Chapter 1079: War Begins, Seeking the Ultimate Dao!

The wisdom of the Three Heavenly Venerates was truly terrifying. She knew this, but what was happening now? How could they suddenly be enlightened by her words and even express gratitude? She felt utterly bewildered and dumbfounded. After all, she was genuinely there to inquire about Renimansga's death and the dark destruction event of the Cosmic Garden back then.

“So that’s how it is…” A Heavenly Venerate of the Abyssal Blue spoke, their voice heavy and slightly hoarse: “You came here, seemingly conversing about the ancient ruins of the Cosmic Garden, but in reality, you were hinting at the existence of an unknown ancient entity that has been feigning death and hiding within the Fallen Civilization for hundreds of thousands of years, accumulating power to confront that supreme Tenth-Tier Ultimate being.”

“I didn’t!” Bihchu thought. “What are you even imagining? So, what exactly do you mean?”

“This time, we are truly grateful,” another Abyssal Blue Heavenly Venerate said with a solemn voice. “Although we don’t know when the legacy of your Magical Girl Civilization began, or from what ancient era you obtained this information, your special visit to inform us before the great war... shows that you have truly integrated into our Abyssal Blue Divine Realm.”

“Fourth Heavenly Venerate, you are indeed worthy, as this concerns the very survival of our Abyssal Blue Divine Realm.”

“It’s merely my duty,” Bihchu replied with a composed and serious expression. “After all, the great war is imminent, and the true identity of the mastermind behind the Fallen Civilization is too astonishing. That’s why I came to warn you; you must be careful!”

“Indeed, we must be careful,” the Three Heavenly Venerates said, their expressions utterly grave. One of them spoke: “It seems, if it is that person... our chances of striking them down in one fell swoop are very low. We don’t know how many hidden strategies they possess, so we must plan for the long term.”

“Should we halt the offensive?” one Heavenly Venerate asked.

Another Heavenly Venerate shook their head: “There’s no need. Halting the offensive would only arouse suspicion. Besides, this is a rare opportunity to force the opponent to reveal their hand and expose their true strength.”

The Three Heavenly Venerates continued their discussion. Meanwhile, Bihchu, maintaining a steady smile on the surface, departed with a completely bewildered expression on the inside.

Boom! Outside, the war had fully erupted. Bihchu, utterly lost, quickly went to ask her boyfriend, Qiu Mingshan Cheshu, what all of this meant and what was truly happening, as she couldn't understand it at all.

In the decision-making group for the online game masters, Qiu Mingshan Cheshu listened and was also completely dumbfounded. Soon, he collected his thoughts.

“First, when they mentioned feigning death hundreds of thousands of years ago, they definitely weren’t referring to Renimansga, who fell more than a hundred thousand years ago. After all, Renimansga’s era spanned between a hundred thousand and three hundred thousand years ago...”

Balloonfish asked, “Then who is it? Is there someone else who feigned death and escaped?”

Qiu Mingshan Cheshu replied, “That’s my initial assessment. It seems some of these powerhouses are truly formidable; they might have adopted the same strategy as Renimansga! Because to break through, they must confront an unknowable ultimate being! Furthermore, based on my speculation, this ancient entity is not only an acquaintance of the Three Heavenly Venerates but also a member of the Abyssal Blue race!”

When he said this, everyone was astonished. The scope of that target was so broad, and the Three Heavenly Venerates hadn’t revealed any information. How did he guess it so quickly?

Qiu Mingshan Cheshu explained, “The reason is simple: hundreds of thousands of years ago—that’s a very long time, isn’t it? Most ordinary people would have long perished. Only the Three Abyssal Blue Heavenly Venerates, relying on their talent, have lived for over five hundred thousand years and established this flourishing transcendent civilization... And the other party? To be able to feign death and live for so long, they must possess an immortal bloodline. The probability of two different types of immortal bloodlines appearing simultaneously is very low, so the opponent should be from the Abyssal Blue race... Moreover, the Fallen Civilization has always been very knowledgeable about the Abyssal Blue Divine Realm, which is likely due to this mastermind.”

