Some players fell silent. Shi Rendie's actions were undoubtedly admirable. From beginning to end, he strived for the prosperity of his clan's Abyssal Blue civilization, even sacrificing himself. Such a man was undoubtedly worthy of admiration and respect.

Emperor Qi also frowned slightly, turning to look at Shi Rendie, who was fighting three opponents and was about to defeat the three Celestials. In a trance, he recalled Dao Changsheng, who once held up the heavens and earth, roaring before the Great Luo Heaven. Although he didn't approve of such actions, there were always some people in this world who possessed incredible obsessions and lofty, admirable dreams.

"In the original history, if Shi Rendie failed, would there not be an era of prosperity? Why compromise?" Caroline asked curiously, "Logically, if the opponent killed Shi Rendie, they could also complete the five great bloodlines and stop hunting, ushering in a complete transcendent golden age, allowing the enlightened ones to have a future."

"That's not the case," the baby shook his head, saying, "If Shi Rendie is killed, the opponent can only obtain his clan's primary bloodline, thus becoming a Four-Bloodline Ultimate Tenth-Stage being. One bloodline would still be missing, meaning countless future eras would still be cut off, forming a long dark age."

Through the opponent's explanation, they understood the truth. Although Ultimate Tenth-Stage beings could freely change bloodlines, their primary, innate Great Dao bloodline was unchangeable. Only the remaining four bloodlines could be swapped. Just like with previous transcendent life forms, your primary bloodline is the fundamental characteristic of your original race. When you seize another's bloodline, you can only take their primary racial bloodline. The remaining bloodlines cannot be seized. Ultimate Tenth-Stage beings are not significantly different from previous Ninth or Eighth-Stage life forms; one can only seize an opponent's primary racial bloodline.

"Every Great Dao bloodline is unique, a materialized embodiment of the Great Dao laws condensed by an Ultimate being. So, if an Ultimate Tenth-Stage being with three bloodlines is killed, can only their primary racial bloodline be seized? What about their other two unique Great Dao bloodlines?" Emperor Qi asked, stunned.

"They will naturally return to the universe," the baby shook his head. "After all, they originally completed the rules of the universe. With no one controlling them, they naturally return completely to the universe. Most of the universe's laws are uncontrolled, becoming the complete, unseen operating rules. These are the last traces of existence left by fallen Ultimate Tenth-Stage beings."

Everyone was awestruck. They had originally thought that by killing an Ultimate with three bloodlines, they could seize all three of the opponent's Great Dao bloodlines without any loss, leading to an increasing number of bloodlines accumulating over time. But who knew it was like this? If that were the case, the Great Dao bloodlines in the universe would be much more precious than they had imagined!

At the same time, they understood Shi Rendie's plan. If Shi Rendie were to become a Four-Bloodline Ultimate and challenge the opponent, the opponent would only gain one bloodline by killing him. If he didn't kill the three Celestials, they would be four One-Bloodline Ultimate Tenth-Stage beings, allowing the opponent to plunder four Great Dao bloodlines without loss. The opponent, however, only needed two Great Dao bloodlines to complete their own. The remaining two Celestials would survive, and the Fallen Civilization and Abyssal Blue Divine Domain would also be preserved.

"This is contradictory. With four bloodlines, he would barely have a chance to fight, but if he doesn't merge now, he won't have any possibility of fighting at all. Yet choosing not to merge and waiting for death is also the best option, as becoming a Four-Bloodline Ultimate would be a fight to the death, with nothing left if he loses." At the same time, if the opponent didn't acquire a complete set of bloodlines and still lacked one, a dark age like the present would continue to loom, and a hopeless future would persist for a long time.

"Sacrificing himself to end the current dark age, ushering in a bright future for this land, and simultaneously saving the continuation of the Abyssal Blue race"—at that moment, the players knew the truth and were at a loss for words. They hadn't expected the hegemon of the transcendent cosmic civilization, ruling Earth and even the nearby galaxy cluster, to possess such a broad mind. They looked at Shi Rendie in the distance, feeling that such an existence was indeed worthy of being called the strongest man under the starry sky in the history of this great stellar region. He was quite extraordinary in this unsophisticated land.

