Currently, ensuring one's own safety is paramount.

"At least several hundred ordinary Ninth-Tier beings are needed, and the more, the better."

Xu Zhi frantically calculated, "Otherwise, the 'destiny' of the race would be too weak, and the power accumulated by the Zerg protective shield wouldn't be enough to block a Tenth-Tier being's gaze!"

But this number was too vast.

It should be noted that Xu Zhi had very few ordinary Ninth-Tier beings under him. The recently ascended Meng Mei, though not a Ninth-Tier with perfected genes, could be counted.

What about the others?

There were almost no ordinary Ninth-Tier beings in the second stratum.

After all, it was a civilization just over ten thousand years old, with too little accumulated power!

Hundreds of them—that's hundreds of times the current number of Zergs. Gathering them all at once would not be simple.

"But it's not impossible! Collaborating with Buddhism to secretly convert a large number of Ninth-Tier beings is the fastest and simplest method!"

He himself wasn't incapable of directly converting them into Zergs like Nayserra, but it would be time-consuming and laborious, less practical and efficient than viral infection.

"It seems it's time to launch the first true Zerg war. If we don't aggressively expand and struggle for survival in this great catastrophe of nebulae destruction, I'm afraid something truly disastrous will happen."

"Tenth-Tier beings... truly terrifying and desirable."

He murmured silently, slightly closing his eyes, "But the power I can currently wield is somewhat limited!"

The Universe Garden side was completely useless. After all, Medusa was the only combatant, and her true combat power couldn't be rapidly increased.

On Moon God Ji's side, Ji Entropy, Sun God Asa, and other beings had not yet developed. The only usable one was Phoenix.

"Renimansgar can truly only observe," Xu Zhi said, looking at Shi Ji and Medusa beside him without a change in expression. "The main combat power still lies with the core civilization's Buddhist and Taoist transcendent systems!"

A hint of madness flashed in Xu Zhi's eyes. "It seems if I don't seize a great opportunity in this catastrophe, I can only wait for death. But if I succeed, snatching from the tiger's mouth and absorbing hundreds, or even thousands, of ordinary Ninth-Tier beings, I'll be hundreds of times stronger than now! The Ancient God's weak Tenth-Tier power would then truly live up to its name!"

Seven Realms Land.

Tower World.

A voice suddenly resonated through the skies of the three transcendent worlds, echoing from all directions, like the voice of the Heavenly Dao itself.

"Great changes are occurring in heaven and earth; a major calamity is approaching."

"The scale of this battle will be no less than the ancient wars of slaughter, the War of the Universe Garden, or the ancient Buddhist and Taoist war against Ji. Life and death will hang in the balance."

"In this battle, the Three Pillar Gods will be central, with all civilizations fully supporting them. Prosperous Buddhism will spread its teachings and followers, and after this campaign, the Buddhist lands will span billions of light-years across endless celestial river regions!"

As soon as the voice fell, countless powerful ancient beings inexplicably looked up, a hint of shock flashing in their eyes.

"It's the Ancient God!"

Their faces were pale, their hearts taut.

"Even the Ancient God, the ancient progenitor of Buddhism and Taoism, says the impact of this battle might become completely uncontrollable, earth-shattering, and could even lead to our destruction?"

A terrifying cosmic catastrophe was about to strike again, with vast tides surging forward. As mere dust motes of their era, they had to find a sliver of hope within it.

Tower World.

Over ten thousand Super Saiyan Ninth-Tier beings.

The Eastern Azure Divine Dynasty, the Self-Sacrificing Buddhist Nation, countless beings looked up at the sky from afar.

"Has it come so quickly? But we fear nothing." Emperor Dong Qing slowly emerged from the shadows, his footsteps growing clearer.

"Everyone, it seems this is our battlefield."

"Yes, we can know the world's affairs and fight anyone without leaving our homes."

Each being smiled; they planned to join the battle.

"Go help the Three Pillar Gods," Caroline's voice came from the depths of the shadows.

Although they were competitors, such an erupting conflict naturally demanded a united front. "Go help Buddhism, move secretly within the battlefield, and attack those who have achieved enlightenment."

"Yes!"

"Yes!"

Voices echoed around, as she was, after all, the progenitor of their entire race.

In a wooden house on a desolate planet.

Standing on the dark brown, desolate land, Caroline held a white tall tower in one hand, gazing far into the sky,

"Unfortunately, I'm still a bit short of completely perfecting the Nine Revolutions Mysterious Art and the Spiritual Universe at this realm."

After all, even with insane resource allocation for reproduction, it still takes time; the beings within the inner world generally needed to reach the Third and Fourth Tiers.

"I need to wait a bit longer, after all, the true strong ones haven't made their move yet, so I can take my time," Caroline said, looking at the Heavenly Dao Piano. "My Grand Dao is still lacking..."

The piano emitted a crisp and pleasant sound, like the tinkle of colliding keys. "How many laws have you created?"

"Over a dozen," Caroline said. "They were all derived from that evil prelude to the dark universe and don't belong here. Once I make a move, they'll be terrified. Your ability to create laws is terrifying, and given your nature, following Emperor Qi is the best choice."

"I don't like him," said the Heavenly Dao Piano.

Seven Realms Heavenly Court.

Inside the sacred, classical palace radiating light, Emperor Qi, clad in a golden imperial robe, stood tall, exuding an unimaginable aura.

