Chapter 1053: Renimansga, Dies Peacefully... (Two-in-One)

Xu Zhi eagerly awaited the day he would fully master the Zerg, capable of modifying their core bloodline. This would signify reaching a true pinnacle, a moment of power where he could decide the life and death of this ancient race. The Zerg's innate bloodline possessed three main functions: "Genesis," "Protective Shield," and "Bloodline Hidden Gate." He could further evolve and refine these bloodlines. After all, evolving other transcendent bloodlines was far less exciting than developing his own core racial bloodline.

Taking a deep breath, Xu Zhi murmured, "But I don't possess that kind of power right now... For me to evolve them, it would be good enough if they didn't regress... Tenth-tier! At the very least, it must be Tenth-tier, right?" Anyone else hearing "at least Tenth-tier" would think he was showing off. What was the Tenth-tier? It was the ultimate existence in the universe, the end of the Great Dao, the final overlord of the entire cosmos. Standing at the culmination of the "Dao," their entire bloodline could be freely replaced, theoretically making them the strongest. What was ultimate? Reaching the end, with nowhere further to go—that was ultimate.

Yet, Xu Zhi vaguely felt this might not be the absolute strongest. Even if Tenth-tier was the strongest, the differences within the same level were vast, just like in previous realms. Reality wasn't a game; it didn't concern itself with balance. Powerful beings could easily defeat hundreds of opponents at the same tier. Just like ants and humans are both ordinary flesh-and-blood, carbon-based lifeforms, right? But due to factors like size, intelligence, and weaponry, humans could use an insecticide to eliminate tens of thousands of ants without a problem. "The next realm in the future... what kind of structure will it have... I still need to deduce it..."

Xu Zhi whispered softly, observing the fusion progress of his cells and flesh. It was somewhat fast! Currently, he was solely focused on accelerating the fusion, and he might break through completely in another one or two thousand years. "Perhaps I'll reach 100% of the weakest Ninth-tier at the same time as my good daughter..." Xu Zhi murmured, "But I can break through directly because my Dao foundation is already perfect. She, on the other hand, still needs to refine her bloodline and perfect her Dao foundation at the weakest Ninth-tier..." As for composite bloodlines? Xu Zhi didn't plan to mess around with them anymore. Now that these five genes—inner space, full-race cells, and quantum genes—were fully cultivated, switching and re-cultivating them would be idiotic. In any case, he was already the strongest at his current realm. While composite bloodline genes were powerful, their development was too slow. He intended to let these civilization sandboxes develop and mature on their own, reaching a complete system. By then, he might have already broken through to the Tenth-tier, capable of freely merging bloodlines, and then he could consider incorporating composite bloodlines. "I'll merge them at the Tenth-tier."

Xu Zhi sat by the window, looking at the courtyard, tapping his fingers on the table, and contemplating his cultivation strategy. "But new composite bloodlines definitely need to begin... She relies on six gene slots, so I'll have to rely on my own path..." "Also, in a little over a week, or a thousand years, Caroline and Emperor Qi should be almost ready, right? To regain their previous combat strength, sweep everything, and enter the weakest Tenth-tier!" "The Abyssal Blue Divine Realm, the Fallen Civilization... in just over a week, we'll see how they develop. I'm forcing them to make their move, to wage war against each other in high-dimensional spacetime, so I can explore the dynamics of the weakest Tenth-tier... And Three-Pillar God, you're going to frolic in the cracks between them, let's see if you get yourself killed..."

Xu Zhi's expression turned cold. He wasn't running a charity. The universe was a dark forest. Neither side should blame him for plotting against them. He had known for a long time that the Incense system helped the Abyssal Blue Divine Realm multiply its power several times over, and the emergence of Buddhism was the best opportunity to suppress the Fallen Civilization. With one rising and the other falling, the Abyssal Blue Divine Realm would definitely not miss the chance. They would surely break the peace, completely ignite the long-standing situation that had brewed for tens of thousands of years, and engage in a decisive battle. "Fight, just fight... Let me see what level the legendary weakest Tenth-tier truly is, these terrifying beings whose power spans half a nebula... and what secrets lie behind the hidden Three Abyssal Blue Celestials and the Fallen Civilization!"

Xu Zhi chuckled softly, looking towards the Evolution Land in the courtyard. "These terrifying beings, who rule half a nebula, are incredibly cautious... Let me see what kind of combat power and secrets they truly possess."

In the Destroyer God Dimension's courtyard, lay the Spore Evolution Sandbox. The land was lush and green, and rivers flowed joyfully. At this point, everything was entering the First-tier era, and all First-tier beings had begun to multiply. For Nathera, life had become much better. These "players" finally learned restraint, conserving resources, and began to consider using the fewest spore resources and saving evolution attempts to evolve sufficiently qualified species. After all, the First-tier was fine for now, but what about later? Generations of Third-tier and Fourth-tier beings, rapidly interbreeding, progressing through hundreds or thousands of generations, would eventually grow fur, scales, or whatever they desired, evolving suitable bloodlines. The resources spent on this would be unbearable! Every attempt consumed vast amounts. Success was fine, but failure meant gaining nothing, with nowhere to even weep. Thus, a new discipline naturally emerged: how to effectively evolve transcendent species using the fewest iterations and the most economical methods! They began to truly study the discipline of evolution. Furthermore, each evolution was incredibly expensive, leading them to thoroughly prepare and be meticulously rigorous before attempting to invest resources into an evolution. As a result, Nathera felt much more relaxed; those guys finally understood restraint and stopped frantically demanding things from her.

