Rumble.

The great war had completely erupted. Terrifying beings descended from the void, which was collapsing inch by inch. The entities arriving here were all formidable overlords and magnates from nearby galaxies.

Vast amounts of law-infused mist steamed within the cold, desolate universe, while hundreds, even thousands, of cold, metallic black mechanical spacecraft and magical warships floated in the vacuum.

Level Eight gods, the strongest beings on a planet's surface, and Level Nine Path-Attainers were all great existences capable of destroying planets. Level Nine was also the strongest realm below the ultimate Level Ten of the Grand Dao. Yet, such extremely rare and magnificent beings appeared in large numbers on this land, initiating the universe's most massive supernatural war.

"Yes, this is the largest war in the universe!"

Standing above a street shop in the logistics area of the gathering point, Netheria looked up at the sky and said in a deep voice: "Here, there are supernatural pantheons from countless planes: martial arts pantheons, holy spirit pantheons, demonic pantheons, heterodox paths, elemental beings, barbarians, and so on. Thousands, even hundreds of thousands of years old, large and small branches have settled in the Fallen Alliance... This is a place where a group of failures huddle together for warmth, but at this moment, anyone could face destruction here." Netheria uttered the words with difficulty.

"Will this war be the largest galactic supernatural war in the universe?" Medusa asked, somewhat surprised.

Metula bowed respectfully and replied, "Yes, you should be aware... a Level Nine nebula-scale supernatural war is already the highest dimension in the entire universe. Both sides are massive cosmic allies! Their territorial domains span countless galaxies, governing thousands of civilizations. As for wars between higher-level 'Dao' entities, those are beyond our imagination."

"I see." Medusa felt a bit dazed. Had they, without realizing it, risen from the era of the Wizard World to such an incredible height?

"Based on our observations of historical ancient ruins, many civilizations have emerged and fallen in the universe," Metula added. "Even some powerful, 'weak' Level Ten civilizations have perished in this manner, becoming ancient historical relics... Perhaps we ourselves are becoming relics, destined to be unearthed by future generations in the distant future."

At this moment, their entire group was profoundly respectful, understanding the gravity of the situation.

"Is that so?" Shi Ji also sighed with emotion, "This war might turn this great civilization into a part of history, becoming one of the many ancient ruins on this land. If future generations were to evaluate it, they might only say it was once a very powerful ancient 'weak' Level Ten civilization, but nothing more."

"That's natural... We study the historical relics of ancient civilizations, but we ourselves will eventually become one of those relics." Netheria's gaze was fervent as she looked at the distant mechanical spacecraft.

"Leaving aside other places, on this very land, we have only occupied a historical span of 1.5 million years... What about the preceding 1.5 million years? And the subsequent 1.5 million years? And if we calculate on an even higher time scale, what about a hundred million years? We are merely tiny dust motes within a hundred million years."

"Dust..." Shi Ji suddenly clutched her father's arm, feeling an immense dread. Civilizations like the Abyssal Blue Divine Realm and the Fallen Civilization, seemingly powerful for ruling a 1.5-million-year period, were countless throughout history, rising and falling.

"Father, we are too insignificant. What good is being a so-called Path-Attainer, a supreme being beyond cosmic laws? Compared to the vast universe, we are pitiful ants. Not reaching Level Ten is ultimately pathetic!"

"Therefore, we must strive. We have a chance to transcend; we possess the ultimate cosmic secret."

Renimansga merely smiled, thinking that Medusa and Shi Ji still maintained a relaxed, almost playful attitude, as they were only here to observe the great war. But he was different! He knew the mastermind behind the Fallen Civilization and the war that was possibly about to erupt!

According to Qiu Mingshan Cheshu's deduction, the primeval gods must indeed intervene, for how could they not act when such a lucrative opportunity presented itself? If successful, they would directly break through to Level Ten, completely disregarding previous concerns about lifespan and slumber.

"According to normal theory, the primeval gods would surely seize such an immense opportunity... There's no reason not to act, but I have no way to intervene," Xu Zhi frowned. "This is a golden opportunity, a true cosmic transcendence, a chance to become an 'ultimate' being of the Grand Dao right before their eyes... If they don't act, it would be too unrealistic."

In reality, even if the "primeval gods" genuinely didn't intervene, the decisive battle could still erupt completely, with both sides fighting with true ferocity, causing their respective civilizations to directly break through to Level Ten! Then, they would choose to directly fight to the death within Level Ten. The survivor, seizing the "Grand Dao bloodlines" of others, would then turn to confront the ultimate being about to descend from the ethereal realm!

"As Qiu Mingshan Cheshu predicted, this is highly likely to happen... Since it's all out in the open, both sides will directly break through to Level Ten during their great war, becoming Level Ten beings and fighting based on their individual abilities. The victor will step over the corpses of others to confront that ethereal being... Who among these beings wouldn't have strong self-confidence, believing themselves to be the sole survivor of their 'gu' cultivation?" Xu Zhi took a deep breath.

The only chance for transcendence, true Level Ten, was before them. Missing this opportunity might mean losing it forever. Their likelihood of resolving to act was extremely high.

"This means that Level Ten is about to be born here... Regardless of who wins, a living Level Ten ultimate being will descend upon this mortal realm, then challenge a certain taboo existence from above... What I must also consider is... will I be killed, and will my sandbox world be discovered!" Xu Zhi's scalp tingled slightly.

