Chapter 1077: Perfect Logic Chain

Yes, he continued, to reveal the origin of the Celestial Emperor!

Even though Akina Mountain Speed found the true cosmic structure and the Dark Forest Law terrifying, with their bloody massacres and cold worlds, he knew they couldn't perpetually live in a dream, sheltered by the ultra-ancient gods. They, too, needed to step up, bear the pressure, and share the burden. In the future, every advancement in realm would mean becoming a creature of another dimension, which was truly frightening.

At this point, many players were still pessimistic and deeply moved.

"Renimansga and Mister Dark—their story reminded me of the tragic history of the Universe Garden's destruction over a hundred thousand years ago, a destined, glorious tragedy. It was the same for them. The anthem of humanity is the anthem of courage; the greatness of humanity is the greatness of courage. Mister Dark's sacrifice and Renimansga's arduous journey both chronicled the greatness of their civilization!""Weren't Renimansga and Mister Dark another version of the ultra-ancient gods and Hermes?""Indeed, our two ancient ancestors, the Buddhist and Taoist founders, must have been just as heroic and tragic as the two in the Universe Garden. It must have been an unimaginably intense, mythical tragedy back then."

Everyone was filled with emotion, a bitter feeling that was hard to imagine. Listening to everyone, Akina Mountain Speed didn't rush to speak. After all, the truth was too complex and dark, evoking deep emotions. Only after they had time to compose themselves did he begin:

"Everyone, Renimansga mentioned before that the destruction of the Universe Garden was related to the birth of the Celestial Emperor... At the time, we found it perplexing. The annihilation of a weak Tenth-Order civilization seemed completely unrelated to the birth of a Tenth-Order offspring. But what about now? What do you think?"

Silence fell upon everyone.

A jolt went through them, like an electric shock, as a thought flashed across their minds: Could it be that the Celestial Emperor was Mister Dark's offspring? Was that a possibility?

They thought it over carefully and realized it aligned perfectly.

Akina Mountain Speed offered a more detailed hypothesis: "You must understand, the more powerful a being is, the lower their fertility rate, and the more unimaginable the cost and prolonged the weakening period involved in reproduction..."

"This is why the Three Abyssal Blue Heavenly Venerates, the ultra-ancient gods, Moon God Ji, and others have no direct biological offspring. They typically adopt prodigies from later generations of their clan to raise."

Everyone nodded. For instance, Moon God Ji raising Dao Lords and elemental beings involved later generations. Similarly, the ultra-ancient gods raising ancient humans, the Three Pillar Gods, and Caroline also spanned countless generations. This was quite evident. Reproduction meant a period of weakness, during which other beings of the same rank could kill them without any ability to resist.

Akina Mountain Speed: "So, think about it: how could a Tenth-Order ultimate being possibly have offspring? Weren't they afraid of other beings killing them? It's practically impossible for Tenth-Order offspring to be born! Yet, one was born. Therefore, there's only one possibility: this Tenth-Order being knew they were going to die!"

At this point, who didn't understand? It was likely that Mister Dark knew he would certainly die upon achieving his breakthrough, so he had offspring beforehand. After all, rather than waiting for death, it was better to create some value before dying. This was the optimal and most logical method at the time; anyone intelligent would undoubtedly have offspring in advance under such circumstances.

Akina Mountain Speed: "This is only natural. Consider all the weak Tenth-Order beings we've seen so far – who among them has reproduced? Only Renimansga, and he had been in a state of suspended animation, playing dead, for so long. It's highly probable that he had prepared a complete backup plan, which then led to the appearance of Little Shiji... This makes perfect sense!"

Upon hearing this, everyone agreed it was indeed very logical. Both parties having offspring at the same time perfectly aligned the facts!

The players were both baffled and excited as they discussed this:

"So, the Celestial Emperor is Mister Dark's descendant? A force from the Universe Garden side, how did he suddenly end up with the ultra-ancient gods? (Confused)""Renimansga was in suspended animation and couldn't raise him, so he was 'borrowed' by the ultra-ancient gods?""Very possible! After all, he just woke up from suspended animation; it's perfectly normal to entrust the child to others for upbringing... Though the ultra-ancient gods probably have a 'borrow and never return' policy.""But didn't Renimansga know? He did! But given the circumstances, there was no choice. He had to feign death and enter suspended animation, so he couldn't raise the child."

Everyone offered their speculations, finding it highly plausible.

"Wait, if you ask me, aren't the ultra-ancient gods professional 'old kings next door'? First, they steal Moon God Ji's offspring, then they steal the Universe Garden's offspring (dog head emoji).""Holy crap, now that you mention it, they really are professionals! (Excited)""Gathering all talents under heaven into my New Oriental Buddhist sect!"

Everyone suddenly grew excited, feeling that the ultra-ancient gods truly deserved to be called the patriarchs of 'Buddhism.' Their approach of 'this child is fated with my Buddhist sect; he should join it' was remarkably skillful! Akina Mountain Speed felt a sense of relief watching their discussion reach this point. It seemed they weren't entirely clueless. They could still grasp the basic logic and history without him having to explain everything.

Akina Mountain Speed: "Of course, there's a high probability, but it's not necessarily Mister Dark's offspring. After all, as I said before, many Tenth-Order ultimate beings have perished!"

Everyone nodded, collecting their thoughts, feeling a flood of emotions. Suddenly, the path to Ninth and Tenth Order became much clearer. This whole venture was a massive gain. All the illogical, dark ancient history of the Universe Garden — the truth had now fully surfaced before their eyes. At this moment, they felt a sudden, exhilarating sense of satisfaction. It was like completing a puzzle game, or watching a mystery drama suddenly reveal a major plot twist, providing an immensely satisfying thrill.

Cute Girl said: "So, the historical truth has reached this point. And the Three Abyssal Blue Heavenly Venerates were completely unaware of Renimansga's feigned death and escape... The Tenth-Order aura they observed might have been Mister Dark's aura..."

Alchemy Emperor: "Exactly! After all, they've never seen the real Renimansga. With that aura disguised and left in various places... it perfectly deceived both the enemies and those exploring the ruins! A complete escape!"

Grand Dao Piano: "That move was truly brilliant."

Akina Mountain Speed: "The main goal was to see the enemy's true face, to know how many genes they possessed—one, two, or five?"

"After all, the difference in genes is enormous! Gene slots aren't just a simple one-plus-one power increase. Look at the Seventh-Order Heavenly Emperor, Eighth-Order God, and Ninth-Order Daoist realms—you'll understand the significance of each additional gene at every stage. It's easy to imagine that the Tenth Order's span is incredibly vast and terrifying! In fact, the combat power across these five bloodline realms might be comparable to the entire range from Fourth to Ninth Order bloodline realms!"

Everyone got goosebumps. The gap in combat power among Tenth-Order ultimate beings was truly immense, as vast as the sea. Perhaps a Tenth-Order ultimate with five perfect Grand Dao genes could defeat ten thousand Tenth-Order beings with one gene? If that were true, assessing the enemy's combat power would be crucial. If the Tenth-Order ultimate ruling this star cluster was too powerful, there would be no chance at all! But if they only had one or two Grand Dao genes, they could figure out a way to take them down!

Akina Mountain Speed delivered his final summary: "So, everything makes complete sense now. As Renimansga said: 'One must always have pursuits, mustn't one? This counts as a test, an attempt, even if the cost is immense.'"
