The Court of Annihilation.

Inside the circular stone house, Crab King Castle, beneath the sea. Reinimansga still stood quietly to the side. Meanwhile, Shiji, Medusa, and others were engaged in serious discussion.

Medusa, surprisingly, held no reservations. She felt no disgust, filth, evil, or regret over torturing these enlightened beings to death. Instead, she was enthusiastically discussing with them how to better evolve the "Mobius Strip" to disgust and torment them, thereby generating resentment.

"This is truly brilliant! Who came up with this food chain? It's the work of a genius!" At this moment, Medusa continued to exclaim loudly, "It's a perfect combination of elements for creating 'death essence,' leading them to death through intense torture, filling their bodies and souls with unadulterated despair, terror, and resentment... It's an incredibly simple yet perfect method!"

The players nearby took a deep breath. This one was indeed a ruthless individual, likely able to converse joyfully with the player who used to "play with feces" back in the day. And of course, perhaps they were too low-level, bound by traditional concepts. The captured enlightened beings quickly adapted, showing that even the most horrific torture couldn't torment their spirits.

"It's us who put too much emphasis on it; we are just ordinary mortals who haven't lived long enough," they silently reflected. If they had lived longer, their moral and ethical views would likely have become indifferent.

Nasserah, Medula, and Vina, however, were excitedly observing from the shadows.

"Weak Tenth-tier! It's a terrifying high-dimensional world, no less, perhaps even surpassing, our Fallen Civilization. We might be able to get closer!"

"Indeed, I wonder if this being is looking for a stepmother? I think that little girl Shiji is very cute; I need to go build a good relationship!"

"Yes, we've always kept ourselves pure, forming a team by relying on ourselves rather than attaching to the strong... But now, it's not about status; from the beginning, I found him very charismatic. I think I'm falling in love with him."

Watching the two discuss, Nasserah's expression was slightly peculiar. Only she knew the truth. That being was a colossal iron-based lifeform comparable to a planet, not even in the same magnitude. If they wanted to be a stepmother, weren't they just courting death? Could their bodies even withstand that?

After a while, the players' expressions suddenly changed. They looked at Reinimansga with complete admiration, having clearly understood something.

Although Xu Zhi stood there with a calm expression, he was secretly observing. At this moment, he silently breathed a sigh of relief. "Fortunately, the world's background concept is already deeply ingrained... They combined clues from both sides and found an explanation that perfectly reconciled both!"

He suddenly felt a sense of relief. His clues about the Cosmic Garden were false, while their clues about the Cosmic Garden were true. But by combining them and finding an intermediate result, history could be perfectly completed without the worldview collapsing. He felt completely at ease now.

"However, the true reason for the destruction of the Cosmic Garden, as revealed by the Three Heavenly Venerates, was also a huge surprise," Xu Zhi's eyes sparkled. He had never imagined that Reinimansga, the Cosmic Garden, was destroyed because it was directly killed by a descending existence upon breaking through to the Tenth-tier. This truth was beyond his expectations. But now that he thought about it, it was only natural. If you break through to the Tenth-tier, wouldn't other Tenth-tier beings come to kill you? To seize your Dao Seed bloodline? This was a very cruel and logical inevitable cosmic order!

"It seems the path to the Tenth-tier is even harder than imagined... These Three Abyssal Blue Heavenly Venerates, even if they can withstand the siege of a Ninth-tier Fallen Civilization, can they withstand the advent of a Tenth-tier existence?" Xu Zhi shook his head, feeling that their future was also a dead end. Perhaps with some development, they could achieve it, but upon just breaking through, they wouldn't be given any time. How could they resist? How could they escape? To say you want to fight beyond your tier is simply ridiculous. Which being capable of breaking through to the Tenth-tier isn't a peerlessly monstrous, ultimate powerhouse, the strongest since the birth of the universe? It's too difficult.