At this time, Medula said earnestly, "Life evolution, huh? It seems this is an unprecedented transcendent discipline..." "Yes, unprecedented, because who could evolve species before?" Medusa chuckled softly, "For these powerful beings, it's a completely new, unknown field; everything has to be studied and learned from scratch... This area also emphasizes aptitude. For those lacking aptitude, the boundless knowledge it contains might only be superficially grasped, even after a lifetime of study." Indeed. Powerful individuals might have excellent cultivation and combat talents, but to truly research life evolution, they might not reach significant heights. This wasn't something achievable merely through effort, diligence, or research; it required not just hard work but also flashes of insight and genuine talent. "But we are Fallen Ones," Medula said, her beautiful eyes sparkling with earnestness and delight. "We have nothing to learn from, no means to progress. For us, learning new cosmic knowledge is unimaginable." This was a brand new discipline, only available to learn here, and it greatly enticed her. She felt her talent in this area wasn't bad, and with some effort, she might truly excel. "Yes, let's continue to evolve," Nathera smiled and said, "Our team can still afford a few evolutions for First-tier lifeforms. Hopefully, we can create some good creatures to defeat the others!" This scene was playing out in various other locations. Many teams were strategizing, and actual warfare began to become rare, as they were all spending vast resources, incurring huge losses with each attempt.

Inside the Mechanical Workshop, Miriel slowly opened his eyes. "We need to gather resources... I can feel this is an unprecedented opportunity, and we must seize it."

In the Main Battlefield Galaxy, wild and excited laughter permeated the entire mechanical Dao artifact. "Hahahahaha, it truly... it worked!" A black dragon, seated on a throne, suddenly stood up and burst into laughter. He was enveloped in black aura. Such an existence was incredibly powerful; the beings on a planet would have their souls shattered by his laughter. For an entity of this level, even a casual laugh could generate sound waves powerful enough to wipe out all life on an entire continent of a planet! "Congratulations, Your Majesty, Inspector No. 47!" "Congratulations, Your Majesty! You've perfected your bloodline. You'll likely break into the top forty very soon!" "Our bloodline's weaknesses and flaws have finally been improved... Anyone who tries to ambush our race with them in the future will surely fall flat on their face!" The black dragons surrounding him all knelt on one knee, showing immense respect. The being's voice was hearty and full of incredible joy. "Yes, I've deduced our bloodline within it, recreating billions of years of our race's ancient evolutionary history... I've evolved a species similar to ours, and even advanced it!" "Through this, I have completely understood our species... and can use this knowledge to modify my own bloodline and perfect my advanced bloodline!" As a real-world life form, although he lacked the ability to evolve naturally, he could stimulate his body's evolution through various nefarious life modifications. "Bloodline Stimulation Potion"—this was one of the valuable items in the exchange store. The Fallen Civilization naturally possessed various extremely evil and dangerous methods to forcibly evolve their bloodlines. However, one couldn't predict the direction of a bloodline modified or stimulated in this way. The success rate was extremely low, often leading to hidden injuries, irreversible losses, and even weakening or collapse of the bloodline.

But now, things were different. In that "game sandbox," he simulated his own species, using vast amounts of time to deduce and modify, studying the formation and evolution of his bloodline, observing the success and failure of various "potion" choices... thereby finding the most correct path. "This is just a simple utilization... But it's enough to prove that it's not virtual; it's a real grand cosmic game, a Great Dao game!" "It also proves that all the knowledge and data gained within can be validated in reality." The Inspector said, "However, the more this stimulation potion is used, the less effective it becomes... requiring larger doses. But we can still refine it a few more times... We must continue to deduce and evolve our racial bloodline... to achieve the most perfect results with our limited opportunities for stimulated evolution!" One should not underestimate these terrifying existences who transcend cosmic laws. They were too strong! Even if the "Court of Annihilation" offered no immediate benefits, stating that only a Ninth-tier Dao-achieving species could be brought into reality, how could they be so foolish as to simply wait for such an unrealistic future without gaining anything in the process? They themselves could create their own advantages from it! After all, the deductions within could provide them with sufficient knowledge, indirectly allowing them to implement various methods to strengthen their own power. "Continue to allocate resources," the Inspector said with an excited grin, "However, we must not expose our native species... because once it's revealed, the other side will surely know what race we are... We'll split into two groups: you'll evolve other species to serve as overt combat forces..." After all, they were only intimately familiar with their own race; if they evolved their native creatures, their identity would certainly be exposed. He planned to evolve his native species to a certain limit, until he developed complete resistance to the "evolution potion" and could no longer profit from it; only then would he formally participate in the sandbox's struggle. He wasn't foolish; securing the obtainable benefits first was the best approach. "This way, our race's bloodline will receive several version updates... and our descendants will inherit our new bloodline." The Inspector felt a touch of pride; this opportunity was immense!