“So, they’re part of the same race, which is why they know the Abyssal Blue Divine Realm so well?” Everyone in the masters’ group found this analysis very logical, acknowledging Cheshu’s brilliance and confirming his role as their designated strategist.

Qiu Mingshan Cheshu added, “At the same time, this entity is likely not a peer or a junior. It’s highly probable that they are an elder, perhaps even a parent, of the Three Heavenly Venerates... After all, the Abyssal Blue Divine Realm has a history of over five hundred thousand years, while the Fallen Civilization’s history spans just over a million years!”

Everyone began to get goosebumps upon hearing this. They found it a bit eerie—this was truly a conspiracy theory! Did it mean that the Fallen Civilization was established by the ancestors of the Abyssal Blue Divine Realm from the very beginning?

So, the Fallen Civilization’s public claim that its leaders change and fall every hundred thousand years was all false? Was there a true dark manipulator behind the scenes who had lived for over a million years?

“That’s terrifying.”

“Oh my god! The Fallen Civilization was also founded by the ancestors of the Abyssal Blue Divine Realm?”

“But it feels very plausible! Why? Because, setting aside our own hidden presence, this generational region of the 4th Star Cluster Galaxy is the territory of these two hegemonic super-civilizations, cultivated for hundreds of thousands of years... It’s perfectly normal to suggest that these two powers were actually established by a single entity.”

Indeed, this was very normal. Why? Because a powerful civilization must possess a powerful bloodline. The bloodline of the Abyssal Blue race was simply too potent. Setting aside ancient ruins, for this land and this era to give rise to even one such heaven-defying entity was already extraordinary. How could a second one possibly emerge in the same region, in the same era? The probability was far too low. It made perfect sense that these two civilizations were, in reality, controlled by a single race behind the scenes! It was like Naruto, where the entire world seemed to be filled with numerous warring factions, but in the end, it was all internal strife between the reincarnated families of two brothers—the world’s affairs were essentially family matters.

Mengmei asked, “So, what’s the situation now?”

The System Giver commented, “I have a feeling this war between the two sides is far from simple.”

“It’s not simple,” Qiu Mingshan Cheshu said, taking a deep breath. “Once the war erupts and they truly show their hands, it might be far more terrifying than we can imagine! If I’m not mistaken, the Three Heavenly Venerates don’t seem to be in a hurry. They might already be at Weak Tenth-Tier 100... If they hadn’t seen the Cosmic Garden and learned its history, they might have already tried to break through.”

Weak Tenth-Tier 100—meaning they could break through at any moment? Everyone got goosebumps. It felt like their trump cards were hidden far too deeply. These cosmic overlords and titans were truly formidable individuals.

“After all, they have lived for over five hundred thousand years... and their talent is exceptionally monstrous. But we can’t be certain. I feel that at least one of the Three Heavenly Venerates might be at the 100th step of the Tenth-Tier path, with the other two possibly around 80 or 90?” Qiu Mingshan Cheshu took another deep breath. “Now, imagine this: Three perfected Weak Tenth-Tier beings, plus an entity from the Fallen Civilization who has lived for over a million years and must already be at Weak Tenth-Tier 100, ready to break through at any moment... What would happen if these two sides clashed?”

Everyone broke out in goosebumps. That senior from the Abyssal Blue race, hidden behind the scenes and feigning death, must have been observing the growth of the Three Heavenly Venerates while simultaneously cultivating the Fallen Civilization, hoping for the emergence of Weak Tenth-Tier beings capable of breaking through to the Tenth-Tier. Once the opponent broke through to Tenth-Tier, this hidden entity would also break through, seize the opportunity to kill them... and usurp their Great Dao bloodline. This would allow them to possess multiple bloodlines within a short breakthrough period, ready to face the enemy! The Three Abyssal Blue Heavenly Venerates were merely pigs being raised by this hidden entity! And the 107 perfected Daoists under the Three Abyssal Blue Heavenly Venerates were also their cultivated ‘pigs’... The Three Abyssal Blue Heavenly Venerates, in all likelihood, held a similar intention.