At this point, the battle was very swift. Everyone knew they had to finish quickly and fought with all their might. However, the three Abyssal Blue Celestials were quickly suppressed and soon lost the power to resist. The three Celestials were defeated, but their expressions showed neither joy nor sorrow, as if they had long awaited this fate. They looked at Shi Rendie.

"We lost, but we have no regrets. Our combat power was never as good as yours, nor was our aptitude. We could only cultivate to the Tenth Stage by relying on the improved Abyssal Blue bloodline. Otherwise, we would have long since died of old age." They clearly knew that their aptitude was insufficient for the Tenth Stage and that they were destined to die of old age. It was because of the improved Abyssal Blue bloodline by Shi Rendie, which allowed them to cultivate within frozen time, that they were able to reach this point today. Shi Rendie, however, was different. His Abyssal Blue bloodline was unimproved; he couldn't cultivate in static time. He entered the gates of the Tenth Stage step by step, relying on his own abilities! This also meant that given any bloodline, he could break through to the Ultimate Tenth Stage!

At this moment, their Tenth-Stage realm came from Shi Rendie's bestowal. Their life's mission was to break through to the Tenth Stage, and now, it was only natural for their power to be reclaimed and used to confront the transcendent dimensional entity that was about to descend.

"You owe me nothing," Shi Rendie said.

"The Abyssal Blue race, eternal and imperishable." The Abyssal Blue Celestials displayed a gentle, radiant smile, their eyes reflecting memories of earlier years—three young boys following their tall, strong father, traveling through mountains and rivers. They slowly bowed, "Father, please pave the way for the Abyssal Blue race! Please fulfill our final dream, to stand eternally at the end of the universe!"

*Snap.* Shi Rendie gently clapped, and the three Celestials offered no final resistance, allowing themselves to be sealed into slumber.

"Their final dream?" Shi Rendie silently looked up, his nose tingling slightly. The ultimate dream of civilization, the echo of those words lingered in his ears. It was a belief he had mentioned to the three young boys in their youth, never imagining they would carry it in their hearts all this time. The dreams pursued by trillions of ancestors, heroes, and living beings of every civilization, generation after generation, were indeed laid bare before him. Yet, what he now faced was not an opportunity for a dream, but destined death.

"The battle is over." Further away, Emperor Qi and others watched the scene, filled with emotion after learning the truth.

"But there's no need to worry. Your unfulfilled dreams, the dreams you couldn't achieve, we will complete for you!" At this point, a player declared confidently, chest puffed out, "Shi Rendie's bloodline cannot defeat the opponent, but we are different. The progenitors of our Buddhist and Daoist systems will break through to the Weak Tenth Stage, descend in person, seize your bloodlines, and challenge that supreme entity!"

The baby's eyes flashed with disbelief. Could it be that like a mantis stalks a cicada, unaware of the oriole behind, there was a Weak Tenth-Stage entity lurking in the shadows, also secretly waiting to break through and instantly crush them, seize their bloodlines, and then challenge the supreme dimensional entity? Originally, in their perception, this was impossible. After all, they had foreseen the future and hadn't seen such a variable, anyone plotting against them. But now, it was different. These mysterious beings were simply not in the future scenarios, meaning they had transcended fate. It was truly possible they were hidden in the dark, preparing a scheme.

"If it's truly the rumored Buddhist and Daoist Weak Tenth-Stage beings, and they kill the Abyssal Blue Celestials, then a battle isn't impossible!" the baby said in a low voice. It wasn't that they were unwilling to pay the price, but rather whether the effort was worth it and if there was a possibility of winning!

"Exactly!" the player said proudly. "Only those veteran Ultimate beings pose some threat, but even then, it's not a big one! How could some unknown 'countryside' bloodline possibly contend?"

The baby couldn't help but ask, "Then why are there no world-shaking phenomena or signs of a Tenth-Stage breakthrough now? If they don't break through soon, it will be too late! Even if they break through now, they might not make it in time. The opponent is probably already descending!"