Beside him, the Empress, in a magnificent white long gown with a sweeping train, wearing a phoenix coronet, also revealed a beautiful smile on her exquisite face.

"Heaven and Earth are in complete chaos. Ever since encountering the Abyssal Blue Civilization from beyond the heavens and spacetime, I suspected this battle would eventually come," Emperor Qi said, looking far into the sky. "We will fight beyond our domain and expand our territory."

"There's still one last thread not yet complete."

Emperor Qi sat on his imperial throne, looking down at his ministers, and said in a low voice, "We can observe for a while longer... The path of the weak Tenth-Tier? I shall give them a tremendous surprise!"

The Three Pillar Gods watched the overwhelming mechanical spacecraft.

"After all, we are not truly ordinary Ninth-Tier enlightened beings. We are Qi Luck, another ethereal life form."

One of the Pillar Gods said.

"Yes, we are Qi Luck; we are the collective will of the entire Demon Core race, existing in the ethereal realm."

"No, 'Demon Core' should be 'Sharira.' We are the collective will of all sentient Buddhist followers; we are the Three Buddhas: Past, Present, and Future."

The Three Pillar Gods were extremely calm.

They were fundamentally different from Medusa.

Medusa was a living being; they were Qi Luck without physical form.

They controlled the entire race. Under their control, Du Xue, Daughter of Sheng Lin, and Subaru had already broken through to the perfect enlightened Ninth-Tier.

It should be noted that aside from Emperor Qi and a few others who had broken through, the closest among the rest was Ermin, yet they already had three.

This was the terror of destiny!

To master the power of destiny was equivalent to mastering the future of Du Xue and the others.

Where they would gain insights.

When, and at which cliff, their state of mind would align for a breakthrough.

What resources would best suit their cultivation methods, what spouse would best enable their breakthroughs...

Across countless parallel worldlines and countless futures, they found the most miraculous path for them, calculating the most perfect breakthrough routes.

This was destiny.

To master the worldlines of destiny was to master miracles themselves.

However, they were ultimately just destiny, a life form of destiny very similar to the Zerg sub-brain.

Did the Three Pillar Gods, formed by the collective of their entire race, constitute a life form with individual combat power?

It was a kind of "fortune."

The Zerg sub-brain used the "destiny" of the entire race to form a defensive Zerg protective shield.

They, on the other hand, used the "destiny" of the entire race to form their aggregate combat body. One for defense, one for combat—nothing more.

"We are a massive aggregation of mental power, formed from countless Ninth-Tier beings, countless gods, countless Heavenly Emperors, and countless mortals from all strata of the pyramid."

"We are a form of elemental spiritual life, condensed from the mental power of countless Demon Cores."

The Three Pillar Gods, with their three heads, had now assumed their strongest combat form. "However, our main combat power still comes from the more powerful sub-computers."

"Nearly a hundred ordinary Ninth-Tier beings have already been infected. We estimate that once a thousand are infected, our converged Qi Luck, forming the Pillar God's true form, will be able to reach the weak Tenth-Tier."

Crack!

A blinding flash of lightning streaked across, and a cosmic mechanical fortress, vast beyond imagination, illuminated their faces.

Mighty beings of Inspector-level stood upon it.

"Is that the Buddha?"

"He forcibly infects living beings, turning their brains into crystal concretions."

"Then he uses these brains to fill his entire body, forming his physique?"

"A body made entirely of brains?"

"His mental power and Dao techniques must be unimaginably vast!"

"It's said he also strung some brains into necklaces, wearing them around his neck, calling them Buddhist beads!"

"It's said he also strung some brains into prayer beads, holding them in his hand and constantly fondling them!"

"How can such an evil, ferocious, and terrifying creature exist in this universe!?"

Countless beings shivered in fear, looking at this monster from afar.

"Have they arrived?"

The massive Three Pillar Gods sat cross-legged on a small planet.

Their posture and size were as comical as a bloated, three-headed frog sitting on a ping-pong ball, yet in the dark cosmic atmosphere, they exuded an extremely bizarre, eerie, evil, and terrifying aura.

After all, their size was already immense, almost half that of Renimansgar.

Many of the enlightened ones they consumed were no longer ant-sized, but normal biological sizes. How immense were the bodies they formed?

They also carried their own civilizations with them. How vast was an enlightened one's civilization? Populations numbered in the hundreds of billions, with countless gods and Heavenly Emperors.

They had infected nearly a hundred enlightened civilizations.

The radiated Buddhist sect had already welcomed a terrifying race exceeding hundreds of billions in population, and the destiny that replaced them would be incomparably dreadful.

Around them, light clouds continuously condensed, and countless wisps of fine golden smoke churned.

"This is the Buddha!"

"Welcome to the Buddhist Pure Land!"

The Three Pillar Gods lifted the small planet they sat on, raising it high above their arms, and slammed it fiercely towards the space fortress, their cold, ruthless voice echoing,

"Come on. I know your high-level beings cannot intervene; they are restrained by the Three Celestial Venerables. Even if the Three Celestial Venerables don't act, the Ancient God will move to defend us."

Their calculations and absolute rationality meant they wouldn't fight an uncertain battle. "Once we have encompassed most of the entire Abyssal Blue Divine Realm, even the lofty weak Tenth-Tier beings can be slain; we will show you."

"The goal is already within reach. The weak Tenth-Tier protector—we are about to achieve it."
