently unable to log in. Do you wish to revive for the second time?*

This message made them instantly cautious.

Nathara's approach was simple: there was no room for waste here!

Indeed, Attainers who could cultivate to such a degree were certainly intelligent and possessed high average qualities, but that didn't mean their knowledge of evolution in this regard was strong.

After all, every entity had its strengths and weaknesses.

If they couldn't cut it, if they lacked talent in this area, they would be directly eliminated... What she was looking for were research-oriented specialists, like the Alchemy Emperor or Akina Speed.

Simultaneously, Nathara initiated a wide-net casting policy.

"The Azure Blue Divine Realm is reportedly rushing over as well, already showing signs of its presence. I need to place a few ports there too..."

"And on some mortal planets, I can try deploying a few. There's no significant cost, so it's fine whether it succeeds or not..."

Her main strategy was to avoid concentrating efforts in one place; instead, she dispersed them everywhere.

Furthermore, these groups could even form a hidden force, lurking in various locations, perhaps to be used by her... who knows?

After all, she had inherited some authority from the God of Destruction. Although she hadn't received specific instructions, developing and growing stronger was undoubtedly the most important goal.

Soon, entities one after another logged into the game.

"Where is this?"

"What kind of game is this?"

"Evolution?"

Amidst killings and being killed, a chaotic free-for-all among various entities thoroughly commenced.

The sun shone brightly, casting a radiant glow.

Nathara sat on her stool, observing the scene in the courtyard and the peculiar small life forms, a smile playing on her lips.

"Ah, my place is different from the previous setup... Here, they are all Attainers! They're evolving their species and populations here. Moreover, this is not just a Creation Dimension Courtyard; it will also be a small supernatural world!"

In the previous Dimension Courtyard, it was almost impossible for supernatural high-tier creatures—third, fourth, or fifth tier—to appear. They were just ordinary creatures.

Why?

Because the life-flow here was too fast; a single life form would rapidly grow, reproduce, decline, and die at a visible pace!

And the "players" didn't role-play as a single creature, but rather as the "fortune" of a species.

They possessed the strongest leader of each generation within a species, controlling the evolution of generations of their kind. Only when their own species was completely wiped out would they exit and end the game.

Therefore, in the "Spore Evolution" sandbox, a single life form couldn't live long enough to cultivate... To this day, it still contained ordinary creatures, undergoing frantic iterative evolution, with generations replacing each other thousands, even tens of thousands of times.

For this reason, the players' dispositions didn't lead to trouble. Otherwise, those walking trees would have already developed supernatural civilizations, started cultivating... and chaos would have long ensued!

"But my place is different... I possess the ability of solidification, allowing creatures to reach high tiers from birth without needing cultivation." She smiled.

First tier, second tier... eighth tier, ninth tier!

This Dimension Courtyard would form a truly perfect small supernatural world, where creatures would be supernatural from birth, wildly evolving and constantly modifying their bloodlines!

A comparison would reveal the difference.

Ordinary life forms had very weak control over their abilities, and many conditions prevented them from evolving or developing due to their low cultivation realms!

But here?

Can supernatural life embryos—fourth, fifth tier, or even deities—as inherently sacred high-tier life forms, evolve species in comparison?

Mortals and deities.

There's simply no comparison!

"Yes, I've only grasped a portion of the Law of Life, so I can't proliferate true, pure 'spores' that can evolve into anything. No matter how I reproduce, it's hard to break free from my racial form's limitations... However, it's not without advantages. My solidification allows them to evolve at a high tier!"

Her expression softened. "The God of Creation, as an ethereal concept, never plays favorites, distributing ordinary species everywhere and making them start from scratch... But I'm different; I have selfish motives, I will cheat... I am the Destroyer God's agent, so don't blame me for using such dirty, deceptive methods to achieve my life evolution goals... allowing them to begin as seventh or eighth-tier embryo spider eggs for reproduction!"

She took a deep breath, a smile gracing her lips.

The Creation God's Dimension Courtyard was for the evolution of ordinary beings.

But her place would be for the evolution of higher deities; it would be a true supernatural dimensional world courtyard where beings could soar and burrow!