The players' smug faces instantly stiffened. "Right, why haven't we seen any signs of the Super Ancient God breaking through?" "Logically, they should have broken through by now!" "And even if they break through now, they might not make it in time. Furthermore, there isn't even a hint of a breakthrough yet?" This completely defied Qiu Mingshan Che Su's predictions! Nor did it align with the Super Ancient God's grand plan! The Super Ancient God had already been observing this battle. For a Weak Tenth-Stage being, facing such a great opportunity now, when else would be a better time to break through to the Ultimate Tenth Stage? At this moment, all the players began to panic.

Xu Zhi sat in his courtyard, his expression far from calm. High-level Ninth Stage. He had finally endured the initial accumulation and reached this realm. He could now embark on the path of the Weak Tenth Stage, but clearly, he didn't have a Weak Tenth-Stage path; he could directly enter the Tenth Stage! Energy was also ready. The energy required to break through to the Ninth Stage was already astronomical. How vast would the energy be to break through to the Tenth Stage? However, having plundered the accumulated resources of the Abyssal Blue Divine Domain and the Fallen Civilization, and especially after extorting the three Pillar Gods who had just returned, the reserves of his four thousand enlightened civilizations were indeed sufficient. The Tenth Stage was a natural progression. It was as if the breakthrough happened naturally, without any disturbance.

"Is this the Ultimate Tenth Stage?" Xu Zhi had also pried open the door to the Great Dao. In the unseen depths, there was a sense of transcendence, and the entire universe felt clear and lucid. "Also, why are there no phenomena accompanying my breakthrough? Are they looking down on me that much?" His eyelids twitched wildly. "If I don't condense the Ultimate Tenth Stage of the Great Dao, am I not a person? No special treatment at all? Others caused the entire galaxy to tremble, heaven and earth to offer blessings, and the Great Dao laws of the universe to vibrate and change. What about me?"

He bothered less with such thoughts, instead lowering his gaze and sensing his realm. Standing at the end of the Great Dao, he had an unseen feeling, able to perceive the very origin of the entire universe at any moment. It was like being able to see a star map of countless stars simply by looking up at any time—that kind of unseen sensation. He saw a massive tree, lush with branches and leaves, from whose roots, stemming from the chaotic Big Bang, countless branches split off, forming a towering tree. It was also another manifestation of the Great Dao Overture. The Great Dao Overture was also a part of chaos, a tree-like diagram continually splitting into countless musical notes. The tree and the musical overture were merely different forms of Great Dao diagrammatic representations. This tree, at this moment, seemed to see through appearances, revealing the root of the entire universe—its source code, or perhaps, the primordial source of all laws and cosmic phenomena. The Tenth Stage was an Ultimate life form standing at the end of the universe, perceiving its origins!

Looking at this great tree, Xu Zhi was filled with shock. "Every branch and green leaf on it represents an existence throughout history, with varying statuses. The stronger the 'Dao' condensed, the higher its position, closer to the core laws, closer to the main trunk's branches. Conversely, the more common, lower-level Great Daos are found in the branches of branches." Xu Zhi felt very surprised. This was like fixed meditation cushions or seats; once one attained the Dao and stepped into the Ultimate realm, the Dao they had pioneered became a part of the universe's rules, leaving their imprint.

"I wonder which main branch the Abyssal Blue Celestials and others are on?" Xu Zhi's gaze swept around, complex and chaotic like a sky full of stars. "That one should be the main time branch, but under it are countless secondary branches. They are probably on a secondary branch, quite close to the front section." He scanned around but couldn't confirm their exact location. After all, only they themselves knew precisely which branch of the time law they belonged to.

"I just don't know, now that this magnificent tree has been perfected to such complexity, how many of the beings on it are still alive? How many have fallen? How many have been taken? But no matter what, their imprints in this world have been left here." Xu Zhi sighed with emotion. If even one percent were alive, Xu Zhi would consider it good. A Five-Gene Ultimate with complete bloodlines, after all, would need to eliminate four other Ultimates!