After all, the Zerg, Earth, and various sandbox worlds were all located at the edges of the galactic regions ruled by both sides, quite close, in fact. Otherwise, how could they have encountered each other? The Abyssal Blue Divine Realm and the Fallen Civilization were, by nature, the true dominant civilizations of this era! Once an "ultimate" being descended, he might be spotted in an instant!

Should he flee now? If he truly tried to escape, he probably wouldn't get far before being utterly crushed. A supreme ultimate taboo existence standing at the pinnacle of the entire universe was no joke.

"Is this the greatest crisis the Zerg have ever faced, the one I am currently experiencing?" Xu Zhi's expression turned completely solemn. He could already foresee the eruption of the crisis, a true dark ultimate decisive battle, a fight to the death... On the blood-soaked land, a Level Ten being was about to be born, ready to challenge the descending existence from above! It was similar to, or even greater than, the situation that erupted in the Cosmic Garden back then. But even though he knew, nothing could be stopped; it felt as if they could only await destruction.

"I'm still too weak. Just one more year would be enough... Level Ten? I could easily demonstrate it to you, but there's simply no time for that right now." Xu Zhi softly shook his head, suddenly recalling a recent remark, "Just as little Shi Ji said, we are also but dust in history." He slightly closed his eyes, thinking of a solution.

"By the way, Zerg Sub-Brain, can the current Zerg barrier block the prying of a Level Ten ultimate being?"

A mechanical voice replied: "Currently, it cannot, but it is quite close. With several 'weak' Level Ten beings, hundreds of fully formed Level Nine beings, and an infinite number of vast Zerg creatures, the combined racial protective shield can block the prying of ordinary Level Ten beings."

Hundreds of normally sized Level Nine beings... and that's considered "quite close"? Xu Zhi pondered slightly. However, several "weak" Level Ten beings could be achieved soon... It seemed he would have to make some temporary transformations, or the Three Pillar Gods could strive to reach that level.

Xu Zhi breathed a sigh of relief. The Zerg protective shield truly deserved its reputation as one of the core's strongest bloodlines. At the very least, while they fought, he could hide inside the Zerg protective shield and observe.

"By the way, Zerg Sub-Brain, you're a perfect Level Ten with five genes, right? Wouldn't it be easy to fight Level Ten beings with one or two genes?" Although the Zerg Sub-Brain comprised five non-combat bloodlines, as the molted body of the Zerg Matriarch, its realm was already the highest in the universe. A five-gene being fighting a three-gene being, with a difference of two gene slots, was equivalent to a Level Nine Path-Attainer battling a Level Seven Heavenly Emperor... The disparity in combat power was immense! Even as a non-combat type, its aura alone could crush an opponent.

The Zerg Sub-Brain responded: "It is possible. Each bloodline difference is enormous. The existence of five Grand Dao bloodlines represents a perfect qualitative change; its aura alone can shatter a Level Ten existence with four Grand Dao bloodlines... However, currently, the Matriarch has no execution authority."

As expected of the previous Zerg Matriarch's molted body, capable of crushing foes with its mere aura... Xu Zhi said, "Wait, I don't have authority? Why?"

The Zerg Sub-Brain replied again: "The Matriarch established two absolute core authorities: One, the Zerg's native bloodline cannot be altered or evolved. Two, the Sub-Brain is absolutely forbidden from intervening in combat."

Xu Zhi froze. The Zerg's core bloodlines, the five major gene slots, were fundamental to their existence! The Zerg possessed an extraordinary talent for evolving life, and their native bloodlines could naturally evolve. Xu Zhi understood that he couldn't just casually modify them; one needed to reach a certain level to truly control the Zerg's lifeline. Otherwise, if one's realm wasn't high enough and they recklessly evolved, they could cripple the Zerg. The accumulated efforts of successive Zerg Matriarchs—concepts like "spore evolution" and "gene secret doors"—would be ruined, and the Zerg would fall into complete decline.

But what was the situation with the Zerg Sub-Brain being absolutely forbidden from intervening?

"Once it acts and exposes its aura, it will be sensed by the ethereal existence... Even if the contemporary Zerg Matriarch perishes, the Zerg Sub-Brain will absolutely not intervene. It will only flee, select the next host, and continue to revive the Zerg."

Xu Zhi fell completely silent for a moment: "..." That single sentence seemed to reveal a rather large amount of information. Truly a race specialized in evasion, masterfully skilled at escape.

"This means I'm still too weak; I don't truly possess the core authority to control this race, to dictate its life and death, its future..." Xu Zhi fully grasped the situation, and a strange thought emerged. He feared he would need to reach at least Level Ten, or even a Level Ten with all five perfected genes, to truly wield core authority and decide the genuine fate and future of this astonishing race! Only when he genuinely gained the ability to stand at the apex of the universe would the ultimate authority be granted to him, allowing him to freely modify the Zerg's native genes and even command the Zerg Sub-Brain to act... But by then, would he still need the Zerg Sub-Brain, that dullard, to act?

"Never mind, I won't bother with it... The ramifications of this war are too vast; no egg remains unbroken when the nest is overturned. I'll just try to see how things develop. After all, the Zerg might be completely detected... I might even have to find a way to make the primeval gods take action, because not interfering would also spell doom..."

He mused for a moment, then looked up. Countless beings merged into the void as the true war officially began. "The war has started, and since it's the initial phase, it's a free-for-all. I'll go devour a few Level Nine beings first to bolster the Zerg protective shield's strength! Once safety is secured, then we can talk about other matters."