"However, solidification... it's too resource-intensive." She winced slightly, murmuring, "I need to find a way to drain the resources of these entities."

She was too poor.

The energy required for a seventh or eighth-tier spider egg was considerable!

What's more, what is the proliferation of life? It's succession, generation after generation. She needed to propagate trillions of them to potentially filter through countless deaths, achieving the survival of the fittest and giving rise to powerful supernatural life bloodlines.

This was simply a bottomless pit.

If not for this small size, it would have been utterly impossible to achieve!

"That's something to consider later. First, I'll use ordinary zero-tier life forms for reproduction, eliminate a batch, and let them get proficient before moving on." She took a deep breath.

In the Fallen Camp, inside the mechanical shop.

"This war has just erupted, and I hear the front lines have already clashed... I have a feeling it won't be long before they attack us weak ones in the rear." Midola said, her face clouded with worry as she sat in the shop.

Xu Zhi, however, remained quite composed.

It seemed Nathara had finally realized the immense utility of her solidification ability in spore evolution!

The supernatural bloodlines evolving from zero-tier juvenile life forms had limitations... and there was no way to change that because, under that creation-speed, death came too quickly, leaving no time for cultivation, thus forever confining them to low tiers.

Yet Nathara could alter this flaw!

"The universe is truly vast and wondrous... Seemingly useless bloodlines often have immense applications." Xu Zhi's heart stirred slightly. "Solidification, for me, is absolutely a heaven-defying divine ability... To encounter this particular bloodline among countless others is a stroke of luck I can barely imagine."

Therefore, Xu Zhi had immediately set his sights on this large spider.

What others saw as a negligible bloodline talent was, to him, infinitely more powerful than iron-based or elemental bloodlines.

A rustle.

Just then, Venus, the dog-headed beauty from outside, suddenly walked into the shop. "I found a strange mechanical box, it seems to be some kind of port," she announced.

"Oh? You found something like that? It must have been dropped by some entity. Anyway, it's boring in the shop, let's try it." Nathara feigned surprise, though an imperceptible smile played at the corner of her lips.

Naturally, she had deliberately placed this mechanical box's game port there for her own people to find.

"A game? I've never played one before, I'm quite interested." Shi Ji said, sounding pleased and eager to try.

"Shall we give it a try?" Midola set aside her worries and looked around, saying with a smile, "Anyway, there's nothing to do, so it'd be a nice way to pass the time."

"Yes, indeed," Nathara echoed. "It's good to balance work and rest. You should all try it together."

Medusa paused, then didn't decline the offer.

"It's also time to bring my own people in... In the current situation, this middle batch won't arouse suspicion." Nathara chuckled to herself, secretly observing her surroundings. "Midola, Venus... they are good companions of mine. After they enter the Garden of Annihilation, I'll find a way to give them special assistance..."

She certainly wouldn't mistreat her own people!

Moreover, Midola and Venus were both excellent assistants in her real identity. She wouldn't abandon this team or her real-world persona!

"And this terrifying evil goddess, Shi Ji... as well as the utterly mysterious Lenimansia."

Her gaze subtly lingered on them. They thought they were well-hidden, but she had long since discovered these forbidden titans in disguise. "It's my first time bringing in weak tenth-tier beings, such powerful existences... I'm a bit nervous... especially since they already understand the God of Creation..."

She felt a moment of hesitation.

But she quickly firmed her resolve; in her view, it was imperative!

These three entities were far stronger than the Inspectors. Once they entered, they would evolve various species for her, and with their insight, they could potentially create immeasurable value for her.

"They'll certainly be surprised... Others, upon entering, would assume it's a tenth-tier entity, but with their insight, knowing the God of Creation, they'll surely realize it's connected to the God of Destruction..." Nathara quickly regained her smile, whispering to herself, "The moment they see it, even these forbidden entities powerful enough to easily crush me will be unable to suppress their shock, won't they? The God of Destruction, brought about because of me..."

"Nathara sister, what's wrong?" Shi Ji asked.

"N-nothing at all," Nathara replied.

Nathara quickly put on a casual expression, smiling sweetly and gently. "Let's quickly go in and see. It's been a long time since I played a game with everyone."