Xu Zhi's eyes held a heavy gaze. "The Three Abyssal Blue Heavenly Venerates are indeed seasoned 'Weak Tenth-tiers.' Gaining knowledge from them was the right move. This knowledge is crucial to me. It seems I need to reorganize my plans and change the future development of the sandbox world."

Suddenly, Nasserah, Medula, and the others nearby changed expressions. "We need to leave. A large-scale enemy encounter has occurred in the south. We've finally encountered their..." Medula hesitated, then looked at Reinimansga, as the Buddhist Sect seemed to be known to the other side. "We've encountered the Buddhist Sect. The formal war has officially broken out." With the war fully erupted, those in their rear also needed to go offline to prepare defenses. Xu Zhi was slightly stunned but not surprised. "Has the true war between the two sides begun?"

Abyssal Blue Divine Domain.

In the place where time stood still, wisps of sacred light drifted around. Suddenly, the powerful, perfect enlightened beings, who had been sitting cross-legged, opened their eyes, slowly stood up, respectfully bowed towards the depths, and then directly departed. With a rush, one by one, the beings moved swiftly. This time-frozen region of the Abyssal Blue Abyss welcomed such an empty time zone for the first time in countless millennia.

Bhikkhu was conversing with the Three Abyssal Blue Heavenly Venerates in the depths. Seeing this scene, he felt it was magnificent. "Is the war truly about to begin?"

One Abyssal Blue Heavenly Venerate chuckled: "No need to be nervous. We can continue our discussion. It's not yet our time to act, and we might not even need to... We'll only make a move if the true mastermind behind the other side takes action."

Another Abyssal Blue Heavenly Venerate added, "Indeed, the hidden existence behind the Fallen Civilization is too mysterious. Although they don't have an immortal bloodline like ours, and their leaders supposedly change every hundred thousand years, we've never met them. Yet, they still exert immense pressure on us, understanding our weaknesses perfectly."

The last Heavenly Venerate smiled, "Previously, our strength was far inferior to theirs; we had no chance to force them out... But now, thanks to your 'Incense Magic Girl' system, the sustained combat power of our strong cultivators has greatly increased, and they've also encountered the Buddhist Sect. It seems... it's time to see their true face."

Bhikkhu nodded. The Fallen Civilization was uncommonly ruthless. But it was also to be expected. While the Three Heavenly Venerates were powerful, two fists couldn't contend with four hands. The opponent's over a thousand patrol envoys, each capable of unleashing Ninth-tier combat power with a perfect Dao foundation, could collectively turn them into sieves with a single coordinated attack.

"Then let's continue chatting..." Bhikkhu felt somewhat bored. In truth, she had already asked everything she wanted to know, as Akina Mountain's Speed had already deduced what was needed based on the information they provided. But she couldn't betray the Three Heavenly Venerates' goodwill. Their willingness to discuss with her and reveal core secrets showed great sincerity and respect.

"Oh, right," Bhikkhu suddenly asked, "have you ever considered that Reinimansga might not have died?"

"Not dead? How could that be?" One Heavenly Venerate shook his head. "We observed its complete demise... Unless, are you saying..." This Heavenly Venerate slowly reacted, understanding what was being implied with their intelligence. "Are you saying that the Cosmic Garden from back then faked its death to escape?"

"How could that be? Faking death would mean a Tenth-tier being fell in its place... which would imply prior preparation, perhaps even deliberately luring that Tenth-tier existence to descend? To test its capabilities?" Another Heavenly Venerate's expression suddenly turned serious, feeling that such a speculation was leaning too much towards conspiracy theories.

"But, if it truly faked its death..." One Heavenly Venerate tried to consider this possibility, then suddenly shivered, looking at the inexplicably distant sky. "Faked death! No wonder, it was you..."

"Fallen Civilization, so it was you all along, lurking behind the scenes for hundreds of thousands of years, faking your death to escape, entangling with us, constantly plotting, even trying to step on our Abyssal Blue Divine Domain to ascend once more and challenge that supreme existence!"