Now, the truth about the Abyssal Blue Divine Realm was revealed. However, they had originally believed themselves to be the pig farmers, only to discover that there was someone else behind the scenes, silently treating them as another set of pigs! In reality, the opponent knew all their trump cards, had secretly observed their growth trajectory, and everything was exposed before them. Then, when they attempted to break through, the opponent would also break through simultaneously, launching a fatal sneak attack. Who could withstand that? Even in a direct confrontation, with all their trump cards known to the enemy, it would be fatal. They would be utterly powerless, as the opponent understood them better than they understood themselves. How could they fight? This level of calculation was terrifying.

Qiu Mingshan Cheshu continued, “But things are different now. The entity behind the Fallen Civilization might not succeed. After over a million years, they must have reached their combat power limit and can no longer improve it. They certainly won’t achieve an absolute crushing advantage.”

Everyone fell silent. Combat power would indeed reach its limit, but each individual’s limit was different. For example, a Dao Seed formed from the fusion of four heaven-defying bloodlines would certainly be different from one formed from four ordinary bloodlines.

Qiu Mingshan Cheshu said, “I feel that the bloodline formed by the four bloodlines of this mastermind might not be particularly strong. I’m afraid they can’t take on three opponents at once; it’s impossible for them to achieve a complete crushing advantage against the Three Heavenly Venerates... The situation is very unclear!”

“Indeed, the situation is unclear! We’ll only know their true combat power once they fight!”

“But that mastermind has never made a move, so their combat power is very mysterious. Yet, they know the four bloodline characteristics of the Three Heavenly Venerates in meticulous detail, giving them an enormous advantage!”

Everyone fully grasped Qiu Mingshan Cheshu’s meaning. When these two sides clashed, fighting to a frenzy and nearing death, one party would undoubtedly be unable to resist breaking through to the Tenth-Tier Ultimate! And other Weak Tenth-Tier beings would also break through one after another! Then, ultimately, one Tenth-Tier being would emerge victorious, plundering the Great Dao bloodlines of others to confront the supreme enemy above.

“Does this mean we’re about to witness a grand spectacle?”

“Holy hell! This is far more explosive and terrifying than the situation in the Cosmic Garden back then?”

At this moment, they had only recently learned the truth about Renimansga and the Cosmic Garden’s history, marveling at its vastness and the epic tales within. Who knew that right before their eyes, a much more terrifying transcendent dimensional war, involving cosmic breakthroughs to the Tenth-Tier, might soon erupt? They wouldn’t just witness the full-power battles of Weak Tenth-Tier beings! They would also see the breakthrough of a Tenth-Tier existence! And perhaps, they would even witness the supreme ultimate being who mysteriously destroyed the Cosmic Garden in the past, descending completely from unknown high-dimensional mystical spacetime to eliminate these new breakthrough individuals!

“That’s a Great Dao Ultimate being; they wouldn’t actually appear, would they?”

“That’s too terrifying!”

“If this war truly escalates to that extent, then ‘Buddhism’ could be considered the fuse for both sides, leading to a final decisive battle between the two super-civilizations.”

“Hey? Do you think that if these two sides start fighting, will the Super Ancient Gods, Moon Goddess Ji, and others secretly intervene to break through, like a mantis stalking a cicada, also seizing their bloodlines to instantly form powerful combat strength and confront the supreme enemy from beyond dimensions?”

“Hiss, it’s very possible!”

“Yes, for the Super Ancient Gods and others, the outbreak of this great war, even if the opponents are bumpkins, their bloodlines can still be borrowed and used. It might be an opportunity to break through to the Tenth-Tier!”

Everyone looked excited.