But he couldn't find his own trace at all. Because he hadn't used his four transcendent system paths, his lifelong learning, to condense his own crystallization of wisdom, to condense his own Dao. If one were to use an analogy, he hadn't changed or perfected the rules of the universe to become a law embodiment of the Great Dao. There was no Great Dao seat for him on this great tree; he was the type with a standing ticket.

Having broken through to the Tenth Stage, Xu Zhi ultimately had no time to sort through his gains. "Now it's quite troublesome. Shi Rendie? I hadn't expected him to be hiding such a secret." Xu Zhi mused. He had originally planned to sit back and watch, or even suppress the breakthroughs of Shi Rendie and others. If they didn't break through, that Ultimate entity wouldn't descend. Who knew Emperor Qi would cause trouble, making them break through to the Tenth Stage early? His own breakthrough speed couldn't keep up, and he only managed to break through at the last minute now, which was quite helpless. They've already defeated the three Celestials and are waiting for the ancient Ultimate to descend, and I'm only breaking through now? This is too late!

"However, if that Tenth-Stage Ultimate succeeds, it would be difficult to deal with. Once they seize Shi Rendie's clan's bloodline and their strength vastly increases, I'll still have to overthrow them. And an opponent ruling over this land is also very troublesome." Xu Zhi continuously weighed his options, assessing his current combat power. Although he had been sitting back and watching, and had fully withdrawn, it would naturally be best if he could intervene.

"The opponent has an elemental bloodline, an iron-based bloodline, and their own unknown clan bloodline..." Xu Zhi frowned. "Their own clan is unknown, but elemental and iron-based? Isn't that a mismatch? These two conflict completely." Where was the elemental bloodline powerful? It was powerful in its pure energy state, possessing physical immunity and infinite energy replenishment characteristics. But if the opponent had physical flesh, it would be crippled, becoming a semi-elemental creature like the Mother River civilization, yet without the Mother River civilization's lineage. "The elemental bloodline the opponent integrated is likely just for show! With a physical body, they can't have physical immunity. With flesh, energy replenishment would require flesh transformation, not direct absorption." Xu Zhi frowned. "The elemental bloodline's heaven-defying characteristic is crippled! At most, it can only be used as a powerful elemental energy Dao technique for attacks. Furthermore, I also possess an elemental bloodline and understand its fighting style and strategies, so this bloodline of theirs cannot restrain me."

"As for the iron-based bloodline..." Xu Zhi smiled faintly, "The iron-based race is powerful because of their enormous iron bodies. If he integrates it, it will still be his original race's body size, just like anyone else integrating an iron-based bloodline would become a small iron person, not a giant of stellar proportions." Outsiders integrating the iron-based race's bloodline truly weren't strong. They couldn't inherit their body size; their entire body would just turn into steel. If the opponent integrated it, it would mean that with the iron-based bloodline, they could only fight with gravity. "Both of these are crippled heaven-defying Great Dao bloodlines, having lost their original power. This highlights the importance of synergy. And since I possess both, they won't affect me!"

Xu Zhi continued to ponder, feeling that this was a stroke of immense luck. He was a natural counter to his opponent! He happened to be intimately familiar with these two races. Could the opponent even perform effectively? The opponent was just too unlucky. But on second thought, it wasn't bad luck; it was only natural. These two Weak Tenth-Stage civilization relics were rooted in this land, being the two closest recent civilization relics. It was highly probable that he would find them.

"It seems I, too, must ascend to the heavens and conquer the Dao." Xu Zhi frowned slightly, transformed into the Emperor, and strode across the sky.

Everyone turned to look. Still, no heaven-and-earth phenomena occurred, causing them to secretly worry. If the Super Ancient God hadn't broken through, then... But the next second, they saw the Lord of Reincarnation, a figure draped in a black robe—an ancient Emperor whose might spanned eons—descending from the void. The players grew anxious and hastily asked, "Where is the Super Ancient God?" They thought it was the Super Ancient God, sending Emperor as a disciple to deliver a message. Dressed in black, the Emperor exuded imperial might. His eyes gleamed with sharp light, chillingly, as he calmly stated, "Why would my master need to appear? For those so-called Ultimate Tenth-Stage existences, my intervention alone is sufficient."

As these words fell, everyone's minds went blank.