But in the next second, the entire mechanical spaceship jolted violently. Space began to tremble, vibrating intensely, and strange roars faintly echoed. Through the window, an impossibly large golden vertical pupil peered inside, sharp and cold. "Boy, tell me, what good fortune have you acquired? Mylala, the so-called cunning and treacherous lizard, with your nature, to actually linger here and hold back..." "Luos??" A hint of fear flickered in the Inspector's eyes. "Sixth... you can't lay a hand on me! This is a time of war; this is an absolute red line that cannot be crossed." He watched the enormous mechanical octopus in the void, its tentacles slowly swaying, deep and dark, floating in empty space, and a hint of terror showed on his face. This pure power was so overwhelming it made him tremble. Among the more than a thousand inspectors, the differences were also vast. This one before him... this was the Sixth Inspector. The only one who, as a crippled ordinary Dao Achiever, had managed to squeeze into the top ten with the combat power of a perfect Dao Achiever, possessing terrifying strength comparable to Juxiao. An entity with an incomplete bloodline could actually fight against a Dao Achiever with a perfect Dao foundation; it was clearly incredibly defying! If not for its immense size, which led to extremely slow cultivation speed, forcing it to break through prematurely, it would never have become a member of the Fallen. "My... our Dao tokens will record all of this, sensing each other... You can't lay a hand on me," the Inspector said, gritting his teeth. "Don't go too far!" "You dare resist me? It seems the fortuitous encounter you've had is immense, granting you the courage to defy me, to risk contradicting me and even invoking higher authority to intimidate me?" The giant octopus's voice was slow, "Tell me... Otherwise, I'll kill you. At most, they'll just demand huge compensation and confine me for a few thousand years... No one will truly sanction me or demand my life for a dead person..." The Inspector's face turned completely pale. The other party was completely ruthless, willing to incur enormous losses to kill him. His scalp tingled. Now was a time of trouble. No one knew what future awaited the Fallen Civilization. Everyone had their own plans; although they resisted with full might, if the edifice collapsed, they were all quietly preparing escape routes for themselves. After all, the Abyssal Blue Divine Realm was indeed at its peak, with its power greatly enhanced by the Incense system, and it had also encountered Buddhism, which was specifically targeting them... One could say it was fate, constantly working against them. "I-I'll tell you..." the Inspector whispered.

*Whoosh!* "Good, you understand the situation." The mechanical octopus performed an unbelievable maneuver: its body, which was the size of a continent, rapidly compressed to just over seven meters tall, then it broke through the cockpit window and entered the interior. They felt an unprecedented, intense pressure. Suction, gravity, infinitely assailing them. It was as if not a living being stood before them, but a terrifyingly powerful colossal celestial body, a miniature black hole. "Indeed!" The Inspector's scalp tingled. "It compressed its energy-level body... It truly is a remnant from the ruins of the Cosmic Garden from back then! This being even sacrilegiously acquired the Master's bloodline!" The Cosmic Garden, mysteriously destroyed over a hundred thousand years ago. According to investigations, the legendary Renimansga, a terrifying monster the size of a star, was a weak Tenth-tier civilization, no less formidable than the Abyssal Blue Divine Realm or the Fallen Civilization. At that time, both civilizations had passed through those ruins and were astonished by the ancient civilization's former prosperity and power. They naturally learned that the Bird Octopus race, the largest carbon-based life form discovered to date, was once a small pet there. "So it's true, no wonder its combat power is so exaggerated." This Inspector took a deep breath, naturally aware of how powerful this energy level was. A body the size of a continent, combined with an iron-based bloodline that allowed self-compression, would result in a qualitative leap in combat power. Even if it couldn't compare to its Master, it could certainly crush most beings.

"Oh? This thing?" The mechanical octopus's expression was calm, a flicker of interest in its eyes as it looked at the game's entry point. "Yes, this is it," the Inspector said respectfully, explaining earnestly. Listening to the various explanations, the forbidden Sixth Inspector's eyes gradually brightened. "Such a fortuitous encounter exists in this world? I've always been incompatible; our cumbersome bodies make us incomplete life forms... Now, there's a possibility of perfection; this is simply an immense stroke of luck!" The Inspector next to him dared not utter a sound, merely explaining patiently and politely. However, seeing the other party in a very good mood, he couldn't help but ask what had happened to the Cosmic Garden over a hundred thousand years ago, as the being was a remnant of that race and might know the truth behind the historical ruins. "Oh? You're asking about the Cosmic Garden's ruins?" This powerful, forbidden being named Luos paused in silence, then simply replied blandly, "Everything was destroyed; that disturbance was too great... Renimansga died peacefully back then." With that, he entered the game.
